There is no Niger Delta oil. The oil is Nigeria's. I agree that IBB corruptly gave the oil block to a relative but SS likes corrupt people like IBB. IBB is Jonathan's Fada

Ur post is senseless! But I don't blame u. Mark it, a time wil come wen evry tribe wil find its bearin nd redefined dia relatnship wit others in dis injustice-ravaged country.

This is one of the reasons why the Nigerian Army won't be able to defeat the Niger Delta militants. The Soldiers simply cannot swim. Puncture a boat in deep waters and the Nigerian Soldiers will most like all drown. Most of the militants have been swimming since they were kids and can probably eve recue their drowning comrades

Nigerian military troops ar ill-trained, poorly-equippd nd unprepared for wars/combat situatns. I doubt if they can even stand dia ground in any real military confrontatn wit neigborin African countries! D Nigerian Armed Forces ova d yrs hav bin livin in "fools paradise" until d issues of Boko Haram nd Niger-Delta militancy exposed dia weaknesses nd inadequacies! Military trainings suppose to includ "ability to swim nd survive in rugged terrains". I don't think there is any American troop/soldier dat doesn't knw how to swim!

Okay Nigerians now know we 're too big to be a country abi? na hypocrisy go kill una, Nigeria is not just too big to be a country is too big to be an african country,,,

In what way is Nigeria too big to b one country? Is it in terms of populatn or landmass? If it is populatn, knw dat Nigeria is no way near China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, USA, Malaysia, etc, in size. In terms of landmass, Nigeria is not even among d 10 (ten) largest countries here in Africa. Do u knw dat only one state in USA (e.g. Alaska) is bigger than Nigeria, yet USA stil one country even with 54 states or there about? Pls, alwys get ur facts right b4 comin online to make comments. Google is there 4 u!

Oduduwa decedent always make us proud every day n not d other way round like our self acclaim isrealites

Which Oduduwa? Listen, there is also a very notable/popular family in my Agbon clan (Urhobo) who goes by d name "Eshalomi". So don't b too sure dat she is Yoruba because Urhobo also bear dat name!

this musleem aboki they call himself SS. lwkmd

U ar an enemy of our region wu do not wish our oil-rich land well! because u ar not frm d Niger-Delta, u don't care if our region nd its pipo continue to suffer frm envtal pollution nd insecurity caused by d senseless nd selfish activities of dese few disgrunted criminals callin demselvs militants. Dese self-styled militants ar also d same pirates wu daily terrorize dia fellow Niger-Deltans particulrly mkt women, rapin nd robbin dem of money nd belongings along d waterways. I advice u stay clear frm Niger-Delta matters. NDA ar only fightin for dia personal interests. They do not represnt our region, period!

Why take pictures behind a lorry loaded with bags of what we don't know instead of their bunkered loot

D oil bunkerers in d Niger Delta hav recently devised a special method of packagin d stolen petroleum product by sackin/concealin it in water-tight bags which can b mistaken for bags of rice.

SirJeffry:
How few herdsmen conquer an entire community when there are youths there still baffles me?

Sneak in at night to kill people, I can understand, but displacing and taking over a community comprised of able young men is unthinkable.

Nigerian youth really need redefinition.

Don't b surprisd! Youths of nowadays ar no longer as bold, brave or tough as d youths of d times of our grandfathers. Dia excessiv lov nd crave for sex, women, romance, partyin/clubin, easy life, flexin nd alcohol/beer, hav drained or robbed dem of strength nd braveness to stand nd protect dia communities. But on d contrary, d Fulanis hav bin hardened by dia persistent wanderin nd jungle life in d wilderness/bush ova d yrs, makin dem (Fulanis) to b very tough, valiant nd fearless in d face of any challenge. Southern nd Middle-Belt youths needs re-orientatn to defend dia lands.

Osonobruwe (Urhobo/Isoko name for Almighty God)

Overere-Eku is an Urhobo community but due to inproper demarcation of state boundaries it was mistakenly placed under Orhionmwon LGA of Edo State. And dis has been a source of dispute btw d Binis nd d Urhobos in dat LGA because under Bini Customary Laws, all lands in Orhionmwon LGA belong to Oba of Benin who has d powers to allocate nd retrieve lands within his royal jurisdictn. As a result, d Urhobo owners of Overe-Eku hav bin agitatin for d community to b movd frm Edo State nd placed under Delta State since it is located at d boundary btw d two states. D reason for d protest may b dat d Binis in collaboratn wit som indigenes went behind to giv community land to d company witout properly involvin d community leadership structure or d immediate owners of d land.

powerfulsettingz:
the question here is can any armed personnel enter the kingdom of God?

Luke 3:14 says- Then some SOLDIERS asked John d Baptist (as he was preaching repentance), "And what shuld we do?" John d Baptist replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely. B content wit your pay."

Have you seen Obi of Onitsha's dressing? Is he from the Oba's palace too?

Find out properly! Up til today, d Onitsha royal family/ ruling houses stil openly trace dia history nd origin to ancient Benin Kingdom.

delightf:
God helphim,nd keep the evil ones eyes far from him,this boy is too small to be a king who nos the tradition nd sacrific perfomed onhis head,maybe he ll also ve 2 wives

Is it a crime or sin to marry two wives? Did Biblical kings (e.g. David) who servd GOD not marry mor dan one wife? Was dia marryin of mor dan one wife countd as sin against them? What d Bible is against is fornicatn nd adultery which many hypocritic men who claim to marry just one wife ar guilty of today!

sinkhole:
Why do you say so? I tried checking in my small screen to see any identification but failled!
Are you saying good thing can not come out of "Nazareth" (Nigeria)?

Check d colour designs nd pattern of dia camouflage dress, u wil notice dat is not d type our militarymen wear. Evry country has its unique design of military camouflage.

PAT4HOT:
All those commenting above does not observe that Ben's father may not be a Nigerian from the name and what is stated above. Besides, they all look as half caste as confirmed that the mum is from bayelsa which I think Mr. Ben is representing.
The question now is, where is Mr. Ben from?

What u need to knw is dat there were series of inter-marriages nd sexual relatnship btw inhabitants of local communities along d coast of d Niger-Delta nd early European Explorers nd Traders (e.g. d Portuguese, Spaniards, Danish, Dutch) who frequentd d region btw d 15th nd 19th centuries AD. Even til today in several Itsekiri coastal towns nd villages, it is stil common to found light-skinned (half-cast) pipo who ar descendants of sexual relatnship btw early European visitors nd d locals whom they traded wit.

drtwist:
so festus is an urhobo they told you em. He is an itsekiri man o, from warri south

Festus Keyamo is an Urhobo man frm Effurun (Uvwie Clan). He is a landlord to Tompolo because Tompolo built his residence in Uvwie land (Bendel Estate, Ugborikoko)!

Khd95:
Sell ur garments to buy swords

I mean how could master himsef who''couldnt harm a fly''as peaceful as dove,ordered his disciples to carry swords

D "sword" our Lord JESUS CHRIST referrd to in dat passage was likely not a "physical sword" but rather a "spiritual sword". Dat explaind why our Lord JESUS cautiond Peter to draw back his sword when Peter in a moment of self-defence choppd off ear of one of d guards who came to arrest JESUS. Peter probably misundastood JESUS' mention of "sword" to mean a "physical sword" instead of a "spiritual sword"! Even Ephesians 6:10-18 educates us dat "d weapon of our warfare is spiritual", nd we (Christians) shuld put on d full armor of GOD to b able to stand against d schemes of d devil. Ephesians 6:17 specificaly explains dat d "Word of GOD" is d "sword of d Spirit" nd helmet of salvation.

tpiah2:
true.

It was Ebonyi (Enugu) or Abia (Imo) state.

There were only two states in d whole of d present South-East as at dat time (1976), namely Anambra nd Imo. D old Anambra State in 1976 consistd of d present Anambra State, Enugu State nd parts of Ebonyi State (Abakaliki axis). On d otherhand, d old Imo State comprisd of today's Imo State, Abia State nd parts of Ebonyi State (Afikpo axis).

OPCNAIRALAND:
Lmao...

You people and adoption, na wah!

Yoruba adopted Oba and then you adopted Omo n'Oba...please hush if you have nothing cogent to contribute.

One thing u need to knw about d Edo Monarchy is dat evry reigning Oba upon assumptn of d throne creates his own choice of royal praise or appellatn to boost his prestige. E.g., for d present Oba it is "Omo N' Oba" (meaning "d child/son is king", for Oba Ovoranmwe in d 19th century it was "Nogbaisi" (meaning "glory/fame spread abroad" or "all-round powerful", nd for Oba Ewuare d Great in d 15/16th century d appellatn was "Ogidigan" (meaning "d strong/great" or "d overcomer of troubles".

YonkijiSappo:
Bini Kings themselves were not known as Oba before Eweka, son of Oranmiyan gave them that title, because he didn't want to be called an Ogiso.....And he was right, as he was the son of an OBA, not the son of an Ogiso. That was the source of the Bini title (Omo n'Oba)
Stop twisting history

But don't forget dat d first ruler of Ife (Oduduwa) was d first son of Ogiso Owodo by d name Ekaladerhan who wandered frm Udo town (capital of ancient Aka Kingdom) to escape injustice, nd at d end arrived in Ile-Ife where he was welcomed, acceptd nd finally made dia king. It was probably as a result of divinity displayd in his personality dat promptd d Yorubas over whom he ruled to give him another name "Oduduwa". Rememba dat d Yorubas believd Oduduwa migrated frm d "east" to rule over them, nd Benin City is "east" of Ile-Ife.

Onijagidijagan:
The word Oba is yoruba word why are these benin people lying this way. ..The first Oba was Oduduwa d last born of Lamurudu frm Ife

Binis are here to steal our culture like d IPODs...Iol

If u study history very well, u wil notice dat bfor d comin of d British, Yoruba kings were not knwn by d title "Oba". Rather, they were bearin various titles such as Alaafin, Ooni, Alake, Deji, Ewi, Olu, Baale, etc. Only d Benin monarchs were knwn to hav bin consistent wit d use of d title "Oba" frm d start as documentd by early Portuguese Explorers who visitd d empire in d 15th century AD! D title "OBA" is derived frm d Edoid word "OGBA" which translates to mean, "THE STRONG", "THE POWERFUL", "THE MIGHTY" or "THE GREAT"! D use of d Oba title by Yoruba kings was a later adaptation copied frm d Binis owing to d fame nd prestige of d Benin Monarchy. Nd also, don't forget dat d Binis conquerd nd ruled large parts of Yorubaland!

Tinubutoto:
go n solve yo Biafra problem and not to argue what u know nothing about. Ijaw has 4 local government areas in delta state, call just 1 local government own by Itsekiri in delta except Warri South west they are sharing with Ijaw and is located in Ogbe Ijaw and Warri North with Itsekiri 6 wards and Ijaw 4 wards and Warri South shared among Urhobo, Itsekiri and Ijaw?. who is the senator representing delta state from 2003 to date.
Ijaw has Patani lga, Bomadi, Burutu which is the largest local government in the state with a lone house of representative member, Ogbe Ijaw. Name 1 Itsekiri lga?

Guy, Ijaws hav only two (2) homogenous LGA in Delta State, namely Burutu nd Bomadi! Patani LGA is owned/shared by both Ijaw nd Urhobo (Odorubu nd Uduophori pipo/sub-clans). Even in Bomadi LGA, there is one or two Urhobo villages (belongin to Olomu clan/kingdom)!

meforyou1:
my friend, can u pls just shut d hell up. Typical yoruboidoid always wallowing in ignorance.
We are talking of Nigerian ethnic nationalities, you are here saying yoruba is the highest ethnic nationality in africa.
If it comes to africa, yoruba won't even smell 1st hundred.
Where are hausas and fulanis that are all over West Africa. Where's swahili in East Africa? Where are the Arabs in North Africa? Where's zulu in southern africa? Even the hutus and tutsis in central/East Africa are more populous than yorubas.
Even the afrikans in southern africa are more populous than yorubas

Don't mind him. Even in West Africa, we hav d Mandingoes which spread across several countries frm Senegal to Gambia, Guinea, Sierra-Leone, Mali and Ivory-Coast. Dat explains why Mandingo's names such as Camara, Toure, Koulibaly, Foddi, Sekou, etc, ar very common in those countries!

oikechukwu:
One thing I know for sure is iteskiri outnumber ijaws in delta state. I'm even sure isoko outnumber them

Ijaw is only about 5 - 10% of d populatn of Delta State. I'm a Deltan currently based in Akwa-Ibom State. Several times I hav sort to knw frm Akwa-Ibom indigenes if Ijaws actualy own Eastern Obolo, but to my surprise they dismissd d Ijaws claim sayin dat there ar no Ijaw lands in d state. Dat Eastern Obolo pipo speak a language dat is even mor similar to d Ibibio language dan to Ijaw!

blueAgent:
U are confused.

U ar senseless.

blueAgent:
I laugh at U. go and watch travel channel on cable and see the level of supersitious believe and practices in Britain and Europe yrs back and in present. Africa is backward becos we refuse to think not religeon

Laugh at urself not me, mr man!

Houseofglam7:
Nigeria sef!
Are we making progress at all
People still believe in witchcraftcy?
When they should be busy trying to make their lives better!



Witches no go even fit initiate me,coz I'll be too lazy to attend meetings

I salute her courage!
For y'all pointing out her tattoos, Who una 'untattooed' body help

U made me laugh wit ur very funny statements. D prevalence of beliefs in powers of witchcraft nd fear of witches nd wizards, ar evidences dat black Africa is stil far behind in d journey of human civilizatn nd enlightenment! It happend too in Europe durin d "Dark Age" hundreds of years ago, when witches were blamed for societal problems nd thus, pipo suspectd of witchcraft were publicly burnt alive in England! But as mor Africans embrace civilizatn, black pipo wil begin to realize dat witches ar not dia problems, nd dat wit increasd knwledge, enlightenment, creativity, ingenuity nd skills, Africans can readily overcome dia challenges!

Op! What do u gain frm tellin lies nd peddlin false informatn? Igbos 30-40% of Delta State's populatn? Maybe u got dat % frm ur dreams! For ur informatn, only Urhobo is about 54% of d populatn of Delta State spread across Delta South nd Central Senatorial Districts! D populatn of Delta North District (Igbos) is just around 20% of d State's!

temblor:
Kanu whose lawyers abandoned? What's the connection between ipob and militants? Pls stop the joke

They ar d same Igbo IPOB activists masquaradin as Niger-Delta militants just to mislead/deciev d public into believin dat we ar in supprt of dia Igbo Biafra. Biafra is exclusivly an Igbo affair, nd not for us non Igbo Niger-Deltans! Dat so-calld general Ben is unknwn in d Niger-Delta region! It is better he is addressd "Igbo militant", nd not "Niger-Delta militant"!

Demmzy15:
Allaahu Akbar! Alhamdullahi, this also refutes a notion that Yoruba Muslims are converting to Christianity. This is a clear indication that Yoruba Muslims have woken up from the sleep, no time to waste time, Yoruba Christians(like pneumaticos and Annunaki) need to go extinct. The truth would continue to unfold itself!!!!

I could remember when they were shouting "6 million Muslims convert to Christianity each year in Africa"?! Christians are one set of funny people, Lord have mercy!!!

May GOD ALMIGHTY hav mercy on u and open ur eyes to see dat CHRISTIANITY is d ONLY TRUE LIGHT. May d SUPREME GOD who created d Heavens and d Earth, rescue u frm thick darkness of ignorance and falsehood, and show u dat JESUS CHRIST is d TRUTH and only WAY to SALVATION and Eternal LIFE in GOD's HEAVENLY KINGDOM. Man! Accept JESUS CHRIST now as LORD and SAVIOR to gain true LIFE, and obey His TEACHINGS if u want to inherit d KINGDOM of GOD.
