EternalTruth:
during restructuring Edo state would be removed from the South South and wont be a Niger Delta state anymore and would be zoned to the North or South West.
Edo state is no longer part of us, they have pledged loyalty to the North. They would be dealt with and kicked out
Cc Adafonju preyeijo Afriifa Nengibo see this edo criminal that would betray our fellows southerners

Na Afonja dem be, they migrated from Ile ife to Niger delta so the sabotaging bad belle blood still dey their veins

Warship:
Falae was given a #100 million to campaign in the West but he pocketed it not knowing that his foolishness will allow a jihadist to be enthroned to his destruction.

Yorubas think the Fulani man is liberal like them, they will burn Nigeria to achieve their agenda without given it a 2nd though, they will learn when the entire west becomes an Emirate like Kwara state

What of witch craft meetings? Bini pipo too like winch

Abo ki will always think like an Abo ki, I blame the middlebelt people for not associating with the south, I thank God Yoruba people like Falae are also reaping the benefit of Fulani association.

Lomprico2:
No! its d capital of sambisa!

You are comparing a Lagos state to Rivers Capital city, the kind of people that comment on nairaland eh

[quote author=AreaFada2 post=63980709][/quote]Be here talking rubbish wen your governor is on his knees

Themandator:
I like how this is worded. Straight and brutal.... If you don't like it do your worse. No time to be diplomatic...in some quarters.... Mention the damn name and let heaven fall...Oba of Benin

God bless you, you are a man of truth

Jesse01:
it such a pity where are d Edo warriors y can't dey fight d Fulani herdsmen, if is ijaw den go get power AdaFonju come and see oooo Fulani herdsmen are already dealings wit d Edo's people

Where are the edo e warriors when you need them, Fulani want to take over your kingdom, even after your oba went to Abuja to beg their son Buhari for mercy, come and insult them here on nairaland and be cowards in real life

IamaNigerianGuy:
We are too small to challenge fishermen ? Lol

Let me ask you a question: If a day-laborer challenges a bank director to a fight on the streets of Lagos, do you think the director will be smart to decline ?

No the director will protest under the hot sun of street and cry on nairaland without going anywhere near the bank he claims to lead, and in the end beg the day laborer for peace to survive from extinction

[quote author=IamaNigerianGuy post=63977917][/quote]I thought you lots will hide your face in shame but you are still ranting on nairaland, your governor is begging for peace and you a nonentity still they sharp your mouth, shameless beings, we have proven to be ready on any way you want it, Politically, spiritually and otherwise, una too small to challenge Izon otu

Afriifa:
statistically the Ijaws occupies only the Niger Delta

Ijaws can be found outside Nigeria as far as sierra leone, there were even Ijaw speaking people of the carribean who might have gotten there during the slave trade

Datazone:
This daughter of a fisherman is here again. Politics in Delta (Nigeria at large) is divide and rule. The Ijaws, Itsekiri and Isoko in Delta South are into divide and rule - whilst Itsekiri has been the governor and claimed chairmanship in Warri LGA, the Ijaws were agreed to come in for house of rep. So, shut up, we are more than Delta Ijaws.


Here's an Urhobo website which corroborate the fact that Ijaws are inflating figures and Itsekiris are more than all tribes in Warri.


Excerpt .."Here are the official 1963 population census figures and the ethnic distribution pattern for Warri Division (now the 3 Warri Local Government areas.)

Ethnic group Population % of Total

I. Itsekiri 92,711 64%

II. Ijaw in 3 enclaves 20,702 14%

III. Urhobo of Agbassa 2,000 1.4%

IV. Urhobo of Idimi Sobo of Okere 480 0.3%

V Others – Urhobo, Edo, Hausa,Ibo 29,167 20%

Total 145,060 100%"

Why has he not excluded the huge figures for Egbeoma Ijaw (about 1/3 ) nullified by the Abuja Census Tribunal in 1991 in his computation of the Ijaw figures? Why has he overlooked all Government figures from 1975 to 1990? "

Read the full story from the website of a 3rd party (Urhobo) so you won't say they are the machinations of Itsekiri

so you won't say they are the machinations of itsekiri

Answering you is a waste of brain cells

cyrilamx:
Oga, u have to dispute the Oba of Ogba own words and not this ur puerile rant.

You are deceiving yourself Ogba people came from bini but dont bear bini name atleast surname should remain, or their towns names should atleast show such relationship, the culture should represent such link, the so called benin empire is obviously a fraud and if not why are the so called tribes you beget speaking Igboid , yoruboid or entirely different languages altogether

cyrilamx:
Plz don't be too blinded with bigotry. The itshekiri monarchy is from where? The title Ogiamien, Ologbotsere are from where? Don't be too hasty to advertise your ignorance in public forum.

What of the title nana and olu, and the language and culture, the came from bini too, don't be blinded by illiteracy and tales by moonlight
