Please, Where Is Niger Delta? Who Are The Niger Deltas? by Yorubasgreat(f): 12:39am On May 09, 2016
This question has become potent and it's now time to allocate a befitting answer to it..
We always hear people say things like, "I am from Niger Delta" but there is no state out of the 36+1 states in Nigeria named Niger Delta..

Now I also understand that Niger Delta is a creation of the constitution and by its makeups Abia and IMO State are also part of Niger Delta.. The membership of Cross River is contestable, but you hardly here people from there appoint themselves as Niger Deltas..

Pls Mr. WeNigerDelta Tonyebarcanista izonowie EasternLion help me to make sense of this nonsense attributes..

The Niger-Delta is a term that British used for the area and people who fall within the River Niger tributuaries in Southern Nigeria. Bayelsa, Rivers, Abia, Imo all fall within this term. However, many people now refere to Niger-Delta as any state in southern Nigeria where neither Igbos or Yorubas are the majority. In practical terms, there is no Niger-Delta. What you have is a set of minorities who are only United by the fact that they suffer the effects of Oil exploration and exploitation

Every marginalized tribe in Nigeria is Niger Delta by association.

Every Nigerian with no access to electricity at night nor fuel to power his generator is a Niger Deltan.

The language of Niger Delta is Justice against every form of oppression and the universal right to chart ones own destiny.

Freedom is the life force that propels a Niger deltan to demand full control over his destiny.

You can find a Niger deltan scattered across the geographical expression called Nigeria.

The leaders of the struggle are everyone who has spoken up against acts of injustices.Avengers,IPOB,Shiite,Agatus. etc.

Bonus: Every tribe,persons,animals and spirits benefiting from Nigeria current structure and resisting regionalism and full resource control is the enemy of Niger deltan Nigerians.

You this useless Eboe OP.
Stop using Yoruba name to carry out your Evil agenda ok....

The Niger Deltans know themselves.
Niger Delta is different from South South. ND is a geographical region situated in the Niger river delta and immediate surrounding areas. South-South is a Geo-POLITICAL region comprising the niger Delta and other ethnic minorities of the South.

Do you really want to know or you just want to look for trouble.

We have the geographical Niger Delta of Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta states only.


We also have the oil producing states of
Abia
Akwaibom
Bayelsa
Delta
Edo
Ondo
Rivers

We have the geopolitical zone known as South south consisting
Akwaibom
Bayelsa
Crossriver
Delta
Edo
Rivers
This were grouped together as a geopolitical zone and mostly is what people refer to as the Niger delta.
In reality they are just a union of Southern minority tribes as there is no relationship whatsoever between an ijaw man and an ogoja man or an ikom man and an itsekiri. Their strength is in their unity as minority tribes, not as cultural related.

Niger Delta is a terminology used politically to refer to states that produce crude oil and have untapped Natural gas.
-Niger Delta is NOT a tribe but Many tribes make up the Niger Delta.
Niger Delta is different from South South, An Abia man ONYEMA UGOCHUKWU was the 1st Chairman of NDDC.
That is Niger Delta for you.
Though, Ijaw is used as the face of Niger Delta.
