The Niger Delta where the rights of indigenous peoples are recognized, respected, and protected. A region where communities coexist peacefully, with conflicts resolved through dialogue and understanding. The Niger Delta consists of over 45 ethnic nationalities amongst whom are the Ijaws,Urhobos, Bini, Ibibio, Eket, Esan, Isoko, Itsekiri, Ndokwa, Ogba, Efik,Ogoni, Ikwerre,Andoni, Annang, Oron, Ejegam, Egbema etc, our differences have been exploited by our oppressors to keep us in perpetual conflict whilst they loot our OIL wealth. However, in the past several years we have at last woken up to the challenge. We had the Ogoni Bill of Rights, The Kaiama Declaration by the Ijaw Youths, Resolutions of the First Urhobo Economic summit, the warri Accord a.k.a The Warri Declaration, the Bill of Rights of Oron People, The Aklaka Declaration by Egi Ethnic Coalition (Rivers State) etc. In 2023, we presented our issues to the United Nation at the 16th United Nations Human Rights Forum on Minority issues in Geneva, Switzerland.
