HARDDON:
HulabAlu!

Cant imagine how these tiny men, round eyed, lil land mass keep defiling space n distance while my motherland blessed beyong imagination is nothing but a sleeping, uncoordinated n mis managed gaint.

You called China small landmass? If you don't know multiply Nigeria's landmass by six is not up to the landmass of China. Nigeria's landmass is just like a province in China. In other-words, China's landmass is over 7 times bigger than Nigeria's landmass.

Selling lands? So when someone sells land, it makes his the owner of the city?

See the kind of sick-brain coons I have been engaging!

Olu of Warri remains Olu of Warri and not Olu of itsekiri and all your self-imposed new generation kings chiefs are unrecognised and aren't up to scratch.

Obi Of Asaba
Olu of Warri

All others are insignificant.

Igbo man with trickish and foolish mentality! In your stupidity you think you can instigate me against Itsekiris? You think Itsekiris are like you uncultured criminally-minded people whose major stock in trade is chest-beating?
Who is Obi of Asaba? Is there any title like that you lousy native of erosion ravaged south-east? For your information, there are two Urhobo kingdoms in Warri with their kings gazetted and receiving monthly pays from the Delta State Government while you are ranting online. As I said before you know nothing about Warri as you are a refugee. So go back to your impoverished south-east and figure out how you can help your Igbo people who have been reduced to minority in Nigeria's politics.

zionmade:
Yes I also want to know where the Bible said sagging is a sin. I guess u re too carnally minded to think dat everything that is indecent in the eyes of man is a sin

It's not a matter of been carnally minded. Not every wrongdoing is specified in the Bible yet they are likely not right in the sight of GOD. For instance, taking cocaine, dressing half-naked, watching pornography, producing or selling fake drugs/ products knowingly. May GOD always show us mercy.

Fearlez:
Tell that to the marines. You're a tenant, a settler and Olu of Warri as a first class monarch which no urhobo king can ever claim anywhere is your overlord.
He represents Warri and all your kings are like chiefs.

You call me iPob because I slapped you with the truth.

He represents Warri in your dream, while Urhobos are the land owners and selling lands in Warri without opposition from your Olu. You said Urhobo kings are like kings yet your Olu can never dare summon them, neither can he dare trespass into their territories. Till tomorrow Urhobo continue to remain landlords of Warri and there is nothing your likes can do about it. I can see that you are an ignorant kid ranting online on what he knows nothing about. Continue to dwell in your fool's paradise!

Fearlez:
How am I iPob? Because I put you in your place? I don't place me. Your igbe shrine is giving you false prophesy!

All the roles you mentioned are electioneering roles. Anyone can get elected anywhere. Olu of Warri has been gazetted before you or your father was born. And you are a subject of olu of Warri. Nothing you type here can change that !

You talk like a kid! Igbe shrine? God forbid! Back to sender. The Olu has no single influence over any Urhobo in Warri. Urhobo don't go to his palace and he doesn't trespass into Urhobo lands in Warri. He cannot make or enforce any proclamation in Urhobo territories in Warri. May be you and your household are the subjects of Olu.

Fearlez:
Urhobos in Warri are no better then renegades and rebels. Olu of Warri it remain and no rants from your land grabbers can alter that.

Those ghetto slums and settlements you mentioned in Warri like Okumagba layout etc are places where urhobos don't even allow officials from Warri South local government to operate because you're trying to carve out a kingdom from an existing kingdom.

That palace you mentioned, was it not the one built near Okere market ? It's more or less a community town hall.

You people are not recognised in Warri. Okumagba until his death was just an ordinary chief.

End of story.

I'm not surprised at your comments because I know you are IPOB Igbo! You don't know Warri well. That building you said near Okere Market is not a palace but the permanent secretariat of Okere-Urhobo Youth association. If you want to see the palace go to Ejemudarho. Did you said Urhobo are not recognized in Warri? For your information, the Honourable member representing Warri South Constituency 11 at the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Dennis Omovie, is an Urhobo native of Warri. Also the Vice Chairman and several other Councillors of Warri South LGA are Urhobo people of Warri.

Fearlez:
Urhobo coward! Internet has given a stockfish likelike you a voice!

Why not go on to the streets of Warri and let the okere community descend on you like they always do.

Castaway reprobate!

You problem is ignorance! You know nothing about Warri. Who are the people of Okere? For your information, the palace of the Orosuen of Okre-Urhobo Kingdom is located right there in the heart of Okere. Even the permanent secretariat of Okere-Urhobo Youths was built closed to the Okere Market and you dare not park by its gates. People who live in Warri can confirm these to you: Every tribe knows her boundaries in Warri. The Olu's authority is restricted to only the Itsekiri parts of Warri and he never trespasses into Urhobo communities in Warri such as Edjeba, Ogunu, Agbassa, Okere-Urhobo, Okurode-Urhobo, Okumagba, Igbudu, Essi, Ukpokiti, etc. When the Itsekiris are doing their feasts, they do not carry their procession into Urhobo territories in Warri. The Itsekiris are matured and civilized people. They are not like you IPOBians trying to instigate division in Warri because we rejected Biafra!

sean1000x:
Ode...you are a mumu. That's why they are called intelligence and secret service...can operate without detection. Go and study about MOSSAD...the most efficient intelligence and secret service in the world. If you watch the organization of Nnamdi Kanu security detail, you will know that MOSSAD is involved. They leave days before his plan events surveying every inch of the place with anti bomb and weaponry detecting devices. High tech surveillance in massive crowds. Powerful weapons seen with American and MOSSAD Secret service. Most are in crowds like ordinary people.

But you a layman can detect MOSSAD agent without stress and Nigeria's DSS/ SSS cannot! Clap for yourself for knowing more than Nigerian Security Intelligence Agencies.

BiafranPrince:
Don't worry, it does not matter the terroritorial size, but we will request Bakassi back, if they refuse, we will shell them till they beg us to take it back.
You think Biafra will be your typical backward African country that can't produce ordinary rifles.

Time for Bakassi will come.

Chest beating! Why were you not able to produce the sophisticated weapons needed to defend your Biafra land in the 1960s but allowed Nigerian troops to thoroughly dealt with you?

acenazt:
See small cameroun wey even biafra go quench ohh. Taah obasanjo ef up wen him allow cameroun thief our land

Ignorance! In your mind every other African country apart from Nigeria is small. For your information, Cameroon [475,442 sq.km] is more than half the landmass of Nigeria [923,768 sq.km]. The way you consider other African countries as small so also some people in those countries regard Nigeria!

BiafranPrince:
Yes because the agreement was not with Biafran govt, so we will take them to ICJ, win the case and if La Republique du Cameroun refuses to hand it back, we will bombard them till they beg for mercy.

Kids underrating the military strength and capability of Cameroon. If Biafra is created, it will not even be up to 1/4th the size of Cameroun.

Rikidony:
so sad, the federal government should intervene now, before things get out of hand.

we can actually take back bakassi in a week. although the international community will intervene.

myndd 44 lalasticlala

Take back Bakassi from Cameroun in a Week? How will you achieve that? By magic? You think Cameroun is a small country? In your mind you think Nigeria can defeat Cameroon in military combat in this present time. Wake up!

They further discovered that nearly 220 languages have disappeared while 880 languages are still in use in India. And over the past 50 years India has lost about 250 languages. [https://www.readmeindia.com/how-many-languages-in-india/] The credible sources are so numerous that I have to pick out these few to bring to your attention. Obviously, in term of multiplicity or diversity of spoken languages, Nigeria is no match compared to India!

9jakool:
Yes I gave a source for my figures for number of languages.
Ethnologue India
Ethnologue Nigeria

I specifically asked you to provide yours that's if you can. If you can't, then we can move on to that question I've been trying . What makes a person a negro?

Wait! Are those your claimed sources books or what? If they are written books, what is the name of the writer or writers? Who are the publishers? And what date was it published? Concerning who is a negro, I have since corrected my assertion in my earlier reply to someone here. A negro is simply a general term for all blacks. In other-words, all blacks are negroes. Mistake corrected.

9jakool:
Simply give me a source. Remember that anyone can put up random figures online. I've provided a credible source for my figures. Give me a source for your figures.
Oh yeah,you haven't answered my question. What makes a West African negro?
"Negro is a sub-division of the Black race" no be so?

Where is the credible source you claimed you gave? Don't be trickish! I can't find any source in your write up.

9jakool:
Give me a source for that figure.

Secondly, "ethnic groups" varies by different definition. In order to tell what country is more diverse, then you would compare the same country using the same source. One of the largest database for ethno-linguistic research, ethnologue lists 462 languages (448 living and 14 extinct) for India and 527(520 living and 7 extinct) for Nigeria. In majority of sources you can find, Nigeria is the 3rd most ethno-linguistically diverse in the world after Indonesia.

I don't know what mirage you are trying to play. In fact, the British Indian colony was divided mainly into Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar, and India that we know of today.

Also, the first attempt of unification of Nigeria as we know it was done by the British, an outsider force just around 100 years ago. The first unification of India happened over 2,000 years ago. During the Mauryan empire, Ashoka expanded into far reaches of Southern India (Kalanga) in 265 BC. Prior to the British arrival, there were multiple unification attempt by the Gupta empire under Chandragupta II around 400 AD and again by the Mughal empire prior to the British history.

These supremacy battle are getting ridiculous. You don't need to twist facts.

I'm not twisting facts. The records are there in the internet and you can help yourself out with it. Go to google and type: how many tribes are in India or how many indigenous languages are in India. It will bring out the information.

TayserMahiri:
Bro, you said Negros are west Africans and confused me, and seems no one is asking, so what did that mean? I thought all black ppl are negros

Well all blacks are called to as Negroes but then early European explorers used the name was used NEGROLAND in old maps to refer WEST AFRICA. You are right! All blacks are NEGROES, but not all are BANTU!

Nowenuse:
India has many religions, i do not dispute, however, the Hindus are the overwhelming majority! Many others like the minority Sikkhism, Jainism e.t.c are also very similar to Hinduism. This was why during the partitioning of India, all the other religions were classified on one side and Islam on the other side. And in the division of Punjabi region for instance, the Sikhs and Hindus were very glad to fight side by side against the muslims, cos they saw themselves as one!

Now, talking about Ghana, is there any much difference is saying ''Ghana is predominantly Akan'' and ''Akan is the dominant ethnic group in Ghana''?
I know of the other minority groups in Ghana, and i know the Akans are a cluster of groups. See, if not for the colonial efforts of the British to unite the various Yoruba and Igbo sub- tribes, prior to colonialism, there was never a united yoruba or Igbo tribes. Various yoruba and Igbo subrgoups were at war with their own selves, conquering and enslaving each other. Even till date, they still have their different dialects, customs, traditions e.t.c.
Ghana has one majority ethnic group/ethnic cluster and that is the point, likewise with the Kenyan Bantus.

You cannot really compare the difference in cultures and orientations between the core Islamic jihadist Hausa-fulani Nigerian descendants of the Caliphate, the Oyo empire descendant yorubas and the free-spirited decentralized Igbos to that of smaller Bantu ethnic groups, hell no you can't! .....The difference in histories, evolution and orientations are too wide!

As I have said earlier, the name BANTU does not implies tribal classification, rather BANTU is a sub-division of the BLACK RACE used to call black people of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa. Likewise the name NEGRO is a sub-division of the BLACK RACE used to address people of West Africa. Just as all Kenyans are BANTUS so also all tribes in Nigeria [with exception of the Fulanis and Shuwa-Arabs] are NEGROES.

Nowenuse:
India has many tribes but they all share a common religion HINDUISM, they worship same gods and godesses and have a lot of shared history, cultures and ancestry together.
The only dividing factor within them was Islam/Hinduism divide which drastically ended as soon as Pakistan left.

Ghana is clearly Akan and Christian dominated.

Kenya is a clear dominantly Bantu and christian nation.

Kenyan ethnic groups never belonged to ancient Kingdoms and empires that were at war against each for centuries.

Nigeria and perhaps Ethiopia are the only African countries that have ethnic groups from different feuding past African Kingdoms and Empires all amalgamated and forced together in one country.

So, you can see that it is not the same.

Don't even go there! Nigeria is not a mate to India when it comes to religions. India is the mother of diverse religions. Several major religions practiced in different parts of the world today originated from India, namely; Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism. Besides, Islam, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Baha'i Faith are widely practiced in India. Indians don't worship the same entities, and the feud between Hinduism and Islam within India is still there! Ghana is not an Akan country. The people of Northern half of Ghana are not Akans. Akan influence is concentrated in the Southern part [Ashanti, Fante, Axim]. Even at that, Akan is not one ethnic group. Rather, Akan is a conglomerate of closely-related tribes which include the Ashanti, Fante, etc. There are other major tribes in Ghana such as the G-Adangbe [who own the Capital City Accra], the Moshi, Manprussi [both found in the North] and the Ewe [found in the Eastern part [Ho, Volta]. What you should have said is that the Akans are the majority in Ghana. Moreover, Islam is major religion in Northern Ghana. In the case of Kenya, Bantu is neither a tribe nor a language. Rather, Bantu is a sub-division of the Black race just as Negro is a sub-division of the Black race. You should know that virtually all the black people in West Africa [apart from the Fulanis and the Tuaregs] are grouped as Negroes, likewise virtually all the black people in East, Central and Southern Africa are known as Bantu. In otherwords, Igbo, Yoruba, Bini, Urhobo, Nupe, Akan, Mossi, Mende, Mandingoes are all Negro tribes, while Kikuyu, Kamba, Acholi, Alur, Kikongo, Lingala, etc are Bantu tribes. Put differently, there are two major sub-divisions of the black race, namely [1] Negro and [2] Bantu. Negroes are mainly found in West Africa while Bantu are found mainly in Central, Eastern and Southern Africa.

vivalavida:
I don't blame the Kenyans and the Ghanaians for constantly taking potshots at this shitty country called Nigeria. At best they are a country with one or two major tribes that are related in one way or the other and separated by few languages. But this hellhole shouldn't be referred to as a country at all. We are too diverse to be one. That is why when one section gets the presidency, the other sections try to undermine it. In so doing, the economy of the country is hurt.
So Biko I don't blame them. Nigeria as large as it is is useless to mankind

Do proper research man! India [with over 600 tribes and languages] is more diverse than Nigeria yet they are still a united country. Even Kenya that you mentioned have more than 62 tribes speaking different languages. Furthermore, there are over 100 tribes/ ethnic groups in Ghana but they still love themselves. You confirm these facts from the internet. Ethnic diversity is not the real cause of disunity in Nigeria!

facelessangel:
I dont know why Afonjas always like to vie the position of Tresurer, Auditor, acountant etc. Always where they can embezzle money.

Why would they senators allow a yoruba man to be Tresurer and Auditor? this guys treacherous, nawaoh

The treasurer [Sen. Omo-Agege] is not Afonja but Urhobo.

Mbediogu:
I will no longer argue with you. I give up on you. Last line - usobos will remain what they are - minor minority when the Isoko nation goes away from you, and very soon. You tried a coup against IBB and chickened off before the show started. You wasted my cousin LT. ECHENDU. You know he had no stake in your affairs, he must be crying in his grave. All your coup leaders ran away. In the end 107 lives were executed because of ungrateful urhobos. No worry, part 2 de cook for una and you will not be helped. I am done with you and will never reply again. Bye.

First go help your Igbo tribe that have been reduced to minority status in the Nigerian political cycle and also redeem your battered image! The Urhobo nation is doing fine. We are not complaining as you do. We are blessed.

Mbediogu:
Sorry for your tribe. I pity the Ijaws and Itshekiris that accommodated a tribe that should not exist in the first place, a tribe of thieves from Okotie Eboh to Ibori. If the Igbo lost relevance, did it go to the Usobo? You remain what are and will continue to be. Wait for Igbo re-strategization. We will join the north and take all your oil.

Take our oil? Join the north to do that? Why not do it alone? Oh I understand, you Igbos already strategizing to pledge final allegiance to remain perpetual slaves of Northerners. Congrats! Igbo is a pitiable tribe with no relevant in modern Nigeria. No one respect them again in Nigeria. What a shame! A supposed majority tribe has been reduced to non-entity.Mr man, you should be very worried about the present status of your slavery tribe. For your information, Urhobo nation is doing fine in Nigeria. It's your Igbo people that are always crying like babies. Tell your leaders to organise serious deliverance programmes to free your tribe from shackles of political slavery in Nigeria.

Mbediogu:
I will not tell you what urobo (urhobo) means in my language, that will cost you money. From time immemorial, even the true Edos have regarded you as fringe elements and slaves. A dishonest slave committed treason and ran away to the Bush to escape execution by his Edo king. That is your recorded history. Today, the runaway slave Usobo is problem to his benevolent hosts- the great Itshekiri and Ijaws, and even to the rest of Nigeria. Ibori, an ex con is the best you can present to the world. Shameless.

You should be ashamed of your slave Igbo tribe first for loosing political relevance in Nigeria! A whole 3rd largest ethnic group in Nigeria has been reduced to minority status and they have no idea of how to rescue themselves from such pitiable situation. What a shame! Igbo is such a disorganized tribe. They have been agitating for Biafra and we Nger Deltans told them go to your Biafra alone they said no! Can't you Igbos stand on your own? Must you attach yourselves to us? Is it not even a shame on you to be attaching yourselves to minorities as if you are babies? The other day, Arewa youths told you vacate the North to your Igboland and start your Biafra country but you Igbos were afraid and started visiting Northern leaders to beg. Without shame, you were insisting Northerners should organise referendum for you first! How? Are they your fathers? Are Northerners your lords and masters that you have to get their approval before leaving? What a slave mentality! Are you both [Ndigbo and Arewa] not suppose to be equal stakeholders in the Nigerian Project? Are you not ashamed waiting for your fellow citizens [Arewa] whom you often tagged illiterates to give you approval before establishing your own country? Cowards! The only thing you know is to chest-beat making noise up and down shouting Biafra without action! You think freedom is given on platter of gold, you day-dreamers?

Uchihaitaci:
Have you finished?

Now its obvious you just graduated from your government sponsored militants amnesty program to learn mechanic right? look at how ignorant you sound this is why i always say that the Itsekiris are the royalty or thee Niger Delta, and i will always respect them but you on the other hand Urhobos act like rabid dogs

you for example are ranting like a typical Urhobo man so i am not surprised

You have no meaningful response to the facts I gave! Be ranting online why the Urhobo nation is accommodating , sustaining and feeding your people! Ozuor!

Mbediogu:
Is there even space enough for those wanting to join Biafra? Tankless of Usobo people. They are cast for Nigeria. Case closed.

Have you ever asked how the name "Igbo" came about, the meaning of that name and who gave it to you people? If you don't know and for your information, Igbo means "slave" and "slavery". That was the general name the Edo Empire gave to your people across the Niger River. Igbo people served as "slaves" to the Benin Kingdom and it was their descendants who intermarried and settled among the aboriginal inhabitants of Agbor, Idumuju and other parts west of the Niger that formed today's Anioma. That is why a freeborn of Ika and Ukwuani don't want to be called "Igbo" because the word "Igbo" in their Edoid influenced languages equally connotes "slavery" or "life of servitude"! If you don't know this, it was the Edo people who told the early Portuguese Explorers during their frequent visits to Benin Kingdom between "Fourteen-Fifteen Centuries" that the people who live across the River Niger [Igboland] are their "Igbo" [that is to say their slaves] and it was recorded by the whites. To repair your reputation as a people, you need to review that name "Igbo" given to you by outsiders. Who knows if that name "Igbo" is the reason why your people despite being one of the 3 major tribes in Nigeria yet command no strong political control/ influence over the nation's affairs as do the Hausas and Yorubas!

Uchihaitaci:
Dude I and most ibos I know just dont like them ...is that a crime?

Okay because I dislike Urhobos so I must dislike itsekiris?

Dude which tribal war ? Wtf are you talking about ?

Some gentle man and 8 here where exchanging views what is your problem with that ?

Oh you would rather we insulted each other ?

He had sound views and I responded

Let me guess you are urhobo ?
Men nigerians

You Igbo people sometimes are foolishly funny! A bunch of hypocrites and shameless liars! You said you and most Igbo don't like Urhobo yet your Igbo people are all over the nooks and crannies of Urhoboland in search of greener pasture. You hate Urhobo people yet continually migrate en-mass to Urhoboland to seek refuge and means of survival. If you don't like Urhobo why are your people still scrambling to stay even in the remotest village in Urhoboland? Funny enough, many of your Igbo people who have settled in Urhoboland are reluctant to return to Igboland even at old age. If Urhobo people are not good why do your people still coming like refugees to our land to settle. On the otherhand, you hardly find Urhobo people sojourning in Igboland except on government assignment. That is to prove to you how barren, unproductive and unattractive is your Igboland.

Excellence12:
Urhobo land is full of useless and economically mundane youths....we need people of like minds and wills not such rascals...Biafra stands for reason above all tribes and tongues!

We can't be of like minds with your morally degraded Igbo tribe which sees nothing wrong with engaging in crime activities but rather call it hustling. Of course, we won't accommodate your tribe known throughout the globe as drug-pushers, fraudsters, kidnappers and as prostitutes. Don't you know you Igbo people have so much dented Nigeria's image abroad?

We know IPOB has no good intention for Niger Delta minorities. Urhobo-Isoko have on several occasions made it unanimously clear to them not to trespass into our territories. We are not interested in Biafra. Period!

freshest4live:
I didn't mention anything about splitting.

Okay

freshest4live:
They can discover new ways to stand on their own, sign agreements with other wealthy regions or with Abuja for private foreign investors.
It doesn't have to be like that of U.S outrightly.
What l'm saying is that the terms and conditions can be debated. Biafra can sign agreement with south south to use their newly developed ports for instance, while they supply other things to the south south region.
Middle Belt can sign agreements with other regions as well, the regions can even encourage more foreign investors at this stage, it's like having about 5-8 new separate countries trying to start all over. There would be city registration in each state that accounts for all data, with no region having more than 6 states and at least 3.
This system is not perfect, and there may be difficulties or set backs, but it is better than what we have now.

5-8 new separate countries? From this small Nigeria? Have you ever consider the size of Nigeria's landmass? for your information, Nigeria is roughly a small country by landmass [923,768 sq.km]. We just have a large population but by landmass, Nigeria is a relatively small nation. By African standard, Nigeria is not even among the 10 largest countries in the continent. Countries such as Algeria, Congo DR, Sudan, Niger, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Libya, Angola, South Africa and Ethiopia are bigger than Nigeria by landmass. You can google this to confirm. In term of landmass, Congo DR [2,344,858 sq.km] is bigger than Nigeria [923,768 sq.km] times two. Also, Nigeria's landmass [923,768 sq.km] is not up to half the landmass size of Algeria [2,381,741 sq.km]. USA has 50 states with other additional territories and only Alaska State [1.718 million sq.km] is bigger than Nigeria [Alaska is one of the 50 states in USA]. Nigeria needs even more land to build a stronger country. If Nigeria splits today, the component parts which may emerge as distinct countries may end up not have strong voices in the African continent!
