Mr Afam, I dont have time to go into a shouting/insulting match with you. Just proceed to understand the meaning of the words you used. Fine the Anthropological definition of Ethnic group and Tribe. It will educate u well enough to the extent that you would not need to look for whom to insult.


In this assertion, The IGBOS whose population is over 40 Million have been labelled one ethnic group, But Cross river(less than 4 million people) alone have over 20 ethnic groups. Why should the SE alone be the geopolitical zone in nigeria that have one ethnic group and the remaining 5 geopolitical zones in nigeria have average of 60 ethnic groups each.


An Ethnic Group is a group of tribes.......Digg it.

Its only in nigeria that each village is an ethnic group...

Your case is indeed pathetic.
now listen and listen good.
a. Igbos across the Niger (from anambra to wherever their boundary lie) from time immemorial nine out of ten times will refuse to accept you guys as true Igbo. they say those ones nor be real Igbo.

b. some of your own folks deny the igbos across the Niger saying those ones are "across the niger". we are Delta ibo

If you lived in Delta state for at least 10 years these are arguments and terms you should be familiar with.

so it beggars belief to come here and display crass ignorance and attempt to turn history on its head while spewing insults in the process as if that's the only way y'all know to drive home a point.

you are free to join your brothers across the Niger but remember you are already classified as second class citizens by the same igbos you are here clamoring to join the so called land of the sun and remember also that you will have to leave Delta state because you cannot have your cake and eat it.

Stop it already man. You want to drag Warri here too?
Warri is in Delta South. Warri South is occupied by Okere-Urhobo, Agbassa-Urhobo and Itsekiri. Abi?

The Baruba people of Kwara State occupying the Baruteen Local Government in the State with headquarter in Kosubosu are one of the most hospitable and peace loving people. We have some of them also on Benin Republic. They speak the Bantunu Language and their major towns and Cities include Kosubosu, Gwanara, Ilesa-Baruba, Okuta, Yashikira, Niki and so on. They are mostly agrarian in occupation and predominantly Muslims.

Afam4eva:

Cross Rivers is a state and not an ethnic group. The tribes.ethnic groups in the state don't speak the same language.

fratermathy:


Well said. Your explanation seems plausible. At least you made your point like a rational being. But you should also know that Ukwuani and Ika are taught in schools as a separate language from Igbo. The languages, especially Ukwuani, are mutually unintelligible with Igbo, even to one another.

fratermathy:


I created a thread in 2015 concerning the Warri ownership saga and it even made FP then.

Warri is a very volatile place but let me attempt to present you with some facts:

1. The traditional "Warri" is an Itsekiri enclave and the name seems to be derived from Itsekiri as well.
2. The modern Warri is largely made up of Urhoboland, with some parts of Itsekiriland.
3. The cosmopolitan Warri is 80% Urhoboland (extending to Delta Central LGAs such as Uvwie, Udu and Okpe).
4. The Olu of Warri title has attracted criticisms, litigations, etc between Ijaws (who also occupy riverine Warri areas), Itsekiri and Urhobos.
5. It was finally resolved that the Olu of Warri is JUST a title and he has no hold over Urhobo land or Ijaw land in Warri.
6. Traditional Urhobo homesteads in Warri include: Otovwodo, Ejeba, parts of Okere, Ugberikoko, Ogunu, Iyara, etc.
7. Itsekiri areas in Warri include Upper and Lower Erejuwa, parts of Okere, Ugbuwanugue, parts of Alder's town, NPA area, etc
8. Itsekiris use the term "Warri" to refer to their entire land, including those areas NOT in the city of Warri.
9. Urhobos use Warri to refer ONLY to the Warri City where their land is situated and its adjoining areas. Urhobos have never claimed to own all of Warri but ONLY where their land is located.
10. Both the Urhobos and Itsekiris are MIGRANTS to the Warri area. Itsekiris migrated from Yorubaland while the Urhobos there migrated from Olomu and Agbarha. The time of the migration and who arrived first is a subject of controversy and lost to history.

Lack of knowledge has made the Nigerian youth to keep using the Word Tribe and Ethnic Group to have the same meaning. All that you have listed here are Tribes found in Nigeria. We have only 3 Ethnic groups in Nigeria and they Are IGBO, HAUSA and YORUBA. The other over 300 Tribes in Nigeria are grouped under the 3 Ethnic groups that i have mentioned.

Tribes make up an ethnic group,China has thousands of Tribes but they have only about 50 Ethnic groups. Please read up Anthropological definitions of Tribe and ethnic group so that you can get a clearer picture.

Good day.

nope! am just concerned abt ur maps,t hey are somewhat misleading.

Efewestern:


what do you say about the fact presented by fratermathy?

Also I would love to add to the little he said, 90% of industry / institution in warri are in Urhobo land, although the refinery is extend to itsekiri land, so it's 50/50.

am still looking for where to place ijaw in my ranking, In fact urhoboland is warri city and warri city is urhobo land.

Note I used Warri city, The other part of warri na itseke domain.

Zoolezoo:


Who owns the following parts/towns of Warri township:

Ubeji
Ajatiton
Ajamimigha
Ifie
Ugbolokposo
Jalla
Ogunnu
Ugboroke

Aren't these all Itsekiri locales within the actual Warri township?

Ukwuani is IGBO and IGBO is Ukwuani... I really wander where u people pick up all these lies from. We don't have one igbo language per sey, We have very many dialects... There are so many dialects of the igbo language that I don't understand even though I am a pure breed. I don't hear Jack wen someone from Izza/Ezilo speaks igbo.


Also try n forget what they might be teaching in schools, it's just how they keep dividing the igbos.

This is perhaps the second most sensible comment I've seen here since the usual ewar started here.

However in Nigeria, the issue is slightly more convoluted than that. Political issues I guess.

I have read your postings on the Kenyan thread. Seems you are quite knowledgeable about the history of the middle belt. I am from the middle belt too. Did you study history?

fratermathy:


Are you not the same person that said there are only 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria? I guess Urhobo is a tribe of Igbo? Right?

You just wake up one day and come up with "bright ideas" about ethnicities. For your information mister, the word "tribe" is out of fashion. Your usage of it is reminiscent of the colonial masters who balkanised Nigeria and her ethnicities. Ethnic groups are peopled by those of common languages and cultures. Within ethnicities, there are sub-ethnicities/clans/kingdoms/etc.

Don't delude yourself and think your ethnic group is so important just because of the colonial mistake called Nigeria.




Political? Like really? So in your mind, all the ethnicities in the Niger Delta area that speak their own diverse languages (without any relationship to each other whatsoever) are political creations? Right?

Many of you from the Nigerian reductionist triad of Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba, are so deluded by this contraption that you really feel you are better than the average man who was chanced to be born into a small ethnic group. Well, guess what? We really don't care what you think.
