Everything about Jimmy Stevens totally explained
Jimmy Stevens, known as "Moses" (born 1910s or 1920s – died
28 February 1994,
Espiritu Santo), was a Ni-
Vanuatu nationalist and politician. As leader of the conservative
Nagriamel movement, he declared the independence of
Espiritu Santo island as the "State of
Vemerana" in June 1980 and referred to himself as "prime minister". After the Republic of Vanuatu was granted independence in July, Prime Minister
Walter Lini deployed Papua New Guinean troops and the revolt was crushed in August. Stevens and Nagriamel received USD $250,000 from the American-based
Phoenix Foundation, a
libertarian group that previously attempted to establish an independent tax-haven state in
Abaco Island,
The Bahamas in 1973.
Stevens was of part-European, part-
Melanesian, and part-
Polynesian descent. He reportedly had 23 wives and fathered four dozen children.
