Pa Clark's: Egbema kingdom Pay Condolences visit to Ngbeilebiri kingdom,

......, Says Remains of Pa Clark Brief Stopover at Warri Residents Before Kiagbodo town, 

By EgbemaVoice,

The Egbema Kingdom, under the leadership of Chief Andrew Gorroh, has extended condolences to the Ngbelebiri Kingdom and the family of the late Pa Dr. Sen. (Chief) Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, following his demise on February 17, 2025. The visit was a heartfelt gesture to honor the elder statesman, his family in Kiagbodo town, the Ngbelebiri Kingdom, and the broader Ijaw nation.
Speaking on behalf of the Egbema Kingdom, Chief David Reje highlighted Pa Edwin Clark's extraordinary life as a hero and nationalist. He described Clark as a tireless advocate for justice, resource control, and the equitable treatment of the Niger Delta people. The late Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) leader's relentless fight against oppression and marginalization stands as a legacy of his selfless commitment to the Niger Delta and the Ijaw people.

Chief Reje also recounted significant milestones in Pa Clark's advocacy. These included his efforts to train Niger Delta youths during the reign of the late King His Royal majesty Agadagba of Egbema kingdom Pere Isaac A. Thikan, his support for the NDDC and South-South Assembly, and his role in campaigning for the former president Dr. Goodluck Ebele  Jonathan's ascension to the vice presidency. He reminded all of Clark’s bold address to Olusegun Obasanjo, where he drew parallels between South African apartheid and the exploitation of the Ijaw people’s resources, calling for justice and equity.

Egbema Kingdom acknowledged Pa Clark’s instrumental role in the development of the Niger Delta and his unyielding stand for fairness, even in challenging circumstances. His legacy includes the historic victory for the Egbema Ijaw people, which led to the emergence of an Ijaw chairman in Warri North Local Government Area.

As part of their tribute, Chief Reje appealed to the Ngbelebiri Kingdom to allow Pa Clark’s remains to pass through Warri, a significant Ijaw territory, as a final honor to his lifelong dedication to the people of the Niger Delta.

The Egbema Kingdom deeply mourns the loss of this remarkable leader, whose contributions will forever inspire generations to pursue justice, equity, and development for the Niger Delta region.

Niger Delta Resource Struggle: A Historic Debt to Our Fallen Heroes and Living Defenders,___ Mingo

By
Niger Delta Resource Struggle: A Historic Debt to Our Fallen Heroes and Living Defenders,___ Mingo  By EgbemaVoice, Niger Delta Youth leader Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka has declared that, Niger Delta struggle for resource control, environmental justice, and true federalism in the Niger Delta did not emerge by chance, nor was it gifted by the Nigerian state. It was forced into national consciousness through decades of sacrifice, resistance, intellectual courage, and physical struggle by the sons and daughters of the Niger Delta. At the forefront of this historic movement were late Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark (CON) of Kiagbodo, a towering voice of conscience; late His Royal Majesty Isaac A. Thikan, a custodian of tradition and defender of ancestral rights; and many other departed heroes whose names may not always appear in headlines but whose blood, sweat, and sacrifices shaped the destiny of the region. These leaders spoke truth to power at great personal cost, c...

EDITORIAL: Why Chief James Nengi Is the Only Sensible Choice for INC 2026___ Mingo

By
EDITORIAL: Why Chief James Nengi Is the Only Sensible Choice for INC 2026 By Mingo Friday Sayami Ogumaka Niger Delta Youth Leader By EgbemaVoice, As the Ijaw National Congress (INC) moves steadily toward its 2026 leadership transition, the responsibility before delegates, elders, and stakeholders is profound. This is not a season for experiments, sentiments, or sectional calculations. It is a moment that demands tested leadership, deep institutional knowledge, and unwavering commitment to the Ijaw cause. In this context, one name stands tall and unambiguous  Chief James Nengi. Chief James Nengi is currently the Second Vice President (Vice President II) of the Ijaw National Congress, a position that places him at the heart of INC’s decision-making architecture. His present role is not ceremonial; it is strategic. It has afforded him firsthand experience in managing the affairs, challenges, and expectations of the apex Ijaw organization. Leadership succession, if it must ...

Edegbene Community Affirms King-Designate Eric Wareboroeyegha, Rejects Commercialization of Traditional Institutions By EgbemaVoice  The Edegbene community has been thrown into heightened alert and firm resolve following the historic arrival and formal declaration of interest by King-Designate Mr. Eric Wareboroeyegha in the ongoing traditional succession process of the Seimbiri Kingdom. We state categorically that traditional institutions, sacred symbols, and royal tools are not for sale. They are divine inheritances, deeply rooted in the gods and ancestral spirits of the land, and must never be subjected to financial manipulation or external influence. Any attempt to commercialize the sacred Seimbiri stool is a direct affront to our ancestral values, cultural ethics, and collective identity as a people. The Seimbiri Clan remains one of the most ancient, revered, and structured traditional institutions in Western Ijaw history. Its kingship process is guided ...

Tantita Surveillance Contract Is Not Common Wealth, Niger Delta Must Appreciate Company – IPF

By
By EgbemaVoice, The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum (IPF) has come out strongly in defence of Tantita Security Services Limited, insisting that the pipeline surveillance contract awarded to the company is not a “common wealth” and should not be misrepresented as such by critics. In a statement signed by its National President, Comrade Ozobo Austin, and Spokesman, Comrade Ezekiel Kagbala, the forum said the Niger Delta should be expressing gratitude to Tantita and its leadership for restoring sanity to crude oil production and protecting national assets in the region. IPF stressed that while the 13 per cent derivation fund rightly qualifies as common wealth meant for oil-producing communities, the surveillance contract given to Tantita is a professional engagement based on capacity and performance, just like similar contracts handled by different individuals in the region in the past. "The 13 percent derivation is meant for the entire Niger Delta region especially the oil produc...
