About Asaba

The City of Asaba, the capital of oil rich Delta State of Nigeria is strategically located on a hill at the western edge of the majestic River Niger. The historic River Niger is a trans-African link beginning from East Africa and down into the Atlantic Ocean. Asaba forms a connector between western, eastern and northern Nigeria through the River Niger from the north and via the Asaba Niger Bridge, an east west link and a Nigeria landmark. Asaba lies approximately 6 degrees north of the equator and about the same distance east of the meridian; about 100 miles north of where the River Niger flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The greater Asaba occupies an area of about 300 square kilometers. It maintains an average tropical temperature of 90 degrees during the dry season and an average fertile rainfall of 6 inches during the rainy season. Ibo is the native language in Asaba and neighboring towns.

Since becoming the Delta State capital, Asaba has grown in population to over half a million very hospitable people and now maintains a cosmopolitan population of predominantly non-indigenous People.

History

Asaba is believed to have derived its origin from a conglomeration of mostly three different ancestral lineages:

Ugboma is considered to be the first settler in what later became Ahaba and subsequently Asaba.

Ezeanyanwu, another settler was said to have hailed from the royal line Of Ezechima, the legendary ancestor of numerous settlements east of the Niger and environ.

However, the history of modern Asaba is always traced back to its most famous citizen, Nnebisi. Nnebisi, the son of Diaba, an early settler. Nnebisi in Ibo language means: mother is supreme.Nnebisi’s mother was from the village of Agbakuba in Nteje in the broad Anambra Region, east of the River Niger and beyond.

Shortly after his birth, Nnebisi’s mother took him back to Nteje. As young Nnebisi was growing up among his mother’s family he started noticing that he was being treated differently from everybody else around him. He also noticed that there were certain things he was not allowed to do. When he inquired why; he was told that it was because Nteje was not his true home town. So he immediately decided to embark on a journey to find out his true home. Nnebisi embarked on this legendary search for the lost ‘Father Land’ on a narrow long boat and an herbal medicine pot – a charm given to him by a village medicine man in Nteje. This medicine was supposed to guard him and guarantee his safe arrival to his purported homeland. Nnebisi was supposed to carry this pot on his head and this magical pot was supposed to fall off Nnebisi’s Head at the site of his ancestral homeland.

The pot fell and crashed at the present day Cable point off the shores of the River Niger by the great Onishe rocks – a shrine of the mythical goddess – the Onishe of Ahaba. Ahaba was an exclamation and an Ibo phrase ‘Ahabam!’In Igbo language, it means ‘ I have appropriately chosen’. This is where Ahaba got its name. The name Was later changed to Asaba during the British colonial occupation of Nigeria. Nnebisi Married two wives and his household flourished to absorb the household of the other earlier settlers. He had three

Children with his first wife, Ujom: Onne (male) Ezeumune (male) and Ojife (female). His second wife also had a son called Iyagba. Iyagba’s offspring’s were part of the lost seed.

Eze anyanwu, Ugboma, Odikpe and Obodo Achala were all part of the original settlers In Ahaba. The others are the 5 grandsons Of Nnebisi – Ezenei, Ugbomanta, Agu, Ajaji and Onaje in that order.

All created the Original 9 quarters in Ahaba – “Ahaba ebo ite’nani “The Five grandsons of Nnebisi will later grow to absorb most of the earlier settlers and therefore make up the present Five quarters In Asaba.

An open mind is a virtue!

Rayhut:
HYPOCRISY is when YORUBA people claim some part of Kwara, Kogi, Lagos as Yoruba land when Igbos claim the Igbo speaking areas of some part of Delta, Rivers and Edo as part of Igbo land, YORUBA'S will start shouting land grabbing, oil thief, is this not hypocrisy at highest level, if Igbo go with only 5 Igbo state and leave the rest of the Igbo land, then Yoruba should leave Lagos, Kwara, Kogi and parts of Ondo ilaje axis alone.

It's a pity History is no longer taught. But then, read deep on past works of History scholars.

Lagos has always been a Yorubaland till encroachment of its waterside from Bini empire.

Kwara State is Yorubaland. It only has 2 LGs that are not predominantly Yorubaland. But for geo-political balance, Kwara state would have been in SW.

People of Kogi West are Yorubas are they are those referred to as Okun Yorubas. They have everything in common with Ekiti and that's why during the last National Conference leaders of Okun prayed the Conference to ensure they are re-united with the mainstream Yorubaland and taken away from people they share no origin with.

Advice: When you are with a Kwaran or Okun man, don't try to tell them they are not Yoruba. A word they say is enough for a wise...

kingzizzy:



The funny thing is the Yorubas, most of who have never crossed the river Niger. They will look at a map of their artificially created Nigeria and its artificially created States and then tell anyone they become experts on Igbo geography. Then they will create Monikas and come online to say that Igbos are only in 5 states lol

hypocrisy nd yellowbar people are like Siamese twins (Ibeji)

so u prefer Asaba to be a yorubaland?

If u feel am lying ,why not give us fact to show that Asaba is not an igboland ?

d people of asaba consist of igbo, yoruba and hausa as minority, did u see any other minority claiming asaba, if not only d greedy igbos, or don't u know ur boundaries again

Jesusloveyou:
d people of asaba consist of igbo, yoruba and hausa as minority, did u see any other minority claiming asaba, if not only d greedy igbos, or don't u know ur boundaries again

There are zero yoloba or hausa that are indigienous of Asaba. Don't you yoloba fools ever stop running your worthless mouth in sh1t Una don't know. Do you think Asaba is like your savage Southwest. Don't you ever in a billion years EVER associate my city to you devils. Never ever in your miserable life

Euro31:
Benjamin Adekunle speech during the war...

Adekunle was a key champion of the food blockade to Biafra. In a wartime interview he had with Randolph Baumann of Stern Magazine in Igweocha (published on August 18, 1968), he stated:[3]

ADEKUNLE: In the section of the front that I rule—and that is the whole south front from Lagos to the border of Kamerun—I do not want to see the Red Cross, Caritas Aid, World Church delegation, Pope, Missionary, or UN delegation.

STERN: Does that mean that the many thousands of tons of food that are stored in Lagos will never get to the refugee camps in your section of the country?

ADEKUNLE: That’s exactly what I am saying.

STERN: But you said yourself that most of the refugees in the part you captured are not Ibos.

ADEKUNLE: I don't care if they are ibos or not. I want to block all foreign aids from a getting to that part of the country as long as this whole people have not given up yet.

STERN: Do you sometimes feel sympathy for the Ibo children?

ADEKUNLE: I have learned a word from the British, which is “sorry”! That’s how I want to respond to your question. I want to win this war for the sake of Nigeria crude oil. Therefore I have to kill the enemies to win this war. Sorry! The End.

Only moronic fool does not know that Nigeria precipitated war of attrition against Biafra on the urging of British mainly because of crude oil.

Jesusloveyou:
d people of asaba consist of igbo, yoruba and hausa as minority, did u see any other minority claiming asaba, if not only d greedy igbos, or don't u know ur boundaries again

Yoruba ke ? In our Asaba?

according to op, that asaba consist of minor ijaw,igbo, yoruba and hausa,etc, meanwhile asaba to onitsha are parts of Benin empire, so i don't know why igbo are claiming onitsha to asaba

Euro31:
Yoruba ke ? In our Asaba?

according to ur own report that asaba consist of igbo, yoruba and hausa as minority, but in real sense asaba is in Benin kingdom

Jesusloveyou:
according to ur own report that asaba consist of igbo, yoruba and hausa as minority, but in real sense asaba is in Benin kingdom

in real nairaland sense abi? Why not come down To Asaba and Explain to us in Reality how Asaba is a benin kingdom

Jesusloveyou:
according to op, that asaba consist of minor ijaw,igbo, yoruba and hausa,etc, meanwhile asaba to onitsha are parts of Benin empire, so i don't know why igbo are claiming onitsha to asaba

u're mischievous and I expect nothing less for an Ewedu consumer it's in ur DNA ...

What I said is this .. Don't twist it

The composition of Asaba is mainly of Igbo people. Other groups in the city consists of Urhobo, Ukwuani, Isoko, Ijaw, Ika, Hausa, Itsekiri and Yoruba people.

Euro31:
in real nairaland sense abi? Why not come down To Asaba and Explain to us in Reality how Asaba is a benin kingdom

asaba and Benin were once together as one state and region, is easier to associate Benin with asaba than to associate igbo with asaba, from ika to agbor and asaba are all parts of Benin kingdom,

Jesusloveyou:
according to op, that asaba consist of minor ijaw,igbo, yoruba and hausa,etc, meanwhile asaba to onitsha are parts of Benin empire, so i don't know why igbo are claiming onitsha to asaba

Get it through your thick head. That savage neanderthal tribe that calls themselves yoloba are NOT indigenous of Asaba and may thunder fire you for wishing those devils on us.
Secondly, we are proud IGBO. Say it with me now, PROUD IGBO and I don't care how much that hurts you or anyone else. you are not part of our heritage thus, have no f2king right to tell me or any other asaba person who the f2k we are. Na you be asagba? Onyeara

Likewise the same for Onitsha. Na you be their obi? Ewu.
