Gbene Ogoni!! Bue Kah

Gbene Ogoni!! Bue Zor

Gbene Ogoni!! Ka-a-lenebari

To think that this is happening at a time when their brother is at the helm of affairs.

Unlike Biafra, the intl community ,and US especially wont hesitate to lend support. South Sudan is a case in point

We r at a stage in Nigeria where anybody has the chance ϯo do,say,act n declare whatever he/she likes..However hee/she liks..Whenever he/she likes

Sadly, we αve truly n absolutely become a Failed Nation.

A Nation full of daft people, daft groups anϑ daft governments at all levels.

Its plain "Absurdity" at its highest.

Ogoni-land they call it, Headed by anoda "Goodluck"

#now, that's wat i wld call DAFT.

what a joke,please the moderators should put this in the joke section

agent22: Why is the man's surname DIIGBO An Igbo name!!!

See this tribalistic bigot! More reason why Nigeria should dis-integrate!



Frawzey.

Abeg make dem carry go comot

blackweaver: i pity these people, i hope they are armed sha; anyway seeing that oga presido is a man of slow action perhaps nothing will happen; but in the time of obj, this would have resulted in war. anyway if it works out then kudos to them; i wish them the best

^^^I reserve my comments on this declaration until more information comes in. What I will not let slide however, is the implied veneration (in your post) of Olusegun Obasanjo as some extraordinary statesman. He is not and only picks on targets far, far weaker.

Thank God it happened when GEJ is in power! I bet they won't try it if a northerner was the president. Goodluck to them.BIAFRA shall be the next!!

Brewing war....

bayooooooo:

It's a joke because it's an empty declaration that does not alter any political equation. Nothing short of comedy!

Very big joke .... think they just want to attract attention (international) so the UNEP money will get paid.

No be today, i dont have ur time. If you know what is in every Ogoni man's mind, if possible they will bring back Saro wiwa from grave and give him 36 Lashes of the cane.

kheart: Hmmm ogoniland interesting, i thought ibos want ur oil money in their dead biafrajukwu? Chai see color riot wey dem use as flag, ebi like poo.

isnt that a reigning fashion craze?? Call it color block.

Having mixed feelings about this, I'm happy as a result of this development, @ the same time, I'm afraid of the probable reaction on the path of the decayed government. Who will bell the cat for us the remaining Nigerians?

This is a good move, it'll bring the cause of ethnic nationalities back to forefront. The Ogoni people have conducted themselves for almost 2 decades with honor, always kicking against violence, even when it was carried out against them. I wish them luck and goodwill in their efforts and hope it will act as a wake up call to other groups to start to organize themselves so we can finally reconstruct this contraption called Nigeria, and hopefully leave something better for our children

who's next?

Nothing on earth warrants this. They said their land has been marginalized, environment contaminated, and that they are far from Govt. Today, their son is the president, they are given 13% of federal income, they have one ministry- NIGER DELTA MINISTRY, taking care of them, amnesty was granted to the militants, oil companies reserve certain percentage of employment for their youths and so on. They don't have and excuse. The move has selfish motives and must be rejected.

ajos: Dis r traitor 2 d FG of nigeria,u shall be delt wit accordingly.hope ur leaders r ready 2 face d music,cos nigeria ARMY don't tolerate such nonsence.i pity u

They are no traitors. They have had enough and have decided to take their fate in their hand. I wish them the very best.

Congrats to the Ogonis! So when is Odua Republic being declared? Can't wait to disassociate myself from Nigeria.

Har !! We dey fear na

In God we trust. People of Ogoniland congratulations. Goodluck Jonathan wil grant dem dia autonomy. Biafra, Odua n Arewa wetin una dey wait for? Big noisemakers!

bashr8: i think this is the only good news i have read this year , they deserve it, everybody deserves autonomy , its time we stopped fooling ourselves in nigeria.

is that how to declare self determination or political autonomy. Well we await same from the islamists in the far north or naijastan, instead of throwing bombs and destroying lives and properties. Expecting the biafras, kwararafas, naija delta and the afenifere to follow suit

Johndoe100:

Only ibo's in biafra, the era of slavery is over.

Nobody is enslaving anybody but you must leave igbos alone and focus your attention
on how to free yourself from your 'voluntary enslavement' when you handed your resources
over to your current masters that promised to free you from your 'imaginary igbo Lords'.

your people were so fixated on igbos to the extent of forgetting 85 percent of their oil blocks.
That is your current challenges because igbo this and that is old news and nobody want you in biafra
or Republic of IGBOLAND.

Those who started 'Gadafi must go' were seen as a joker. I hope nobody has promise these ogoni people paradise on earth?

Ogbonaikenna: hahahahah. You are alone on this bro. Nobody is supporting this your rubbish threat. Who do you this will declare the war? Is it their own "son"? Then you must be dreaming. GEJ will NEVER use force on his people. He is a respecter of the RULE OF LAW

And whose head lies the blood of those killed in Lagos during the Subsidy saga?

Buhari or IBB?

POLITICAL AUTONOMY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM SECESSION

Political autonomy: definition
Political freedom (also known as political autonomy or political agency) is a central concept in Western history and political thought, and one of the most important (real or ideal) features of democratic societies.[1] It has been described as a relationship free of oppression[2] or coercion;[3] the absence of disabling conditions for an individual and the fulfillment of enabling conditions;[4] or the absence of lived conditions of compulsion, e.g. economic compulsion, in a society.[5] Although political freedom is often interpreted negatively as the freedom from unreasonable external constraints on action,[6] it can also refer to the positive exercise of rights, capacities and possibilities for action, and the exercise of social or group rights.[7] The concept can also include freedom from "internal" constraints on political action or speech (e.g. social conformity, consistency, or "inauthentic" behaviour.)[8] The concept of political freedom is closely connected with the concepts of civil liberties and human rights, which in democratic societies are usually afforded legal protection from the state.

POLITICAL AUTONOMY IN NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION
Between 1959 and January 1966 when the first military government of General Aguiyi-Ironsi came into power, each of the three regions had constitutional powers to regulate its education, trade, agriculture, health care, and judiciary. The 1959 constitution on the basis of which Nigeria was granted independence by Britain allowed each region to develop and modernize its culture and society at its own pace.

The system of government that Nigerians have come to know since 1966 is one created by the military to "homogenize" the diverse economic, political, and religious cultures in the country. The take-over of regional universities by the federal military government in the 1970s, the deployment of soldiers as governors or administrators in states other than their own and with traditions and cultures that differ from those of their states of origin, the surreptitious enrollment of Nigeria in the Organization of Islamic States, indicate, for example, the erosion of social and cultural autonomy for the regions that constitute the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

For instance, no efforts were made to find out if the non-Hausa-Fulani states in Nigeria liked to join the Organization of Islamic States. Even in the days of colonial rule, the Northern region was given a choice to determine if and when it wanted to attain a self-governing status. Its decision not to be self-governing was respected in 1957 while the decision of Eastern and Western regions to become self-governing was also accepted. The enrollment of Nigeria in OIC or the new Islamic counterpart of G8, would have, in the context of a truly federal system in which the states or regions are autonomous, been presented as optional to each region. There are precedents in Nigerian political history for this. Between 1957 and 1959, Eastern and Western Nigeria had special diplomatic reprsentation in London while the North did not. In a genuinely federal system, it would have been proper for the Islamic Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri states in northern Nigeria to have a special relationship with the OIC and the Islamic G7 without necessarily having to push unwilling states along in the name of Nigeria.

Historically, the British colonial thinkers and strategists never imagined a unitary system of government for Nigeria. Nothing in the way and manner in which they administered the country suggested that they would have preferred the total obliteration of the diverse pre-colonial cultural identities they met in Nigeria. The policy of indirect rule, as distinct from the French policy of assimilation, is evidence that the British preferred a system of multiculturalism that federalism nurtures to a system of monoculturalism that the present unitary system of government in Nigeria is designed to promote.

Its time to correct this imbalance in the Nigerian constitution. the ogonis has made the first move - lets watch and see the federal governments move.

I don't envy the president of Nigeria now cause the ogonis just put him between the devil and the deep blue sea.

any move from GEJ, be it right or wrong, will attract heavy criticism - if GEJ doesn't react, and the ogonis went ahead to create their own constitution to guide them, the northers will raise alarm citing favourtism from the president[forgetting that they are the first to declare autonomy by initiating sharia in some states in the north]

on the other hand, if GEJ should send soldiers to discourage them, Nigerians will say he is killing his own people and the ogonis will seek protection under UN on grounds of acts of genocide on their people [citing many atrocities meted against them by the Federal Republic of Nigeria] based on the resources they have, the US and other world powers may be compelled to support them to attain full independence from Nigeria. once ogoni peoples succeeds in their quest, that will be the end of Nigeria as we know it!

I Will look for the maps to support my post!


I HOPE AM NOT HIGH ON THAT STUFF MUSIWA USE TO TAKE!
