THE SUFFERING OF INDIGENOUS IGBO FARMERS IN KOGI EAST

IN IBAJI AND ODOLU, THE STORY OF RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF NEGLECT IS WRITTEN ON THE SOIL. THESE TWO INDIGENOUS IGBO COMMUNITIES IN KOGI EAST ARE BLESSED WITH SOME OF THE MOST FERTILE LANDS IN THE REGION. EVERY YEAR, THEY PRODUCE MASSIVE QUANTITIES OF YAM AND OTHER CROPS. YET, THE IRONY IS PAINFUL: WHILE THEY FEED DISTANT CITIES, THEIR OWN NEIGHBORS CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY FROM THEM.

WHY? THE ANSWER LIES IN THE HARD REALITY OF POVERTY AND BAD GOVERNANCE THAT HAS CRIPPLED KOGI EAST FOR DECADES. INSTEAD OF BUILDING STRONG LOCAL MARKETS AND EMPOWERING FARMERS, THE ZONE HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN HARDSHIP. THE IGALA MAJORITY, WHO DOMINATE POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE IN KOGI EAST, HAVE FAILED TO CREATE AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL ETHNIC GROUPS. AS A RESULT, SMALLER COMMUNITIES LIKE IBAJI AND ODOLU ARE LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES.

WITH LITTLE PURCHASING POWER AT HOME, FARMERS FROM THESE IGBO COMMUNITIES ARE FORCED TO CARRY THEIR PRODUCE—ESPECIALLY YAM—TO PLACES LIKE ONITSHA, ASABA, ENUGU, NSUKKA, AND AGULERI, WHERE THEY CAN FIND BUYERS WHO TRULY VALUE THEIR HARD WORK. THERE, YAM IS NOT JUST FOOD BUT CULTURE, AND THE DEMAND ENSURES BETTER RETURNS. MEANWHILE, BACK IN KOGI EAST, MARKETS REMAIN WEAK, ROADS ARE BROKEN, AND POVERTY DEEPENS.

THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT FOOD. IT IS ABOUT JUSTICE AND EQUITY. THE WEALTH OF IBAJI AND ODOLU LANDS CONTINUES TO ENRICH OTHERS, WHILE THEIR OWN PEOPLE ARE LEFT BEHIND. UNTIL GOVERNANCE IN KOGI EAST CHANGES—UNTIL THE IGALA POLITICAL LEADERSHIP BEGINS TO THINK BEYOND NARROW INTERESTS—THE CYCLE OF NEGLECT WILL CONTINUE, AND THE FARMERS OF IBAJI AND ODOLU WILL REMAIN VICTIMS OF A SYSTEM THAT BENEFITS EVERYONE BUT THEM.

IT IS TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY. IT IS TIME TO ASK WHY THE RICHES OF THE SOIL ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE.

NOTE: THE FARMER IN THE PICTURE BELOW IS AN IGBO YOUNG FARMER FROM ANAM ANAMBRA STATE, WE ARE ALL THE SAME.

PRESS RELEASE

WE, THE INDIGENOUS MINORITIES OF KOGI EAST, REJECT THE CREATION OF OKURA STATE.

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, WE HEREBY STATE UNEQUIVOCALLY THAT WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEING PART OF ANY PROPOSED OKURA STATE. WE ARE BETTER OFF REMAINING IN KOGI STATE OR, BETTER STILL, BEING REUNITED WITH OUR KINSMEN IN THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES.

IF INDIGENOUS IGBOS IN KOGI CANNOT BE RE-INTEGRATED INTO IGBO STATES, THEN LET US REMAIN IN KOGI ALONGSIDE THE EBIRA, OKUN, BASSA, AND OTHER GROUPS WITH WHOM WE SHARE A COMMON DESTINY.

THE IGALA MAJORITY HAS REPEATEDLY FAILED TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN SENATORIAL ZONE. KOGI EAST REMAINS THE MOST UNDERDEVELOPED PART OF KOGI STATE. IT IS THEREFORE UNREALISTIC TO EXPECT THAT THEY CAN SUDDENLY SHOULDER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A WHOLE STATE. OKURA STATE WOULD ONLY BECOME A STRUCTURE OF NEGLECT, DOMINATION, AND FAILURE.

WE DRAW ATTENTION TO THE CONTRAST BETWEEN KOGI EAST AND KOGI CENTRAL. SENATOR NATASHA AKPOTI HAS CONSISTENTLY DELIVERED PROJECTS AND DEVELOPMENT FOR HER PEOPLE AND EVEN EXTENDED BENEFITS TO MINORITIES LIKE OGORI/MAGONGO. IN KOGI EAST, HOWEVER, OUR SENATOR DOES LITTLE FOR HIS OWN IGALA PEOPLE AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THE NON-IGALA MINORITIES. WE ARE DELIBERATELY MARGINALIZED, TREATED AS IF WE DO NOT EXIST.

FOR THESE REASONS, WE REJECT THE ACTUALIZATION OF OKURA STATE IN ITS ENTIRETY. IT IS NOT A PATH TO DEVELOPMENT. IT IS A PATH TO GREATER SUFFERING. IT IS FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRE.

WE WILL RESIST ANY ATTEMPT TO FORCE THIS PROJECT UPON US. OUR POSITION IS CLEAR AND NON-NEGOTIABLE.

SIGNED,
THE INDIGENOUS MINORITIES OF KOGI EAST

IGALAS SHOULD STOP MARGINALIZING US (IGBOS) IN KOGI EAST.
WE COMMITTED NO CRIME BY BEING MINORITY IN KOGI EAST SENATORIAL ZONE.
