Niger Delta Is A Region Not A Tribe.. Who are the Main Niger Deltans? by greatiyk4u(m): 6:07am On Sep 13, 2015 |
The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River at the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean in Nigeria. It is a very densely populated region sometimes called the Oil Rivers because it was once a major producer of palmoil. The area was the British Oil Rivers Protectorate from 1885 until 1893, when it was expanded and became the Niger Coast Protectorate. The delta is an oil-rich region, and has been the centre of international controversy over devastating pollution and ecocide, kleptocracy (notably by the Abacha regime), and human rights violations in which Royal Dutch Shell has been implicated. The Niger Delta, as now defined officially by the Nigerian government, extends over about 70,000 km2 (27,000 sq mi) and makes up 7.5% of Nigeria's land mass. Historically and cartographically, it consists of present-day Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers States. In 2000, however, Obasanjo's regime included Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River State, Edo, Imo and Ondo States in the region. Some 31 million people of more than 40 ethnic groups including the Bini, Efik, Esan, Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Yoruba, Isoko, Urhobo, Ukwuani, and Kalabari, are among the inhabitants in the Niger Delta, speaking about 250 different dialects. The Niger Delta, and the "South South Zone", which includes Akwa Ibom State, Bayelsa State, Cross River State, Delta State, Edo State and Rivers State are two different entities. From the above historical explanations it is obvious dat Niger Delta is not a tribe, not even a geopolitical zone bt a selfish political creation of a region for divisive purpose by d born the rule anarchists....my admonition is for all the pple hiding under shadow of Niger Delta to the bold of their various ethnic groups/ tribes or simply accept Biafra as d case may be.... I think its only low self esteem dat will make a mature enlightened person to use statements like I am not an Igbo but a Niger Delta.......lolz....why not be specific? Or are you ashamed of your ethnic origin? The most annoying part is dat every delta state non-igbo speaking indigine will always from "warri boy/girl" as if warri is your true identity.......Edo guys own na him worst pass self.......to dem dey are all Benin boys....shuuuuu benin na your identity? My advice is for you to deny ya origin by allowing your ethnic identity go into extinction by the miasma of Ignorance is the miss d culture of ur identity...wake up from your sleep and be proud of your Bini, Efik, Esan,Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, isoko,Urhobo, Ukwuani, and Kalabari, etc jst as your Igbo, Yoruba ,Idomas,Tiv and other ethnic groups are....irrespective of ur minority.. 17 Likes 1 Share

greatiyk4u: Maybe becos those Yorubas you met are the dull ones. How can they be calling an ijaw man omo ibo? Or an urhobo man Omo ibo? How are they related? The Yorubas can't tell you your identity better than you can tell yourself. If you're Igbo, you're Igbo. If you're not, then you're not. We have other minorities in the ND. Be proud of that ur little tribe. Happy Sunday 7 Likes |

greatiyk4u: No, they are not. Ikwere would have been similar to Igbo but Ogoni is just on its own. Ogoni is of four LGA's as well as Ikwere. So, where the likes of Itshekiri, Kalabari, Anam is mentioned, they should be included. 1 Like 1 Share |

1. Why so much hate for other people? Even when it's not their business (the born to rule anarchists part). 2. According to your submission what's the difference between you that address yourself as Biafran and those that claim Niger Deltans? Is biafra geopolitical zone, tribe or ethnic group? 1 Like |
