Nothing conflicting.

I was empathetic and I shared the concern with the people of Bayelsa state and the Ijaw nation BUT I condemn attack on Igbos because I believe that the innocent must be protected and respected and not be attacked for the deed of a single individual.

Whenever calamity happens, people not just empathise with the immediate family but also any group or individuals that may be directly or indirectly affected. This is why people condole with Governors, Government and people when a calamity befall a member of the society/state.

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 !!

hardywaltz:
The reactions of the Ijaws shows how envious they are of the Igbos coz the name Tochukwu doesn't necessarily mean the person is Igbo coz Ndoni people of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni also bear such names likewise Etche and Asaba/Delta Igbos.

This is why anytime I hear these Ipobians including these envious Eastern Minority tribes (Ijaws Ikwerre, Urobho etc) in their fools paradise of Biafra I just laff at them coz they don't know how envious these people are.

hornyofife:
i have said it time without numbers.

the ijaws are the fulani of the delta and the yorubas of the east/.

very lazy, treacherous, expansionist and backwards. you wonder why bayelsa remains the least developed state in the delta despite its huge revenue allocation.

you will only see them claiming other delta groups land once there is oil. all the know is amnesty and oil entitlements . they don't want to work.

Afonja please, i take God beg u, find another place to write this ur nonsense so people wont think ur Igbo. Clearly u are Yoruba.


Like we have been telling u people for the last two dayz Ijaw and Igbo are not fighting and will never fight.

We don particularly condone or encourage fighting with neighbours and brothers.

Please, find another matter to channel ur hate.

BabaRamota1980:


It is a common trend but a misplaced and ineffective empathy.

During military era if the Head of State loses a member of family every governor pays visit, every governor's wife visits the wife of Head of State. That dumb practice continues today even under civilian rule.

Your empathy should stop at the family and the neighbors, no more.

Now to the issue of attack on Igbos, how long since Igbos been living in Bayelsa and how many times in that period have such retaliatory attack occur?

Underneath this episode of attack will be bottled up anger likely from multitudinal past acts of atrocities and crimes that Bayelsans ignored. This Faith issue triggered the pressure of anger held in so long.

People dont just attack spontaneously as we see here, the conscience of humanity does not operate like that. I hate to digress but take Ife example, the insults from Hausa had been ignored for long that they got complacent into thinking they are untouchable. When Yoruba touched upon them ONCE there was outcry.

Igbo has a trademark that is found every where they exist. Few years ago in Gabon the people rose in anger against Nigerians because their children would miss and never found and there is always a Nigerian implicated. Gabonese know how to differentiate Igbo ethnics from rest. They targeted them with attacks.

So the ones referred as "innocent" Igbos owe it a duty to preserve their innocence and survivability by self-policing and expelling from their midst early on the few bad eggs who if not cut off will, with time, earn them bad image, bring disrepute, attract hostility from their hosts and invite attack and death. After Yoruba demanded Fulani self-police its herdsmen rate of fulani atrocities in Yorubaland diminished significantly and then Fayose introduced patrol team on top of that we have not recorded another fatal attack. Self-policing works! Igbos should adopt it and weed out bad elements.

hornyofife:
ijaw youths have been known to be very lazy and envious of igbos in their mist.

attack on igbos have been a reoccurring event. the lastest one is not different from the previous ones only that, ikwerre born tochukwu was used as an excuse to continue their attack.

the resentment is there and there is no need to sugarcoat it. that is why i prefer a biafra of only igbo(from igbo in benue,river,delta and iganke in edo state), ibibio, efix,ogoni and maybe igalas and idomas. the rest can go to hell. Shame!!!

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...

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.
