Gov Udom Emmanuel Has Always Marginalized The Obolo People Of Akwa Ibom State by Oromene(m): 8:14am On Oct 05, 2021
IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL (IYC), Eastern Obolo CLAN, EASTERN ZONE CONDEMN THE PURPORTED SHARING OF EASTERN OBOLO AND Ibeno Local Government Council LAND TO HER NEIGHBORING L.G.As AND THEIR ALLIES.

A forthnight ago, the people of Eastern Obolo and Ibeno Local Government Area were gravely marginalized by the state secondary education board(sseb) in her recruitment of teachers in the state. They spoke against the marginalization and were told it was fair and marginalization was not the case by the state government. Few days after that, Eastern Obolo and Ibeno local government land is proposed to be shared to the Governor's local government and cohorts through a supposed re-mapping bill. Maybe in this case, the Governor will say his local government and cohorts needed more land and the two local government Areas(who weren't worthy of having a good number of graduates being recruited by the sseb as claimed) had too much land.

Every country has her territorial intergrity, same with every component part of any country (the state and local government councils).

As it is today in Nigeria, there are 774 local government area with her well defined map and unique location. Eastern obolo and ibeno local government area is one of those 774 local government Areas respectively.

No local government area in the nation was created to be at the mercy of her neighboring local government area and their allies.

Eastern Obolo is located in the Niger Delta fringe between Imo and Qua Iboe Rivers estuaries and lies between latitudes 4° 28' and 4° 53' and longitudes 7° 50' and 7° 55' East. Herself and Ibeno L.G.A were well mapped out by the Federal government before creation.

Thus the below submissions:

1. No local government in Nigeria owes another local government even 1mm of land.

2. No tribe in Nigeria created land and thus every tribe/language in the country is important to and in the country.

3. Eastern Obolo local government and Ibeno local government does not owe Onna, Eket, Ikot Abasi, Mkpat Enin and cohorts one(1cm) of land. Consequently, the state government has no such power to share the land of any local government to another local government.

4. Governor Udom Gabriel Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom state is displaying a show of shame and should immediately stop playing the ethnic card he is playing and behave himself as the Governor of a multi-tribal state which he governs.

5. The project embarked upon to diminish/exterminate Eastern Obolo and Ibeno local government areas and to expand the boundaries of Onna, Mkpat Enin, Ikot Abasi, Eket, Esit Eket all the way down to the Atlantic ocean is illegal, inhuman, tyrannical, ethnic ridden, crisis creating and uncalled for.

6. The re-mapping project is therefore needless and an affront on the ijaw ethnic nationality in Akwa Ibom state. As Ijaw Youths together with our elders, we shall challenge this colonial/ethnic agenda of the udom led Akwa Ibom State government to any level. It is a failed project.

7. We therefore call on the entire Nigerian nation, the United Nations, every well meaning Civil and liberty organization to join us bring an end to the "ethnic cleansing" agenda of the Udom Gabriel Emannuels administration in Akwa Ibom state.

The original state map and proposed (ethnic cleansing) map is displayed below.

Egberifa o!!

One mumu Professor, go declare Ibom Republic, instead of them to go with their other Calabar people in cross river state, forgetting that the Ijaw tribe was Balkanized into more than six States, when they share perfect boundaries with each other, when they discover that the Obolo-Ijaw people with their Seven Local Governments in Akwa-Ibom state, because Oro are Obolo people, and they have 5 lga and the Oro also under Ijaw Youth Council today.
Plus the other two Obolo LGA.
Making 7.
And since the Oro and Obolo have said that they are going for Ijaw Republic with their Ijaw relations, this made Ibom Republic landlocked.
Now them wan come thief the Ijaw people land by force.
Ijaw have 12 LGA in Rivers state, and 7 LGA in Akwa-Ibom state.

Bayelsa state alone is bigger than the whole Akwa-Ibom state.
It's all because of the marginalization and the Balkanization of Ijaws into more than 6 States.

Bayelsa state alone is bigger than the whole Akwa-Ibom state, but they cheated Bayelsa with low number of LGA.
