ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: Edo State Belongs to All Ethnic Nationalities, Not One Tribe—No King Is the Governor of Edo State,

By
By Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka (KingdomVoice), Niger Delta Youth Leader Recent comments by some Bini ethnic advocates referring to the Ijaw people of Edo State as "tenants" are provocative, misleading, and capable of undermining the peaceful coexistence among the diverse ethnic nationalities in Edo State. Such statements should be rejected by all who value truth, justice, and unity. The Ijaw people are one of the indigenous ethnic nationalities of present-day Edo State. Historical records and oral traditions indicate that Ijaw settlements existed in the riverine areas of what is now Edo State long before the modern Nigerian state was created. Like other indigenous communities, the Ijaw have their own traditional institutions, cultural heritage, ancestral lands, and recognized kings. No ethnic group has the moral or legal authority to describe another indigenous people as "tenants" in their ancestral homeland. Edo State is a multi-ethnic state co...

Niger Delta Youth Leader Demands Constitutional Justice and Equal Rights for All Ethnic Nationalities in Edo State, Accuses Governor, Government,

By
By Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka Niger Delta Youth Leader The continued complaints by several indigenous ethnic nationalities in Edo State over issues relating to traditional administration, political representation and cultural identity deserve urgent attention from both the Edo State Government and the Federal Government of Nigeria. For decades, many minority ethnic nationalities, particularly the Ijaw people in Edo South Senatorial District, have expressed concerns over what they describe as political marginalization, unequal treatment and attempts to impose traditional structures that they believe are inconsistent with their history, customs and identity. It is alleged that successive administrations in Edo State have, through government policies and recognition processes, favoured one ethnic nationality above others, thereby creating an atmosphere of inequality and deepening ethnic tension. These concerns have repeatedly been raised by affected communities, who ...

Delta Investment Summit: Aniagwu Urges Local Businesses To Drive Investment

By
By EgbemaVoice  Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, has urged members of the organised private sector to move beyond discussions and presentations at the forthcoming Delta State Investment and Economic Summit and become active investors in the state’s economy.
