Shattap there. If you don't understand psychology, you won't understand what the OP is trying to do. Nothing happened that warrants the over the top reporting to incite Ijaws against their Igbo brethren. Where were you when Hausa-Fulani slaughtered Yorubaas in Osun? This pathological Igbo hater is intentionally fanning this news to inflate the a very minor issue. I know you are an Afonja pretending to be from SS with your Igbo phobia and penchant or divisiveness.

Today people in delta will identify as Ukwuani but yet Nzegwu and Ukwuani man coup was blamed on the whole Igbo nation. That was the only coup in Nigeria given a tribe, despite the huge involvement of Yoruba Officers and certain Hausa like Hassan Katsina.

Regardless, they called it Igbo coup. Now ask urself with subsequent coup after that, were named after the mastermind and not his percieved ethnic group?

Tonye, I concur with your write up. As much as you have condemned the irate Ijaw Youths, I expect you to also condemn Tochukwu and his fellow Igbo ritualist.

As an Ada Igbo myself, I am really troubled with the way Igbo youth are getting involved in Ogwu Ego. This has nothing to do with tribalism. We Igbos should tell ourselves the bitter truth.

Chai !! Nsogbu Dikwa !!

I am reading in shame the disgraceful act of some indigent Ijaw youths in Biagbolo, Bayelsa against innocent traders of Igbo extraction under the guise of avenging the death of 17-year-old Faith Omosovu Pius, who was murdered by a certain "Tochukwu" suspected to be of Igbo extraction.

While I'm concerned about the gruesome murder of Faith and the calamity it has brought on the people of Biagbolo, the family of the deceased and the entire Ijaw nation, I can't help but condemn the irresponsible and barbaric actions of some youths in the community in reaction to the sad incident.

Firstly, the youths must understand that even in animal kingdom the action of a an animal cannot be said to be that of the entire group except they assent to it. So why should responsible and law abiding traders be meant to pay for the sin of a particular individual? Why should we take action that even animals will frown at? We are meant to be above every animal, so why should we do what they despise? What concerns the Igbo businessman in his shop with the action of Tochukwu?

Secondly, our people in Bayelsa must realise that any society that does not make herself to be conducive and accommodating to visitors and investors is bound to the ruins. Even the greatest economies in the world open their doors to people with legitimate interest. Why should some Bayelsans take action that discourages not only existing Businesses but also prospective businesses?

Thirdly, what about if every tribe in Nigeria adopt such strategy? What about if Yoruba people attack Ijaws in their various communities in Ikorodu and other parts of Ogun and Lagos States simply because some misguided Ijaw people took their militancy to a higher realm by engaging in kidnapping, armed robbery, reckless killings and other social vices within Yoruba land? Will it be justified?

And fourthly, how are we even sure that the culprit has no Ijaw accomplice? Will they kill all Ijaws and destroy their sources of livelihood if an Ijaw man is found out to be an accomplice?

For the sake of sanity, a crime has been committed, the appropriate thing to do is to ensure that the authorities act on it and justice be done, while working with the Igbo community/traders within the locality to ensure that the culprit and his accomplice(s) are not shielded.

I urge the Police and Bayelsa state government to do all within their powers to ensure that justice is not only done to Miss Faith but also to those Igbo traders that fell victim of the misguided actions of some youths in the community.

In strong terms, I condemn the violence against law abiding Igbo traders and residents in Bayelsa state. I sincerely apologize over the barbaric action of those misguided youths.

Ijaw means truth, the truth we must not compromise. In Peace Faith...





May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

If you are an ada Igbo, then Satan is reigning in heaven. Why can't u be proud of your own tribe. And why u had to go to extent of pretending to be Igbo baffles me. What purpose does it serve?

kpodosky:

It vexes me when you act like you have monopoly on who us Igbo. How far have you travelled ? Jesus! do you know there are Igbo everywhere! with unique backgrounds.

During my service year in Ondo , in that interior village were Four Igbo people doing odd jobs and one restaurant lady.
she has kids all speaking "Afonja" how I knew they were igbos was I received a call from home and replied my mom in Igbo, the woman was happy and had her second daughter serve me all the time ( and insist on speaking Igbo anytime I come to eat) they daughters don't speak well but they understand.
Thanks to her I was able to survive the food there. There is a large Igbo population here in Brisbane too. Very little of the kids even know how to speak or write igbo and I also grew up among "Afonja" in Lagos.
You people should stop claiming who is Igbo or not because others don't agree.We are a large and diverse bunch.

dreamworld:

U must be very stew pid to write that igbo etche/ egbema people are not igbos. u should also say ohaji/egbema part of imo state are not igbos too, anu mpam

Hausa envious of Igbo.

Yoruba envious of Igbo.

Ijaw envious of Igbo.

South Africans envious of Igbo.

Malaysians envious of Igbo.

The whole world envious of Igbo.

Please tell yourself the truth, something is fundamentally wrong.

Fx55:
I wouldn't fault your opinions on this issue... But we need to get the facts straight. I live in Yenagoa and I'm Igbo... So I'll be stating the facts as they are... For the singular reason that I'm on ground and have been abreast of this issue.

First of all, the name of the community is Biogbolo and not Biagbolo as you wrote.

1. There was an unfortunate and regrettable incident of the gruesome murder of a young Ijaw girl by a supposed Tochukwu of Igbo extraction.

2. No single Igbo person or property was attacked in Yenagoa.

3. Ijaw youths from Biogbolo community held a peaceful protest demanding for justice for the murdered young lady.

4. Tempers were high but at no time did things get out of hand or turn violent.

5. The media has blown this issue out of proportion for whatever reasons I may not be able to explain. Funny enough I learnt about the incident on this forum. It wasn't such a big deal as being speculated in the media.

6. Ijaw and Igbo communities in Yenagoa live peacefully with each other and there's a very high level of mutual respect for each other between the two groups.

7. Things are currently back to normal. Everybody has gone about their business and the matter has been left for the law enforcement to fish out the criminal so he can face justice.

Omoluabi16:
I like people like you who are objective.

Aniwura:






Because they are too anxious to make money then any other tribe in Nigeria. So try to look inward and check yourselves.

melodies:
The Igbo traders displayed insensitivity by opening shops when told not to by the grieving people which led to the issue

paramakina202:


Well,thank God for internet we are nolonger in the days where everyone depended on Lagos/Ibadan newspapers where they dish out hateful propaganda day in day out againgst the East unchallanged.
Since beginning of time no Eastern tribe have gone out of the way and start murdering each other for any reason.
Easterners are not barbaric and whoever that commited murder must be found and punished according by law.

Ogonimilitant:
If truely you are igbo. You a disgrace to igbo race for beleiving such crap of a story

Siscooh:

According to you you are objective. You should have sat quietly. Yoruba will never do what you just did, likewise the house. Reasons why you guys are marginalized, taken for granted etc
Gra gra comment Vivian would do nothing. Speak at your circles, gathering, talking to one another. You guys should organize events to talk and pray for this shame to be erased even from the minds of people.
You can't isolate yourself but keep the unity. Why am I even ranting. I just felt your comment is somehow!

Adiola:
I hope you ll also like an Igbo Yoruba wanna be objectiveness

Omoluabi16:
I like people like you who are objective.

Omoluabi16:
Absolutely. I don't care, yoruba igbo or whatever tribe.so long you see things devoid of ethnic coloration and stand on truthfulness without bias, then I'll respect you.

Adiola:
you? chief propagandist and grand patron of nairaland Yoruba tribalist please go to the mirror and say this you typed.

tifany89:

You call that rubbish post being objective? Says a lot about the type of person you are. Is yoruba perfect? How many times have u called your people out? Even when FFK does dat I see the barages of insult your type helps on him. Hypocrisy is a disease moreover dat dickhead is an impostor
