Militants
who confided in Ifeanyi Chijioke have taken their time to disclose the
real reason why the Niger Delta Republic was not declared after several
moves. They have ruled out pleas by elders as the reason behind the
halt.
Speaking
to Ifeanyi Chijioke; they made it clear that not everything they are
doing should be explained to the public but due to the opposition posed
by this writer; they have decided to clear the air and avoid unnecessary
panic among the people whom they fight for. “
The
‘people’ is our priority; what our people want is what we shall fight
for. We have made it very clear that the days of MEND are gone; you can
only come into this struggle for one singular purpose-giving our people
hope and fighting to set them free from oil pollution, suffering and all
manner of injustices. We also owe the people the clarification because
this is their battle even though sometimes it must not be an official
explanation and this is why we have somebody like you-Journalists” a
male voice who identified himself as ‘Creek smallie’ said in a phone
chat.
Asked
if he is speaking officially for any group, he responded. “I am telling
you what you need to know because you people always want to know.
Official or no official, your primary concern should be truth and
sometimes you shouldn’t expect us to tell you everything because there
are certain things we don’t want you to know. If you are more concerned
about official, then I will drop your call, and you look for the
official.
Between
knowledge anchored on truth and formal; which one do you prefer?” He
asked with a commanding voice which made me succumb. “Don’t ask me,
group, I am from, everybody fighting for the future of our people is my
group except criminals who call themselves ex-militants. What is
ex-militants while your men are still suffering, offenders and saboteurs
that fought for their pockets and enrichment? They can’t decline offers
NDA rejected, neither can they decline that made to CML and the rest of
us that persisted on this fight to save our people” he digressed.
The
Niger Delta Republic declaration is very dangerous, and that would be a
basis for full arm struggle, and everybody that wishes to fight for his
freedom for our people can freely join. We are far-reaching about this,
and this will be bloody; we are ready and set for the worst unless the
needful is done to avert this looming war. Biafra forbids violence and
for that civil approach Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and detained.
The
Niger Delta Republic is a right balance to fight in our way because
declaring Biafra as you all wanted will amount to dishonour by its
peaceful nature. If Biafra is declared today as it was declared in 1967;
we would not only fight for our nation, but we would correct the
mistake we made by listening to Northern bigots and assisted them killed
our brothers. We have moved on, and truth has been laid bare; we are
jubilant about everything that had happened and Kanu’s arrest, and
continued detention has taught us a lot.”
Recall
that this writer had strongly predicted that the Biafra second civil
war would start from the creeks like a little violence that would later
get blown. Reacting to the possibility of another civil war, the
militants said “Civil war is what is stopping this declaration; we don’t
want to make an announcement without general support; the entire
Biafra-Southsouth and Southeast must somehow admit to this because it
would be bloody and this is their fight.
We
would stand the Nigerian troops in this creek and would take down
anything in the air and on the ground. What is stopping the Niger Delta
Declaration is the view we all hold and the readiness to back the idea.
One thing is this declaration is for us alone; we want to declare and
have a basis for this struggle even though you might not love the name
we are declaring.
Do
we have right to say the Biafra Republic when it is peaceful and
globally managed by our people? The Niger Delta Republic is owned by
nobody but our foundation for this struggle and to indirectly fight for
what you mainly want from us. We are Niger Deltans, and we have our way
of agitating, and this is why the Niger Delta Republic must be declared.
Our brothers can take advantage of this for the restoration of Biafra”
he noted.
There
seems to be indecision on the declaration attempts with NDA recently
withdrawing after posting that the statement will surely be made.
Interferences cannot be ruled out and while we are considering that; it
could be as well a threat to enforce the implementation of their
demands, and we are all aware that unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu,
restructure and referendum top the list.
Reacting
to this, Smallie said “Interference or not; we are talking about
declaration that would finally set the pace for all out war; which
should be coming as the last option; there is delay or interference
because there were arguments that Buhari will meet demands and should be
considered, but he is wasting our time.
This
declaration is our last card, and we believe that the Government will
not allow us to play it because we will win. Restructure means to
release Nnamdi Kanu and decentralise; that is where we stand; release
Kanu and restructure or referendum” he said.
Now
nobody is talking about the Niger Delta Republic, the house of our
various states did a historic meeting that marked our unity; Opigo was
behind the name you want. Only militants now own the Niger Delta
Republic and it would do a lot of wonders. Biafra cannot match our
operation, declaring the Niger Delta Republic would restore Biafra and
the Niger Delta Republic gives us the ground to fight.
The
wise would not need further details, but one thing sure is the Niger
Delta Republic will be declared if conditions are not met. We are
relaxing now and very calm; we are watching and listening; let us see
how the agitation is addressed for now.
We
want the whole world to hear and see again that Nigeria can never be
sincere in anything. They are only after our oil while we die of hunger
and by oil pollution; we shall not die again but fight and deliver our
people.”
