. What is encroachment?



It means going beyond what naturally belongs to others





Edoland is richly blessed by nature with abundant Black Gold which is popularly
known as timber in our Forest Reserve in nearly all parts of the State, mineral deposits,
petroleum and highly fertile farm land for cultivation. It is indeed regrettable that communities
in the neighboring States have illegally infringed on the rights of the Edos by encroaching
on our God given land unchallenged, and with the affected communities watching helplessly.
This bastardized act has in no small measure robbed our children of the benefits they
would have derived from the natural wealth it has pleased God to bestow on us in the areas
being encroached upon by the invaders. Added to this, encroachment on our land has adversely
affected our ecosystem as the rationale for such encroachment is for total exploitation aimed at
amassing wealth at the expense of the Edos.



It may sound astonishing to a patriotic Edo man that effort by some of our communities to
resist such menace of encroachment by the indigenes of our neighboring states has resulted
in the killing of some of our people and properties worth several billion Naira destroyed without
meaningful intervention by those in authority. A case in point is the killing of our brothers and
sisters in Oben community of Orhionmwon local Government area few years past when the
Oben community questioned the right of the Oghara people in Delta state to farm on Oben farm land
without permission to do so, our people were attacked, killed, maimed, their houses burnt and
they were driven away from their home land. The people of Idale in the same Local Government
Were maimed, raped, killed and their properties destroyed and burnt down by their invading neighbors.
At the end, nothing happened to Ogharas and the other so called neighbors as none
of them were brought to face justice. However, the Omo NOba NEdo,
the Oba of Benin did intervene in his own way. Thanks to his majesty. In the same
Oben community, the Oghara community in Delta State also laid claim to the portion
of our land where petroleum was discovered. As at now, pipes are connected to the
oil wells in Oben through which crude oil products are drained to Delta state.






The economic advantage of this is credited to Delta State.





By it known that some Odionweres, enigies and community elders, for their selfish reasons,
are at the fore front in the sponsorship of the interlopers and encouraging them to infringe
the rights and privileges given by God to the Edos by encroaching on our land.
These unpatriotic Edo indigenes demand huge some of money from those who encroached
on our land annual homage either in cash or kind are paid to the so call Odionweres,
Enigies and elders. It is indeed very sad that in view of the fact that the past administrations
and the present administration of Edo state were aware of this inhumanity to man to which
the Edo people are subjected, they watched helplessly and allowed the interlopers to cart
away the wealth on our land.





What a shame on those who ruled Edo State before now.





It is worthy of note that the past Honorable Commissioner for Agriculture and natural Resources,
Edo State, Barrister Agbonwanegbe as courageous enough to hold the bull by the horns
when for the first time in the history of the Edo State, he invited the indigene of
Ondo and Kogi States who have converted our forest reserve to Cocoa plantations
after they had illegally exploited the logs there-in, and warned them to put a halt
to their wanton exploitations and destruction of our land, or in the alternative to pay
rents to the Edo state Government. The honorable Commissioner further warned the
unpatriotic Edos who encouraged the non-indigene of our State who encroached on our
land to stop forth with or be made to take necessary sanction. The action of the Honorable
Commissioner is commendable and a welcome phenomena and the first of its kind.

The land our forefathers fought for, jealously protected and handed over to us is now being giving out for the price of a pot of porridge by the socalled political leaders, Enigies, Odionweres, Community leaders, who are motivated by greed. This is sad and except they retreat their steps, posterity will not forgive them.

. "In 1977, the Obasanjo administration set up the Justice Mamman Nasir Boundary Commission and, following its report, the boundaries of some states were changed. Part of Western Ijaw went to Rivers State, part of Bendel went to Ondo; part of Rivers went to Cross Rivers and part of Imo went to Rivers.

Because of this, some oil wells changed hands. There was an oil well in Rivers very close to Imo and I was asked to demarcate where the oil well was actually located. After the exercise, it was found that the oil well was in Rivers.

Moreover, because parts of Bendel had gone to Ondo, there were five oil wells very close to the boundary. Initially, the Ondo people wanted the royalty to be shared 50-50 because they were very close to the boundary between both states.

In 1981, a Yoruba man (Adebekun), who was Director of Survey, wrote to the Ministry of Finance on the issue and, after charting, it was found that the oil wells were in Bendel State.

Another Yoruba man wrote to the Ministry of Finance that the Yoruba would not take this. He went to Lagos, met with the Director of Survey and reported that a Benin man was behind the charting. Then my Director said no, he charted it. In 1984, Bamidele Otiko became the military governor of Ondo State and came to Lagos to meet my Director. At the meeting, my Director told Otiko he was responsible for the charting."

POSITION OF BENIN
-----------------------------------------------
By Captain Alain Boisragon

THE Benin lies somewhere between the latitudes of 5º to 6º N. and the longitudes 5º to 6" E. In olden days it used to reach right down to the coast-line.

First of all there is Benin City and the Benin, then the Benin River, near the mouth of which is what is called New Benin, consisting of the different factories and the old Vice-Consulate House, now only used as a Custom and Post office, and finally what is known as the Benin District, under a Vice-Consul, which comprises all the country around and between Sapele and Warri.

To take the river first, which is only called the Benin River for about fifty miles, as above Sapele, which is about that distance from the sea, two smaller streams join, one of which flows from the north, being called the Jamieson, and the other from the east, the Ethiope. The Jamieson is navigable for steam launches for about thirty miles to a place called Sapobah; from there canoes can get up farther, as the river becomes but a small stream too narrow for any navigation, and overgrown with big forest trees.

The Ethiope comes into Sapele from the east, and was the south-east boundary of the Benin. On the left bank are another tribe called the Sobos (Urhobo), Sapele has now become the headquarters of the government and trade of the Benin River, the Consulate and several factories having been moved there. It is a lovely place to look at, as there is a magnificent background of huge forest trees to all the different clearings, while on the other bank is one dense mass of foliage, the forest reaching right down to the water-side.

Here, too, the water begins to become beautifully clear, and is studded every here and there with masses of water-lilies and small green islands made of water plants just peeping above the surface of the water. However lovely to look at, it is not quite so pleasant to live in, being, like all this part of West Africa, more or less unhealthy.

From Sapele a good road has been made across to Warri, about twenty-five miles distant, where is the other Protectorate Government Vice-Consulate of this part of the world. From Warri the great Niger River can be reached by water through what is called the Warri branch of the Niger, one of its numberless offshoots, and, in the event of the Niger River and Niger Coast Protectorate ever coming under the same government, would be a place of great importance, as the big main line steamers can get up easily to Warri from the Forcados River, while at present they have a little difficulty sometimes in reaching the Royal Niger Company’s depôts at Boruta, situated on the left bank of the Forcados River, and Akassa, at the mouth of the river Nun entrance of the Niger.

To return to Sapele : about eight miles below is Warrigi, where the main column of the Naval Brigade was concentrated before the advance on Benin City. Seven miles north from Warrigi is Ciri on the Ilogi Creek, where the Niger Coast Protectorate troops were, and close to Ilogbo, a town on the other bank, and which was first attacked on the advance. The Ilogi Creek here was the southern boundary of the Benin, and running up first east and then northwards comes from close to Benin City, and was the creek from which the inhabitants got their water. From Ciri it runs in a south-westerly direction, and eventually joins the Benin River about twenty-five miles lower down from Sapele.

As one goes down the Benin River all the forest land and high banks gradually disappear, and the melancholy mangrove takes the place of everything. Some twenty miles from the sea is the entrance to what is called the Forcados or Nanna’s Creek, the latter after Nanna, who until 1894, when he was smashed up and his town of Brohoemi burnt by a combined force of Naval Brigade and Niger Coast Protectorate Force, under Admiral Sir Frederick Bedford, K.C.B., was the head Jakri chief of the Benin River. This Forcados Creek is the waterway for steamers coming from the Forcados River and the sea, the bar of the Benin River being too shallow to let anything but small steamers come across it. Opposite the entrance to the Forcados Creek, which is on the left bank of the Benin River, is the entrance to the Gwatto Creek.

Farther down the river, on the same side as the Gwatto Creek, i.e. the right bank of the river, are two big creeks called respectively Adabrassi and Lagos Creeks, and amongst many others one important small one leading to Brohoemi, the town of Nanna, the chief mentioned above, and, as he thought, the only way of arriving at his town, surrounded by swamps as it was, — in fact, it was actually built on a swamp. Consequently, this creek was defended by a battery of big guns mounted behind a hidden stockade, most artistically screened so as not to be seen from the creek.
This battery fired on H.M.S. Alecto’s steam pinnace, which was

reconnoitring up the creek, and very nearly sank her, the pinnace only reaching the Alecto in a sinking condition, and with everyone on board her, some six or seven, with the exception of her commander. Captain J. Heugh, badly wounded. Amongst these was Major Crawford, who was killed in the last fatal expedition to Benin City. Unfortunately for Nanna, the force, when they eventually attacked Brohoemi, waded through the swamp, generally waist-deep in mud, and attacked from the side Nanna least expected, and on which he had got but few of his guns trained.

To return to the Benin River: on the left bank, nearly opposite the entrance to the Lagos Creek, is the Deli Creek, the route that steam launches take going to the Forcados River, but which is too narrow for steamers. Passing the Lagos Creek, and on the same bank, we come very soon to the factories and the old Vice-Consulate, which are about six miles from the mouth of the river, and which are called, as I have said, New Benin.

The Government House is only a Customs and Post-office station, part of the house and most of the outbuildings having been removed to Sapele; while, of the many factories that there used to be here, only four remain used, the rest being represented by a few remains, as trade at the mouth of the river has year by year sunk to something very small.

On the opposite side of the river to New Benin, and some way from the river bank up a small creek, is the town of Baterri, where Chief Dore, the head chief of the river since Nanna's downfall, lives. It is built on one of the few patches of solid ground to be found hereabouts, for the whole country near the coast-line is simply a network of creeks and mangrove swamp, any villages that there are being hidden some distance away from the banks of the river, or creek, and the only entrance to which is usually some insignificant-looking little creek. It is melancholy work sometimes steering through these creeks from station to station in a launch, going hours together without seeing a sign of a human being, and nothing to look at but the depressing mangrove and swamp, and smelling nothing but the still more depressing effluvia of the mud.

For many years past the way reaching Benin City was by Gwatto, which is about forty-five miles up the Gwatto Creek from its entrance into the Benin River. There the Gwatto Creek is about three-quarters of a mile wide, and surrounded by mangrove, but gradually one leaves that behind as the creek narrows, and when one gets to the Benin Country at Gwatto, or at Gele Gele, which is two or three miles nearer, one reaches once more the high banks, good solid ground, and forest country. At Gwatto the creek is about forty or fifty yards wide, and comes down from the northwards, narrowing and narrowing the farther one gets up, till it dwindles away from the source, wherever that may be.

The Gwatto Creek is called the western boundary of the Benin Kingdom. The boundaries on the north and east I do not know, except that somewhere to the north are a tribe called Mahins, who were supposed to be enemies of the Benins, but toward the north-east, in which direction the King must have fled, the country was open to him, being part of the possessions of the Benin Kingdom.

It's not just Delta that we ceded land to, we ceded to Ondo State as well.
It is however wrong to blame Obasanjo for the problem. If my memory serves me well I think this had a lot to do with those in charge of ordnance and mapping.

OBASANJO (Yoruba) stole EDOLAND AND OIL "In 1977, the Obasanjo administration set up the Justice Mamman Nasir Boundary Commission and, following its report, the boundaries of some states were changed.

Obasanjo and the Miltary Fraudulently Mastermnded the division of Edoland to Ondo/Edo/Delta

On November 13, 2011 · In Interview

By Gabriel Enogholase, Benin



MR. Daniel Aiyanyo Omoigui, father of the Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui Okauru, and former Surveyor General of the Federation, turned 80 last Thursday. In this interview on the milestone, Omoigui speaks on why students run away from mathematics and his narrow escape from death during the civil war.

He also speaks on Bakassi Peninsula, which, according to him, has never been part of Nigeria but has always belonged to Cameroun. He adds that he was forcibly retired as Director of the Federal Survey because he refused to do the bidding of a former minister that would have transferred oil wells belonging to Bendel to Ondo State.

How would you describe life at 80?

First and formost, I have to give glory and honour to God for what he has done for me. I think God has done so much for me for the past 80 years. That is my wife sitting with me here; we have been married for 53 years. Therefore, God has been very kind to me.

When I look back to those years, most of my age mates, colleagues have died; most of them did not have the opportunity of formal education, and some of them were even older than me. Therefore, when I look back, I thank God for blessing me and my family. I am now thinking of relocating back to Benin because I have been in Lagos all these years.

‘How would you describe your early school days?

I was born in the village. I did not start primary school until I was 14 years old. When I started school, I used to trek from the school, a distance of 25 kilometers on foot. Every year, precisely on May 24, we used to celebrate the Empire Day; so, to that extent, we celebrated colonialism.

Some people used to say that Nigeria getting independence from Britain was too early unlike India. There were so many good things during the colonial days; the streets were clean; the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN) was running well; the crime rate was low, etc. My parents did not go to school, but they encouraged me to go to school to learn.

What would say about your early working experience?

After my education at St. Patrick’s College Asaba in 1949, I came back to Benin- City and took a teaching appointment at Niger College, Benin, in 1950. Besides, I also read at home to prepare for my future challenges while there.In 1953, I took the entrance examination into the University College, Ibadan, passed and I took the Inter.B.Sc examination of the University of London. I entered the University College, Ibadan to read mathematics in October of that year, but, in December, the result of the Inter. B.Sc University of London came out and I passed. Therefore, I had to move to the next class and graduated in 1957.

How would you describe the Benin- City of your days as a young man?

Benin City was a very small place compared to what it is today. The whole area where we now have the Government Reservation Area (GRA) and where I now have my house was all bush; a vast rubber plantation. Boundary Road was so-called because that was the end of the GRA.

You are a graduate of Mathematics. What would you adduce for students’ hatred for the subject?

I read mathematics at the University College, Ibadan. I can tell you that one of the reasons students run away from studying mathematics is the attitude of the teacher. There was nothing like mass education in those days; there was something about the quality of the school environment; the school buildings and the teachers. At that time, even though the teachers were few, they were well trained and disciplined.

However, government’s takeover of schools from the missionaries is part of the problem we have in our educational system today. At that time, Government Colleges were very few. We had here in Benin, Edo College and Government College, Ughelli.

The missionaries then had many good schools such as St. Gregory College; Igbobi College; CMS Grammar School; Methodist College, all in Lagos; Christ the King College Onitsha, CIC Enugu, among others. These colleges have produced Nigerians that have occupied eminent positions in the country.

Therefore, if the government had allowed the missionaries to continue to run the schools, things would have been better. Every school is a government school since the takeover. I visited a school in my village some months ago and the school is now a shadow of itself, dilapidated. My junior brother, who practises medicine in England, was a product of that school, but everything there has gone under.

How did you find yourself in the Federal Service and rose to the position of Surveyor – General of the Federation?

I joined the Federal Survey Department in 1957 in Lagos and the job took me virtually to all parts of Nigeria. In 1958, I was at the Royal Military Survey Institute, London, for further studies and I came back to Nigeria in 1959. I got married to my wife in 1958 and she came to join me in the United Kingdom in 1959.

My first son, who is a cardiologist in the United States, Dr. Nowamagbe Omoigui, was born in London. When I returned to Nigeria, I was posted to Kiama in present Kwara State, but I had to leave my family behind at Ilorin.

From Kaiama, I was posted to New Bussa because the Kainji Dam was being constructed, and from New Bussa to Nikki in Benin Republic. In 1961, I returned to London as an attaché to the Director of Overseas Survey, War Office.

I found this experience very useful later in life. On my return from London, I was posted to Lagos and made the Chief Computer Analyst at the Federal Survey Department because of my background as a mathematician.

In 1964 – 65, I was posted to do Geodesic Survey throughout the country and, because of this nomadic life, I decided to keep my family in Lagos permanently. In 1966, I was posted to Makurdi to take charge as the only office outside Lagos then.

This was a very trying period in the history of the country because of the tension generated by the 1966 coup d’état. I was still in Makurdi when the second coup of July, 1966 took place and there was trouble all over the country. In September 1966, there was trouble in Makurdi and so many people were killed.

So, what was your experience during the civil war?

I would have lost my life in Makurdi if not that God used one Lt. Col. Adeniran to save our lives. At that time in Markudi, the town was essentially made up of Igbos because the Tivs were predominantly farmers. Lt. Col. Adeniran gave us non-natives a platoon of soldiers that escorted us from Makurdi to Lafia, then Suleija and to Jebba.

At Jebba, it was a terrible and horrible experience at the River Niger Bridge. People were asked to identify themselves. When I told them I was a Benin man, an army sergeant from Zuru who had lived in Benin came and spoke to me in Benin language, and I replied.

That is what saved my life. After the civil war, I started the boundary demarcation of the entire country, so, my stay in London helped me a lot in this assignment. Most of the documents today on boundary demarcation were produced by my team.

Then you were involved in the demarcation of the boundary between Nigeria and Cameroun Yes. In August 12 – 14 ,1970, the first meeting of the Nigeria/Cameroun Boundary Committee took place in Beau, Yaoundé. The Nigerian delegation was led by the late Chief R.O Coker.

I was like the technical secretary to the committee. There were representatives from the Customs. Immigration, Cabinet Office in the delegation. When we came back from Yaoundé, the delegates from the External Affairs Ministry did their report to their Commissioner, the late Dr. Okoi Arikpo, who then wrote to the Commissioner for Justice and Attorney – General of the Federation, Dr. Teslim Elias, for his opinion on the Nigeria/Cameroun boundary issue. Elias’ reply has remained a landmark legal opinion that Nigerian has no claim to Bakassi peninsula; that all we needed to do was the maritime boundary between both countries.

The General Yakubu Gowon administration followed Dr. Elias’ opinion. From 1970 -1975 when General Gowon was removed from office, I took part in the negotiations.

I have all the documents. What Gowon did then was to convene a meeting of the Supreme Military Council to brief them on the legal opinion and Col. Olusegun Obasanjo, as he then was, was the Commissioner for Works while Col. Murtala Muhammed, as he then was, was the Commissioner for Communications.

I was then the Assistant Director in charge of the Mapping Section at the Federal Survey Department and, in 1978, Chief Coker retired from the service and my colleague (Mr. Adebekun) took over as Director of Federal Surveys.

In 1979, we had a civilian administration and, in 1981, the Cameroonian gendarmes invaded Nigeria and five of our soldiers were killed. With my experience, even though not heading the maritime section, I was requested by the National Assembly to tell them the exact location where the killings took place.

I told them it was in Cameroun, east of Ekang. Although they knew it was in the Cameroun, they started to flex muscles. When Buhari took over in 1984, he set up a task force on Nigeria’s boundary with Chad Republic and I was a member of the task force.

It was then we knew that Richard Akinjide had sought the opinion of a Cambridge Director for his opinion. I was then brought in to supervise the technical report while the main report did agree with Elias that Bakassi was in Cameroun.

The Permanent Secretary was Ambassador Edwin Dove in the External Affairs Ministry while Hamzat Ahmadu now Chairman of Leventis was the Director – General. They were aware. Chief Uffot Ekaette was the private secretary to General Gowon and he knew about the issue.

In 1984, as the Director- General of the Federal Survey, following a re-organization in the Federal Ministry of Works, I initiated the establishment of National Boundary Commission when I was told that Cameroun had established its National Boundary Commission because of the sensitive nature of the issue. The Vice President was made the Chairman because of the sensitive nature.

In 1977, the Obasanjo administration set up the Justice Mamman Nasir Boundary Commission and, following its report, the boundaries of some states were changed. Part of Western Ijaw went to Rivers State, part of Bendel went to Ondo; part of Rivers went to Cross Rivers and part of Imo went to Rivers.

Because of this, some oil wells changed hands. There was an oil well in Rivers very close to Imo and I was asked to demarcate where the oil well was actually located. After the exercise, it was found that the oil well was in Rivers.

Moreover, because parts of Bendel had gone to Ondo, there were five oil wells very close to the boundary. Initially, the Ondo people wanted the royalty to be shared 50-50 because they were very close to the boundary between both states.

In 1981, a Yoruba man (Adebekun), who was Director of Survey, wrote to the Ministry of Finance on the issue and, after charting, it was found that the oil wells were in Bendel State.

Another Yoruba man wrote to the Ministry of Finance that the Yoruba would not take this. He went to Lagos, met with the Director of Survey and reported that a Benin man was behind the charting. Then my Director said no, he charted it. In 1984, Bamidele Otiko became the military governor of Ondo State and came to Lagos to meet my Director. At the meeting, my Director told Otiko he was responsible for the charting.

When Chief Olu – Falae became the Secretary to the Federal Government, he directed me to write a letter that pending the resolution of the Ondo – Bendel boundary adjustment issue, they should be sharing the royalty 50 – 50. I declined to write the letter.

They then posted one Ondo man to be the permanent secretary. He was reported to have said he was posted there to do their bidding and they would call him an outcast if he did not. After reading the file, he said I should do something, on the issue and I said, ‘No, you are the permanent secretary, draft the letter and sign it.

He refused. The then Minister of Works, Alhaji Abubakar Umar, was a witness to all these. Later some people did a letter purportedly written by me. When Mamman Kantagora became the Works Minister, he told me that the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) had retired me.

That was in 1988. The following week, the then Ondo governor (Bode George) called a press conference and told the media that I forged the map of Ondo – Bendel States to remove oil wells from Ondo to Bendel. The newspapers that published the story were successfully sued for libel and I made them all write apology letters.

Since I was retired, they have not carried out any survey on the Ondo – Bendel boundary issue.

Yes Nnamdi Kanu Was saying a lot of good things about Edo people in a video last year. Even saying that Edo should be in Biafra. (Although he didn’t originally draw us in the map) He’s not like his followers that seem to hate us.
Yea but I like all ethnic groups.
Its wrong that we lost parts of our land like that.
Thanks for this write-up, I didn’t know about this

ola6:
Who be this one?!

Donmedrac:
I think there should be a referendum to correct this nonsense of a map and boundary..

It was purposely done so to limit the powers of the tribes that gave the Britain a fight..

How can the ijaw nation be divided into different states that isn't supposed to be so

How can they say the igbos are landlocked when they clearly aren't? And they share their oil, land and sea to other people. I think this is unfair..

I'll be revealing the secrets one after the other..

Lalasticlala take note
