As if Aniomas are not Igbo? So my omission of proudly Igbos was your problem? Did you need someone to authenticate your large ego??

Keep watching me. I like the attention. It shows that Urhobo is progressing.

This is a moderator of the largest forum in Nigeria. I am highly disappointed.

Ya so keep Isokos out of your land grabbing tendencies. They are NOT Urhobos.

Name the migrant village you cheap lying idiot

Our "Okos" are in Ikale, Ilaje, Ilesa, Oro and Ijebu. These "Okos" are unnamed because they are not incorporated into the Yoruba polity. They are still strangers. The villages are built around each other, are made up of an average of 10-20 houses and are headed by someone who answers to the Baale of the owners of the farm land they have settled on. The "Okos" are much in number and many are whittling away because they are returning home again. The few that are remaining are there because of other business concerns. They will eventually return.

God forbids that Urhobos become like Igbos to claim another man's land or identity!!!

But Egbon, you dull sha o. This simple thing I've been explaining, you just can't get!

I have no problem with Igbos. Like I've always said, my fiance is an Igbo from Asaba. I can't love her and hate her people. It just doesn't work. If I am anti-Igbo, then I am in everything. Even now, I show her the comments from the Igbos here and she has a field day laughing.

My issue is with Igbo people being delusional and hypocritical. Imagine this thread that mentioned 20 distinct ethnic groups at least once: here's the analysis

No Hausa came to fault the topic
1. Only 1 Yoruba came to make a vain point that Urhobos do not have farming villages in Yorubaland. A point that Bigfrancis21 wants to stretch in order to massage his Igbocentric interests
2. Igbos managed to derail this thread and commented on page 1-20, all derailing it with phantom issues and points that have no direct bearing on them. This is not surprising as the trend is there in virtually all threads on Nairaland.
3. One Itsekiri came to say I was biased towards Itsekiri and he made his point and LEFT
4. Isokos came to show their pride and love of the conurbation
5. Urhobos/Warri peeps came for hailings and to identify
6. No OTHER mentioned ethnic groups came to fight or cause squirmishes. This is not to say that they were not there or didn't see the thread.


I leave you to draw conclusions.

Please list out those urhobo 'villages' or 'settlements', whichever suits you, in the SW for everyone here to read. If only you can prove yourself credible just once by providing concrete evidence out of many of your false claims.

Nothing is funny here whatsoever.

The villages are known as Oko and if Urhobos want to identify each from each, we use the name of the original settle. i.e. Okoefe, Okoiroro, Okoese, etc.

These "Okos" are NOT part of the local government structure of Yoruba country and are not indigenes!

You don't like them there? report them to OPC!

No villages exist in SW that start with Oko. Oko is farm in Yoruba so you are being michevious. You know that so you are being tricky. Even then those names Okoefe don't exist in Yorubaland. Maybe in your head. Hahahahaha. Okoefe ko, Okofrathermathy ni.

You don't have to recognise them.

Like I said, these "Okos" were informal and setup by migrants. They are NOT Yoruba villages.!

Lol, what were you thinking before that only you are 'educated' on African history and affairs and that the rest of us aren't or what? That you could come here and grab other people's land, empty chest beat, parade Urhobo supremacist tendencies over Ijaw and Itsekiris, make false claims etc. and expect not to be countered or what? And you CANNOT prove one, not even one, of the numerous false claims you've made on this thread. The JOKE is on YOU on your own thread.

LMAO. You are confused. Name these villages. There is no Okoese or Okoefe in Yorubaland. Even Urhobo's don't name villages with Oko. I know it's till kingdom come before you name it. You are bloody confused and a liar. Spreading false information. You should be banned.

You know nothing about Urhobo towns egbon.

In my village, we have more than 20 "Okos". We have Okoedafe, Okurekpo, Okurikpehre, etc. All these "Okos" are not recognised as separate towns/villages from the central community even though they are distant and separate.

That is the conception of "Okos" the Urhobos have in the SW!

You don't have to like it or accept it, but they are there. If you don't like them there, start a movement to kick them out.

If they are not recognized as seperate villages and towns, how can you now call them a village? Are you confused or confusing yourself. There is no where in Nigeria that your definition qualifies for a village. Oko means farm in Yoruba.

Am sorry to burst your bubble but you so effing ignorant...

There is a village called orugbo between itokin and agbowa in lagos state... Its an urhobo village. Itokin itself is over 80 percent urhobos... Between itokin and epe there are over 3 other such villages i know of personally...

Coming down to ogun state... Just after itele there is an urhobo village that is so culturally attuned to the extent the church signboard read st peters urhobo and isoko anglican church...
