Ogboru just casted his vote at his polling Unit in Delta state

olisaEze:
Brar nor b lie! If dem catch dis man for Ekpan rite now, beating will b d least of his worries. Uvwie is currently on joyless mode!

Baba for Uvwie, na to coordinate your self o.. if you talk anyhow, na correct beating you go collect.

Politicians have armed these youths, and they are ready to do anything just for penny.

21Bandit:
Brah I greet you
Na normal level oo
The town don change over night o.
Who carry talk go see anyhow o

Na just dey one side onto tomorrow laki o
Cause who carry vote anyhow nor go sleep house o.

Everywhere don cast, I Don even move Tay Tay, who talk anyhow, na him sabi, some uchins for here when never ever step foot for area go still they follow person yarn optata, instead of them to adhere to my advice.

I doubt this man lives in Warri, with the Political war going on in several part of the city, this man dare drag this little angel into this? Pitiful I must say.

What do you think will happen if Pro APC thugs in his neighborhood come across this video?, wisdom they say, is profitable to direct.

If you are living in Warri and environs, please I beg you in the name of God, don't insult any politician, please and please, so many people have died in the past few weeks, you might not even know who's who around your vacinity.

Meaning dt belief doesn't wrk anymore? Though I no believe d tin sef

Lol.. cant say for now, but I have heard so many stories of how the spirit of the land messed up cheating women in the past, thou I haven't experienced it, but as a traditional man, I so much believe in it.

If you are an Urhobo man, it's better you warn your woman about this, to avoid stories that "touch".

olaife80:
She cheat her husband die! Which kind awkward talk is this. So someone will die of her promiscuity? You all should stop all these fables its irritating.. haha..

Doesn't necessarily mean the husband will die, but something bad might happen to that home. That's the culture and traditions here and besides they no longer do the right thing again, when marrying an Urhobo lady, the man is expected to perform some stuffs but 90% always omit this, citing some silly excuses, like I'm a Christian, bla bla bla

GreatResearcher:
I'm about getting married to a Delta girl in few months time.
So I made my research concerning Deltans, their cultures, marriage traditions etc.

During my research I discovered:

1. When a Detlan wife dies, she is not buried in her husband's place. She is buried in her father's place.


2. When a Deltan wife cheats on her husband, her husband's businesses fall.


Pls I need to know more about this tribe. Someone here help me plss..

Marrying from Delta state is the best choice one can ever make in his life, before I start, I would love to remind you that Delta state is Multi ethnic, with different ethnic groups occupying the state, but shares so many similarities, most especially Between the Urhobos/Isokos and their Itsekiri & Ijo brothers.

In Urhobo land, when you marry our daughter, it is believed we aren't selling her out, Our birth price isn't more than #120, so if anything happens to her, you are expected to bring her back home and explain to us when and how she died.

We don't joke with infidelity in our land, once a Woman cheats, There's high probability that either her child or her husband will die, Our ladies are aware of this, so infidelity within our ladies is very very low.

Our women are also very hardworking, hardly do that rely on any man for money, they can work even better than some men, they are the real definition of a Black woman.

Pay him if you have the money, sometimes we should just learn to avoid troubles.

Obio has developed more than ph.most of the areas we refer to as ph are actually in obalga.where is oboro and emerhor from

Olorugun Otega is from Ughelli while Oboro is from Uvwie, she is the one facing Omo-agege at the polls, I kinda like her courage thou, she will be the first female Urhobo politician to contest for that position. She is smart I must say.

Her major strong hold is Uvwie, OKPE and Ethiope west.

nameo:
Yes, Buhari is Hated across Delta State.

You are as funny as that other chap who says that Buhari will win some LGAs in Abia

The battle with Ogboru and Co is the Gov elections which they will very likely loss

Delta is NOT in play in the Presidential elections. And this is not even a debate.

you are the funny one here, I never said Buhari will even win Delta state to start with, I just stated some hard facts that he is likely to clear some LGA. Are you even from Delta State?, what do you know about the state?, when last did you visit the state? I don't want to start a debate with someone from Osun or Alaba, I have some PDP hardcore brothers from Delta state on this forum and we just argue constructively, Jasonscolari is a PDP man from Delta state but he won't even write off the possibilities of Ogboru giving PDP some tough time like you just did.

Let me even burst your head a little, 2015 elections is very different from this one, In 2015 everyone campaigned for GEJ, even Ogboru who wasn't a PDP card carrying member campaigned for GEJ, in 2015 the only person supporting APC was O'Tega, even Omoagege wasn't a member of APC then, Also put in mind that GEJ was considered a son of the soil, now fast forward to 2019, APC is deeply rooted in Delta state, with heavy weight politicians decamping to the Party, and let me even remind you that Delta state is a multi Ethnic state, each group with their different interests. The itsekiri's are heavily campaigning for APC not because of anything but because they feel it's their turn to produce the next senator, while the Ijaws are sticking with PDP because their interests are more protected in the party.

if you want to counter someone, make sure you know a lot about the place.

senatordave1:
Okay,i understand uvwie is just like obio akpor in rivers.

Yep, but I don't know much about Rivers, so I have no clue about Obio Akpor or how developed it is

to your earlier question, Ibori is from Ethiope West, Omo-Agege is from Ughelli North while Ogboru is from Ethiope East and Ndokwa.

nameo:
So you are saying that Ughelli of all places will vote Buhari cos of Omo Agege?

Do you understand how much be is hated in those areas?

Please bookmark this comment. I will quote you on Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks

Hated?, I don't really think so. like I stated earlier, people will vote base on sentiments, if you have been to any of the areas I mentioned, you will understand better.

senatordave1:
I thought warri south and oshimili north are the most developed? Which lgas do ogboru,oboro agege and ibori from

Uvwie is the most developed and most populated LGA in Delta state, they host all major industries, Factories, Tertiary institutions, Oil companies in the Delta state and Nigeria, it has many of Warri's finest exotic hotels for relaxation. The LGA is 100% urban.

Oshimili is not that developed, can't even boast of 60% urbanization, Warri south is still enjoying her past glory.

Modified: Ibori is from Ethiope West, Omo-Agege is from Ughelli North while Ogboru is from Ethiope East and Ndokwa.

nameo:
Are you saying that Ughelli or ethiope east will vote Buhari?

Please I need clarification

The areas I mentioned have some top Politicians who are pro Buhari, and they will do anything possible to deliver their ward to APC, Ogboru is from Ethiope East while Agege is from Ughelli North.

Atiku will likely clear Ehtiope west, Ibori factor.

senatordave1:
Seems you are in ekpan or aladja.by the way,your line of thought is similar to mine.buhari may not be loved in the ss,se but the fielding of popular candidates by apc will surely rub off on buhari just like it happened in 2015 in the north.

Can't really disclose my location, but everywhere seems very hot for now, In Uvwie, several people have been killed in the past several days, APC will likely clear ethiope East, Ughelli, Udu with little resistance, but will face tough resistance in Uvwie (The most populated LGA and most developed LGA in the state, and also a PDP stronghold until recently).

The crisis in Aladja has no bearing with Politics, it's a communal clash, my major concern is the gubernatorial election.

In some part of Warri, people are busy running for their dear lives, APC/PDP thugs everywhere, you dare not insult Buhari in some APC stronghold in the City.

APC really penetrated Delta central and South, who could've imagined that APC will be a major force to reckon with in these Areas, my concern right now is level of theft going on, these guys at firing each other, they start looting.

Buhari is not much loved thou, (compare to the likes of Ogboru, agege etc), but because of alliances, men working for APC at the grassroot level, sentiments, Interest, etc he will perform very well in Delta south and central.

JasonScolari please take down some of your comments.. this is a public forum, everywhere is still hot.. noticed I'm also avoiding some sensitive topics, especially when it relates to Uvwie.

my greetings bro.

OAM4J , Mynd44 this post might be helpful to some online users.

NothingDoMe:
Some parts of Effurun on 6am to 6pm curfew. Inquire before moving around.

Yes I'm aware of that, it's because of last week clash...

If you reside in Warri and environs, please adhere to these following tips.

1. Do not Insult any Political Party: For the past few weeks, APC and PDP thugs have been terrorising some parts of the city, before you insult any political party, make sure you know where you are, because some parts are PDP's stronghold while some parts are APC's stronghold, insulting any APC or PDP candidates in such places will be very risky. Let your Insults end online.

2. Do not Wear any Cap or Shirt belonging to Any party: If you have any cloths that belong to any party, avoid wearing them for now, you might just stroll into an opposition stronghold, "boys for street no get joy, na to corner you get am".

3. After casting your votes, Go home: After casting your votes, please don't hang around, go straight home, I'm scared of how Saturday's elections going to look like in some parts of the city.

4. Inquire before going Out: Curfew is being imposed in some parts of the city (Like Efurrun), to avoid being embarrassed by our security forces, don't keep late night movements.

5. Stay Updated!

God bless us all
God bless Warri
God bless Nigeria.

[b]If you are going to dispute anything and talk trash, show us the wonderful places and pictures from Delta state, show us what they did with N241 billion debt, allocations, derivations and IGR.

Do that of just shut up.

This comparison is purely BS, you picked some random pics of some places in Delta state while comparing with the best places in Kano.

I would have responded to this thread but I have no time for this, no northern states can be compared to Delta state, not even Kano or Kano, even in your SW, the only state that beats Delta is Lagos, Ogun and Oyo are no match.

Aside infrastructure, the standard of living in Delta state can never be compared to that of Kano, even thou the state is caused with Bad leaders (Which is not even limited to Delta state alone), Kano is no match to the oil rich state.

Delta state is highly Urbanized, same can't be said about Kano, from Warri to Sapele to Ughelle to Asaba are well developed.

LucanBeeB:
LOL the Midwest was never neutral, forget that revisionist nonsense the Nigerian distorted history sold to you. The Federal government was in control of the Midwest at the time, and that made it enemy territory by all standards of military doctrine, and was fair game if invaded. Yes the military governor of the Midwest might have declared the neutrality of his region in the escalation of hostility, but Federal troops from the Lagos garrison in Dodan barracks were still stationed in the Midwest and definitely patrolled the region, though not in full strength. I stand among many rational Igbos that condemned the acts of atrocities committed by the Biafran troops (even though the accounts of such were haphazard and exaggerated), at least compared to the ones committed by the Federal side in the wake of the 2 infantry div counterattack under Murtala which even the international observers witnessed and reported in full glaring details... yet I won't exonerate the Biafran side from any of its disenfranchising acts on the people of the Midwest region. But to recap and conclude my point, the Midwest was never neutral in that war, in principle and theory yes... but every facts of practicality (factors like the presence of Nigerian troops using the Escravos ports in Warri and the likes to secretly patrol several miles of the River Niger, the garrison of Nigerian soldiers stationed in Benin, the tacit support of the Midwest to the Federal side, the ethnic complexity of the region with some supporting Biafra and the rest Nigeria , and the inevitability of an invasion to relieve the federal pressure on our Northern sectors), gave rise Biafran troops crossing the bridge on August 9, '67...The invasion was fair game given the circumstances at hand.

Also note that the prize wasn't even the Midwest, it was Lagos which was the Rubicon, Lagos was the pressure point as it was symbolically the bastion of the Nigerian military, more like Aso rock or the White House of its kind. And to get to Lagos in the quickest possible way, Biafran troops had to go through the Midwest which was the means to an end... at least it made geographical sense that way.

Sorry sir, I still stand to be corrected, the Midwest was neutral, Until the invasion, how do you define neutrality?

Did Midwest support any Nigerian offensive prior to the invasion?

Isn't the Midwest part of Nigeria, so how can some Nigerian military bases in the region translate to the region supporting the Federal Government?, if there was enough Federal presence in Midwest, how come the Biafran troops overran the region easily?

Ejoor was tied, he couldn't risk his region turned into a battle ground, for a struggle his people weren't aware of, so his best bet was to stay neutral and watch as things play out.

LucanBeeB:
How was the invasion of the Midwest a miscalculation by Ojukwu? Maybe from a political aspect, the argument would be plausible considering the fact that the Midwest was a buffer/neutral region (presumably at least). But from a tactical perspective, the invasion was a necessity, and if it was better planned and executed(this was where Ojukwu really messed up by putting the command of the Midwest theatre in the hands of officers with questionable loyalty, competence, and ideological leanings) ... it would have been a significant turning point in the early stages of the war. The Federal troops attacked Biafra and were mounting pressure on its Northern axis in the Ogoja axis, Enugu the new republics' capital was only some distance away and was now a target for the Nigerian soldiers... so something spontaneous and contingent had to be done to avert/slow down the Federal advance, a diversionary tactic had to be implemented... and a invasion of the Midwest which in principle was a buffer zone, but actually under the control of the Federal government was the answer to that solution to the Biafran crisis.

But let me not derail the purpose of the thread, just had to make a detailed point here in the most objective and respectful way possible.

Great point raised, but we didn't see it from that angle, Ojukwu not only wanted to conquer the region, he also ordered his men to bring Ejoor dead or alive, that alone brought so many doubts within the indigenes of the region, during the invasion there was also a rumour that the Biafran troops were about removing the Oba of Bini, that also had so many negative effects on how we perceived the occupation of our land by the Biafran troops, within few weeks of the occupation, several militias sprang up from Urhobo, itsekiri and Ijaw axis, they even poisoned some biafran soliders and drown so many in Sapele.

Ojukwu miscalculated, he could have used a more diplomatic ways instead of invading the region, considering the fact that he had some level of supports from the anioma's.

The federal government quickly keyed into that and pitched the Minorities against Ojukwu, till now that sentiments still exist, the decision to invade the Midwestern region is one that brought the civil war to an end.

gidgiddy:
My only problem with Ejoor is that he never stood for anything. He was just another Northern slave. This was a man who went to Aburi and was signed a document along with Gowon and Ojukwu on behalf of the Mid-West Region. But when Gowon broke that agreement, rather than join Ojukwu and insist on the Aburi agreement, he sheepishly bowed to his Northern masters

How was he a northern slave?, The Midwestern region was neutral in the civil war and had already warned both warring parties not to bring their battles to Delta and Edo, you should blame Ojukwu for invading Midwest just because Ejoor didn't dance to his tunes.

The Midwestern region had no choice than to join the federal troops, let's not even talk about the atrocities committed by the Biafran troops. David Ejoor did all he had to do to protect the interest of his people.

rummmy:
Urhobo people and ugliness be like 5 and 6.....quote me and die

Respect the dead, you shouldn't bring tribalism into every post, how many Urhobos have you met in your life?

HisMajesty1:
Invasion from whom? The federal troops or Biafran troops?

Biafran troops, The federal troops never invaded the Midwestern region, Ojukwu miscalculated and that decision cost him a lot.

naptu2:
I wish I had a video of his interview on the NTA in which he described what happened during the Mid-West invasion and how he escaped from Benin.

He was a great man. He fought like a lion when Ojukwu ordered his troops to bring him dead or alive, that decision alone changed the fate of the Civil War.

He was the fight Nigerian Commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy.

RIP general, A true son of the soil, the Urhobo nation will miss you, Deltans will miss you.

RIP general. cc: sanchez01, fratermathy, we just lost a hero.

SLBMS, nice reading from you again.

Kudos the our Armed Forces, the captured soldiers should be dealt with to send proper message to others violating our territorial integrity.

God bless Nigeria.

eventsmallchops:
I have being struggling to raise money to start business for over 2 years now and government is no where to be found to assist those who came out of school , learnt skill and no capital, every one will ask you to start small, but how do you even start small when you can not even afford to feed yourself and still have a daughter to care for? I wished they select my wife for Npower but they didn't select her, many of those government programmes are for those with connection in the government, well, it all have to do with your mindset, I will not go into crime , everyday we see them on TV , social media after been arrested and sent to jail after flaunting those wealth for short time , my only fear is how to take care of my daughter and how to keep my wife because she's tired of living in abject poverty, if you don't know anyone in government, no job for you, myself and my wife are both graduates , but I have no choice than to keep hoping, I wake up everyday and leave the house hoping things will get better one day, if I get anything, i use it to buy tool , buy the tools small small and one day I can kick start by the grace of God, its better to stay out of trouble , even if you beg for help, people will tag you as thief, only God will deliver us . SAY NO TO CRIME.

It is well bro, you will succeed, I read were you stated you had some baking skills, continue saving till you get some reasonable amount and then get the basic equipments for the job, you might even add popcorn production to it much later.

Don't give hope, it will only get better. Peace

rusher14:
What's this one saying?

Does democracy not allow for opposing views?

Has Ogboru not contested countless elections?

Has any violence raged in association with Ogboru over the years?

Has Ogboru stolen the wealth of Delta state?

Some of you just type without thinking.

How does conflict in Uvwie be connected to Ogboru, like do you know how many conflict we witness yearly in the same Uvwie?

The army is currently on this situation, for now everyone residing in warri should as a matter of urgency avoid jakpa junction, Jakpa road, Alaka etc those areas are prone to conflicts.

Davash222:
Ekpan boys at it again. Ogboru and APC got no place in Delta state. Delta is PDP!!!

Sorry sir, it has nothing to do with Ogboru, it is an internal conflict between Uvwie sons and daughters, and the crisis didn't extend to Ekpan, for now they are only fighting at Effurun, the Army is currently in control of the situation.

Uvwie has always been a hot zone, of all the Urhobo cities in Delta state, Effurun and Ekpan is one of the hottest.
