TO OUR TIRELESS LEADERS OF THE NIGER DELTA
Once again, we the people of the Niger Delta living abroad, congratulate
you for the commendable manner in which you handled the issue of Revenue
Allocation at the Obasanjo’s (comic) Conference. It would have been
inglorious if you had succumbed beneath the pressure and the fear that were
mounted upon you by those who represented the large tribes and the rulers of
the Islamic North. We are sure that you were able to understand how arrogant
they are when it concerned the exploitation of our resources. They assume
the right to mention any amount of revenue it pleases them to give to our
people from our resources.
Since from the turn of the last century, we in the Niger Delta has made
Nigeria what it is. We gave it all the attribute that earn respectability
and notice in the international world. So of the more than six ports in
Nigeria, only one, Lagos is outside the Niger Delta. None of the tribes
large and small have anything like that. We enable Nigeria to have a Navy
which is good enough to be invited to Portsmouth to celebrate the Naval
battle of Nelson and Trafalgar. Now they are raping our land and resources,
enjoying the epithet OIL RICH NIGERIA. We who give to Nigeria all its
prestige and all its revenue, are treated just like aborigines and slaves.
As my young friend Mr. Chukwundum Ikeazor wisely put it ~ “Nigeria’s
treatment of the oil producing areas is nothing short of ingratitude and
disrespect wrapped in a package of contempt. For a PEOPLE WHOSE RESOURCES
HAVE SUSTAINED Nigeria for the past 30 years. Oil and nothing else has paid
for all the soldiers and dictators toys-guns, the tanks, the jets, the
limousines, state houses, et cetera. Oil has paid for all the excesses of
the Nigeria’s elite, nouveau riche, and civilian and ruling classes
including the traditional rulers, their mansions – no more mud huts ~ their
summer holidays abroad, their mistresses, imported foreign prostitutes,
their viagra pills, their Mecca and Medina Hadj and pilgrimage, their fancy
night clubs, and hotels,. Oil has made Nigeria what it is today; and yet oil
politics and revenue allocation have impoverished, denied and deprived the
very people from where they are obtained….” From the book titled ~ LAMENT ON
THE NIGER DELTA, by C. Ikeazor with forward by A. Ekineh, obtained at the
African Book Centre London WC2.
This robbing tribes of the far away hinterlands with whom the Niger Delta
was merged and amalgamated by Lugard for the British Imperial Regime, have
enjoyed raping us the people of the Niger Delta, as we kept silent all the
time. Now we must call it a stop ~ “Its OVER”. And it must really be over;
it must END. We must look after ourselves like others do. We must develop
our Benin City, our Calabar, our Oron, our Asaba, our Ogoja, our Obudu, Our
Ugep, our Itigidi, our Ogoni, our Eleme, our Okrikas, our Ikwere, our
Buguma, our Bakana, our Abonnema, our Brass, our Akasa, our Yenagoa, our
Forcados, our Warri, our Sapele and each and every town and city in the
Niger Delta and make the most pleasant place in Africa. And we must conserve
and preserve our beautiful islands, our rivers and streams, not to mention
the mangrove forests and other resources that God in His mercy has bestowed
upon us. God will not forgive us if we are careless and neglect our duty to
protect our environment and our resources if others not so blessed rape us
and rob them from us.
We have discussed and written on these matters several times and we must
always warn ourselves of the danger of being timid. We must invest all our
might in the godly struggle for our self determination. We have always
warned that nothing can change and the one and only solution lies on
separation. The world now know the trouble we see; but it is for us to
begin the type of remedy which the world would support once we begin such a
remedy. Millions all over the world seem to believe that it is fear and
cowardice alone that keep our people in Nigeria where we continue to suffer
and exploited like common slaves even by our fellow Africans.
On this account we urge you to consider separation from Nigeria as the one
and only solution to all our problems. The Islamic North has one and one
reason only for liking Nigeria; and that reason is Revenue Allocation. Many
other communities in Nigeria also have the same reason and they support the
North to lead them in enforcing revenue allocation. So we can never get our
demand through the tribal democracy.
Why don’t you consider separation very seriously and invest lots of energy
to achieve it? A great majority of us in Southern Nigeria were brainwashed
about the failure of Biafra. The very mention of secession chills our blood
to feverish point. But it is the one and only solution to our troubles. And
if pursued with tact and prudence it will be quite simple of the world of
today. We suggest that you set up a committee of about nine, ten or fourteen
people to study the issue of separation and the steps it would take to
accomplish it. In our group, we do not hide anything; and we are quite open
because we are sure of ourselves and we have all the argument, moral and
diplomatic on our side particularly, if unlike Biafra we do not include on
board any community against the will of its people. Unlike Biafra, we will
subject our course to internationally organised referendum. Fortunately,
unlike 1967, today the international community seems very active. Millions
around the world now realise that Nigeria is a monster that kills her own
people through its leaders, and the never ending bloody ethnic conflicts
aggravated by religion cannot end and make the peoples enjoy the degree of
peace that will enable a country to follow the path of development in this
century of breathtaking technology. Wherefore, we appeal to you our leaders
to consider our urge for separation.
We are your compatriots N.D.R.M ~ Aliyi Ekineh and Godfrey Arumoh ~ Patron
and Coordinator respectively of the N.D.R.M. 18/7/05
