Nigeria’s Christian Genocide: A Call for Justice and National Reawakening__ EgbemaVoice Editorial Board,

Nigeria’s Christian Genocide: A Call for Justice and National Reawakening By EgbemaVoice Editorial Board Nigeria’s Christian communities have, for decades, endured unimaginable suffering in the hands of violent extremists and armed bandits, particularly in the northern regions the North East and the Middle Belt. Thousands of innocent citizens have been killed, churches burned, and priests, pastors, and missionaries brutally murdered in cold blood. The persistent attacks by extremist groups have left many communities in ruins. Villages once filled with life and worship now stand deserted, while many families continue to grieve their loved ones. Those who set out to spread the gospel have been ambushed, stoned, or burned alive. These tragedies reflect the painful reality of a country where the sanctity of human life is fast losing meaning. It is deeply troubling that successive governments have failed to deliver justice. In several cases, perpetrators are neither prosecuted n...

Niger Delta Highlife King Barrister S. Smooth Congratulates Governor Douye Diri on Defection to APC

Congratulations to Our Amiable Governor Sen Douye Diri! Published by EgbemaVoice, Once again, let me congratulate our amiable Governor, Chief Senator Douye Diri, on his new decision to align with the All Progressives Congress (APC). To me, this is a wise and timely move. After all, politics is about bringing development, not just pursuing selfish interests, but prioritizing the welfare and progress of the people. This strategic realignment is a testament to Governor Diri's commitment to the growth and prosperity of Bayelsa State and its people. By joining forces with the APC, Governor Diri is poised to tap into the party's resources and networks, potentially unlocking new opportunities for development and progress in the state. His leadership and vision will undoubtedly continue to shape the future of Bayelsa State. But beyond that, I must equally add to your understanding that by joining the new party APC, you are equally giving a more tasking job to he...

The Untold Day U.S. Soldiers Rescued a Kidnapped American in Nigeria — A Warning Against Ignoring U.S. Threats

The Day US Soldiers Rescued Kidnapped American Citizen In Nigeria  By EgbemaVoice, It's funny how some people are even saying that Donald Trump cannot just enter Nigeria. Probably, they can't remember what happened in 2024 when US Army entered Northern Nigeria and rescued an American Citizen without anybody knowing about it. The American man identified as Philip Walton spent less than a week in the hands of bandits in the North. Walton was abducted early Tuesday morning from his farm in Massalata in southern Niger by kidnappers who demanded a ransom from the man's father. The same week, a US joint special operations force moved in Nigeria, just across the border, to rescue the American. " They went in with a large group, zero casualties. We've got our American citizen, young man, we got our young man back", US President Donald Trump said, as election day. According to report, the security agencies in Nigeria didn't even know about the operatio...

Trump says he’s ordered Pentagon to ‘prepare for possible action’ in Nigeria

, President Donald Trump speaks to ... US President Donald Trump said Saturday he has ordered the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria as he continues to accuse the nation of not doing enough to stem violence against Christians — an accusation Nigeria has repeatedly denied. In a social media post criticizing what he called the “mass slaughter” of Christians in the country, Trump  wrote  the United States would “immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria” and warned the government there to “move fast.” In the lengthy message, Trump said the US “may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.” Both Christians and Muslims have been victims of attacks by radical Islamists in the country of more than 230 million people. The violence in the country is driven by varying factors: some incidents are religiously motivated and affect bot...

BREAKING! U.S Preparing Invasion Of Mexico To Fight Cartels & Drug Lords,

By EgbemaVoice   The Trump administration has begun detailed planning for a new mission to send American troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels, according to two U.S. officials and two former senior U.S. officials familiar with the effort.

US Defends Soyinka’s Visa Revocation, Says Visa Issuance Is a Privilege, Not a Right By EgbemaVoice, The United States government has defended its decision to revoke the visa of Nigeria’s Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, emphasizing that the granting of a visa to any foreign national is a privilege extended by the U.S. government — not a right.

We will not discuss ...
