We deltans are Igbo, stop saying rubbish, I don't have any other language aside igbo unlike northerners that have many languages but Hausa as central, stop this madness Ohaneze aruala

ken6488:
igbos can be in delta but igbos should stop claiming asaba abeg live our oil

ken6488:
thanks

Cubeet:
I am from Anioma of Delta State and we have more local government areas than any other tribe in Delta state.
We are Igbos.

Our culture is Igbo.

Arda1000:
which part of isoko? cause some part are igbo and some part edo/benin

fratermathy:
Wrong! No part of Isoko is Igbo. You can't have this both ways. How can they be Isoko, a distinct ethnic group, and be Igbo at the same time? You didn't even go towards Urhobos, their exact cultural and linguistic analogue. You just had to bring in Igbo into it.

If what you meant to say was that there are Isokos in the Ndokwa axis of Anioma, then you are correct! Many Isoko autonomous communities exist in that region and though some of the inhabitants are bilingual due to contingency, they are Isoko nonetheless.

aniomafirstson:
No part of Igbo is isoko
if you are talking about igbuku forget it.
They have been igbonized.

They don't even speak isoko as first Language,they don't look like isoko,They look like pure igbos,they practice igbo culture and speak ukwuani language (a dialect of Igbo).

They were only assimilated in the past and they have been igbonized.

Take your eyes off delta north fratermarthy

fratermathy:
Okay. I really do not have to argue online over facts that can be gotten online.

And I don't care about Delta North. My people are not indigenous to that area so I have no business there. Only Isokos were unfortunate to be geographically dislocated to the Ndokwa area. Ibrede-Ame and Onogbokor, among others, have suffered for years for being in a wrongly assigned LGA.

Argue with your keyboard if you must.

aniomafirstson:
They don't speak isoko anymore.
They speak Igbo so you can't call them isoko.
leave them alone as they are comfortable with being ukwuanis.

There are also clans in isokoland that has Igbo ancestry but you don't see us claiming them.

gboxbaba:
All these fvckers just spewing trash here.

The further you go away from asaba into the delta hinterlands the lesser their igboness.

Infact for most of the anioma community. The only thing they share in common with the igbo nation is just the language. Other aspects of their culture is quite different. For example the official regalia of the obi of agbor is a beaded regalia, just like the Benin.

The food is different. And a whole lot more.
I'm from umunedei in ogwashi ukwu. And our history is more of once upon a time we were a territory under the oba of Benin with no governing system of our own, then a prince of igbo descent comes and settles with us. And takes permission from the oba a to establish a governing system. His request is granted and he intermarries with the local population, sets up a governing structure which he heads and introduces his own language and everything. of course he can't just wipe out the original culture entirely. So it's more of a fusion of two different cultures. But originally. We are not igbo.

Sorry to intrude but confirm if the Umunede you are referring to is different from the one in Ika North East. I don't know if there is another one in Ogwashiuku but if it is the one in Ika then you should correct yourself. If not, kindly educate me.

aniomafirstson:
We have umudei in ogwashi but you as a deltan have you seen someone from ogwashi having identity crises?

BTW igbanke still speak their ika language or can you prove they are now speaking Bini?

they must be high on somtin when some isoko in ibrede say they migrated from igbo land

Indigenous:
[s]I can see how the Hausa Fulani terrorist tribe have succeeded in making our south south brothers/sisters useless by making them have the oil mentality. can they survived economically without oil,I pray make the oil well dry quick quick then we will show them where they belong in this Nizooria[/s]

Ugo4hotish:
see this idiot, you statement compounded logical reasoning. you said any people east of R.Niger is igbo. by your statement, even Cross River, Akwa ibom, Cameron, Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia is igbo.

Are you stupid?
go and buy brain first before you like me. dullards don't like a genius like me. we igbos are genius and we are found some Km2 east and west of the Niger.

igbo territories are found even in states like Edo, Kogi, Benue, Bayelsa. few villages in CrossRiver (Abi, Ekwurekwu, Ogoja) and Akwa ibom (Ndoki in Ukanafon LGA) are igbo. not the entire CrossRiver and Akwa ibom.


TO BURST YOUR HEAD, WE ALSO HAVE IGBOS DOWN DOWN THE SOUTH OF RIVERS STATE (OPOBO, BONNY)

IGBO IS ONE OF THE 3 MAIN ETHNIC GROUPS IN EQUATORIAL GUINEA

immhotep:
Nzeogwu was from Okpanam in Delta state.
He is not Igbo, according to Afonja logic, even though his family name is Igbo.
But he led the first Igbo coup.
The imbec1lity did not begin today.

Chigold101:
you think the governor is as confused as you are. He knows he said Igbo and all Anioma, Ika, and Ukwuani are Igbo.
Is Ifeanyi and Okowa not Igbo names?
Abi those Delta that bear Chucks and Chinedu and Okafor are Hausa People...?

Arda1000:
Stop fooling ursef with onistha benin nonsense,Ezechima is an igbo man that migrated from igbo land to benin then came back,not the other way,try to respect people history,alot of igala people are scatterd in igbo land but igala themself say that they migrated from igbo land,so they are relatted haba!

Valike2008:
Get out Anioma , Ugwashiukwu etc are all Igbos, you Julius Malena you are a Fulani from Niger republic claiming Hausa indigene, delta is Igbo Anu ohia

ISLAMBAD:
You still have time for that aboki who is claiming to come from Anambra with the intention of sowing discord between Ibos In SE/SS.

Just observe him and know his mission on this forum. The guy has succeeded in deceiving a lot of Ibos on this forum with his pro Ibo comments sometimes. It's still his tactics, so that you will believe that he's Ibo.
He nearly deceived me when I registered newly, then I letter found out that he's up-to something.

He has spent most of his miserable life on nairaland trying to a achieve the impossible.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Delta State on Friday endorsed Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for second term, with Governor Okowa describing the Ibos as industrious, contributing immensely to the growth of the society.

The pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation adopted Governor Okowa as their governorship candidate during the 17th edition of Igbo Cultural Day Celebration organised by Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Delta Central and South Senatorial Districts at the Warri Township Stadium, Warri.

According to the Governor, “I give thanks to Almighty God that you are gathered here to celebrate 2018 cultural day in peace and unity; I am very much aware of the importance of Ndigbo Delta State and the country as a whole, if you are talking about commerce, industry, you must talk about the Igbos.”

“If there is any community that has no Ndigbo, that community is not growing, we are industrious and contribute to the economic development of a place,” he said, adding: “We are happy that we have united leadership of Ndigbo in Delta Central and South Senatorial Districts and it is good that we are celebrating peace, never again shall we be divided.”

While observing that Ndigbo in Delta State have contributed to the development of the state, Governor Okowa urged the youths among them to emulate their parents and be good citizens of the state.

President of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Delta Central and South Senatorial Districts, Hon. Ezeh Michael, thanked Governor Okowa for the prevailing peace in the state which had made their businesses to thrive, assuring that Ndigbo in the state would vote massively for him in 2019.
Hon. Michael maintained that Governor Okowa’s administration has performed and the people would be very happy to re-elect him, adding: “We gathered here as one indivisible family to celebrate the 2018 Igbo Cultural Day and in remembrance of our fallen heroes, the reflection of a true Igbo identity should be seen; every average Igbo man is seen and known to be hard-working, to derail amounts to self destruction.”

There were different cultural displays at the ceremony with most of the people singing solidarity songs in honour of Governor Okowa.

The poster said Umunedei, not Umudei. I couldn't care less about their identity crises, if any. As far I am concerned, everything North of Urhobo/Isokoland up to Enugu State is Igbo or Igboid. If they say otherwise then no problem.

Many Igbanke people speak Bini fluently, just so you know. The whole point of bringing Igbanke into the discussion was to prove that though their homeland is captured within Edo State, they remain Ika people. This is the logic you should extend to Isoko communities in Ndokwa.

fratermathy:
For the sake of knowledge, can you name the definite indigenous Igbo communities in Bayelsa State?

When you say Igbos are in Ogoja, do you mean the town or the LGA? Which specific areas of the town or LGA are Igbos endemic to?

In Ndoki, are the Igbos there indigenous or simply a product of border "patrol"?

The case of Opobo is unique as it reminds me of an earlier argument on this thread. In Opobo, Igbo is widely spoken but are the people there Igbos because they speak Igbo or because they are ethnically Igbo? When I checked last, Opobo and Ibani were core parts of Ijaw and this is the ethnicity many of them espouse.
