Must u peddle malicious & mendatious fabrications about Urhobos and Okpe's on nairaland in a bid to sound intelligent?? Niqqa learn to keep shut whenever you lack facts. My Father's mother is from oviri-okpe of okpe local government delta state & so i'm okpe by history. Urhobo Has Over 24 kingdoms & The Orodje Of Okpe HRM Brigadier General Mujakpero, Ororo 1 is the most respected king in urhoboland, Because okpe kingdom is d largest kingdom with over 117 Communities in urhoboland. The orodje of okpe belongs to D council of urhobo kings & okpe is a part & parcel of UPU d umbrella body of all urhobos. I Wonder Wat u'all gain from peddling falsehood

Sanchez01:
So you are basically basing your argument on whether or not they have a Bible in their language?

Ororokpe is one of the groups that make up the Urhobo ethnic group. Note that Okpe is one of the tribes that make up the Urhobo Nation, similarly to what applies with the Igbos where there are Wawa Igbos, the Northern Igbo tribe, and there are the Southern Igbo tribe, the Western Igbo tribe, the Eastern Igbo tribe, and the Northeastern Igbo tribe. Each of these five can be further divided into subgroups based on specific locations and names. Of course, I won't delve into that.

And then there is the many subgroups of the Yorubas where you have variations and in some cases, tough languages quite different from the regular Yoruba Language.

The Ororokpe language is tough and most, if not all Urhobos can neither speak nor understand the language save you grow up among them. The reverse is often the case for the Okpe people as most of them who get close to the Urhobo speaking folks tend to understand the language.

The Wawa Igbo language or Wawa language, particularly that of Ebonyi is tough on the ear of the typical Igbo man. But does it make the Wawa people of Ebonyi any less Igbos?

The Ife language of the Yoruba people is somewhat unique and different from the regular Yoruba people, just as the Ìjẹ̀bú language is. It still doesn't make them any less Yorùbá.

All of these subgroups I mentioned, whether among the Igbos or the Yorubas are all branches of the main tree, just as Ororokpe is a subgroup of the larger Urhobo.

You spend your time in the travel section but argue like a caveman who has never left his cave before? You should take take out some time to study before testing your knowledge in this section.

I know of Togo and benin republic citizens who speak yoruba and no body is coming to nairaland at every opportunity they got to dispute their ancestry, there are fulanis from every part of africa in nigeria no one is trying to separate them, why is it that all of nigeria is all the time jittery and shaking like dry leaves during rainy season at everything igbo?

FrLukas:
Mr Eugene, no need to try and lecture me on your history. I'm not interested. Let the people you are trying to co-opt speak for themselves.

For example, Itshekiri people are decidedly Yoruboid. Yet they have formed a separate identity for themselves.

If they want to join Yorubas when this contraption called Nigeria fails is up to them and they will be welcomed with a warm embrace. If they choose to stay away, it's up to them. The link will always be there.

But not you. Everything na agidi, stronghead.

The boy is a well known stupid boy on nairaland here. Don't mind him.

iSlayer2:



Hahahahahah see this Urhobo boy o. See am dey claim Anioma by force. Okpo!

Itsekiri is not Yoruba, abeg go and sit down. Apart from linguistic affinity what else do you have in common?

They Don't eat amala and slimy ewedu

They don't 50/50 (religion) like you

They don't do owomida @scholes

They don't have the same culture

Don't meddle in what you don't know. China claimed Hong Kong and are after Taiwan. I don't see you saying anything despite the fact that these places are Islands. Do you know why? That you refused to go search for your lost brother doesn't mean I should do so.
As for Itsekiri people, their history is very clear despite they being Yoruboid. Let me tell you the difference. Prince Ginuwa left Bini to the land and formed Kingdom in parts of Warri. Some Yorubas came from parts of Ondo to settle in the kingdom and overtime influenced the language so much that it became Yoruboid. It was Awolowo who made the initial Olu of Itsekiri to be Olu of Warri when they were in the Western region as against the wishes of both the Ijaws and Urhobos who together share the city hence the fightings that rocked Warri few decades ago. The Itsekiris land is not contiguous with Yorubaland I wonder how they'll claim to be Yorubas.
You see I know their history but if you discuss it here on nairaland without involving Igbos, I'll never interfere because it's non of my business.
Once again, keep off Igbo matters you know nothing about.

emperorshaokahn:
i wonder how igbos go day talk urhobo sef go put mouth,sho no respect again?.

darfay:
Here we go again with this argument, south Easterners don't c Anioma as Igbo. I have seen this first hand

Cjrane2:
As an Igboman from Anioma part of Igboland.
I find this thread a little bit annoying! Why can't we make a similar thread about Afikpo Igbos, Ngwa Igbos or Nsukka Igbos saying they are proud of being Igbo? Or another Igbo group? It is clear that Nigeria's Fulani leaders agenda since time immemorial has been to balkanize Igboland beginning with carving out Igbo people at the periphery of Igboland and joining them with other groups or other states as minority there. In our stupidity, we allowed them to do it for way too long.

Every true Anioma person that didn't benefit from the politics of Nigeria or Bendel State knows we have NEVER hidden our Igboness. Of course there were a few people that were motivated by the Nigerian regime to come out and say rubbish about our Igbo ancestry in their desperation to kill Biafran unity. Those people have been relegated to the dustbin of history. Moreso, Anioma Igbos singularly paid the biggest price by the genocide of our people during the civil war. If we were not Igbos, WHY WOULD FULANI SLAUGHTER US IN OUR VILLAGES?

Again, our sons volunteered and fought bravely during the Biafran war. Nobody especially Col. Murtala Mohammed will deny their fear of Col. Joe Achuzia. I know threads like this are started by Afonjas to do their bid. But, when I see respectable monikers falling for their deceit I worry about the new generation that does not know their history.

JasonJidenna:
Similar language, YES, but different way of life.

Doc10q:
Which different way of life?? Mr impostor stop lying to d public with ur stupidity pls.. I'm a river state indigene and I have been to asaba many times precisely anioma, and I see no single difference btw their culture, tradition, & way of life with that of d SE ibos. In fact I was even shocked to see that this ppl practice d same thing as ibos & even d same lanuguage jus lik some of us in river state...im ikwerre to be precised. Whenever I tell them how come u ppl have d same d same practice with se ibos...they wud politely mock me and say "don't u have sense can't u see with 2 eyes that we speak d same"..i have a lot of anioma friends and trust me they know their root & who their brothers are very well. So u dont have to come here and lie for d love of it.. Maybe it's a yoruba father & anioma mother that gave birth to u and he filled ur head with this shit... Or perhaps u are an outright afonja lik ppl say here. Say what u know pls..

Words of a tribalistic F00l....


Cc; dominique, kindly handle this thing that allows his emotions get the best of him.

Doc10q:
U see? Ur outburst jus exposed u, which proved me right that u are not an anioma but an impostor. U can call me any name u lik but within yourself u jus know I told u the hurtful plain truth to ur face. Anioma forming impostor...trying to cause confusion everywhere

Nwanyiogwashi:
Ogwashi ukwu rock Igbo rock op of cause I'm more Igbo than people from south east.

JasonJidenna:
In your own words and I quote "Many of the Aniomas are proud of their ibo-ness"


Good thing you didn't generalize like a F00L. I am one of the few who's not proud and that doesn't make me an Afonja as you tribalistic F00l will say.

Everyone must not be "Ibo" for you to like them, I am not Ibo, I am a proud Deltan.


You can go and suck your grandmother's breast at Afaraukwu for all I care.


Tribalistic F00l.

Nwanyiogwashi:
Then tell your people from East to stop calling us Delta igbos

Doc10q:
So if u are more ibo than them... Then What are they then..hausa or yoruba ibo? Mtcheww ignorance & stupidity is a disease.
Atleast u admitted u re ibo sha...the thing is that it doesn't matter who is more ibo than the other, cos the fact still remains that u re one ppl simple!

lexxwiz:
Well I am pretty sure calling the igbos in delta “delta Igbo” isn’t to spite them. Delta has a lot of non igbos, so its just a simple way of identifying our brothers from delta. I’ve also used this delta Igbo countless times. So what would you like me to call the igbos in delta? Any preferred name? I’ll gladly start using it.

ChristianNorth:
This has never been debated before.

I have never seen an Anioma, deny their Igboness before.

we are more Igbo than than them

Nwanyiogwashi:
The guy is urhobo guy so stop wasting your time on him.

Doc10q:
;DIn wat way if I may ask...? Did they came from Mars and urs came from Pluto? . Remember I'm ibo too from ikwerre origin, so wat will u classify us as then? Pluto or Mars?



Besides it was u ppl that started claiming u re not ibos but delta ibo and made a lot of ibos to be aware that u are not ibo but delta igbo... Why are u now turning d tables around
