EzeUche:You don't have any thing in common with rhem, but IPOB and MASSOB included their region as part of Biafra. Now we know the Igbos have selfish hidden agenda concerning Niger Delta minorities. |
veekid:But it possibly originated from Senegal now! Can't you see that the cuisine is named after the Jollof people [also called Wollof], the largest ethnic group in Senegal? |
Ogonimilitant:From the tune of your write-up we know you are Igbo masquerading as Ogoni. I'm not surprised any way; that is IPOB's usual trade mark. |
Odingo1:If a Republic of Niger Delta where all the people as minorities can checkmate themselves will not work out, is it joining Biafra where about 85% of the population will be Igbo that will work out? You can't trick us this cheap! Try harder next time. I'm Urhobo-Isoko, and we have made our stance on Biafra known to you Igbo people already. However, we are not against a Biafra with a 100% homogeneous Igbo population that will also include the Igboid tribes of South-South. |
Sunnycliff:May be you did not understand the situation in the state. The market unions don't even allow traders who want to sell their goods at cheaper rate to sell at all. The unions determine the prices and force all members to abide by it, and if you are not a member you wont be allowed to sell in the markets. |
Templerun95:In your dream world. |
NwaAmaikpe:Igbo Biafra an honest nation? with all their criminal tendencies [drug pushing, internet frauds, 419 activities, fake drugs marketing, faking of products, kidnapping, baby factories, etc]. What a joke! |
fasterwell:We Niger Deltans don't need both of you Igbo and Arewas, including those cowards popularly known as Afonjas! You all are parasites feeding on the abundant wealth of our Niger Delta. As for that oldman called Bugaje, if he think he is bold and brave enough to utter such nonsense let him come to either Warri or Yenagoa and say it open to Niger Deltans hearing. |
mcbreeze:How prepared are you to defend your land in the event they carried out their threat? Where are your stoke-piles of war weapons? Is there any organised military arm of IPOB and MASSOB strong enough to defend Igbo land? Mind you, these Northern Islamic Fundamentalists have since sent forth their foot-soldiers in the name of Fulani Herdsmen [their dependable collaborators to implement their Islamic and political agenda in the South]. They [Herdsmen] have already penetrated all parts of the South, and have since taken defensive and attack positions throughout our bushes, forests and farmlands. You should know that all those herdsmen attacks in the South are not just ordinary, but may be part of their grand agenda to test the strength and capability of our people to defend their lands in event of launch of their grand warfare plans from d North on a set day. And that " day" may be this recent ultimatum given the Igbo people. I just pity the South who claim to know but are so ignorant and unprepared. The day this people launch their grand plans, it may not take them months before they subdue the whole south [not just Igbo land] because their secret foot soldiers [Fulani Herdsmen] have already taken over the forests of the South well armed. Yet the South is still unprepared militarily. Mind you, these illiterate barbaric Northern Elements are not ready to support any referendum neither do they want any restructuring of Nigeria. They feel okay with their medieval archaic way of life and the slow pace of development. So don't even dream that one day there will be such referendum in Nigeria except by force by the demanding side. Virtually, the only way for any region to pull out is by force. These Northerners understand very well the cowardice of Southerners and their fear of war, and as such they are capitalizing on it to dominate the South. That explains why every time Southerners call for restructuring of the country, all the Northerners do to keep the South in check is to threaten war and "coward Southerners" will actually chicken out. Sorry to say this, Southerners [Yorubas, Igbos, Edoid group, Efik/Ibibios, with probable exception of Ijaws] are just a bunch of disunited educated noise makers with no action! For your information, I'm not calling for war, rather I pray for peace. If all parts of the country can agree with one another to live in peace and unity, Nigeria will be very great and prosperous. We have the resources. |
Evestar200:It's due to stupidity and cowardice of our people who allowed these Fulani herdsmen to harass them in their own homeland. These herdsmen are on a mission under sponsorship. They have a hidden agenda, which is to weaken the ability of Southerners to resist in an event of Islamic invasion from the north. But painfully, Niger Deltans are yet to see or understand this handwritten on the wall. |
ShaqFu:Their greedy eyes are on the vast resources of our Niger Delta on which they hoped to develop their resource-deprived and erosion-ravaged South East homeland. That is why they are using every means to coerce us into joining their dreamed Biafra country. But we are wiser. |
Mazeltovscotty:It's very clear that the South-East [Igboland] is among the poorest regions of the country with scanty natural resources. The Igbos know this themselves, and that is why they are deploying every trick to lure the Niger-Delta region with its vast rich natural resources and abundant land into their fantasized Biafra to sustain the economy of their dreamed country. But luckily, we Niger Deltans know their hidden agenda. |
Sanchez01:Urhobo migrated from "AKA" not "EDO". At the time Urhobo left, the Kingdom and land of the Ogisos was then known as "AKA". The terms "EDO" and "BENIN" are recent names which came into use only after the collapse of the Ogiso Dynasty and the subsequent emergence of the Oba Dynasty. The collapse of the "OGISO DYNASTY" and its replacement with "OBA DYNASTY" brought a change of name from "AKA" to "EDO". In fact, the name EDO was believed to have been introduced by Oba Ewuare the Great to immortalized a certain servant who saved his life during his struggle to ascend the Benin royal throne. |
ESDKING:Don't say what you don't know! Even nearby Liberia has fought two civil wars yet Liberia still remain one country. The first civil war was fought during the reign of Samuel Doe in the early 1990s, while the second civil war was staged during the regime of Charles Taylor in the early 2000s. That second war ended only when Charles Taylor was given asylum in Nigeria as part of the peace deal. Even DR Congo has fought several civil wars since independence in the 1960s, and up to date they are still looking for permanent peace. So get your fact right before coming online. |
DocHMD:Is it we Niger Deltans that we allow you Igbos to enter and bomb pipelines in our lands? You must be joking! Don't forget what our people did to Igbo Biafran occupational forces in Warri, Sapele, Benin, Ughelli, Abraka and Yenegoa areas during the 1960s Civil War. Pray for peace not war. |
Hash86:If we should follow the way you reason, then it is high time my people [Deltans] started sending all the Northern Muslim staff of Petroleum Training Institute Effurun Delta State packing because they make up a large % of the total staff of the institution. In fact, Northern Muslims have been heading PTI for consecutive years during which they favored their own people and flooded the institution with Muslim workers. Yet our people did not complain neither did they became hostile to the Muslims. We are not fools |
NtoAkwaIbom:Doubt even bother yourself speaking Ibibio to him because he can't understand. He won't also reply you in Ibibio because he is just an Igbo boy pretending to be from Akwa Ibom. It's just one of their dubious tactics. All this their shout for Biafra is because of the Niger Delta region. Their greedy eyes is on our rich resources and potentials. We are blessed. |
HungerBAD:Jewish Community? What a joke! The only real Jewish people I know are Semitic [white skinned]. Seriously, I have never seen Negroes [dark skinned people] fooling themselves the way some of these Igbos do. Their inferiority complex is a disgrace to the black race! |
Oche211:But Africans are not the only black people in the world. The people of Papua New Guinea are blacks but did not migrate from Africa! They are indigenous to their native land. |
MayhorE:"Guinea" is a "Latin/Portuguese/Spanish" word meaning, "Evergreen Forest/Vegetation". It is a common "name" the early European Explorers used to call coast lands having thick "tropical rain forests" as found in West Africa and Islands in the Pacific Ocean. As a result, there are today about four [4] countries in the world using or bearing the name "GUINEA", and three [3] of these countries are in Africa [Two in West Africa and one in Central Africa]. They are "Republic of Guinea" [i.e. French Guinea or Guinea Conakry], "Republic of Guinea Bissau" [Portuguese Guinea], "Republic of Equatorial Guinea" [Spanish Guinea] and "Republic of Papua New Guinea" [located in the Pacific Ocean close to Australia]. |
MayhorE:Papua New Guinea is not an African country but Oceania country [located close to Australia], although the people have dark skins resembling those of black Africans. |
Basildvalour:Papua New Guinea is not an African country! P.N. Guinea is an island country in the Pacific Ocean close to Australia, although they have black skins like people in Africa. |
Basildvalour: |
Oche211:Correction! Papua New Guinea is in Asia, and not an African country. |
YonkijiSappo:In likewise manner, tell us the origin of first Yoruba monarchs! |
MayorofLagos:U mean to say u believ this fabulous story formulated by a white man in far away Russia as true history of the Binis? Guy wake up! A foreigner can not tell Africans their true history, only Africans can! Edos know their history and are proud of it. |
Omamo urioke. Proudly Urhobo-Isoko. |
oruma19:Don't mind him. Warri has two state constituencies: Warri Constituency 1 is for the Itsekiris, while Warri Constituency 11 is for the Urhobos of Warri [the present Urhobo occupant of that seat is Hon. Dennis Omovie]. |
fuckerstard:Guy, Libyans who are the perpetrators of this inhumanity are Arabs [whites] and not blacks like you even though they themselves are also Africans! |
MetaPhysical:The collapse of the "Ogiso Dynasty" of the ancient "Aka Kingdom" was brought about by two major factors, namely: [1] Succession disputes among stakeholders, and [2] Distrust among the diverse inhabitants of the kingdom. Remember! The leadership structure of the "Ogiso Dynasty" was quite different from that of the later established "Oba Dynasty". In the Oba Dynasty, succession to the throne is by inheritance by the first son of the last Oba, while during the Ogiso era, succession to the royal throne is majorly by seniority and competence. In addition, the Ogiso kingship position was often rotated among the different quarters/ people that make up the kingdom. Among these different stakeholders who make up the Aka Kingdom in the ancient past and among whom the headship of the Ogiso throne is rotated are the Urhobo-Isokos, the Ishans, the Ikas [Agbor] and the aboriginal Akas [ancestors of the Binis]. It may interest you to know that the migration of many of the Urhobo-Isoko clans to their present locations took place during the Ogiso era between 700AD and 980AD when the ancient kingdom was still known as "AKA", and several of these migrations were triggered by succession disputes and disagreement with neighbors. The Ogiso era migration explains why my people [the Urhobo-Isoko] are more conversant and familiar with the history of the Ogisos and ancient Aka kingdom than they are with the later established Oba dynasty and Benin kingdom. This is because by the time the Oba Dynasty was introduced, the ancestors of many of the Urhobo-Isoko clans have already left AKA KINGDOM to settle in the Delta region. In short up til date, the Urhobo-Isoko still call the Binis who inherited the land, the ancient name "AKA" [note that the name AKA mainly refers to the land ruled by the OGISO and it's used as name for any present day inhabitants of the land]. The later name "Benin" sometimes sounds strange to my people when mentioned because my much of our ancestors have left that territory before the change of the name from "AKA" to "BENIN". Urhobo-Isoko history and folklore are always full of stories of the hale days/ glory of the Ogiso era, but only little about the Oba era. It is worthy of note that the Urhobo-Isoko were major and active stakeholders in the government of the Ogisos, and some of these Ogisos were in fact Urhobo-Isoko in origin. One of such Urhobo-Isoko born Ogisos was "Ogiso Ere" who was later deposed and migrated with his followers to establish the Urhobo kingdom of Ughelli in about the 9th century. Another was "Ogiso Ekpuigho". In summary, succession disputes were frequent during the Ogiso Dynasty as different quarters claimed rights to the throne whenever a new Ogiso is to be crowned, and such disputes sometimes resulted in civil unrests and crises during which dissatisfied stakeholders fled or migrated out to form new settlements elsewhere. Such series of succession and distrust among Udo inhabitants came to a breaking point following the death of the last Ogiso of Aka Kingdom called "Owodo" whose only surviving male child "Ekaladerhan" was banished from Udo the capital and later found himself in Ile-Ife. And as such, different parties battled for the vacant throne. This created a sort of civil war scenario leading to mass exodus of peoples from the kingdom particularly from the capital "Udo". As a result, there was an interregnum which signaled the final collapse of the Ogiso Dynasty and subsequent emergence of the Oba Dynasty. Remember that even after the establishment of the Oba Dynasty at Igodomigodo [Benin City],the people of Udo [the former capital of the defunct AKA Kingdom] for several centuries refused to acknowledge, accept or recognize the over-lordship and authority of the Obas and continue to crowned their own separate kings until Udo land was later conquered during the reign of one of the powerful Obas. |
AgentSmith001:Chest-beaters! |
ifyalways:You've already explained it! "Onicha Ado na Idu", translated in Edo language, simply mean "Onicha the Edo [Ado] of Benin [Idu]". This is a common appellation of self-hailing/ praise among peoples who migrated from the ancient lands of the OGISOS [present day Benin Kingdom]. For example, my town in Urhoboland used to hail themselves as "Ukori Edo ne Ubini", meaning "Ukori, the Edos of Benin". Know that the Ijaws, Yorubas and some other tribes call the Binis [Edo] "ADO". Also remember that the ancient kingdom of the Ogisos was known as AKA KINGDOM, and the capital was at UDO. IDU might be Igbos corrupt pronunciation of the name UDO, which was the capital of the Ogisos and where people of diverse origin converged under the protection and overlordship of the Ogiso kings. The present BENIN CITY which was at that time known as IGODOMIGODO was just an auxiliary settlement. The collapse of the Ogiso Dynasty triggered massive change of names; OGISO title was changed to OBA title, OGIDOMIGODO was renamed BENIN, capital of the kingdom was transferred from UDO to BENIN CITY, and the Empire's name was changed from AKA to EDO. |
