00:03:00here in May togri, from here, I export this caps to countries
00:03:04like England, Saudi Arabia, Niger and Cameroon, showing the
00:03:07quality and skill of our own people, the business is thriving and
00:03:11very much profitable, premium caps sell from 80,000 nar
00:03:15to over 100, while simpler designs go for
00:03:1920,000 to 25, naking them both
00:03:22valuable and accessible, you cannot
00:03:26find an authentic Zana Cup anywhere else but here in Medigry. I've
00:03:30spent over 25 years in this craft, supplying customers
00:03:34across Nigeria and beyond,
00:03:36of Niger Republic, Cameroon, Saudi Arabia,
00:03:40China, and even the United States. For us, it's more than
00:03:44of business, but heritage. We passed the skill down to our wifes and
00:03:48children, ensuring the
00:03:49of tradition leaves on. Each Zana cap is a work of patience and
00:03:53precision, often taking one to two months to complete a
00:03:57a single quality design. Today, the Zana
00:04:01Cup rests on distinguished heads, quietly announcing
00:04:05status and style. From
00:04:09Nigeria's Vice President, Kashim
00:04:11ti Shetima, Burna state governor, Baba Ginazulum, the
00:04:15billionaire philanthropist Muhammadu Indemi and a
00:04:18constellation of influential figures, it has become
00:04:22a signature of northern
00:04:24excellence.
00:04:31To see it is to see burno, it
00:04:35is to embody
00:04:36pride. In
00:04:40borneau, for so many years our people
00:04:44used to wear Zana cap, as part
00:04:47of their tradition, as part
00:04:48of their culture, as well as well as as part
00:04:52of uh earning
00:04:54in respect, for
00:04:55of because you are incomplete, you don't
00:04:56of have cap on your head, so that was how it origin. nated, it
00:05:00came all the way from from from
00:05:03in Yemen, so as I i said earlier, it is
00:05:07just a collection of pieces of different colors
00:05:11of of. clothing, they cut it small, small, small, and then
00:05:15they put it together to make it cap, but
00:05:19nowadays, people are using different colors of
00:05:23threat to make uh z, as you
00:05:26are now, if you are your out, even if you go to the
00:05:30palace or any other big mass place with your cap on your head

00:06:07young man, dropped in flowing caughtens, pair

00:06:18unmistakable, culture is not

00:06:23evolving,
00:06:30a state long shadowed by conflict, the
00:06:34z rises like a quiet rebellion,
00:06:37werrited narratives through color,
00:06:41craft and... activity,
00:06:44every cup sold is more than a
00:06:47transaction, it is
00:06:49testimony, story of
00:06:52resilience, a stage of revival and a
00:06:56thread of hope. it fills local
00:07:00enterprise, empows young artisans
00:07:03and preserves heritage that refuses to

00:09:49life. The first move
00:09:53towards resettlement began in 1999 during the
00:09:56administration of then governor Bola Chinubu,
00:10:00vision carried forward decades later and executed under
00:10:03Governor Babaji Deson Wolu. It led to the movement the
00:10:07Okubaba plank market from the dense heart of Ibuche
00:10:11meta to Disevolving settlement, now known as
00:10:15Timberville
00:10:16agbawa.
00:10:27This is one the largest some relocation in West
00:10:30Africa. Well, two years after, the smillers who were
00:10:34relocated from the Okubaba area of Ebuche Meta,
00:10:38Yaba area of Lagos States, say the journey has been an interesting
00:10:42one.
00:10:58Here a new way of life has taken
00:11:01shape, forged through adaptation, survival
00:11:05and necessity. Razzaq Morgaji, a wooden
00:11:09photo frame caver is one of many who made the
00:11:12move, now some people don't want to come here, later they still
00:11:15come, because the if nothing, they not, if there
00:11:19is
00:11:19one pursue person for one place and that place nothing there again, what are you waiting
00:11:23for there, they say? and give them some million and
00:11:27estate so so this and we are seeing it but as the
00:11:31small small association under something they are not
00:11:35nobody can give us fight
00:11:35anything government want to fight
00:11:37government
00:11:42compensation was promised but for many it never
00:11:45matched what was lost what we needed from the government was that okay you
00:11:49want to relocate us okay where we are coming
00:11:53from we have our share we have our
00:11:56waterfronts, we have our offices, and all these
00:12:00things have been provided by the government, those that want to move,
00:12:03moved, not everybody want a
00:12:06change, lot of people believe that, at this point can
00:12:10i change, so something come, new ones
00:12:14joined, like before we burn our saw dust, and you burning saw
00:12:17dust near the turn breed is not healthy for the environment
00:12:21itself, so that okay, we need to we need to move to new place and
00:12:25that provided me with what i want, so what do i need to go back there again?
00:12:29today, boats carry their livelihoods,
00:12:32log, choose, people rewriting how
00:12:35business is done, but the story
00:12:39doesn't end with the samilers, another relocation
00:12:43is on the
00:12:44horizon,
00:12:51maoko, shogoro, okuakpọ,
00:12:55communities built on water now face displacement
00:12:59again, the legos government and the state
00:13:02assembly agree on one thing, those living on these
00:13:06waterfronts must move, but beyond this
00:13:09decision, questions
00:13:11remain, the
00:13:14directive of Mr. Governor, we are working
00:13:16together, ni
00:13:20wokan mo for now, titi ti ma fi agree pẹlu awọn community,
00:13:24however
00:13:39It is from the executive, we are just there to say
00:13:42they should demolition until further directly from they have
00:13:46complied recommended 100 houses for them making 300 houses for
00:13:50100 forako, 100 for shokunro and 100 for making
00:13:53300 houses. government should relocate the remaining people of
00:13:57makoko, shogruro and communities to the low
00:14:01cost housing estage, which will be built for them at agbowa
00:14:04ẹkorodu. Agbowa is under
00:14:08ẹ. So, please let's know that. Gẹgẹ bi se

00:15:00We are now see that the vision that are come is a greater
00:15:04vision, how we corporate, we work together, because
00:15:07nobody wanted to leave a nonsense
00:15:11life, we wanted to live a greater life like
00:15:14those who are living the duples,
00:15:18whatever, we too we need, okay, reason of our
00:15:22occupation, that's why we are water. For
00:15:26months, voices resisted, now they ask for
00:15:29something simpler, fairness. Many families
00:15:33are still without shelter, sleeping in canos of
00:15:37rajar wooden structures: where is
00:15:41the place he want to
00:15:44locate our people for, where is the

00:17:58occupation is fisin. Well, the residents say
00:18:02they have kept the sanctity the water for many years
00:18:06and they say. exactly open to having people build
00:18:09their houses on water, not everyone is
00:18:13ready, there are affairs of overcrowding,
00:18:16pollution and losing what makes this place
00:18:19home.

00:19:27The question remains, what part of agbowa will be dressed out for
00:19:31them, and will history once again make this town
00:19:35refuge or something else entirely?
00:19:38Concerns over education, healthcare,
00:19:42security and cultural identity brought me
00:19:45back second time,
00:19:49this time to the palace
00:19:51of
00:19:55kingdom, it says the doors are
00:19:58open, very peaceful community, no doubt about
00:20:01that, and we welcome
00:20:05people from all works of lives. you know, whether you are
00:20:09indigen or non-indigen, you are welcome to
00:20:13Agwasi, because - we cannot do it alone,
00:20:17we need all hands to be on deck, and that is why we are looking
00:20:20forward to receiving the people from Makoko,
00:20:24you know, to come here, settle down here and be doing their business,
00:20:28and now I can assure them that their business will thrive here
00:20:31agwasi, because we have waterfront, and that is
00:20:35what they need essentially for. their business or
00:20:39businesses if you like, and the local government
00:20:42agrees, more infrastructural facilities are coming up, we
00:20:46have okobabatimba village here, and I know some them...
00:20:50even though they are fishermen they are very they work par when they were
00:20:54at makoko to so they are coming here they are coming to
00:20:58do their business and nobody will harass them nobody will harass
00:21:02them when they come and work here so security
00:21:06wise we don't we don't i said they are coming
00:21:10because i know they are coming some of they are coming
00:21:13with some them who
00:21:16are who are not responsible
00:21:20so let me not use criminal, but the we have
00:21:23security that are in place are ready
00:21:27to combat any criminality that will be coming
00:21:30along with them, this is on grand just like legos, security
00:21:34officials speaking off camera, describe a system they
00:21:38say is solid, familiar, reliable,
00:21:42even as the population
00:21:43shifts,
00:21:47this is agowa secondary school, Here continuity
00:21:51becomes possible, a chance to stay in one place long
00:21:55enough to learn, to grow and to keep up with an education
00:21:59system that is constantly evolving, compared to
00:22:03the challenges of learning on water where movement,
00:22:07weather and access often interrupt the school
00:22:10day, schooling in agowa offers something more
00:22:14stable, opposite the
00:22:17school stands the agowa primary health. center,
00:22:21quiet, modest, but essential,
00:22:24commissioned by Wali Anomon, the LCDA chairman, the
00:22:28closest to the water side and lifeline for the
00:22:31community. Inside, the pharmacist on
00:22:35duty speaks with calm assurance, the facility may not
00:22:39see overwhelming crowds, but
00:22:41it is equipped to care for those who walk through its
00:22:44doors. Here life begins and is
00:22:48sustained. They do come. Okay, they do
00:22:51come, especially on Tuesday, Wednesday like this,
00:22:55that's is is the immunization, so for
00:22:58pregnancy, women and children,
00:23:02problem we are having with them is, in some cases, if
00:23:06they come like that to get drugs, we always like advise
00:23:10them, like preach to them before they get the drug, and
00:23:14most cases that disease is common is
00:23:17common there due to the... beside
00:23:20water,
00:23:22like i times um dia, cf,
00:23:26katar, sometimes malaria, sometimes severe
00:23:30malaria at times, so it's common
00:23:33there, and for them to come outside, we have difficulties with
00:23:37them, as dusk settled, decided to
00:23:41spend the night in agoa no, not just to observe, but to
00:23:45better understand how the town functions beyond the
00:23:48daytime, when r are less structured,
00:23:52there's no fair, sharp remains open into the late
00:23:56hours, groups of young people laughing,
00:23:59gathering, talking and enjoying their evening like
00:24:03any other community. agowa
00:24:07and its surrounding areas exist within a broader
00:24:10coastal and riverine ecosystem, and with
00:24:14proper planning, infrastructure can be developed to support
00:24:17fishing and related economy. activities, the
00:24:21question is not whether alternatives exist, but whether there
00:24:25is sufficient willingness from all stakeholders to
00:24:28explore and refine them
00:24:31collaboratively. for now, agowa
00:24:35stands at cross roads a town wants defined by
00:24:38refuge, now learning again how to receive
00:24:41those with nowhere else to go, but this
00:24:45time at what
