Why so pained man?

Take it easy. Your time to shine is already beckoning!

THAT IS YOUR BUSSINESS I AM ONLY MAKING MY POINT AND DEFENDING MY TRIBE,BUT THOSE WHO HAVE MINGLED WITH THE ISOKOS AND URHOBOS WILL UNDERSTAND BETTER WHAT I MEAN

Amarabae:
I don't think that Urhobos or Isokos are not the 5th largest tribe in Nigeria.
Kanuris are more populated than Urhobos.
Btw Nice thread.

no ma, it's on record on various writings across Nigeria the Urhobos are the fifth largest in the country ma... verify..

nengibo:

Are they more than the Efik/Ibibio/Annang peoples

These people, collectively, may be able to challenge Urhobo's population.

However, they have never agreed that they are one people. They waste no time in informing anyone who wants to hear that they are different ethnic groups. When seen as different, their numbers, individually, do not rival that of Urhobos. However, when they come together as a single people, we may have a contender and I strongly believe that we will still win.


However, this is not a competition or contest. Just enjoy the thread and leave the rest for Nigeria to solve. We are all minorities, after all!

GodIsBiafran:
God forbid for we Ibos to identify with Warri. The same Itshekiris and Ijaws and Urhobo that are opposed to joining biafra! Tufiakwa!! I demand the OP to rectify that lie from his post. RIGHT NOW!!

stop being a wimp. the Urhobo's have divisions from time memorial. I'm Urhobo and believe in the actualization of the Biafra. take it easy

Don't be so pained bro. I understand your frustration, I really do. I have been where you are right now. That was when I was 14/15 or thereabout. I outgrew it finally. I have hope and faith that you would outgrow yours too.

Amarabae:
you are the one embarrasing Igbos here, oh you mean Ipob progress? Has reality dawn on you bunch of jokes that the urhobos, isokos etc are not interested in ipob agitation?
Who will oppose Igbos if they agitate for a country for the Igbos only?
stop all these tyranical mentality..

Many of the emerging Younger generation in the Niger Delta believe the igbos should choose how they want to live, hence the neccessity of the Biafra, it isn't as it's widely speculated that all in the Niger Delta oppose the biafra,i do not.. and will continue to support itso God will deliver Nigeria from the contraption it currently is..

Btw Nice thread.

Correct. OP fratermathy take note. Urhobos cannot be the 5th largest ethnic group. No way are Urhobos more than Kanuris or Tivs. Even tribes like Nupe, Gbagyi and Igala likely outnumber Urhobo.

Urhobo's position is well documented in numerous academic sources.


Anything you are saying now should be with cited authority.

The way this tribal thing is getting out of hand on this forum is a thing of concern. Look at the beautiful write up done by the OP only to allow the tribalistic bigots to derail this thread.
Seun, Lalasticlala, myndd44 you guys really need to address this issue and find a lasting solution to this unwanted behavior. It is getting too much and out of hand .. Serial tribalistic should get their IP address permanently banned.

afonjaheadhunt:
if this thread is for urhobo-isokos why mention Igbo's and if those groups are identified as a distinct ethnic group who are the Igbos you referred to in your post that identity with warri.? And why did Mr president tag, Godwin Emifele, as Igbo, how about tony Elumelu, Pat Utomi, Ngozi Iwela, Kachukwu, Your Governor Ifeanyi Okowa are they not Igbo too, ? The truth is you actually wish they were a distinct group from the Igbo's, but sorry that is your loss...

none of these guys are igbos, stop deciving yourself.. go to the anioma region tell them they are igbo and watch the look on their faces, stop deciving yourself, let people be who they are, if the SE wants biafra, an identity, then should Anioma not be left to decide her identity similarly?

Efewestern:


lolz.. it's not easy to please everybody oniovo. the thread was free from any tribal sentiment..

but to let peace reign, just remove ukwuani and ika and replace with igbo. na there the problem they come.

..

lalasticlala

tell the ukwuani and ika this and yu go cause riot o. i no dey

Your outbursts remind me of someone I used to know. He was so full of hate and pain. He hated everyone but himself. In fact, he's now suffering from chronic schizophrenia.

You could have passed without your madness

The Kanuris were thought to be the fourth largest ethnic group, beating the Ijaw nation to the spot. There were controversies surrounding this in 2006, following Jonathan's emergence, one which many claimed tipped the Ijaws to the spot against the Kanuris. However, following the wake of of terrorism in Borno and other areas, the size of the ethnic group has dwindled. World atlas confirms this and even claim that Boko Haram is of Kanuri descent. Presently, the Kanuris make up just 4% of the country's population.

Urhobo is the fifth largest ethnic group with over four million people (according to the 2016 census). The number has increased dramatically over the past 10 years.

All these butthurt Igbos, dat can't live without mentioning the Izon apu, don't worry it will soon be wazo bo lol

In fact, the Delta Igbos are beginning to identify with the Warri brand as it is now.

@Fratermathy, i like dis comment. dont take it too far though! Every Naija man can identify with the Warri brand as a bad ...from the naija.

nkemdi89:
Warri is a great place, as a proud deltan I love to identify with them, that aspect of pidgin English I am trying to minimize my speaking, because have observed it creates an impression of one being rude, academically backward especially when communicating with people from other regions. The slogan warri no dey carry last indirectly has negative effects on the people as most of them are lazy and are always looking for short cut to success. If an urhobo man dupes you, you will understand that an IBO man is learning, that's why the anioma people refer to them as urhobo wayo. The op is a passionate urhobo man who has the love for his people, warri people should keep pride aside and develop other hidden potentials in them.

Ma i advise not to quit pidgin saying it denotes rudeness, when i speak English people can't pick up.Aha yu know how we are when we really wanna speak, so to put things in slow gear and function at the level of others i speak thrashy english and pidgin most times...

fratermathy:


This is something that they can easily say. I have done what you said.

I hope this makes frontpage though. I've sent it to be published on other platforms too.

Although we disagree otobo issue, I will say don't edit anything. Anyone who is not happy with the write up can go and jump into the ocean

YOU ARE TALKIN RUBBISH ,FRUSTRATION ON WHAT?ON THIS URHOBO TRASH YOUR ARE TALKING ABOUT?
GUY BE RATIONAL..EVEN FOR FEDERAL LEVEL WE THE DELTA IGBOS HAVE MADE IMPACTS MORE THAN U GUYS,,,EVEN ENTERTAINMENT...,SPORTS ETC SO WHY SHOULD I BE FRUSTRATED..AM ONLY TRYING TO MAKE YOU SEE YOUR STUPIDITY

GodIsBiafran:
Seun. Please don't bring this thread to front-page. The OP has not FULLY apologized for his anti-Igbo bigotry.

Oga, open another thread and let's us discuss the anti Igbo bigotry you are talking about because the only bigot here is you.

Nixiepie:

Na today! We buku Oooo! Nothing Nothing! Na so we full ground...

Wonderful thread afterall.

Warri is a city for minority tribes in Nigeria but the name and influence it has in Nigeria is so high and wonderful. Thanks to the Urhobos-Isokos, Itsekiris and Ijaws for doing this.

I also truly wish Warri to become an entertainment hub in Nigeria. Everything must not be centred in Lagos afterall.
However it really takes a very developed place to attract the settling of succesful artistes. Warri since it's not the state capital has been disadvantaged to an extent in that aspect. Only govt effort can take Warri to developed heights in order to compete nationally, if not, all Warri stars and talents will keep on relocating to Lagos and investing all there. It's quite sad.

lol bro.. Yep I support the Biafra, one valid reason i support the igbos getting Biafra? I don't see a simple reason not to. As a matter of fact i regret we didnt join the civil war which i believe was a right course, take a look at the society is all well with Nigeria over 40 years after the civil war if the voice and purpose against the civil war was just?

lol speak for yourself... come over to my crib and come see me work,.. Lol

I beg to disagree at OP, that popular exclamation "Ewooo" is a confirmed Igbo word and not warri slang as you claimed in your article. BTW, I enjoyed you4 write up.
