Please correct me IF I'm wrong.

In the Fullness of time ! Honestly, politics aside, I hate this barcanista of a character!

NAIJASOM:
Nigeria as a whole is no mans land according to our constitution. If you doubt me, study the land use act. All the land in Nigeria is held by the government. Igbos did not make Nigeria a no mans land. Nigerian government (military) made Nigeria a no mans land as a way to steal oil from the locals without pay. Know your history.


So when Igbos say any Nigerian city is a no mans land, they are not far from the truth because your Nigerian constitution made it that way. If you hate it then organize a national conference and change the evil constitution.

bettercreature:
Igbos are land grabbers,that was the major reason the Oba of Lagos wanted to push them into lagoon

NgeneUkwenu:
So you guys have successfully used and dumped us?

Fear Ndi Mba Mmiri!

That's why my father advised us not to have anything to with Ndi Mba mmiri except on personal interest...

HIGHESTPOPORI:
So you mean,We IGBOs in PH should not vote Wike or you mean,you only need our votes during elections,cos I did't see any Igbo claiming PH with the natives there,are u sure ure not giving PDP problems? I no understand you at all.

TonyeBarcanista:

On the contrary, I am 100% pro-PDP. This subject is however not about PDP or APC. It is about our land, our ancestry and our territory.

wirinet:
100% supported. I have always told the Igbos on this forum that non Igbo tribes of the Nigerdelta wants nothing to do with their utopia - Biafra, but they often get offended, cursing and calling us all kinds of derogatory names like Yoruba ( Yoruba is the most derogatory name to a Biafran), backstabber, efulefu, slave, etc. Is alliance by force?

I understand their pains, Igbos need Portharcourt for sea access, and they would fight tooth and nail to include it in their Biafra. Without Portharcourt, no Biafra.

Biafrans are now calling the whole of Portharcourt Igbo land. Imagine how Yorubas feel when they say Lagos is no man's land and not Yoruba land.

Barcanista, just prepare yourself for serious war over Igwe-Ocha. You will be surprised that majority of those claiming Portharcourt are not even Ikwerre, but Igbos from anambra and imo.

Truckpusher:
And suddenly you're the mouthpiece of those persons you just mentioned ?

warrior01:


Please educate us which land have they grabbed?

TonyeBarcanista:

I don't know why some Igbos are angry and calling me names. I never abused them nor malign them. Only made some clarifications as they are. At no time did I tell anyone the contrary of what I just wrote. It's unfortunate though but we must stand together and define our destiny without fear or favor.

chocolateme:
I like op

Am sure you are alive when you land grabbers said LAGOS is no man's land,and you are here when your thief brothers were trying to rename portharcourt

Exactly what my father says,you are damn intelligent,IGBO SURELY NEED PORTHARCOURT FOR THEIR SEA ACCESS AND THEY WILL FIGHT TO THE LAST MAN TO GET IT as any land luck country are always poor

TonyeBarcanista:
Overtime there has been growing number of threads and comments by some Igbo loyalists and sympathisers of IPOB led Biafra ideology over the position of the South-South ethnic groups and in particular, Rivers state. Some have started seeing us as antagonists to the aspiration of the Igbo nation, while some others have moved towards casting aspersions on some of us.

Let me start by stating clearly that my determination to support every legitimate struggle and respect the right of self-determination by any group(s) is irreversible. However, I believe it will be proper to make some things clear with respect to IPOB led Biafran ideology.

1. Nobody in the Niger Delta and Rivers state is against Igbo
What we are saying is very simple. We respect your right to self-determine your destiny, you should also respect our right to self-determine ours. Don't determine for us even if you don't agree with us. If you believe that we have common destiny, state your terms and allow us state ours. Where there is no consensus, allow us determine our next step. If we believe in an indivisible Nigeria or a United Republic of some ethnic minorities within the region, it should be respected. Nobody should be villified for their own choice neither do we have the right to villify Igbos for wanting their land and territory out.

2. Show Respect For Our Territories:
I believe that it was Kanu that spread the fable that Portharcourt is an Igbo city, which some of you now call Igweocha. This is absolutely insulting on us the Okrikans/Ijaws especially. The city of Portharcourt is shared between the Okrikans and Ikwerres. The portion owned by Okrikans have been our fishing port for centuries. The record is there. Ikwerres are not fishermen, hence, a reflection of their settlement. The Okrikans are 100% Ijaws and 0% Igbos. Our portion of PHC is NOT Igweocha and has never been. I am not aware that the Ikwerres wish to call theirs Igweocha but in the event that they wish to, it is left for the Okrikans, Ikwerres and Rivers state government to rename the city altogether and we (Okrikans) shall determine an appropriate name for our portion of the city.

3. Show Respect For Our Land:
I have also been reading tales by sunset by some people saying that Opobo is Igboland. That is a grave insult to the Ijaws and is highly unacceptable. For the record, Opobo kingdom was formerly part of Bonny Kingdom, owned and inhabited by the Ijaws who are proud of their ancestry. The name of the Kingdom is Opoboama, and it was named after former Bonny King Opubo. The land and people pre-existed even before the coming of Jaja, an Igbo slave that was bought by Bonny chief Alali Opubo, Head of Opubo Annie Royal House. For the record, Jaja never found Opobo. He however led a section of Anna Pepple Wari(House) to break Opobo from Bonny Kingdom with the same territory and Ijaw people. The ijaw chiefs never made mistake in making Jaja their first king of the kingdom. The case of Jaja can be likened to Joseph that was an Hebrew slave but rose to become a Prime minister and Head of Government in Egypt. His ascension neither makes Egypt to be an Hebrew land neither does it make the Egyptians as Hebrews. All these are well documented. I have to state that the Ijaw nation is not in land dispute with anyone over any of our territory in the riverine areas of Rivers state. From Kalasunju, Kalaibiama, and Epellema etc are all Ijaw communities in Opobo kingdom. Similarly, Ndoki is undisputed Ijawland. In fact, Ndoki is nicknamed "kala-krike" that is mini Wakrike(Okrika). It is believed that they are descendants of Okrika kingdom. We are all Ijaws. I am stating this to educate those that may not be aware.


4. Respect For Our Brothers And Neighbours:
The people of Rivers state from Ogba, Ikwerre, Ogoni etcetera have suffered together, sacrificed a lot together and even disagreed on issues with each other at differnt times. If in their wisdom they deny being Igbos, Yoruba or Biafrans. It is their right and must be respected irrespective of whether they bear Uche, Yakubu or Folashade. The South South geopolitical zone though a political arrangement but has brought avenue for collective unity. The position of the Binis, Esans, Itsekiris, Ibibios, Urhobo, Anang etcetera should be respected. Their land, their decision and their people. No group or persons deserves to be insulted.

5. Stop Using Jonathan/PDP As Blackmail Tool:
God knows that we recognise and appreciate the support you guys gave to our brother Jonathan and his party, PDP. But, that shouldn't be a blackmail tool as expressed by some IPOB people. When it comes to ethnic/territorial issues, we have to drop the toga of partisanship and address issues from the position of our respective groups and maintain our own interest. It doesn't mean that we don't appreciate your support and sacrifice for GEJ/Wike/PDP. In fact, God sparing our lives we shall support an Igboman from South east for VP slot under PDP. Blackmailing us with the support given to Jonathan is unfair in every sense.

My dear Igbo cousins, we don't hate you. We are not your antagonists. We appreciate your support and solicit your continuous support for our people. We appreciate the sacrifice you have made for our sons and daughters. Personally, I have been a beneficiary of the benevolence of the Igbos and I appreciate it from the depth of my heart. Be rest assured of the love and support of all Niger-Deltans worldwide. This love and support is not just only for the Igbos, but to every Nigerian irrespective of ethnic affiliation that desires the progress of our people.

Our peaceful co-habitation, trusts and love can only be guaranteed when we make respect our watch word.


May God Lead Us Right and Bless Nigeria.

Woooow! See how our Igbo brothers are wailing at the bitter truth from tonyebarcanista, whom they have been buttlicking for being an antagonist to APC.. warrior01 being wailing like a dog. WE nigerdeltans made ourself clear that we are not aligning with you on your biafra struggle, is it by force?

Man, this is a very nice thread.

spanishkid:
Tell me o. These igbos never fail to amuse me. I've never met a tribe as greedy and thirsty for other people's land like the igbos. Their lands are cursed and not fit for anything. That's why they migrate in packs to other regions and even at that they don't want to know they're visitors and not indigenous people of that land. Igbos are natural born losers and land grabbers. This was what ojukwu of cursed memory was trying to do. Igbos want to annex our lands cos their lands are cursed. They use the votes they gave Gej as a cheap tool in trying to blackmail the SS into their useless biafran map. I'm happy we are speaking with one voice. We the people of SS say NO to biafra. Igbos are petty thieves. They can never change. If Nigeria is to divide today I'll join the Niger Delta Republic and not Biafra. God bless you tonyebarcanista. Do you know how many times I've been called Yoruba and accuse of running multiple monikers? I think the time has come for the people of SS to start sending these ingrates back to their wastelands.

^^^Very poignant post sir… very poignant

OGA...point of correction:WE DO NOT SHARE ANY COMMON OBJECTIVES WITH YOU GUYS.share your objectives with yourselves,by yourselves and for yourselves.we agree we were foolish in our over zealous support for jonathan,and that mistake would never repeat itself again.we do not see you people as our brothers neither do we intend going into any alliance whatsoever with you folks;cos, you are extremely unreliable and totally untrustworthy.Just like your fathers,you guys would gleefully stab us in the back all over again.

Tonye, I support you on this but please leave that lady out of your delusion.

Do not discuss anything beside politics with her or else I will burn down the NigerDelta.

You dey hear me so

That aside it is on thread such as this Nigerians would understand the difference btw the Igbos and the Yorubas.

I know how enraged many Yoruba who supported APC were when Barcanista switched camps. So many were disappointed but many more understand that any Nigerians as a right to his or her choice.

Tonye if you see one Igbo come to your rescue against the shameless balderdash from the covetous Igbos call my name.

You have buried yourself in the midst of the tribe of hatred. You go no say kaki no be leader. I pray God rescue from this storm.

Anyway I know you have thick skin for insult so enjoy it while Igbos never stop raining it because it's bound to last forever with them.

That is the difference btw the Yoruba n Igbo

warrior01:


Igbos didn't say so, the Nigerian Constitution which the Igbos fought against says so. Till then Lagos and other lands belongs to no one but all. Thank me for educating you

TonyeBarcanista:

From the word go I never abused the Igbo nation. I never at any time cede PH or any Ijawland to them. Why are some of them upset because I stated the obvious on the status of our territories? Should I, as an Ijaw let go of our patrimony for the sake of friendship? Is it not fair that we define and respect our boundaries for relationship to thrive? I don't know the problem.

Eastlink:
Igbo need P/H for sea access. Just hear yourself talk. So my community that form part of Rivers state is inconsequential right? I can bet my life anywhere that the major reason Igbo are talking about P/H is because of us(their kit and kin) trapped in it. The same way you want a united Ijawland is the exact way Ndigbo want an indivisible Igboland with all Igbo sub-groups carved inside. The day we are detach from there is the day they (Igbos) will bury the thought of your existence.

TonyeBarcanista:
Similarly, Ndoki is undisputed Ijawland.
