ur mother nko?

TonyeBarcanista:
Whenever the issue of Biafra comes up for discussion on social media, the position of majority of Igbos that are advocates of Biafra is one of "You are either one of us or you hate Igbo". This unfortunately, has not only cost friendship for some it has also created unnecessary enmity for others.

Who Are The Anti-Igbos?
I don't have to consult the Oxford dictionary to know that an anti-Igbo is simply someone that is against the legitimate interest and struggle of the Igbo nation and HATES anything and everything that has to do with the Igbo. Such people are cancer to the society

Pro-Biafrans Tag The Wrong People Anti-Igbo:
Do the Biafran agitators really know the anti-Igbo elements in Nigeria? To them, the anti-Igbo is any person or group from the south south region that states and maintain that they and their group are not a party to the Biafran arrangement. The anti-igbo is the ethnic nation in the Niger-Delta that does not believe in the Biafran arrangement and also find it unacceptable and highly provocative that the promoters of Biafra continue to 'force' them into what they've never believed in. To these agitators, the only way to show that you are not against the Igbo interest is ONLY by pledging alliance to their proposed Biafra.

Addressing Their Ignorance/Misconception
I have always maintained that self determination is not a privilege but a right. I'm NOT against the Igbo Biafran agitation and will always support them to decide for themselves. However, I believe that the right to self-determination is not the exclusive preserve of ANY single group. Every single ethnic nation within the South-south region have the RIGHT to determine whether or not to be part of Igbo Biafra. So if the Itsekiri man believe that Biafra is not ideal for him, should that make him anti-Igbo? If Urhobo, Ogoni, Ijaw, Ikwerre, Oron etc believe that fiscal and regional autonomy is their demand and they collectively(and individually) agree on this, should this make them anti-Igbo? Are pro-biafrans aware that Ogoni, Oron, Urhobo, Ikwerre, Ijaw etc have long submitted their respective demand, bills of rights and declarations to the United Nations, African Union and the Nigeria state long time ago? Is it not proper that every group face their respective struggles and those that see need for collaboration do same on mutual agreement? Has there been any agreement between IPOB/MASSOB and the Ijaw National Congress/Ijaw People Assembly or Ijaw Youth Council for the Igbo-Ijaw Biafran State? Has there been any between IPOB/MASSOB and Urhobo Progressive Union? Has there been any with the Ikwerre Youth Council, Oron People or the Ogba people? Has there been any with MOSSOP(Ogoni)? Has there been any with Bini and Esan people? Has the position of these nations changed? Does their position on fiscal federalism and autonomy within the Nigeria State makes them anti-Igbos or anti-Biafra? Does the fact that I maintain the position of my people that we have no agreement with anybody at ANY TIME to be in any Biafran nation makes me anti-Igbo?

When all the ethnic nations in the Old Midwest(Edo and Delta states) agitated to be carved out of the Old Western region, it never made them anti-Yorubas even though the Western region government and the Yorubas preferred they remain in same region with them. The Yorubas never saw them as enemies of O'odua nation.

To Each Their Own Struggle:
If the Igbos believe that a sovereign Biafran state is their only demand, then I will advice that they pursue it with every legitimate tool available. However, that Biafra is their demand DOESN'T mean it is the demand for other ethnic nations in the South-South. Ethnic nations in the SS want Fiscal/Regional Federalism as contained in their bills of rights/declarations. I don't think that it is sane for any pro-biafran Igboman to have any problem with this except he deliberately decides to trouble himself and make himself his own problem.

Let me reiterate that it will and amount to folly and crass ignorance for any IPOB/MASSOB person to tag anyone that doesn't share their Biafran ideology as anti-Igbo. All those propagating this anti-igbo sermon just to blackmail some people should wake-up and face reality. I sympathise with the Igbos and wish them well in their Biafran struggle. I also believe that some day our own people shall get (not given) our resource control demand. If opportunity for a referendum comes, our people shall determine for themselves whether or not to remain in Nigeria. Let me use this medium to appeal to the Igbos, Fulanis, Yorubas, Igalas etc to consider and support our resource control demand.

My Loyalty To Ijaw Nation, ND and Nigeria:
My loyalty to the Ijaw nation, the Niger Delta and the Nigeria State(whose ID I carry and anthem I sing) is one that I can't betray. If my people see need to opt out of the Nigeria State, then we shall push for a peaceful referendum without resorting to any move that will put the life of anybody at risk just like the MidWesterners did.

Finally, I want to assure my pro-Biafra Igbo friends and political allies that I don't hate their tribe nor any other ethnic nation in Nigeria. I am not against them having their Biafra and will always support their legitimate interest. My Igbo friends should understand that I owe my people the responsibility of promoting our own struggle and interest whenever opportunity arises. This shouldn't make me an anti-Igbo.

Anyone that still pick offence in this article should fix an appointment with a spiritualist.

Please understand there is a huge difference between IPOB and the Igbo nation. IPOB is a movement and not synonymous with Igbo. I'm quite sure you know, that not all Igbos are in support of IPOB. When you develop your thread, why not make it specific to IPOB, and stop generalizing it to the Igbo nation. I wish every Igbos on nairaland will learn to ignore commenting on such thread, as this will naturally kill this overwhelming emotional tendency for notification.
I’m still amazed at the level of sensation displayed by one HopeAtHand and TruckPusher on Igbo matters. I will suggest you guys transfer that e-aggression on IPOB members and save the day. Enough of this ethnic inferno. It is taking us nowhere. The Nigerian Project can still succeed. Let’s give PMB a chance.

Where art thou o ye son of Lucifer.

tonychristopher:
. People now put up posts to address Igbo problems which the Igbo should go and face at the command of these ‘patriotic’ Nigerians. These patriotic Nigerians will bypass Asaba, Owerri, Enugu but would quickly bring up Aba in every of their discussions. And we already know why they do these. Listening to these ‘patriotic’ Nigerians, one would begin to wonder whether all the polio-ridden beggars at every junction on major cities across Nigeria were Igbos – or that those reckless and moronic okada riders at every part of Lagos known for their heavy combination of illiteracy, arrogance and stupidity were Igbos. Or that all the illiterate meghards across Nigeria were all Igbo people.

TonyeBarcanista:
Boss I de hide o. Lol... I de prepare my tomorrow 'ministerial wailing' thread.

Truckpusher:
Lmao @ Ministerial wailing thread.

is anything wrong with they the niger deltans agitating for there own independence just as u igbos are agitating for urs.if they respect ur right to have ur independent state why wont u guys respect there right too.i believe everybdy can survive on his own if there leaders rule with the fear of God.but with the way i see u igbos attack him for airing his opinion on the biara issue,i just see no difference btwn u guys and the hausas u so much dispise.

dinachi:
Have y'all noticed that Barcanista never calls for a president of Igbo origin? That is enough to convince Igbo fools who were decieved by Ijaw people the second time to vote Jonathan.

BiafranAvatar:
I wonder how some mofos thinks,, if Biafra is an Igbo thing and should SS be left out, I wonder if going by that scenario justifies what Barca and his cohorts are seeking cus I'm curious to know when exactlyv did Niger Delta Has Become a tribe and do should agitate under one canopy for Niger Delta Republic...



I call it Self Inflicted Delusion!!!

Themonster:
Otu nne i ebea ediot

I'll vote Jonathan's shoe instead of voting for a gworo chewing gorilla bullharry so get out your mind games ain't working.

because igbos will rather boycott any Nigerian election than to vote a terrorist like Buhari so i repeat
gerrarehia meeehn

Drchristian:

BiafranAvatar:

Drchristian:

SeverusSnape:
Barcanista is a joker.

Truckpusher:
You do have a point ,we were being civil until the IPOB touts and miscreants started generalizing and we had no choice than to show them that we too can play dirty after all every region and tribe has something to talk about the others.

You see, we were talking about IPOB's stupidity before they started cursing all the Niger Delta people and we've got no choice than to pay them back in the same coin.
Now that you've managed not to curse like them can't you see my reply? respect is reciprocal they say.
All the same thanks for your mature input but if they curse my people I will reply them back with every vile and abominable thing in my mouth.Kpomkwem

Themonster:

ediotic bastard.
IPOB is a body and not all are members but we are fully behind them so shove your sweet talking inside your useless asss. bastard mugu
just do me a favor nigga gerrarahia for real meehn

dinachi:
Fools like you are ready made mumu for barcanista and other Ijaws to use. You hate Ngige and Okorocha great Igbo men but you love Jonathan an Ijaw man. Your mother's bride price was a complete waste! Go and suck Jonathan's Ijaw ass, I very much prefer to stick with great Igbo men like Rochas and Ngige who made the right political calculation. You can continue following Jonathan the Ijaw failure! You are a yesterday man, Jonathan is past tense, Buhari is present tense!

abduljabbar4:
The barcanista that you fought us for?

Forget these fools @tonyebarcanista. We are solidly behind you on this matter. We defend the truth and not our party. These people are only interested in your oil thats why they are trying to drag you into their Biafra. Thieves

vladimiros:
[size=13pt]Tonye, I am one of the few fans you have left in Nairaland.

I am also from the Niger delta (akwa ibom)

We Niger deltans should not try and bring problems into this Biafra issue, we have been marginalized in our own ways, we should seeks ways to dialogue with them and cooperate with the Igbos[/size]
