You guys are irritating, have u ever seen a Yoruba man deny his identity?
We can count the number of igbos on twitter who go by Yoruba names but how many Yoruba people have u ever seen masquerading as igbos

Those guys are deltan but u keep calling them Yorubas....dude, we dont even care about u, face your fight with SS and leavae us out...why force a false Identity on them, thats not bright
u see these many of these easterners/ Igbo's are very shallow and irritating. To then, anywhere their tribes settle in large numbers, should be seen and accepted that it naturally belongs to their tribe. Am happy Gowon divided southern region off from the zone, b4 d war. Igbo- speaking tribes of delta state are in the northern senatorial district of which the largest are the ika and ishimilis, and the asaba. Asaba people are from Igala tribe in kogi. The Ika people, and urhobos are frockrm Benin, but these irredentist are desperate for Igbo state b4 the Niger, using this to further push for Biafra , hence using all tactics to call them Igbo people. They even tried to push some Deltans to create anioma state out of this senatorial district with future intention of claiming it as Igbo state, which by extension, becomes Biafra zone. it was blocked immediately.insecurity in east has made them run to the peaceful south, devoid of Biafra nuisance. now they want to force us to accept being Igbo's. some even attempted calling asaba a no mans land. No other tribe can say such in the east

Stop making a fool of your self with this talk of Asaba being from Igala. Igala people would not come from their land to settle in present day Asaba just to call the 5 main areas that make up Asaba Igbo names:

Umuaji

Umuagu

Umuonaje

Ezenei

Isieke

Igala people would not call it 'Ahaba', the original name before Europeans called it Asaba. Nobody migrates to a new place to start giving it names in a different language he does not speak. Asaba has always been 100% an Igbo city and no Asaba man has ever denied that right up to the king of Asaba, Obi Chike Edozien

As for Ika coming from Edo, thats their business but what is incredible is that Ika land that is just few minutes drive from Edo land but shares nothing in common with Edo, where some claim they come from. Ika speak Igbo, their marriage rites are Igbo, they dont worship the same traditional Gods as Edo and their Market days are same as Igbo market days. The only thing Ika has in common with Edo is the borrowed kingship

If Nigeria breaks up one day, which it likely will, who do you think these people will go with? Those they have nothing in common with or those they speak the same language with and have a lot in common with?

for the same reason that an igbo man from east can't just come to delta state and apportion identity to them. Asaba isn't and will never be igbo land or Igbo city. asaba is from Igala, union between prince onichobo from Igala,and Diaba from njete, Anambra. If any tribe is supposed to lay claim to asaba, is Igala, and not Igbo. u devise every means to make others abandon their identity and force down yours on them. Igbo can never ever lay claim to an inch of southern Nigeria, just as other tribes can't do same in Igbo land. No a square inch of eastern Nigeria, belongs to Igbo's, stop deceiving yourselves, and get ready for work. today in your east is a,work day, not a sit at home day as imposed by criminals on educated people

If you have not been in Asaba for the last 3 Years you may find it difficult navigating the City when you visit. The rate at which Asaba is developing is highly unpredictable. What Could be the reason for this high rate of development rocking Asaba?

Really? Asaba whose drainages are all blocked with plastic bottles and debris? Asaba where there is no town planning; most of the streets are closes with dead ends? Asaba the capital of Keke Napep, more Keke than cars on the roads, no taxis or commercial busese? What is development without transport infrastructure?

I think Asaba must be rated among the fastest growing state capitals in Nigeria. Okowa has played his role with the state capital development under Mrakpor. Infrastructures are wonderful and working.

The area from Shoprite and Okpanam city gate is unbelievable. The roads are well made and drainages are properly made to complement. Infact you feel very safe and you feel like you are living in an estate in Asaba. Okowa seriously improved on what he met on ground in Asaba. For those who claim that Okowa did not work, please visit Asaba. My sincere hope is that BEDC will do the necessary job of improving electricity in Delta state.

Development comes when the necessary structures are in place. Asaba used to be like a small area before 1999 with cheap lands, but it has opened it up completely. Prominent is the airport. Deltans and Anambrarians use the airport.

The development of Asaba opened up neighboring areas like Isele Azagba, Isele Uku, Igbuzor, Ogwashi uku and now Oko Amakom, Anala, because also of the second Niger bridge.

Migration from the other side of the bridge did not just start in the recent years. Far from it. Igbos move around and they contribute to growth. Delta north is an Igbo area. Before now Igbos from across the Niger had their presence, trading as usual. They purchased lands when they were much cheaper and built. The expansion of Onitsha spilled into neighbouring areas in Idemmili, Okoti, Odiekpe and the rest of Anambra state. Properties became very expensive and people moved.

The recent development with IPOB sped up the migration across, with people needing secure areas to live and trade. Now the multiplier effect is found not only in Asaba, but in Agbor, Warri, Ughelli, etc.

There are property companies all over Delta state contributing to the development, with cheaper lands and security. There is a rush for the lands and all those areas daily open up.

Hopefully Deltans who have not been to their state in the recent years, or have never, can visit. I assure you that you WILL choose to live there.

Are u sure u really know Asaba? The drainages are all blocked with plastic bottles and debris, the streets are closed, not well planned, houses built right in the center of streets. The new of transportation is overwhelmingly Keke, like five Keke to one car, there are no taxis or buses for transportation, what kind of development is that?

How old are you?
Where you born after 1999? Ask anyone born before 1999 how Asaba looked like before you talk about Asaba. I own properties in Delta state.
Blocked drainages are found nationwide.
The houses that you find right in the center of streets, are not on highways, are they? They are family houses and mostly built since the 1940s, 50s, etc. Government skillfully built roads around them. Are the roads not decent enough?
Keke is the order of the day in the entire nation. Do you expect everyone to put their cars on the road everyday? Aside from Ogbogonogo and Midwifery market, where else do you find light traffic in Asaba? You wake up and can keep you appointments at the right time.
So all those buses that you find everywhere are meant for decoration to you? And to you there are no taxis? Na money you no get to go out abeg.

Hear him saying he has properties in Asaba u would think he is a Donald Trump. That u have a bungalow in Okpanam doesn't make u know Asaba more than many of us. I came to Asaba in 2007, have three properties in d town, and know it like d back of my palm. Drive down Okpanam road and enter any of the streets apart from those to d right between Shop rite and Macdons, no street after that is planned, people just built as d spirit directed them. Back of Stadium, DLA and Jesus Saves are all unplanned, u hardly find a road that's straight and leads to another road. Majority of d streets twist and are dead ends and govt has never had d courage to remove properties built on d right of way. When govt constructs streets in Asaba and meets a house blocking d street, they never have d courage to pull it down, they twist round d house. Asaba has zero town planning, don't lie to those who don't live here. As for clogged gutters, thank God u didn't deny it. Regarding Keke town and non availability of taxis and buses, it's obvious u have never visited other cities. U are comparing Asaba with Onitisha am sure. Take a ride to PH or Benin, from GRA to Ring Road to Ekenwan road to Ugbowo back to Ramat Park and even third thru Upper sakponba junction, u won't see a single Keke Napep or bike, it's buses and taxis. The area I mentioned is like three times the size of d entire Asaba. In Benin u find Keke only in d outskirts. Stop glorifying mediocrity, Asaba is a grossly underperforming city. What's going well for Asaba is that it's crime free and d night life is beautiful but the city is defaced by poor town planning, clogged gutters and Keke infestation. It's people like u that give Delta governors d impression that they are doing well and excuse them to borrow and borrow without benefits in infrastructure.

You're asking why we're bothered about the sit at home and the crisis it brought to the SE? Are you blind or are you just playing dumb with that question? The crisis that followed the forced sit-at-home nonsense brought a lot of insecurity, economic and social damage to the south east; even the young, the blind and the mentally impaired could see and discern that... but you claim you don't understand why that should bother someone?

And then what about the crisis in Zamfara? So if there's a crisis in Zamfara, does that make it right for there to be a crisis in the SE? Are you trying to justify murder and insecurity on the excuse that "there is also insecurity in the north"?... If that's the case, then this line of reasoning has to take the Guinness World Record as the most stupid logic ever to be aired by living humans...

I am from the south east and it's my business what happens in the SE. As a Nigerian, it's also my business what happens in any part of Nigeria... And lastly as a human, it's also my business what happens in any part of the world. This explains why I can sit in my house and talk about what happens in Ukraine or Syria or Sudan... It's utter stupidity for anyone to tell me or imply directly or indirectly that I have no right to discuss or be worried about what's happening in Ukraine because I'm not from Ukraine.

And this is supposed to be a justification for the crisis? .. So because there's crisis in other parts of Nigeria, so therefore it's okay for the SE to also be in crisis?...

If you choose to be worried about only insecurity in the north or in Afghanistan or in Syria, but not about the insecurity at you doormouth because of some misguided sentiments, that is your business not mine....
