modath:
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" .....

TonyeBarcanista:
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.

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

Kondomatic:
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.

Udmaster:
Yorubas here are shedding tears over this thread
@TonyeBarcanista.
The mistake you made was mixing Igbo with Ipobs.
Your stand that you are not an Ipob is Valid, I am an Igbo guy and I am not an Ipob too.
- Dearpreye is ur fellow ijaw man, He is not an Ipob but you will not find him in this whole Igbo vs Ijaw enemity you wanted to grow.. He is a strong voice for a federalism and that is the stand 80% of Igbos want. FEDERALISM.
- An upcoming politician should not be toying through ethnic or tribal line.

Fadekebisola:
Well said at the emboldened

am not igbo but the emboldened is typically correct...u will certainly make more enemies and u wont progress

tell me your state and i will tell u why state autonomy is better than regionalism

mynd1:
Eh dan uwa. Fadamun da hausa.

JahJaa:
TonyeBarcanista your appology is accepted but one thing, the harm have already been done. My respect for you just increased a bit, am a proud igbo boy from Anambra-Oko, you are great guy but try not add sentiments in whatever you r gona do in the future. God bless you, to my Igbo brothers indeed the harm have been done but remember our Lord told us to forgive 70 x 7 times pls try and forget all he did in the past. We all have one flaws or the others.
.
God bless us all

Chiwude:
To forgive is one thing, but to forget is another. Tonye should just stay on his lane and throw his weight in the fight for the emancipation of his own people. Let him keep his support to himself, we've seen enough of this fake brotherhood.
