A Niger Deltan is anyone from Edo, Delta, Cross River, Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom. There's been a debate by some land grabbing and mischievous people across the Niger on who's really a Niger Deltan. It would interest every to know that the 70% of what is today referred to as the Niger Delta was under the Benin Empire. The Benin Empire being the 7th greatest African empire of medieval times stretched as far as parts of Bayelsa (Epie-Atissa, Engenni), parts of Rivers (Degema, Ahoada, Ogba), parts of Delta (Isoko, Okpe, Uvwie, Eruwa and most of what is referred to as Urhobo-land,Itsekiri-land and Anioma-land), parts of Ondo (Akoko, Iyayu, Uhami), Lagos and as far as Ekiti and present day West African countries like Benin Republic and Togo.

This bring me to IPOB and their usual rants. Who are the Igbos and how did the igbos become an ethnic group. The igbos were more or less a scattered group and we're united by the British. Mind you the igbos never had a Central government or any form of authority unlike the Binis and the igbos were never descendants of the Jews or Israelites like Nnamdi Kanu and his fellow IPOB are busy formulating. The real Jews are the Ethiopian Jews (Abyssinians) who were the first African country to practice Christianity as early as the 16th century.

Please my fellow igbo brothers I don't hate you but let's learn to tell the truth and shun propaganda. Biafra land starts from Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. Even the Aniomas still pay homage to the Oba of Benin.

A Niger-Deltan is someone who comes majorly from the geographical region where the River Niger empties itself into the Atlantic Ocean. The roots of the River Niger can be found in three states which includes: Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers States.

Names of the Niger Tributaries includes: Rivers Benin, Escravos, Forcados, Ramos, Dodo, Pennington, Digatoro, Bengatora, Kulama, Fishtown, Sangara, Nun, Brass, St Nicholas, St Barbara, St Bartholomew, Orashi, Bonny, New Calabar, Andoni and Imo.

In year 2000, Obasanjo politically included the States of Ondo, Edo, Abia, Imo, Akwa Ibom and Cross river states as part of Niger Delta states.

Ethiopian here

Let me correct you, Ethiopia didn't adopted Christianity in the 16th century, but in the mid 4th century AD. There was still Christians in Ethiopia and Eritrea in the 1st century AD, but Christianity became official in the mid 4th century AD after Axumite King Ezana converted to Christianity.

Ethiopia is the 2nd nation in the world to adopt Christianity after Armenia.

Ethiopian Jews are called Bete Israeli or Falashas. They are different from Abyssinians. They now majority live in Israel. Few of them also live in USA and northern Ethiopia.

Abyssinians aren't Jews. They are Amharas and Tigrays(both are predominantly Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christians).

It would interest every to know that the 70% of what is today referred to as the Niger Delta was under the Benin Empire. The Benin Empire being the 7th greatest African empire of medieval times stretched as far as parts of Bayelsa (Epie-Atissa, Engenni), parts of Rivers (Degema, Ahoada, Ogba), parts of Delta (Isoko, Okpe, Uvwie, Eruwa and most of what is referred to as Urhobo-land,Itsekiri-land and Anioma-land), parts of Ondo (Akoko, Iyayu, Uhami), Lagos and as far as Ekiti and present day West African countries like Benin Republic and Togo.

So in essence, the Bini are the real land grabbers who tried to subjugate neighbouring groups in the past.
Funny enough, you seem to be proud of this subjugation.

Been great. You?

It is an inconsequential phrase. Nobody with a thinking cap on his/her head will arrogate such nonsensical idiocy to him/herself.
