Egbema kingdom Road: Comrade Ebi Omawumi Laments Deplorable Condition,

By EgbemaVoice,

Ajakurama, Edo State – The Youth Leader of Egbema Kingdom, Comrade Ebi Omawumi, has raised a passionate outcry over the worsening state of the Egbema Kingdom road in Ovia South-West Local Government Area of Edo State.
In a heartbreaking video clip circulated on social media, Comrade Ebi Omawumi decried the total neglect of the region’s major access road, stating that the lives of Edo State’s Ijaw people are in constant danger due to the inaccessibility of the road linking the kingdom to other parts of the state.
According to him, despite the Ijaw people of Edo State being an integral part of the state—actively participating in every electoral process and voting massively for successive administrations including the current Governor—they have been completely sidelined in terms of infrastructure and development.

We are part of Edo State. We vote in every election. Our people voted massively for the current Governor. What have we gained? Nothing. We deserve the dividends of democracy,” he lamented.

EgbemaVoice News gathered that the currently passable portion of the road was only made possible through a community self-help initiative to grade the road leading to Ajakurama—the traditional headquarters of Egbema Kingdom—as well as Ofunama and other surrounding communities.
Notably, the same road, known as the Udo-Ofunama Road, was reportedly awarded by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), but the project was abandoned. The construction company allegedly left equipment and materials at the site, which remain abandoned to this day.

Comrade Omawumi further revealed that just two days of rainfall are enough to render the road impassable, worsening the suffering of residents, especially those who are sick, pregnant women, and the elderly. He also highlighted the dire state of healthcare in the area, stating that the only primary health center available lacks a resident doctor and is grossly under-equipped.

Edo State Government must come to our rescue. Our lives are in danger. This is a call for urgent intervention before more lives are lost,” he cried out.

Egbema Kingdom, a major oil- and gas-producing area, hosts several multinational companies yet remains without basic road infrastructure, a situation the youth leader described as unjust and inhumane.

Again: Itsekiri Stakeholders Lose Warri Delineation Case, Court Orders ₦4 Million Payment,

By
By EgbemaVoice, The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed a suit instituted by some Itsekiri stakeholders aimed at halting the proposed delineation of electoral wards and polling units in the Warri Federal Constituency of Delta State. The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/443/2024, was filed by Hon. Appearance Afejuku and Mr. Emmanuel Nunu, Secretary of Warri South Local Government Area, against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In his judgment delivered by Justice Omotosho ruled that the suit was a gross abuse of court process and lacked merit. Consequently, the court struck out the case in its entirety and awarded a total cost of ₦4 million against the plaintiffs, payable with interest at 10% per annum until the judgment sum is fully settled.

From Oil Theft to Budget Padding: Commodore Dappa Exposes Ibas’ Long History of “Crude” Deals

By
By EgbemaVoice, Meet Commodore Promise Dappa, a decorated naval officer who gave the Nigerian Navy 32 years of unwavering service, only to be denied promotion three times. Why? According to him, it all boils down to one thing; he refused to play ball with oil thieves. Dappa, who once served as Maritime Guard Commander at NIMASA, claims his anti-oil theft crusade made powerful enemies, including then-Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas. And when Ibas took the helm in 2015, Dappa says his career was sunk—not for lack of merit, but because he refused to “cooperate” with the oily underbelly of the system. “I had one of the best records among my contemporaries,” Dappa said. “But Ibas made sure I was denied every privilege, while his protégés; two of whom were later indicted by the EFCC, got promoted after looting NIMASA dry.” The retired Commodore alleges that millions were forfeited by his successors, yet they still climbed the ranks under Ibas’ watch. Meanwhile, h...

Edo-Delta Egbema Political Space: Leadership Disputes Hindering Development, Youths Urged to Learn from the Past,

By
Egbema Kingdom Political Space: Leadership Misunderstanding Contributes to Underdevelopment in Edo and Delta States By Egbemavoice, Niger Delta youth leader, Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka, has exposed the root causes behind the underdevelopment of Egbema Kingdom, which straddles Edo and Delta states. He pointed to persistent leadership misunderstandings and the lingering effects of colonial-era divide-and-rule tactics. Comrade Mingo described Egbema as the most populous and one of the oldest Ijaw kingdoms in southern Nigeria—yet it has suffered decades of underdevelopment, neglect, deprivation, marginalization, and oppression by both the Edo and Delta state governments. He traced this back to tribal sentiments and biases harbored by successive state administrations. Egbema Kingdom’s plight began during the days of Bendel State, before its division into Edo and Delta states. The kingdom spans both states but is united under one traditional throne, with its headquarter...
