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.

By
By Egbemavoice, The Egbema Focus Group has expressed deep satisfaction with the outcome of the recent Warri electoral ward delineation exercise, praising the courageous efforts of Ijaw and Urhobo leaders who championed the call for justice and equity. The group also urged all ethnic nationalities in the Warri axis to remain calm and united as the region moves forward in peace and development. The fresh delineation exercise, conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), was ordered by the Supreme Court after decades of agitation by the Ijaw and Urhobo communities. These ethnic groups have long decried the systemic underrepresentation they faced in local governance structures despite being indigenous stakeholders in the Warri North, Warri South, and Warri South-West Local Government Areas of Delta South Senatorial District. According to Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami, the National Coordinator of the Egbema Focus Group, the injustice against the Egbema peopl...

They also voiced strong opposition to any perceived misuse of the Federal Government’s pipeline surveillance contract awarded to High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo. “We will not allow Tompolo to use his surveillance contract to suppress or threaten our community,” one of the protesters warned.

By
EGBEMA FOCUS GROUP CONDEMNS ATTACK ON IJAW YOUTH ABEKI IN WARRI By Egbemavoice, The Egbema Focus Group (EFG) strongly condemns the recent brutal attack on Mr. Abeki, a young Ijaw man and tricycle rider, as well as the gun assault on the Olabrakeopre Ijaw Warri Urban Community. These incidents, reportedly carried out by allegedly irate Itsekiri youths along Odion Road in Warri, Delta State, represent a reprehensible act of violence that threatens not only the safety and dignity of the victims but also the peace and unity of our region. According to eyewitness accounts, Mr. Abeki was assaulted without provocation in what appears to be a targeted act against members of the Ijaw and Urhobo ethnic groups. We are deeply concerned by the growing reports of intimidation and violence targeting Ijaw people in Warri—particularly the youth—who have long contributed to the growth and stability of the Niger Delta. The EFG calls on security agencies to immediately launch a thorough invest...

INEC Ward Delineation: Okere-Urhobo Kingdom Breaks Silence, Disowns Opuoru-Led Press Conference,

By
By EgbemaVoice, Prominent traditional chiefs, youth leaders, and stakeholders of Okere-Urhobo Kingdom in Warri have openly disassociated themselves from a press conference held on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, describing it as unauthorized and lacking the blessing of the kingdom’s traditional institution. The controversial briefing followed the ward delineation recommended for Warri Federal Constituency by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The purported press conference, which took place in Warri, was led by Hon. Matthew Poko Opuoru, a former member of the Delta State House of Assembly and the current Special Adviser on Environment to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. Delineation refers to the process of dividing or mapping out geographical areas into constituencies, wards, or polling units for electoral purposes.

Delta Riverine school Suffered Neglect: Students Forced to Take Exams on Bare Floor,

By
Delta Riverine school Suffered Neglect: Students Forced to Take Exams on Bare Floor, By EgbemaVoice, At Enekorogha Grammar School in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria-an oil-rich state known for federal wealth-the condition education paints a deeply disturbing picture.  Students at school secondary school were recently captured writing their second-term exams while seated on the bare floor. Some leaned against broken concrete blocks-no desks, no chairs, and no proper classrooms in sight. Teachers also struggle without offices or basic teaching tools, working unde appalling conditions.  Founded in the early 1980s, the school has barely received any attention from the government since it's establishment. Instead of being maintained or upgraded, most of its current structures were either community-built or donated by concerned individuals. The school lacks perimeter fencing, which leaves students and teachers vulnerable, while reptiles roam freely a...
