water, just like electricity is an important aspect of urbanization.

who know ogwashi in Delta before the polytechnic?

go outside Delta and tell me how many people know whether there is a village called ogwashi

water isn’t urbanization , because the availablity of water isn’t man made but natural resources. I can bet you that many outsiders will know about Ogwashi first even before getting to know ozoro or oghara. We r talking base on development, land mass, population, not merely if there is water or not .

Lostz:
it is only Ozoro you can compare ogwashi with.

both are ghost town without students. economic activities always come to a halt during the holidays

lol , Ogwashi can never go to an halt for anything.. Ogwashi school area is a distance away from the residential parts, I guess u passed through the school road and came out . So u obviously didn’t see people or see the town properly, the only thing oghara/otefe has that Ogwashi doesn’t is the delta state teaching hospital. U can’t compare Ogwashi with ozoro, oghara/otefe May be better in little ways but that’s the only place u can adequately compare with Ogwashi . Ozoro is a village, Ogwashi isn’t

Lostz:
I am not comparing. I am saying they are better.

ogwashi that you can't get enough water to live. you have to limit your use of water.

go and count the people in ogwashi and come back to tell me. I know it won't take long now that there are no students

hush , water got nothing to do with urbanization. They don’t hv water ,so does Agbor and so many other places . That doesn’t count as anything.

Lostz:
ogwashi is a student camp that is always deserted during the holidays. remove student and there is nothing.

it is just like Ozoro. the only thing that makes Ozoro better is that the indigenous population is much

the only place U can compare with Ogwashi is Oghara/otefe

Greetings Nowenuse.

One fact about the urbanization of Delta Central is the contributions of not only the Urhobos but Isoko, Ijaw and itsekiri who mostly dominate the oil sector, Most see Urhobo land as their major place of investment, hence the swell in population and urbanization. While Asaba can compete with Uvwie/Udu/Okpe/urhobo parts in Warri, it's no where near these places in terms of IGR, income flow and Industrialization, although Asaba is far more organized. As far as oil remains our major income, no place in Delta can compete.

Agbor is in the same league with Agharo, Obiaruku sees Abraka as their major town, most come in to work then go back on a daily basis.

Aniomas are trying when it comes to Education, but I still think it's a tie between Deltans. I give it to Enuanis though, I noticed they have this zeal for education as far back as the early 60's, but in recent decades, every one is catching up.

Oil messed things for us which somehow had a negative impact on our mentality, the free money made some of Us reluctant but Urhobos from Agbon, Ughelli etc aren't really affected by this free money mentality, people from that angle are far more educated and hardworking.

Agbor isn’t in the same league with abraka. Agbor is a residential town , it has a college of education and pioneer nursing school, Abraka is a village , without students abraka is dead . Ogwashi is even more urbanized than Abraka . Ogwashi is also a town with or without it’s students , the school area is very far from the residential parts and it’s very active with or without students . U can’t compare abraka with Agbor or ugwashi . U just Can’t . Even in land mass they r not mates , both Ogwashi and Agbor are local government head quarters , abraka isn’t . Abraka is a village

Sunday Oliseh say he is not Igbo.

yeah , that’s why I said igbo speaking , not Igbo

Nowenuse:
Isokos are not as small as you think they are.
If you add Urhobos & Isokos together, Isokos make up to 30% of the population, if not more.

People look down on Isoko numbers cos they have only 2 LGAs and migrate from their land like nonsense.
Isokos outnumber Itsekiris by far and can measure up to the Ijaws in Delta state if not outnumber them.

I knew Isokos were so many looking back when I was in schools. In my secondary sch in Warri, for every 10 Urhobos you find, you find like 6 Isokos. Infact in my department and faculty in Uniben, Isokos equalled Urhobos in numbers. Living in Warri, Isokos can give Urhobos from outside Warri area (i e Ughellis, Okpes & Ethiopes) a good run for their money in numbers.

It's unfortunate that Isokos got only 2 LGAs. If we had ethnic census in Nigeria, so many lies would have been exposed.
Imagine somebody here (Senatordave1) claiming Itsekiris are more than Isokos.

When I was in Uniben, there was only 1 Itsekiri girl in my department while Isokos were dragging numbers with Ishans & Afemais.

People just claim Itsekiris & Ijaws have numbers in Delta state, but you don't see them anywhere.

Nowenuse:
Nice one. Yes Urhobo land is more urbanized than Anioma land.
Infact I keep telling my Anioma friends to thank their stars that they got the captial in Asaba, otherwise their homeland would have almost been nothing to write about.

Now Asaba can neutralize Urhobo parts of Warri urban/Uvwie/Udu in development.

Agbor can neutralize Ughelli. Obiaruku can neutralize Abraka, but Obiaruku is not populated with vibes like Abraka with the university.

Kwale can neutralize Oghara.

The Urhobos still have Sapele standing

Ogwashi Uku is nothing and can only compare the likes of Mosogar-Jesse.


In terms of human capital. It is almost a tie between Aniomas & Urhobos. However, I will say that Aniomas have a more higher quality population than Urhobos and this is not insulting.
Urhobos had and still keep on having many more children than Aniomas and this reduced the quality of the population.

Take the Enuanis for example, they are the most educated in Delta state in my opinion. You hardly come across a full blown illiterate from this area. All my life in Delta state, I have only come across one woman in her middle age from Enuani who was an illiterate. But for the Urhobos, Isokos, Ijaws, Itsekiris and even Ikas & Ndokwas, it is higher.

I attended Federal government college Warri & UNIBEN and through my years in both schools, Enuanis (Anochia/Oshimili people) were always at the top of the class and performed better than the Urhobos and others on average. These Enuanis also tend to come from richer and more educated middle-class families from my observation. .

However in terms of successful people. It is almost a tie between Urhobos and Aniomas. Urhobos almost exclusively founded and grew the comedy industry of Nigeria. They dominate this industry.
They carved a niche for Warri in Nigeria. Though, Aniomas are far ahead in capitalism and wealth creation.

Oil discovery came in too early for the Urhobos. It has unfortunately made many of them very lazy and reluctant with a strong sense of entitlement. ....
This character is worse among the Uvwie, Udu & Warri south Urhobos. So many of them do not want to go to school anymore, but want to be in charge of community funds and allocations. Oil is really more of a curse than a blessing abeg.

ogwashi is the third developed anioma area.

Saying Ogwashi is like mosogar , shows u are saying rubbish , infact u don’t know what u are saying !!!

Branzy:
If all urhobo in both senatorial district rally along one candidate they will win any gubernatorial elections. But urhobo don't play that politics. Ogburo tried that card and win I think only 3 local govt

it’s not possible

SocialJustice:
Gather your thoughts and express them properly before engaging in conversation. No tribe in Delta state is many enough to win election on their own.

so in other to sound smart u hv to say trash first ,, u obviously can’t read to understand. Infact ur first sentence is for urself .

I just dy laugh. When election reach okowa was begging urhobo kings left and right. Even okowa dare not challenge urhobo. One smallie just come online to talk thrash
. Only a fool will argue with this bigot who always shout marginalization in delta state
.

like an urhobo man can win an election without the votes of aniomas . It’s like this in delta . The votes of the urhobos and Aniomas very important is all elections. Except u want to argue baselessly .

Nowenuse:
No pls you are wrong.

Most Ukwuani & Ikas reject Igbo identity, but they never reject Anioma. They embrace it with wide arms open.
You are mistaking Anioma for Igbo here.

Most Ukwuanis & Ikas even accept the Delta Ibo tag... The pure Igbo identity is what they have a problem with cos they cherish their uniqueness from the SE.

spot on . Ndokwas and aniochas are same

I thought she was the one that opened the thread at first, my bad

don’t even dare attack me . Be guided

Nwanyiogwashi:
Please stay off this thread I don't need south East igbos for help I can handle all the Urhobo people put together including efe

ur own is too much self

SocialJustice:
It is a stupid argument and you shouldn't indulge her. Number of local governments does not equate to anything. In terms of economic power, the ANIOMAs can't even compete with the Itsekiris talk more of Urhobo.

Go search population figures too, the Urhobos are the largest ethnic nation in Delta State and the 5th largest nationally.

It took the intervention of Urhobo, Itsekiri and Yoruba to save Okowa from eviction out of government house. The so called Aniomas whose only resource are yams could do nothing to save him.

There are things that shouldn't be said in public.

I just hope DSP Ovie Agege will be able to unite urhobos and make them function as a solid unit rather than the 28-30 Kingdoms they like operating as.

so u think any urhobo man can win an election with out the votes of the aniomas? Let me hear it ? The iteshikis is not urhobo o neither r the Isokos . So don’t refer them as one. We talking about pure urhobos

Eastlink:
I understand. But a lot of them don't realize the damage they're causing with this thread.

yes exactly, I love my delta brothers, everyone of them and we r always unified . So it’s sad seeing people argue over irrelevant things

Eastlink:
Hypocrisy full this comment. Are the Urhobo’s setting the margin? Is it not a shame than an Urhobo dude opened this thread to bash the Anioma. So you expect her to form good Deltan while the Urhobo run riot. Caution her, no problem, but warn your brothers too. Their attitude is embarrassing.

I didn’t even know it was an urhobo dude ,but that’s really sad and immature of him , I can give a million and one reasons why the urhobos can’t measure up with the aniomas in different sectors, but I want to choose the path of peace.

Efewestern:
Greetings.

I initially never wanted to comment on this thread because of some strange monikers hiding under the Anioma banner to dish out hate, very uncommon with the good people of Anioma, never have I met any Anioma child with such level of hate and bitterness.

My little contributions to the thread.

Delta state, infact Nigeria as a whole is lagging behind when it comes to real development, most of our cities are highly overrated, so I'm definitely not going to talk about cities but level of urbanization in Delta state.

Urbanization.

It's an open secret that Delta central is one of the most urbanized region in Delta state, all thanks to the oil industry. 3 of the 6 urbanized towns in Delta State are in Urhobo land, the rest spread across other regions.

Top 6 Urban Areas in Delta State


Uvwie/Udu/Parts of Okpe(Jeddo, Osubi) - Urhobo
Warri - Shared with itsekiri and Ijaw
Asaba
Agbor
Ughelli - Urhobo
Sapele. - Urhobo

Human resources

Deltans generally are doing very great, was looking at a a list of Nigerians who graduated with masters in a US university, to my greatest surprise, for every Yoruba and Igbo, there's either an Urhobo name, an Isoko name or an Edo name, even with a population of less that 6 millions, the Urhobos were practically competing with the big two in human development.

In business, they have produced big shots like Ibru and co, till date, the Urhobos still control the fishing industry in Lagos. In entertainment, they own the comedy industry and are doing well in the movie industry, although still can't compare to the big two. In sports, Anioma trumps everyone.

Resources

Urhobo is the third highest producer of crude oil in Delta State, followed Isoko then Anioma with Itsekiri and Ijaw being the First and second.

pazienza , Mystiquefia, darfay

thank you ❤️ The aniomas r doing very well in the nollywood sector , and many other sectors u didn’t mention or know about . But it’s cool

Nwanyiogwashi:
We are not one and can never be one and i don't pretend about it

then It’s a big shame u r this ignorant ,, forming Igbo here , rather than identifying with ur fellow deltans, setting a margin between urhobos and aniomas , this is not how we roll , I know of many urhobos who can fight for okowa , and who voted for him. Don’t create hate in people’s hearts for absolutely nothing .

I really hate the fact we r comparing ourselves, we r special in different ways , and we collectively contribute to the growth of delta, please they want us to dispute among ourselves, can we stop it. Urhobos and aniomas are one as far delta state is concerned . I love all my urhobo and okpe friends , my itsheki friends also ... we r not like this abeg . Let’s not disgrace ourselves .
