👑 A Reign of Royal Excellence and Enduring Legacy

The coastal community of Ogulagha Town in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State is aglow with color, music, and jubilation as His Royal Majesty, Elder (Capt.) Dr. Joseph Timiyan (JP), the revered Ebenanaowei of Ogulagha Kingdom, embarks on a royal tour across communities in commemoration of his 20th Coronation Anniversary.

This historic event marks two decades of visionary leadership, peace-building, and developmental impact under the reign of a monarch widely regarded as a symbol of unity, wisdom, and cultural pride for the entire Ogulagha Kingdom and beyond.

🌊 A Royal Journey Rooted in Unity and Culture

The ongoing royal tour captures the essence of traditional governance — an inspiring procession filled with royal pageantry, traditional dance troupes, drummers, masquerades, and cultural displays that mirror the vibrant identity of the Ijaw people.

Each community visit reaffirms the bond between the throne and the people, as His Majesty blesses indigenes, interacts with chiefs, youths, and elders, and expresses gratitude for their unwavering loyalty and cooperation over the years.

According to palace sources, the royal tour is not merely ceremonial — it’s a journey of appreciation and reflection ahead of the landmark 20th Coronation Anniversary, which will officially climax with a grand celebration in Ogulagha Town later this month.

⚓ A King of Vision, Peace, and Development

Since ascending the throne two decades ago, HRM Elder (Capt.) Dr. Joseph Timiyan (JP) has championed an era of peace, progressive governance, and infrastructural transformation in Ogulagha Kingdom.

Under his leadership, the kingdom has witnessed:

  • The strengthening of traditional institutions.

  • Improved relations between oil companies and host communities.

  • Youth empowerment initiatives and scholarship programs.

  • The promotion of cultural tourism and Ijaw identity.

His Majesty’s reign has brought unprecedented stability to a region that once faced challenges of neglect and marginalization, making him one of the most respected and development-conscious traditional rulers in the Niger Delta.

🕊️ Celebrating 20 Years of Royal Service

The forthcoming 20th Coronation Anniversary is expected to attract dignitaries from across Nigeria and the diaspora, including top government officials, traditional rulers, clergy, youth organizations, and representatives of oil multinationals operating within Ogulagha territory.

Cultural enthusiasts, tourists, and indigenes are eagerly awaiting the grand finale, which will serve as both a royal thanksgiving and a celebration of a reign defined by peace, inclusiveness, and progress.

The Ebenanaowei’s ongoing tour stands as a prelude to a celebration of history, rekindling the people’s sense of belonging, pride, and collective destiny as one united Ogulagha Kingdom.

🌴 The Symbolism Behind the Royal Tour

The royal tour carries deep traditional meaning — it signifies renewal of covenant between the king and his people, reaffirmation of authority, and blessings for every community visited.

In Ijaw culture, such tours are sacred and powerful events, believed to bring divine favor, peace, and prosperity to the land.
As the royal entourage moves from one settlement to another, jubilation fills the air, drums echo across the creeks, and the people chant praises celebrating a monarch who has ruled with dignity, compassion, and vision.

🗣️ Dr. Odimientimi Agbedeyi Congratulates the Monarch

In his goodwill message, Dr. Odimientimi Agbedeyi, CEO of Global Egberi Media International and Dean of the School of Applied Sciences, Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, congratulated His Royal Majesty, Elder (Capt.) Dr. Joseph Timiyan (JP) for his two decades of noble service and royal leadership.

Dr. Agbedeyi described the Ebenanaowei as “a monarch of peace, purpose, and progress — a true father to the Ijaw nation whose wisdom has sustained harmony and inspired unity across the Niger Delta.”

He further noted that the king’s enduring leadership stands as a beacon of hope and cultural pride, reminding all that tradition and modern governance can coexist to strengthen development and justice.

“On behalf of Global Egberi Media International, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to His Royal Majesty on this remarkable milestone,” Dr. Agbedeyi stated. “May the next decades of your reign continue to bring prosperity, wisdom, and divine grace to Ogulagha Kingdom and the Ijaw nation at large.”

🌟 A Monarch Loved by His People

From Ogulagha Town to Obotobo, Youbebe, Yokiri, and beyond, residents describe His Majesty as a father figure and bridge-builder, whose humility, wisdom, and commitment to justice have united the kingdom through storms and triumphs.

“He is not just our king; he is our pride and symbol of peace,” said one youth leader during the tour. “Twenty years on the throne, and he still walks among us with grace and humility.”

🎉 A Kingdom in Celebration

The entire Ogulagha Kingdom is in festive mood as drums, songs, and cheers herald this season of royalty. The royal tour is being covered live by cultural observers and media outlets, including Global Egberi Media International, which captured scenes of jubilation and heartfelt loyalty across the kingdom.

The celebration will culminate in a grand thanksgiving and cultural festival where the Ebenanaowei will receive guests from across Nigeria, reaffirming Ogulagha’s place as one of the most organized and peaceful kingdoms in the Niger Delta.

🕯️ Conclusion: Two Decades of Grace and Greatness

As HRM Elder (Capt.) Dr. Joseph Timiyan (JP) journeys across his domain, the message is clear — leadership is service, and royalty is responsibility.
His reign stands as a testimony that traditional authority, when driven by compassion and wisdom, can sustain peace, progress, and unity in a complex modern world.
