Good for them.

Asaba is an Igbo city so Igbos are bound to enter the city more and more. It's no biggie. Asaba is not the biggest nor the only city in Delta State. If anyone doesn't like Igbo presence, they can always relocate to Warri. Semper Fi!

Asaba is the best city in Delta. And can only grow more in the coming decades. Deal with it. As an Igbo man, I will feel more at home at Asaba than a non Igbo like you, deal with it too.

Firstly, I am not an aspiring writer (whatever you mean by that).

Secondly, I don't give a rat's ass about Igbos or what any group calls themselves. I only stated my facts from my own point of view. I am not trying to appeal to anyone or any group. If anybody doesn't like it, they can gerrout for all I care.! As far as I am concerned, I stated reality and if you are in doubts, reread that segment of my post again.

Truth, whether you like it or not, cannot long be hidden and the truth here is simple: Delta "Igbos" don't like being called Igbos! This statement has not made any stance or cast any aspersions.

Finally, if you have nothing better to say than to sow ethnic discord, please visit the politics sections and troll on... Sir undecided!
truth hurts

stop mistaking your opinion for fact

You have time for the treacherous being. Linking Ukwuani to Isoko, and then to Urhobo. While forgetting to tell us that Igbide in Isoko migrated from Eastern Igboland, and is part of Isoko today.

Was quick to stress in Igbo denials amongst the Ukwuani and Ika, Forgetting to tell us that Okpe people consider themselves a separate group from Urhobo.

Went through great stress to tell us how the Isoko pulled out of Urhobo in the Western house, forgettin to tell us how the Igbo denials amongst the Western Igbos started after the civil war. And also forgot to tell us that Isokos had always been a distinct people from Uhrobo, as the Colonials recognized them as "Igaboh " whil the Urhobos were called "Sobos".

He thinks that no one sees through his divide and rule tactics while he unites his own group.

Anyway, thank God for Enuani people that have refused to be pawns in their game.







Are you even a Deltan?

Why do you guys like spoiling your name by coming online to spew trash and turn every thread into a tribal war.


Well, good news is that I am better than this and have far outgrown this so troll on...

"True. Many Deltans of the true old Delta province fought against the Asaba capital location but it has come to stay and there is nothing we can do about it at all. We just have to deal with it. Agbor/Kwale/Ughelli/Abraka are more central locations for the capital rather than Asaba. Any visitor who visits Asaba for the first time will assume ALL DELTANS are IGBOS because of the Igbo-factor in Asaba.

Our only hope is that Anioma State be created and the capital moved. Until then, Asaba remains our capital for better or worse".

"Ughelli sounds like a good choice.
Even warri is not that bad. If people say Warri is old and congested, that is because the city hasn't been treated the way it should, if billions has been sunk into the city the same way as it has been done to Asaba, warri will be in a much better shape.
Asaba was a small dusty old town before it became capital of Delta".

See them. Enemies of Igbo progress! This is why Ndiigbo stepped in.

Asaba and it's environment is the only remaining Igbo frontier in the west of Niger, the rest is mired by Igbo denial, Asaba is being singled out by Igbophobic Delta tribes only because she retained her Igbo origin and continues to reach out to the SE.
You would rather have a non Igbo Asaba than an Igbo Asaba, the whole talk about centrality is a camouflage.

We will not sit and watch envious inferiority complex plaqued groups in Delta, run her down.

Say any trash about Asaba, and you attract Igbo wrath instantly.

Nothing like Deltans. If your write up was about Deltans, there wouldn't have been need to write about the ethnic groups.

Next time when you go about writing useless and brainless articles, remember not to meddle into Igbo issues.

"The Igboid groups such as Ika (Agbor), Enuani (Asaba), Ukwuani/Ndokwa (Kwale). It should be noted that while these groups maybe Igboid linguistically, they don't perceive themselves as Igbos culturally and otherwise. The only group that has major affinities with Igbos is the Enuanis (Asaba). The Ukwuanis have some cultural affinities with Urhobo/Isoko due to long contact. Collectively, the "Delta Igbos", as they are called, have a population of about 1.5 million and they form the second dominant ethnic bloc. They also occupy Delta North senatorial district. They are known as ANIOMA people, an acronym derived from Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili while the (ma) is a common suffix to complete the word which means "good land".

See this hypocrite. What Peace? When your people are ever continuously boiling in your wicked hearts over Asaba hosting the state capital. This thread was about Delta, but your co travellers turned it into an anti Asaba thread and the treacherous OP never failed to tell us who is denying and who isn't denying being Igbo.

Your grouse with Asaba is its Igbo nature, you would rather have her deny her Igbo origins to satisfy your inferiority complex like the rest have, but she wouldn't. Deal with it. And let Asaba and it's Igbo inhabitants be.
