So much has been written about Alhaji Ibrahim Siaka Duche Dusak but not so much was known about him, indeed the man that we are celebrating his golden year today at fifty years (50) was born on the 10th January, 1970 to the family of Mallam Siaka Omaja Akagwu of Offuloko Area Anyigba Kogi State. Until his death Pa Siaka Omaja was the Gago Offuloko, the position he ascertained due to his boldness and frankness to issues in respective of the personality involved, he was an embodiment of Igala history, may Allah forgive his shortcomings and reserved a place for him in Aljanatul Firdous.

All his hope and aspirations to acquire further education was to no avail due to some financial challenges that characterized the entire Anyigba community then. Alhaji Duche as a young man who was raised from a humble and principled background has passed through a lot of difficulties, yet he overcame many of these challenges and that made him to be part of every struggle for the emancipation of humanity.
He started self hustling from pushing of wheel barrows in the Market to shoe shining and later to the sales of Sugarcane for self reliance. These menial jobs keep him going until he started loading and offloading of grains at the various Market in Kogi East.
