TonyeBarcanista:
This deliberate attempt by a group with strong backing of the media to tarnish the good image of Ijaw nation and denigrate her people will be stopped. We have cohabited with the Yorubas, we have Ijaw Kingdoms in part of Ondo, though like neighbours we have had some misunderstandings in the past, we can NEVER descend so low to turn into terrorists. NEVER

TonyeBarcanista:

As for Buratai, I don't blame him. I blame those idiots NDA that engaged in economic terrorism thereby inviting the unprofessional Nigeria Army on our soul to inflict pains on innocent Ijaw people.

I denounce ANY Ijawman that is part of NDA

Sheggy13:

You can't speak on behalf of millions of Ijaws with different moral, social and educational backgrounds. It's just like an Igbo person saying Igbos cannot traffic drugs. You're not in the head of every Ijaw man in Nigeria to predict correctly what they can do or cannot do. Because you're civil and peace-loving doesn't mean every Ijaw man out there is, ditto other ethnic groups. There are good and bad elements in every tribe. The IYC President is also saying the NDA guys are not Ijaw guys when they have come boldly to identify majority of themselves as Ijaws. Just check out some of their names. You don't make categorical statements like the militants are not Ijaws. Those are mere emotional and sentimental statements. What if they're caught and found out to be Ijaw. That's one good thing about Yorubas. They're the ones that denigrate and insult their own sons more when he misbehaves, even before other tribes do. I can give you many instances.

RIZLER:
dont you have a daughter to rape or something?

TonyeBarcanista:
I have always kept mute waiting for the response of IYC over the baseless allegations and accusations by some people and group ascribing the criminality of some idiots in Ogun and Lagos states as that perpetrated by "Ijaws".

For the record, it is unfair to even assume that Ijaws will be interested in crises on Yoruba soil. We are a peaceloving and law-abiding group.

It is incumbent on the Police and other agencies to fish out perpetrators of those heinous crimes irrespective of their ethnic affiliations, and deal decisively with them.

As for NDA, as long as Ijaw nation is concerned, they are on their own.

TonyeBarcanista:

baby124:
Are they not militants and Ijaws? When you groom a monster it will come outside one day and disgrace you. You think Yoruba's will say they are Ijaw without confirming that they are? We don't make emotional outbursts.

TonyeBarcanista:

And who told you they are ijaws? Did you carry out DNA[b][/b] on them or do they write Ijaw on people's foreheads? Treat criminals like criminals.

Izon means truth, we can NEVER shield criminality

TonyeBarcanista:
You are just being theatrical. NO single Yorubaman will be killed in Ijawland without perpetrators fished out by Ijaw people and dealt with.

I recall before the election when people were spoiling for war, I said Whether jonathan wins or not, NOTHING will happen to non-Ijaws on Ijaw soil be it Fulani or Efik. Election came and nothing happened.

our strong value as ijaw people is the respect and value for human lives, we only respond in retaliation to attack on us... But again, we don't pray nor wish for such because the lives of the victims from either side are of great value.

Deal with the criminals, but it won't be appropriate to terrorise innocent Ijaws in yorubaland to prove a point.

cktheluckyman:

help me tell the useless Burutai and his fellow useless officers to do their jobs and stop pointing fingers

rigarmortis:



its just like a yoruba person saying yoruba people are not fond of ritual killing and deep forest human organ trafficking.....how does that sound?

you cant actually make your point without this billboard display of your stupidity.

AgentOrange:


My dear,

I do not support violent agitations like employed by the NDA but I just want to ask you one question, how do you advise the people of the ND to go about their struggle that will yield results?

In Nigeria, it looks like the only language understood is violence.

TonyeBarcanista:

Which ammunition?? Are Ijaw people manufacturers of ammunition or sole distributors? Did the indigene carry out DNA test? What concerns militants with Ogun state or Lagos state?

Simply put, those guys terrorising your people are CRIMINALS. They are NOT Ijaw people and do NOT represent Ijaw nation

joeyfire:
So besides ppl coming to self-service out their bigotry and racism on this thread their is NO sensible, concrete pointer to the source of this "Ijaw militant" story.

Just like how they claimed Ijaws/Igbos were behind boko haram and foreigners were behind the killer herdsmen. The day this country will fall apart it will be silent and swift. All this dangerous tribalism will be the deathblow to a weakened country.

Abagworo:
Ijaws are intelligent and are trying to avoid the death of millions of Ijaws while Igbos are begging death to come. What the IYC President said is like Ohaneze youth President saying IPOB are not Igbos.

Ndigbo should now be wise enough to understand the antecedents. It's obvious that should any war start Ijaws will immediately declare their support for one Nigeria while Igbos will die naively. I pray for my people.

pepigeorge:


Stop making allegations u dont have substantial proof of. The militants are SOMALIANS after all the dullard PMB said the fulani herdsmen are lybian terrorist and you all knowing yoruba kept mute...
