This is just comedy rubbish. The people of the midwest voted in a referendum to leave the western region due to Yoruba oppression. We will never be in a Yoruba nation. If Nigeria splits The old midwest will form it's own nation. If the Anioma Igbos decide to join Biafra in a referendum they will be free to do so. Edo and delta people are intertwined culturally and can form a stable and viable Bendel Republic.

Actually that's not why they left, that's just propaganda. Nearly 1/3 of the ministerial positions of the old western region was given to non-Yorubas.

If you were given a choice to have your independent state, then why wouldn't you want your own state to yourself? it's like saying Delta became a state because of they were being oppressed by the Binis.

Well Nigeria will never divided. But in other words I noticed something about southeast even during ojukwu lifetime he was looking for United southern Nigeria. Believe that the enemy are Fulanis and Hausa but the way he handled everything spoiled it.

I still believe that igbo and Yoruba get along very well regardless of our differences.

for once, u wrote something reasonable.

The Ibos in delta relate more with the urhobos than the Ibos in south east.
You can take this to the bank and cash it.

Ishi okpo there's no ibos anywhere in the world. We are Igbos. I know you're a slowpoke but don't display it blatantly.

Tinubuadvocate:
Urohobo always see Yoruba as his brother and Yoruba always see them as a brother too.I'm not surprised they always get along same political views even before the formation of Nigeria till today.

And for the people people these people are Yoruba but arrogant will not allow them they should swallow their pride and come back home they should stop fighting for supremacy Oduduwa is their progenitor.


For itsekiri these people great and God bless itsekiri territories.

Yoruba has her own historical flaws of with I'm working to further publicize.

Ijebu and itshekiri has the same yoruboid language and ijebu awujale who is the oldest king in southwest says ijebu part of Yoruba are not from oduduwa.
But Yoruba historian disagree with no prove.

For example if you go to mile two, mile twelve, Berger and the rest, most of the people, most of the guys you will see in those bus stops particularly in transport companies, most of them are from delta state and Edo ( urhobos In particular)

.

dose these lines means that deltans are agbero? wonders shall never end. Please someone should judiciously explain because iamnotunderstanding

One low life will just sit under his thatch house, compose rubbish after smoking weed and bring it to Nairaland politics section here and form an opinion.
Who the hell is this low life speaking for the whole of Bendel?

Are you sure the Benin's are up to 300,000 in population? Note, Benin not Edo; Akokos, Igbiras, Esans, Auchis and Ijaws aren't Benin's.

You want to form a Kingdom of 200,000 people with tiny land that can easily be conquered and annexed?

The Benin's are more than a million in population ....esan is about 1.5million ...
Then add etsako ...the total population of the edoid Edo is about 4.5 million bros......check facts don't talk rubbish

Good morning fellow NIGERIANS.
I am here this morning to write facts and nothing but the truth.

I have been reading some misconception about the people of the Niger deltans concerning Biafra.
Now let me tell you all facts.
An average person from delta state and Edo speaks Yoruba language very fluently, infact apart from English and our normal Edo, ijaw, urhobo, isoko and itsekiri language, our third most spoken language of the people of Niger Delta is the "Yoruba language"
You can take this to the bank and cash it anytime any day.

For example if you go to mile two, mile twelve, Berger and the rest, most of the people, most of the guys you will see in those bus stops particularly in transport companies, most of them are from delta state and Edo ( urhobos In particular)

But the way they speak Yoruba, you will think they are Yorubas.
Contrary to the normal general believe that lots of Igbos are in lagos, apart from the Yorubas who are the legit owners of Lagos State, the second highest concentration of people in lagos state are the people from delta state and Edo.

In Osun, Oyo, Ondo and the rest states of the Yoruba nation, the second most concentrated people in those states are the urhobos and the people from delta and Edo.

Have you been to Ile ife? There are more urhobos in Ile ife than in the entire south east.

The people of delta state and Edo are like twins to the Yoruba nation.
Africa magic Yoruba has the highest viewers from delta state and Edo even more than some Yoruba states, only Lagos top us when it comes to Africa magic Yoruba.
This is not mere propaganda or some lies, i am writing raw facts here.
The people of Niger Delta, delta and Edo and yourbas have this Lionel Messi/Suarez kind of relationship. The love is Genuine.

Do you know that 50% of people from delta, Bayelsa and Edo grew up in south west?

You will hardly ever see an ijaw man or urhobos or Edo, itsekiri man, leaving in south east, it's almost impossible.
Even looking at transportation. 99% of flights and busses coming out of delta, Edo and Bayelsa State are all heading to south west.

Have you been to ore?

My whole point is that i believe in one
Nigeria but if eventually Nigeria breaks, I don't know about Calabar or Akwa Ibom
but the ijaws in porthacourttt and entire deltans, Bayelsa and Edo will rather form a United Kingdom with oduduwas just like the united kingdom and Scotland with Lagos being England.

The Gods have spoken and so shall it be.

Court rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The united kingdom of oduduwas will be the most prosperous nation on earth.

Note!! I have nothing against the Ibos, i am only speaking raw truth.

No issue bro
The current Igbos prefer a homogenous East of the 5 Eastern States
No wahala, when we split peacefully, everyone will live their own dreams whether good or bad

Zooposki:


Lolz. As if you love them.

I don't have to love them, but I recognize them, we are brothers.

The edoid groups...I e Edo ,esan ,etsako,owan, isoko , urhobo are all the same and will go in same direction ....these groups has a population of over seven million and can form a well established country ....and I am very sure the ijaws will be part of it too, that is if they now want to form a niger delta republic that will encompass akwa ibom and cross rivers and parts of rivers
So make una chill ...lass lass naija nor go break

I think you're very right about Ojukwu
Inasmuch as all these online bants, hardly any Igbo-Yoruba confrontation on ground & aside politics they almost have same voice but I doubt both can form same entity so it's best everyone be their own peace

gidgiddy:
If Nigeria breaks up, its most like that much of the Igbo speaking part of Delta State, some times known as Anioma or Delta Igbos, will join their kith and kin in the East

It is hard for someone to leave those he speaks the same language with, to join those he cant understand anything they are saying

I notice most of you here are young south Nigerians. Keep fighting between yourself like your grandparents did. Better unite yourself and fight your common enemy. Northerners know this very well and they will always use it against southerners . Divide and rule . Last last when crisis start for North them no de ask if you be igbo or bini, or delta state they assume all people from that region are igbo if doubt ask your friend that served in North .if them start their killing them de kill any thing wey no be northern. Them no go ask you if you be yoruba Muslim or not . Make una better common together and defend una region . I don talk my own.

CardiNice:
You don't know anything at all.
90% of the ibos in delta state, their children go to school in Abraka, the polys in delta more than they go to school in south east.

You can take this to the bank and cash it.

same goes for the people of owerri who go to futo and imsu. your argument doesnt hold water

One clown will just wake up and start spewing concussive nonsense from his ogogoro-addled brain cells, I'm a proud Enuani man and I have absolutely no socio-cultural affinity with yorubas, many Deltans grew up in the South west especially Lagos, Ibadan and Ondo (Urhobos especially) because we were once under the Western region and as such its normal to integrate with the yoruba society, I can't speak for other Delta groups, but please Enuani have always been profoundly proud of our Igbo roots and you won't see any trace of Igbo denial in the Aniocha/Oshimili axis, if you want to divide us with our Igbo kinsmen and roots with this garbage post then you've failed woefully. Secondly the Ukwuani are the ones closer to Urhobos not us, the Ika are closer to the Benin, while the Urhobos who are the largest single ethnic group in Delta state are an Edoid proto-group. The only people close to the Yorubas are the Itshekiri. Lastly you will be stupid to think a proud Edo man with his rich historical background will be under Oduduwa Republic, don't dare go to Edo state and say that nonsense because Uromi boys go design your destiny with heavy beating.

u are a fuul. How many people are the binis or esans that they can manage a country??

They can come together leave the online banners . Igbos and yoruba people have lived together for long time. I never hear anytime wey igbo and yoruba de fight unlike everyday housa and yoruba fight . There is no difference between yourba and igbo man . Na northerners de create de division.

Landgrabber!!!
Aside the Igboid parts of old Midwest, the oduduwa can swallow up the other Edoid and Ijoid parts.
On the other hand, they can serve as a buffer btwn the Igboid realm and the Yoruba realm

Which one is Igbo realm and Yoruba realm?

These Bini people sef.. Truly they are afraid of what they did at cable point asaba..

After massacring men of Anioma you guys are now claiming to own delta���..

It's better you guys seek for forgiveness from these Anioma people and stop laying claims to. Their territory..


I hope u have not forgotten what Nigerian soilders mostly from Benin did at cable point..

Now u guys are claiming to own this land..


The spirit of those innocent 5000 Biafrans or as may sound today.. Your fellow bendelers you killed at cable point will devour you..


You claim bendel out of love or just to punch above your weight..

Those asaba sons will surely payback.. And you may not want to share a little country with them where their population is more than yours.. Because we know it was soilders mostly from Benin that massacred Anioma sons..

It was the Hausas that the Biafrans Slaughtered at Cable Point in Asaba. when Biafra invaded the Midwest Region

Get your facts right.



From Gen alabi isama’s book “Tragedy of Victory “

“The Biafran troops
broke the barricade on Niger River bridge and
went straight to a place called “Ogbe Hausa” at the
cable point; where the Hausa community lived.
Biafran troops pounced on them and killed many of
them. The few that escaped were mowed down at
Onitsha end, the people jubilated.”

Bendel can never be part of Biafra or Oduduwa coming from an insider....

So don't get it twist up

It's not about your opinion but the realistic facts

One thing is for sure

You see EDO STATE that state can be a country of its own and they won't lack
They have it all I must be honest

They don't behave like the Yorubas , in fact it's only Benin city that you can find few people who speaks yoruba fluently not every other part of the state

Edos are business wise
Politically ok
Scammers yeah , they're top notch
They have pretty ladies you can't take that from them
They're internationally recognized whether for good or bad reasons lol
Witches and wizards
Musically good , with the likes of Rema, Dremo, Johny drille, cynthia morgan to mention a few

Now that's why they're the only state in Nigeria abi UAR with the motto

My Ikwerre friend hates Igbos with passion, I don't know why? He even says they're more comfortable with Yorubas.

They are scared Ndigbo are going to come after them for their properties they took over and called them abandoned after the war if Ndigbo become strong again but they don't know that this generation is not interested in them.
Even Wike's fathers house was an Igbo man's abandoned property, the same with Ken Saro Wiwa.
Ask anyone you know from Rivers state

ShopperspaddyNG:
You are very mad for writing such rubbish. Are you from Edo or Delta? Have you compared the people of the aforementioned states to that of yorubas and compared their characters? An Edo or delta person does not behave like yorubas in anyway. So shut up and stop spewing trash.

An Edo man does not see himself as a Yoruba or Igbo, we have similar traits with people of Niger delta.

Delete this post before .....

You speak ignorantly because you don't know your history. Maybe because you're not taught.
Bayelsa bear Yoruba names. Yoruba is visible in Edo language, history and culture.

We are speaking fact here not Ipob propaganda or insults
