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.

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 ...
