You always say you are not a Nigerian. Yet you have investments in Nigeria, travel abroad and return to the country. What then are you?

I am an Ijaw man. Ijaw people are not Nigerians. People become members of a nation either by birth or naturalization. No person can impose nationality on another. What has happened is that the Nigerian nationality is being imposed on Ijaw people and others. According to the treaties that our forefathers signed and which ended in 1893, there is no provision in those treaties for anything known as Nigeria.

But did your father say he was not a Nigerian too?

My father can choose to say what he likes. Somebody can accept slavery. Somebody can accept second-class citizenship. Somebody can accept to be nobody. That is the person’s business. But another can say, no I won’t take such. There is a move by Texas to leave the United States of America. Quebec has continuously called for a referendum to leave Canada. If there is a level political playing field, they will allow for a sovereign national conference and a referendum to decide whether the Ijaw and other people want to be included forcefully in the entity called Nigeria or not.

Seems like all of NL reset to a few days prior. That's too bad though, because this was a good discussion.

Why was this done in non-Ngwa? Anyway, no problem. . . Would have been much more appealing, had it been done in pure, unadulterated Ngwa, though, but oh well. What's done is done.

Very true. My people's amaala meeting is a sad testament to that. As for Ezeuche, I used to ignore him, until his banter about Aba and Ngwa turned into something much more than banter, but that's a different discussion.
