Who the cap fits let him wear it, and who God has blessed no man can curse. Cursory look at the events that led to the emergence of the Agadagba only reminds one of the saying that great men are made, while great kings are born. It also conforms to the age long belief that power only comes from God, and that He gives to whomever He wishes and not necessarily to the most lettered, wealthy, physically endowed, and or spiritually fortified. From the foregoing, it is believed that Amb. Ubabiri E. Meshach, is God's choice as he's wholeheartedly accepted by the people of Egbema kingdom. Born into the family of Elder Pa Ubabiri in Ogbudugbudu community of Egbema Clan in Delta State. Amb. Ubabiri E. Meshach, no doubt is a destiny child as family members and community folks defied the rains and shine to congregate at pa Ubabiri's compound to give him a rousing welcome into this eventful world of twists and turns some few decades ago. Beginning his march to greatness and search for k...

Just as the waves roll and hasten to shore, that is exactly how prosperity is racing to Niger Deltans. The recent pipeline surveillance contract that was awarded to one of Niger Delta foremost Resources Control and Self Determination Crusaders, Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, aka General Tompolo G.O.C that elicited commendations from all quarters is already yielding the desired fruits as crude oil production has drastically increased and the dividends felt by the people as a result of the huge employment opportunity provided for the army of unemployed youths of the region. No doubt, it was never a mistake but a well conceived idea by the federal government of Nigeria under the leadership of president Muhammadu Buhahi, (GCFR) to at this critical time of our nation's history wrest this huge responsibility of securing the vast expanse of pipeline in the Niger Delta on the shoulders of the Ibe-Ebidouwei1 of the Niger Delta whose security expertise is second to none in the region and Ni...

Ordinarily, one would have dismissed the directive to windup the presidential amnesty programme with the wave of the hand, but for the grave consequences, we are constrained to react. As a watchdog of the society, we owe Niger Deltans a voice, even if it is in the wilderness, we will keep shouting. We see the call for the winding down of this interventionist security programme from President Muhammadu Buhari, the number one citizen of the country who naturally should be a bastion of the society as an affront on the people of the Niger Delta and a calculative and deliberate effort to invoke and or resurrect the devil of violence and restiveness from the grave in the region. This call at a time the region is plagued with this flood of unimaginable catastrophe is not only vexatious and unwarranted, it is a booby trap for the next administration considering the fact that it has barely 7 months to the expiration of its inglorious tenure. Rather than swift response in providing relief materi...

It is cheering and heartwarming news that the Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari,  thought it wise and expedient to award such a strategic security job to a worthy son of the Niger Delta Region in no lesser personality than High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, aka General Tompolo GOC. No doubt, this noble gesture from the Nigerian government will to a large extent placate the heightening agitation and bring peace and development to the Niger Delta Region. Like the saying, he who the cap fits, let him wear it. In this era of the Niger Delta struggle, there can be no better shoulder than General Tompolo's to rest this huge responsibility of securing the nation's critical infrastructure considering his vast experience in security matters coupled with his ethnic and regional network. Who says commitment and patriotism doesn't pay, we shall point you to the Ibe- Ebidouwei 1 of the Niger Delta. The Oporoza born Niger Delta Liber...

Death as it is known is an inevitable end of all mortals and a debt all men must pay. This assertion needs no further evidence to be true because even the Biblical Methuselah once succumbed to it. However, what is most important in one's life journey on the planet earth is not necessarily its longevity, but the quality with which it is spent. No doubt, death has dealt a heavy blow and left a devastating toll on the Umukoros, Eroune community, and the entire Okpe Clan in Delta State. Born a century ago into the family of Itemisan, in the Eroune community in Okpe Clan of Delta State, HRH Richard Umukoro Itemisan, began his elementary educational journey at the then community missionary school where he obtained the mandatory certification. However, not satisfied with the level of education coupled with his desire for a more healthy society, he delved into classical traditional medicine at his youthful age and became a master in the field. HRH Richard Umukoro Itemisan, was extraordinar...

Nigeria's National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) said internal trafficking is on the rise. There was a much higher rate of internal trafficking than external trafficking, according to the agency. A meeting with stakeholders and partners in Edo was held by the Director-General, Fatima Waziri-Azi on Thursday in Benin. According to the DG, 83 percent of trafficking occurs within states and communities, while 12 percent occurs across borders. "Due to the media spotlight on people in Italy, we think we have more trans-border trafficking.". I don't. In front of our eyes, internal trafficking is taking place. She told NAN that domestic servitude and forced labor are crises in Nigeria. The official declared human trafficking a national crisis that affects every state. Waziri-Azi added that it is now done online via fake jobs advertorials and fake scholarships. She said traffickers lure their victims with offers, with Dubai, India, and Cyprus as...
