ArodeTsolaye:My friend all through my arguments as it concerns this particular issue I have made my positions known without fear or favor to anyone who might have felt hurt by my utterances and I do not regret anything that I have said before because they were a true reflection of how I felt, still feel and would react the same way if the same condition arises again - Do yourself a favor , go through my posts and read them thoroughly and you will see for yourself where I have unequivocally stated my mind without mincing words and last time I checked there was no commission of inquiry that was set up for me to come and defend my utterances about what I personally perceived as an Igbo hidden agenda ,lies,hatred, conspiracy,aggression,insult and a sugar coated love for the people of the Niger Delta but you can convince me and make me change my position even as your actions so far has really unmasked who you are and what you truly have in mind for our people. Read my comments again , they no longer jail people for reading. Thank you 10 Likes 1 Share |

ikechu1278:The people that protested in Port Harcourt were Igbo touts and jobless boys that were brought from the east and mixed with the ones that are already resident in the different part of the state and I know this because it took them almost three working days for them to organize a protest after Kanu's arrest and I can also tell you that this nonsense and insult will not be tolerated anymore. We have coexisted peacefully for centuries and we have always welcomed you with an open arm even as the same gesture can never be extended to us in your homeland,please for the sake of the peaceful coexistence and economic benefits we enjoy from each other, kindly call your youths to order because what they did was totally unacceptable under any circumstances and next time it won't be funny.....at all. 5 Likes |

ikechu1278:I neither disputed nor agreed by the claim that some IPOB youths arrested were indigens of Rivers state. I won't comment on that. My position on this subject is very clear and wouldn't want to drag it. It is not about PDP or APC but about outhe South-South people. If the Igbos want a united SSSE front(which is very good), then we must define terms of agreement. Some of the terms are; 1. They stop calling PHC as 'Igweocha' because the status of Portharcourt as the exclusive property of Rivers people as presently constituted is non-negotiable. 2. Respect for our Greats like Isaac Adaka Boro, Ken Saro Wiwa and every other Niger Deltan Heroes. Also respect for our fathers and stop calling us 'Traitors' because I can't remember any treachery. The respect must also be to our present generation that have been bearing pains to swallow pills they never bargained for. 3. Respect for the decision of South South people as a whole and as individuals on this subject irrespective of their/our/my position. Irrespective of whether they agree with some of your position or not. These to me are very fundamental to real unity. We don't have to fight each other. 7 Likes 1 Share |

ekenedegreat:d guy is too ignorant, that is how greedy an average edo person is, I dont want Biafra but the Biafrans has made it clear that the only part of the Southsouth they want are tge igbo areas who wants to go with them and those of like minds, but the Edo people knowing hw well they hv been rejected in it, even if they like let even kryptonite be in Benin nobody wants them, thats y to show of there frustration they change to the guise of using Niger delta or Southsouth as an umbrella to pour out there frustrations, mark it anywhere Nigeria cannot and will never break, even if it does Ikwerre people that I know would never form a country where the ijaws would be majority after what they did to them in the old rivers state b4 the creation of Bayelsa, the Ikwerres are satisfied with the Rivers state they have they need nothing more, the Ogonis have been agitating for there own country of state, they hv made it clear that if Nigeria breaks they would go on there own MOSOP is a witness to that, the Oron people of Akwa ibom has made there own call to be independent if the country breaks, the only people interested in this Niger delta republic is Edo people, thats why if u watch anybody shouting "IT'S NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC WE WANT OR SOUTHSOUTH REPUBLIC" check well he is from Edo state all the Ijaws want is resource control, no ijaw man wants any Republic whether Biafra or Niger delta. 4 Likes |

Igbos stop looking at this people's face if them f*ck up, treat the fu*ck up.

Truckpusher: Why did I know your reply is going to be filled with more lies. The names of those protested and arrested were released by the government of river state. The name on that list consisted of predominately etche, few ikwerre few SE, two kalabari and two ibibio. Are you now trying to tell us the names released by the river state government is false and you and you alone knows who protested..is that it? Nigg@ move. If you need the list of the names to cure yourself of your ignorance I'll be MORE THAN happy to oblige. Now I'll repeat my question.... Who are you to tell etche and co not to protest in their land because you disagree with their ideology. Whether you like it or not, there are Igbo indigenous group in River state and they have every right to practice wtf they want in their hometown. Just cause your opinion differs from them does not mean you have the right to lord yourself over them and decide to be their spokesperson. I'll repeat my question yet again: are you trying to imply the indigenous Igbo from river state shouldn't protest in their own town anymore nor speak up because you don't agree with their ideology? 4 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista: 1. Igweocha itself is the historical name all Igbo had for current day PH before European gave it the term PH. Even the current members of ohaneze from ikwerre such as obi wali, Issac wonwu, etc equally refers to PHC as igweocha. Nothing is stopping una from calling ph whatever names your ancestors called it prior to European invasion is there? Last I checked, are Igbo pointing gun in una head to follow us refer PH as igweocha? Are we? 2. I'm from SS, asaba precisely, and I don't see nor do I consider Ken Saro wiwa nor Issac Adaka boro as ND hero's. My hero is Chief Dennis Osadebay. Just because osadebay is a hero in anioma does that now translate him as ND hero? No. likewise the two mentioned. Ken wiwa and Issac boro are hero's to their own tribe and I highly highly doubt you expect any Igbo to show respect to two people who assisted in killing our people? It is like asking Igbo's to respect awolowo. The same way una have no respect for ojukwu despite he is a loved man in the Igbo community and we have no problem nor drilling down in ppls head to respect him is the same way you shouldn't drill down on igbo to respect those we believed hurt us. Simple!!! For the second part of your post, I really cannot speak on that part because in some occasion, SE have accused anioma of treachery before so I won't try to speak nor defend it. 3. I agree with you on that aspect. Likewise you should follow your owm advice. The same way I cannot speak for you or anyone else for that matter is likewise the same way you cannot speak for me, etche, etc. The reason SE people go on attack is first una attack them first. Secondly, twisting facts to present itself as they are channeling or forcing community to protest. Like for example: asking the protesters to protest in abuja when based on the names released from the arrest majority of the protesters in pH were etche and last I checked etche community is in river state. You have no right to tell them to leave the land of their ancestors to go protest somewhere just because you disagree with their own opinions. The same way they respect you enough not to force you to join them is the same way you should extend that same respect to them.. The reason I say this is because I was here and read individuals telling the asaba women that protested to leave asaba and go protest in anambra despite itself asaba is our ancestors land. Respect is reciprocally... Don't swing if una don't want igbo swinging cause we'll swing back. 8 Likes |

Biafra now will be structured to include Igbo speaking people of Nigeria. From Edo igbo, delta Igbo,Rivers Igbo to eastern igbos. If Ijaw come with us it will be for numerical strength afterwards they form their separate ijaw country just like Serbia and Montenegro but later Serbia one country and Montenegro another.We can live side by side as two countries with good relations.This way its a win-win. In carving out these countries we won't talk about states created by the Nigerian govt but areas where the ethnic groups reside. E.g the Igbo speaking part of river state will go with Biafra while the ijaw speaking part will go with ijaw nation. I am delta Igbo btw Truckpusher: 1 Like |

ikechu1278: ikechu1278, kudos to you for the requisite response to that uncivil, pugnacious resply. What I have discovered on this NL is that a number of Igbos have given our Eastern brothers too much regard in the name of brotherhood and yet the insults keep coming. I've only found just a few of them that care to reciprocate Igbo's gesture. Some others would rather stand aloof and wait for opportunities to throw punches at Igbos. When a supposed fellow claiming to be from the Eastern flank messes around and accuses Igbos of attempting to use Biafra as a guise for land grabbing or wanting to steal their crude oil and at the end of the day we may not find one of his taking the bold step of cautioning or denying the individual outrightly like you see the Igbos do on many occasions. If you check my posts so far you'll discover that what I do most times is counter insults, lies and propagandas targeted at Easterners and Anioma folks. And often times many of my posts are responses to the attacks from the SW, North, Edo, Itsekiri and Urhobo. This is the gang that would rather have everyone remain in this cesspit with them since they have only survived and flourished at the expense of others by virtue of the injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement therein. As we march forward with our quest it's time to close ranks more than ever before and maintain our resolute stand - one for all, all for one. But we should not be seen cajoling anybody or group to buy into our quest for nationhood. It should be the other way round. Continue to be your brother's keeper but not at the expense of our dignity. 2 Likes |

ikechu1278: It is disrespectful and insult to tag our land what you wish to tag it and not what we want you to tag it. It is our land and the only thing for you to do is to respect it. It doesn't matter whether it was given us by the Brits or congolese, what matters is what we(as owners) view it. We view it as PortHarcourt and Not Igweocha or whatever. The least you can do is to respect our position. We can't accept such open show of disrespect Sir! It is Our land, PHC belongs to us and it is exclusively in our place to determine the name of the city. 2. I'm from SS, asaba precisely, and I don't see nor do I consider Ken Saro wiwa nor Issac Adaka boro as ND hero's. My hero is Chief Dennis Osadebay.

Simple!!! For the second part of your post, I really cannot speak on that part because in some occasion, SE have accused anioma of treachery before so I won't try to speak nor defend it. It is a straightforward case! I maintained that Respect for SS as a group and as individuals. If you an Anioma man believe in casting aspersion on ND Greats like Boro and Wiwa is your choice. In fact, it has even put a fence and has knocked out ANY proposed country between us(Ijaws specifically) if the mainstream Igbos hold on to this belief. As long as Ijaws, Ogonis, Ikwerres, Binis, Urhobos etc are concerned, Isaac Boro and Wiwa are part of the heroes of Niger-Delta. I wish Abacha had granted the proposed Warri state. As for the treachery aspect, you(Anioma) may accept it but my people and others from the region are saying that they don't accept it. It is unacceptable for anyone to insult our forebearers and present generation unjustly. If this is held by mainstream Igbos, then I have to restate that the proposed united country won't work. Maybe an Igbo only and/or those that agrees with this position. But it is a No-No for the Ijaws especially 3. I agree with you on that aspect. Likewise you should follow your owm advice.

ikechu1278:I agree with the points you've raised, the same goes for Truckpusher, TonyeBarcanista and other like minds. The Biafran issue is a sensitive one. One could even see the level supposed friends have toed as regards protecting their people and interest. For me, I have stated it categorically that I'm in for a Confederate Nigeria with autonomous regions drawn along ethnic lines. However, if division becomes inevitable I'll love to see an Igbo only country carved out of Nigeria with all our kiths and kins included ( from the fringes of Igbanke to Igbo-Benue and down to borders of Ijawland in Rivers) all terms of existence will be drawn were necessary. Reasons best known to me. A UN/AU supervised referendum shall be conducted in Ikwerreland, Ekpeye, Ika, Ukwuani and others areas with pockets of dissenting voices. We shall accept any group that joins us while the rest are left to their fate in Nigeria or a future Niger-Delta republic as the case may be. But one thing is sure, we are not going to force any group to join, inasmuch as we won't tolerate anybody or group that may forcefully or through crook try to claim any inch of the Igboid lands without a referendum. Yet, if Biafra be the case with the inclusion of the minorites then let there be terms of agreement as Barcanista rightly stated. 1) Each region shall be semi-autonomous and semi-independent. 2) Each region shall control its resources and give to the centre what accrues to it. 3) Each region shall be compose of mutually intelligeable ethnic lines or willing groups out to form its own region. 4) Each region shall speak its native language with English as the lingual franca. 5) There shall be exist 3 capitals in the new country. The Administrative shall be located in the Uyo section. The Legislative Enugu, while the Judiciary in Bayelsa. 3 Likes 1 Share |
