The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) on Wednesday dissociated the Ijaws from the agitation for Oduduwa Republic and urged those behind the moves to steer clear of Ijaw lands and territories in their quest.

Kennedy Olorogun, Chairman, IYC Transition implementation Committee spoke to newsmen in Yenagoa following reports credited to Chief Ayo Adebanjo, a chieftain of Afenifere associating the Ijaws with Oduduwa Republic.

Adebanjo had in media reports credited to him included Ijaw territories as part of proposed Oduduwa Republic as indigenous People group for United Nations recognition.

Olorogun noted that the Ijaws were a distinct ethnic nationality and do not to be subsumed or used to agitate for relevance and advised those behind the plot to have a rethink.

“Ordinarily we have nothing against people fighting for self determination because it is in tune with our aspiration as a people.

“However, we note that in a recent presentation to be part of indigenous people organisation of the United Nations, the promoters of the Oduduwa movement included Ijaw lands and territories in the present Edo and Delta States as part and parcel of the Oduduwa Republic.

“We wish to state clearly that though we are not against the aspiration of the Oduduwa movement self determination movement, however, Ijaw lands and territories should be left out of the composition of the Oduduwa areas.

“The Ijaw people are indigenous and distinct people in Nigeria and Africa and not part and parcel of any other ethnic nationality in Nigeria.

“The Ijaw territories of Egbema, Okomu, Gbarai, Olodiama and Furopagha in Edo State and Gbaramatu, Ogbe-Ijoh, Isaba, Egbema and Diebiri in the Warri Federal Constituency of Delta State which were included as part of the Oduduwa Republic are not Yoruba lands but owned by Ijaw people.

“We call on the promoters of the Oduduwa Republic to henceforth not include those areas as part of their Republic. We are not part and parcel of their Republic and do not wish to be part of it.

“We also call on the Indigenous people organisation of the United Nations to take note,” Olorogun said.

No source? Just an ordinary concoction like undergraduate food

Afenifere are a bunch of shameless and senile old men, they keep on disgracing Yorubas everywhere, they are not speaking on behalf of Yorubas.

Nawaooo
The cup south west used on Biafra is now been use on them
Though no source

can the jaws stand-alone as a nation?

Tale of two idiots

One nigeria

valentineuwakwe:

I think they can. They have oil and they have access to sea.

Why do yoruba suddenly want to run away from Nigeria? I thought nigeria was created by God to be one and united forever according to yorubas?

I think the Ibos should scuttle all your seccesion plans, the way you've been scuttling theirs and insulting every Biafran leader from Ojukwu and Uwazurike who never did you any harm to Kanu who doesn't take nonsense from you wicked people anymore.

There is need to warn Yorubas about this attitude of sneaking in to do things.It should be the last time they will consider Ijaw land as parts of Oduduwa Republic.They should never ever dare to consider Ijaw land in Edo state or Delta State as part and parcel of their territory. When did Yorubas begin agitation for seccession and to form a republic. Yorubas think we v forgotten how they betrayed our son Good luck Jonathan and they worked to scuttle our son's hope of the presidency. They want our oil in Ijaw land,funny enough,having occupied Shell and other oil corporations in Niger Delta thinking we can be fooled. Ijaws v woken up to all other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

valentineuwakwe:

Of course they can, but they are not agitating for that. They more interested in shouting about resource control forever

valentineuwakwe:

We v what it takes and we v been feeding the nation with our resource including Lagos and Abuja

Philistine:
Afenifere are a bunch of shameless old men, they keep on disgracing Yorubas everywhere, they are not speaking on behalf of Yorubas.

Ok if you say we should not listen to afenifere, we will listen to muric

Where is the sauce and curry?

BTW , this could be a fabricated story as op is a known antagonist of Yoruba

Afeniferawon can only speak for themselves, wetin concern Yoruba with Ijaw?.
Yoruba no dey carry excess luggage, Yorubas are more interested in Igbomina and Okun in Kwara and Kogi states.
Ijaw bawo?, e koshi danu jor.

mujahid777:

Biafra and s understandable but not Oduduwa republic. Just imagine insult on the Ijaw nation

Gandollar:

How is that any of your business? Your concern should be Nnamdi Kanu.

Why are people debating on baseless information; an information that has no source. Some people just think they can sit somewhere and compose any concocted info, pass it to a public forum to spur argument and unnecessary agitation.


@Op, Where is the source of your information

Then why including us in your seccession? Ijaw land in Edo and Delta are not parts of Oduduwa please.

No link, and even the link provided below the so-call link doesn't tally with the news.

so is olorogun an ijaw name?the writer is an Igbo man,he is seeking a revenge against the yoraba.

This one separation talks has started dominating national discuss, it seems the inevitable breakup of Nigeria will happen faster than we all thought.

Just like the USSR of old, Nigeria is gradually breaking up under the weight of its uselessness.

You can't stop an idea whose time has come.

RIP to Nigeria. It was a tale of woes, destruction and deaths while you lasted
