URGENT PRESS RELEASE!!!!
The Honorable Members of the House of Representatives,
South West, South South, and North Central, North East and North West Caucuses,
National Assembly Complex,
Abuja, Nigeria.
Subject: Urgent Rejection of the Proposed Federal Bill on Indigenous Rights
Dear Honorable Members,
We write to you on behalf of Think Yoruba First Organization, a body, organization and institution committed to the protection, preservation, and promotion of Yoruba heritage, identity, and rights. We are deeply concerned by the proposed Federal Bill by Hon. Kalu Okezie, which seeks to grant indigenous rights to Nigerians who have either lived in a particular place for ten years or have been married to an indigenous person for the same period. This bill, if passed into law, will not only erode the cultural and historical foundations of indigenous peoples across Nigeria but will also be a dangerous catalyst for ethnic tensions, conflicts, and long-term instability.
Global Precedents Against Such Provisions
No serious nation undermines the rights of its indigenous people by arbitrarily granting indigenous status to settlers. Around the world, indigenous identity is tied to ancestry, cultural heritage, and historical connection to the land—not just residency or marriage. Consider the following examples:
1.United States & Native Americans – Indigenous status among Native American tribes is based on strict bloodline and ancestral ties, not residency.
2.Australia & Aboriginals – The Aboriginal peoples of Australia have specific rights tied to ancestry and cultural heritage, and non-indigenous Australians, even after centuries, do not acquire those rights simply by residency or marriage.
3.Canada & First Nations – Canada recognizes the unique rights of its First Nations people based on lineage and history, not based on settlement or intermarriage.
https://t.co/HLONju7RoT Zealand & Māori – The Māori people maintain exclusive indigenous status despite other racial groups living in New Zealand for centuries.
In all these examples, the protection of indigenous rights has been crucial in preventing cultural erasure and ensuring historical continuity. Nigeria, a nation of over 250 ethnic groups, should take heed.
Historical and Contemporary Dangers of Ethnic Displacement
History has shown that forceful alteration of indigenous identity is a precursor to ethnic violence and civil unrest, especially in multi-ethnic and multi-cultural nations. Consider these cases:
1.Rwanda (1994 Genocide) – The manipulation of ethnic identity led to mass violence between the Hutu and Tutsi populations, with devastating consequences.
2.South Sudan Conflict – Decades of imposed ethnic integrations contributed to tensions that eventually led to South Sudan’s secession.
3.Yugoslavia (Balkan Wars of the 1990s) – The forced blending of ethnic identities contributed to one of Europe’s most brutal conflicts in the 20th century.
Nigeria itself has witnessed countless ethnic conflicts due to territorial and indigenous disputes. The crises in Jos, Southern Kaduna, Ife-Modakeke, Aguleri-Umuleri, and the clashes between herders and farmers across the Middle Belt all stem from contestations over land and identity. Legalizing the erasure of indigenous identity will exacerbate these conflicts, not resolve them.
Conclusion & Call to Action
The indigenous identity of Nigeria’s ethnic nationalities is a sacred heritage that must not be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. If this bill is allowed to pass, it will set a dangerous precedent that could lead to an irreversible distortion of Nigeria’s ethnic foundations, leading to deeper fragmentation and possible disintegration.
We, therefore, urge all Representatives from the South West, South South, and North Central, North East and North West regions to strongly oppose this bill in its entirety.
It is impossible for the higher-ups to brainwash the minds of people, who have clean and clear facts about our independence permanently scribbled in their hearts.
