NEVER!!! The only thing that unites Deltans is the word "Igbo" they used to use Igbo people to threaten us as kids "if you don't go home during holidays, Igbo people will take over, if you don't learn to speak your language, people will assume you're Igbo, if you're not careful, you will marry Igbo".

Nigeria is very conflicted, we really cannot set aside inter-tribal differences, the only way to do so is to ban centuries of culture and language. Which would be an awful thing to do.

Which is why it's better for conflicting parties to mind their business and manage what they have in their land.
I blame the British, because jst like Nigeria at large, they jst packaged warri as one town without trying to know if there were different tribes having their own villages

Onegai:
Lol, I'm from one of the places in Delta you just mentioned. I assure you, we are not asking for any Igbo help, nor do we have Igno brothers over the River Niger.
I don't know any Agbor or Ukwani person that will say "yep I'm Igbo". It's so bad that someone was at funeral of an Agbor man and started playing Igbo christian music. His kids rushed to to remove the tape and threw it at his head. Even my nephews are being taught not to marry anything after the Niger river. So please, do not be concerned about us. We thank you for the thought, but don't go to those areas and say "your Igbo brothers are concerned about your welfare", I don't know you but 2015 is not your time to transcend this Earth say amen. It's so bad that I once attended mass in Agbor (went there for something) and during the sermon the Rev Fr preached in English, then switched to Igbo. People actually got up and walked out during the sermon, to show their displeasure. That was when I realised how deep their emotions were.

Na so delta state be?
See too much diversity is not good for a country

Listen, the bible mentions that Samson's hair grew, for he did not cut it, into locks or braids. Now the hair of caucasians/middle eastern peoples I know does not grow into locks but rather long, wavy, and flowy. On the other hand, when a black man lets his hair grow for some time, it grows into locks naturally without any artificial effects whatsoever done to it. That is a strong pointer to the race of Samson, a hebrew.

Notice that the bible hardly gave the race or skin colour of ancient Hebrews however when Cain was born, the bible mentioned 'he came out red all over', indicating his differing skin colour from the 'general' Hebrew colour. If ancient hebrews were already of similar colour to him or mixed-race or brown, would Cain's skin colour make any difference to be of note in the bible?

why not check out the hair texture of berbers, Lebanese, Palestinians, Arabs am sure you will see many fitting with Samson's

You should read ur Bible more, I am sure Cain wasn't born red(if he existed) and even if he was, the Bible doesn't tell

bigfrancis21:
Hebrews at the time of Jesus' birth were scattered all over and in neighbouring towns. When Joseph was told to run and hide with Jesus, why was he not instructed to go to neighbouring nations such as light-skinned-race Jordan (or whatever it was called back then). Palestine e.t.c where Hebrews were also to be found in numbers, given their travelling tendencies? Why were they asked to run and hide in Egypt instead?

The bible in the book of Amos mentions:

In the book of Amos chapter 9: we will now see Israel being compared to Ham (Khawm) first born son Cush / Ethiopians.

Verse 7 says "ARE YOU NOT AS CHILDREN OF THE ETHIOPIANS UNTO ME, O CHILDREN OF ISRAEL?".

Isn't it a strong indication of the skin colour of Isrealites? Are the Ethipiopians as we know them today a light-skinned people?

If for anything, Jesus of ancient times would look like this:

https://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o508/aikens94/black-jesus.jpg

Amos 9 talks of Israel being as sinful as other nations, notably Ethiopia...in the entire chapter there's no place the issue of skin was brought up

I'll like you to take this passage
Jeremiah 13:23 "can the Ethiopian(cushite) change his skin? Can the leopard his spots? Then may ye do good that are accustomed to do evil"
Here we see the issue of skin...very simple and straight forward with the words chosen
If the Hebrew and cushites had the same skin tone what was so special about a cushitic skin that Jeremiah talked in such a manner? Obviously the case here is that they are of different skin

16. The book of Acts has no definite timeline, it's called the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES as compiled by Luke...so u are wrong to say the apostles had not started preaching to gentiles...many of whom were into judaism already

17. Can you provide the source to Tacitus assertions?

18. The Justinian coins of yahshua show different descriptions to the man

19. Can you show us video of Jews turning white while suffering from hunger and famine?
Btw even u agree that brown people turn black at such harsh conditions...

20. The idea of Hebrews having locks is nothing to suggest they were Negros...locks simply means ringlets of hair, don't confuse it with dreadlocks...and even at that The stock of people the Hebrew belonged to were like the people of carthage who had much locks...but carthage wasn't a black country, although we had cases of dark skinned berbers who spilled their genes on the Carthaginians...still Berbers aren't Negro neither were the Carthaginian lockers
Go to the middle east u still see locks

21. In what language does Ur stand for ORR meaning fire oven? The area which Abraham came was typical Mesopotamian cultured, I doubt if the population there was mixed

@bigfrancis21

Here's my reply
1. Although many people don't realize this but Abraham, Isaac and even Jacob had servants who must have followed them into Egypt and mingled with them(if the story was ever true..considering Egyptologists haven't found evidence to Hebrew presence in Egypt)

2. Ham(Kham) doesn't mean black in Hebrew, "Shakur" means black, "Cush" is actually close as it means "burnt" jst like Greeks called Cushites "Aethiops"(root of Ethiopia) meaning the same thing. The name was a racial term for the Hebrew neighbors who were of a darker complexion...the blackest they knew of. Jeremiah 13:23 proves the Hebrews were of a different skin tone from the Ethiopians(Cushites)

3. Your idea of Joseph being recognisable among a band of Egyptians is hilarious
I. So a Minister is light skinned in the mist of blacks, it was so easy for Pharaoh to appoint a foreigner who was currently serving a jail term. how many foreigners do you think,Egypt must have appointed as ministers?
II. If Joseph's brothers couldn't recognise him in Egypt even if they saw him in China they won't still recognise him...it has nothing do with the race of people Joseph lived amongst, because no matter where he lived they wouldn't have resigned him
III. Egypt was a mixed race civilization of Black and light-brown stock typical to others around North Africa of the Mediterranean coast

4. during the burial of Jacob, all Egyptian elders including chiefs of Pharaoh plus their multitude of Egyptian military entourage were present...it's only logical to deduce that the Egyptian population overshadowed the Hebrews who were nt more than Joseph and his brothers leaving the children back home, nothing was said about their wives(verse 7&8

5. At the case of Moses, do we know what excuse Pharaoh's daughter gave as the result of a white baby? Considering there was a population of brown Mediterranean skinned Egyptians in the North.

6. You have no basis to conclude that Pharaoh sought to kill Moses for being Hebrew...the Bible says Pharaoh sought to kill him for killing an Egyptian(verses 11-15)
The Bible didn't even say if pharaoh knew he was Hebrew blood or not

7. Omg! This is manipulation. Do you think the issue of race will come up in the face of evidence provided by clothing in such an era of human existence.
are the daughters of Jethro(Reuel) witches

8. Seriously?? fair complexion is equal to white snow? are caucasians in Europe of the same skin colour as Snowmen?

9. The Bible showed in that same chapter that the Jewish god was in approval of the union between Moses and an Ethiopian...so it wasn't about Yahweh hating other nations, it was about the Jews themselves and how different they saw themselves from other nations like the Egyptians did too

10. A light brown(olive skin) person can suffer from leprosy..there's nothing to it that drives ur point

11. During the time of Paul there was already a large population of Interbreeding between Egyptians, Hyskos and Greeks...the blacks were dying out fast

12. Herod had no authority in Egypt, a light skinned baby in Egypt is safe from Herod....there was no record of Herod seeking Roman proconsul help

13. Amos 9:7 will be understood if u read the whole chapter which describes Israel as having become sinful like other nations...nothing about skin in the whole chapter

14. I guess by ur logic of the Ethiopian eunuch... the wife of Moses was actually Hebrew because Yahweh approved of his union..right?

15. Surely Simeon that was called Niger wasn't Hebrew...we can only guess his nationality but at that time few Nubians, Egyptians and Ethiopians were already coverting to christianity. The fact that people called him Niger(nigga ) means others were not niggas. There's no place in the Bible where he was called that for fun of nicknames

literarymathy:
This is a calculated statement owing to the fact that all the tribes in Warri Axis are migrants. I am also avoiding stating or implying that Warri belongs to any ethnic group. That part is left for you, the reader, to answer.

If I am to add - based on what I have studied so far,
Ijaw are an old people who are as old as the Niger delta lands, moving all around looking for suitable positions for farming and fishing nt necessarily for permanent settlement.
Itsekiri came last but found no authority to the land from the ijaw off and on fishermen Urhobo seemed have already settled but Itsekiri placed a government and established a kingdom before the rest.
They knew what they wanted from the beginning

zeezboy:
if u want 2 talk abat warri metropolis, jst 4get abat d itsekiris cos d urhobos occupies over 60% of warri metropolis!

Mainly due to moving out of their communities. Itsekiri have the most communities...I don't know about the total landmass

Ahmeduana:
SO YOU ARE AN IJAW GUY? AND YOU KNOW THAT ALOT OF INJUSTICE HAVE BEEN MELTED ON YOU GUYS STILL YOU ARE CONNIVING WITH YOUR ENEMIES TO DENIE YOUR BROTHER AN IJAW PERSON IS RIGHTFUL OR LEGITIMATE MANDATE! mind you am an yoruba person by right of father while my mother is from warri. My main reason of supporting a niger delta person is have been living in the northern region for the past 19year, my decision of supporting is not base on sentiment but on what i know of the hausa. IF YOU ASK ME TO GIVE OR TRANSLATE WORD HAUSA INTO ENGLISH, I WILL SIMPLY SAY "GREEDINESS" yes greediness hausa sense of justice is GIVE 100 TO 10 FOR SHARE, HAUSA ALONE WILL WANT TO TAKE 9...

You know it's actually saddening. Barcanista needs someone to really advise him

sauceny:
Human beings don't own land,rather the lands own humans... Cos we all would die & the lands are still there.

Now coming to your question:i think no one owns it in particular,cos none of em has the power to drive/pursue the other outta town.

True. it's mother earth that owns us all

How much have southern leaders given to the fight against Boko Haram?

Until bigoted Nigerians see that this is a national problem and not a regional one can only then Nigeria become the nation it's meant to be.

It doesn't concern you that the military is weaker than Chad? I'd say even Togo and Rep. Of Benin can conquer Nigeria right now in its current pitiful state, and yet people still want a puppet in power who bows and kisses the arses of the French and white colonial powers. Do Nigerians really have such low standards?

I'm not saying that Buhari is all that great either, but he certainly based on his past transgressions against Chad would never have allowed Nigeria which is the largest country in Africa mind you to be in such a pitiful state. It still surprises me to see the mindset of most Nigerians who don't understand the big picture of this problem.

Buhari was governor of eastern Nigeria and sure he was a good military leader in the case of the Chadian menace...likewise Northern governors should help GEJ and stop their laziness.
Your leaders are the ones wishing you all dead by doing nothing

You don't have beef with me,so what was the schooling me about aliens all about? You don't have to comment if you do not like what I'm saying.

I don't have to see knowledge from babalawos or Ifa priests who all have limited knowledge. I have met with Yemoja and the rest,why should I need a babalawo who couldn't come close to the water I entered huh?

Its best you keep your distance and I will stay on my lane.

Then kindly take out oduduwa from ur alien obsession

Radoillo:
Indeed. The French did a 'good work' of 'frenchifying' the mentality of their African colonials. Even Senghor with all his 'negritude' stuff couldn't shrug off his 'Frenchness'.

But I also wonder at British ex-colonies like Ghana where one language (akan) is the native language of more than half of the population. One would expect them to at least have an arrangement where Akan has official status alongside English.

Lol, it's actually very true

Mrval20:
It's the Hausa/Fulani tribe, and I'm not saying this because of the landmass. The Hausa/Fulani tribe (not just Hausa or Fulani, it's combined) has the largest population in Nigeria.
.
Igbos being located across the length and breadth of planet Earth simply shows the hustling spirit and adaptation ability of the tribe and does not in any way depict a massive population.

Smh. wat concerns Ijaw with Bantu?

McSterling:
Can you please intimate me about what you think Oduduwa is/was. Was he not a man?

Oduduwa comes to point to two things
1. A human king who came from a North easternly city, he found favour among the people of Ife and became Oba and first suzerain of the region known today as Yorubaland
2. A spirit present after the initial expansion of the Universe to create form and structure

a director in shell cannot officially make 10 million dollars so easily abeg. and pls madam diezani is actually worth billions of dollars. abeg see the gap, the raw diamonds that she uses for outing with her hand bags cost nothing less than 70 million naira.

We are saying the same thing. She's wealthy enough to afford private jets

ifeness:
OK what is your truth Mr Oduduwa? I'm listening! Besides,I don't believe in aliens. My gran dad was an Ifa priest mind you. Just to let you know you are not speaking to someone who has no Traditional background. Its seems you have a deep beef for me...kindly let it out.

I am nt a Babalawo, it's best u seek ur granddad or his Awo clique(if he has any)
Let them tell u about the Odu Ogunda where oduduwa first appeared and maybe Osa meji to help understand it's power
Because even I haven't finished learning

I don't have any beef with you abeg

Actually Society is better of with secular minded people. Religion or atheism doesn't set a standard for morality

Now do you blame the Muslims or Christians who radically defend their Mohamed and Jesus? Too bad you have a giant Oduduwa picture at a corner on your room sir. What have you done about the original pot of Shango and Ife head laying in the British museum? Don't you think that is even a bigger insult? I have no reason to worship Oduduwa,I look for truth and knowledge Babalawo cannot offer.

Smh. oduduwa is no Mohamed or Jesus. Oduduwa is a Yoruba concept that has nothing to do with aliens ur obsession with aliens has driven you to put oduduwa has ur victim of distortion, you claim to be Yoruba which is a big shame u.

The very reason why u dare nt seek knowledge about the full concept of oduduwa is because u want it to remain an alien idea in ur head...if u truly seek knowledge as u claim you would seek a Babalawo or the oduduwa shrine Aworo in Ile-Ife.
This is nt something u read from internet and say "yes alien" to feel good about urself thereby spreading total false information due to ur ignorance about wat oduduwa actually represents among the Yoruba

PLS try and get facts not pdp tori tori.diezani was never chaiman of shell.she was only a director abeg.

You did see something like "I think" in my statement right?
I am nt pdp fan, half the people in apc are from pdp. I support justice and hate hypocrisy which APC are full of

being director in shell is "only"?? You think she doesn't worth over 10million dollars?

Ovamboland:
Ewoo! did you say that or it was a mistake? A minister misapplies money entrusted in her care, is discovered and your next expectation is for the citizens to take her to court? Joke of the century, so why do we have an executive arm of government headed by Jonathan including Attorney general, public prosecutors etc.
So if police arrests an armed robber with good evidence he is let loose if the victims living or dead refuse to press charges?

Our educational system needs serious overhaul, walahi!

I believe the senate had her case reviewed and they did nothing, or it's GEJ that controls the senate.
Lets leave ordinary citizens out, am sure APC - the ultimate corruption fighters- should have taken her to court if they thought they had strong enough case against her

Ovamboland:
Really disappointed in this post, i actually thought you were smart. Diezani was not chairman of shell to start with, and even if she was have you asked how many past and present chairmen of Shell earn enough to buy jets from their income?

The 10 Billion spent hiring jets is not from her income, it is money that could have made huge diffrence in the lives of hundreds of Nigerians if properly channeled.
If it was her money, who cares?

And wat am I to do because you are disappointed??
I jst checked wikipedia she was Executive director of Shell
Her husband a freaking retired admiral and former governor
Her family has no problem providing 10million dollars...if you think not then show us how she stole money from public funds and stop making ridiculous claims jst show proof

Why not go query Tinubu for his vast enterprises and hotels he acquired since 1999, before which he had nothing
Your hypocrisy is epic

ifeness:
Do you have a problem with me expressing my opinion? Most of the time I do not agree with some of your opinions do I attack you? I am a full Yoruba still and I am intrigued regarding his coming down from the sky via a chain. I ask questions like everyone,I don't just believe thing,I have thoughts. Someone with mental problem won't ask question. I don't need Pastors or Babalawos to explain things to me.

You spent time educating me? How? When? What do you know?

I have told u the idea behind the oduduwa story many times, you still want to keep spreading alien talks around oduduwa.
It's nt jst ur opinion because it affects the entire Yoruba people, you need Babalawo to learn the full story and interpret it, this is nt a case open to Novice to give their "opinion"
if u don't want others to comment talk about ur father not the father figure of an entire ethnic nation.
