By Egbemavoice, Yesterday, Friday, April 4th, 2025 a boat carrying passengers from Bille Kingdom to Port Harcourt was hijacked by sea pirates. As I write this, their whereabouts remain unknown, and families are in deep anguish, praying for a miracle. There are growing concerns that this attack may be linked to the armed men allegedly stationed along the New Calabar River by Asari Dokubo. If true, this raises even more urgent questions about the safety of our people and who controls our waterways. I call on the government, security agencies, and relevant authorities to act now. Issue a statement. Launch an investigation. Bring our people home. To the media and the public—don’t stay silent. Help us amplify this. The lives of innocent people depend on it. Bille Voice

By EgbemaVoice, The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has affirmed the Ijaws of Egbema and Gbaramatu kingdoms as the most populous ethnic groups within Warri North and Warri South-West Local Government Areas (LGAs), following a review of ward delineation in the Warri Federal Constituency. The exercise followed a protracted legal process instituted by the Ijaws over pseudo and non-existent wards manipulated by the Itsekiris to gain undue political advantage in the three Warri LGAs. The Supreme Court verdict compelled INEC to undertake a fresh ward delineation exercise in the Warri Federal Constituency to reflect reality on the ground. In compliance with the court ruling, INEC conducted a fresh ward delineation exercise that validates Ijaw population dominance in the LGAs.  This result has serious implications for who becomes the next LGA chairman, especially in Warri North, where the Itsekiri had manipulated all appointive and elective positions to the det...
