Christian Association of Nigeria ughelli North / South/ Udu walks away from Hon. Francis Ejiroghene Waive, after waited for 1 hour 30 minutes, 
By EgbemaVoice,

Hon. Francis Ejiroghene Waive, a Nigerian priest and politician representing Ughelli North, Ughelli South, and Udu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, recently faced an incident involving representatives of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) from the three regions.

According to reports from the CAN delegation reportedly walked away after waiting for Hon. Waive for an hour and 30 minutes during a meeting. Despite his attempts to apologize and plead with the pastors, they left, feeling provoked by the delay.

Hon. Waive, who founded the Church of the Anointing in Warri in 1997 and serves as Chairman of the Committee on Rules and Business in the House, has not publicly addressed the incident. It remains to be seen if further clarifications or resolutions will emerge from this development.

Edo Kingship Tussle: Niger Delta Youth Leader Condemns Oba of Benin’s Attempts to Control Other Ethnic Groups, Iganke,

By Egbemavoice, The Niger Delta Youth Leader has strongly condemned the actions of the Oba of Benin, calling them unethical, untraditional, and unconstitutional. The Oba’s alleged attempt to assert authority over other ethnic nationalities in Edo State, particularly the Ika people of Iganke Ndi Eze, is viewed as an abominable act, not only in the Niger Delta but in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Recently, the Oba of Benin reportedly ordered the people of Iganke Ndi Eze to submit to the authority of an Odiower under his leadership. However, the Ika people have no historical or cultural ties to the Bini tribe, aside from being part of the same state, Edo. This act is seen as an overreach of traditional authority and a violation of Nigeria’s constitutional provisions. In Nigeria, traditional rulers serve as custodians of their ethnic group’s culture and norms, but they do not hold constitutional powers. The country operates under a presidential system of government...
