Count Ijaw Out Of Biafra, Oduduwa, Says IYC by Thinkfree(m): 6:06pm On May 17, 2020 |
The Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide, has warned persons and groups agitating for the republics of Biafra and Oduduwa to leave the Ijaw nationality out of their missions. The IYC in a statement signed at the weekend by its Chairman, National Transition and Implementation Committee, Kennedy Olorogun, to mark the Isaac Adaka Boro Day said it would not allow any of the Ijaw territories to be annexed by such agitators. Olorogun said the Ijaw first started the agitation for independence and self-determination through its late hero, Boro, creating the awareness that led to the emergence of similar quests by other ethnic nationalities. He said: “Today, the Ijaw nation is confronted with the renewed quest for nationalism within the Nigerian geopolitical arrangement. This may have compelled other tribes, groups and ethnic nationalities in the country, such as the Oduduwa and various movements championing the Biafra cause to renew their agitation for self- determination. “Whilst the Ijaw nation is not adverse to their cause. The forced annexation and fraudulent redrawing of the geographical boundaries of the Ijaw territories into their dream nations would no longer be tolerated. “We are seizing this medium to inform the promoters and sponsors of the Oduduwa and Biafra republics that they should not include Ijaw territories in their acclaimed nations. The Ijaws are domiciled in Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states and are prominently resident in all the states of the Niger Delta. “In this wise, the Oduduwas and the Biafra successionists should leave Ijaw territories out of their utopian republics. Ijaws are capable of governing themselves. In this vein, the Ijaw nation are watching the unfolding events within the Nigerian polity, and at fullness of time; the Ijaw nation would state their position”. Olorogun further condemned the influx of the Almajaris from the north into Ijaw territories despite the ongoing closure of borders and lockdowns in various states. He said while the Ijaw remained accommodating to visitors, they were no longer comfortable with the kind of people coming into their territories from the north. He said: “From our findings, their coming may not be far from their jihadic and conquest mission. The Ijaw nation is not a conquered territory. Let it be clear that we can defend ourselves. “Therefore, we are using this historic opportunity to urge the Nigerian State to commence the process of the devolution and unbundling of the Nigerian State; which would enable the sub- national entities to contribute significantly to the growth of Country. “Finally, Isaac Boro’s contributing to the raging debate to restructure the Nigerian Federation would remain indelible. If we want this Country to move on a fast lane of development, making the various states to contribute to national development is inevitable. “Our goal as enuciatiated in the Kaiama Declaration is Self – Determination and Resource Control. We shall not deviate from it. The forced amalgamation of the independent nation- statesof Ijaw nation into an unviable Nigerian project has arrested the huge potentials of the Ijaw people.” https://thenationonlineng.net/count-ijaw-out-of-biafra-oduduwa-says-iyc-2/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ijaws in Ondo are settlers and are surrounded by Yoruba towns. How many times will I say this? They should forget about them, or better still, They should move out from Ondo state. Thinkfree: Olorogun as a name is a Yoruba word. Or does it mean anything in Ijaws language 1 Like |

Nation newspaper has twisted the first earlier news to biafra and Oduduwa but meanwhile my stand still holds... Ijaws are known for looking for avenue to blackmail others. Secondly... Nobody inserted Ijaw in biafra. it it was Kanu and his useless crew that put Ijaws in biafra , let them write to him or tell to remove Ijaws from his stupid map. Heterogeneous country is another nigeria, the more reason kanu and his Ipob miscreants are useless. Moreover, Ijaws should not try to pull Ayo Adebanjo words out of context. This is a pure blackmail... against his person. |

Sammy07: It would be interesting to learn about the meaning of Olorogun in Ijaw language but I think the title is not peculiar only to the Yoruba nation. The late scion of the Ibru family, Michael Ibru used the Olorogun title all through his adult life. The Ibru’s are Urhobo. 1 Like |

I have noticed a very sad development being carried out by some people here and I wish to bring that to your notice I wish to bring to the notice of all nairalanders that there are some imposters posing as Igbos with the sole intent of dividing us and the South South.. I have noticed the schemes of some monickers who hide under the cloak of being Igbos to sabotage the buoyant relationship that exists between the South East and the South south. These monickers are relentlessly trying to bring disunity between Igbos and South south states especially Rivers state. I do not know the reason for this their malevolent acts but I just want us all to be wary of their machinations and not fall victim of their tricks. These monickers include Crixx, Kìnematics, KINEMATÌCZ, RIVERS1stson, Portharcourt1stsòn etc Say No To Divide And Rule South East and South South Are One 2 Likes |
