Like I said, you suffer from a deficiency of English language.

tonyxxx:
Nice & educative post but a part of no 18 where you said nembe & Ogbian people speak a cross river language is absolutely wrong. Nembe is an autonomous ijaw tribe & it's well documented in history as their ijaw language is the official language of the brass people spoken by the inhabitants of that region.

genieluv:
@ OP, frathermathy, nice post.

I am from the middlebelt, so lemme help correct some little mistakes about the middlebelt ethnic groups here.

First of all it is JUKUN by spelling n not JUNKUN or JUNKUM as u spelt in some places. lol

>>>>Also, your number 22, Tivs were never part of Wukari federation.
Wukari federation was the successor state to the old Kwararafa kingdom after the kingdom was divided by internal divisions and jihad attacks from the Sokoto caliphate jihadists.

So, Wukari federation only consistes of the Jukuns, Kutebs, Ichens, Chambas, Jibu, Wapans and many other similar ethnic groups of Kwararafan descent in present day Southern Taraba, buh if you talk about the older Kwararafa kingdom which was the predecessor state to Wukari federation, that's where the Idomas, Igedes, Igbirras, some Igalas, Alagos, Mumuyes and many other dozens of middlebelt ethnic groups in Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Adamawa and even Cross river states come in.
Thanks.

17. Ikwerre, Ekpeye and Ogba (Akalaka brothers) speak loosely related Igboid languages. They trace their history to Benin like the Edoid groups. Ikwerre is the dominant ethnic group in Rivers State.

GodIsBiafran:
Fake Niger Deltans all over this thread including the OP. They are using Nigerian wuruwuru to divide up Biafran land. The only part of Niger Delta that is not Biafran is Edo and Ondo (and maybe Olukunmi people - the are from Yorubaland). All the rest are Biafran. Don't let the OP fool you.

Abagworo:


Sometimes it is unwise to dabble into something you know not about using beer palour gist as your source.

I cannot say for Ogba and Ekpeye but Ikwerre isn't any Akalaka brother or whatsoever. There definitely were influence from Ekpeye at the west end just like there was Okrika to the South and Ogoni to the East but your information is flawed. Ikwerre and Etche are more related than those Akalaka people. Okpo Nwagidi is the father of Ikwerre and migrated out of Etcheland first before dispersing with his people to Isiokpo, Omuanwa, Omuagwa etc. with later migrations westwards and eastwards to occupy the vast area we have today. Ikwerre had no monarchy and does the Oha system which can be found in Etche and parts of Imo State.

The similarity in language is same as seen in all Igbo speaking people apart from Ekpeye.

TheUmbra:
You're without shame, cursed with the same myopia I've seen afflicting many of your tribes men.

Buffoon! Arrogant quack! You're defining what is what and who is who in another man's ancestral lineage and affinity. While lumping urhobos and Isoko as one you tore the Anoimas into tiny groups. Bloody wizard! Idiocentric bastàrd! Anioma is one! We're the largest ethnicity in Delta State with the most LGAs.

Idiot! Come and teach me my history.

Oh, Urhobo is fifth largest ethnic group in Nigeria just as Cameroon is the biggest country in Africa.
Orué! Ekpa! Mumu!

Fearlez:



how many people have echoed my submission now? Silly fool like you. And you even have the brass to say they have been conditionally recognised.

Flaming wizard.

fratermathy:


Noted.

Efewestern:


itsekiris are not surrounded by ijaw all through. this map is not correct, and also itsekiri is not landlocked which this image portray.

obiezed:
Nice article, but wrong on some points,
Anioma is not just acronym,but the name of the indigenous people for their land,it means fair earth or good land if you will,their dialects differ according to communities but is divided into 2 ,enuani meaning upland and ukwuani corrupted to kwale meaning low lands,they are not igboid but their own Igbo speaking people.
These present day demarcation and state creations are man-made and not natural.
Notice,the ndoni of rivers,ukwuani of delta and oguta of Imo state have virtually the same dialects.they are just face to face across each other on the river Niger.

Just saying.though.

Zhirinovsky:
Someone will just wake up concote rubbish about what he knows nothing about!

ANIOMA IS NOT A MINORITY!!! ANIOMA IS IGBO!!
If ANIOMA is ethnic group,then ijebu too is an ethnic group different from Yoruba!

Fearlez:
The boy emboldened ignorance tire me.

Itsekiris is Land-lock

The same quack who defined the Niger Delta region to comprise just the Urhobos, Ijaws and Itsekiris!

Fearlez:
so his ethno-political madness has a history known here.

Urhobo wayo

fratermathy:


I would love to see a source for that assertion you ascribed to me.

fratermathy:


@Bolded: you just got me reeling.


Anyway, when I say Niger Delta, I'm referring to the Geographical Niger Delta region which houses the Ijaws, Itsekiris, Urhobo, Kalabari. I do not mean the cultural and sociopolitical Niger Delta.

Meanwhile, the ANIOMA nation is sociopolitically a Niger Deltan nation just like the Ikwerres and Andonis but they are not in geographical proximity with the Niger Delta.

Urhobo wayo

Efewestern:


you could have pointed out the error before attacking the op.

before you guys arrived we were all having a nice discussion and I pointed out some errors in his map which he accepted was wrong.

it's obvious you are not again this article ,but against his person.

I would advice fratermathy to limit his articles to Urhobo/isoko and itsekiri, to avoid been attacked by your likes.


Good day.
