If you go into the street of Nigeria and ask, who is a Niger Deltan?
95% of respondents will likely fail the question.
The Reason for this write up is that some Peoples ignorantly love to use the phrase "IGBOS and NIGER DELTANS".
Its wrong and an embarrasement to the intellectual mindset.
-
First, What is a Delta?
A Delta is a Land area where a River spread into diverse tributuaries before emptying into an Ocean or Sea.
-
Niger Delta is the delta of River Nigeria.
The USA has Mississippi Delta.
The China has Yangtze Delta.
The Egypt has Nile delta.
And so on.
-
In Nigeria, How Is A Niger Deltan identified, lets examine it in three ways and then solve the Igbos and Niger Delta Question.
-
1) Niger Delta as Oil Producing Areas?- If Niger Delta is classified by Oil Producing Areas, that mean Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, Urhobos etc are part of it.
- Yorubas produce Oil in Ondo state.
- Igbos have Oil producing areas in Ukwa areas of Abia, Egbema, Asa/Ndoki, Oguta, Ogbaru, Ndoni, Omuma, Etche etc.
-
So if it is classified by Oil producing areas, that means all ethnic groups in southern Nigeria are Niger Deltans.
-
2) Niger Deltans As South South States?- This is the classification many use to define Niger Deltan.
And they even Ignorantly think Igbos are not part of it.
I am an Asa lady from Oyigbo LGA In Rivers state.
I am proudly Igbo and Niger Deltan.
Also the Ndokis, Ndoni, Etches, Egbemas etc are also Oil producing areas in South South and they are part of the Igbo Nation.
Ikwerre, Ogba and Ekpeye may be a battleground of identity issue but they are of Igboid stock.
So you see if we use South South as classification of Niger deltan, IGBOS are part and parcel of it.
-
3) Niger Deltan By Virtue Of Geographical Location?
If we go by this classification, that means Edo and Cross River people are not Niger deltans, because there is no delta of the River Niger in their location.
If we go by this classification, that means IGBOS are fully part of the Niger Delta.
-
My Final submission is that trying to create Niger Delta without mentioning IGBOS is a big FRAUD.
There are Igbos in the term "NIGER DELTA".
Even the River Niger is a dermacation between two Igbo Cities Onitsha and Asaba.
-
The days of divide and conquer are fading away.
I am an Asa/Ndoki person.
Oyigbo is my LGA!
Rivers is my state.
IGBO is my ethnic nation.
And Yes I am a Niger Deltan just like my fellow Igbos like Etches, Ndonis, Egbemas, Ogbarus, Ogutas, etc.
Thank you all.

What is the distitiveness and there is nothing like south south in English or geography

Pls
victorvezx:
95% of Nigerians have heard and know where Niger delta is. Whether igbos are there changes nothing. There are many tribes there too. It is very distinct from the south east. South south is Edo, Rivers state, Delta state, Akwa ibom state, Bayelsa state, and cross river state. The real Niger Delta is Delta state, Akwa ibom state, Rivers state and Bayelsa. Imo state, Ondo state and Abia state where only included in Niger delta by Obasanjo as oil producing states, they are not real Niger delta in the sense of it
Re: Who Is Really A NIGER DELTAN? by AmuDimpka: 8:51am On Jun 28, 2017
How can Igbo be minority u. Delta


An Igbo man is the governor of Delta and Rivers

An Igbo man Liyel Imoke was the governor of Cross River

Tell me one state in Niger Delta that we don't have an Igbo indigenous tribe


Then i can take you serious
victorvezx:
Ur forgetting one thing, igbos are minorities in the Niger delta like the rest of the tribes there, so they don't own Niger delta. and all this tribes don't share the same ideology with the igbos, when they really gather together and become united in the in a course, the little Igbo sub groups there will do nothing. They will have no ally in the Niger delta, they will have to join the other tribes and fight for the same course, or move back to the south east and be with their brothers.

I'm curious as to why you cc me here. There's nothing wrong with her post. She's very much right on this.


I'm igbo and also ND and I'm damn proud of it. Similar to what's she's saying.
Do you have a problem with SS igbos saying we are igbo?
I don't have problems with ss igbos. You all are my brothers and sisters. But I doubt if she is who she said she is.
Re: Who Is Really A NIGER DELTAN? by ahaika23: 10:07am On Jun 28, 2017
It is only those deluded and drowned by complex in the region that see Igbos as a threat to their existence. I am Abua, I am Ijaw, my next LGA neighbors of Emuoha/Ikwerre are Igbos. I will be a f00l to deny that fact!

Imo and Abia are in the Niger,
Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, and Akwa Ibom are in the Delta,
Niger Delta is a natural resources rich region with access to the Atlantic sea
South South is a geographical expression. It is also a collection of Southern minority.It is also a political sentiment for ethnic polities off the Niger and towards the Delta and Oil River Protectorate

Lol, she continues her obsession with nigerdeltans.

Tomorrow queenofnepal, ngozi123 and nonaira1 will say she is igbo.

Why can't she leave nigerdelta alone.

Since when did this well known Afonja become Oron.

My God you Yoruba makes me sick as f2k.

Never seen a group so disgustingly hatefilled, they always try to destroy others images.

You lots are truly the most pitiful demons on the planet.

Y'all the words of the so called "Oron in Akwa Ibom"

No wonder!

Immediately he said his tribe is Oron i knew he wasn't from Akwa Ibom, no tribe in Nigeria is Oron

even if she is from osogbo she will be properly decapitated if she start to f up

The real Niger delta is Bayelsa, rivers, and delta. Of course igbos are part of it, especially the ikwerre which regard itself as distinct from the igbos. The real igbos are a minority like the other ethnic group. As long as the ikwerre agrees with other tribe in the Niger delta, there is nothing real igbos will do
It is an assault for u regard ikwerre and other ss igbos as fake igbos... u must be very arrogant...

Don't mind them, they are very arrogant, they feel like the old eastern region is their birth right, they feel like they are the custodian of the old eastern region. If u tell them u don't want Biafra, they start screaming Hausa and Yoruba divide and rule, forgetting the fact that it is the people from the present day South South that requested that Gowon should separate the south south from the south east to avoid Igbo domination.
That was how Gowon gifted some Igbo land to them...

If atal Nigeria will split, everyone will go their separate ways and we'll have nothing less than 6 small countries out of the "big" Nigeria.

Yorubas have a clearly defined boundary, we don't need to do attache with any region or force any oil producing community with us. Oduduwa republic will stand.

Igbos in the SS are tenants.. The real owners are the Ikweres, Ijaws etc. They can evict you guys whenever they like.
