From Femi Folaranmi, Yenagoa

The leadership of Ijaw nation has met with the British government seeking support to leave Nigeria and end the suffering of the people.

A delegation of the Ijaw leadership led by the President of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Prof Benjamin Okaba made this known during a meeting with representatives of the British High Commission led by Mr John Kekeh, at the Ijaw House in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

Okaba who presented a seven-page address on behalf of the Ijaw nation to the British High Commission delegation lamented that the British government abandoned the Ijaw people after deceiving them to join Nigeria with the assurance that they would be well taken care of.

The Ijaws in their summation said the people are no longer at ease with the contraption called Nigeria.

“Again in the light of truth, good conscience, fairness, equity and justice would the British people and her government be perpetually silent and feign ignorance to the excruciating plight of the Ijaw people.

“Furthermore, perhaps the once colonial masters would with all intent and purpose act to rescue the ugly situation- may we ask if not now then when?

“We are indeed eager and anxious to know: is your intervention coming when we are completely ripped off our God given Oil and Gas natural resources and abandoned to our fate in a wallowing and criminally degraded environment without remediation.

“In all honesty, would that not be a crime against humanity where the British government would be seen as accomplices,” he said.

Okaba while reiterating that the Ijaw people would leave Nigeria peacefully and legally called on the British government to come and undo what they did decades ago by forcing them into Nigeria.

“The visitation is about us telling them that you (British) brought us into Nigeria and they should play their role to take us out of this country. The British have the moral duty to take us out. We were deceived to join Nigeria; they abandoned us and deceived us. Let them do the needful. As Ijaw people we are tired of this country. We have suffered in this country; we have carried the burden of this nation on our shoulders for too long.

We have placed minimum conditions. The first condition is the restoration of true federalism. Number two, we have to be placed not as balkanised people. We cannot be scattered into different states and make us minorities and slaves. We cannot be slaves in a place where our resources are used to sustain the people. It is unacceptable.

So Ijaw people are saying to the Federal Government that if this minimum requirement is not met, we are no longer committed to the Nigerian project. And that if we are leaving as Ijaw republic, we shall do it peacefully and legally. This is the message we are sending to the British High Commission and to the British Government to come and undo what they did.”

Kekeh in his response promised to deliver the message back to the leadership of the British High Commission.

This is the real pain of Fulanis.
If Igboho & Nnamdi Kanu's secessionist agenda hadn't awoken the NigerD, Buhari wouldn't have felt bothered about Igboho & Nnamdi Kanu.

Now,with the Ijaws demanding for their own country,free oil to the fulanis will be taken away from their mouth hence unbearable to them.
That is why they decided to attack Kanu/Igboho head-on this time.

Please don't call my people drunkards.

Everybody wants to leave this shithole except Hausa/ Fulani, Buhari Media Cow, BMC and MUMURIC

Nobody wan remain for Nigeria again
1. Biafra.
2. Oduduwa.
3. Ibom republic.
4. Ijaw republic.
5. Middle belt and counting.....

The funny thing is how all of them are queueing up behind Igbos/Biafra.

Not jst ijaws every southern part of Nigeria need to join hands and approach Britain in one voice

If they are not in support of breakup then they should stop selling weapons to the terrorist north. I want to see how they will win the south without air power

Ordinary ESN was hard for them to weaken without air support.

What has Ijaw people been waiting for? Imagine having enough oil in your land to turn you to Dubai but cowardice will not let you act.

Imagine the leader of Ijaws Edwin Clark was unaware of what is contained in the PIB that has dragged on for over 10yrs. A failed leader indeed!

So Nnamdi Kanu is older than Adaka Boro. Go back to your drug pushing, Emekus �

I love this.
Oduduwa republic
Biafra
Ibom republic
Ijaw Republic.

I love it this way. Be bold enough to stay on your own, that's how it's done in Europe. Others that feel they can't stay alone should choose where they wanna stay. People should stop hiding under an artificial Niger delta Republic , everybody answer him papa name. I'm waiting to see ikwerre republic lmao. They better go with the ijaws o.

the ijaw leaders are the most selfish. They rather collect crumbs from the fulani and be shouting one Nigeria while the only thing there youth get is contract to guard pipelines.

The only solution to equity and justice is for Nigeria to breakup. Some people in the upper Chambers have already agreed on the PIB to get 30% on oil revenue to search for non existent oil in the north.

Yet, where the oil comes from gets 13% percent! The north have shown that they are leeches and cannot leave oil money at any cost.

Only a mentally unstable southerner wants to remain in Nigeria

Adaka Boro also fought for one Nigeria, alongside the Fulanis

Common keep your mouth shut Jare! Look at this kai kai and Ogogoro sipping local fisherman champion, Igbo people dey talk you sef wan yarn. Abeg, go and paddle your wooden canoe and look for where to cast your net.

Una don wake?

It’s a good move but we all know that this is a format they want to use in cashing out

Nigeria must either be restructured or divided wether buhari likes it or not

[Baby factory, slave to ijaws, you don land? Landlocked evil forest small hut, how market? Dem don catch albino runaway thief o. Na toto dem use hook am for Kenya. Make I laff small in amadioha

Nobody be slave.
(Except you want to be though; then, you're free. )

For where stop disturbing yourself man.

good. I pray it comes to fruition. if we can't respect each other and stay as one, then it is better we all go our separate ways for the sanity of our kids.

I thought arresting Nnamdi Kanu will stop all forms of agitations in Nigeria. Why is so many other ethnic nationality coming up with separation agenda. Nnamdi Kanu is not the problem of present day Nigeria, the problems are nepotism, injustice, hatred for some, selfish leaders, oppression, inequality etc. Address these and see that agitations will die a natural death. It is not everything you use power to achieve.

A court that was not being presided over, by either Ojukwu or Ironsi, sentenced him to death.

Ironsi commuted his sentence to life imprisonment.

your insulting and condescending tone towards the Ijaw people is exactly why we and other tribes in the SS support your Biafra struggle but will never a part of that contraption. The same way Fulani's look down on other Nigerians will be the same way you Igbos will look down on Ijaws and other minorities in your Biafra. Settle your matter and leave we Ijaws alone
