Urhobos Have No Bond With Biafra – Urhobo Union President by Ramsonkayode(m): 11:28am On Jul 29, 2017 |
Olorogun Moses Taiga, the President General of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide has told those drawing maps that include Urhobo in Biafra to stop wasting their time. NAIJ.com gathered that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in its map of states has Urhobo and the entire Delta state. But Taiga explained that Biafra and Urhobo do not even share a common boundary and there is nothing binding the Igbos with them. The business mogul speaking with Vanguard said: “We the Urhobo Nation know we are not even neighbours to some of those people who said we are part of them. “We have the Ijaw to the west, we have the Edo to the north, and we have the Anioma to the northeast, so there is nothing that binds us. “There is no correlation between us, and we also have the natural River Niger that separates us there is, therefore, no case in that. “The issue is does somebody draw an artificial map and say Edo and Delta are part of his own. “The Youngman, Nnamdi Kanu lives in England and makes all sorts of claims. The Southern Leaders Forum said any attack on any party of the South is an attack against the whole South, so we do not intend to select any nation in the whole of the South for special attack. “We are not part of any other kingdom; we are the fourth largest nation in the country, and we’ve not fought hard enough to secure our rightful place, but our job is to try to articulate our position and ensure that we are due for recognition.” NAIJ.com previously reported that the federal government has been called upon to arrest Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) or face mass protest by the Arewa Youth Assembly, AYA, a group from the northern part of the country. According to the group, the IPOB leader has violated his bail conditions and such acts is capable of distabilising the country. In a statement signed by its speaker and made available to Premium Times, Mohammed Salihu and clerk, Desmond Minakaro, AYA gave the acting president Yemi Osinbajo 10 days to order the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu.

My dear Igbo brothers u know it's unfair to include Urhobo in Biafra map without their consent. Ipob has been campaigning everywhere in the east without stating clearly to the Niger-Delta minorities about their accommodation, safety , the Long-term plan and agenda for a prosperous future Biafra Urhobo has been more productive in Yorubaland than in Igboland e.g an Urhobo is a member of the Federal house of representatives in Lagos State, an Urhobo is a Local government chairman in Ekiti State and many more to even continue listing. Those of u that think Urhobos are not the fourth or fifth largest ethnic group in Nigeria should step forward with facts becos Nigeria hasn't enjoyed a credible census since its creation. 1 Like |

The problem I have with the article is the claim that small Urhobo with 1 senatorial district in Delta state is the 4th largest ethnic nation ahead of Ijaws (60% in Rivers, 100% Bayelsa, 40% Delta, and also in Akwa Ibom and Ondo states- undisputed 4th largest with 20million population) and the fifth largest tribe Tiv (Dominant in Benue and also present in Taraba state) N/B I ignore trolls |

TonyeBarcanista: oga What's the population of ijaw in bayelsa? 800,000 in Delta state you guys are minority, less than 500,000 In Rivers less than 400,000 In Ondo and Edo, you guys are not more than 100,000 Add everything together you guys won't be more than 2million , who dash you 20 million, tar. Now in Urhobo our population is over 3million, if you add isoko to it then we should be counting 4-5million.. you think population is about spreading In every state.. behave make you no shop slap o ![]() Happy Sunday. fratermathy and Sanchez01 please help us with accurate figure. modified : did I just hear you say 40% of Delta, are you high?, you think Delta is Rivers. if Ijaw is 40% what about itsekiri?. don't just pull figure out of the thin air. 14 Likes |

It appears that the Urhobo are attention seeking again. This Biafra must be used to highlight Urhobo relevance. I think they might have shot demselves in the foot. It is never a good idea to breed enmity with ur neighbours. 11 Likes |

Out of all the minority groups that have been included in the Biafra discussion, the Urhobo nation have by far, had the most to say on this topic. All of this is based on some map that was created years ago by a group that has changed its position on the matter. When is the last time that MASSOB said that the Urhobo tribe will be included in Biafra? ![]() 11 Likes |
Re: Urhobos Have No Bond With Biafra – Urhobo Union President by fratermathy(m): 2:05pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
Ngozi123: I saw one of the recent interviews in which Nnamdi Kanu said Delta is a part of Biafra. In fact, he went further to precisely mention Isoko as well. When he mentioned Delta, he didn't say "Delta Igbo". He said "Delta State", a state in which Urhobos are the most populous ethnic group. What more proof do we need for forceful inclusion into Biafra? You may not like that fact we have been vocal in our rebuttal but then, no one likes the fact that they are included in a struggle that is not theirs, a struggle built on hate speeches and "overflogged vitriolic". 2 Likes |

hammerF: Nothing brought Fulani into this thread. You asserted that Urhobos are creating enemies of their neighbours, a claim which I find ironic considering that Igbos are making enemies of the entire nation via hate speeches directed at anyone that is not Igbo or in tandem with Igbo agenda. 3 Likes |
