THE KAIAMA DECLARATION 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT Part 2 Based on the foregoing, we, the youths of Ijawland hereby make the following resolutions to be known as the Kaiama Declaration: THE RESOLUTIONS 1. All land and natural resources (including mineral resources) within the Ijaw territory belong to Ijaw communities and are the basis of our survival. Have we reclaimed our land? Bayelsa State that can be said to be a Homogenous Ijaw State has not been reclaimed from the Predators we call politicians that had filled their Bank Accounts, acquired properties in Choice Cities (we hitherto grudge they have developed with our Oil Money) and squander our wealth just like the oppressors use to do.
