YOUR OBA IS NOT AN OVERLORD IN EDO STATE, IT IS TIME Y'ALL TAKE YOUR OVERLOADSHIP NARRATIVES TO THE BIN.  People seem to think we are still living in 1978, when a handful of powerful individuals could manipulate the system, appoint their own judges, manufacture narratives, and expect everyone else to accept them as unquestionable truth. This is 2026. People are more educated, more informed, and far more aware of how power has often been used to deny justice rather than uphold it. Nigerians today understand that those entrusted with protecting justice have, at times, been the very ones responsible for injustice. Take the Gelegele issue, for example. How does a Benin person claim ownership of Gelegele while simultaneously insisting it is "Ughoton"? If Gelegele is truly a Benin settlement, what exactly does "Gelegele" mean in the Edo language? And let us follow this argument to its logical conclusion. The Egbema people exist on both sides of the state boundary. Sta...

A HEARTFELT APPEAL TO THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE, POLICE MANAGEMENT TEAM, WOMEN LEADERS, AND ALL STAKEHOLDERS We, the affected female police officers of the Nigeria Police Force, respectfully and emotionally appeal for the reconsideration and suspension of the recent transfers that separate married women officers from their husbands and children. Our Tears Are Real Behind every female officer wearing the uniform is a wife, a mother, and a caregiver. While we proudly serve our nation, we also carry the sacred responsibility of raising children and sustaining the homes we have painstakingly built. Many of us wake up every morning looking into the innocent eyes of our children—some barely months,others three or five years old—and wonder who will care for them when we are transferred hundreds of kilometres away. Many of us cry silently at night, not because we are unwilling to serve, but because we are terrified of what may become of our homes and children in our absence. Our Husbands...

TOP LADIES OF OGBINBIRI HOLD SPECIAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE, CELEBRATE MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY OF ARCHBISHOP DR. GODWYNS SOROAYE, JP — EgbemaVoice Reporting

The issue of Gelegele and the Ijaws in present-day Edo State is often misunderstood. Historically, the Ijaw people did not migrate into Edo State after the state was created.  Rather, the creation of modern states and boundaries divided already existing Ijaw communities, leaving some within what is now Edo State. Here's the historical explanation in simple terms: The Ijaw people are one of the oldest indigenous groups in the Niger Delta, occupying territories stretching across present-day Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Ondo, Akwa Ibom and parts of Edo State. Long before Nigeria was divided into regions and states, Ijaw communities already existed around the Benin River, Gelegele, and adjoining riverine areas. During colonial administration, these areas were administered together under different provinces without regard to ethnic boundaries. When the Mid-Western Region was created in 1963, and later Bendel State in 1976, Ijaw communities in the Benin River axis became part of those adminis...

TO WHOM MUCH IS EXPECTED, MUCH IS GIVEN-Barr. Bei-Ugha Kurumah. The time honoured proverb that we all grew up to know is: 'To whom much is given, much is expected.' However, permit me to speak in the converse that 'To whom much is expected, much is given'. With all sense of humility to my beloved people of Egbema Kingdom (otherwise now proudly known, addressed and called Warri-North Constituency 2), my  revered chiefs, respected elders, leaders of thought, my very dear brothers and sisters, esteemed leaders of our great party, the APC, women, youths and, all stakeholders, ladies and gentlemen. I want to give God Almighty the glory today that we are now free from the political subjugation of the Itsekiri People,  and we now have an opportunity to send someone to the Delta State House of Assembly for the first time since the creation of Warri-North as a Local Government Area and since the creation of Delta as a state.  Those years are some of the darkest years...

By EgbemaVoice  The Ijaw Publishers Forum (IPF), Worldwide has called on the Ondo State Government to review the leadership of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC), citing what it described as inadequate developmental impact one year after the appointment of Chairman, Prince Biyi Poroye.

According to IPF, residents continue to face poor infrastructure, inadequate healthcare services, lack of potable water, shoreline erosion, environmental degradation, and limited economic opportunities. The Forum noted that while several projects have been announced and inspected, many communities are yet to witness sufficient completed projects with tangible benefits. The group u...

IJAW PUBLISHERS’ FORUM (IPF)
PRESS STATEMENT June 18, 2026 IPF TO SOUTH-SOUTH GOVERNORS: REVIVE BRACED COMMISSION NOW BEFORE INSECURITY OVERRUNS THE REGION The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum, IPF, calls on the governors of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo and Delta States to urgently reactivate and fully fund the BRACED Commission as a coordinated regional response to the rising wave of insecurity across Nigeria. Recent reports show that kidnapping, banditry and violent criminality are no longer confined to their former flashpoints. Reuters recently reported that kidnapping-for-ransom attacks have spread southward, including school abductions in Oyo State, while Nigeria’s parliament has advanced state police reforms due to the deepening national security crisis. The South-South governors must treat these developments as a serious warning. No responsible regional leadership should wait until bandits, kidnappers, terrorists and criminal cartels become entrenched before ac...

Security Is Now Closer to You, For many years, Opuama Town in Egbema Kingdom, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, faced significant security challenges due to its riverine location. Emergency responses often took hours because security personnel had to travel from distant locations such as Koko and Warri. Today, that narrative has changed. With the establishment and full operation of the Opuama Police Station, security personnel are now stationed within the community. This development ensures faster response to emergencies, theft, boat attacks, and other security concerns affecting residents. A Project Delivered Through Community Leadership The Opuama Police Station did not emerge by chance. The facility was built and furnished through the commitment, vision, and tireless efforts of a distinguished son of the community, Hon. Emmanuel Omoko (popularly known as Alhaji), with the support of Opuama community leadership. This achievement demonstrates what purposefu...

...Says ₦33.8 Billion Annual Allocation Has Yet to Translate into Tangible Development Across Oil-Producing Communities The Ondo People's Accountability Front (OPAF) , under the leadership of its President, Comrade Utanghan Education , has passed a vote of no confidence on the Chairman of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC), Prince Biyi Poroye , alleging that one year after assuming office, his administration has failed to commission any major development project across the Commission's mandate areas.
