Don't know about Isiokpo. Okpara does not mean first born in Urhobo. It's just the name of a place. Eni means elephant but don't assume that Urhobos borrowed it from Igbo or that Urhobos must come from Igbo because of that mthe languages are mutually unintelligible and not even related linguistically.

Urhobos also share many words with Bini, Ijaw, Itsekiri and Yoruba so there's nothing special here. These are things which occur when cultures collude.

Efewestern:
Agbon are not in any way related to igbo, for the fact that we share similar name doesn't mean they have same meaning with igbo. can you point out the igbotic words here?

BlackPantherxXx:

The bolded part is so true I feel like shedding tears for them. They would rather asslick non-entities in Yorubaland like FFK and Fayose rather than their own leaders. Can you imagine that the late Ojo Maduekwe said "any Igbo who wants to be President is mad" When late Alex Ekwueme was contesting against OBJ for PDP ticket ?

For the next 20-30 years, an Igbo man won't even smell Presidency. Nnamdi Kanu with his foolishness cemented that. Which Hausa man would vote for an Igbo? If ALL the political parties have Igbo candidates ...that's when u would see real abstinence from voting.

[s]When will Nigerians begin to read between the lines. Some people some where are just playing politics we the lives of the citizens just because of power.

The same thing that we saw in the PDP government is the same thing playing out in this government.

There aim is to discredit the current government. But the question is why should it be with the lives of innocent people.


All our politicians are not innocent. [/s]

And Kano??

Lagos had been developed while their grandfathers were still living in thatched houses.

Even till now, none of five glorified villages is this developed.

Only a fool will leave his father's hut unkempt to clean strangers' mansion.

When d men fight finish. The women take over the gossip. For your weakling mind, Yoruba fit defeat Igbo's in war? Think again cos you might be thinking wrongly.

The Biafra war was a war of Igbo vs the whole Nigeria. It lasted for 3 solid years. The foot soldiers that fought that war on Nigeria side were majorly middle beltans. Benue and plateau. So I wonder where weak Yoruba's come into d picture.

I pray for an opportunity for Igbo and Yoruba to square it out and settle this una big mouth for once

Otedola is a hypocrite, he greets Oni of ife by Handshake, now hs postrating for a abokki bastrrds that ruined Nigeria.

Nigeria equally has oil money. Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey are not rich in oil resources. Had it been that 'Biafra' or Niger Delta had a country, they would have been killing each other like the equally Christian South Sudan. When the Niger Delta and 'Biafra' had nothing, it was the resources of the North that the Nigerian government used to develop the oil blocks, so try to see the Northern resource use as an investment.

Historically, before your Christian colonisers came to Africa and kidnapped your grandfathers to be their slaves, and stole your resources to develop their countries, Muslim empires were what made Africa, like the Mali, Songhai, Fulani empires...it was Islam that made Africans civilised then.
The North's so-called 'backwardness' today is due to the coloniser's destruction of all those who would not bow to them.
If you think you are developed now because of the widespread nudity and irresponsible sexual habits that make up civilisation today, it is probably only because your grandfathers were subservient to their British masters...hardly something to be proud of.

Farmerforlife:
If that was the case, then why are there countries like Brunei, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Indonesia, Malaysia..all practising the same religion, but much richer on the index than the Christian parts of Nigeria?
Did you think before you said that, or were you just fishing for some statement to showcase your resentment at Islam?
