Yesterday, a brother and friend(Erunz) initiated a fence-mending move between my humble self and Pro-Biafran agitators on this forum. On that thread(and subsequent thread), I read responses of those that felt insulted and aggrieved by my words, actions and positions on IPOB related issues, especially those that felt I have maligned the Igbo race as a group.

For clarity sake, it was not a deliberate act to move against the Kanu-led IPOB struggle. As a human and practicing christian, I have always been on the opinion that though an agitation may not naturally be absolutely peaceful, it should also not be inciteful so as not to put the lives of those one is trying to liberate in danger. I believe this was a strategy Moses adopted to free the Hebrews from bondage in Egypt through the inspiration of God the divine. I never deliberately opposed the struggle for liberation of the Igbo nation from the Nigeria State, I was only not in tune with the strategy employed. Human life is very precious to me, it has always been my belief that the people we want to liberate should have their lives protected.

I understand very well that my position was highly misconstrued by some Biafran agitators, couple with the fact that I became emotional along the line and engaged those that maligned my ethnic group and my person. In the process, I said things that one wouldn't have said if he was sane, and dwelt on it just to put the agitators in the defensive.

I believe that no human is infallible irrespective of our sincere intention and how good we seem to be or may want to appear. I am not infallible though I try to very sincere and fair to all groups. I never hated the Igbos nor moved to silent the Biafran agitation(I recognise right of groups to agitate for themselves). Some of us may recall that I openly stood against the obnoxious and ill conceived Decree 9(Rule 9) of Nairaland when it was promulgated. I didn't just do that for show, I did it because it is fair that people express themselves(and in a civil manner too) and not gagged. Unity is a choice and not a force.

As an upcoming politician, I'm still learning some nitty-gritty of the profession. On the course of my not-so-long political involvement, I have ruffled some feathers and offended some people-including members of my party. Though some misconstrued my message and reacted harshly publicly, a few others confronted me privately. At a point I felt like I wasn't welcomed in the PDP any longer, and was getting advances from the other group. A few people I confided on in private insisted that I stick to PDP, assuring me that I was welcomed and shouldn't leave the group.

I love Nigerians irrespective of tribes and religion, and I want advancement/development in every corner irrespective of geopolitical zones. I didn't choose to be an Ijawman or a south south man, it was the divine that made it so. I'm not better than an average Igbo or Kanuri person, hence, I have no justification maligning anybody.

From the depth of my heart, I sincerely apologise for both intended and unintended offences I must have committed through my words, actions and inactions. I am not infallible but I'm sincere in apology. Acceptance of this apology will go a long way to heal wounds. This is a sincere apology and not a ploy to get some political capital from the aggrieved.

I thank all those that showed sincere interest in the peace move, and I'm indebted to those that have decided to let by-gone be. I shall end this piece with the quote below...


"If there is no sin, there won't be need for forgiveness".


Thank You!!!




May God Bless Us All and Bless Our Aspiration.

I love Nigeria but I don't believe in one Nigeria!!!!
Give Regionalism!!!

Of what relevance is this?

DEM DON BUY YOU PICANTO ABI

Bro..... Nobody is angry with you, Nobody is asking you submit your "we south-south" to biafra. Nobody is asking you to join the struggle, nobody is asking you to promote us with your sweet posts.

All we want from you is for you stay in your lane

You're not with us in our struggle, you don't come to our meetings so you don't know us enough to form any opinion.

You hold human life sacred, good. It is because of thesame reason that we want to pull out from a group who kills at will and get away with it.

Kanu was a pro Nigeria before he became a Pro biafra, in one of their protest, he warned FG that if they fail to protect his people then he will be forced to take them out of Nigeria by force and that is what he is doing.

Don't pity us bro... Don't feel bad when we die, unlike before that they killed us without any reason, we now die for a reason and that is enough for us.

I didn't like Kanu's approach initially but Nigeria doesn't have peaceful in their dictionary, it is eat or be eaten.

So focus on Nigeria politics and leave us alone, that's all we want. You misinformed alot of people on here about us and even those that used to like us now hate us but all that hatred and negative energies are for our gain. Just like my uncle will say, there's always a soul of goodness in things evil.

Though the damage you did was unpardonable, we are Christians and we will forgive you on the condition that you stay in your lane and face your front.

There are things that you cannot get a complete understanding of no matter how hard you study and research it, IPOB is one of them so give up already.


Awaiting your next post on Nigeria politics, you're one of the few person that I can't afford to miss their posts in politics section.

IJOBA2:
DEM DON BUY YOU PICANTO ABI

Me wey no even get bicycle sef

Grow up man! You can't be everything to everyone. You seem to be swaying with the wind lately.

Nice one Barca,

TonyeBarcanista, Is Either You Are Jobless Or Underemployed...

Ujo Ndi Mba Mmiri Na Atusi Kwa M!

Mr barca, i've been observing you for quite a while and you seem to me an unstable being. Who knows the motive of your apology at this point in time, the followers are dwindling i suppose and the tactics is to apologize in order to gain them back. Bottom line is, people have finally seen you for who you really are and wont be swayed with a mere apology.

Oh lord Tonyebarcanista not again. You did this with your old account. Your inability to have a permanent opinion further reinforce my multiple assertions that you are a yoruba imposter...

Nobody cares biko!!!

If you're not bringing investments to the east, no easterner care about you.

Lolz.....

Batcanista, please hang your Boot

Lol, typical politician! So that you can score cheap propaganda abi, and get what you want. Tomorrow you call Igbos miscreants. Dude Igbos are not stvpid as you think.. Make peace with yourself and region and leave igbos outta your political equation

"Unity is a choice and not a force." One Nigeria is a scam... I remain a proud son of the Niger Delta

As an upcoming politician, I'm still learning some nitty-gritty of the profession. 

Nice that you've chosen such a career path..

Thought you are offering yourself for service?

We learn new things everyday... As i'll always say to "God bless your hustle" .....

Nobody cares biko!!!

If you're not bringing investments to the east, no easterner care about you.

Personally, I never liked south southerners after the "abandoned property saga" the SS took advantage of. So pls, Don't think you matter to the igbos cos you don't .

And stop associating igbos with political parties...we don't care for those neither

I wish the real IGBO and IPOB agitators sees this and forgive.

Politics is both a profession and a service. Hence, it is called "public service".

Keep to your tribe and your "divine" made south south! Abacha is now divine! Ewubarcanista

These IPOB or MASSOB should just be wary of all non-Igbos in their groups

@ Op

Apology Accepted.

Sins forgiven.

But kindly stay on your lane, you are a serious fair-weather friend.
So no one really cares.

NB:

My fellow IGBOs, please, this guy/man/bot should be kept at a great arms' length.
Thank you.
