On this special occasion of her birthday, renowned Niger Delta advocate and global environmental crusader, **Ambassador Annkio Briggs**, has received warm and heartfelt tributes from friends, admirers, and activists across Nigeria and beyond — with one of the most profound coming from Niger Delta-born author and media personality, **Prince Agbedeyi Odimientimi Desmond**.

In a celebratory message published on Tuesday, Desmond described Ambassador Briggs as “a living legend, a fearless voice for the voiceless, and an indomitable Amazon who has spent her entire life fighting for justice, equity, and environmental dignity for the people of the Niger Delta.”

A Timeless Torchbearer of the Niger Delta Struggle

Born in the creeks of the Niger Delta and raised in the United Kingdom, Annkio Briggs returned to her homeland to become one of the fiercest defenders of minority rights, environmental justice, and true federalism in Nigeria. Through her organization, Agape Birthrights, and her countless appearances at national conferences and public panels, she has challenged multinational oil corporations, government oppression, and systemic marginalization.

Prince Desmond, while celebrating her, stated:

“Ambassador Annkio Briggs is not just a name; she is a movement. Her courage rattles injustice. Her voice thunders against oppression. Her life is a textbook of resilience and service. She is the pride of the Ijaw nation and a daughter of destiny for the Niger Delta.”

Championing Environmental and Human Rights

Annkio Briggs’ birthday celebration is more than an annual milestone — it is a symbolic reminder of the enduring fight against oil-induced pollution, gas flaring, and the destruction of ancestral lands in the Niger Delta. She has been a frontline warrior in exposing the decades-long environmental degradation suffered by host communities in Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta states.

According to Desmond, “She has been the conscience of our struggle. Whether standing before a Senate committee or marching with grassroots women in the creeks, Annkio has always chosen truth over compromise.”

Inspiring Generations of Advocates

Prince Desmond, himself a cultural custodian and media voice, emphasized the influence Ambassador Briggs has had in mentoring and inspiring younger generations of Niger Delta advocates, especially women and youth, to speak truth to power and stand firm against injustice.

“Her journey teaches us that activism is not noise-making but nation-healing. Her words provoke conscience, her actions inspire change, and her presence empowers courage,” Desmond noted.

Birthday Wishes and Prayers

On behalf of **Global Egberi Media International**, Prince Desmond extended birthday wishes to Ambassador Briggs, praying for her continued strength, health, and long life.

“May the Almighty continue to protect, elevate, and bless Ambassador Annkio Briggs. May her years ahead be filled with peace, fulfillment, and louder victories for the causes she holds dear. Happy birthday, Mother of the Niger Delta struggle!”

Today, we do not just celebrate her age — we celebrate her voice, her legacy, and her courage. Happy birthday, Ambassador Annkio Briggs!
