I urge all those that want warri to be capital of Delta state to push for the creation of Anioma state which Anioma people have been agitating for a long time. As an Igbo man, I want Anioma to become the 6th Igbo state.

TonyeBarcanista:
It is only in Delta state that it's capital city is less viable, less popular, less active and no historic backing like other towns/cities other than to satisfy the wish of a woman(Maryam). Before independence, Warri was the capital of Delta province. Warri is the city that represents present day Delta state just as PH is to Rivers and Ibadan is to Oyo state. Warri deserves to be the seat of power! Even Israel had to move to their capital to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
That said, for the sake of collective peace and unity, the capital should remain in Asaba. The deed has already been done. Beside, Asaba could have been chosen because as at then the 3 inhabitants of Warri were after their own heads due to disagreement.

Why is the capital of Anambra, Awka and not Onitsha? Why is that of Abia, Umuahia and not Aba? What of that of Nigeia that is Abuja and not Lagos?

Op is just spewing threash like shit from my yansh.

Before osogbo was made capital, Ilesha town was more developed and Ilesha is still currently larger than osogbo.

Aba is larger than umuahia
Onitsha is larger than awka.

You guys don't get it at all. People like Spanishkid and Barcanista are tirelessly working to divide SS abi Nigerdelta or whatever they call it


For example after, Tonye created a thread to call for patriotism bla bla bla, same guy(less than 48hours) created another thread pleading with Buhari to disregard Amechi for being unpatriotic. I'm like

In his words

"It is my humble appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore the unpatriotic position of Amaechi"

How can he say Amechi of all people is unpatriotic if not that he's working underground to bring serious confusion in his so (beloved) Nigerdelta

You guys should open ur eyes and see how he scores "own goals" in the process

the simple truth is that tonye barscanista is not from SS. He's just an imposter claiming to be an ijaw man. A normal thing here on nairaland, but too bad for him he's only deceiving himself.

This spanishkid stup1d sha.
U are not from Delta and u want to discuss Delta issue, then with ur criminal tendencies u start mentioning the names of non Deltans to come and debate Delta issues for Deltans... EDO people stup1d no be Small.

Your sanity is highly questionable.

spanishkid:
Warri is the economic hub of Delta state and not Asaba. Urhobos, Itsekiris and Ijaws are the big 3 of Delta state but why would the capital of a state be located in the outskirts of a state rather than the middle of a state? Warri is more economically viable than Asaba. What does Asaba and the whole of Delta North contribute to the IGR of Delta state?

Mariam Babangida decided to use politics due to her husband being the head of state as at then to cheat the Urhobos, Itsekiris and Ijaws by moving their capital to the most remote part of Delta State. The time has come for the Urhobos, Itsekiris and Ijaws to take back rightfully belong to them. Delta North are a minority in Delta state. The capital should either be in Warri, Ughelli or Abraka.

Onitsha should also be the capital of Anambra. Idiot.

Why is the capital of the USA in Washington DC and not New York City?

Why is the capital of New York STATE in ALBANY and not New York City?

Why is the capital of California SACRAMENTO and not Los Angeles?

Why is the capital of Nevada CARSON CITY and not Las Vegas?

Why is the capital of Illinois SPRINGFIELD and not Chicago?

What do you mean by "less viable"? As in Yenogoa being more viable than Asaba that hosts an airport whose passenger traffic statistics is one of the fastest growing in the country?

As in no "historic value"? A city that was once the head quarters of the Royal Niger Company even as it hosts the museum of the explorers - Lander Brothers - in Nigeria.

As in " less active"? A city that has 200 times more modern hotels and continuos real estate investments than Warri.

A city that is at peace with her self, enjoying the local economic boom her proximity to the largest market in west Africa brings.

An annoying mischief maker you are. Shame on you.

We are talking of Warri/Asaba not Yenogoa

That can't be compared to what Warri host. Beside Warri has been the capital of Delta province since the days of oil Rivers Protectorate. Beside, which city in Nigeria you won't find Hq of one coy or the other? Even VI hosts Banks Hq that you won't find in Ikeja.

There is nothing "active" in Asaba when compared to Warri, both historically and in modern times. Warri is to Delta what PH is to Rivers.

If you are smart you will see my position the last paragraph that you quoted.

the royal niger company made base in Asaba before they had to move to Calabar due to the Ekwumekwu resistance,
Asaba is way more peaceful than warri, it is very close to one of the biggest commercial hubs in the country - Onitsha,

it would be the capital of the proposed Anioma state, then the 'core deltas' can make warri the capital of the solar system if they like.

Sickening is the only word I can find to describe his hypocrisy. It's more annoying I believe he's doing it on purpose just to please some people

watz diz Tonyebarcanista and Spanishkid saying abt my Asaba? I have warned them to stay away from Delta North.
Yenegoa and Benin city are the worst capitals in SS and these two pained bigots want to open dia mouth and talk about Asaba instead of focusing on their backward states.

TonyeBarcanista:
If you are smart you will see my position the last paragraph that you quoted.

All the issues you raised about Asaba will scale any level of historical enquiry. 1904 when 96% of the current state capitals were still swampy forests and jungles, Asaba was already a renowned cultural center...Hosted the first international conference on Igbo language that year.

The attempt to cover up your bigotry by tactically using the phrase "collective peace and unity", only shows how dull you really are as a public commentator.

Big lie, Israeli capital in Jerusalem!

Onitsha is more economically viable than Awka, yet Awka is the capital of Anambra State. Umuahia is more economically viable than Aba, yet Umuahia is the ccapital of Abia State. There are lots of cities in Nigeria more economically viable than Abuja.

I seriously doubt it was because of Maryam.

Here, IBB said Asaba is his ancestral home although he did not explain further:
