Thundafireseun:
And your point is

No Igbo State is homogeneous.

jamesversion:
Bayelsa has the smallest population in Nigeria. Bayelsa is not a big state, it is waterlogged with small land areas. Nothing big about an 8 LGA state with 1.5million residents in 2006 (approximately 3M today).

If Bayelsa cannot use its oil revenue to develop herself now, a time is coming when she may not be able to.

You don't know Bayelsa.

South East put together is 508 Kilometers smaller than Kogi State and is roughly the size of Oyo State.

Below are the tribes in each State of the South East.


Abia have Igbos and Ndoki Ijaws as well as Ohafia Ijaws


Anambra have Igbos and Igalas


Enugu have Igbos and Idoma as well as Igala

Imo have Igbos as well as Egbema Ijaws.


60 percent of Ebonyi is made up of Cross River State tribes.

happney65:
What is beautiful about yenogoa or Bayelsa as a whole? The smallest state in Nigeria yet they have one of the most corrupt leaders in Nigeria.

With all their oil money,na so so chop chop them dey do with little or no growth

Their only business is Politics. Them and that yeye Delta state

Nonesense!

Bayelsa is bigger than 10 Nigerian States.

Bayelsa is 573 km2 bigger than Imo and Anambra States put together.

Blakjewelry:
The only government that have significant effect on the state is the first government that is alams government all the rest na mad men.

That state is one of the top earners in Nigeria, I dey vex like seriously for that state.

Bayelsa is not small place.
Stop talking what you don't know.

Blakjewelry:
Wetin you wan tell me wey I never see. With all the revenue being accrue to state. The only state that is dedicated to the ijaws and they couldn't put all their effort to make it a jewel.

Bros?

Bayelsa have over 600 Communities and Yenagoa is just one place.


All developments can't go there in a new State like Bayelsa.

3 LGAs belong to Ijaw.
We only speak of Ndoki in Ukwa East and West before but now Ohafia is included




ANDONI MY ANDONI

War canoes boom the cannon
Migrating their way in the hinterland
They sat at Ayama
But their brethren zoomed other routes
Even the River loitomba

Estuaries passed by their house
And the visitor visited from a far country
Grabbing their brothers, children and sisters
For servitude and honour
They smile with a mirror
And their blind kings waved at the smiling mirrors
So they exchanged us for broken glasses
And a bracelet of war

Descendants of warriors
Both of Benin, Ijo and Urombi
Clusters of migration and tinted tales
They war like food with wars
And settled like siblings of different parents
They were four then seven and now twenty one

Ayama soon became Asarama-toru
Ebon-Isebeke later Ukwakpo
And they move like tattered flags in a storm
And their storylines broken like a mended wall

Ibani came to Ayama
As a hunter he swum through the estuary
Aboriginal people dwell before their hunting
Alabie, Unyeada, Ukwa, Ilotomb were there
Not before Ekede, Unyeangala, Okuka, Isiagba.
Ebon-egile was among them
In the naming of Agana, Asarama and Egwede
Ntafit was an ancestor, rooting the boundaries
Of Qua-Ibo river even River nkotoro.

Andoni is an Idoni people
Scattered in their numbers among Ohafia
Oron, Ido even Tombia and Ogoloma
Andoni of ancient heritage
Her maiden name is Obolo
And her voice speaks Obolo
Yet she is Andoni

Okwala and Isiama were twin brothers
Of ancient ecstasy and libations
But okwala travelled far

Yet Ukwa, and Egendem are among the intercesors
Andoni the oldest ancestor of Ijaw east
Travelled from distant lands of war and valour
Controlled trades and routes.

In their prayers
Okotete, Okot Mboko Okot-iti, and Ibat-Obolo
Are a solemn rendition of enchantment.

But this Andoni
Interspersed with many renditions
And mystic meat outweighs her opiom
Andoni my Andoni
