Mingo Mourns: Aunty Jipamotei Jeibor Mumbor's Passing Leaves a Void, Death Separates You,



By EgbemaVoice,

Niger Delta youth leader Comrade Mingo Meshach Saya has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of his beloved aunt, Mrs. Jipamotei Jeibor Mumbor, who died on the 28th of September in India. Describing the news as painful and heartbreaking, Saya mourned the loss of his aunt, highlighting the significant impact her passing has had on him and the family.

According to the Mingo, The death of a young lady is always a heartbreaking event, not only for her immediate family but also for the entire Ajakurama community. Such a loss leaves a deep void, as young women often symbolize hope, potential, and the future of their families and society.  The grief felt by her loved ones resonates throughout the community, uniting them in mourning and reminding everyone of the fragility of life.
He stressing further that, the death of Aunty Jipamotei has deeply stirred emotions, bringing back painful memories of her late father the first council of Ofunama Ward, Late Hon. Koko Mumbor who contracted Egbema road, Ikorogha to Ajakurama and her uncle, who also passed away just a few months ago this year. The series of losses within such a short time has compounded the grief for the family, making this period particularly difficult. These back-to-back tragedies are a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the irreplaceable bond shared within families of Mumbor and Kpilibor Egbema and Arogbo Ijaw Ibe, 
Comrade Mingo wept for the loss of his beloved aunt, Jipamotei Jeibor Mumbor, indeed lost to Ajakurama and Ogbinbiri Egbema kingdom, Edo and Delta states, describing her as a pillar of strength for the family. Her passing has left a profound emptiness, as she played a vital role in keeping the family united and supported. Mingo's grief is a reflection of the deep love and respect he had for her, acknowledging the irreplaceable void her death has created in their lives.

Comrade Meshach Saya expressed his deep sorrow, stating that although he didn’t have the opportunity to live in the same area as his aunt, it was her late father’s brother who brought them together during a family burial in Ajakurama town. Now, facing her own passing, he described the situation as unbearable, acknowledging how her death has thrown the family into profound grief. The loss is even more painful as it follows the recent tragedies that have shaken the family, making it a heavy burden to bear, he stated,

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: Edo State Belongs to All Ethnic Nationalities, Not One Tribe—No King Is the Governor of Edo State,

By Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka (KingdomVoice), Niger Delta Youth Leader Recent comments by some Bini ethnic advocates referring to the Ijaw people of Edo State as "tenants" are provocative, misleading, and capable of undermining the peaceful coexistence among the diverse ethnic nationalities in Edo State. Such statements should be rejected by all who value truth, justice, and unity. The Ijaw people are one of the indigenous ethnic nationalities of present-day Edo State. Historical records and oral traditions indicate that Ijaw settlements existed in the riverine areas of what is now Edo State long before the modern Nigerian state was created. Like other indigenous communities, the Ijaw have their own traditional institutions, cultural heritage, ancestral lands, and recognized kings. No ethnic group has the moral or legal authority to describe another indigenous people as "tenants" in their ancestral homeland. Edo State is a multi-ethnic state co...

It is alleged that successive administrations in Edo State have, through government policies and recognition processes, favoured one ethnic nationality above others, thereby creating an atmosphere of inequality and deepening ethnic tension. These concerns have repeatedly been raised by affected communities, who ...
