FG Must Create Urhobo/Isoko State From Delta State. by bolaino(m): 9:26am On Jan 18, 2017
I want to use this medium to appeal to the Federal Government Of Nigeria to please consider the creation of an Indigenous state comprising solely of both the Urhobo and Isoko States Respectively. as Bayelsa was created. I believe it is within our constitutional rights as Ethnic nationalities with distinct cultural and social roots in this country. to call on the FG to recognize our uniqueness and create a separate state from Delta state compromising of Urhobo and Isoko.

Urhobo/Isoko combined together own a lot of landmass in Delta State. but yet we are still made to beg the other smaller tribes on our land for allocation and jobs. it is not right.

good line of thinking. but the Anioma people lost that privilege when they decided to turn against Urhobo and Impose Okowa on us.

yes Thank you I have we have our reasons to clamor for a new state to be created out of the old Delta State. you see Ethnic intolerance in the state is growing by the day and would eventually lead to ethnic war/ ethnic cleansing. but in order for all of this to be avoided Major Ethnic Groups like the Urhobo and Isoko people should be given their own distinct political arena where we can successfully. without bias exercise our fundamental human rights to elect leaders of our choice. which we are currently being denied of, in Delta State.

We don't need more states in the SS. We don't even need more states in Nigeria.

We need to restructure this country to get six geopolitical regions, not have more states.

Urhobos cannot always have their way in Delta State. Urhobos have had 8 years with Ibori. Itshekiris have had 8 years with Uduaghan. It's now the turn of the Aniomas to have 8 years with Okowa. The governorship should then rotate to the Ijaws and Isokos before the Urhobos get it back.

Deltans can use the diversity in the state to create a model state in Nigeria. But everyone is still playing tribal politics. If them one share Delta, e go reach like 5 places. Anioma go dey one side, Ijaws go dey one side, Itshekiris go dey one side, Isoko go dey one side, because I sure say them no go join Urhobos them. Even the minority groups like the Kwale them go dey grumble if them attach them to any of the split states.

bros. the Tribalism has gotten too much in the state. and Isoko is willing to join Urhobo in this quest. I know because I am a member of the APC in Delta State and I have a strong grassroots following here. so we believe this is the solution to the impending crisis that is coming. I will be shocked if ijaw and itshekiri don't start fighting by January ending but I would be more shocked if the FG think all this is just talk.

First let me state that you are one intellectual on Nairaland i respect.
that said there is no distinction btw Urhobo & Isoko. Lastly Ijaws are too greedy and selfish. Why on Earth should the SSG and deputy governor hail from the same place.

Thanks for the reply.

There is a distinction. We may have similar history and culture, but currently Isoko and Urhobo are distinct ethnicities.

That said, the Ijaws know how to get what they want. Urhobos are the largest in Delta. Yet they can't tame the Itsekiris and the Ijaws. Otuaro, Amori and the rest are just figure-heads who are sellouts. The UPU is a toothless bull-dog.

If not, Urhobo should have used its size, clout, and wealth to make alliances that would make them the Fulanis of Delta State who dictate who gets what. So, don't blame the Ijaws who notice the power vacuum and are actively trying to fill it.

The Urhobos and the Isokos are too docile for the hot-blooded Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnicities. Tribalism no be just to fight. Na to dey ruthless, selfish, and decisive. The Ijaws and Itsekiris are all of the above. The Urhobos and Isokos are the complete opposite; which is why they keep losing their lands and spheres of influence to the Ijaws and the Itsekiris.

The Urhobos should stop whining and man up. Delta State is theirs. I can't believe you guys want to even leave Delta State for the Ijaws, Itsekiris or the Aniomas. Na una suppose dey force the others to cry out for help from FG.

Isoko of 2 local government stretching from Ofagbe to Iyede and Oleh with a population of less than 10000 people, 2 bank branches, no industry.

Urhobo of 4 local government with a population of less than 50000 with Ughelli as the biggest city, skeletal economic activity, army of jobless youth boozing, gambling and cult activities.

Isoko's alone across Nigeria would be over 3 to 6 Million persons. We are mostly found in cities- Warri, PH, and Lagos

I doubt anybody would be able to give a non-biased semi-accurate population of the Isoko nation. Especially with this idea that we occupy only 2 local government areas and so are not many; forgetting that Isokoland is very dense.

Personally, I think the Isokos should assert influence in Delta. Everything no be by size. But it seems we are content with playing second fiddle to all the other major tribes. Aside Otobo, I don't know any resounding Isoko patriarch that has done much for the ethnicity. Even Ogor, the highest ranking Isoko man in Nigeria, is more concerned about Abuja and PDP than Isoko interests.

3 - 6 million?
That's quite a large number capable of being a nation on its own. I mean in Europe, you have nations that are less than a million(Iceland - about 333k, Liechtenstein - less than 40k, Republic of San Marino - about 33k).
