BREAKING: PRESS STATEMENT BY THE IJAW NATIONAL CONGRESS (INC) ON THE DEEPENING POLITICAL CRISIS AND IMPEACHMENT THREAT IN RIVERS STATE January 9, 2026 | Yenagoa, Nigeria 1. The Ijaw National Congress (INC), the apex socio-cultural organization of the Ijaw nation worldwide, issues this urgent statement in response to the resumption of impeachment proceedings by the Rivers State House of Assembly against the democratically elected Governor, His Excellency Sir Siminalayi Fubara, and his Deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu. 2.

Niger Delta Creeks Ablaze as Wilfred Okpoye Blasts Omoko, Tompolo, Kestin Pondi in New Album,

Niger Delta Creeks Ablaze as Wilfred Okpoye Blasts Omoko, Tompolo, Kestin Pondi in New Album, By EgbemaVoice, The Niger Delta music scene is currently witnessing massive excitement as renowned Niger Delta musician Wilfred Okpoye releases a powerful new album that is fast trending across the region and beyond. In the spiritually charged album, Okpoye passionately calls on God to “drop Bede-Egburu Pamobo Ijaw Ibe Teri”, interpreted as a divine plea for God to provide a wrapper to cover and protect the entire Ijaw Nation. The lyrics strongly reflect themes of unity, divine protection, liberation, and cultural pride. The artist draws deep biblical parallels, declaring that Government Oweizide Ekpomupolo (Tompolo) and Hon. Emmanuel Omoko (popularly known as Alhaji Omoko) are divinely sent, likening their roles to Moses being sent by God to deliver the Israelites from bondage. Wilfred Okpoye uses the album to laud and celebrate prominent Niger Delta leaders, including: High Chief...

The history of Egbema kingdom -A true IZON (Ijaw) kingdom

Polobubo Community Development The History Of Egbema Kingdom – A True Izon (Ijaw) Kingdom polobubocommunity 4 years ago The ancient Kingdom of Egbema is politically split into the present day Edo and Delta States of Nigeria. Egbema Kingdom is bounded on the north by the Olodiama of Edo State and the Itsekiri of Delta State, west by the Arogbo Kingdom of Ondo State, east by Gbaramatu Kingdom and the Itsekiri of Delta State and South by the Ilaje of Ondo State and the Atlantic Ocean. The Egbema people are the most likely Ijo sub-group to which the allegation of Ijo piracy on the Benin River could have made. The only other sub-group with access to the Benin River are the Gbaramatu. Egbema traditions, in fact, give indirect evidence of their predatory activities in the region of the Benin River. While they refer to the Oba of Benin as Ugbo Pere (lord of the Lands), the priest king of Egbema was Bini Pere (lord of Waters). Apart from cultural and other relations with other Ijo grou...
