shifting goal post.
Mr attachés
warripikin point is simple.
"You urhobo should stop lumping warri south (the itshekiri) to urhobo in order to dominate them & grab their land(warrior)

fratermathy:
And has the National domination by Hausa-Fulani people been any better?

I do agree with you that every state should be constituted by those of same ethnicities. However, the Urhobos, Ijaws and Itsekiris have been living together for ages now and Urhobos have not dominated the others. In fact, quite the contrary, [b]Urhobo is dominated by others, mostly the Itsekiri, [/b]who claim to own the entire Warri river region.

supersystemsnig:
When will the Urhobos wake up and leave up to their potential. Na wa. Urhobo, God go help una... This is a distraction and waste of time when there are lingering issues that pertains national development, regional development, integration of varying compnents in the region towards strategic development and redeployment of assets to facilitate broadend improvement in the entire region that should be brought the front burner..Rather than face crucial issues, they're dancing to the python beat...new state indeed. Make God open una eyes...

fratermathy:
But they can extract oil from there abi?

The SE cant exist across the Niger for various reasons including economy, security etc.

Shroud:
Have you done a referendum if itsekiri and Isoko would want a country with you people.

Isn't it ironic that you're doing the same thing you accused IPOB ( bunch of noise makers) of doing?

You have always been a hypocritical tribal bigot anyway.

warripekin:
Why are uhrobo people not agitating for delta central state ? Any lumping of delta south with delta central to form a new state will not be welcome by Itsekiris because we see it as a ploy for the uhrobo's to dominate such a state because of their numerical strength. The Uhrobo will simply dominate affairs at the state level and rule the new state as if it's their private estate. It will be reminiscent of what is going on in Benue state where the Tiv takes precedence over any other ethnic group in Benue state. The idoma people can attest to what I am saying.

minke:
The best way to end all these calls for secession and state creation is to restructure the country and make every state autonomous.

scionofurhobo:
I appreciate your wisdom and matured approach to the matter. The level of mentality mediocrity being exhibited by our so called elders beats me hollow. I pray a new generation of leadership that will realise their potentials and harness same towards the core issues that affects us, is born.

babyfaceafrica:
Nice..what about Ibadan state,anioma state,okun state?..everybody sha won chop..issorite

Myself2:

Fantastic point bro
This is a ploy by some power hungry Urhobo to dominate the Itsekiri
Students of Delta history and politics still remember the acrimony that existed between the Urhobo and Itsekiri when they clamoured for i.e. a Delta state without an Anioma, how they were at each other's throats over where to site the state capital, this was why IBB delivered the master stroke of not creating a separate Anioma state but lumped them with the Urhobos,Ijaws and Itsekiris in what is now the present Delta state but sited the capital in Asaba to assuage the Aniomas.
Some of these funny Urhobo characters giving every other person a bad name have never hidden their disdain for the other tribes in the state especially the Anioma and Itsekiri, however they didn't mind as long as one of us ( Ibori) was governor ,but as soon as an Itsekiri (Uduaghan) became governor,they developed headache, and alas it appears now an Anioma ( Okowa) is governor,they are having heart attacks .
They better beware lest they die for nothing cos personally I see nothing wrong with this new arrangement and the Itsekiris will never allow it happen,they'd rather ask foe another separate state

supersystemsnig:
Don't let them come after you oh

IgboticGirl:
I am Beginning to like u

shallysgirl:
Who will come after him?
I think he has a good point.

fratermathy:
Okay.
I guess you also saw where he said that Urhobos occupy Warri South?
Carry on!

Its too late for all dat,we the itsekiris won't allow dat

All I see here is GREED, ppl are providing solution on how to make Nigeria better while some are there asking for their own state.... will this solve the problem of nigeria?? Restructure is all we need now and not all this selfishness that our ppl are showcasing here...

Kirigidi:
That was a shameful agitation, because at the end of the day Delta North which is minority in present Delta State will then emerged as a full state [proposed Anioma] with 3 senators, whereas Urhobo who are the majority in present Delta State will end up still sharing a state [proposed New Delta] with other tribes and will have just one or two senators. Is that progress? Urhobo alone with its abundant human and natural resources is large enough and even overdue to have a state of her own. Urhobo landmass [approx. 5000 sq.km] alone is bigger than that of present Lagos State [3345 sq.km] and Anambra State [4844 sq. km]. Urhobo need to wake up and take their rightful place in Nigeria [progress]!

listen to what another warripekin has to say below

fratermathy:
You should have educated yourself a little mister.

Urhobo PANDEF is only reiterating the decision of the 2014 National Conference where it was decided by ALL that a New Delta State, comprising Delta South and Central, should be created.

They are not saying anything new.! Besides, you seem to forget that Isoko is a sister nation to Urhobo (they originated politically from Eastern Urhobo).

IgboticGirl:
In as much I don't like any people agitating for it state or country, I will love it if Niger deltans agitate for resource control that is the main thing



Very soon oil will be of no use again and I have not seen any tangible thing or development in SS


Restructuring should be everyone goal before it is too late... That is wat I always tell ipob member but they won't listen

supersystemsnig:
Na wa, who imposed the fear of the Urhobos on you guys like this? When last did the Urhobos fight a major war in modern history?

aniomafirstson:
its like saying ala Igbo does not exist across the Niger

I don't understand your point really

fratermathy:
I think I am the one. I usually hit them hard whenever they peddle the idea that Urhobos want Biafra!

A geographical feature as important as the Niger will serve a very wide area and not just it's immediate neighbours. If regions are created tommorow, people as far as Benin will be entitled to the Niger.

Including anioma in the SE would mean that economic and security benefits of the Niger would accrue to the SE regional government.

For instance, all igbos including people as far as Enugu want the Niger dredged because of the total economic effect to the SE.

Similarly, the Niger is of economic benefit to people as far as Benin and not just it immediate neighbours in Asaba and Environs.

Eastfield1:
one of my Girlfriend from ISoko by the name Ufoma Egaga has never agreed that she is an Urhobo

Shroud:
The 2014 national conference was a proposal by various group so...
Was it decided that the new Delta state should comprise people of Delta south and Delta central?

Who made this proposal to the national conference and are the itsekiris in support.

Because itsekiri will NEVER AGREE to a new state with you.

Shroud:
Fratermathy is looking for forced brotherhood by fire by force.

Even effurun a town on the fringes of Warri will tell you they aren't urhobo.
