Keep your emotions in check

Not all tribes are trouble makers

There are many forums for insults and for IPOB youths , go and find them.

We like building relationships here

CeterisXVII:


God bless you one million times on Sundays, and five million times on weekdays! People forget that there are Ijaw communities who are indigenous to Ondo State & Edo State, stretching down to Rivers.

Unlike some ethnic tribes that blame others for their woes, I do believe a synergy of like minds across different ethnic groups working together for the common good, can change the fortunes of our nation in a positive way!

Leopardd:
psssst, this barca nigga should get real with himself and get something doing.

swaying left and right, typical nigerian politician. Ok, as usual time to blame and slay Igbos and go back to Yorubas. Pssst! Nah. Crazy.

TonyeBarcanista:

You see why I insist that you should get your fact right?

I said and I quote.....
.
You rushed to claim that Awo never created the ministry. Lemme cure your ignorance...




That shows that he was very much concerned about MidWest Affairs.



Like I said, you should get your fact right... And save other irrelevant epistles for yourself.

This concept meant that rather than a new Midwest region, the Midwest would be managed under a “Ministry of Midwest Affairs” concurrently under his supervision as the Western region Minister for Home Affairs. Chief Awolowo accepted this concept.

You are a fool if you think the guy you quoted was inaccurate. During the time APC yoloba called the loser tonyebarcainsta "protection seeker" and belittled him, the slowpoke wrote multiple threads on "relationship between Igbo and ijaw". Hell he deleted his barcainsta I'd yo hide all his attacks on igbo during his desperation to make friends. Fast forward to now Igbo are against him, like the loser is now writing stories,of Yoruba and ijaw relationship. . The guy is a complete unknown loser, based on his act on NL, has zero life outside of NL. This is his real identity. When he gets pushed out by a set, he goes about looking for friends from others. Like duh?

TonyeBarcanista:

See yourself, are you an Efik, ibibio or annang man? You feel threatened because I seek to bring to the fore the benevolence of Yoruba sons towards the Ijaws and other ethnic south south minority groups. Your fear made you cook up the 'igbophobia thrash and other nonsense.

By the way, Ijaws are primarily concerned with RESOURCE CONTROL like other ethnic groups in the SS. We are NOT calling for secession yet. In fact, we are primarily concerned with furthering to achieve our noble demands. I don't know why you are acting insecure.

Any relationship with yorubas or other groups is for our own interest. GEJ our brother lost election but we all saw how close Dickson/Sylva contest was... In other words, we have moved on to the next chapter...

Grow up!

ikechu1278:


Is this fool for reals...

It clearly stated on that link it was created to COUNTER the creation of Midwest. Can't you f2king Read?



What in your illiterate mind so you think you opposed against my statement?

In addition, equally stated the creation was done by Enahoro

Awo also created Ministry of Midwest just to pacify the midwersterners(now Edo and Delta) when they agitated for a region of their own because he doesn't want Western region to split.

Unamad:


One fact is Igbo had the Vice Presidency ticket under APC but becos of GEJ let it go so as not to share south east vote.

Igbos have been punished more than any tribe becos of GEJ support.

Further, GEJ had a responsibility to all in his administration to retain power for another 4 years but he was too weak.

I doubt comments of TonyeBarcanista an Itsekiri man that did not support GEJ presidency but claims to be Ijaw has any standing.

Igbos are not holding anybody from joining Oduduwa, but we have made it clear that we want Biafra.

TonyeBarcanista:
Another emotionally disturbed fellow. Which VP ticket did Igbo have under APC? Who is lying to you guys? How can you be deceiving yourself to say Igbos let go of VP slot in APC to vote GEJ? Who was the Igbo VP person? See dude, you supported Goodluck which is okay but STOP using it as blackmail tool. It doesn't work that way man.

That you supported Goodluck does NOT invalidate the historical relationship between Awo and Ikoli, an Ijawman. It doesn't negate the fact that Awo's advice made Gowon to give us our Rivers state. That people voted for PMB or others doesn't mean they hate Ijaw. Election is purely a game of choice. Politics... Damn, even Sylva(Ijawman) didn't vote for Goodluck... Same way Ribadu(Fulaniman) didn't vote Buhari.

If you like say I'm bantu na your business... Na your toroh o...

TonyeBarcanista:

I don't like responding to people like you. The question I keep asking is WHY ARE YOU PAINED? The Ijaws have always seek hand of fellowship with Yorubas over the years. It doesn't start with Barcanista and won't end with him.

The Yoruba/Fulani gave us Rivers state. A yorubaman supported our own tribesman in local election. A yorubaman supported our son to VP and Presidency of Nigeria. A Yorubaman gave us NDDC. Have you heard any Ijawman saying he hates Yorubas? We have Ijaws in Ondo state that are doing fine with their neighbours. Kingsley Kuku and Sowore(SR) are Ijaws from Ondon states. They are well... So it's not about barcanista...

That some of you choose to hate Awo does not mean that we do. And by the way, what is making you feel agitated by the thread? Check post history, I have no ish with the yorubas even at the heat of the backlash from my defection. Yes, we fight for politics but not for tribal interest. So what is actually your problem?

Quit being emotionally disturbed and grow up boss!

TonyeBarcanista:

This is pure BADERASH sir!

OBJ brought GEJ, Ijaw nation and the South-South to national stage when the odds were against GEJ. They fell out so it was natural for Obj to jump ship. Beside, GEJ reneged on an agreement so it is a different issue.

On Ikoli, you probably just heard of him but Sir, Awo supported him TWICE not once. Awo didn't support him because he(Awo) wanted the position, he did out of pure love,loyalty and conviction. You can keep your own theory away. This is a very serious matter.

Beside, he died, he wasn't killed... Abi na Awo be him God to preserve him life? Bros abeg shift. Thanks

U are an Itsekiri man, my question for you is why are u now claiming Ijaw after campaigning against Jonathan in favour of Buhari?

Which Ijaw man will support a Aboki over his brother? Which Igbo man, yoruba man, hausa man will do that in this Nigeria?

If you want the Ijaw to join Itsekiri in Oduduwa, just ask them and stop forming imposter. It is childish.

Igbos countless times have said Biafra is not by force. Ijaws are free to join Oduduwa if that is wat they elect.

TonyeBarcanista:

Azikiwa wasn't smart at all. Which one is Lagos-yoruba and anti-Ijebu sentiment? Was Ikoli Yoruba at all? I don't even understand their argument. Wasn't Akinsanya a legitimate yorubaman? How can he and Zik accuse Awo of tribalism when Awo was a Yorubaman like him? This is like accusing me of being tribalistic for supporting Wike(Ikwerre) instead of Dakuku(Ijaw). Or accuse Sylva of tribalism for supporting Buhari(fulani) instead of GEJ(Ijaw). Na wa o! That doesn't show any sign of sportsmanship.

TonyeBarcanista:

Yar'adua's death didn't give GEJ's ticket in 2011... Obasanjo's influence did. Did Yar'adua death negotiate and convinced PDP northern delegate? If Obasanjo hadn't used his structure, do you think GEJ would have even emerged runner-up in the primary? Does GEJ have political strength as at then(even now) like Atiku and IBB?

Give credit to whom it is due and glory to God. Even the VP slot was through Obasanjo!

though it flirted with various ethnic and political minority associations in the North, the NCNC was involved primarily with associations agitating for the separation of the Mid-West (which included a significant Ibo population) from the Western Region. These associations included the Benin-Delta Peoples Party (BDPP), the Mid-West. State Movement (MSM) and the Otu-Edo

Given its commitment to the continuity of the regional system in general, and to the stability of its redoubtable Northern regional base in particular, the NPC was the least enthusiastic of the major parties about employing the strategy of inciting or supporting separatist movements in regions controlled by rival parties. Nevertheless, the NPC ultimately came to be associated with the Niger Delta Congress (NDC) in the East and the Mid-West Democratic Front (MDF). Indeed, the NPC’s support was a decisive factor in the eventual establishment of the Mid-West as the fourth region of the federation in 1963

The creation of the Mid-West Region was the outcome of a determined assault by the NPC-NCNC coalition Federal Government on the AG opposition

Both the AG, a creation of Egbe Omo Oduduwa, and the Northern Peoples’ Congress (NPC), were founded to promote Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani interests respectively. That the NCNC later became to be perceived as an ‘Igbo’ party was not entirely the design of Igbo political elites, but rather the machinations of some powerful Yoruba nationalists who did not cherish the notion of an Igbo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, becoming the premier of Western Nigeria.

As the leader of the NCNC, Azikiwe was to be the first premier of Western Nigeria following the elections of 1951, with Obafemi Awolowo, a Yoruba, the leader of the AG, as the leader of the opposition in the House of Assembly. It should be recalled, with profound sadness, that prominent Yoruba traditional leaders and political elites exerted pressure on a number of Yorubas elected on the NCNC platform to "cross carpet" in the House and join the AG, in order to deny Azikiwe the premiership in favour of Awolowo. The concept of "carpet crossing" was thus introduced into Nigerian political discourse. Azikiwe had assumed the leadership of the NCNC following the death of Herbert Macaulay, a Yoruba. There would have been no basis for "carpet crossing" if Macaulay, and not Azikiwe, were elected premier of the West on the NCNC platform in 1951.


As a result of this blatant injection of ethnicism into Nigerian politics, Azikiwe was compelled to "return home" to the East where he became the premier of the government. It is safe to postulate that, were it not for this event, the post 1951 development of Nigerian politics could have been spared much of the instability and crisis the country has experienced. This was a vital turning point in the political history of contemporary Nigeria. It helped to influence most Igbos to seek political shelter in the NCNC, just as the AG became privatized by most Yorubas, and the Hausa-Fulani political elites sought comfort in the NPC.

This is my last post on here. For those interested in knowing who played the major part in the creation of Midwest, whether Western politician marginalized mid west, and all the other BS that tonyebarcainsta tried to rewrite above in his desperate attempt to make friends.

Here's the actual FACT.
Every region, both north, west and east marginalized the minorities within their region which influenced multiple minorities party to merge up in other to separate each minorities,out of the dominate groups aka Igbo, yoloba and north.

All three dominant groups opposed the creation of each new region from their state, yoloba was not an exception. In fact, out of all three West was the only region that sacked mid western out of west after the Midwest creation.

Neither akintola, awolowo or any yoloba played a huge role in the creation of Midwest instead outside of Edo, urhobo and anioma, NCNC and NPC (both a SE Igbo led and an Hausa led group) played the major role in the creation of Midwest. In fact, the referendum conducted in Midwest was not because of yoloba but rather the influence of NCNC and NPC.

To butterish my points


http://books.openedition.org/ifra/759?lang=en

This are the real factors of creation of Midwest. This are the real factors of yoloba support of mid west and this are the real factors of the major player of mid west.

OBJ is the Nigerian consitution dat dictates sucessor inthe death of a president? I will not waste time arguing with an itsekiri man and GEJ hater.

TonyeBarcanista:

So I'm now an Itsekiri-man. Funny how dumb people think they are smart.

1. Sylva and the whole Bayelsa APC team are 700000% Ijaws but they campaigned for Buhari. The case is not different from Amachree(Speaker under Amaechi), Dakuku and others...including Nairalander kel4soft. All campaigned and VOTED for Buhari. On the other hand, Ribadu, Shekarau, Shema all fulanis voted for GEJ. So where is your brain? Election is over...

2. North and the Yorubas have ALWAYS favored the Ijaws and SS... Refineries, Rivers state, Cross river, NLNG, Amnesty, NDDC, OMPADEC, ND Ministry, Bayelsa state, VP, Presidency etc all were given to us by either the Northern man or Yorubaman. Not even GEJ can speak ill about these groups.

3. I never mentioned Biafra in the op and I don't see why you are pained! We are NOT Biafrans and we have repeated this like a zillion times. Its boring.

4. If you hate Awo, we don't.

ikechu1278:
I careless about your dimwit post of yoloba/ijaw relationship. Provide a quote from me when I countered your statement of awolowo helping an ijaw win election.. I'll be waiting

My post was your attempt to rewrite MidWest creation and credit awolowo as part of it...yes or No?

I careless about your desperate attempt to make friends like the online loser you are. A no life living nigg@ gotta do what they gotta do.

Why I'm aggravated? my aggravation is your constant need to rewrite history of place you are not from. You could have written your BS without dragging mid west to it. Hell you are not from Any of the state pertaining to Midwest... while I am. The major politicians that fought for the creation of Midwest were predominately Bini, urhobo and anioma. You are neither. Just like you stayed on this forum rewriting the history of ndoki ppl, you dimwitly think I'll sit here and watch your buffoon @ss rewrite a history of a part I'm from. You must be out of your God given mind.

In addition, while I'm aggravated? Self appointing your loser self as the voice of SS when you are a NOBODY. A f2king loser who has zero life except NL. If not my visit on a more productive place aka Radio Biafra FB page, i would have fallen into that your BS of " WE SS" BS you stay on this forum writing repeatedly. Hell you are not even the voice of "ijaw". So yes I'm aggravated.

Fucking write about your ijaw/yoloba relationship and keep Midwest out of your shit..thank you very f2king much

While I'm at it, of course you didn't belittle Yoruba's after getting showed the poverty ridden protection seeker you are. Just like you didn't belittle Igbo during your desperation attempt to make friends. Problem is you think any of us forgets you.

Wen people try to complicate simple things, then they are trying to cheat another person.

I get wife, so i will not waste my time with you running from pillar to post. We are discussing GEJ and u are telling me i hate Awo, wat is my business with the tribalist?

SS have favoured the North even more. All the oil blocks are Northern own and please dont bring politicians supporting their party and looking for political office into the matter.

laudate:


Na wa, o! See as dis matter dey pain some people. Do you speak for the entire old Mid-West now? Other 'Mid-West' people like EdCure, mulattoclaro, spanishkid, freemanan have not taken up arms against TonyeBarcanista for his comment on the creation of the old Mid-West. Now you are busy raising fire and brimstone over a perfectly logical point he made.

Abeg, swerve make better people see road!
