The Ijaw people have reaffirmed their commitment to the struggle for self-determination and resource control, saying nothing would deter them from actualizing emancipation from the grip of the Nigerian State.

They stated this in a communique issued after the one-day All Ijaw Summit themed, ‘The Nigerian State and the Ijaw Question’, which was organised on Saturday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, by the Ijaw National Congress (INC).

Professor Benjamin Okaba, the President of INC, who read the communique before newsmen at the Ijaw House, said the Ijaw people’s right to self-determination, access and control of their resources is inalienable and backed by several international laws.

Okaba said the Federal Government had poorly and unsatisfactorily managed the country’s ethnic diversity, which had resulted in agitations over marginalization, and ignited separatist tendencies among major ethnic nationalities.

He stated that the Nigerian federation had been an aberration as it does not conform to all known principles of federalism, which emphasize the division of powers between the central government and the constituent units on a coordinated and independent basis.

Okaba said, “the Ijaw ethnic nationality can no longer bear the grave injustices, impunity, flagrant nepotism, marginalization, neglect, oppression and enslavement by the Nigerian state.”

He further said the Ijaws would stop depending on the Federal Government for the protection of their environment, stressing that an environmental protection strategy would be evolved to safeguard sustainable Ijaw land for future generations.

The communique read in part, “The Ijaws resolve from this summit to employ all peaceful, diplomatic, non-violence and other tools of disobedience to pursue and actualize our right to self-determination as a distinct people of common historical and cultural affinity and geographical contiguity.

These are the people that should be in the forefront of the fight for self-determination, not Biafra or Oduduwa. They'll be the highest gainers.

Waste of time.

That's how ur traditional culture looks like clown to us

Another joke... The whole of Ijaw and south south region love bribe! Any time they come up with oil related issues or any self-determination agenda they end keeping mute after one month once bribed. Their dubious attitude is why NDDC is at the state it is right now. Hungry men.

This is why we advise you people not to drink too much gin. You really think the Ijaws can annex land from the Edo's, the Urohobo's, the Igbos and the Yoruba!! Make I laugh in Russian! If you guys try it, all the above mentioend groups will simply unite and CRUSH you guys. Just Edo and Urohobo alone will drive you into the ocean.
