That you guys should not use your parochial and selfish support for jonathan to annex Rivers State!

In fact it is a riot act from Barcanista to Ndigbo

DeviIhimself:
Honestly I felt dejected especially when I remembered how i took it upon myself to create unnecessary rivalry and hate from the people living within my district and vicinity. do you know that I have to engage my father every day in a polite and calm argument because my father is a Buhari fan back then all in the name of the love we had for Gej i know how many people i converted to pro Gej.
we didn't vote pdp because of the party we voted Gej and because of Gej igbos adopted pdp, i know the disgrace i faced when Gej lost the election and in everything just because of one baseless talk and unconfirmed reports by the people who may be enemies parading as igbos we're now the enemy hmmmm
ok naa

SeverusSnape:
I've lost my respect for the guy. Just imagine...

SeverusSnape:
Yeah... The deed has been done. Our opponents here are very very elated now. It's very pathetic.

But no matter what, That thread by barcanista was not necessary.

crotonite:
that is a very tactical move buy pmb.



when the muslim population in ph is large enough, then they will start killing the ph indigenous infidels that refuse to embrace islam(just like in jos).

TonyeBarcanista:
They did not lose to APC. Their elections was only nullified but their victory at the re-run is guaranteed

TonyeBarcanista:
The legacy of Jonathan lives on despite being out of office.

TonyeBarcanista:
You are an Igboman my friend(pls HopeAtHand help with that expose).

As for Ndoki, I will not waste my time to argue with you blindly. Even the Ndoki in Abia state are migrants from Ijaw. See what Ndokies have to say...
This issue has been dealt extensively by Ijawcitizen

amakaobiemeka:
his write up is the heart of every niger delta. Its only the part that niger delta refuses to join biafra or seceed land that scare u. Ask the cross rivers how they fought 4 bakassi. Niger delta doesnt seceed land

TonyeBarcanista:
From beginning of the thread nowhere was Igbo insulted neither was division promoted. Are you insinuating that I should not state fact as it relates with our territorial integrity? What is there that promote insult towards the igbos? Should I cede our territories to avoid insult? You guys have been insulting me and the South-South all through this thread and you are complaining of Yoruba/Hausa insult. Should I wait until something becomes a problem before nipping it to the bud?

Call me names or insult me as you wish, be rest assured that I won't reciprocate. But as a true son of my father, I won't shy away from addressing issues that relates with our heritage.

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...

For the uninitiated, what TonyeBarcanista has done with this disjointed thread, is to create a perfect and fatal ammunition for the Yoruba and Hausa ethnic warlords to further malign, insult and castigate the good people of Igbo Land, as mere land grabbers and opportunists!

Umu Igbo Beware of this attention -seeking- Slippery -character masquerading as pseudo political analyst of interest!

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.

ihatesycophant:
Thank God you said Wike is "loved" and not love in PH any more. That's a big plus for Peterside to cruise to victory.

ayoolanr:
Geeze, don't you have any shame? Your idi0cy has been exposed, yet you decide to keep acting like a charlatan rather than shut your gob, read and learn how to have intelligent conversations!!!

This is a better way of expressing your frustration and disappointment

LastProphet:
yes loved in portharcourt, but outside portharcourt will still vote and your eye will open

Eziachi:
Some of you are missing the point. The judgement was not about Wike popularity or his current performance. It was about his election being fraudulent.
Whether he is more popular than garri and water is irrelevant.
The same reason Ngige was sacked as a governor years ago, when he was doing a great job in Anambra and was equally popular at the time among the people, but the election that brought him into office remains fraudulent irrespective.
If a Messi or a Ronaldo handled the ball inside the 18 yards box it will be a penalty, irrespective of whether they are the best player in the world or not. Or that they are very popular around the world among football fans.

You guys should reason like intelligent and educated people.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

A cross section of Rivers State residents on Sunday expressed mixed feelings on the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal’s nullification of Governor Nyesom Wike’s election.

While some see the judgement as a welcome development, others view it as a bad omen.

Ben Orlu, a resident of Port Harcourt, told News Agency of Nigeria that the judgement was fair and unbiased.

He said that the tribunal’s judgement was an indication of a future with credible elections in the state.

He, however, said that honest residents of the state did not see the judgement of the tribunal as an unexpected one in view of what transpired during the governorship election.

Another resident, Lawrence Chinda, described the judgement as biased and unfair.

He said that his opinion was based on his conviction that the governorship election in the state actually held.

Mr. Chinda described Mr. Wike’s victory in the governorship election as a demonstration of Rivers State’s support for PDP.

He expressed confidence that Mr. Wike would win the fresh governorship election that would be organised within the next 90 days as ordered by the tribunal, except Mr. Wike appeals the ruling which he has pledged to do.

According to him, Mr. Wike’s achievements in less than 100 days of his being in office, is a clear indication that he is the man of the people.
In her reaction, Joy Terry, another resident of Port Harcourt, said that the judgement would offer some of the voters who missed out in the last election the opportunity to exercise their voting rights.

Ms. Terry, therefore, advised Rivers people to decide their future wisely by voting the right candidate in the fresh election.
She, however, acknowledged that Mr. Wike had the right to seek redress in the appeal court and the supreme court.

A school teacher, Comfort Brown, said that the nullification of Wike’s election by the tribunal was not in the interest of the state because “Wike has started on a positive note.

“We believe he should be given the chance to develop the state and move it forward.

“The judgement will certainly distract his administration because he will spend time and energy fighting to reverse it at higher courts.”
The Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal for Rivers on Saturday nullified the election of the Rivers governor for non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

The tribunal, sitting in Abuja, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct fresh governorship election in the state within 90 days.

The three-member tribunal, presided over by Justice Suleiman Ambursa, gave the orders in its judgment following a petition filed against the election of Mr. Wike by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate in the April 11 election in the state, Dakuku Peterside.
