Forum of the Ibibios from the Niger Delta
The Ibibios are an ethnic group based in the Niger Delta region, and are the most populous indigenous inhabitants in the state and possibly in the Niger Delta. The Ibom Forum was initially set up to promote communication among Akwa Ibom organizations, Akwa Ibomites around the world and also to promote the activities of Ibom Peoples Congress (IPC) USA, Inc. IPC is involved in the struggle to achieve structural change and free the people of the Niger Delta, particularly Akwa Ibom people, from decades of environmental pollution, unjust socio-economic structure and political oppression. Hydrocarbon, which was first discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri, a community in Rivers State in 1958, has become the main stay of Nigeria's economy. In early 1960s, Shell (Anglo/Dutch) began exploration in Akwa Ibom State. In 1970, Mobil Producing began oil production off the coast of Akwa Ibom which is, possibly, the largest oil producing state in Nigeria today. These oil companies have colluded with the military and successive governments of Nigeria in waging war of economic exploitation, economic apartheid, and environmental degradation, as well as the institution of internal colonialism.

Forum of the Ijaw National Congress
The Ijaws are a nation of more than 12 million people in the Niger Delta region. The Ijaws are the most populous indigenous inhabitants of the Niger Delta and constitute the fourth largest ethnicity within the borders of Nigeria. Crude oil was first discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri community of Ijawland in 1958. Since then, oil companies such as Shell (Anglo/Dutch), AGIP (Italian), Elf (French) and Chevron (American) have colluded with the military and successive governments of Nigeria to wage a war of economic exploitation and environmental degradation, as well as the institution of internal colonialism. Chevron in particular has been implicated in several acts of human rights abuse in the Niger Delta. Chevron's corporate policy of instigating violence against the Ijaws continues unabated.

The Diaspora magazine
The Diaspora international (monthly) magazine emerged as a redemption vision, informed by a strong conviction that the era has come for humanity to sing the grace of Négritude. The Diaspora reinforces but strives beyond mere patriotism for Africanism.
