Go and hand it over to Benin then or force Ambode to step down so that a Benin man can become the governor and make a Igbo his deputy because Lagos is a cosmopolitan state as claimed by you. Ode ido oponu afofungbemu ara Galatia didiri n dirobo omo Iran k'iran awon ajokuta ma momi olori pelebe deede.

which part of lagos belongs to yoruba, mad cow

Gazzy88:
Yes Lagos is in southeast. Cosmopolitan state that has been ruled and dominated by Yorubas for decades. Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode are from southeast. You are simply deluded. The wise ones among you lots already thinking home. You better start thinking home and stop being fooled by your elders thinking Lagos is for everybody. Lagos is Yoruba and Yoruba is Lagos. Cosmopolitan ko,metropolitan ni. You claim to hate Nigeria but you want to die in Lagos. Very soon you will flood Ogun state. You're all leeches. Stay back home, no you won't not until you save up to catch the next available bus heading to Southwest. Bunch of ungrateful lots.

you are a fool, lagos is not part of yoruba land,, lagos belongs to benin, i wont argue with your deluded skull again ,stop acting naive

infact

Gazzy88:
Afonja are ugly but you and your generations can't resist from coming to their land to survive. You're mad and nobody is willing to tell you or they told you but you decides to show it openly. Last time I checked, nairaland belongs to an afonja man. What you're still doing here with your fellow chest beaters, I don't understand.

Your proposition in bold concludes the argument.

First, of all I never at any time said that the Anioma originated from Benin exclusively. What I have said is that there is mixed heritage particularly with the Ika both Igbo and Benin.

The issue is not in dispute about origin. But whether in today current definition they are Igbo, you could call them first cousins to the Igbo. But calling them Igbo, I doubt if that will have general acceptance by them.

I know about dialects and the Nsukka dialect is Igbo albeit quite different from the central Igbo dialect. But both in origin and linguistics they are undoubtedly Igbo.

so nsukka dialect which i find difficult to understand is igbo, but ukwuani dialect which is almost the same as onitsha dialect is not igbo to you abi,, bros go and sit down your argument is invalid,, you need to argue base on fact and reality on ground ..btw which primary school did you attend self,i need to flog your head master ,

nna is ther diamond inside the damaged hard disk, one can never tell

We have a lot of Igbo derived names even of small towns and villages. Within Uhrobo land using your rational that means that the Uhrobo are Igbo.

use ur senses, urhobo people dont speak my language,
and read my post up there

komekn:
Just need to correct misinformation.

The Ika have origins with the Benin Kingdom and as such you have a lot of Ika people with Benin names. The Ukwani and Ika languages are dramatically different and would not classed as IGBO in any way. Yes there are Ibo origins but it is not Igbo.

Just like the Itsekeri they have Yoruba origins, indeed in times past OPC has joined them to guide the Uhrobo and Ijaw.

The Ijaw are not in small numbers in Delta state they may not be the majority but they are not small.

Finally, I notice very erroneously that some have equated identity with origin. They are Dramatically different.

Identity is not static it's more dynamic, it evolves, it changes there are multi faceted influences that create it.

For instance the identification of being from Warri transcends ethnic and or tribal origin particularly in contemporary times. That's why AY can describe himself as a " Warri Boy" irrespective of his origins.

The concept of identity can be by adoption or by legal definition and or environmental circumstances. But there willl be a number of irrefutable components to ones identity. Such as oneness, sameness, affinity, similarity, parallelism, these components can create a coming together for shared interest, political and or otherwise.

So let's be clear the Uhrobo, Ijaw, etc have a common interest and share traditional norms and values. Those components create an IDENTITY in the general that we call SS south south.

As to my identity specifically is a matter of choice. But my origin is a matter of fact.

You jump the gun with presumption they are areas with an Igbo heritage and origin. But identity that's a completely different matter.

You should research the underpinning motivation of largely minority tribes coming together under south south. In a society nation that thinks there are only three main tribes.

Finally, Uhrobo have huge Igbo influences infact are more influenced by the Igbo than the Benin in thier origins. That's misinformation.

you are confused at the bolded
go and sleep, ika and ukwuani speaks different dialect, all are diverse igbo dialect, you wont know because you are not igbo,igbo has a lot of different dialect, which is not the central igbo language,,, you will only believe the propaganda you read on paper, you cant teach igbo people which is their language or not, just like i cant teach you which is your language,
all these argurement wont put food on ur table
anybody can claim his ancestors originated from anywhere for whatever reasons best know to him, people are known by their ancestral language and their names, ,
the reality is that ika , ukwuani, aniocha, etc all speak different igbo dialects
and their names are igbo,
ibo has a lot of sub groups within south east and south south zone each with a unique dialect
Subgroups
Anioma · Agbo · Aro · Edda · Ekpeye
Etche · Ezza · Ika · Ikwerre · Ikwo
Ishielu · Izzi · Mbaise · Mgbo · Ngwa
Nkalu · Nri-Igbo · Ogba · Ohafia
Ohuhu · Omuma · Onitsha
Oratta · Ubani · Ukwuani

let everyone respect his fathers name
case closed

forgiveness:
It is an acronym derived from the four original local government areas that make up Anioma, i.e., (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika and (O) for Oshimili, M and A being common denominators found in the original four local government areas. The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay, in 1951 and has remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves.

Learn please. Chief Dennis Osadebay ( Edo man) coined the name ANIOMA from the original four local government.

Their was nothing like Anioma tribe before 1951 neither has Delta state ever being part of Igbo land nor Eastern Region. It was either under the Western region and later Benin but all that is inconsequential if they decide to tilt towards any tribe or region.

anioma is not a tribe, weather its an acronym to you or not it remains igbo world, anioma means goodland ask delta igbos the meaning of anioma , oshimili means sea or river in igbo ,, anioma people are Western Igbo more or less extension of onitsha part of igbo land separated by the river

ani means land in igbo language
anioma --good land
aniocha---whiteland
enuani---upland
ukwuani--lowland

Dennis Chukude Osadebay is a delta man
Just look at the Delta State ethnic map.

And look at the core Delta Igbo areas: Ika, Aniocha, and Ukwuani

Bini Influenced people: Urhobo and Isoko

Yoruba influenced people: Itsekiri

& finally the Ijaw who are mostly confined to Bayelsa, but are found in some numbers in small areas of Rivers and Delta State.
use your sense dont let sentiment kill you

forgiveness:
First of all, a nation is a nation if he call itself a nation.

Therefore, if any tribe call themselves whatever in a larger proportion, so they are, though we can have at the back of our mind their true origin for academic purposes only.


This brings me to agree with you after many encounters with ikwerre, kwale and ika that they are not Igbo because they wish not to be called so but rather see themselves as Ikwerre nation, kwale nation, Igala nation Edo nation etc. I don't know about Ogoni.

That can also be said of Itshekiri who don't see themselves as Yoruba but as Itshekiri nation though their monarch and political leaders have associated and formed a coalition with the Afenifere and other Yoruba whatever.

Let me also draw your attention to Anioma people of Delta state. It is not a tribe, it's a composition of different Tribes coming under one umbrella Anioma.

Some Benin, some Igbo, some Isoko, some Igala and to your amazement Yoruba made the composition that formed Anioma for political reasons. Yes! Yoruba. This group is called Olukumi people. They are located in the Aniocha North local government and belongs to the Odiani clan which occupies 8 communities in Aniomaland. But have adopted Igbo culture in terms of kingship, names, etcetera except its Olukumi language.

Someone like Nduka Ugbade is an Olukumi indigen though he bares Igbo name.

However, how they see themselves now matters.

u are not making sense, anioma are name given to igbo speaking tribes of delta state, anybody can claim that his grand father originated from anywhere, thats his own cup of tea. what we know is anioma is igbo speaking part of delta state, just like we have igbo speaking people of south east
ani means land igbo
anioma --good land
aniocha---whiteland
anuani---upland
ukwuani--lowland

also,, ikwerre people are one of other igbo speaking groups of rivers state,,

you gave example of Nduka Ugbade.. or whatever you call it,,,my causines name is funke and she is igbo,she answers yoruba name too because her mum is from yoruba

thats the only thing afonjas are good at, envy and stealing
see his kro kro bleaching leg
