THANK YOU MY SISTER THEIR MEN ARE SO LAZY THAT THEY STAY AT HOME AND THEIR WIFES WILL GO AND HUSTLE AND BRING MONEY TO FEED THEM,,I HAPPEN TO BE A GRADUATE FROM DELSU SO I HAVE LIVED WITH THEM AND I UNDERSTAND THEM...AND THEY CAN MARRY SO MANY WIFES LIKE THE FULANIS,,EVEN THE YOUNG ONES WITH NO JOBS...THATS WHY THEIR WOMAN ARE ALWAYS CRAZY ABOUT THE DELTA IGBOS THEY LIKE TO MARRY US

the reason why the Urhobos marry the delta igbos you quoted is wrong, obviously you need to do lots of work and searching.... i dey laff. I'm from a clan that has never married outside the trie for over 10 geenrations we no get complains, but we admire the delta igbos in ways you won'tunderstand, not the one u quoted, draw near to people and find out truths before u reach sudden judgements

fratermathy:


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


Anything you are saying now should be with cited authority.

The last ethnic census that was done in 1963 recognised well the larger population of Kanuris, Tivs and even Nupes ahead of Urhobos. You can verify. Since then, we have not had an ethnic census. So i wonder what statistics made Urhobo 5th largest in Nigeria.

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!!

We ror oshare leave matter as e bee.no bee by force to align.

amiablesystems:



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?

YOU ARE TALKING MATUREDLY MY BROTHER....BUT TELL YOUR OVIE THAT

Sanchez01:

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.

2016 census?

bro i choose my path. I don't obey clannish rules, It's better to help the igbos achieve Biafra, speaking strategically, and from what i see in the Spirit, i will keep supporting Biafra, there's no need for the entire Niger Delta to be afriad of when i'm alive, if any yawa dey, una go knw say some ppl dey. We are watching, we are waiting, we are preparing... change is coming home soon..... prepare for the harvest, focus on our strengths than what another man can be if he's released, the igbos want the Biafra and they must get it...just as the Niger Delta wants resource control it equates the reason should get their independence, not the other way around. I knw the fear in most Urhobo's heart,but leave that out..there's nothing to be afraid of, no tribe can ever defeat us in a battle I swear it on my fada's grave, i didnt spend over 20 years studying Physics and Chemistry for nothing..

So much hatred and tribalistic comments from non-deltans here (especially the so called delta ibos). You Nigerians be complaining about racism from whites and here in Nigeria you cannot respect and love other people's culture. Op did a fine piece of writing here. Why is it difficult for you dimwit Nigerians to accept and love others? You people will carry religion on top head but your hearts are dark. Everything on this article is true. You are proud of your tribe so why can't op be proud of his? Stupid tribalistic brain dead africans! No wonder the whites call you monkeys!

The people complaining are not delta igbos ..check again

There's no point arguing for or against Biafra because everything you say is your opinion. My question is simple:

Ekuoto vo oyin vwon nurhe?

Ihwo ri Biafra vwo supportu na, vwo mlo obor ayen ruru ovi ri threadi nana. Kpani vwor mle e?

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.

You have spoken well bro. Warri needs development first. However, I am of the opinion that if something big can be situated in Warri (even if it's just its own share of the entertainment industry), more attention will follow. The government is not seeing the potentials in Warri now because nothing is happening.

I really hope and pray for the day when Warri or anywhere near it will regain its place as a capital, be it in a new Delta State or an Urhobo State! I know it will happen someday.

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.

I never said it isn't an Igbo word. I said Warri people use it and the way we pronounce it gives it a comic effect! In fact, many of the words in Nigerian pidgin are borrowed from all over!

amiablesystems:


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?
