BREAKING: Court Nullifies NDC Registration

A Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja, Kogi State, has set aside its earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a political party.

Justice Isah Dashen ruled that the earlier judgment was constitutionally defective because all necessary parties were not heard before the decision was reached.

The court upheld the application of the Peace Movement Party (PMP), holding that it was a necessary party in the suit. It further ordered that the status quo be restored pending the determination of the substantive case.

The judge also held that material facts were suppressed in obtaining the December 10, 2025 judgment and consequently directed that the substantive suit commence afresh with INEC, the Peace Movement Party and the Nigeria Democratic Congress participating as parties.

The ruling effectively returns the dispute over the registration of the NDC to the Federal High Court for a fresh hearing.

DOKUBO TO OKPEBHOLO: GIVE EDO IJAWS THEIR DUE

"We have historical documents dating back to 16th something, where it clearly states that Gelegele is an Ijaw settlement."

His Royal Majesty, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, Amayanabo of Torusarama-Piri, Elem Kalabari, has called on Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to give urgent attention to the condition of Ijaw communities in the state, declaring that the struggle for the rights, recognition and development of Ijaw people in Edo should become a major priority.

Speaking during the 2026 Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide National Electoral Committee Manifesto Presentation and Debate in Degema, Rivers State, Dokubo said the IYC was established as a platform for advocacy and the protection of Ijaw interests.

GbaramatuVoice reports that the respected Ijaw leader urged the organisation to remain committed to its founding ideals and continue championing issues affecting Ijaw communities across the country.

According to him, "Our next battleground is Edo State. This organization was not formed for pleasure, was not formed for this sort of thing. We did not form this organization for these fine-fine things."

Reflecting on the early struggles of Ijaw activism, Dokubo recalled the sacrifices made by pioneers of the movement in pursuit of justice, recognition and development for Ijaw communities.

"We were going to Arogbo for three days and eating raw corn, cassava, everything at Gbelebu. We ate everything, ripe and unripe, cooked and uncooked. All the water in Gbelebu, in the well, everything, we drank all," he said.

Dokubo appealed to Governor Monday Okpebholo and the Edo State Government to address concerns relating to the rights, recognition and welfare of Ijaw communities in the state, insisting that they deserve the same opportunities and consideration enjoyed by their counterparts in neighbouring states.

"We cannot continue to allow the Ijaws to continue in the condition they are, because government drew a line and said this is Delta, this is Ondo, this is Edo. The people of Ondo State have their right. The people of Delta have their right, but the people of Edo State cannot have their right," he stated.

Dokubo also questioned arguments surrounding the status of some Ijaw communities, particularly in relation to claims of settlement and indigeneity.

"Ofunama is a settlers. Opposite Ofunama is Delta State, they are not settlers. How can you get this sort of argument?" he queried.

The traditional ruler further referenced historical records which he said support the Ijaw origin of certain communities in the area.

"We have historical documents dating back to 16th something, where it clearly states that Gelegele is an Ijaw settlement," he said.

Dokubo maintained that claims linking some Ijaw communities to Benin ancestry were inaccurate.

"All those Ijaw people who are claiming historical parasitism that they are from Benin, they are liars. There is no Kalabari man that is from Benin. I am saying it as the Amayanabo of the Source," he declared.

His remarks have added to ongoing conversations about the history, identity and rights of Ijaw communities in Edo State, while drawing attention to calls for greater government engagement and development in the affected communities.

A new voice from the Niger Delta has taken center stage in the digital music space as Hero Beremi, an Ijaw artiste from Ondo State, surges to the No. 1 spot on TikTok with his fast-rising hit Who Dey Analyze.

From dance routines to street-style content and comedic skits, Who Dey Analyze has become one of the most widely used sounds on the platform, placing Hero Beremi at the heart of a growing cultural moment.

The phrase “Who Dey Analyze” itself has now evolved into a social expression online, used to challenge opinions, call out critics, and spark conversations across different content spaces.

The impact of the song is not limited to Nigeria alone. The trend has extended into Ghana and other parts of Africa, with content creators across borders adopting the sound and contributing to its rapid spread. The wave is also gaining traction beyond Africa, with growing usage recorded in continents such as America and Asia, further amplifying its global reach.

HYPO Is a Chemical, Not a Joke - Nigeria Must Take Action

A worrying trend is gradually gaining attention across Nigerian social media platforms, where individuals with large online followings create content showing themselves pretending to drink or interact with hazardous substances such as hypo and sniper for entertainment purposes.

While many of these creators may not actually consume the substances, the danger lies not in their intention but in the message being transmitted to viewers, especially children and teenagers who form a significant percentage of social media audiences.

To young or impressionable viewers, the difference between performance and reality is often unclear. What is staged for comedy, attention, or online engagement can easily be misunderstood as acceptable behavior. The repeated visual exposure to such content risks normalizing dangerous substances and encouraging unsafe curiosity.

Nigeria today has millions of minors with access to smartphones, often without supervision. When influential personalities simulate harmful acts, the consequences may extend far beyond the screen. A child attempting to imitate what appears online could face serious health risks.

This is why the issue must be treated as a public safety concern, not merely online entertainment.

GbaramatuVoice calls on the Federal Government, the National Orientation Agency (NOA), the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), and relevant authorities to urgently address this growing digital trend before it escalates into a national problem.

There is an immediate need for:

●Public awareness on responsible content creation,

●Clear digital safety guidelines for influencers,

●Collaboration with social media platforms to discourage harmful imitation content,

●Protection measures for minors who consume online media daily.

Content creators must also recognize that influence carries responsibility. Even when actions are staged, the impact on viewers is real.

As the Voice of the Niger Delta, GbaramatuVoice remains committed to promoting responsible media culture and safeguarding the wellbeing of young Nigerians across all communities.

Preventive action today will protect lives tomorrow.

Pondi: Detribalisation, Cultural Harmony Key to Sustainable Development

The Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, High Chief Kestin Pondi, has said detribalisation and cultural harmony remain vital forces for growth, stability, and sustainable development across kingdoms in Delta State.

In a statement obtained by GbaramatuVoice, Chief Kestin Pondi, stressed that meaningful progress is achieved when ethnic boundaries are set aside and communities embrace unity and cooperation.

“The spirit of detribalisation and cultural harmony remains a vital force for growth, stability, and sustainable development across our kingdoms.

Ozoro Kingdom has once again demonstrated visionary leadership by upholding these values,” he said.
