I'm not an Ijawman myself, but when I see Ijaws/Bayelsans generally, they are just like other Southern Nigerians, but with a different language and some distinct cultural peculiarities. As they live by the sea, they are excellent fishermen, boatmen and swimmers.


When thinking of prominent people from Ijawland/Bayelsa state, I think of people like:


A) Late Major Isaac Adaka Boro - Ijaw freedom fighter, who declared the Niger Delta Republic in 1966, but later fought on the federal side in the civil war, where he lost his life.

B) J. P. Clark - Playwright and poet and elder statesman of Nigerian literature, who joined Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe to plead for late Gen Mamman Vatsa's life over the alleged coup plate against Gen Ibrahim Babangida in 1986. In 1968 he wrote and published America, Their America, a travelogue based on his experiences
in America, which caused great controversy in the literary world. I would really like to read this book, as I have heard of it many years ago, but unable to locate a copy. J.P. Clark aslso wrote the The Ozidi Saga - an epic of Ijaw oral history in 1966.

C) Prof Tam David-West - Petroleum Minister under General Buhari, Minister of mines, power, and steel under General Babangida's presidency in the 1980s. He was accused of economic crimes and arrested by Babangida's regime, but was later cleared. I believe he was a man of great competence and integrity, though he wasn't really recognised or appreciated.

D) Mujahid Dokubo-Asari - Ijaw freedom fighter who brought Nigeria's operations to a standstill in 2002/2003, after his group NDPVF(Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force) attacked oil installations. It took the intervention of some foreign countries to bring Nigeria's government at the time to negotiate with NDPVF, because their attacks had destabilised world oil prices.

E) Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan - President of Nigeria 2010 - 2015. A scholar, a fisherman and a politician. The first elected president to peacefully handover to another elected president, without challenging the result. Like him or not, he has earned his place in Nigeria's democratic history.

F) Gabriel Okara - Poet and novelist, another elder statesman of Nigerian literature.

G) DSP Alamieyeseigha - Former Nigerian Air Force officer, later on became a politician and governor of Bayelsa state. Supposedly was the political Godfather of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

I) Alfred Diete-Spiff - The Amayanabo of Twon-Brass, a former military officer and first Military Governor of old Rivers State. Indeed, he was the first ever Rivers State governor, period!


Thats all I can think of right now.
