Really? You will then have to explain why they speak a dialect of Igbo as their language and have Igbo surnames

Did this guy say Edo state is richer than Bayelsa State? Oga, don't ever argue this in public. Bayelsa may have poor governance, but don't even try this comparison next time. If I were to mention poor States in South-South, I'd definitely mention Edo State but Exclude Bayelsa, but if I were to mention underdeveloped states in Nigeria, Edo and Bayelsa will be included.

Before you quote me, I base in PH, but school in Edo State. That state is a classical example of poverty ridden state.
This guy just saw only Oshomhole's stolen asset and he feel Edo has arrived... I spent some time in Edo state, I swear that state is the definition of filt and deprivation... Bayelsa na Dubai for wer Edo dey na

I haven't been to Bayelsa before, I only pass, but since it's a neighbouring state to mine I am aware of it's internally generated revenue to FG which cannot be matched to what Edo State generates. I'm also aware that lots of oil companies are onshore and offshore there. In comparison, Edo State lacks what Bayelsa has.

I went to the G.R.A in Edo State, and it was looking like some regular streets in PH. Abeg, he doesn't even know what he's saying. grin

Igbos have suffered in Nigeria all because they lost a war of independence.

Imagine this nonetity of a being deginerating Ibos when his own people are by far the most lazy delinquents south of the Niger.

Never ever in your life think that by degenerating Ibos you will some how find unity among Niger Deltans.

I am a Niger Deltan and I can state categorically that you Binis are a big disgrace to the region.

Hell, even you don't even share same political views with us as can be seen with your prefered broom party.

Edo state is filled with Zombies
Poverty, crime and all vices are your trade marks.

You suffer the ignoble roles as being both the Yorubas (treacherous bastards) and fulani (criminals) of the SS people.
Remain blessed.

Hardcoreedoman, let us take this your trash into perspective...

Are you basing your Benin as capital of SS Region on which of the following: Political, Economic, Spiritual/Morality or Education?

Lets start with Political.

Is Benin the Political [/b]capital of the SS region and people? The answer is a resounding NO as can be seen with the mere fact that Edo politics for the last 8years has never been in tandem with that of the rest of the SS region and as things stand it will not change anytime soon.

[b]Economic
reasons require solid economic facts and inices so this will not be that difficult. Is Benin city the leading city in terms of economic activities in the entire SS region? The answer again is a resounding NO! Whatever little decaying infrastructure you have in Benin was built during the old days of Bendel where Benin city was the capital with monies from Delta streaming in to develop that city. With PH, Warri, Uyo, Calabar, Yenegoa and even Asaba topping your backward city that relies solely on repatriated funds from illicit sex trade and human trafficking.


Spiritual reasons won't hold either as the Oba of Benin remains the Oba of Benin only. His influence and reach may have extended to Asaba and as far as Onistcha to the east and southwards to Warri in the past, but that is all in the distant past! Or how do you expect an Efik man to worship your god-King in this day and age when he never had any influence on the Efik people?

The morality question is also to be considered and from all look of things you are not in the right position o preach morality and ethics to the rest of the SS when you have no problem benefiting from modern-day sex slavery.

What of Education and enlightenment? The Bini man is no longer interested in the pursuit of education. All they want is to go to abroad to engage in petty crimes. When last did you hear of a Bini man or woman being honored for educational achievements? Your guess is as good as mine.

From all this we can simply state that the Binis are in no where qualified to lead the SS in any capacity but rather we see that you are a disgrace to the region.

You are getting paranoid.

Igbo bashing will not get you any sympathies as every other person knows that Edo and ashawoe is like 5 and 6 and that your state relies largely on ashawoe earnings to survive,

Now go back to your useless Original post and edit your useless write up and this time around make a suggestion why Edo should be part of Kogi state.

Disgrace!
What about Igbos and drugs,armed robbery,baby factory and blood money?

Your Igbo girls are scattered in hotels and brotels all over Nigeria doing ashawo for a plate of indomie.

I respect my Edo sisters playing international league than your sisters playing local leagues for a plate of indomie

mhen I just found out the first guy I quoted was actually an igbo man claiming ijaw, he's using his other moniker to abuse other tribes.

I apologise to the ijaw nation on the comments I made
lol, you never know igbo people, land grabbers, it's funny how they push edo as west while dragging delta which was fully under edo as bendel.

It's divide and conquer tactics, but actually Delta should be the capital of ss (it has edo ties to warri, it has ijaw ties to bayelsa, rivers and urhobo, itsekiri)

See this goats, go to south Africa,India, Malaysia etc.
Your people population in various prisons are more than their people sef.

Blood money,rituals killings,kidnapping, drugs,cheap ashawo etc,your igbos people are number one.

Come to the north here, with just a plate of indomie,you will have one Igbo ashawo for a night
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by Nobody: 8:57am On Nov 26, 2018
I agree that some of the South-South States are from Edo, but this isn enough.


I know that Akinima and other parts of Ahoada, as I heard from indigenes I interacted with are from Edo.

Edo State is southwest.
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by Kayrich(m): 9:00am On Nov 26, 2018
HardcoreEdoman:
Southwest has Lagos state
South east has Enugu
North has Sokoto.

Likely candidates for capital of south south.

Benin city in Edo state

Port Harcourt in river state

Warri in delta state.

The answer in Benin city, here's why.

Ikwerre(majority in river state is from present Edo)

Urhobo from Edo

Ishekri from Edo

Isoko from Edo, all in delta.

The present day Benin is strategically position in between north,east, south and west as a road to all regions.

Edo nation is currently ruling 3 states in Nigeria.

What do you think?

By the way ilage is part of the Edo nation, obj created us but that will be corrected
No, that's a wrong info.
Kaduna and not sokoto was the capital for the north and Ibadan not Lagos was that of the west.

Political Capital of the North is Kaduna, not Sokoto.
Political Capital of the West is Ibadan, not Lagos.
While Edo and Delta were part of the Western Region before creation of Mid-Western State with Benin City as the Capital.
The other South South States of Bayelsa,Rivers,Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom were part of Eastern Region.
you know your history
