Abua National Council Aplauds Ijaw Council For Deleting Abua As Ijaw Clan by MyopicMods: 7:56am On Nov 27, 2021 |
ABUA NATIONAL COUNCIL (ANC) APLAUDS IJAW NATIONAL COUNCIL (INC) FOR DELETING AND REMOVING ABUA AS A CLAN UNDER IJAW FROM IT'S CONSTITUTION. I wish to use this very proud and enviable platform of Abua people both at home and the Diaspora to officially thank the Ijaw National Congress - the apex sociocultural organization of the Ijaw ethnic nationality for heeding to the voice of reason and DELETING ABUA from The Constitution of the Ijaw National Congress, 2019. It would be recalled that on the 27th of December 2017, I had approached the court in Suit No: PHC/3944/2017 (Royal Mogeni Appia vs Ijaw National Congress) asking the court to compel the Ijaw National Congress to appear before it and defend itself for proclaiming Abua a 'Clan' of the Ijaw in its January 10, 2009 constitution that became the root of all citations that claim Abua people to be Ijaws. For the avoidance of doubt, the Ijaw, through their apex sociocultural organization, the Ijaw national Congress had in page 8 of their January 10, 2009 Constitution declared in article 10, Under Clan Level of Congress, that: "The following clans / sub-clans, groups of clans are hereby recognized within the three Zones of Congress as listed below and shall each operate as a Clan level of Congress and for this purpose be called a clan". They then went on to list ABUA in their CENTRAL ZONE in the same article 10 as a " Clan" of the Ijaw ethnic nationality among other Ijaw clans in Bayelsa State. As a historian with speciality in the intergroup relations of the ancient peoples of Delta, I found that extremely insulting and provocative to a people with an enviable history that spans over three thousand years. Thus, I south amongst others: 1. A DECLARATION that the Ijaw National Congress (INC) Constitution 2009/Article that cite/define Abua as a clan in Ijaw is illegal, null and void. 6. AN ORDER restraining the Defendant by himself, it's affiliates or through proxy from further publishing and addressing Abua as a clan under Ijaw or any other tribe . It is gratifying to learn through the Constitution of the Ijaw National Congress, 2019 a copy of which I have just been availed, that the Ijaw National Congress, on the eve of the judgement that was delivered 9 July 2019 - precisely on Friday, June 28, 2019 hurriedly amended it's constitution and DELETED ABUA from the entire document as I sought. My sincere thanks goes to all the eminent and distinguished Ijaw leaders of thought who participated as members of the Constitution Review Committee. Now, knowing whom we are as ABUA people - that our future is in our hands - we can now stand up, irrespective of how difficult, time consuming and painful it would be and redefine ourself. We can now - as unaligned group, lay claim to being marginalized and hope to be accorded the recognition we deserve. We can now than ever, fight our way to genuine, and unlimited prosperity, closing ranks as equals to any group we chose to partner with rather than being coarsed into a relationship wherein we were being considered to be a subservient and beggarly group. This does not however, in anyway imping on the right of any Abuan to in exercise of his freedom of association, identity with the Ijaw National Congress. What it does however, is that SUCH PERSONS CAN ONLY DO SO ON THEIR PERSONAL CAPACITY. Therefore, henceforth, the presence of Chapter(s) of the Ijaw National Congress in Abua should not be misinterpreted to mean that Abua people are Ijaws. It is the right of any socio-cultural organization to establish Chapter(s) anywhere in Nigeria including in Abua Land. After all, in Article 11 (b) i & ii of the new constitution (The Constitution of the Ijaw National Congress, 2019), the Ijaw National Congress has assured that their presence in a given territory should not be misconstrued to mean expression of ownership of such teritory by the Ijaw. Hear them; i. There shall be a Chapter of the Congress in a town or village which is not within or completely within the recognized Clans of Congress provided that the participating membership of Congress in the town or village is not less than One Hundred (100) persons. ii. Such town or village where a Chapter is established shall not be wholly indigenous to Ijaw territory. I celebrate the Ijaw National Congress for this bold step. I thank the Ijaws for by the tenets of their new constitution (The Constitution of the Ijaw National Congress, 2019), admitting that Abua is a distinct tribe and ethnic nationality from the theirs. I thank the now, late, Chief Ishmeal Alali Sampson, the delectible Chief Raymond Tom Oyil and the Abua Youth Council Worldwide under the dynamic leadership of Comrade Odema Ipeghan Matthew for rising to the challenge when it mattered most and given me the support I so dearly needed. Our Abua identity is our first heritage. I thank Abua for Abua for the opportunity to express myself. Abuan Eboom!

Many more to go. Below is the true lingusitic representation of coastal areas of Rivers State. The Ijaws have been claiming all the different tribes there as Ijaw clans when clearly they are not. Isn't it preposterous how Ijaws have been claiming Obolos who clearly are not related to Ijaw in any way? One by one the truth will be revealed for all to see. 10 Likes

For those who don't know, Abua history tells of a migration from either Cameroon or the Efik area thousands of years ago. It is even possible the Izon met the small Abua group on the coast on their arrival. So it us insulting to say that Abua is Ijaw. This is only the beginning of the destruction of the Ijaw hegemony in the Niger Delta. 9 Likes |
