Abagworo:


Odogwu and Ozomo are Igbo names. Why not ask yourself why you speak Igbo despite being proximal to Bini. It can only happen either through colonisation or overwhelming influx of Igbos which I doubt. Delta Igbo bears characteristics of Igbo with Bini influence and not Bini with Igbo influence.

he's not ika nor Bini but a full fledged Ofei' man.look at the vitriol he's pouring out here..I wonder what he'd do when I do a comprehensive list of Igbo dialects by LGs by week's end

DiademSh07:

DelticstephEn is no Owa! She is an impostor!
How can she not know Owa greetings which is 'Owa adagba ni Ikoha' which means Owa, whose ancestors came from Ikoha. They greets this way because their founder, Adagba, a bini man came from Ikoha in Ovia in Benin!

And don't be decieved, the Aniocha/Oshimili are ibos!

Leave Igbo matter alone. Don't know what you are gaining from this paid job of division you are planting among brothers. But let me tell you this. In due time, you will know what we are capable of doing, when this madness of you and your likes get out of hand. Then, we shall know if Anioma is Bini or Igbo.

DiademSh07:

Hello, Ondo state is part of Niger delta and the oil it produces is 50 times the oil the whole of your red mud SE produces!
So, watch it!

At least is in only in ijaw land in ondo that you can find oil...
Besides saying the oil is greater than the oil that can be found in South East..

One question for you?? How do you pass mathematics in your waec??

lygn19:
all oil producing states don't receive d same amount of money from d 13% derivation. D amount of money Akwa ibom receives from d FG as allocation is like over 10 times dat of Abia...

Summary:
1. The Niger-Deltans in the "Real Sense" are people in the present day Rivers and Bayelsa states (old Rivers province), and Warri in the present day Delta state (old Warri/Delta province).

2. The “official” Niger Delta is an expression for the oil producing states of Ondo, Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Cross River, Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa states. It is not exclusive to South South.

3. "South South" consist of 4 old Eastern states (Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross river and Akwa Ibom) and the old Midwest (Edo and Delta).

4. No single ethnic group can speak for "South South", as historical interests differs. For instance,
I) In Delta state, the Itsekiris are majorly pro-Yorubas. They majorly voted against Midwest region(preferring to be with the Yoruba Western region), and opposed the creation of Warri state. The Akoko-edos in Edo state are also pro-Yoruba and also opposed the creation of Midwest region.

III) The Binis, Esans, Ijaws, Igbos etc of Edo and Delta states have always lived harmonously since the fall of Benin Kingdom in 1897, formed alliances and supported each others interests. In fact, it was an Igboman(Anioma) Denis Osadebe that proposed Benin city to be the capital of MidWest/Bendel in 1963.

5. There is ethnic Igbo population in Delta (ANIOMA) and Rivers states. There is Ijaw ethnic population in Edo(Toru-Ibe Ijaws), Akwa Ibom (Eastern Andonis/Ibolo) and Ondo (Arogbo Ijaws) in addition to those in Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa states.

6. While the term "Niger Deltans" refers to people from Rivers, Bayelsa and Warri, the term "South Southners" refers to people that falls into the six states within the South South.


I hope we find this piece educating and Informative.

Besides saying the oil is greater than the oil that can be found in South East..

One question for you?? How do you pass mathematics in your waec??

Another lie.

1. Arogbo Ijaws are migrant to our soil and they are mere fishermen.

2. The oil part of Ondo is ilaje in Igbokoda and Ilajes are oduduwa descedants.

Don't get it twisted.

If you are pained that the Oil Ondo state produces surpasses the whole of what alaigbo is producing --- a verifiable fact, deal with it or jump into the lagoon.

Gr8amechi:
see you don't get it, let's first know what we are fighting for, so what's your point ?? why didn't GEJ do the bidding of the ND?? the youths have been taken too much for granted, you and I waste our time and mb discussing and fighting over nothing my point is let the struggle be genuine, not CHOP I CHOp that it is now.....let the govt stop dropping money or giving chief or state govt money let them give basic amenities to those that need it, sorry to say but even you that is shouting I don't think you live in those ND village if you do you would know what am saying, try pay visit to some of thshe thick ijaw village and most other ND community, there is no potable drinking water, no good school, no good health care, please be realistic the FG alone or resource control is not our problem but RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

President GEJ could not have gotten Resource Control for oil bearing areas.

Nigeria's so fraudulently structured with subsequent lopsided political representation, such that any bill for Resource Control or Fiscal Federalism cannot pass through reading stage in the National Assembly, and may be thrown out of the Asembly windows.

Only solution for oil bearing areas to get what they want from Nigeria is by forming a large political block for negotiations.

Negotiation for either political concessions to mineral- producing areas, or referendum for peoples in SS and SE for secession from Nigeria.

That's where one buys the Lower Niger Congress initiative to group the SS and SE to pursue common goals.

But if people steering the Lower Niger Congress initiative eventually get bribed or blackmailed to give up, the SS and SE remains divided and continue to be screwed up by rest of Nigeria.

My g.s project was ob dialectal variation of the ika language, I am from agbor, thus an ika. i had to go home and do some research, that was what exposed me. This is a factual thing not as i wish. Check the culture of most anioma tribes, check their festivals.. you will understand better my points. The problem is many persons are so lost that they do not know anything abt their land, if you are an ika ask a palace chief about our history.. you will be in awe! The evidence is all over, even the deities in most anioma places are foreign to igbos but yet similar to the binis. am typing from a phone, when i get to my p.c i would explain better. Well why do i bother, u can chose to call yourself anything but an agbor person is ika not delta igbo.

gentleman, please do your research well and know dat not all anioma people have dier origin from Bini. some have diers from NRI in Anambra state.

Which land was your fore father's land? Was it empty when you came there?

now look at what you just said...if GEJ had at least raised the issue as a bill to the NASS then one would have said he was serious but he never did telling he enjoyed the way the nation was, the bokoharam was enough reason for him to raise a bill for regionalism them go into adequate lobby...now with the issue of seceding I would welcome any ideal but not seceding with the SE if you are a true SS son neither would you want to secede with those SE guys bet me if we SS make the mistake to secede with them after few years we will start crying of another form of marginalization, sorry to say the igbos across Niger are not really what they appear to be....why didn't they support us when we first brought up issue of seceding?? I don't trust Ojukwu, I don't trust that name Biafra

u re an Ikwerre man from what I see, i.e by ur name; I hope u re aware dat Ataka boros seccession plan as at that time didn't involve u, and if it had succeeded u wud still be a Nigerian, me personally know dat dx country can't break now, and will bit break. U are saying y didn't the igbos support u when u wanted to secede, was d choice of secession sth dat was being held back by an igbo man, and only an igbo man cud do it?...
So what u are trying to say is dat since Nnamdi Azikiwe was against the seccession clause as at that time, and was against Biafra that Nnamdi Azikiwe hates igbos?...

DiademSh07... I just went tru this guys post history and found out dat he is a Yoruba man from the southwest... so u guys shudnt be surprises at his actions, coz he is doing wat his people know how to do best...

There is no such thing as delta igbo. Get ur facts right

The people you call delta igbo do not share any ancestry with igbos, rather most have theirs from the binis.

OMFG. Can you people for Godsake stop speaking for us. Can you PLEASE do that favor for us. Did we ask you to become our spokesperson? If so, when?

You didn't know that. The coward desperately DESPERATELY wish to be SS. The guy has some weird obsession for Ika and Ukwuani. And I've mopped him through the floor everytime he tried to speak. The dude is as dumb as a rock..true story. Read his entire post, you'll see everything I say. I swear even rocks are smarter than that nigg@

Ask all dz ppl southsouth ppl wat they hate abt the igbos they can tell u one single thing igbos do to them, but they wud go back to history and use what Igbos did 100years ago to judge them now, if igbos were proud in the past, arrogant, domineering etc, any wise person wud discover that since after d civil war d igbo's have changed. Einsteino and d rest delta-bini people with igbo names and igbo languages... y dont u ppl stop bearing igbo names and start answering Bini names so dat tomorrow if u ppl do sth bad we wud know where to start from, maybe if Chukwuma Nzeogwu was answering a Bini name and was saying it openly that he is not igbo but Bini, it cud have changed d course of history. Even after d Biafran mid-west invasion and when the Nigerian soldiers counter attacked the people of d Midwest started singling out the igbos around them to be killed by the Nigerian army , do u think that ur ppl/kins dat were anywhere around doz areas dat beaded igbo names and spoke d Igbo language was seen and said stop he is not igbo but he is Bini... Einsteino even u dats arguing tooth and nail here even if u like use razor blade and tear ur entire face, as far they know ur name is Ifeanyi Okowa or anything do u think they wud spare u. I know u ppl have everyright to say u re not Igbos so dat tomorrow if anybody from d East declares another Biafra and Nigeria declares another war on them the Asaba massacre wont repeat itself because they thought u ppl are igbos. But lemme tell u, for any body from d East to do such a thing again in dz Nigeria is like for a camel to pass tru d eye of a needle. U are claiming Bini ryt now, I can assure u dat no matter how u try d rest if delta still sees u as Igbo, if u doubt me commit a criminal first and watch d first thing they wud tell u.
If someone can open a thread on Nairaland and say Nyesom Wike's ambition to be governor is an example of the igbo greed in him(all if a sudden the ikwerre turned igbo)... then imagine wat will be if u wen d time to test who ur trying time comes.

You still have a long way.... Do research bro! There's nothing like "Delta-Igbo."
The word "Delta" is a mere geographical expression.. Igbo is Igbo... Ika is a dialect, and not a language....
There are more than 70 Igbo dialects.... Many communities in Enugu, Imo state e.t.c do not understand their different dialects at all, but the "Central-Igbo" binds them all.....
A Nsukka man can never Understand a single bit of the dialect spoken by an Owerri, Ohafia, Abakaliki man, unless they speaks in "CENTRAL-IGBO.."

Funny enough, this is a statement from a past Dein of Agbor

Here tradition tells us that Ogele or Ogene was the patriarch of our ancestors; but whence he came from we do not know for certain. Even the Benin, who claim him as their own, confess to the mystry of his exact association with them. Better to know the man from his deeds among us, as I have recounted. We believe that early Agbors have some cultural affinity with the East Niger—Igbo people, and that the Edo people as neighbors of Agbor

Language: Agbor spoke the ika dialect akin to other Igbo tongues, but the special vehile of the ika culture end image. It is distinct and dissimilar from Edo language and vice versa, even though some say that Agbor was once under the Oba’s rule. This was so because Benin was the first to acquire firearms from the Portuguese, and with which they terrorized the neighboring states. But this state of affairs lasted for only a short: Agbor liberated themselves before the 18th century. “Oru asuw Igbo; Igbo asuw Ika”: From this saying Agbor appears to be the credits of the Ika dialect and the citadel of Igbo heroes.

Then, what's your point?

Vivly:

Totally. Have you been to Abia? Compare both states and see which should stay within Niger delta radar.

Just in case U dont know, the Niger River has many deltas in Abia state. Do some geography and research. Abia state also shares common boundaries with Rivers and AkwaIbom states. States like Crossriver and AkwaIbom are further off the geographical entity called Niger Delta than Abia and Imo state. Geographically and politically, Abia state belongs to the Niger-Delta.

It's so sad that alot of you people from the Southwest aren't travelled and have refused to read, research and study.

@einsteino, Not all Anioma came from Bini! Only the Ukwuani and the Ikas has ancestry with the Bini. As a matter of fact, Ika which is Eka was shortened from Ekadolor which is a Bini language.
The Enuanis, the aniocha/Oshimili to be precise has their ancestry with the ibos! Even the igbodo part of Ikas has been desecrated with the nomadic ibos!
So, don't be suprised when some are claiming ibo!
Its a matter of time, the shaft will be separated from the wicks!
I wonder what ibos are doing in the midwestern/old western region! Does it resemble the eastern region?
