AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLES OF THE NIGER DELTA TO SUPPORT SEPARATION FROM THE MONSTER NIGERIA.

Our dear compatriots ~ By now you may have realised that we the peoples of the Niger Delta are the most savagely exploited group in Africa. And the IMMODEST tribes that inherit the colonial system in Nigeria exploit us to the bone. No one loves Nigeria ~ as you can see from the fact that - no one that has luckily escaped from it, ever returns to it voluntarily.

Only corruption from ‘ Revenue Allocation’ robbed from the Niger Delta keeps the monster alive. This is why we respectfully send this appeal to all our peoples to work together to save ourselves by seeking SEPARATION from Nigeria as the permanent solution to the never ending bloody conflicts and exploitation of our people. A foreign colonial power merged us together with strange bed fellows for colonial purposes. We have nothing in common with the peoples of Northern Nigeria; but with others in the south, we have always been neighbours. In other words all the various tribes in Nigeria were slaves or subject peoples of the same colonial master – Great Britain..

When a slave master has left, the slaves, ought to go their own different ways. There is no bases for the slaves to force themselves to remain together. And no section of the slaves have the right to force the others to remain with them against their will. This is how the rest of the liberal world see us in monster Nigerian that has been engaged in the never ending bloody conflicts since independence in 1960. We have had umpteen conferences in the Uk; in Nigeria; in Ghana; in the Congo, in Uganda; in Ethiopia and other countries – all to no avail. On account of its abnormal ethnic composition and warring religions, Nigeria will never be stable. It will always be terribly corrupt, incapable of advancement and, it will always engage in bloody conflicts that benefit worthless ‘ leaders ‘ like Obasanjo who uses the country to promote his own self interests he calls “International statesman.”

The situation cannot be solved by resource control or zoning, or human rights or democracy or true federation or any other device except by SEPARATION. It is the one and only permanent solution. In the Holy Bible  they say “ Seek first the kingdom of heaven and all other things shall be added to you.” We say ‘ Seek first our SEPARATION from Nigeria; and all other benefits shall be added unto us’. Fortunately all of us in the Niger Delta have the same common basic religion in Christianity. In Europe every country has one basic religion; and it is Christianity. In Asia every country has the same basic religion as Hindu in India or Islam in Pakistan or in Buddhism in China. It is in Africa alone that many countries have conflicting religions of Christianity and Islam; and that is why the countries of Africa hardly progress. So the fact of being all Christian will enable us in the Niger Delta to progress fast. And our ancestors - all socialised together before colonisation.

Our purpose is to found a NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC that will be a homely nation to the peoples of Akwa Ibom, ,Cross Rivers, Delta, Edo , Rivers and Bayelsa states ; provided that no ethnic group will be forced to belong to any of the states that form the Niger Delta Republic against its will. Unlike Nigeria, the Niger Delta Republic will NOT be a collection of colonial conquests that were merged together by force; - a country that is artificially created for colonial purposes that have nothing in common among the ethnic communities forced into it. Our Niger Delta Republic will be created by us, - its own peoples and with a common Christian heritage and values that will energise and bless its ventures. And its success will be our pride – its own peoples. We seek no territory or benefit or favour from any one; we only want to rule ourselves and be masters of our own destiny. God, justice, the argument and the international community are all on our side. We must discard the timid traits of Nigerians and be as brave and determined as those Africans of the ANC that defeated Apartheid that was more powerful than ex colonial Nigeria is.

We must be free from exploitation. No one can do it for us. We ourselves must do it; and we must be up to it like Europeans do for themselves. Please get in touch with us and let us work together at home and abroad; so that we can SEPARATE from Nigeria. May God Bless us and our Niger Delta.
