seriously? U wanna compare ur literacy level to that of Ibadan...what class are you self?

Educationally speaking, SW is the most backward in the South. Every available indices out there points to this fact.

This is the fact, and not the propaganda your propaganda machine in the Nigerian press has been parroting.

1shortblackboy:
i know for a fact that ikwerres or other niger delta people dont have any problem pr hate igbo people infact 3 out of every 5 niger delta person has an igbo mother or grandmother so dont get it twisted d igbos are not hated. D only issue they have with igbos is the tendency of igbos to tag every and anyone as igbo if they have any cultural exchange with d igbos. Pls be guided o

I know for a fact that Kalabari,Okrika , Bonny,Opobo, Ndoki, Andoni people don't hate Ijaws, which was why they all refused to be carved into Bayelsa with Ijaws during Bayelsa state creation, the only problem they have is when the Ijaws in Bayelsa try to claim them as Ijaws, because of few cultural exchanges they have with Ijaws like language, riverine culture trade and marriages, Ijaws have the tendency to tag them as Ijaws. Pls be guided.

Thank you.

LISTEN WELL: Asaba is a city in Delta state, and the indigenous of Asaba are deltans. Delta state has nothing to do with Igbos and there's no tribe in delta state that speaks Igbo language. All Igbos in delta state are immigrants who moved to the state same way they moved to Lagos state , Kaduna etc. This is the fact.


Igbos stop fooling yourselves claiming Ika, Ukuani etc people, they are not Igbos, and not designated under any law as Igbo, neither do they see themselves as Igbos.

You guys come on nl just to claim the identify of others to yourselves ,what's wrong with you guys?. It's like Yorubas claiming Otsekiri, Urhobos and Edo claiming Urhobo etc etc... Stop this public foolishness. Why must you guys drag other tribes to make you feel worthy?.

Only thing Delta state has in common with Igbo is that they share a border with Onitsha whixht is an Igbo state.

I pray God give you guys Biafra, but it will be a very bad market for any other unlucky minority tribe that may be part of your Biafra,the tribe will suffer and forcefully extinct.

Where did this one crawl out from?

Go to Asaba and tell them that Asaba is not an Igbo city, ndi ara. If IPOB boys there no finish your life for you.
Asaba might be the capital of Delta state, but it's an indigenous Igbo city, that as early as 1906 hosted the first international conference on Igbo language, and as recently hosted the Igbo world day in 2004 and 2012.
The street language in Asaba is not your useless pidgin English, it's Igbo, because that's the language of the indigenous Asaba and Okpanam people.

Itsekiri was never Yoruba, it was identified as a distinct group from time immemorial, there were never Midwestern Yoruba in the annals of Nigerian history.

Nzeogwu was a Midwesterner, the originator of the so called "Igbo coup", if there wasn't Igbos in the Midwest and himself being Igbo, the coup won't be termed Igbo coup by Igbophobic elements.

You are an ignorant entity for insinuating that Enu ani people are migrants in their home towns.
You are nothing but a bitter parasitic land grabber.

Asaba people are not minority like your inconsequential ethnic group, they are a majority, they are Igbo, if there be a Biafra today, Asaba will be in it.

Now go drink your drugs.

nextdoor84:
I really don't get it....are you saying folks from asaba and environs aint igbos or what....let us know where you stand please...in as much as I don't support igboid's rant on here.. I think you should also think deep before saying anything bad against your tribe!!!

Bia, nwa Ekpeye, mind your own business. You and who are ranting here? Please don't make me insult you. You
might not know it, but you are one of the few people I respect here, because of your Igbophilic stand.

"IF MY OWN PERSON TURNS AGAINST ME IT BECOMES MY ENEMY...
I AM NOT IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT A YOUNG SNAKE INHERITS POISON FROM IT'S MOTHERS WOMB"- unknown author

The above is my disposition towards any Igbo hating Ikwerre person or their ilks in Ukwuani, Ogba and Etche.

"Let me state clearly that my position on the location of the capital of Delta State has been consistent from the very beginning; right from August 1991 when Babangida used the Delta State Capital to pay his bride price to his Anioma in-laws. When I was invited to Asaba in May 1999 to give the hand over lecture from Military dictatorship to Civilian democratic government, and was asked by the out-going Military Administrator, Commander Feghabo, what I thought of the fact that only the southern Delta, particularly the Urhobos have so far produced civilian Governors for Delta State, my reply was simple. 'Delta State' is constituted by two States, Delta proper and Anioma. As long as the Delta Capital remains in Anioma,the Governors will come from the real Delta. Inspite of castigations in the press, by the Asagba of Asaba, and some other Anioma elites, I have remained firm in my views. The best solution is for the two entities to separate into two states with the Delta State Capital being at Warri. Anioma can then be a state with its capital at Asaba. Alternatively, Anioma can join Anambra State and become a member of the South Eastern group of states to which it truly belongs. It should not be forgotten that the Anioma part of the present Delta State came from Edo province. It was never part of Delta province. It is therefore an unacceptable outrage for a territory transferred from Edo State to join us, to be made our capital. The fact that the Anioma part of the State produces less than four per cent of the state's revenue or income only adds salt to a grievous injury.
I am always surprised that the Anioma people cannot understand the deep sense of injury of the peoples of the real Delta. It is no excuse that they have benefited from our misfortune. Instead of being sombre and restrained and joining us to seek a solution, the Anioma elite has been celebrating this great injustice - the stealing of our capital. Let me ask again as I did at a public forum on May 8 2002: "Here again, fellow Nigerians are capitalising on the unfortunate plight of another group of Nigerians. Should Asaba, which strictly belongs to the Igbo National Group be capital of a state of the Delta peoples? If then by a gross anomaly, this wrong has been inflicted on the Delta people, should this be confounded by an extra injury of governorship? Would that not effectively make the Anioma the colonial overlord of the Deltans?"- Itsay Sagay

Lol! So much for unity, Real Delta vs Fake Deltans, according to the Urhobo professor, ironically, it's yet another treacherous Urhobo man that opened this thread. Ndi ara!

Still on the Delta unity ish: https://www.nairaland.com/2858845/prof-sagay-many-igbos-didnt

A unity that must be based on Igbophobia. A unity that can only work if it become erased from the annals of history that there are native Igbo speaking people in Delta state, will always not stand the test of time. Ndiigbo in SE will always expose the wicked agenda behind such unity.

jasysandra:
I hold forth the truth that it is self evident to all who wish to see that Delta is great even in diversity and our greatness cannot be questioned by anyone who seeks to sow the seed the discord and anomie. We have set forth at dawn; we have seen the worst of days, we have seen the best of days... No one can hold us back. No one can tell us how to live our lives. We are who we are and we are proud Deltans!

Preach that to these people:
"Urhobo wadoo!

Uvwie wadoo!

In addition, it is know that there is a subjective reason why Asaba was made the capital of Delta. The late wife of IBB Mariam Babaginda was from Asaba.
potolistic(m): 5:06pm
The capital city should be moved from asaba to warri... Asaba almost looks like a city in one of these igbo states".


"True. Many Deltans of the true old Delta province fought against the Asaba capital location but it has come to stay and there is nothing we can do about it at all. We just have to deal with it. Agbor/Kwale/Ughelli/Abraka are more central locations for the capital rather than Asaba. Any visitor who visits Asaba for the first time will assume ALL DELTANS are IGBOS because of the Igbo-factor in Asaba.

Our only hope is that Anioma State be created and the capital moved. Until then, Asaba remains our capital for better or worse".

"Ughelli sounds like a good choice.
Even warri is not that bad. If people say Warri is old and congested, that is because the city hasn't been treated the way it should, if billions has been sunk into the city the same way as it has been done to Asaba, warri will be in a much better shape.
Asaba was a small dusty old town before it became capital of Delta".

They are the ones you need to convince of your unity, not me.
My own be to protect Igbo interest, chikena!

The ancestors of all the clans in Isoko migrated from Benin with the exception of Igbide, Okpolo/Enwe and Umeh in Isoko South LGA and Evwrheni, now in Ughelli South, which came from east of the river Niger, i.e. the present day Anambra, Bayelsa and Rivers States. They came through the river Niger to Isoko creek (a tributary of river Niger) near Patani, and advanced inland to settle in their present sites. Umeh ancestors came from Onya on the river Niger (opposite river Nun, a tributary of river Niger) and came through Isoko creek near Patani and advanced inward to settle on the banks of Isoko creek where they are at present. There was further movement of Owhawha ancestors from Igbide in Isoko South LGA to settle in Jeremi clan, Ughelli South LGA.

BraniacX:
So much panadol for the asaba peoples alleged headache! there are too many decent igbo people out there for me to regard you and your putrid infantile rantings as the norm! If not the generalisation trap is too tempting to give in to given the level of disgust you've managed to generate on this thread. Am not igbo (GOD and heaven knows i don't want to be one, not even in my worst nightmare ) but by virtue of asaba being my state capital i'm asaban and you are neither deltan or asaban hence the term parasite! Please can any kind ikwerre'an come and attract the attention of this decency sucking leech so that he'll just leave us be? plss

You are an Asaban? I laugh in Nteje! If you are Asaban, while then are your people waling over Asaba?

Lol! You can't be Igbo, you are from a small inconsequential ethnic group, not capable of reaching one - thousandth of the feats the great Igbo had achieved, little wonder you are claiming to be an "Asaban" or whatever that means,after all, that's your easiest ticket to being Igbo.

Now get missing.

fratermathy:
There are Igbos in Asaba-- So many who come from Onitsha so they can celebrate Igbo day or even have a Biafra march past for all I care.



Last last, we know werrin de sup.


Oildichotomy just tell me word now so I will rise back to my level and leave you be! Let the Asaba people fight you on this one.

Lol! So Asaba is nolonger an Igbo town? The Asaba people are now aliens who Igbos from Onitsha overpowered and turned their town to Igbo?

Which Asaba people are fighting this one? Your "dick intoxicated" gf?

I laugh in Nteje!

fratermathy:
I am not happy about it bro. It gives me reason to worry because I have good Igbo friends. Igbos are everywhere in Nigeria and God forbids that a war ensues, the massacre would be too much because virtually everyone in Nigeria hates and distrusts Igbos.

I feel Ohaneze Ndigbo should give a clarion call on this and discuss the future of Igbo people in this country. I, for one, support Biafra! Let them have it and be at rest there. Nigeria is not hospitable to Igbos due to something I just cant wrap my head around. When I see people like Igboid online talking the way he does, I just shake my head. I am tempted to generalise this as the cause of the problem.

You are a hypocrite and an Igbophobic human being.

You started your stupid article by telling us who denies and who doesn't deny being Igbo, tell me, what exactly were you trying to achieve with that, and what was the relevance of that to this your inane topic?

And then your co travellers went off lane discussing how Warri was supposed to be capital of Delta, how Asaba was a small dusty town before it was made the state capital, while you never warned against such statements, and again I ask: " what is the purpose of discussing Asaba capital status?

Nigeria is more than hospitable to Ndiigbo, we don't visit places for hospitality, we visit them to make a living and send home. Your group is not thriving better than Ndiigbo in Nigeria, despite your Igbophobia.

What massacre are you talking about? The ones you and edoids teamed up and gave to your Anioma neighbors that Peter Okocha detailed about in the book " Blood on the Niger"? The only blood that is going to flow this time around is your own blood. Your hatred for Ndiigbo does not remove a single hair from our head, we still sit atop most indices of development in Nigeria.

That your hatred can only burn and consume you, not Ndiigbo. Keep waiting for another opportunity to spill Igbo blood, vampires.

Ohaneze need not give a clarion call about inconsequential non entities, we are already aware of the hate, and are more than prepared to let you lots burn in your hates.
I pity your Igbo friends and your gf that is busy wagging her tongue here.

Which igbide people?

You and your befuddled great nuncle?

Is that an excerpt from any official igbide peoples union website?

orhue!!!

Why is this one convulsing? That story is the real Igbide story, it's not a hidden one. Go and hit your head on the wall if it pains you.

I wasn't the one that put up the story there, and I learnt about Igbide Igbo origin from an Igbide guy in official Igbide thread here on NL some years ago.

See am! Calling the crew of bigots. Lol.

Instead of you to face front, swerve and leave us to fight our battles, you de here de form protector. Who know you for Igbo land?? Are you important?

Atleast my family has roots in Asaba and when I speak, I speak on solid ground. Don't come here and start fighting a battle for man who doesn't like you.

You are a big disgrace to womanhood.

Onenaira6, Ugomba, and Omonuan are the only Enuani people recognised here, no one knows you, not here, not in the real world.

I have relatives that are from Asaba and environment too, and I visit Asaba often, you don't know more about Asaba than me.

Go service your bf and leave this thread alone. Now get lost.

Lol. Wikipedia source. Oya let me go and edit that article and write whatever I want ( I hope you are smart enough to get the drift).


Anyways, this thread is not about Igbide or which community came from Igboland or not. Igbide people are ISOKO, no amount of warping, grandeur, hegemony and acculturation can change that so deal with it.!!!

You can edit it now, and by tomorrow, Wikipedia will re edit it.

Igbide people are Isokos today, granted. But they have Igbo origin, and this is a historical fact.

fratermathy:
Help me tell them. You won't see any Asaba person come out and cry over this issue. Deltans have made peace with the status quo and we are forging ahead in unity. But some bigoted across-the-niger people will not let us see road... These guys are so full of hate and it makes me wonder sometimes. The two people causing issues on this thread are not Deltans. They are just frustrated Igbocentric fellas trolling around nairaland with a false sense of grandeur like the Germans in Hitler's days.

Did you see any Asaba man complain of our presence here? You think this is Ika and Ukwuani issues were you lots masturbate?

Here are early quotes on this thread by non Igbo Deltans about Asaba on this thread:

"Urhobo wadoo!

BraniacX:
Get lost you parasite!!!

You're not even deltan to boot!!!

We deltans have come to accept asaba as our capital just the same way Nigerians have come to accept abuja as our capital but the heart and soul of our beloved delta will always be warri and even our brothers from asaba are cool with it just the same way lagos will always be Nigeria's true heartbeat!! That used to be a politically vexing issue to many deltans, not so much so anymore and it has more to do with the fact that asaba people weren't planning on being lopped in with delta state at the onset but that is for the the history writers, our younger and contemporary generation grew up with this reality and have made peace with it on all sides of the previous divide. It is non deltan parasites like you who virally go from place to place looking for where to foster discontent and sow divisions! If the people of asaba one day decide to leave delta state and latch on to their brothers across the niger, we'll still wish them well and call them our brothers! Until they do that they remain not only our brothers, but proud deltans and host community of our state's capital and it isn't up to a parasite like you to declare them otherwise!

Get away you! Hypocrites! It was your hateful brothers that brought about Asaba discussion here. Non of you can stomach your hatred for Asaba, simply because the People have refused to deny being Igbos. You derive joy when peeps deny being Igbo, so that you can render them minorities you can subdue, and Lord it over, without the fear of dragging SE in.

No Asaba person is happy or accepts the everyday slight you children of hate points towards Asaba, right from your inconsequential chiefs to your politicians and then the teeming illiterate massess. Asaba remain your nightmare, little wonder it didn't take you demons long to bring her into this discussion, if you have made peace with Asaba the Igbo city and same time the capital of Delta state, it wouldn't be an issue here.

Now fade off! You are not an Igbo, and have no right to meddle in Asaba issues. Go look for Igbo denying peeps to cuddle with, leave Asaba out of yoUrhobo masturbation.

[b] Igbide is an Isoko clan located in the Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria.[1]

The predominant occupation of the Igbide is fishing. This is done mainly in the Urie lake, Owodokpokpo. In the first week of February the clan holds a festival on the Urie marking the start of the fishing season.[2] Cultivation, mainly of cassava and groundnuts, is also undertaken by the Igbide.

While popular folklore has it that the Igbide people originated from Mgbidi in the Eastern (Igbo) part of Nigeria, some more recent writers attribute their origins to Awka in present day Anambra state with a blend of later immigrants from Uvwie (Effurun) in Delta State .[3] This affiliation to the Igbos can be observed in the dress and costume codes of the Igbides in festivals like ABAME.,[4] and the salutation sequence and chants as well as the mercantile nature of a typical Igbide man. The Igbide people took early to Christianity.[5] Owodokpokpo, a community in Igbide clan, is regarded as one of the main entry points of Christianity into Isoko land.[6]

Igbide is also an oil producing community and host to Shell's Oroni oilfield. [/b]

On the contrary, have you seen any Asaba man caution me here?
If I am not representing their thoughts, they would have stepped forward to say so.

@Igboid. Why are you trying to stire hatred between the good people of asaba and the rest deltans? why?

I've being to asaba and warri, everyone is at peace. So why is it only on NL i see these hate? Why are you and your people this way?

See this hypocrite. What Peace? When your people are ever continuously boiling in your wicked hearts over Asaba hosting the state capital. This thread was about Delta, but your co travellers turned it into an anti Asaba thread and the treacherous OP never failed to tell us who is denying and who isn't denying being Igbo.

Your grouse with Asaba is its Igbo nature, you would rather have her deny her Igbo origins to satisfy your inferiority complex like the rest have, but she wouldn't. Deal with it. And let Asaba and it's Igbo inhabitants be.

"The Igboid groups such as Ika (Agbor), Enuani (Asaba), Ukwuani/Ndokwa (Kwale). It should be noted that while these groups maybe Igboid linguistically, they don't perceive themselves as Igbos culturally and otherwise. The only group that has major affinities with Igbos is the Enuanis (Asaba). The Ukwuanis have some cultural affinities with Urhobo/Isoko due to long contact. Collectively, the "Delta Igbos", as they are called, have a population of about 1.5 million and they form the second dominant ethnic bloc. They also occupy Delta North senatorial district. They are known as ANIOMA people, an acronym derived from Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili while the (ma) is a common suffix to complete the word which means "good land".


Look at the kind of rubbish a supposedly human being woke up one morning and started writing and you were not expecting reactions?

fratermathy:
All your ramblings are noted man. You have our attention so now you can move on so that Deltans can talk.

Nothing like Deltans. If your write up was about Deltans, there wouldn't have been need to write about the ethnic groups.

Igbo is part of Delta, I am Igbo, go figure.

Next time when you go about writing useless and brainless articles, remember not to meddle into Igbo issues.

See them. Enemies of Igbo progress! This is why Ndiigbo stepped in.

Asaba and it's environment is the only remaining Igbo frontier in the west of Niger, the rest is mired by Igbo denial, Asaba is being singled out by Igbophobic Delta tribes only because she retained her Igbo origin and continues to reach out to the SE.
You would rather have a non Igbo Asaba than an Igbo Asaba, the whole talk about centrality is a camouflage.

We will not sit and watch envious inferiority complex plaqued groups in Delta, run her down.

Good for them.

Asaba is an Igbo city so Igbos are bound to enter the city more and more. It's no biggie. Asaba is not the biggest nor the only city in Delta State. If anyone doesn't like Igbo presence, they can always relocate to Warri. Semper Fi!

Asaba is the best city in Delta. And can only grow more in the coming decades. Deal with it. As an Igbo man, I will feel more at home at Asaba than a non Igbo like you, deal with it too.

Noneroone:
dont even patrionize people with your sanctimonious exclamations. What value does the unsubstantiated and highly subjective statement that 'Delta Igbos dont see themselves as Igbos' add to the ethnic composition of Delta state?

Why didnt you make such explanations across board to cover groups that are even less homogenious than Anioma like Urhobo if u meant to be objective and not to mildly score some Igbophobic points?

Urhobo is highly fragmented, so are the rest, isoko has claimed seperate group, some isoko clans even claim Igbo origin. These are what people should learn too if you must talk about how the people see themselves and not solely the instigation of Igbo disunity propelled by the urge to dispel the fear of Igbo dominance.

If you are an aspiring writer i sincerely wish you good luck but do away with emotions 'cos Nigerian mentality is capable of ruining your career.

You have time for the treacherous being. Linking Ukwuani to Isoko, and then to Urhobo. While forgetting to tell us that Igbide in Isoko migrated from Eastern Igboland, and is part of Isoko today.

Was quick to stress in Igbo denials amongst the Ukwuani and Ika, Forgetting to tell us that Okpe people consider themselves a separate group from Urhobo.

Went through great stress to tell us how the Isoko pulled out of Urhobo in the Western house, forgettin to tell us how the Igbo denials amongst the Western Igbos started after the civil war. And also forgot to tell us that Isokos had always been a distinct people from Urhobo as the Colonials recognized them as "Igaboh" while the Urhobos were called "Sobos".

He thinks that no one sees through his divide and rule tactics while he unites his own group.

Anyway, thank God for Enuani people that have refused to be pawns in their game.
