Welcome to The United States of Niger 

Nation History: Independence of the United State of Niger Delta*

The United State of Niger Delta (USND) was born out of resilience, unity, and the undying spirit of a people long overlooked despite being the heart of Nigeria’s wealth. For decades, the region contributed immensely to national revenue through its vast oil reserves, yet suffered deeply from environmental degradation, poverty, and political neglect.

The journey toward independence began as a peaceful movement led by intellectuals, traditional rulers, youth coalitions, and environmental activists. These groups came together under one banner—demanding self-determination, justice, and control over their natural resources. After years of protests, negotiations, and setbacks, the tide began to change in the early 2023s.

Facing rising global attention on indigenous rights and environmental justice, international bodies began pressuring the Nigerian government for reform. In a landmark referendum held on May 1st, 2024, over 95% of Niger Delta residents voted in favor of forming a sovereign federation.

On July 3rd, 2025, the United State of Niger Delta officially declared its independence. The historic day was marked by celebrations across major cities like Port Harcourt, Warri, Benin, Yenagoa, and Uyo. Elders poured libation, youth danced in the streets, and the new flag—bearing waves of blue and green—was raised high to the sound of drums and unity.

The first president, Osarodion F. Osatuma, a respected environmentalist and economist, vowed to lead the nation toward sustainable development, transparency, and peace.

Since independence, the USND has focused on rebuilding its economy beyond oil—investing in agriculture, education, and clean energy—while honoring its cultural heritage and protecting its wetlands.

The United State of Niger Delta stands today not just as a new nation, but as a symbol of hope and justice for resource-rich but forgotten communities around the world.
