It shall be well with you sir!

God in heaven knows that I'm against injustice towards anyone. If any group in the SS say they are Igbos, who am I to tell them otherwise? If they say they are not Igbo I still don't meddle in their affairs. I've not done that. The only thing is that I won't agree when someone says a group within Ijaw territory is Igbo or Igbo-owned. Just as I always tell my Itsekiri brothers that Okerenkoko is Ijaw-owned. This doesn't mean I have hatred for them.

However, I admit that we haven't been tactical and matured in addressing these issues among ourselves(on this forum). Admittedly, we've made irrational comments in the process of arguing for ourselves, but that again isn't unexpected in human relationship.

Like I said, the path to reconciliation isn't shut!!!

IkpuMmadu:
Can you pls shut up!!!
We know you and your antics

TonyeBarcanista:
Once again, I have never called the Igbo race "landgrabbers". I have always believed in geographical boundaries. I have been enjoying cordial relationship with the Igbo folks until some /most IPOB apologists and I clashed over issues.

I have never shut the door of reconciliation with the Igbos, both in my personal capacity and as an Ijawman.

Truth is, unity with the Igbo nation is in the best interest of everyone but it must not be at anybody's expense. God knows that I will support the Igboman to be on the PDP ticket in 2019 and also as frontrunner when the PDP ticket returns to the South.

BTW: The unity also extend to our brothers from West, North and Central.

Am ibo.but i dnt gv a Bleep....let d nigerian army beat dem up..killl them if possible..any1 who is against d peace and unity of nigeria shud b treated like a goat..tenx

TonyeBarcanista:
Firstly, I have never denied the ancient neighbourhood relationship the Ijaws and the Igbos share. However, it is not just the Igbos but also to other Ijaw neighbours like Itsekiri, Urhobos, Ibibios, Ogonis etc. It would be out of place to deny this. In fact, history have it that we(Ijaw-Igbos) have traded together for years...

The so-called Bia-Fula being a prelude to a Biafran State is a product of Asari own creation and conspiracy theory by Mr Asari. There is no record anywhere to support this.

Thirdly, when we talk of "Igbo-sounding name", the question is "What is Igbo-sounding name"? Is Igbo a sound? I bear Solomon, an Hebrew name, does that make me relate the the jews? The fact is that when the whites came, they corrupted most of our names to suit their tongue, Perekule was changed to Pepple, even my Kingdom, Okrika was changed from Wakrike. I don't know the point he's trying to make anyway.

Fourthly, there has NEVER been an independent Biafran State. NEVER! While 0.0000001% Ojukwu's friends and associates of Ijaw extraction with majority Igbo decide on a Biafra in 1967 when the whole people of old Rivers state, including the Ijaws were celebrating their statehood(state). Contrary to what Asari is trying to feed on, Isaac Boro, the symbol of Ijaw struggle agitated for exclusive Ijaw state in 1966(Niger Delta Republic) and also made case for old Rivers state creation. Truth is we can't just jump into any new country with any group without having laid down agreement on fundamentals of the country. We don't want another "Nigeria" issue.

Another reason why Biafra isn't our thing is that we won't agree to any country that will balkanise our kinsmen because the Nigeria State does so. Any new State that Ijaws will be part of must capture ALL Ijaw territories up to those in Ondo state in SW, Nigeria.

Finally, for the umpteenth time, I am NOT against Biafra nor sharing State with Igbos or any group, but it will be suicidal to agree to an arrangement without ironing grey areas and reaching mutual agreement.


Thanks!!!

Wizprodigy
I and my tribe are the crying babies of nigeria for crying to be released from the bondage of nigeria for our own nation of biafra.

glacswhite:
Problems Biafra will have is where to locate the capital...
Akwa Ibom said ''we must have the capital if we must join as not to have us as minority anymore''
Enugu said ''their is no need to argue because is our birth Right''
Anambra said ''gave Birth to Biafra''
Rivers said..we can only join if am the capital
Ijaw said ''we've no problem with Capital but To balance the situation we ought to control all our resources 100%''


In case of our Leaders Hmmm we dnt need corrupt ones....

BermudaTriangle:
Who are the crying babies of Nigeria ?

M4gunners:

Story for the gods. Read all your post on this thread again carefully cos you were trying to hide your hatred but you exposed it easily. Shameless hypocrites like you are many on this forum, got no time for nonsense abeg.

Affter1:
You should pity your own life cos you are not making any sense, I have seen all your post and how you insult the Yorubas that dont even care if you exist. So you ignore your brothers calling Yoruba- Yoloba, yellowbar e.t.c but crying like a battered child for yeebhoe. Be bold and stop hiding under I am not Igbo to throw your insult.

Affter1:
No one ask if you are yeebhoe or not, throw your insult and stop the pretense.

ichukwu48:
Noone ever invites them to anything. It's anyways the other way around.

To be honest, I don't blame them not inviting SW. After all,despite SW claims all over the media of having better GDP, etc than SS and SE yet they had to be bailed out, few of their states can barely pay their employee's salary, one of theor state actually had refugee supplies send to them despite no war among other shit. Albeit the meeting happened before all the above occurred but still, I'm grateful they were not invited. While other actually work, they believe fabricating figures all over the media is growth. After all osun supposedly had the highest igr and GDP in the entire south. Therefore. In my own opinion, they wouldn't have had much input except how to fabricating figures all over the media

X21:
you just stated the obvious

ichukwu48:
Ironic isn't it?
What had me weak is when they were equally left out in a south unity meeting. Yet they claim everyone loves them, they are the envy of south and more political sophisticated. I would have thought the self claimed " political sophisticated" ones would have been invited in a political unity discussion. Ironic.

fulanimafia:
The Yorubas have consistently and remarkably proven their faith in Nigeria, even while they were sidelined under the ineffectual Jonathan, therefore it is only the cry babies that scream secession because they played themselves out of political relevance, that need to be coerced into reaffirming their faith in our national unity.

The Yoruba were left out of nothing, they are already sterling beacons of our national unity.

Reminez:
**** smh

solid3:
And where are the Biafran e-warriors? Their parents have gone to beg the Hausa's on behalf of their children who don't know what they are doing. Eeeeyah.

Is the Op lying?? Even without a source for the post, everybody knows LGAs is one of the ATM machines of APC governors.
Rochas quickly comes to mind.

johnmartus:
imagine kidnap the first citizen of yoruba? i promise you the whole of south east will burn to ashes

OgbeifunErom:


Igbo contribution to IGR in SW is less than 4%

Obi should vacate his throne and let Kabiyesi sit comfortably and he should kneel down and let Ooni stretch his legs on his back

The impact of his Oodua land on obi's children is immeasurable

A Yoruba day should be declared to thank that race

OgbeifunErom:


Nonsense

Obi suppose prostrate flat and thank the head of the tribe that provide shelter and opportunities for his people

The ooni should be worshipped over there

OgbeifunErom:
Ooni sef resemble graduant

And why is the Obi not prostrating to his superior?

These people don't have respect
