IGBOSON1:
Post of the day!

They’re so far gone in their Stockholm syndrome that they don’t know a opportunity when they see one! I think their major problem is that the people that could reason and lead the charge for them are all wrapped up in their own selfish preoccupations....looking for the next political opportunity; next amnesty money; next NDDC contract/employment; or next opportunity for engagement as a party thug! They’re their own worst enemy!

We are made up of minority tribes that's why, we have our internal issues with each other even before oil urhobo vs itsekiri vs ijaw vs ikwerre. And we can't seem to work together as a group and our voices aren't loud enough as a smaller unit. The minority curse
If Niger delta was ethnically homogeneous, we wouldn't have tolerated this ill fated union called Nigeria. If crude oil was situated in SE/Sw the story would have been different not because you are better but because you are larger, homogeneous and a single unit

fratermathy:
The Isoko spoken in Iyede, Olomoro and even Ozoro are easily understood by most Urhobo. Isoko tends to get a bit tougher in places like Enwhe, Erhowa, Aviara and others in the deep Isoko South.

Erowha is another language on its own. If you can't understand Uwherun and evreni, I doubt you can understand any isoko. Enwhe is by far the closest isoko dialect to urhobo, they use yare (not nyare) instead of nyanze for come. Are you sure you can understand olomoro ?

fratermathy:
Abraka speaks a simplified or reduced version of central Urhobo so it isn't hard to grasp. The problematic Urhobo dialects are Okpe, Ujevwin, Uwherun, Evwreni and Uvwie. Isoko, though considered a sister language to Urhobo, is even easier to understand than Okpe.

They are by the easiest for isoko people to understand, it's virtually isoko sef just with a little pronunciation difference. They were once part of the old eastern urhobo now isoko

slivertongue:
ain't it same as Urhrobo

There is an overlap sometimes

Satoshi2019:
Help me with d meaning of Oghenemine

Finally

I took time out to compile this yesterday only to be served with a ban. I wasn't going to let my efforts be in vain tho. Nairaland has seriously regressed over the years, why was I served a ban for Posting in an African language in culture section. Men seun you have to work on your antispam bots and seriously upgrade Nairaland, it has seriously regressed over the years

Gather here if there is no doubt in your mind that this country is a zoo

To you Yoruba people especially Yoruba Muslims anybody not hausa is omo igbo, maybe you mistook them for omo Igbo. Mumu

Are we sure that carbon dating isn't wrong here? Because the design and symmetrical (not sure if it's the right word) perfection is way too advanced for a 1000+ years old precolonial African society.

Liliantalks:
ohh anu gwom , ur father and mother ra pu era , ewu

Who else noticed that this is "Google translate" Igbo?

Liliantalks:
i don’t want argument but I will not let u compare the urhobos with the aniomas and watch . Nope not happening , how will u ask a question like what aniomas has added to delta . What’s delta without the aniomas ,, apart from oil which we aniomas also hv what can u guys really boost of , don’t ever cm to me with that “urhobos are this then say let there be peace . “ we r wiser than that . If u want to end it , then end it . No comparisons .

Stop ranting jare, it's not my fault that you failed to comprehend what I said. When I used "y'all" in my initial post, I refered to both efe and nwanyiogwashi even though I quoted, efe already quoted my comment saying he wants trying to compare but you don't seem to have the capability of comprehension

And yes how has the likes of ibru and osadebe and kachikwu bettered the lives of ordinary Deltans in Delta State, so why do we have to brag about them?

Liliantalks:
smh , I am trying to create peace , but I guess u urhobos r enjoying this ,, let me tell you this, urhobos cant not measure with the Anioma in achievements , they just can’t , The urhobos r only loud , we don’t like fight so we left politics for u all to fight among urselves. We don’t hv to make noise for our relevance to be noticed . Imagine adding Agofures name in anything, laughable.

Can you at least read the comment of the person you quoted again, this time slowly please. I'm trying to Foster peace in this thread, so I don't really get you, today you say Anioma and urhobo ethnic nationalities are friends tomorrow you say don't come close. Please be on one side

I'm not urhobo for the records

Nwanyiogwashi:
