Anti-igbo Tag: Curing The Ignorance Of Some Biafran Agitators by TonyeBarcanista(m): 7:53pm On Nov 10, 2015 |
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. May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria 44 Likes 5 Shares |

I also believe that some day our own people shall get (not given) our resource control demand. Really? When? Probably in the year 2120. Your constant cries about how Niger Deltans and South Southerners want resource control and what not totally reeks of naivety. Sometimes I doubt if you are even familiar with the "south south" you claim to represent and speak for. You want resource control, oya dey fight for am na. Nigeria has about 20 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. 2 million barrels or more are drilled and sold daily, thats about 800 million barrels a year. In about 10 years the reserves are almost depleted. Add the negative costs of environmental degradation coupled with the depleting value of crude oil in the global stage. By the time you are done fighting for resource control, your oil is worthless. 58 Likes 7 Shares |

I challenged Nwannekaenyi, aka “Nnamdi.” “Why do you support Jonathan and Ihejrika with their hopelessness and pogrom?” I asked him. “Should Ihejirika not sack Jonathan for us? Why do you support Jonathan?,” I pressed on Radio Biafra, under the fake name “Smart Alec.” Nwannekaenyi Okwu-Kanu defended the PDP president as his person. It was clear Kanu was an arm or sponsored by Jonathan. Nwannekaenyi said Jonathan was the only president that set up a sovereign national conference. I called his BS. Several identical conferences had been set up in the past and there was nothing sovereign about this conference where certain references had been banned, I told him. I am happy I recorded this debate and evidence of what Nwannekaenyi Okwu-Kanu truly is/was [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbNCBllNiWM]. He was Jonathanian through and through. The Jonathanian comes before the Radio Biafran, apparently. As Jonathan Loses, Radio Biafra Becomes Agitator It was only when the permutations were poor and it was glaring that Jonathan would loose as Nwannekaenyi started mentioning on his broadcasts that “Biafra or death” started coming up. Biafra or death is the Jonathanians’ plan B. And while these masters, Jonathan, Ihejirika, Nwannekaenyi Okwu-Kanu and the like have tremendous material gain of these various schemes, it is the gullible youth followers that one must pity as they mumuishly follow the chicken and the egg and rubbish perhaps worthwhile and widespread legitimate causes for true federalism, independence and self determination 34 Likes 3 Shares |

As an ijaw man , OP I will advice you to focus more on writing about Ijaw tribes , leave the Igbo matters for the Igbos. Just like the Igbos, the Ijaws have their own crucial matters to deal with, so I suggest you channel you energy and unsolicited advice to your tribe. 58 Likes 1 Share |

As a Yoruba man, I think Igbo people should continue fighting for their constitutional right until the fraudulent costitution is favourably amended for them.how could the post of presidency only be available to only westerners and northerner leaving easterners out ? I think its an uncivilised and undemocratic act They call me GENIUS 3 Likes |
