A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Friday, adjourned the hearing on the suit filed by the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) seeking a referendum to determine the fate of Biafra and other self-determination agitations to March 30, 2023. A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Friday, adjourned the hearing on the suit filed by the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) seeking a referendum to determine the fate of Biafra and other self-determination agitations to March 30, 2023. It would be recalled that the CNG, in June 2021, dragged the National Assembly and the Attorney-General of the Federation to court, asking it to compel the defendants to halt the ongoing constitutional review exercise and in its place, conduct a referendum to ascertain “what determines Nigeria and who populates it.” The case was adjourned after the court presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo could not sit as scheduled. Counsel to CNG, Sufiyanu Gambo Idris, said: “The case is slated for March 30, 2023, even though they informed us, right from the time, that the court is not going to seat, but as we are not informed of any day, I decided to come down to ensure that I take the date. But, even before I arrived, the date was already slated”. In his remarks, the counsel to the Ibom Nation People Movement, Adesina Oke, said: “We are here, having realised there is a suit, which has to do with the issue of self-determination. We felt the best thing to do is to ensure we join in the suit for determination of what we have been asking for. “The Ibom people have been there for many years and is one of the ethnic groups that has such a history. It is important that they can see that the court can determine whether that self-determination is something that could be granted to us or not. “The application is before the court and the court is here to determine the joining of the Ibom People’s Movement in the suite that is at present constituted. But, we are hoping that by the time we are being added, just like any other application from other ethnic nationality, we are going to have a bite of the cherry for this issue that is pending before the court. “A lot of ethical nationalities are also asking for a referendum to seek self-determination and have unhindered access to their resources. “You can always imagine that a lot of resources are within the confines of Ibom, Akwa Ibom people of over nine million, but a few of them are integrated into the Nigerian system. Also speaking, the Coordinator, Akwa Ibom Human Rights Community, Clifford Effiong Thomas, said Nigeria has embedded in her all the resources required to function effectively as a people. He lamented the current structure of Nigeria, adding that what the nation needed was “true federalism and a central government on the basis of the country’s comparative advantage.” He said: “As a member of Ibom nation, I want to say very clearly that Ibom nation is not just confined to Akwa Ibom, but we have spread to Rivers and elsewhere. “We are not quarrelling with Nigeria as an entity, but as a nation and ethnic nationality we are saying that the laws, should give us the right to live independently. We have the right to negotiate with our neighbours to say we are interested in living together as a country.” However, another member of Ibom Nation People’s Movement, Edemma Udoh, said: “The right of self-determination is not something that we should beg for because it is something that Nigeria is a signatory to, if you look around what is happening in Nigeria, every election in the country is about ethnicity and religion

tommy589:did you read what I wrote their? |
tommy589:eastern region stopped existing since 1966 when Adaka Boro used force.. Nigeria was divided into three regions in year 1950s...namely the north, west and east. Ijaw people were divided into the two regions west and east. Ijaws in the eastern region agitate for a separate region because of the oppression of the igbos. Like wise Ijaws of the western region also agitate for sperate region so as join with their Ijaw brothers. So later Yorubas allowed the Ijaws and other tribes in the western region to go formed what is called midwestern region......but the igbos in other part refused because of oil. So it became a war to war agitation. That's why Adaka Boro came up with arm agitation which the king pharaoh igbos will understand........so Adaka Boro arm agitation led to the forceful creation of the old rivers state by gowon.........it was this creation of the rivers people out of the egyptian eastern region that caused the biafra war.. After an agreement in ghana that the sperate region Ijaws are agitating for should never create so as to remain an indivisible easstern region,,,,,,but when gowon came back to nigeria,,Ijaw leaders like Dapper Biriye and others Pressure gowon to breach that ghana agreement.....that why ibos and ibibios used war... So eastern region is a satanic and demonic region that has been long abolished due to it numerous crimes against humanity. eastern region only exist in the myopic minds of the king pharaoh igbos. So don't mind them when social media and be shouting yeastern yeastern..... |

Well, the Elders Chiefs and Peoples Conference was a private sector and indigenous organisation. You can see the word there – Ijaw Rivers Peoples League – the tribe known as Ijaw was the most disabled, and Rivers was then the name given to us by our neighbours as waterside people. so you can now see that we make sure that we capture both the Ijaw tribe that was floating around and the Rivers people who had always been around here but they were not specifically Ijaws." "So the Ijaw-Rivers Peoples League was formed in 1941 under my father’s leadership, and it grew up as a geo-political programme, not necessarily a political party. However, from 1941 to 1950, it remained a purely geo-political programme of these people, and some of us who felt we should have a political front had to develop what was known as Rivers State Congress." "On the concept of this new movement, I had to suggest that the individual programme of the Ijaw-Rivers people should remain, and since most of the people were civil servants, they couldn’t come into purely political party, and since our aim was to have a Rivers State, and a Rivers Province had been formed but overtaken by circumstances those who were not purely civil servants agreed that we form a Rivers State Congress, and I think I was appointed the secretary. Chief Inko-Tariah was made the Chairman. The congress moved on from 1951 to 1953." "Other members of the congress included people like one Egi of Nembe. in fact people came from each of the areas: there were a bit of the people from Ogoni like S.F. Nwika who was a member of the Legislative Council. I must not forget that some Ikwerre people were equally in the forefront like Chief E.J. Oriji and some of their brilliant undergraduate lawyers and politicians. You may know that the condition for political development as we moved on to 1956 were dictated from Britain, and they were that we should have a constitutional review in 1953. That programme took place in London, but could not conclude and so, it came back to Nigeria in 1954. but of course in that 1954 they agreed that there will be a constitutional conference in 1956. So, the composition of the 1956 Constitutional Conference was now to reflect substantial shades of political opinions in Nigeria. but this gave us a little bit of puzzle. We had developed ourselves but we knew that we couldn’t develop into substantial shades of political opinion." "What I thought they mean by that was those who were the majority party in the legislature either as majority or opposition party – this was how we conceived it, and now, I decided to make up the question of treaties, knowing that Lugard when he was in Nigeria started by signing treaties with various people, and the treaty he signed with the north was that of cession of their territory in addition to ceding their political rights.but down the coast, he did not sign treaties of cession, he signed treaties of friendship and protection. And putting all these together, they formed substantial shades of political opinion in Nigeria. You see, government interpreted this as the rights of chiefs in the three different regions to be involved in constitution making from 1956 upwards. So, Britain and Nigerian governments, including the regional governments agreed that in each region there should be two chiefs. For the Western Region, the Ooni of Ife and the Ewi Ado-Ekiti were chosen. For the Northern Region, the Emir of Katsina and the Emir of Kano were chosen, while in the Eastern Region, government made sure that the Rivers territory was reserved to have one seat, and the rest of Eastern region to have one seat. So, in the Rivers territory, Kings and peoples of that territory decided that Biriye should go and represent them. For the rest of the Eastern region, a man called Chief Eyo Essien of Uyo was made to go and represent them because he was the President, Eastern Chiefs Conference." "Before this concept of two chiefs was allowed, Chief Essien had been the President of Eastern Chiefs Conference, so they could not dislodge him at that stage – long laughter…. Wha |
Dapper Biriye was born 26th of September, 1920, and so, they will start the week 10 days before that date, at Peterside-Bonny. I am a Bonny man, and I’m sure you know that. So, from the Bible as well as the Quoran, the length of what God gave to somebody at the age of 80, that person was Moses, and we were told that Moses did to God some special grace by which he was able to save the Israelites in Egypt from Pharaoh. And he had a magic wand, which he Moses brushed the Red Sea in search of what was called the Land of Canaan. "So, you see some of us who are Christian minded think about some of these important events. I’m a Christian, I’m an Anglican, and obviously I stick very strictly to where my parents brought me up in. I’m not a gambler who gambles into every Christian denomination. However, what I’m saying is that to me and to some Christians like me, this symbolic year in the Bible has meaning and the relevance of the 80th year to me is that it has to be ceremonies. That is why I listened to the South-South people’s conference. I would not want to expand it further, because every day of it is a little bit cumbersome, and if it can end in one day better. But since I am acting in concert with this group of people, it is their concerted view that matters to me. "I was born by, Christian parents and Christian grandparents. But certainly, it was a comfortable birth. I was born by parents who were well-to-do. My mother gave birth to about fourteen children, but of the fourteen, two were girls, twelve were boys. Many of the boys died, leaving about seven. A man born in 1920, not now, was born when Nigeria itself was dark. you managed to feel free from these dark days – today of better days of comfort and success. and when a man has gone through all that in this 80th year, he has to thank God. So when you are talking about celebrating it, I don’t celebrate what I didn’t create – this is a heritage I got from God. what I will just do is to do a ceremony for it in thanks to God." Obviously, when I was a child, I was a bit precocious because at my age of 7, I used to turn over dictionaries for my father who was a schoolmaster as well as a student. I attended Bonny Government School, and from there I went to Kings College, Lagos, which in those days was a prestigious college with a lot of facilities. However, I finished in Kings College in the middle of the Second World War. Certainly, it was a period of distress in the world." "Those who wanted to study more could not do so because they had to do it outside Nigeria, and then it was a dangerous thing to travel out to the U.K.. However, I was not keen on going abroad because I thought I had to use what I have acquired already for my good first, and then if there was need for me to have more knowledge I could go across." "So, when I returned from Kings College in 1941 December, I found out one important thing – the Ijaw tribe was very handicapped. At that time, there were 25 provinces in Nigeria, and the Ijaw tribe was scattered in three or four provinces. We were in what was known as the Calabar Province, we were in Owerri Province, we were in Warri Province. so just like that. So, obviously, we did not have a platform or bridge for collective action. I told my father and his age group that they should try and organise a front that could act as a platform for the Ijaws. So, my father’s age group formed what was called Ijaw Rivers Peoples League (IRPL)." "My father in 1941 was about 41 years having been born in 1901, and he was the President-General of the League. A man called Ebenezer Opugoloya was the deputy president. he was from Okrika. Now, the league applied in 1942 for a special 26th province, and by 1947 the province called the Rivers Province was granted. So, this was my first success, that my concept was accepted by my elders, and promoted to a point of recognition. However, by 1947, when the province was created, the problem of reorganisation had started in Nigeria, in that the British who merely formed this country wanted to talk about regrouping the provinces." "So, we were grouped into one province there in Enugu called Eastern Nigerian Provinces, and then another set of provinces in the Western Nigeria, another set in Northern region. Each of these provinces led to what became regions." "My school of thought did not quite concede to the issue of regionalism because we knew it was going to strangle the smaller group of people, and so I started what I called "stateism." I said that instead of a Rivers Province, we should have a Rivers State, and this agitation of course gained ground because the concept was accepted by lots of people down here." "You must note that I did not use my father’s platform because it was not a political party. it was just a social organisation trying to recognise the problems of the people and pursue solutions to those problems. but of course as a political visionary, I tried myself to form a political party. "By 1950, Nigeria had the first constitutional conference in Ibadan where the country discussed the political prospects of the nation and the prospects also of an executive government — how Nigeria can take part in executive government. Then, it was an executive government by the Whitman. However, the 1950 constitutional conference was approved, but was agreed that another one should be held in 1953, this time around not in Ibadan but in London. So, the London conference of 1953 could not conclude its work as it had an additional year of up to 1954 where it decided that there should be regionalism – that is the group of provinces should be called regions and would be given authority to use money released to them by the whiteman as well as the authority to organise and govern themselves, because up to 1954, the whiteman had saved up to £100 million British Pounds |
Neckpresser101:oboy don't reply me. |
God blessed Vladimir Adaka putin. |
that map is still making me to laugh. with that map, I believe ibos are in the book dream chapter 20 verse 50. They have gone deep in holy bible of dream. |
Papacypaul:lol gidgiddy if this your map, then you has gotten any map...I believe you just pretending, you don't want any division of nigeria........if you ibos want division, you will create map for your biafra republic. stopped pretending. |
Papacypaul:yes, you seem weaken him with the truth......they are one nigerinists with fulanis. anyway let me take a look at the map |
gidgiddy:oga south east is not a map na.. Where is your map? we all want nigeria to divide
|
julaion:lol, |
wasuka14:reset your brain to africa and you will uselessness in oyibo talks.. Na today we dey am? the time of ebola, we kept eating monkey. ce let me give you Ijaw water to drink, then you will not afraid of those useless sickness |
Maazieze:
|
gidgiddy:where is your biafra map? You want to go yet you don't a map. Yoruba republic has a map. Ijaw republic has a map. Where is your biafra map? it means you people never want division of the country |
RZArecta:I'm seeing Asawana in your signature and you attacking me. Who are you? |
RZArecta:who are you? What tribe are you? |
Maazieze:Ijaw republic is where I belong. |
Maazieze:can you tell me how Ijaw and igbos be political Ally? Ijaw and igbo always political enemies till 2015 igbos vote GEJ. We Ijaws had never for once the past vote for any party ibos were in... example ncnc of zik and apga of ojukwu. oya tell me once Ijaw vote these two parties? Like wise , ibos had never vote for our niger delta congress.. So which one is political Ally again.. abi u nor know history? abi u nor know your political Ally again? Or you mistaken Ijaw for ibibios? |
Papacypaul:See why I see Yorubas are better brothers to we Ijaws than the dejected abnormal ibos. See how sensible Yoruba person sound. The most annoying part of this ibos,,they never consult us before adding us to their biafra project, as if they conquered us on a time,,but ibos has never conquered Ijaw in any day, not even in the 1967 civil war,,but I don't know why they will be so bold to had Ijaw to biafra without consulting us. as for me, I do not see any difference between fulanis and igbos. I don't know why this two groups hating on each other when they all have the same mindset. |
wasuka14:thank you very much, we still eating again.. and we will eat till this world end...carry your 30 million give poor people,,,,we don't need it,,, what we need is monkey |
