Now and again it appears necessary to take stock and consider the gains and losses of past periods of activities. So now we of blessed Niger Delta are called upon once again to vote at this coming election for a president for the Islamic Republic of Nigeria. At all times, and , particularly now, we must remember that colonial Nigeria was forcibly created by the colonial system with us as part of it; but at that time, without being a religious state. Forty years after the end of the colonial regimes, the Islamic North forced the country to become officially and Islamic nation. Throughout these record periods, we have never accepted to be part of Nigeria, Islamic or otherwise. These we must never forget.

Then also in the Islamic nation of Nigeria, we in the Blessed Niger Delta are wholly Christian communities; and we comprise different linguistic groups that relates to one another from time immemorial, long before the colonial system. We must remember and give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ and the Almighty God of Abraham for the blessing He has bestowed upon our lands, our rivers, our creeks and our forests. These are the wonderful resources for which Islamic Nigeria is holding strongly upon us. No part of Islamic Nigeria has any interest upon us besides the resources bestowed upon us by God Almighty. And so, we in the Blessed Niger Delta are the most exploited region in Africa. These we must never forget.

In furtherance is the savage exploitation which we suffer, the rulers of Nigeria have each in their turn devastated and terrorised our people and our territories. They include buffoons such as Mohammed, Obasanjo, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha and the lot. Of these rulers, Abacha and Obasanjo have being the most bloodthirsty. They killed thousands of our people with weapons of mass destruction as by bombing Odi on the eve of the New Millennium and Jesse later. Their propaganda drowned the faint cries and the lamentations of peoples from being heard by the liberal international community. Each of these satanic rulers caused the death and destruction of our lands and our peoples in furtherance of their rule of Nigeria in which we are forced to be part. All of these men mercilessly exploit our resources to promote the benefits and welfare of their own peoples and their own Islamic regions. No sensible person can fail to understand that in the corruption based economy of Islamic Nigeria, ‘democracy’ is practised to enhance the conspiracy whereby lazy and never do well – big for nothing tribes conspire and exploit the resources of the smaller tribes in the Niger Delta upon which God Almighty bestows His infinite blessing. These we must never forget.

And as we remember these facts, we must have very little to do with these elections held during this Christian festival of Easter, a time when we remember the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind. It is time for us Christians to consecrate our lives to Almighty Lord who suffered on the cross to save mankind. We must at this time dedicate our resolve to separate from Islamic Nigeria that is unsuitable for us. The freedom and separation of the Blessed Niger Delta from the Islamic Nigeria, is the one and only remedy we seek. And as Christian Bible urges – Let us seek first our separation, so that all else including, resource control, will be added unto us.

So according to the holy Deeds – we will be able to determine our lives, by committing all our different peoples to the promotion of our cherished Christian religion and social justice. In this way we shall practise true democracy and eradicate all conflicts caused and aggravated by worthless rulers from other tribes in the monster Islamic Nigeria. In this our Blessed Niger Delta no ethnic community shall be forced into it; and we shall seek amicable relation with our neighbours the Igbos and the Yorubas. So may God help us to separate from Islamic Nigeria peacefully.

Our Niger Delta Republic will not be a collection of colonial conquests merge together for convenience; and then given the name Nigeria – a country that is artificially created, and without a spirit, without a common basic religion that could give its peoples a common moral values and culture. Our Blessed Niger Delta Republic will be created by us – its own peoples and it will be blessed by a common Christian values and aspirations that will energise its ventures and speedily promote its political advancement into this wonderful 21st century of breathtaking technology. And its success will be our pride and our glory – its own peoples.

When we finally become independent and control our destiny in the Niger Delta Republic we will come to realise that we had wasted our lives all through the time we are in Nigeria. Being in Nigeria would have been in depth of hell. No progress, no education, no jobs. Only bloody conflicts everyday. When we become independent and control our destiny all the big foreign companies among us will be our guest and they will be our very good friends, and they will happily obey our laws. Because we are a friendly people more foreign companies will rush to do business in our Republic. In that way our villages, creeks, rivers, farms and coasts will be highly developed. All our people will be engaged in the development and there will be no time for ethnic conflict. We have justice on our side and the blessing of God himself. So we do not need to resort to violence at all.

SEPARATION, NOTHING BUT SEPARATION IS THE ANSWER.
