njays24: you are right but not until after the tribal crisis in late 1990's that chased all the companies away. But we are embracing development now. people don't fight for tribes no more, they fight for politicians now. |

If you know how much I love this competition between Asaba and Warri cities in Delta state..... It makes for development of larger portions of the state. In one state in the southeast, it's like a taboo for state capital people if government tries to site any meaningful development infrastructure in any location outside the state capital; even the towns and zone that give oil producing name to the state remain rural. All five universities and polytrchnics in Imo state are located around the state capital. Any attempt to relocate even one to another area is fiercely resisted by people of the state capItal. There is a formula unique to only Imo state: two cities being develprd in one Owerri town : Old Owerri and New Owerri Capital Cities - they are the only places that have modern development infrastructures in the entire Imo state. Well done Deltans. Love your competitive and balancing spirit. 2 Likes |

tracyorez:Okay now i know you don 't know much about Asaba , just watch some nollywood films and see how many where done in Asaba |
Re: Asaba And Warri: The Two Capitals Of Delta State by tracyorez(f): 6:14pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
jerryunit48:If shooting nollywood movies made it a big city then those thick villages in some states that they shoot most epic movies are also cites just because nollywood movies are involved right?hun!.I am talking about infrastructures and development and I havnt even mention oil wells. Please if you want to argue or convince me,be practical with examples. |

tracyorez: Lagos was used for movies those days and not Ogbomosho, and these movies were not village films, this showed that there was healthy development that was in Lagos and not in Ogbomosho. But these film makers left Lagos for Asaba, why? Because lagos was saturated and congested as Warri is. Unlike Warri, there is no tribal strife in Asaba talk less of actual fighting. Asaba is comfortably close to the 3rd or 4th most economically important city in Nigeria, Onitsha. Asaba was capital for the pre colonial Royal Niger Company. The crime rate in Asaba does not even come close to that in Warri. |

Thank you for the informative piece. I do mostly hear of Asaba in Nigeria films. Something about Manyi Asaba. The woman with the breast that gives riches.Lol. It sounded more like an Igbo town to me. From your write I bet it is save to say Delta State has a sizable Igbo population. You didnot mention Ijaws as group in Delta. Are they not a major tribe in Delta State? 1 Like |

grandlexuz: Anioma has more than 33% of the population in Delta, 9 out of the 25 LGAs, the Aniomas comprising of Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili speak igboid languages, Anioma culture has Bini influence. My Grandma told me that when the current Oba of Benin, Oba Ereduwa was being coronated, the efigie (traditional staff of authority) needed for the ritual was no where to be found, probably looted by colonial robbers. A replica efigie was gotten from Iselle Uku an Anioma kingdom. 2 Likes |

Asaba is technically the first capital of Nigeria. In 1830, the Igbos captured the Lander brothers, british explorers that landed in Asaba. The Royal Niger Company had to move from Asaba to Calabar because of the Ekumeku resistance. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/37610/Asaba http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/11/asaba-as-nigerias-first-capital/ 3 Likes 2 Shares |
