Entprys:
Preach peace and stop making mouth.

Grow up

Yujin:
There are no Ijaw communities in Akwa Ibom state so any Ijaw found there formenting trouble should be dealt with seriously.
This same Ijaws were killing the Edoid people of Degema earlier this week. Ijaws are seriously looking for trouble and will get overwhelmed by it very soon.

Ijaws are like Fulani in many ways...
But Ijaws don't attack first.


Ibibio should
Stop attacking Akwa-Ibom Ijaws for their own good.
Ijaws are like Fulani oo..


Ijaw have not attacked back.
At all times Ijaw attack second..
Not first..
But know that even Bayelsa Ijaws would be in that retaliation attack if the warning is not heeded to.


Ask the ones in Ondo, Edo, Delta, Rivers and now Akwa-Ibom...


Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into six States when all Ijaws are fully together and not scattered by God.

What’s the scores and who is leading?

Abagworo:
This is what is called expansionism which all Nigerians unanimously ganged up to accuse Igbos of simply because they buy land and build home wherever their business is sited. Ironically Igbos have never forcefully claimed any territory that isn't Igbo and forcefully carried arms to subdue the indigenous people.

Hahaha

Trustalone:
This is very unnecessary

True.

Bridget95:
No one balkanized them. They are Fisher men who migrated to anywhere with water and settled to fish. Instead of living in peace with their host they are dragging lands.

That's a lie.

Go there and tell them.

Bridget95:
I jaws having issues with southsouth people everywhere.

Ondo
Edo
Rivers
Akwa Ibom
Delta

The only place indigenous to ijaw is Bayelsa state.

Why did they balkanize Ijaw into so many States when all Ijaws are fully together and not even scattered by God.

yinkus6750:
That's why development is far from some communities.
Unnecessary fight over a project that project that is yet to commence.
Greedy and selfish leaders are the ones instigating the boys

Ijaw have 7 LGAs in Akwa-Ibom..
5 Oro and 2 Obolo.


Ibibio must respect Ijaws.

IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL (IYC) EASTERN ZONE

1st March, 2024.

PRESS RELEASE

IYC EASTERN ZONE CONDEMNS IN STRONG TERM THE BRUTAL, BARBAROUS AND UNCIVILIZED KILLING AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTIES IN IBENO BY IBIBIOS IN AKWA-IBOM STATE

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Eastern Zone, strongly condemns the recent killing and destruction of properties of Ibeno people, who are Ijaw people, by the Ibibios in Akwa-Ibom State. These acts of violence and aggression towards our fellow Ijaws are unacceptable and must be immediately stopped.

The IYC Eastern Zone calls on the Ibibios to desist from their violent actions, or else they will have the Ijaw people to contend with. We will not hesitate to mobilize and support our Ijaw brothers and sisters in defending themselves and protecting their properties. We stand in solidarity with the Ibeno people and will not tolerate any further attacks on our people.

We also call on the Federal Government of Nigeria , the Akwa Ibom State Government, and all security agencies to urgently intervene and put an end to these senseless killings and destruction of properties and those orchestrating this violence should be brought to book. It is the duty of the government and its agencies to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, regardless of their ethnic background.

Furthermore, we urge all Ijaws in Akwa-Ibom State to remain calm and peaceful during these trying times. We must not let these acts of violence divide us, but instead, we must come together and unite in the face of adversity. We call on all Ijaw leaders and stakeholders to come together and find a lasting solution to this crisis.

The IYC Eastern Zone believes in non-violent means of conflict resolution, and we urge all parties involved to engage in dialogue to reach a peaceful resolution. We must not let violence and destruction be the answer to our grievances.

Also, we use this medium to remind the Ibibio people that the Ijaw people are peace loving, but we will not stand by and watch our people being attacked and killed without taking action. We implore the Ibibio people to respect the lives and properties of all citizens, including the Ijaws in Akwa-Ibom State.

Egberifa!

Signed,
Hon. Comr Tamuno Kpokpo
Chairman, IYC Eastern Zone
