You're a Nobody. You dont dictate the tune we dance to.. Not Consequential To the scheme of things in delta state. you're only blabbing

Let's say I am done with the thread.

I am currently in another thread, putting issues in right perspective.

Nowenuse:
For me, I am too enlightened to judge the population of an ethnic group exclusively with the census figures or voters figures of their LGAs. Only people with low intelligence do that.
I look at the settlements patters, the migrations, the birthrates and many other factors before I concl[s]ude.
Urhobos outnumber Aniomas (in Delta state) [/s]but the margin is not as wide as many people claim. Outside Delta state it is a different ballgame. There are many Anioma speaking towns in Rivers, Edo and the SE.

With 6 local government of Urhobo or are you adding okpe kingdom and isoko as part of Urhobo

senatordave1:
Sorry,itsekiris outnumber isokos

Itsekiris cannot outnumber Isokos. Impossible.

Itsekiris are found in 3 LGAs which they heavily share with Ijaws & Urhobos almost 50-50 in some cases. While the 2 Isoko LGAs are exclusively Isoko and have a high indigenous population. Isokos are up to 1 million in my estimates but Itsekiris are not.

Warri is not Isoko homeland, but you find more Isokos in Warri than you find Itsekiris. Outside Delta state and Ajegunle (Lagos), you hardly find Itsekiris anywhere else. But Isokos are more visible in other places.

what has Igbo got compare to the other two major group; hausa and Yoruba?


you are not ashamed that you are being relegated politically, below a tribe with only 2m people?
the Hausa's and Yorubas are now in higher league. you guys can only afford to compete with minorities and shout marginalization up and down

[/s]
You know nothing about politics. That's why you think it's an insult.

If 2015 should come again, the Igbos will still vote for Gej and we owe no one any apology for that.

That's what we call being principled, cultured and knowing what one wants for the interest of the country.

We are not ashamed for anything whatsoever cos we already knew the risk when we stood for Gej.

Igbo Politics is way beyond you son.

efe2real:
I disagree with you. Urhobo has many dialects. Some of them include ughiewvien, Udu, Uvwie, Ughelli, Olomu, Agbarho, Okpe, Agbarha, Jesse, Oghara, and Ewvreni. Okpe dialect is similar to Uvwie dialect. An Ughiewven man might have a hard time understanding an Uvwie and an Okpe man. The general Urhobo spoken is that of Agbarho.

Any of this dialect can choose to become a distinct ethnic group like the Isoko if they want. Likewise many choose to remain in the Urhobo nation just like the Okpes. The Isokos and Urhobos were jointly reffered to as the Sobos by the British during the colonial era. While the Isokos decided to forge an ethnic identity of theirs later, the other Urhobo dialects, including the Okpes, decided to stay within the Urhobo nation.

It is the same way an Anambra man might have a hard time understanding an Edda man from Ebonyi. But they are all Igbos.

The names and culture of the different dialects, plus Okpe, and even that of Isoko, are quite similar with minor differences here and there.

I just want to point out that there are different dialects among the Urhobos.

but can u call an isoko man an urhobo man? Apart from argument on Nairaland? Their languages r similar but it’s not urhobo, can u compare okpe and urhobo language with that of isoko ? U can’t .

So you don't want to face your minority status abi.

Nigeria is how many years old, and your ethnical highest position ever recorded happened just last year and you get mouth to whine?

My friend we're not your mate. Respect your status. And enjoy your little achievement in peace or you get it in pieces.

please watch or leave this thread I can handle all the Urhobo put together

you guys are actually home to some of the poorest communities in Delta

is there anyone as influential as Ibori in Delta State?

Lol, don't even bring the balkanization into the topic cos we know that you Aniomas are far more balkanized than Urhobos.

Most of your people identify firstly as Ika, Ukwuani or Enuani before Anioma. Anioma is just a political identity to unify your people.

emperorshaokahn:
james ibori na anioma man abi?.and what about the ibru family?.the igbos in delta state are the most prominent people in that state.

Prominent In Business. we beat u hands down in politics, since the days of edjoor. we beat u in sports and we beat u in entertainment too.

Is it true the South easterners (real igbos) don't see you as part of them?

My owerri and ngwa friends says you people are worse than ebonyi people and that mother tongue is very impure[/s] Doesn't change the fact that okpe kingdom is not part of Urhobo land

yeah just like a good chunk of ndokwa east belongs to isokos.

Watch it.

pazienza:
Any post against SE is my business Oga.

Now you are beginning to be a nuisance.

Stay off my mentions.

I know what I'm saying. The Urhobo dudes have a penchant for drawing first blood but when the Igbos hit back they start looking for sympathy from other minorities. That is how they roll. And that is why despite their provocations, just pretend as though they don't exist.!

EasternActivist:

Urhobo are too small to involve all igbos ,I can handle them myself

Ayekotoo:
Sam Omaseye, Editor - in-chief, The Nation Newspaper has never denied being Yoruba.

Oritse Femi has never denied being of Yoruba subgroup.

Omawunmi speaks her Itsekiri dialect with Kenny Ogungbe of Kennis Fm who happens to be an Ijebu man often.

I cannot argue with you cos I don't want this thread to continue in Yoruba issues.

Go to the streets of Warri, Sapele, Koko and take a sample for yourself.
I doubt somebody like you has ever stepped his feet into Warri.

Itsekiris know that they have a strong affinity with Yoruba, but for example, majority of them do not speak or understand Oyo language (which has become the lingua franca of Yorubaland).
Rather they (Itsekiris) have integrated deeply with the Nigerdeltan pidgin English culture of Warri.
Itsekiris cannot fit into the Yoruba socio-cultural way of life.

The case of Itsekiri is just like that of Anioma people or Delta Igbos.
Most of them do not understand or speak Central Igbo dialect, hence they find it difficult to assimilate with SErn Igbos.

Put an Itsekiri person in the midst of Yorubas & Nigerdeltans and watch which circle the Itsekiri person will gravitate to.

I really hate the fact we r comparing ourselves, we r special in different ways , and we collectively contribute to the growth of delta, please they want us to dispute among ourselves, can we stop it. Urhobos and aniomas are one as far delta state is concerned . I love all my urhobo and okpe friends , my itsheki friends also ... we r not like this abeg . Let’s not disgrace ourselves .

Yorubas dont have anything in common with Igala people. In Kogi, Kabba is the only Yoruba subgroup

Kabba is a town and not a Yoruba subgroup.

Okun is the subgroup. Why are some of you so ignorant?

Igbo Politics is way beyond you son.

You and who would vote for GEJ again. Be careful. Which useless GEJ are you talking about. Don't rally round your son and keep looking for weak Jonathan. What did you gain under GEJ? What meaningful position did you got under GEJ? What political height did you climb under him? Don't provoke me.

If someone like me who is not a South Easterner can be using my head, it is a big shame to you mumu of the east who don't understand politics. IPOB today, Presidency tomorrow. Stand for something and prove you're a majority. Stop acting stupid and distracting yourself. The same nonsense most of you are doing here, arguing foolishly with small Urhobo.

Were you not the one crying to one osagyef that urhobos have so relegated aniomas in tertairy institutions in delta state that u cant help it?[/s] Urhobo produce high ranking people than Anioma?

then It’s a big shame u r this ignorant ,, forming Igbo here , rather than identifying with ur fellow deltans, setting a margin between urhobos and aniomas , this is not how we roll , I know of many urhobos who can fight for okowa , and who voted for him. Don’t create hate in people’s hearts for absolutely nothing .
