ENZO SCIFO: As an Urhobo man, I cried to everyone within my circle of influence that a man being from your village as a governor or president is not a guaranty that better life has come (especially when they belong to PDP)
Rather let's settle for someone with character.
Well it has happened and all I can say its the 'Fresh Air' we were promised.

Beaf:

Urhobo people have always been highly individualistic, UPU was only so big in the past because of the subjugation of Urhobo land while we were still in the Western Region; it is easy to see thats its decline commenced in the time of Jereton Mariere when we were emancipated as a vibrant part of the Midwest.

The individualism of the Urhobo people is a positive mark that has seen them perform way above ethnic groups of similar size. Count Nigeria's richest today and Urhobo land is over represented; count bank ownership, again the same over-representation. Is it nollywood (Zak Amata etc) you mean to look at or is it JAMB scores or achievements in the legal field (Ovie-Whiskey, Keyamo etc)? Media ownership? What? How many know that Chief Majoroh is the architect behind the Teslim Balogun stadium and other massive projects?

Urhobo people are amongst Nigeria's most vocal, daring and brave as well, another pointer to why they are so successful even though a only tiny minority in Nigeria.

Those people asking vocally for ministerial appointments come across as mere area boys. All the Urhobo person needs is an enabling environment to allow our individualism and daring to thrive.
Quite clearly, those who wrote that appalling letter with its disgraceful display of poor English are barely educated, mentally squalid embarrassments to the Urhobo nation. But our friends here (the ethnically bigotted rabid rabble and yellow-eyed jealous finger pointing outsiders) cannot know that the average Urhobo is highly educated, intelligent and would never put out such low quality literary trash; talkless grovel for handouts.
Anyway, many of our yellow-eyed outsider friends are only used to listening to NURTW and OPC, so its no surprise.

Beaf: All I see on this thread are the usual Yoruba bigots who think they own an inch of Delta state fooling themselves as usual. Some of them are even claiming to be Urhobo.

Pathetic.

stivin:

i think there might be some truth in the Ijaw-Agenda-talk.
recently, i got wind of an Ijaw-only NIMASA recruitment for teenage school leavers into a NIMASA scholarship training where they will emerge as Marine Engineers, Marine architects [i]et al[/i]after which they will be employed to fill the much talked about manpower deficit in the marine sector.
The info on this scholarship admission was being passed from ear to ear through their Communities student groups and associations.
Few months ago, the DG of NIMASA, sited a marine institute in his home state university;NDU.


Infact, I think that oil is the only thing that binds us together as a Nation.
We are actually yet a One-Nation.
It is well.

TheShopKeeper: The 'fishermen' are about to start their revolution, let everyone take cover.

Ileke-IdI:


Whose the COWARD who constantly has Yoruba dancing in his mouth (FINGERS)?

Negro_Ntns:

. . .we brought free education, free health care, introduced mass communication through radio and tv to the populace, introduced equal rights for women to vote. Everyone of these programs was successful and grandfathered into legacies that Nigerians enjoy today from North to South, from West to East.

Now,. . . tell us what action your people have taken that has resulted in successful social progress for the country? You tree-hopping baboon!!

Demdem:

then shame on u idiot. U earlier thought am from ND.

Omen100:

My guy, pls luck dat ur PSP mouth there, who told u a man frm ur village can't transform d village, unless d man na curse, even Ibori, as people say d guy spoil & condemn reach, he was still able to transform his hometown & delta state to some large extent, which I strongly believed, if not all, most deltan's can say yes, Ibori was able to use his office has d governor of delta state to transform my village Oghera. So my guy make u nor dey carry oooo, men dey vex here 4 goodluck, abi jonna & beaf d arse licker

stivin:

shame! shame!!!, because u b itsekiri- Who would always want the Ijaws to remain in the river and be forever unexposed to civilisation and be unable to fight for their right, Shame!!!.The warri crisis gave birth to this vibrant Ijaw Nation we have today. The Urhobos is and will remain the lords and colonial masters of the Ijaws who just came out of the water and as such needed those already on land to provide food and exposure for them.Go to ANY Ijaw community, the urhobos population there could well compete with that of the aborigines. Civilisation came to the Ijaws by the Urhobos.Ask and they will tell you undoubtedly.So Urhobos are Big brothers to The Ijaws, It is only natural for the ijaws not to forget so soon, how they were helped by the urhobos.

onthefence:

Where did I mention that you are from the ND? Because I used your quote? Go and study literature my friend.

onthefence:

When you people where jumping like Monkeys that "our South-South" brother must emerge as President you forgot that it will be "to your tents" I laugh in Nepotism.

Demdem:

Once again u have goofed. i didnt say "u said", i said "u thought" based on this remarks of urs.


why is "sorry, i got it wrong" so difficult for peeps to say. na wa ooo

onthefence:

So I have to apologise for what I "thought". Is my brain not meant to think?

Thinking isnt any issue and i have no problem with that however what u voiced out eventually was wrong and thats where i have issues with.

The Long and short is that I was not referring to you. Only used your quote.

I dont think the above coloured makes sense at all

Da Doctor: Urhobo yawos. Always crying foul. Mostly uneducated and foolizs. Take cue from tsekiris. Then U̶̲̥̅̊ wud be wiser

alj harem:

the same Igbotic ideeiot insulting the Itsekiris the other day is now talking about cue from Itsekiris ?

BTW I thought you said you were Urhobo ?

Truth go come out one day , LOL

Da Doctor:

Little wonder U̶̲̥̅̊ cudnt get a̶̲̥̅ 'D' grade in any course U̶̲̥̅̊ took in school.
Epiletic memory.
Get it clear. ♍Ɣ wife Ȋ̝̊̅§ tsek-yooruba and  am full blooded ibo, though an half cast too.
How den can  abuse d tseks? U̶̲̥̅̊ get prove? Share d link or forever remain dumb. Goosh. U̶̲̥̅̊ av a̶̲̥̅ poor erratic memory alimanjiri. LOL

texazzpete:

Bullcrap. There are other countries in the world apart from the US, you know. There's no such largesse in Russia and China, for example.

The trillions of Naira funneled to the Niger Delta to 'correct the wrongs' over the past decade have largely been eaten by their leaders which the people turn around to adore and worship. See how many Deltans and Bayelsans idolize Ibori and Alams even after massive theft of state resources. Money for development is stolen at all levels in the Niger Delta.

I have a long standing challenge with people on Nairaland from the Niger Delta to point to ONE thing their Local Government chairman has done. Of the billions sent to local governments to carry out grassroot development programmes, virtually 95% of it is stolen without remorse.


Sadly, the educated ones like yourself are far more content spreading the same lazy arguments instead of taking the fight to many of the true oppressors.

Ileke-IdI:


So your wife is Yoruba and you still can't spell it right? Are you waiting for her to educate you? What a village disappointment.

DaLover:

Please where is the evidence to show that ibori and alams are being idolized? Both men where chased by efcc based on the strength of petitions by indigenes of the state....

You deliberately decide to mis inform the public with your poisonous and evil post about 9ja deltans....apart from providing the resources to fund ur education and sustain ur existence, i don't know what we did to deserve this haterade.....
Could it be because we advocate for resources control whereby those who sit on top the oil mine it and pay tax to govt, in stead of a federal govt father Christmas system....
The real reason yorubas are angry at the gej government is they fear they will be asked to contribute to the common wealth....normally this should not be a bad thing......
But here in nigeria...it has lead to attacks on anything 9ja deltan....even to the extent of trying to pick divisions between the groups in the 9ja delta.......
This continues to be be the sad reality of the day....God should save us from the SW and their hypocrisy....amen
