The group said, While the Israelites were driven from their homeland by persecution, Egbema of today are driven by the hope of a better life. Like the Israelites, they defy the elements and brave the unknown, seeking a Promised Land of their own. But this land is not Canaan; it is the rest of the world.
From Edo, Delta, Ondo, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom states in Niger Delta, Eastern part of the country to the western Nigeria and even Africa, Egbema have spread their wings and taken flight, searching for opportunities and a better life for themselves and their families.
They are a people of courage and resilience, persevering through hardship and holding fast to their dreams. They defy the weather conditions of their various places of refuge; whether freezing, snowy or scorching, Egbema man endure, focusing on how to earn their daily bread or to get higher certificates.
As a people, Egbema indigenes in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Imo states, possess the vigour to devour the rigour of challenges confronting them anywhere they find themselves.
