Indigenously, I think it’s Urhobo, but Anioma land has seen the influx of igbos from all over igbo land come an join them over the years. This has boosted the population of Anioma igbos.

Asaba saw the biggest influx but other surrounding anioma towns and villages are also witnessing the influx of igbos from all over.

We need Anioma state which should have been created 30 years ago.

Stop being clever by half by running away from the reality on ground

Anioma is a name given to Igbo speaking part of Delta State by Chief Osabebey in 70's...Delta North to be precise.


Keep deceiving yourself to be happy. The reality is on ground waiting for you

I sincerely don't know the problems with some of you. Always looking for unnecessary battles and arguments, please I'm not interested in such arguments, wether or not you are not comfortable with the way I refer to them as Anioma is not my problem but yours to solve, I can see where this is leading to.

Bye.

You are correct about the influx of Igbos in Anioma, but even at that, the Urhobo population still beats that of any group (Including those from other states), 7/11 of the densely populated towns in the state is highly populated by Urhobo and are in Urhobo land.

Not really.
The Anioma-Igbo group has a total of nine 9⃣ local government areas. Whereas the Urhobo, even when combined with the Isoko only have eight 8⃣.
So it is clear which of them is the majority.

Urohobo
But itsekiri has more political voice

Presumed political voice,still living on past glory of awolowo and okotie- eboh,see how useless uduaghan was as a governor,who was hand picked by his urhobo cousin james Ibori,who was the last itsekiri appointed a Federal Minister?

Totally wrong. One, you don't measure population by the number of local government areas. Two, Urhobos are established well in Warri South LGA as a majority and in Patani as a minority. Three, Isoko has two LGAs. If you count the LGAs where Urhobos can be found ONLY in Delta State, you have a total of 10! If you add Isoko, then you have 12!

Apart from the LGAs, Urhobos have been authenticated by both the national census and voting strength as the most populous ethnic group in the state.


@Op: Population alone doesn't determine influence. In terms of influence, Urhobos are not resolute enough to have ample influence. Urhobos lack unity and that is their greatest undoing. Fortunately, nobody can ignore the population of the Urhobos.

Most importantly, I don't see any good that can come out of this post.

Anioma state,are you thinking of self inflicted genocide?,the only reason Delta north has any say,is because General Babaginda because of his wife chose her senatorial district for the capital by decree,delta north should be for ever thankful to the odogwu's and Okongwu families.

Do we need to revisit history son? We call the shot in Delta.. The itsekiri's will remain greatful to Ibori. He gave them Uduahgan who could not oust James Manager. The itsekiri's are politically irrelevant in Delta south talk less of the all Delta

You have been making noise...Answer his simple question... Urhobos have popularity for nothing. They can easily sell their brother for peanut.

Combined with Isoko it's 10 LGA (excluding Urhobos in Warri South), besides when does having more LGAs translate to population? Urhobo LGAs are densely populated and highly urbanized, and the average Urhobo man is polygamous in Nature, reason for their population.

agboghai:
The Urohbo's are the most populated ethnic group in Delta State. The Anioma's (Ika, Ukwani, Ndokwa) are the second. If you are in doubt, kindly consult the population census of the state to quench your ignorance.

Interesting, I used to think Igbos(Anioma) were the largest

Just like your useless father giving birth to a useless child. Ur birth is an insult to contraceptives.

Sometimes you will totally agree that most of these children on nairaland did pass an average waec level. Majority just bought phone, login to nairaland and boom chatting starts.


There are high degree of irrelevant questions that a sound mind should ignore or at least direct the person asking such to utilise facilities available to him in finding his answers.

We have population or should I say census data of each state and each local govt as at. 2006.

We have age long InEC data and voting strength of each region from 2007 to 2019 as it is been updated

Delta state on her own have classified data and public figures of thier own population and according to district.

Even the Internet and various journals and articles are here.

Instead of making use of data available to them, look at what they are doing and after they will. Blame buhari for looking for his waec certificate when their own can't be useful in their brain.

This forum is simply not a serious minded one.

Neither do the official population figures nor inec voter registration data capture only the natives of an area. moreover Nigeria census don't reflect ethnicity so those are unreliable.

It will go to a large extent to give an insight to a research.

I wonder how this bloated assertion will lead to near degree of accuracy to the question.

There are documentation that will give clearer picture not thiss warri is bigger, asaba is bigger just rough guess without support.


Is simply useless.

And finally no matter what high percentage of ethnicity in an area must always be captured.

So it can serve as a tunnel to light.

No Sir. If not for General Babaginda, the capital of Delta State would have been situated at Ughelli(an Urohbo town) since they are the majority. I am saying this without sentiment. I am from the Igbo speaking part though.

pls where do you get your figures. our census figures don't make provisions for ethnic groups except the ones done in the past which ( I think ) indicated Anioma to be bigger.

moreover, your info on local govt numbers is wrong. Anioma has 9 local govt areas, Urhobo has 8, and 10 when Isoko is included isn't it?

People should learn to think before they argue. For the information of some persons here, apart from Asaba, Agbor and kwale where you have a high population density of the Igbo's in Delta State, it cannot be compared to that of the Urohbo's in Uvwie, Warri, Ughelli, Udu, Abraka Sapele and co.

Only Warri Ughelli Sapele and maybe, Abraka are popular. warri itself is barely 50% urhobo. It's still difficult to "say".

According to the 2006 census,the 8 lgas of the urhobos is more populous than the 9 lgas of the aniomas.i've not even added warri south oh.
Apart from that,almost all the 8 urhobo lgas have heavily populated urban areas like sapele l,effurun,abraka,ughelli,udu etc

Those of you SE and SS replying this bigoted afonja OP need to be slapped. I grew up with afonja, so I know how they reason. Somebody told him that Igbos are majority in Delta. As usual, it's been bothering him and cannot accept it, so he comes online, opens a thread about it indirectly. Then he uses 4-5 of his other accounts to be answering himself, replying himself, making sure that he lists another tribe as majority but Igbo, and cleverly referring to Igbos as Aniomas. And you foolish SS and SE replying him don't have sense. These wicked afonjas have been playing this game since 1960s.

Argument wey no concern me.

The fact that the ishekiri speaks what sounds like Yoruba language doesn't make them Yoruba. They Are deltans.

Likewise you can't call the Isokos, Urhobos because they sound almost the same.

There are five tribes in Delta and Igbo is not part of it.
Thanks.

You no get sense? So you are telling me Idomas are more than Ashantis in Delta? Please go back to school.
