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...

REPORT: Tinubu Allies Allegedly Move to Block Wike, Back Fubara’s 2nd Term Bid

By EgbemaVoice, Fresh political intrigue is unfolding in Rivers State as a new report claims that powerful figures close to President Bola Tinubu are allegedly working behind the scenes to frustrate FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s plan to block Governor Sim Fubara’s second-term ambition. According to the report, key figures including Works Minister Dave Umahi, NSA Nuhu Ribadu, and Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma are said to be quietly aligning with Fubara, seeing him as a counterweight to Wike’s growing influence. Sources allege that before his reinstatement after the six-month emergency rule in Rivers, Fubara entered a peace deal—brokered by Ribadu—with Wike and pro-Wike lawmakers. The deal reportedly required Fubara to complete one term only, allow Wike control of LG chairmen, and stay out of 2027 politics. However, after returning, Fubara allegedly began building his own power base, securing support from Umahi (a longtime Wike rival) and Uzodinma, who reportedly sees this as payba...
