I bear an ibo name unfortunately, but I'm from Ika "Agbor" in Delta.The person you are trying to correct is more accurate than you in miles.The statement in bold is wrong.I am not ibo and would NEVER EVER EVER like to be regarded as a part of that disgustingly accented and crafty tribe.
yoloba maggot you have started again.
Igbos are chasing your agbero brothers out of lagos and you are here calling yourself a Delta indigene.

Sir/ma, please read the post again and again. You will find out the point the post is making. It is not about the achievement of individuals. The delta man or woman is unique.
...point of correction, a man or woman in delta who speaks ibo and bear igbos name will never accept being called an ibo person. There is a thick difference between the both side of the Niger river. If you are not from that region, please find out. Go to Asaba for instance and see how an Asaba or Ibusa person will address an Igbo man from Onitsha.
chairman I don't know where u got ur idea but I am Deltan Ibo and I am proud of my Ibo identity so is every Delta Ibo man.Delta is a geographical expression and Ibo is my nation bestowed on me by God and nobody can take it away so stop misinforming the public about Ibo Delta people thank u

The Edo tribes are almost intelligible in language and have no direct sea to foreigners/Europeans. So how did you originated pidgin?

Your claims would have been ridiculous if it wasn't so sad and empty undecided
check your history the first europeans(Portuguese) to come to nigeria came to Benin kingdom pigin english was introduced by the british to break down the english language for the Obas and his chiefs to understand dats why its also called broken english but am not disputing the fact that waffarians modified the language after all we were togeda

Proudly Deltan, married Delta, keeping the bloodlines pure cool

For those Ika with Igbo names, please check History: our grandparents answered names corresponding to Bini. But by the mid-60s, when Deltans came to Lagos, they didn't want to be a small group and named their children Igbo names and joined Igbo communities. My 104 year old grandmother and Father mapped our family tree and showed me all the names and explained this to me. So with your kids, find old Ika names like Utomi, Irabor, Isioma, Osadebey, Sombiri, Bienose, Arimolo, Onyiwelehim, Ikubor, Mekihien, Nosareme, Eronime, Erumoh, Nwaka, Ahagbulem, Ehimen, Iziegbe, Eterumeh etc and keep our traditions alive and pure.

I expected you to outline the corruption characteristics of deltans.

1. Ex Governor of Delta state (Uduaghan) Budgeted 7.4Billion Naira for clearing grasses , shrubs , sands and trees around Asaba Airport.

2. Ex Delta Governor James Ibori has a high breaking corruption record. He stole a large amount.

3. Delta is the only state where 9 out of every 10 persons are billionaires yet there is nothing to show for it.


Finally its not about just calling big names. What have they achieved? How have the impacted on the masses.

With the high number of so called millionaires and famous names in the likes of

Francis Atuche ( Nigeria renowned Fraudstar )
Pat Utomi ( who was labelled a fake igbo when he wanted to contest the 2007 election by same igbo who want to call deltans theirs )
Pat. okorocha ( Current governor is a mouth maker )
Prof. Joseph Chike Edozien, CFR, JP, the Asagba
(traditional ruler) of Asaba - the oldest professor in Nigeria alive ( And what did he contribute? )
* Chief. Sonny Iwedike Odogwu, A Great Business Mogul ( Been a business man with no impact of his business on the people of Delta state )
* Dr. Andrew Azukaego Moemeka ( just a space blocker )
* Dr. Cyril Uchenna Gwam, Diplomat, international civil servant and international environmentalist ( environmentalist? Can't stop laughing where was he during the oil spilling and the Ken sawo wiwa case )
* Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the current Managing Director of World Bank ( this one ruined our economy to shambles )

Ndiigbo do not leave the sons and daughters in a faraway land even when the pride price of their mothers has not been finalized. There has never been a time where Ndiigbo insinuated that Ndiigbo anywhere are not Igbo. Instead, people like Sunday Oliseh who are spurred on by deceitful scumbags from the western and northern part of Nigeria will foolishly express their doubts about being Igbo.

Drop your emotions aside, it hampers your comprehension and logic. Firstly, I said most western/Delta Igbos are of the same stock with Onitsha igbos. I didn't say all delta igbos.

You are from Ika? Ika is NOT PART OF EZE CHIMA.

Iselle-uku

Ogwashi-ukwu

Onicha-Olona

Onicha-Ugbo

Onicha-Ukwu
Obior
Onicha-ado/mmiri (Onitsha)

To name but a few are all from EZE Chima. Let me add to your shocker: The Obi of Onitsha comes to Obior/Onicha-Ugbo every other year for traditional rites for all EZE Chimas.

In 2013, the tree of the shrine had a branch cut off and planted in Onitsha to ease the yearly travels and journeys of this rituals.

Study the history of Anioma which Ika is a part of and do not allow sentiments of the igbos to becloud your judgement.

*proud bendel boy
I happened to graduate in Uniben, stayed in hall 3 in first year, ekosodi in second year and BDPA till schooling. Edo speaks their native language as their FIRST LANGUAGE.

The British don't break down English for anyone. You either speak it as they do or you adopt to how you understand it. Both the British and the Portuguese came by sea; Bini has no sea.

Again most tribes in Edo understand each other so they didn't need adopt pidgin English when they had to communicate with one another. Till today , they still speak their languages first before pidgin......and their pidgin is so heavy and less fluent with so many tribal accents making in road into it.


Delta on the other part has over 5 tribes who don't understand each other. Warri alone is indigenous to 3 tribes and it has an outlet to sea which made early Portuguese and British to domicile their.

So today, in Warri, even between people of same tribe, pidgin is the first language and the only language the 3 tribes of Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo can communicate in.

In my opinion, like every other tribe that shares boundary with another tribe, it loses and imbibes some of its neighbour's cultures. It is what happened to Agbor. Like some villages in Abia and Imo states will share names with some aka ibom/ Calabar names, so did Ika share some names with Edo.

But its culture and names are more Igbo than Edo.

I happened to graduate in Uniben, stayed in hall 3 in first year, ekosodi in second year and BDPA till schooling. Edo speaks their native language as their FIRST LANGUAGE.

The British don't break down English for anyone. You either speak it as they do or you adopt to how you understand it. Both the British and the Portuguese came by sea; Bini has no sea.

Again most tribes in Edo understand each other so they didn't need adopt pidgin English when they had to communicate with one another. Till today , they still speak their languages first before pidgin......and their pidgin is so heavy and less fluent with so many tribal accents making in road into it.


Delta on the other part has over 5 tribes who don't understand each other. Warri alone is indigenous to 3 tribes and it has an outlet to sea which made early Portuguese and British to domicile their.

So today, in Warri, even between people of same tribe, pidgin is the first language and the only language the 3 tribes of Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo can communicate in.
what is this one saying? The first european to xplore in nigeria came to benin in 1485. In the 15th to 19th century the benin empire was dominant in nigeria its dominance reached eko later named lagos by the Portuguese itsekiri, ijaw and urhobo were part of d kingdom headed by Oba Eware the Great so I don't understand d sea port you are asking and for ur info Edo has more than five major tribes which include bini,Esan, owan, etsako and igarra and they don't understand each other I know for those that realy know benin will testify dat pidgin is the first and common language dere .am not sure uve crossed uselu its just school - hostel and mayb church

Proudly Deltan, proudly wafarian. I wish to state emphatically that the beauty of Delta state is the ability of us all to demonstrate true love & acceptance irrespective of our ethnic differences. Please my dear brothers this thread is lengthy because we concentrate more on our differences bt if only we can concentrate more on our similarities you will see that Delta state alone is capable of been bigger than Nigeria in so many ramifications.

We must come to the round table and discuss, discover & diffuse a new path for our collective dreams, aspirations & predicament. Delta state is a state you will always love because take it or leave it there is so much drop of greatness in every individual tribe. The cultures & life style you can't find it anywhere in the word, from food to fun, women to men Deltas rocks. Even when there was crises & opposite tribes were killing each other relationships & marriages were still going on. As for me I love my Delta & look forward to the day I will go back home to keep enjoying my solid customize fresh fish bangs soup in clay pot, roasted to Delta state standard with starch n some cool bottles of origin to cool my temper. I beg make una help me ask dem,. Who dem help?
