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.

omenka:
I had to go over the article twice to see where the op stated that the West is the South yet didn't find it. Please can you help me with the line where he did??

I thirst for the day Nigerians would play politics without the twin evil elements of tribe and religion.

There's no point barking OBJ did absolutely nothing it was how God wanted and for the ijaws to learn..was he not the same OBJ that finished Odi people of Bayalsa? I think the below link will educate you further on midwest and Yoruba relationship:

TonyeBarcanista:

As usual, you cry more than the bereaved. The Odi incident was a condemnable event as soldiers killed a whole community to avenge the killing of police and military operatives by some criminals in Odi. Same replayed in Ziki Biam, Benue state in 2001. But we've MOVED ON! In fact, Bayelsa state gave Obj 90% in 2003... And Obj replicated the favour by giving us VP and President in 2007 and 2011 respectively. Again, why are you pained?


As for Midwest, I don't know why you are still convulsing.

I WAS INVOLVED AS A PARTISAN POLITICIAN
I am hesitating to write about the story of the creation of Midwest or Edo State, for another reason. I was an active partisan politician at the University of Ibadan opposed to both the NCNC and the AG, the two popular political parties in the two provinces of Benin and Delta. I was also a political science student at the University of Ibadan with a knack for the drama in the Western Region and its impact on the politics of 1964 Federal Elections.

It is simplistic to label the NCNC as pro-Midwestern Region from the abundance of the goodwill of the Igbo or their leader, Dr.Nnamdi Azikiwe. It is also simplistic to label the AG as against the new Region from the wickedness of the Yoruba and their leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Maybe we should ask few questions:

What was so special about Midwest that was absent in the Calabar-Ogoja-River State?

Why should the NCNC support the creation of a Region in the West and not in the East and in the North?

How many of us appreciate the strategic decision of the NPC to go southwards in 1962 during the intra-party crisis in Action Group in the Western Region?

How many of us appreciate the impact of the monumental crisis in Yoruba land in 1962 on the creation of the new Region?

How many of us appreciate the bond between Chief FS Okotie-Eboh and Alhaji Muhammadu Ribadu?

How many of us appreciate that this bond more critical than what the NCNC appreciated to the creation of the Region?

How many of us knew of the relationship between Apostle John Edokpolor and the Sardauna of Sokoto?

How many of us knew how that impacted on the creation of the Midwestern Region?

How many of us knew why Apostle John Edokpolor was made one of the Commissioners during the Interim Administration of the new Region?

NPC STRATEGIC DECISION IGNORED SO FAR IN THE EQUATION

Some of the issues in the NPC strategic decision were mentioned to the Members of the Constituent Assembly by Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau when he was soliciting for the support of the Bendel Delegation in the Assembly during the debate on Sharia.

Of course, to many northern members of the Constituent Assembly, it was an irony that the person who moved the motion for the deletion of Sharia from the Draft Constitution was a Bendelite, Dr. Mudiaga Odje.

I am sure that these issues were new to the Members of the Constituent Assembly. My colleagues in the Constituent Assembly were amazed when Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau reminded us of the role of the NPC in the creation of the Midwestern Region. I happen to know because that was my party.http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/omoruyi/121102.html

Unamad:
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.

Tequilah:


Guy, I have read the article, o! I did not see anywhere where the writer said anything bad or contrary to the good relationship that exists between the Mid-West and the Yoruba. In fact, he spent more time highlighting various relationships between major figures of different ethnic groups, and the different roles played by various individuals in the formation of the regions and subsequently, state creation.

For instance, Chief Enahoro opposed the creation of old Mid-West region because he did not want to be a big fish in a small pond, but later turned round to actively support the creation of old Bendel State!

Lordave:
Some gullible Yorubas are already falling for this politricks.

ola6:


Trust me, we are not gullible, we are not igbos. We think before we act and we don't make emotional decisions.

Thank you!

In addition, whether awolowo was a tribalist. AWOLOWO and the entire yoloba were the biggest tribalistoc in Nigeria politics at that time. It is stated and documented yoloba destroyed Nigeria politics and brought the high tribalism in Nigeria politics. This is a FACT.

To buttrush my point


http://www.dawodu.net/igho.htm

A statement written by Igho Natufe [a mid westerner].

Just because someone in his desperate attempt to make friends does not makes him the voice of others. We all know who brought in tribalism in Nigeria politics. We all know the insignificant of yoloba in creation of mid west. We all know the difficult journey to achieve that feat with yoloba beating every aspect down. The desperate no life having nigg@ can do himself a f2king favor and write about the ijaw-yoruba relationship and stay the hell away from dragging Midwest to that B.S.
We all know the f2king sh1t our people underwent by those people's hand.

ikechu1278:
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.

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.

ikechu1278:


Mulattoclaro that was busted for being a yoloba coward with pictures verifying it
Spanishkid, mulattoclaro other ID. Really? Really?
Good the f2king bye.

I'll repeat wtf I wrote and you can look up to veufy it.

Yoloba brought tribalism in Nigerian politics... direct link proving it is above
Yoloba marginalized mid west..direct link proving it is above
Awolowo played no factor in mid west creation rather NCNC, NPC and the mid west parties did...direct link proving it is above.
Awolowo was a snake who tried to play mid west and many were suspicious of his "support" and later confirmed his snake self... Direct link proving it is above

Lastly all I wrote is from verifiable, documented MID WESTERNERs. Not "WE SS, we deltans, we edo mofos" on anonymous NL.
So no, not just my voice. I provided links and book pages for a reason.

Like I said all of us from any state in modern day mid west know our history and let you mofos can do us a favour and not rewrite it. He can write whatever the f2k he wants to about ijaw..i don't care.

Now swerve out of my mention. Ewu

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!

Freemanan:
Chief, this is NL...
Learn how to accommodate Maladies and Senselessness.... It reeks all over here...

DiademSh07:

LOL!
See this high class dunce again!
You mean Yoruba should be watching like dumbos while Zik appoints his fellow ibos in the western government?
First and foremost, what business does Zik have in the west, most especially when his fellow ibos allowed no such thing in the east? The ibos didn't even give voice to the minority in the eastern Nigeria yet also, want to lord over the west too!
I said once that Awolowo is the best thing to have ever happened to the Yoruba nation and I'll keep saying it, not just for him chasing you self entitled greedy land grabbers from the west but for crushing Biafra, thus, preventing Ore, Ondo, Lagos or any part of Yorubaland from becoming ibos! Benue is a case study!

ikechu1278:


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?

DiademSh07:

LOL!
Ibo and lies, eh!
When did such thing happen?
Did you mean the kind of 'busting' you gave @sweetlemon whom you kept claiming was busted against all sanity!
You are so pathetic, it aint funny anymore!

DiademSh07:

And who told you Asaba is more midwest than the Ijaw, Bini et al?
Last I checked, the then Bendel state was seeking for ways to join the ibo kins in the midwest with their brethren in the east!
As an iJaw man, Barcanista has more right to speak on the mid western state that you parasitic Asaba man!

Meanwhile, Oba Eweka II became increasingly concerned about the long-term implications of various administrative proposals for new regions that would ride roughshod over the unique history and independence of most of the peoples of the Central Province, which later became the Benin and Warri Provinces.  Therefore, in 1926, he requested the British to bring all the Edoid and Anioma (Western Ibo) areas together in one region that would have a direct reporting relationship with the center. He argued that the people of the Benin and Warri provinces were predominantly of one linguistic, cultural, religious, chieftaincy and historical stock and had functioned in the same cultural system before the British came. [File BP 44,VOL 1, The Oba of Benin. National Archives, Ibadan].  

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

TonyeBarcanista:

As usual, you cry more than the bereaved. The Odi incident was a condemnable event as soldiers killed a whole community to avenge the killing of police and military operatives by some criminals in Odi. Same replayed in Ziki Biam, Benue state in 2001. But we've MOVED ON! In fact, Bayelsa state gave Obj 90% in 2003...

As for Midwest, I don't know why you are still convulsing.

scholes0:


Remember the case of Eyo-Ita who was the then leader of the Eastern regional government pushed overboard by Zik and co, in their bid to put an end to the agitation for an Ogoja-Calabar-Rivers region carved out of the old East?

DiademSh07:

LOL!
When I thought I've seen worse from you!
At least, you should be bold enough to quote a reputable source for your post!
So shameless!

ikechu1278:


Oh yes
Nowamagbe Omoigui is not a good source
Igho Natufe is not a good source
Frank ukonga is not a good source
Rotimi suberu is not a good source
Isidore okpewho is not a good source
Etc.

The only good source is tonyebarcainsta on NL and the several yoloba monkiers on here trying to rewrite the history of mid west creation.

You so brain dead is a miracle you walking around alive.

While I'm at it dum dum, the source I quote is a direct link to an entire book from suberu. Learn how to open a link and read.

Do you see any other person supporting him despite calling them? Heck he deliberately avoided calling dearpreye and kotv cause he knows those two will kill his desperation for friendship

I'll repeat my statement once more, he and the rest of y'all can write about ijaw/yoloba relationship but never in Una miserable worthless life try to rewrite a part of my history I'm hella proud of and try to accredit that to a yoloba snake tribalist known as awolowo.
