Today 30th April, 2011 by the grace of God we could gather together again to pay our solemn tribute to former NNC President A.Z. Phizo on this 21st death anniversary here at Phizo Hill, Kohima, Nagaland. This is important moment to remember him as the father of Naga nation.
Indeed, the devoted pioneer NNC leaders led by A.Z. Phizo founded NNC on solid root of Naga race. Fairly well known that Naga race is quite different from that of the aggressor Indian race. That the needful in brief to say is that the Naga forefathers were in Nagaland right from the beginning as provided by the Almighty God.
In Urra Uvie expresses the light of freedom and sovereign Nagaland. And we Nagas are happy and proud to stay in Naga Country with God’s creation of free Nagas and a sovereign nation. Remarkably, Nagaland sovereignty is as old as any other nation’s sovereignty of the world. By nature, Nagas are clearly a sovereign people in our own country, Nagaland.
And so let us all hold ourselves together as to what we are and who we are as created us by the Almighty God. We are His creation and He loves us. Be it known that if any one of us goes by enemy’s wrong notion that will lead him or her to more than foolishness. And therefore, let us be true to ourselves as created. We should go by God’s creation and His sustenance and love.
Land Ownership of Nagaland.
Nagas’ ownership of Nagaland and its natural resources is a great blessing of the Almighty God has bestowed on Naga race from the very outset. Nagas never attempt to give it up. Truly, there is a belief that is taboo (curse) to think of giving it away. NNC and its Naga people have been looking after it under the shepherd of A.Z. Phizo, and NNC and its free Naga people will do its best to safeguard it. The land owner system evolved by our forefathers is very stable and admirable in land possession where there is no landless Naga in entire Nagaland. By the grace of God in Nagaland there is no beggar nor no starvation death. And that we should be on our guard that foreign/alien culture, caste system etc. do not destroy it.
Some important achievements of Naga nation headed by former NNC President, A.Z. Phizo Naga National Council (NNC), Nagaland.
I. With fair and far-sightedness of NNC leadership and together with the will, the leaders of the day brought the Naga families of all the Nagas together into one big family as a nation.
II. Adhering to the policy of non-violence, A.Z. Phizo led several Goodwill Missions of Naga delegations to India , and met the Indian leaders of the day (1947-1952)
III. At the initiative of A.Z. Phizo Nagas’ historic declaration of Nagaland independence on 14th August, 1947 and this historic declaration message sent to British India Government, India and UNO.
IV. With necessary preparation NNC headed by A.Z. Phizo solemnly conducted historic Naga Voluntary Plebiscite to steadfastly uphold Nagaland independence where 99% honoured Nagaland stand.
V. On 22nd March, 1956, the Naga National Council (NNC) under the leadership of A.Z. Phizo formed the Republic of the Federal Government of Nagaland.
VI. A.Z. Phizo shouldered the responsibility of informing the outside world of the Naga national right, the severe suffering and aggression on Nagaland by India . The United Nations Organisations (UNO) was also informed on Naga nation and Nagaland in 1960.
VII. Above all, the case of Nagaland is of war is placed by A.Z. Phizo on the table of Prime Minister, the Republic of India since two decades ago, and the war is yet to come to an honourable end.
While looking back to former NNC President A.Z. Phizo’s important steps taken and achievements made in the teeth of aggression against Nagaland by India showed his greatness as the ever true leader of the Naga people and Nagaland. He knew thoroughly well what he had been doing for the best interest of the Nagas, so that the future generations can live happily in dignity.

“Each time is a seed, man to act.”
His Excellency, the Kedahge and Kedallo, Kilonsers, dignitaries of the Federal Government of Nagaland and all sorts of my friends, Ladies and Gentlemen; success goes big due to your presence on this sorrowful day, the 21st death anniversary of our father Dr. A.Z. Phizo.
That, I rejoice in your faithfulness and undertakings. I pray let peace be with you all the time. Today we are mourning and refuse to be comforted, because of our national father is no more with us, yet his presence among us is sure and plain truth that comforts us. For what we have and are is Phizo.
That, he was born to us with a branded vision of “Sovereign Nagaland” taking the highest responsibilities in making worth of us, a country, a nation, man among men and nation among nations, “happy be.” If there be any who knows not of him be “alas!”
That, therefore I call on you, be bold and have courage to do Nagaland as one as that of Wailing Wall of Jerusalem in this crucial generation, standing on the promises of Christ’s glory that which cannot be vulnerised the Nagaland for Christ by any outside political influence spreading today.
Thanking you.
