So get some facts to prove us wrong. Don't start making baseless claims.

Someone already did. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/11/omoigui-at-80-i-made-them-pay-for-claiming-i-removed-oil-wells-from-ondo-to-bendel/

They rightly claim Yoruba because there are no external forces at play, trying to give them a distinct identity.

Eze Ogba, Ogbuehi Francis Ellah and his supporters in Ogba Maintained that Ogba is a branch of the Igbo ethnic group, but the breakaway groups were financed and encouraged to grow by the FG, they frustrated Francis Ellah throughout his stay on the throne, and immediately replaced him with an Igbophobic New Eze, who changed his throne to Oba from Eze.

These people reek of Edo to me.

Just as Arochukwu reeks of Efik and Nsukka reeks of Igala.

Igbo is a diverse group.

But the fundamentals remain the same.

I don tire for una, pazienza.
Where do you draw the line between Igbo and Igboid language soeaking groups?

pazienza:


Nothing like Igboid.
The Igboid language is divided into two. Igbo language and Ekpeye language.

Both Igbo and Ekpeye are the Igboid languages.
The rest Fall under Igbo, while Ekpeye has no sub classification, it stands alone and has cognation score of 76.34% when compared to Onicha Igbo.

scholes0:


Well , there is an Igbo proper within the Igbo group of Igboid languages. And then the others like Ikwerre , Ogba, and Ndoki.

I meant to say Ndokwa.

Read that offshore boundary overed 200 nautical miles pre and post independence?

Could this argument be applied to fishing trawlers operating 100-200 nautical miles? Do they obtain permit from state or FG?
Does Naija constitution recognize state's right to protect its territorial water?
Can rights to territorial waters be concurrent?

IlekeHD:


Noisemaking. Did they also curve out Lagos state from Rivers?
Looking at the map, I can now understand why Ibos want the forced SS/SE relationship and their renewed claim on Ijawlands.

pazienza:
My argument was never if Ilaje is Yoruba. Any blind man just by looking at Ilajes and their names, will know that they are just Yorubas with riverine culture.

dned:


And what is south east and south south?

Its political (not even in the constitution)...they are eastern Nigeria. I'm can tell you that an average person in the south west refers to se/ss as 'omo ibo'.

Moreover, because parts of Bendel had gone to Ondo, there were five oil wells very close to the boundary. Initially, the Ondo people wanted the royalty to be shared 50-50 because they were very close to the boundary between both states.

In 1981, a Yoruba man, who was Director of Survey, wrote to the Ministry of Finance on the issue and, after charting, it was found that the oil wells were in Bendel State. He wrote to the Ministry of Finance that the Yoruba would not take this.

He went to Lagos, met with the Director of Survey and reported that a Bini man was behind the charting. Then my Director said no, he charted it. In 1984, Bamidele Otiko became the military governor of Ondo State and came to Lagos to meet my Director. At the meeting, my Director told Otiko he was responsible for the charting.

When Chief Olu – Falae became the Secretary to the Federal Government, he directed me to write a letter that pending the resolution of the Ondo – Bendel boundary adjustment issue, they should be sharing the royalty 50 – 50. I declined to write the letter.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/11/omoigui-at-80-i-made-them-pay-for-claiming-i-removed-oil-wells-from-ondo-to-bendel/
