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? )

Proudly Deltan, married Delta, keeping the bloodlines pure

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.

And you're who?

You sound politically and culturally shallow.
Delta is only a political term birthed only recently in 1991. The term does not describe the various indigenous people that make up the state,
who each have their distinctive roots and identity.

For whatever strange reason,, it seems hard for some individuals to swallow the truth that igbos are indigenous to Delta state. Well, unfortunately NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT.

Going political; My darling naija will never breakup. So much brighter days ahead.( whether the pessimists believe it or not)
But in the eventuality of a breakup, just so to speak; my people would be well adviced to move with their eastern kin.

It would be foolish and suicidal staying put when our brothers in the east are gone. With our names and culture identical , we would be brutally marginalized by whatever is left of Nigeria.
Ask my brothers, the Igbankes who were eroneously placed in Edo state by an insensitive military regime what they're suffering in Edo state.



***Modified: I just saw a post of yours identifying yourself as a Yoruba boy.

What in the devil impels you, a complete outsider sticking your nose into what is entirely no business of yours? How dare you? You offshoot of a jealous seed!

Little did you and your lot realize that when you make the Igbos the centre of your problems, you expose yourselves as a miserable, pathetic bunch, itching all over with envy!

Godmother:


Where do I start *sighs*
First of all, we are too much. As in JUST TOO MUCH.
We are known for being exceptionally hardworking, talented, beautiful (hehehe) and we have the best food ever!
If you taste our Ukodo, Banga and starch, Owo soup, you will confess that Jesus is Lord.
Abeg every other tribe are apprentices where we are joor

olokpa11:
so I travelled to calabar to serve and as per normal level, banga hungry me, na I enter one corner to download usi and banga, 1 swallow I don vex delete from the place( pls who cooks banga and adds egusi to it?? Calabar pple take note), I sojourn to Benin, try downlad usi and banga again, 1 swallow I don delete from the place( pls who cooks banga and add tomatoes? Benin pple take note). Then I realized that there is no place like home o, where the banga is tidied in better native pot with better dry and fresh fish and better periwinkle.when I enter waff after one year, I no even dey see anybody wey dey greet me until that food enter my belle before I begin see well( true story of a waka waka warri boy!!)

Jonwesley:
Yes, you wrote a good history and it's commendable. But they are the most selfish Nigerians I have ever come across. A delta man makes money to suffer a neighbour or enslave others. And that is why any Delta man that finds himself in a position is usually corrupt to enrich himself alone becos he feel it's his time to loot. A delta man can build a big mansion inside a street but would not look at the street to tar it or make it motorable for all to benefit. He prefer to suffer with others rather than using his money. He can buy diesel for his generator for a year, a cost that can bring a powerful transformer and connect better power, but he can't because he feels he can't be poor again and others should wait on government. They like to show class and fight of who has had the best in anything creating unhealthy rivalry leading to assassinated killings. They have no regard for neighbourliness and stupefied, puffed up with nepotistic, gingoistic attachments. If you don't begged a deltan for something, he does not know you are existing. I'm totally sincere about this, and that is the reason, despite the roll call the poster has made development is far from attainment. In fact Delta holds the highest wins in the Nigerian sports festival that is staged like the olympics in the country, but look at their best stadium in warri or the abandoned one in Asaba, an eyesore. Unless deltans change from these unholy and unworthy attitude of being called a state that eats up its inhabitants, nothing positive will happen. Deltans we learnt wept at first when they saw the development of FCT and that started militancy in the Niger Delta. But add up all the fat allocations, 13% derivations over the years and you ask what happen? The money by now will be more than what they used in building Abuja. They are just impossible!

lezz:
1472 , first european contact in Nigeria and it was the coasts of the Niger delta and lagos not Benin. Benin was 13 years behind when the coastal regions of which delta state is among have witnessed the first europeans.
Again the Europeans maintained their slave ports in the coastal regions not Benin. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/nigeria/l/bl-Nigeria-Timeline-1.htm

We know the ancient benin empire stretched to the west and even the east of Nigeria but that doesn't make the people of the coastal regions benin. The Europeans came by water not flight or road so they cannot have appeared in benin first. Please see map of Nigeria. Beni and Esan languages are understandable to one another. And again in city of benin , bini is still the first language.
