Oh pleease... how many Igalas are in All of Anambra?
In Lagos state there are the Yorubas and the Guns, in Ondo, there are the Yorubas and the minority Ijaws.... There are also Baribas in Northern Oyo state, but just a tiny tiny minority.
That does not mean the SW isn't mono-ethnic, since more than 95% of the indigenes of the region are ethnically Yoruba.

The Eguns are not children of Oduduwa but by conquering of their land and subsequent recognition of Alaafin as the Supremo and payment of homage, they were protected within the commonwealth of the yoruba nation, especially from the marauding Fon tribes.

The yoruba nation conquered the coastal line up to Ghana.

Southsouth is a Nigeria invented political zone, and we like it as is. No Nation in the SS zone calls it a tribe. People give it up, enough of this nonsense. angry angry angry angry
no one is saying that it's not a political zone, what I think the op is saying is losing identity which I think is correct because, I have seen many people saying I'm from south south, or I'm a "Niger deltan" can you imagine that insolence. it's very insulting to bear that name.

Ikengawo you are wrong!

They call themselves Niger-Deltans and not South-Southerners.

Abeg go and do your research well!
All Ikengawo is trying to say is that the Niger Delta is not a bloc per se like the Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani etc

I am well aware of their status, that is why i listed them as a different ethnicity....
the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey itself was an Oyo vassal state for almost 100 years, until king Ghezo finally set them free.
but that is digressing from the topic at hand.

I use the term Nigerdeltan or deltan sometimes to indicate place not identity. The only people using it FOR tribal identity are the many impostors on these online forums.

But the constant nonstop bickering about the SS geo political zone is nauseating. If they had called it South central, many will still be opening threads and complaining today. SS is a Nigerian political lexicon, nothing more.

Ikengawo:
But I as an igbo man understand it's stupid to say i'm from 'southeast'. Can i speak southeast? The group is called Ohaneze Ndigbo, not Ohaneze Southeast.

Northerners also say 'Im from the North' but biko they're stupid people. A Fulani man, because they're the ones up there with marginally more sense will say they're Fulani unless they have an agenda that makes saying they're Northern more advantageous. Middle belters will say they're from 'middle belt', many will even hide the specific group and a lot of their kids don't know.

When i was in the US a lot of 'south south' and 'delta' kids didn't know their specific tribe unless they had gone to Nigeria to came from there. The ones born here just knew they were 'Nigerian' and 'From Niger Delta'. So northerners, middle belters and SS people have them mentality because I'm only speaking to SS people because I believe they're more reasonable. The rest are retarded and say what they say because of it.

A lot of Bini people say they're 'Edo' which is true to an extent, but it's also the reason their kids are very unlikely to know their language. I believe your culture starts a rapid death once you start calling yourself something that can't be linguistically defined. If i raise my child to believe he's 'Delta' and not 'Urobo' he'll think something as foolish as pidgin is his native tongue. SS people are at a particular disadvantage because they don't have the numbers to be lackadaisical about their language. If i want to learn Igbo or Yoruba I can do so without stepping foot in Igbo or Yoruba land because they're numerous, wide spread, and their identities are strong. If you tell an Ogoni kid in Lagos his 'Rivers' for his whole life, where will he learn his language? How?
so what are trying to say that a region with literacy rate of over 90percent housing numerous academic institution of note including the only petroluem uni in africa nd second in the world cannot distinguish btw their ethnicity nd geographical boundaries
you said we don't know our ethnicity dat our parents neva told us especially those does in the us. u should hav added dat they never christened us also since dey hav no idea where dey are from.#u don see ikengawo dullars abi#
Am an isoko guy frm SOUTH SOUTH so go hang urself. Mind u d isokos would be vast majority in countries lyk equatorial guinea,cape verd,luxemborg etc and u guys would be minority in china nd india. so jux give d minority tribes some respect ok

Re: South South: Learn Your Identity, South South Doesn't Exist by Nobody: 6:17pm On Jul 07, 2015
This people have accepted to be called SS and aren't too bothered about it. I wonder what your problem is about the whole issue.

The ibos of today lived in clans and never saw each other as one until the white man came and lumped them together based on the language they spoke.

Claiming the SS should stop regarding themselves as such is tantamount to trying to reduce their only bargaining power in the nigerian federation. Their cohesion is what gives them almost the kind of audience the 3 major tribes get. Breaking them into pieces will lower their voice, cos an ijaw or ibibio man can't struggle alone against the 3 major tribes unless he gets a region to back him.

At it been they don't see themselves as a region, do you think GEJ would have had the successes he had? The rest tribes in the SS would have abandoned him for his ijaw tribe alone.

Stop trying to divide them.

From your name I can tell you're from the North and I'm surprised you can type.
Being that you can type and don't have polio, I want to ask you, in your inbred life to explain which 'northern group' isn't a worthless 'gumbody'?

Are you not calling yourselves Hausa-Fulani? Are you not begging every other tribe to stay in 'Nigeria' because you can't feed yourself?
Is your budget not 100% Niger Delta oil?
The hausa kingdoms of Kano arre ruled by Fulani, while actual hausa people are begging. Fulani, who aren't Nigerian' are crawling all over Nigeria begging raping and killing. But their not gum body?

What about your worthless names? Can you show me somebody from your worthless region with a fully indigenous name?
you have no respect for your lord Fulani's, to beg and to force are not the same. Fulani's usma dafodio concer war to Edo I.e auchi and install emirate , also Yoruba's Oyo empire extend kingdom to warri, Edo , now IBO are begin asari dokubo for seceation.

South East is only for Igbos, the same way SW is to yorubas.

SS has diverse group of people ranging from Ijaws, Efiks,Ibibios, Itshekirsi, Esan Edinburgh, Urhobo, Annag, Ogoni, Ikweres, even Igbos.

Hence the appellation SS people.
