MAYBE I don't even have any Urhobo friend and I don't need to join a "SCHOLAR" group to tell if Urhobos are educated or not. Study the life of Urhobos around you and not any socialite club. The number seven is very much debatable; it still does not change a thing though. I'm a full blooded Urhobo mangrin
well the schoolers are full of educated intellectuals,of various disciplines, ie doctors lawyers,engineers, from home and abroad.They the Okpes even have one of their scholars in the Guinness book of records.

Even my dad doesn't want me to marry from his people. Na God help my papa say in no remain for village. They are lazy like hell. The day my mum who is yoruba followed my dad to delta. She laugh taya. Na women dey go farm, ride bicycle to buy food stuffs while d men sit at home and lord over the family and drink ogogoro. They marry more than one wife. All d ijaw men I know wey dey lagos married more than one wife and have different concubines. They have this sense of entitlement. This is what is affecting them till today cus they believe since the oil is in their backyard, they should be spoon fed. Op if this people go to school like u claim. Oil companies will be employing them more than other ethnic groups in their states. I no this people well and no matter how you sugar coat it, they are damn lazy and aggressive. I can't imagine igbos or yorubas having that much oil in their backyard. The world for hear am.

Spiritual wise. That's another story entirely. Their water gods are very powerful and it lingers from generation to generation. Na serious prayers dey break the yoke. According to my dad, he witnessed it. In those days, people could get so angry and go and stay inside the water for hours wivout coming out. They are water people especially their women. By the way, I am itshekiri.
I think U went to the village,what did you expect.

Lol!

Most urhobo men are lazy, their wives slave for them
I don't believe up to 50% of them are very educated, i think they need to explore the world more too

The itsekiris are proud people, they think their culture is all that. They are highly tribalistic too. About them being accommodating, I really can't say. It's possible

They are all funny, especially the Urhobos

I don't know much about the Ijaws
Let me ask you a simple question, what is the highest achievement you know about and urhobo man??

Igbos are not interested in lazy bigots and traitors. Igbos have not forgotten you saboteurs and at such do not trust you. Remember how you joined hands with the enemy to commit genocide against Asaba people.


There's oil in Anambra, Abia, Enugu and Imo. The whole of Enugu and Anambra States are sitting on Gas deposits; Coal at Enugu, Lime stone for cement in Abakaliki; rice in Ebonyi State; West Africa's largest market at Onitsha, Anambra; big markets at Aba, Abia state and Nnewi, Anambra...I could go on and on. Even without reliance on crude oil the Igbos have excelled and are more than ever before capable of doing  more exploits and competing with the World powers! 

The Igbo's quest is not for traitors or lazy cowards but strictly for people who value hard work, honesty, diligence, dedication, patriotism and efficiency.  

This is a free world in which you are entitled to freedom of association. You are free to merge yourselves with Yoruba, Bini, Esan and any other interested ethnic group.  

Stop feeling any important and leave Igbos out of your misery!

The ijaws are more accommodating

the itsekiri are not too friendly with strangers


In ogulugha where i work, u cant tell the difference between indigene & non indigene

they see everybody as their own

even ghana people sef dey run Mata there like son of the soil

u can't try in itsekiri land

How will you just jump into conclusion that Istekiri are not accomodating, maybe you Should carry out a research before talking..and mind you there's a difference between staying around and claiming territory of a place..an Istekiri defends its zone with his life but when you don't come with bad intentions, you free to roll

Thats my point, do not make any assumption until you are entirely sure,I'm an urhobo from a family of 7,I am a mechanical Engineer in the Uk our last born is in Uni and would soon grad as a pharmacist, My dad and my immediate brother are chartered accountants, my Mum is an head mistress,two of my sisters are lecturers,I come from teh family of the highest chattered accountants in the world, 7 in total,you can google it,the record is in the guinness book of records.SO If you don't know about certain ethnic group, do not assume from hearsay or waht you just see within your circle.It will be good to migrate out of your immediate comfort and experience life in a different region only then you can make comparison.

Why force yourself on Igbos? Is this a form of inferiority complex or what? I can see that you're having a great challenge comprehending simple English.

Igbos are not interested in horrid looking, lazy bigots and traitors. Igbos have not forgotten you saboteurs and at such do not trust you. Remember how you joined hands with the enemy to commit genocide against Asaba people of Delta State.

Dear setaje
I have noticed how u announce ur grievances towards ur ethnicity. I may not have known what you may have gone tru and I don't intend asking. But coming to spew hatred on your tribe, ur identity, ur blood won't erase any sad or bad memories it will only refrehen it. And by the way to avoid bringing back your sad ordeal pls try as much as possible to avoid any thread about itsekiri.

And truth is. Bitter weda u hate ur roots or not

we are itsekiri

Lol! Calm down
All these stats you're giving me, does it account for 50% of the Urhobo race?
Of course, there are educated Urhobo people.
Also I'm not quoting hearsays, neither do I need to 'migrate from my immediate comfort and experience life in a different region' before I can give my opinion on what I have observed generally. I am Urhobo, an accountant and my family members are very educated too.
However, I still maintain my stance about their general literacy level. The fact that your family name is in the Guinness book of records doesn't change anything.

Igbos don't need you. Curb ur bloated ego. Igbos live on dia God-given abilities, determination and doggedness. FG privileges are almost non existent for the easterner. I know you know igbos are not keen to co-dwell with anything outside the five core eastern states. BTW, what do you bring to the table? Educationally, culturally, business acumen-wise, looks, vocationally, technologically etc, how are your folks superior to them? What's the logical reasoning that's making you think they need you so bad?
I'm partly igbo and ikwerre(Phalga, to be precise) , I've the chance to claim Rivers since its my maternal home, but it's not necessary. I'm perfectly okay as an igboman.
I've lived many years in warri, and ur folks aren't so classy to the point of an igbo man dying so hard to have them around. Shebi na Ubeji, Koko, Okere etc? Abi na d crude oil wey d price dey drop continuously? Do igbos live on free money from oil companies?
Well, as for ur own matter, you no know where dey pain you. True itsekiris have no issues with the igboman from what I know and what I've seen.
