Ijaw Nation Forum

Read news and information about Ijaw people, participate in a discussion etc

The Ijaw Nation Forum (INF) is a platform for Ijaws to exchange ideas and discuss issues of common interest to the Niger Delta Region and Ijaw people in particular. It was founded by the Late Col. Godfrey Ambakiderimo Okoro (1948-2012), who started a physical news mailing list service in the US in the mid-nineties. The physical mailing list service transitioned to an email distribution list for INF and was ultimately set up as a Yahoo Groups list service on 12 July, 2001. The Late Col. Okoro moderated the forum until his passage in 2012. The current membership of the forum stands at over 1900 subscribers.

The INF is a neutral and un-moderated forum where every Ijaw person of either paternal or maternal parentage shall have access to, irrespective of political, ideological, religious or organizational affiliations. The general theme of posts and discussions are intended to be focused on issues and are expected to be those that contribute towards enhancement of the socio-political and cultural quality of life, and empowerment for Ijaws. Members are expected to express their points of view in a civil manner and respect the views of other members as they participate in the debates
