If a group of ijaw can't speak for their people, are you, a non ijaw qualified?

tarryT:
Is anybody expecting IYC to say anything else. ... ? MEND is the true representatives of the Izon man. All those anti-Biafrans dancing azonto will know the real beat of the music in due time. .. Proudly Izon man,..100% Biafran.

SenatorM:


Are you more Ijaw than Ateke Tom, Asari Dokubo, Tom Polo?

You are not speaking for the Ijaw people.

sixtuschimere:
   Worried by several malicious and thought provoking attempts and by pro-Biafra groups like the Movement for the Actualisation of a Sovereign State Of Biafra (MOASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to include Ijaw territories in the maps of Biafra without proper consultations and consent of the Ijaw ethnic nationality.

   The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has distant itself and the Ijaw nation from that fictitious map claiming Ijaw territories as been part of Biafra for there was never a time we were Biafrans. The Old Eastern region was also a contraption that so much enslaved the Ijaw people that was created by those who created this miscarriage of a State called Nigerian.
It should be noted that the Ijaws are not in any way against the genuine aspirations of all peoples including the IPOB to attain self determination or secession as the case may be.

  Ijaws are a distinct ethnic nation even before the 1914 amalgamation that has its own dreams, wishes and aspirations that should not be submerged as footnotes in any other people’s struggle.
We Ijaw people are not Biafrans. Therefore if or when any Ijaw person or group feel a sense of allegiance to Biafra and speak in its favour, let it be known that such statements are the personal opinions of such persons, which does not reflect the thoughts, views and wishes of the entire Ijaw Nation and the Niger Delta
people.

  The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide through the National Spokesman Daniel Williams  Dasimaka issued this strict warning to all the overzealous and misinformed IPOB members to desist from insulting our respected Elders and critical stakeholders especially our mother in the Niger Delta Madam Annkio Briggs who have dedicated so much of her life, time, resources and energy for the past 19 years agitating for the economic and the environmental freedom of the people of Niger Delta. The drivers of IPOB should therefore call their followers to order for such act of bigotry will no longer be tolerated from any body or group of persons.

  For the records, the Ijaw struggle for Self-Determination predates the Biafra agitation. It is a known historical fact that a year before the world got to hear of the term Biafra Republic, Ijaws led by late Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro of blessed memory declared a Niger Delta Republic in pursuit of the emancipation of the Niger Delta people which the progenitor of Biafran Late Col Ojukwu of blessed memory fought against as the then Governor of the Old Eastern region when the going was going good with him in the Nigerian State.
It is also on record that a year before MOASSOB was founded; the IYC through the Kaiama Declaration affirmed ‘our commitment to joint struggle with the other ethnic nationalities in the Niger delta area for self-determination.

   We expressed our solidarity with all peoples organisations and ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and elsewhere who are struggling for self-determination and justice. In particular IPOB,   the struggle of the Oodua peoples Congress (OPC), the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (Mosop), Egi Women's Movement etc.’ Thus our struggle cannot be submerged into the Biafra agitation that came after ours.

   Our position has not changed. We Ijaws stand for self determination in the  Nigerian federation. We stand for the convocation of a Sovereign National Conference of equally represented ethnic nationalities to discuss the nature of a democratic federation of Nigerian ethic nationalities or a Referendum to decide our future in this amalgamated marriage.
As our founding fathers noted in 1998, ‘but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY’. Thus we call on our Biafran brothers to respect our identity. Any attempt to lump Ijaws into Biafra without the genuine consent of Ijaws is not only an insult but a futile attempt at replicating the oppression in Nigeria Biafians claim to resist.
Signed
Daniel Dasimaka
Spokesman, Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide

ProWalker:


Igbos have been doing this present nonsense they are doing for a long time. Anytime they are having it good in Nigeria, things would be fine, once they lose out, they will start disturbing the nation with biafra noise.

hornyofife:
yes they are not but their ancestor were.

sukkot:
finally an igbo man admits yoruba run thangs up in here

and let it be known, we join hands with our delta and ijaw brothers in unity side by side. after-all obasanjo put jonathan the ijaw man in power. so ijaw and delta and yoruba is one accord. we shall not let the igbo man divide us

SenatorM:


Are you more Ijaw than Ateke Tom, Asari Dokubo, Tom Polo?

You are not speaking for the Ijaw people.

hornyofife:
All i see from these IYC is igbophobia...Ijaw is not Igbo but they are Biafrans

successmatters:


When I saw the mixture of ogogoro, schnapps and can gulder and Guinness on the table, I knew it was alcohol speaking on behalf of ijaws. TonyeBarcanista was there.

bamite:
The thing too pain the ikechuob miscreant wella

Amberon11:
Attaché syndrome. There are six regions in Nigeria. Our region is the south south, deal with it.

Dancos:

I am proud of you my brother. We ibibios are biafrans.
Nnamdi Kalu is a messenger from God to liberate the children of God from slavery from the egyptians. Just like Jesus, Moses, David etc.
Every biafran and niger deltan is a slave in nigeria?. Weather you like it or not.
The north has 19 states with large number of local government areas.
Kano state has 44 local government created by the military govt and bayelsa state has 8 local government. Based on the sharing formula of federal revenue. If kano state gets 44 billion with no contribution from the state to the federation account. Bayelsa state gets 8 billion contributing 99% of her natural resources to the federation account. The question is who is fooling who?, monkey dey work baboon dey chop. Niger delta, izon, iyor, ijaw or what ever is your name wake up una mumu don do. Good morning

Chef2000:
Like Nnamdi Kanu pointed out, "After Biafra Independence any group that want to option out,can do so without a war"
So any true Ijaw son should join hand and liberate their people from slavery.

obyrich:
I laugh at the greedy imbeciles who strut around on social media platforms claiming to be from South South (whatever that means).

Nigeria was formed by the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates of the British Empire. Up till today, the Northern group are still united under the 19 Northern States assembly while the Southern group are split along ethnic lines.

This divide and rule formula was a veritable tool of perpetual enslavement bequeathed the North by the British to maintain leadership over us. It is fuelled by greed and avarice for power. It will in the end destroy everyone.

You can never hear the Yoruba media warriors here protesting against annexation of Kwara by the North but if they hear Obigbo or Etche people declaring support for Biafra, even though these people do not deny their Igbo heritage, you see them fighting like a lion baulked of its prey.

These 'We South South' chanters will understand the game when Oil either dries up or becomes valueless.

Dlordsamurai:
I stand with one NIGERIA. "proudly urhobo.

NeeKlaus:

Dlordsamurai:
YES, yes and yes. its a big yes.

NeeKlaus:

Alright, I will tame my curiosity. How did you come up with such info? You have had an encounter with them before or what?

laudate:


Until the time the oil dries up, stop taking panadol for the problems of the South-South. Let them sort them selves out. No be by force....

cumbak60:

Nnamdi Kanu cannot get us Biafra. His mouth has already crashed the project even before it started. Iwe ne wem.
How such charismatic and energetic young man lacks tact and diplomacy baffles me. He created an opportunity and at the same time destroyed it with his own hands.
His tongue is like a loose canon that fires in all direction without control, destroying both foes and friends alike. I'm honestly pained.

obyrich:
Nothing like South-South. Stop the mockery.

laudate:


South-South exists! Stop the tomfoolery.
