Because Ijaw a major tribe in Nigeria is only interested in In Republic.





*THE IJAW SELF- DETERMINATION (IJAW REPUBLIC) AND THE LOVERS OF IJAW NATION* *ORGANIZATION* *(LINO).*
*A MUST READ FOR ALL IJAWS .*





Every Ijaw that read this article should please forward it to all Ijaw groups, forward it to your Ijaw friends and family, even try and print copies to the nearest Ijaw.
This article carries everything all Ijaws need know concerning our full time stand in the Nigerian system at present.



The Izon tribe, otherwise known as Ijaw as being Anglicized by the English people is said to be the 4th largest tribe in the area called Nigeria that comprise of over 370 different tribes. This is a tribe that is well known for the enormous economic benefits it brings to the Nigerian question but unfortunately for Ijaw, it does not have much to show for this massive natural resources as given by God, of the uncountable levels of marginalizations it receives from the Nigerian question.



As the said 4th largest tribe, it is supposed to have different states as it was given to similar larger tribes even before it, but the reverse is the case.
Ijaws were instead unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States of the Nigerian question even when all Ijaw areas are fully together and are not scattered by God all to weaken Ijaw unity because Ijaw produce roughly over 85 percent of Nigeria's crude oil both onshore and offshore and they believe that putting Ijaw as politically well arranged will strengthen Ijaw more, hence the unjust balkanizations but fortunately for Ijaw, the unending agitations for Self Determination in Nigeria is showing good light even for the future of Ijaw.



The Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization (LINO) created to see to it that the Ijaw Nation is always united, organized and balanced in all aspects and at all times with Owouwari Tari David (General Ditari) from Kolokuma Clan as President and Joseph Sukubo from Kalabari Clan as Vice President, the group decided that Ijaw deserve to be world best and the organization work on it that way but LINO discovered that Nigeria hold Ijaw even by the neck and Ijaw cannot become world best, hence the only solution for Ijaw is the Self Determination and in connection to this notion, the LINO, through the Apex Ijaw Socio-Cultural Organization in the land, the Ijaw National Congress (INC) have taken the Ijaw Republic struggles to Abuja High Court and we have Suit for Referendum in Abuja High Court.
LINO has also given the Ijaw Republic Documents to the United Nations through Ijaws in Diaspora.
The Ijaw Republic is bigger than the 53 smallest countries in the world including Isreal, Luxembourg and Switzerland (Ethnicity Ijaw 100 percent) of which Luxembourg and Switzerland are the first and second richest countries in the world and Isreal is a world well known power.



Rwanda, the 53 smallest country in the world is 26,000 km².
Only Nigeria's Bayelsa is 10,773 km² without adding the Ijaw areas in Nigeria's Ondo, Edo, Delta, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States, on this note, it is clear that Ijaw Republic is bigger than the 53 smallest countries in the world.



It is of no doubt that the Ijaws are not the only group asking for Self Determination in Nigeria.
Nigeria have Oduduwa, Biafra, Middle Belt Group among others already seriously agitating for their various Republics.
Yugoslavia in Europe shared into 7 countries and population wise, it was Lagos size and Area size, it was smaller than Nigeria's Middle Belt (North Central).
Unfortunately for the LINO, the Ijaw struggles is not moving forward even as fast as it should be or as fast as the other Self Determination areas in Nigeria all because of so many Ijaws not fully being party enough even to this struggles for Ijaw total liberation.



LINO also work on a language engineering central dialect for Ijaw that will be inclusive of all the 86 clans of Ijaw.
It will belong to none while still belonging to all.
The clans still keep their clan's dialects and this will just be central dialect when two random Ijaws meet each other anywhere in the world.
Central Chinese, English and Hebrew were done through language engineering even central Igbo in Nigeria's area too.
Language is just 3 to 6 months, if steadily learned, a person can read, write and even interpret it.
This central dialect that LINO work on will create employments for Ijaws through the balanced movie industry, balanced music industry and language teaching sector all over the Ijaw Nation among other ways and this will save Ijaw language already dying out and Ijaw will be united and be able to speak in one voice and tongue in a way that it has never been.
The projects that the LINO work on for Ijaw are so many that they are uncountable. It Is all to see to it that Ijaw becomes world best.



The Ijaw Nation is made up of 86 clans under Ijaw Apex Socio Cultural Organization with over 2000 villages and settlements with the largest clan being the Egbema clan with over 350 villages and settlements.
It is clear that this 2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria will not make Nigeria better and in connection to this, LINO is arranging Ijaw to be well arranged politically under, even for the course of Ijaw Republic so that If the independence is suddenly granted, Ijaw will not be in confusion and unprepared.



The LINO have now sensitized so many Ijaws that so many now greatly believe in the works of LINO for Ijaw and on the standing for Ijaw rights at all times.
But the numbers are still not enough when compared to over 35 million Ijaws that exists worldwide.
Below are the political structures of the Ijaw Republic that were properly arranged by the LINO.

In the Ijaw Republic Political Structures as arranged by LINO and in the Political Structure of our Country Ijaw Republic,

National equals to Federal.

Regional equals to Geo-Political Zones


Provincial equals to States


Municipals, equals to LGAs


Wards are Wards.




The Constitution of the Ijaw Republic will be one that when it is time for Eastern Region to produce President, all candidates that are coming for the Presidential Office must be of the Eastern Region and by then, the Vice must be of the Central or Western, while the Senate President will come from the other Region that do not have the President or Vice.
In each Government, the President, Vice and Senate President one must at least come from each of the three Regions.




The LINO National President is from Kolokuma Clan, Central Region, the Vice President is from Kalabari Clan, Eastern Region and the National Secretary is from Seimbiri Clan, Western Region.



Each Region will hold the Presidency for two tenures of four years each, making 8 years.
Each of the 21 Provinces (7 for each Region), brings 2 Senators and 4 House of Representatives.
Making 42 Senators that goes to the National Assembly and 84 House of Representatives that goes to the Regional Assembly.




2 Municipals (LGAs) produce one Assembly member that go to the Provincial (State) Assembly.
Each Municipal (LGA) have six wards and each ward have a Councillor that goes to the Municipal (LGA) Assembly.





The Army headquarters is Koluama.

Navy Headquarters is Finima

And the Airforce Headquarters is Ofunama.


The three Regional Capitals are placed in the centre area of the Regions.
There is no where in the world where desert is more populated than riverine areas that Ijaw live in.
That minority tag is used as pari paso to the balkanization of Ijaw.
They work hand in hand.
They do all these even to marginalize Ijaw more.



We have started living like a Republic.
No Ijaw ever joined and signed that 1914. Amalgamation documents.
Nevertheless, Nigeria expired by 2014 as written in the book of Lord Lugard the Amalgamator titled Dual Mandate of British Tropical Africa.




We Ijaws produce over 85 percent of all Nigeria's crude oil, both onshore and offshore but were unjustly balkanized into six states when all Ijaw areas are fully together.
The new Central Dialect being worked on in preparation for the best Ijaw Republic will set so much things right for all Ijaws.
Ijaw Republic will be very successful even more than Europe countries because everything that the best European Countries did to get that successful, we see them done in Ijaw.




Nigeria's Offshore oil go with Ijaw Republic apart from the ones on Ijaw Republic main land because we are the ones sharing main borders with the whole Ocean.
If not for the balkanization of Ijaws in our more like former country Nigeria, many Nigeria's South South States would have been landlocked like Nigeria's South East states.

Ijaw Republic is our home.


Ijaw our past, Ijaw our present, Ijaw our future.


May God bless all patriotic Ijaws.



The Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization (LINO) aim to see to it that Ijaw become world best and the group is already greatly working towards this vision.
But many of our problems still connects to so many Ijaws joining us even to see to it that we Ijaws become fully free and for us to take the sensitizations to all nooks and crannies of Ijaw, it involves finance but unfortunately for us financial limitations are part of LINO main problems.
If the people that reads it can work on it to see to it that it gets to more Ijaws, it will improve the course.
The Ethnicity of Ijaw Republic is Ijaw 100 percent.



Please, we implore and solicit for your activeness as a true Ijaw person by joining into this moving train that heads for Ijaw total freedom from all forms of oppressions and injustice. Please, join us in this vision for Ijaw total liberation from the Nigerian shackles.
It will go a long way even on the course of Ijaw as being worked upon by LINO.



You can follow LINO on Facebook @Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization (LINO).
The Twitter name is Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization (LINO).



LINO have similar structures like that of the INC and IYC and
In their place of Zones, we use Regions.
Western Region (Nigeria's Ondo, Edo, Delta Ijaws).
Central Region (Nigeria's Bayelsa, Ahoada West Ijaws).
Eastern Region (Nigeria's Rivers, Akwa-Ibom Ijaws).


If we can join hands and work together even to see Ijaw freedom, nothing can stop us from getting it. All hands on deck.



Ijaw our past, Ijaw our present, Ijaw our future.


Ijaw Republic we know.
Ijaw Republic our home.
