THE QUEST FOR IJAW REFERENDUM FOR SELF DETERMINATION

REFERENDUM is an official global process in the practice of demoncracy for which a Group of People, most specifically, an Indigenous Society coordinate themselves properly by preparing A Bill of Independence with unanimously endorsed Contents of Information, and with Abundance of Signatures, representing Majority Consent of the Totality of the Indigenous People, and Send it to the United Nations in seeking Freedom from Any Affiliated Federation thereby making it to be Mandatory for the World Body to Pay Priority Attention to their Signed Appeal for possible evaluation and consideration, and subsequently for approval which results to delegating its Agency to work towards the Demands of the People for Self Determination through an Internationally Monitored Voting Exercise which can be conducted Only on the Population of the Indigenous Society.

Referendum therefore is a collective process of expressing the wishes of a People in Free and Fair Voting Exercise for which the People make efforts to define and determine a Society's Geopolitical cum Economic Margins through constitutionally recognised conventional processes which are officially prescribed by the International Law hence is supervised by the Leadership of the United Nations in strengthening Global Democracy in modern days existence.

This simply means that No Any Other Group of Persons has the Right to Stop or to Intimidate a Non-Self Governing People from deciding their own fate through Referendum. No Military Leadership nor an Incumbent President can stop People of a Society from deciding their Fate through Referendum. It is a Standardised International Political Process for Self Determination without Interference from Any Other Group of People from somewhere else. The People Themselves have Absolute Rights before the International Law to be Independent from Other Affiliating Subgroups if wished to be so.

SOME POTENT POINTS TO NOTE IN DELAYING THE IJAW INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM

1. Many of the Ijaws childishly thought that our Dear Destiny is in the Hands of the Nigerian State especially those King Makers but that is the highest hierarchy in stupidity. Before the arrival of the colonialists, Ijaws were Ijaws hence Has No One Percent Political Affiliation with other Tribal Groups in the Nigerian Territories. We were just mere Neighbours hence the Original Identity and Dignity of being an Independent Ijaw Society Must Never be Compromised with Any Nonsense Political Manipulation. We were Ijaws and Must be Ijaws Very Soon by the Power and the Glory of God who created us Originally as Ijaws. Our Identity in Nigerianism is an Adulterated Identity hence must be rejected by All Reasonable Ijaws at any cost.

2. Many Ijaws do not understand the Exceptional Rights of an Indigenous Society before the International Law hence ignorantly thought that it is Nigeria that has the Audacity to retain us in Nigerian Federation which is an absolute nonsense. Nigeria has No One Percent Rights to keep Ijaws in this Unfriendly Country. We Ijaws are in Slavery because of our Ignorance about the International Processes of Securing Freedom through the United Nations General Assembly. Ijaws Must Organize themselves properly and approach the United Nations to Come and Conduct Referendum on the Ijaw Population for Self Determination.

3. Some Ijaws even minimally thought that the Ijaw Population is Too Small for Self Government. Ignorance is really a Big Blindness. Ijaw Population is even up to Three Countries. What the United Nations requires for Self Determination is the Ability of Your Economy to sustain the Target Population for survival without depending wholly on others. Secondly, whether the population of your Youths can raise Security Force capable of offering Protection to the target New Society and we have enough Youths Population to raise Army, Navy, Air force, Police and even othet Paramilitary Security Outfits hence is adequately qualified to be considered for Independence and subsequent approval by the United Nations.

4. Many Ijaws Insufficiently thought that the Nigerian Senate and the Presidency can stop the processes of the Ijaw Referendum if initiated but the Truth is that neither the Senate nor the Presidency has One Percent Right to stop the Ijaw Independent Bill. If they refused to Honour the Ijaw Independent Bill, it is even Better for us because at then, we are at advantage since the International Law permits us to Seek the Attention of the United Nations for Referendum. I therefore prayed that both the Nigerian Senate and the Presidency reject the Ijaw Independent Bill so that we speedily forward it to the United Nations for Deliberations.

5. Many Ijaws are waiting for Britain and America to intervene but that is useless. They have No Rights to Decide our Fate. The Rights to Secure Independence for the Ijaw Society is in the hands of Ijaws and not in the hands of America and Britain. When we approach the United Nations officially, then they can play certain roles to influence the processes either positively or negatively yet have No Absolute Rights to determine whether an Indigenous Society should be free or not. It is left for the Indigenous People to make relentless efforts towards their freedom from unnecessary dominance.

5. Ijaws carelessly allow Every Aspect of their collective life to be managed and controlled by Politicians which is fully unfortunate. We are quite aware that the Ijaw Politicians are the Most Dubious Set of Persons who are inclined to Betraying the Ijaw Family even with the Least Level Public Prominence Slots hence tolerating Ijaw Politicians to determine the Fate of Ijaws is just like keeping your Goats in the Custody of Lions for safe keeping and such an instance is the most Useless thing to do in life.

6. Many Ijaw Leaders thinly thought that if they get Involved in Processes of the Ijaw Bill for Independence, they will be hunted by the Nigerian Authority for Treason but that is not True. All the Countries Constitutions are Subject to the International Law hence the Nigerian Authority has No Single Right to Intimidate Anyone who is involved in courses of the Ijaw Referendum. Such instances with regard to Intimidation of the Members of the Indigenous Society especially those in Leadership fighting for the Freedom of the Indigenous Population must be stated clearly in the Context of the Bill for them to be Safe from Any Unnecessary Attack as the United Nations will make Clarification on the implications of intimidating such persons to the federation leadership.

7. Ijaws since fighting for Freedom for its Indigenous Population has never Officially Involved the United Nations but is just mere Agitation at home hence are being intimidated by the Nigerian Authority severally. Referendum is not an Issue of Treason nor an Act of Criminality hence those who are in Leadership will not be Stupid Enough to Interrupt Official International Standard for Self Determination. I therefore call on the Leadership of the Ijaw Nation Organization to be Sensitive and Serious in the course of seeking Self Determination for the Ijaw Population. No One can stop Ijaws from getting Independence. We are even the One delaying our Rights to Freedom. We Ijaws have absolute Rights to be Independent from any other group in Nigerianism. If Indigenous Societies with Smaller Population such as Tokelaun with just a population of 1,500 people Applied to the United Nations for Freedom and the United Nations responded aptly to their quest for Self Government, what Stops Ijaws from Seeking Self Determination from the United Nations. Ijaws in Leadership are still begging for Resources Control and Fair Treatment from Nigerians which is quite unfortunate.

8. Ijaws should learn a lexical lesson from the courage expressed by the Tokelaun People whose population was just only One Thousand Five Hundred People (1,500) but relentlessly approached the United Nations for a Self Government Request to be Independent from New Zealand which they were under their control since 1926 for which the United Nations General Assembly responded positively by delegating its Electoral Monitoring Mission to conduct Referendum on the Tokelaun People in response to their Request and Wish to be Free From the New Zealand Republic hence the First Referendum was conducted in 2006 and subsequent one in 2007.

Ref. General Assembly: GA/COL/3164: Department of Public Information-News and Media Division- New York, 16 October, 2007.

The United Nations Resolution 1541(xv) defined Three Ways in which a Non-Self Governing Territory can attain a Full Measure of Self Government from its Federating Entity as envisioned in United Nations Charter, such as:

(a). Free Association which is established on the basis of Free and Voluntary Choice from the Indigenous People.

(b). Integration which is established on the basis of equality between the people under the federation.

(c). Independent State and Independence which refers to a group under a federation but wishes to be Independent from their present federated status.

9. Ijaws must newly know that when once Ijaws initiate and launch official Processes for Self Government on the Floor of the United Nations General Assembly, Nigerians in Leadership will tortoistically lure and lobby Ijaw Sons and Daughters with either Vice President or even with President Slot to distract the Genuine Course of the Ijaws towards Self Government. I therefore call on all Well Meaning Ijaw Intellectuals to disregard such Level of Foolishness because the Abundance of Benefits, with accompanying Aura of Freedom in Self Government can never be compared to an Empty Carcass Slot of Being An Ordinary President Position in a country that is full of Wickedness and Enmity. It is only a Full Time Fool that will throw Away a Box full of Gold and rushes towards a Box full of Ashes. Processes for Ijaw Referendum might take some time but cannot be compared to Ijaws Sorrowful Situations in Nigerianism. Please fellow Ijaws, "be wise as Serpent and be harmless as Dove"!

10. Many Ijaw Politicians and Elders because of Greed and Shortsightedness are never in support of the Ijaw Referendum. They are Childishly being Over Excited with Insignificant Small Small Smelting Political Appointments offered them by Northerners hence want us to continue in Nigerian Enslavement. That is why they are running to Abuja day and night with Lexical Lies against Ijaw Secession aspirations. They preferred Slavery to Ijaw Self Government. You will easily notice them when the processes for Ijaw Referendum is launched. Many of them will be sent by northerners to come and plead with the Ijaws with Fake Fake Promises. This time such Elders and Politicians will be Openly Disgraced and their Anti-Ijaw Freedom Antics will be Spread Everywhere including on Social media. Wicked Wicked Self Alone Politicians, we are waiting for you. God will punish them very soon!

We Ijaws in our thousands of thoughts are verily void in validity. We are a Set of Self-Defeated Category in Classification due to expression of unnecessary shyness. Our thoughts are watery in weight. We tensely thought that someone from somewhere else is always superior to us. We therefore succumb childishly to our Negative Neighbours. Though were Israelites in entry but are now Egyptian in equivalence. We are the Only Set of Humanity that Dislike Indigenous Identity in admiration of someone from somewhere else. We admire Northerners that put pepper in our eyes. We cherish Westerners that mock us in Goat Grade Gravity. We appreciate Easterners that cheat us in all forms of bargains. But always snub blood based brotherhood when we have enough to eat. Our Ijaw Attitude is always Anti-Ijaws in aims and in actions. We never think of being superior to someone from somewhere else. Our thinking temperament is too teasing to be legal in learning. If Jebussites are placed in a possible platform with Ijaws, the Jebussites will be far more in margin than Ijaws in attitude. Ijaws are still upside down in memory merit.

Spitefully speaking, Nigerians never have a Least Level love for Ijaws. They pretend to love Ijaws but are inclined to exploiting certain Advantages in the Carelessness of the Ijaw Man conduct. Yes, Nigerians are making huge profits from Lack of Unity among Ijaws, and that is carelessness if not a form of foolishness. Israel is surrounded by Enemy Nations but the Degree of Unity among Israelites make them to be an Indomitable Force to the Enemies. The Ijaw Man is only Thinking of How He will be Speedily Better than Fellow Ijaws but never Thinks of How He will Unite with Fellow Ijaws to be better than our enemies. I am quite aware that Sycophants and Political Page Persons will not take it lightly for this Ideal Injunction but such is just a Little Truth, perhaps a Larger Lexis of Truth about the Ijaw Situation will soon be made available. If we don't want to hear negative news about ourselves, we must be mindful of our conducts and actions. Enough is Equally Enough!

The funny part is same person will still make a post n say people hate their tribe.

God bless the Ijaw republic Ijaw republic or nothing else.

Ijaw republic our home.

Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into more than six Nigerian states when all ijaws are together and are not scattered by God.
Ijaw alone produces over 90 percent of all Nigeria's crude oil.
Those who want to insult Ijaw can only do it online and not physical.

Only Egbema clan have over 350 villages and settlements under it, only Egbema clan alone, and Ijaw have 86 clans.

Not even one Ijaw person signed that nonesense 1914 amalgamation documents, so Ijaw was never ever colonized.

Nigeria is evolving
