ress Statement- Ibadan - The Apapo Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA) has expressed full support for the declaration of autonomy by the Ogoni people. In a statement issued after the group’s Central Working Committee, (CWC) meeting held all-night at Ibadan on Friday, the group said every

nationality in Nigeria has a lot to learn from the Ogoni declaration and that all nationalities seeking self-determination should begin to assert themselves.

“Today, we express our profound support for the historic declaration of autonomy and self-determination by the Ogoni people through one of the oldest self determination movements in Africa, the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People, (MOSOP)”, a statement issued in Ibadan and signed by Mr Akinwunmi Adeolu on behalf of AOKOYA stated.

he group said that it is significant that the declaration of autonomy is coming at a time the Yoruba people were preparing to mark the 55 Anniversary of Western self independence, (Autonomy) which comes up on August 8. We commend the leadership of MOSOP, led by Mr Goodluck Diigbo for this bold and inevitable decision. “We urge all other oil producing communities to follow the full steps of Ogoni and through all means necessary, prevent the exploitation of oil resources in their homelands.”

At this critical moment in Nigerian history, when the country and its people have been overstretched beyond the limits of tolerance, one of the most important solutions is for ethnic nationalities to seize their destinies with both hands. We support this bold initiative of the Ogoni people. We stand by them. We shall do whatever is necessary to ensure the consolidation of this declaration of autonomy.

AOKOYA whose main agenda is the realization of Oduduwa Republic said the current political leadership are hell-bent in leading the country into the pathway of violence and anarchy and that the way to confront this situation if for ethnic groups to assert themselves and insist on autonomy, a right expressly supported by the various United Nation’s Conventions.

“Like every indigenous group in Nigeria, the Ogoni people have no hope in Nigeria. Their resources are plundered by the Nigerian state, their territories have been destroyed through half a century of oil exploration and naked, unending exploitation of the people. These exhaustible oil resources will not be there in about 20 years time. The decision of Ogoni people to assert autonomy will further preserve these resources from extinction. We fully support this decision and we look forward to support from nations and self-determination groups across the world. It is unfortunate that even though President Goodluck Jonathan is an Ijaw man, he is merely reinforcing the illusion that the Ijaw people are being empowered. We are certain that whatever decision he might have taken while in office that appears to favour his people, will be reversed by his successor. The President has been empowering individuals while he has no ideological depth to realize that the greatest empowerment can only come from the full control of resources by the Ijaw and all oil producing peoples and communities.

Yes, because if Ogoni secedes by ommission or commission, Odua will follow suit, 1966-70 style. Leading from the rear as usual, waiting for the first opportunity to stab Ogoni on the back.
Bomboclats!

Lol...una no go kill person for hia.

hmmmm

At the sound of the first shots, all these bitches will be no where to be found.

Obj says nigeria is indivisible,
Afenifere says north should please don't go away from nigeria,
now AOKOYA hails ogoni people for seperation, hmmmm

oodua i realy dont know your stand.

pls where do you stand ?

It doesnt matter what Odua says now or in the future.

It doesnt matter whether you stop Ogoni or not!

Nigeria will still disintegrate someday.

i remember some group did the same in 1967 - 70 and there was 2million death and war

its because gej is civilised. He knows that there is a law in the united nations charter that empowers every ethnic group the right to self determination

Actually the secret to self determination is to prepare to HOLD ANY INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEATHS OF POLITICAL ACTIVISTS WHO WANT TO SECEDE.
The Nigerian security is made up of people who must think twice about a death sentence for crimes they committed in the name of state.
No one can hide under state to commit crimes against human beings. Charles Taylor is in jail at The Hague prisons.
Many African state government officials who ordered or are directly responsible for deaths of activists are in jail already. More will join them.

Gone are the days of unknown soldiers killing people and getting away free.

About OP, I would watch my back if I were Ogoni.
History is there for a reason.

i hope this will not lead to abandoned oil wells,

How come the same people who are advocating for the use of Force to reunite the country never thought of using force when Bakassi was snatched from the by Cameroun

ogoni go and ask igbo how we take receive our own promise.

Lol. Funny stuff.
The sound of bullets and bombs if it does happen will saperate the contenders from the pretenders. Nuff said.

When issue of Nigeria’s disintegration on the table for discussion or seriously contemplated, any talk of political support from Oodua or people from Oodua’s region should be discarded or thrown into trash bin.

It is this kind of political immaturity that guarantees that y'all are going nowhere anytime soon. You people need to learn how strange bedfellows can usher in a winning situation. Watch out for 2015 and learn.

We have the power as a sovereign state and it is our social political right,we are going to actualize BIAFRA, by also using the self determination principles of UN resolution A/61/295 of sep 2007 on self determination on ethnic nations.


We do not want autonomy in/with Nigeria,we do not want creation of more state'' in within Nigeria,we want our independent sovereign nation state.We are "BIAFRANS" we are hard working and achieving people who understand the value of an environment and equity,justice,security,and stability for success,we are not Nigerians, we are not lazy parasites.

We are not a culture of killers and murderers and genocidist,we will one day have our sovereign and independent state of BIAFRA using self determination..

wetin concern the various monkeys in this thread with the matter? Neither of the groups mentioned are yours, are they?

I never ever prayed for disintegration of Nigeria. But if the Boko Haram wants to islamize a country, it should be their country. I think they should be bold enough to declare their autonomy " Haramistan" wont be a bad name and let the South-West-East remain brothers in progress.

not someday its not that far.

The whole event is starting to play out like the 1967 saga. A group opted out and others pledging support to them.

History does repeat itself. Ogoni's should take any support from any group with a pinch of salt and watch their backs.

GEJ would probably let them be but just incase, preparation against Nigerian government retaliation should be one of their main concern

BUMPS

Dont make me laugh

awolowo comes to mind. This time around, tinumbu go replace awolowo,,,,Ogoni people be careful of those who are offering you a "half kolanut"

What do you expect from ibo fools and low lifers? They are ibos, youknow?

The fools are not happy because Ogoni peeps are not giving in to the biafran scams. Ha ha ha . . .imagine one old fool claiming Eleme as part of biafra? Odua republic for Yorubas ONLY!!!

Yeah, waiting for the ijaw groups too. mu che che.

and i see how your political maturity made you the poorest region in africa, if that is maturity according to gworo chewing nama like you then your indeed a cow besides who wants a strange bed fellow that will wake up one morning to start killing women and children and burning churches down , thanks but no thanks , darkness and light can never mix.

Leaving Nigeria only to end up in another mini Nigeria? God forbid!!!

The only thing acceptable to us is to have a monologue country, where our language will be one. Nothing more, nothing less. I will personally design the heavy concrete barricades.

Every person must answer him papa name.

Hate! Hate!!! Hate everywhere.SMH
I don't see what's wrong in a group supporting another.
By now, we all should have moved past 1967 ooo. I don't see what we have gained from hating ourselves.

Don't expect those with 1967 frozen brains to think otherwise. The animals are just displaying their genetical attributes.

The idiots went on killing spree of other regional political leaders and allowing their own to slide away without giving it a second thought. The idiots are not happy because Ogoni people refused to succumb to biafran scam. They are not happy because people are seeking self determination in a more civil means. They want it to be bloody since they see joy in sucking blood.

They are not happy since there won't be any lagos for them to capture.


They are not happy because we seek Nigeria to be dissolved in a humane way or by round table discussion.

Ask them why are they having 3 million ibos in kano alone and watch them go dumb. pathetic!
