Throwback to when Ijaw youths came to beg Igbo youths for their role in the civil war.

http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/02/ijaw-youth-beg-ndigbo-forgiveness-role-civil-war/

Who is deceiving who now?

Below are the violence inciting statements Nnamdi Kanu allegedly made;

1. "...When we speak, the Zoo trembles, that is what happens when a cattle rearing terrorist and paedophile is your ruler."

2. "If you find anybody in your village asking after Radio Biafra kill the baboon Awusa Fulani or Yoruba bastard. Let them keep searching as we keep tweeting for #Biafra."

3. "Buhari is a shameless Paedophile and rapist."

4. "Buhari is a Terrorist he should be killed."

5. "Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that
Godforsaken zoo deserves to die."

6. "Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade."

7. "The imbecilic Goodluck Jonathan is a disgrace to humanity and deserves to be skinned alive for handing over to an Hausa goat."

8. "By the time we finish dealing with the animals in the zoo, there'll be none left to tell the story."

9. "We are assembling weapons and we need some more money to thoroughly equip our military to enable us unleash mayhem on Nigeria."

10. "Niger Deltans are cowards; we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed."

11. "Buhari married his wife after raping her several times, the records are there."

12. "No Ibo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools."

13. "Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising."

14. "Its either Biafra or death..."

A man of Igbo extraction was nearly killed over the weekend for refusing to join the proscribed Indigenous People Of Biafra.

He said youths were coerced into joining IPOB.

The main purpose of IPOB’s campaign of misinformation is to confuse many Igbos with contradictory lies that will be repeated here and there until Igbos do not know what the truth is. For years, Igbos have allowed IPOB to spread lies that have poisoned the trust between us and the rest of the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

The cutting words of IPOB is worse than a bowstring. While a cut may heal, the cut of the tongue does not. Ultimately, what IPOB has succeeded in doing is stir up hatred between Igbos and the rest of Nigerians. So, I stand bold to state that IPOB is a disease; the lies and venom that they are vomiting through Nnamdi Kanu do not have to make sense to be successful as a disease.

Forty-five years after the end of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, the Ijaw youths in Rivers State have publicly denounced the role their parents played in the war.

They, however, pleaded for forgiveness, saying that if the level of awareness and information available today were in the country then, that the Ijaw would have supported the Biafran cause.

Speaking at an Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) submit held in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the president of Ijaw Youth Council, Comrade Udengs Eradiri, stated that the Ijaw erred by not supporting the Biafran cause, citing lack of awareness and misinformation.

“If we had the type of awareness and information technology we have today then, we would have stood firmly with Biafra to win the war, but we are working hard to resolve the issue,” he stated.

He expressed joy that notwithstanding their role in the civil war, “Ndigbo voted overwhelmingly for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in 2011 and since then the zone has been supporting his administration.”

According to him the Ijaw youth were pleased with the understanding and pledged that Niger Delta youths would support Ndigbo “when it is their turn to produce the next president of the country.”

He regretted, however, that the issue of injustice that led to the civil war “is still the same issue bedevilling the country today.”

Appealing to youth to work to return President Jonathan on March 28, he said the president has done well to uplift the lives of Nigerians, including the almajaris, who were neglected by leaders in the past.

Pointing at some of the things that the president had done in areas of local content, cabottage law, establishing of 12 new universities, rail system, fighting of Ebola virus, setting, among others, he said the nation had not had it so good in its history.

Speaking also at the summit, host president of Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi Okechukwu Isieguzo, said that the youths have resolved to vote for President Jonathan.

”We have decided to pitch our tenet with the re-election of President Jonathan. We are reaffirming that with our structures in the North, we will give the 25 per cent requirement to return the president to the seat, he said.

While calling on politicians who want to use the youth for their selfish ambition to desist from such act, he expressed disappointment in some ministers for not doing enough to support the President re-election bid and called on such ministers to resign.

As an Igbo man, my heart bleeds whenever I read these kind of comments by Nnamdi Kanu. I blame Igbo elders and leaders for watching this spark this madman started turn into a full blown ravaging uncontrollable inferno.

God help us.

Keep lying..... Arrewa, this is eastern media oo

If it was sumtin dt didn't favor the igbos, they will call it western media

They would have die of either of hunger or bullet like Ojukwu sent Biafra solders to war with just one bullet each and also blocked food supply to the Eastern region

Those are just miscreants like Nnamdi Kanu. True ijaw don't dine with their enemy

I see a lot of ijaw biafrans on Facebook,they know they have nothing to lose joining Biafra,where our govt will be like the UAE,every state is independent.and i prefer the ijaws because when they tell you yes they stand by it ,even nigeria suffered badly in the hands if niger delta militants.unlike ewedus that talk from two side of there mouth.they gave Jonathan there word and as usual betrayed him even killed awolowo there brother.never trust a yarriba boy they will betray you in a twinkle of an eyes.Yoruba's are so scared how Nigeria will be like without us here. unity beggars,even aworis of Lagos have rejected them.

Personally, I just want Igbos to forget everyone and focus greatly on our interests. Laser focus on Igbo interest.

We shouldn't be sticking out our necks for those who hate us, distort our history and wish us evil whether they are a minority or majority.

Igbos go truly die on top this Biafra matter.

And they are not even close to the Bight of Biafra, just because ojukwu was Eastern region Gov and Niger deltans were the minority they colonized Biafra.

Meanwhile they are not actually part of Biafra.

Not just the Ijaw, every part of the South that joined forces with the North to fight Biafra, should all be ashamed of themselves for acting cowardly and being shortsighted. Fulani moves to subdue and control the rest of the country had already become evident to every Southerner. Awolowo was already frustrated at how the North was dictating the affairs of the Western region. Now, when Ojukwu declared Biafra, others in the South should have closed ranks with him knowing that Biafra is fighting for the emancipation of all Southerners. Ojukwu even pledged to help the Yorubas reclaim Illorin and all their towns and villages up to Jebba and the River Niger. That was a very selfless offer! Yet those he was hoping would join him now turned around to team up with the same oppressors to fight Ojukwu. Even the Aburi Accord that would have granted them semi autonomy, protection and an opportunity to grow at their own pace was trashed yet they kept mute like obedient slaves.

Look at Nigeria today, all the things Ojukwu fought for has come back to haunt them. RUGA, herdsmen killings, Northern control of everything etc. and all they could do is to whine and complain. Despite everything that is happening today, some of them are still willing to close ranks with the North and fight against the interest of the South.

The chances of Yorubas ever getting Illorin and the surrounding areas back is almost non-existent today, even if Nigeria up now.

The North is greedily taking everything to their region. $2.3 billion to be spent by the Federal government building pipelines all the way from the Niger Delta to the North, if this is a viable project, private companies would have been the ones building it. Airports, rails, roads, oil exploration,and appointmentsy establishments all going to the North. Billions of dollars too are being spent in the so-called fight against insurgency in the North. Billions of dollars are being spent on the NE commission. Every damn thing is being done in the North and for the Northerners yet those in whose lands the resources are gotten are abandoned.

Gold is being mined in the North by their elite and not a Kobo from it goes to the central purse but farmlands and streams in the South have all been destroyed.

I am bewildered at how timid, naive, irresponsible, cowardly and stvpid Southern leaders are.

Spits!

I don't think Yorubas need Ilorin or are interested in getting it back.
Ilorin in the hands of the caliphate is very important connection to the caliphate for the Yoruba Muslims. It serves like a cord between them and their Fulani Muslim brothers.
You take Ilorin away from the caliphate, you severe that cord and create a rift between them and their Fulani Muslim brothers.

I think Ojukwu didn't think these things through.


Either way, the aim of this thread is to show that there is no pleasing Igbophobic entities and that they would do or say anything to get our support when they need it.
Ijaw youths were saying all these here, because they needed Igbo support for GEJ. They know the truth but choose the comforting lies. The apology tendered here was not a genuine one. It was an opportunist one.

This is same path Ikwerres and Amaechi are hoping to take.
We must know when these by default Igbophobic groups are being opportunists and not fall for their emotional gimmicks.

Amaechi and Ikwerre have maintained they are not Igbos before now, they have never been apologetic to their roles in the war, in fact they robbed salt to injury when Wike named an Edifice in Ikwerreland after Gowon, it's akin to an edifice being named after Hitler in a supposedly Israeli territory. Amaechi and Ikwerre people supported Wike with their consenting silence.
We must never forget!

You and proeast can't stop mentioning Yoruba in your biafra post.

Anyways, it's none of your concern if we're getting ilorin or not.

You should face your Ikewerre.

It seems you ain't gonna get them!
They're lost forever

The Yorubas desire to have Illorin and the surrounding back but they are so afraid and has given up out of fear. Some of their Muslims wouldn't mind teaming up with the caliphate to sabotage them. If their own people can sabotage and frustrate their own well-being and progress, is it Igbos or other Southerners that they won't betray.

Yes, granted that the Ijaw appology wasn't sincere, in the sense that their motivating factor was GEJ's reelection, some of their people have realized the errors of their parents. I do encounter them on Facebook.

What Amaechi is trying to do is nonsense and should be resisted by all Igbos. Ikwerre people have not hidden their denial of being Igbo. They have always used every opportunity to show it to the world that they are not Igbos. Their Ogbakor Ikwerre is a group that makes Igbophobia an agenda. How can they now start pushing the narrative of Amaechi being Igbo? That rubbish should never be allowed to stand, if they've realized their folly and want to rejoin the Igbo nation, then they should publicize it, publish books, articles and newspaper adverts telling the world that they have rejoined their Igbo brothers. Then Ogbakor Ikwerre should inform Ohanaeze to fix a date when they will be coming to Enugu with massive awareness to meet with them and collapse Ogbakor Ikwerre as a subgroup of Ohanaeze, and afterwards offer a press release to that effect. Anything outside of that is nonsense.

Amaechi even used another Igboman to counter Joe Igbokwe's criticism of him, and making it look like it was an Igbo agenda. We would rather support someone from Delta North, at least majority of them accept being Igbo than have anything to do with Ikwerre that believes their origin is Benin.

What do you expect Igbo leaders to do when federal government couldn't silence him with imprisonment, python dance and terrorist tag?
FG should rather be blamed for the rise of IPOB,treat Igbos fine in Nigeria today and watch IPOB die a natural death.

u have to understand that man act according to time, situation n circumstances.Their father's wanted to b part of d war n their children refuse to b a party to it,y don't u people always like to respect others personal decisions?must u impose your wish on them?

Your forefathers removed seccesion from d constitution n u are planning to add it,so that translate to d fact that ur parents can make a decision n u won't support it.

If only Igbos can permanently ignore this attention seeking clowns, much less some creek dwelling ogogoro drinking militants and savages who are on some desperate mission to disparage the Igbo nation at all cost... we will be better of for it. I've advocated we employ the good ol' "silent treatment"... don't feed the trolls, and they will get tired and crawl back from whence they came.

That's a fake news, for the record no Ijaw son or daughter neither Urhobos, Edo's Ikwerres, Ogonis, Efiks, Isokos Itshekiris, Egis, Ibibios, etc will support the mentally deranged Nnamdi Kanu and Ipob for a dismembering of our country Nigeria. it's a lie from the pit of Igbo Hell.
