Is Harrysong no longer Ijaw?
Well I'm not from Delta State else I would have taken you to the cleaners because truth be told, Aniomas are miles ahead of Urhobo in terms of human resources and I'm being real here.

harry song is ijaw from warri south west local government area

Sanchez01:

Isoko is not an ethnic group but a sub-group of the Urhobo ethnic group, just like Uvwie and Okpe.

thank you for this ... I'm glad alot of people are aware of this

ProudBornoBoy:


The truth is Shoprite is located under Uvwie LGA. But it isn't the only shopping mall in Warri, there's Gemstone and others I believe.

yes.. even before gem stone and shoprite.. there are other shopping malls in warri

Mystiquefia:


Have you been to effurun-ekpan axis of uvwie local government that is popularly called warri at the moment? do you know it solely belongs to urhobos?

Warri Refinery Is in ekpan - urhoboland
NNPC is in Effurun in uvwie lga- Urhoboland
Petroleum Training Institute Is In effurun(PTI)- urhoboland
Federal University of petroleum resources in effurun- urhoboland
The Only shopping mall in delta state is in effurun- urhoboland

what the hell bro?? that's a big white fat lie

OfoIgbo:


So you can understand now, when people see Ikwerre as Igbo

did you see me ever dismissing ikwerre as not bn igbo? I dont indulge in discussion I know nothing about.. I know too little about the ikwerre people.. to talk about them

Nwanyiogwashi:
Should I name men's from Anioma land for you? Jim ovia, Dr Ned nwoko, Austin avuru,tony elumelu,Godwin emefiele,pat utomi,Stephen keshi,Sunday oliseh Dr Ngozi okonjo and the most influential under 22 girl in Delta state Nwanyiogwashi to name but few are from where

the list you're dishing out.. is it igbo in general?? or anioma?? which is it??

darfay:


Your Dad nko where is he from?

The truth is the ethnic boundaries between Isoko and urhobo is very vague. Urhobo towns like evreni and uhweru languages are the closest to Isoko, infact they speak isoko with an urhobo style and I hear they used to be part of eastern urhobo (now isoko) while enwhe in isoko is closest to urhobo and they even say Yare instead nyaze for cum.

I have this in law from uhweru who was convinced that what my parents were speaking is urhobo while they(my parents) told my sister independently that what her husband was speaking isoko.

But outside of those two towns, maybe another time sha...

bro isoko is a edoid language spoken by the urhobo people of delta state and some part of Bayelsa.. even some kwale friends around me will tell you they're not igbo.. that's a lie. they're igbo.. politics.. religion and so many other things are dividing us.. and we dont even notice it, not until it's too late..

take ijaw as an example
from the picture I attached below.. you'll see list of ijaw spoken languages.. does that mean they're not ijaw?? even Jonathan does not speak the ijaw language mainly recognized by other ethnic groups.. it's a bit diff.. but that doesn't mean hes not an ijaw man

we should learn to differentiate language from ethnicity

GreatChizzy:

I have stated a price difference which represents a contrast in quality of life. Now you tell me what is in Kwale

RED GARRI,... just red garri.. we should not be comparing kale to udu.. even the ignorant girl has never been to udu before

Nwanyiogwashi:
Isoko people as said many times they are not urhobo even influential people in isoko land

for political purpose case closed.. we know our selves

SeamT:


The relationship between agbor, ukwuani ndokwa and the rest of the anioma. Is the same relationship isoko, okpes and urhobo (usually known as sobo) has. So I think if we are comparing population. Its best we do it the right way. Thanks

words.. finally someone with knowledge

Sunshineg5:
Face your Isoko region and let Ishekiri and Ilaje communities speak for themselves.

Ishekiri never wanted to leave Western region or join Delta state, they were forced against their wishes.

but itsekiri doesn't have a boundary with western states nah, bro

darfay:


U dey here dey claim delta/warri as Yoruba Land. Shay if crisis cum shey u fit wait? Instead of you to be concerned about how igbos dominate the economy of lagos and are gaining relevance in ibadan, you are here saying trash

no wait yoruba people go send opc come warri con fight for their own share of the oil

darfay:


I don't agree with this but this not the place for that

whenever you feel like debating this let me know.. my mom is urhobo.. I grew up in urhobo land.. any one saying isoko is not urhobo.. Is either ignorant of the truth.. or doing it for political purpose .. like community chairman, local government chairman,.. community rights etc.. dont be deceived... okpe, uvwie, they're all urhobos

Nwanyiogwashi:
They have to settle that with isoko people

theres nothing there to settle.. you cant tell us who we are

GreatChizzy:

Delta State is an Oil Producing and dependent State, and the Urhrobos are a major contributor of that resources. Tell me how many barrels of Oil the entire Anioma produces!

they contribute in selling fake igbo wears and aba made shoes.. plus frying red garri

AniOmaa:

Hmmm good luck to you guys, but watch out for the Ijaw ooo, they are beginning to encroach on Itshekiri territory in major parts of warri.

this idiot here is trying to divert the topic.. smh

Nwanyiogwashi:
Isoko is different ethnic group from urhobo everybody from Delta state is aware of this

like I said...ignorant ones will say otherwise

Nwanyiogwashi:
Isoko is not urhobo everybody in Delta state knows that.

I told you earlier.. you wont be able to give a single proof on your claims.. other than boast

Nwanyiogwashi:
Are you adding isoko people to it

see the languages under urhobo
I know some isoko people will say they're not urhobo.. they're just been ignorant or doing so for political purposes like local government etc.. dont be deceived

Nwanyiogwashi:
Are you adding isoko people to it

isoko is urhobo.. you're mistaking language for ethnicity.. do a little bit of research on the isoko people.. and you'll see that isoko is just a language in urhobo... just like we have egba, ijebu in yoruba.. so a ijebu man is no longer a yoruba man, shey?? even the ijaws have over 5 diff spoken languages.. so that doesn't make them ijaw??

Adefatima:


Asaba is now a no mans land legendhero

yes asaba is a no mans land afterall nah our money develop their land

even wikipedia will confirm the urhobos as the largest in delta state

GreatChizzy:


At this point I realized this conversation isn't based on facts but on sentiments and opinions. And it is illogical to argue against anyone's opinion, because each is entitiled to own one no matter how baseless, illogical and unsensual it could be.

But as a matter of fact; you cannot bring Asaba into this context same reason you cannot bring Abuja into an argument of "North is more developed than West". Because Abuja is the capital and thus developed with the collective resources of the Nation, same as Asaba being developed with the collective resources of Delta.

bro nah warri develop asaba .. asaba is just a state capital by name..

Nwanyiogwashi:
Who made urhobo people the largest in Delta state? Or are you including isoko people as part of urhobo? Saying that urhobo are the largest in Delta state is like saying that ijaw people are the 4th largest in Nigeria this lies has been exposed many times in Delta state,which is the reason urhobo always attach with isoko people.Anioma beat urhobo in everything both in education, sports, influential both Nigeria and international, and development, people always think that warri belong to urhobo people

this is the reason why they say igbos like to brag.n. and that's what you're doing... urhobos are the largest in delta state.. I wont even argue it with you because you wont be able to give any proof other than boast of how you're good in sport education business whatever.. give me one proof which shows that anioma is larger than orhobo in delta state.. and I will show you 10 diff proof that oppose your claim..

the urhobos and ijaws are the major reason okowa is governor in delta state.. based on political ties to pdp.. aside that.. who knows anioma?? are you forgotten the capital of delta state was suppose to be ughelli before it was shifted to asaba.. like I said urhobos dont speak in one voice.. otherwise we wont be having people like you telling us trash here

GBOKASINCHA:
itsekiri are not yorubas stop attachee by force .....there’s is no Yoruba in delta state ....Yoruba is not among the recognized official languages in delta state ......land grabber

no mind that guy jare.. they wan get leg for delta state affairs by all means.. delta state is not oduduwa land shikina

Nwanyiogwashi:
[[s]quote author=Mystiquefia post=89683768]..Because Just as Niger-deltan States receive more allocation from FAAC revenue, oil producing local governments also receive more at JOINT ACCOUNT MEETINGS between states and local government. So you see why Anioma is no different from the north for instance? They produce less resources but are programmed to benefit more and be spoon food from the resources that ordinarily in situation where absolute control were practiced they wouldn't benefit that much. No Wonder They Call You Delta "north" Because, You're just as parasitic as your Masters in far away north[/s] You're beating around the bush tell me what urhobo people as produce than Anioma people tell me the urhobo land that is more developed than Anioma land tell me any urhobo woman death and alive that is stronger and powerful than Dr Ngozi tell me any footballer from urhobo land that is greater than jay jay okocha tell me the rich man in urhobo land that is richer without corruption case than Dr Ned nwoko tell me any under 22 girl in urhobo land that is powerful than Nwanyiogwashi

honestly I get your point about urhobo.. the orhobo's are the largest in delta state. and they also have most lands in delta.. but they seem to be one of the most irrelevant.. they even find it difficult to win state elections and they have the population... the men sit and drink (ogogoro) their females are very hardworking.... but this I've stated. doesn't mean they contribute nothing to delta state... if you're talking raw materials the urhobos have it over the anioma people.. but for human resources.. I think the igbos have it more.. this is just my opinion.. my mom is urhobo...

the urhobo people have gat to learn to speak with one voice... even the ijaws who are scattered all over ss.. seems to be more organized than them

Sunshineg5:
Yes, the tiny communities that identify with being Yorubas.

Have you forgotten they have Opc amongst the Ishekiri?

opc amongst itsekiri go tell them itseke guys that one first and you'll see that kind of response you'll get.. itsekiri tribe are like children to edo people.. we were taught this in school.. just because itsekiri language sounds similar to yoruba doesn't make them yoruba.. even some parts of ijaw language is similar to yoruba and igbo.. but that doesn't make them yoruba nor igbo..

egun language in lagos and orhobo language is very similar and sounds alike.. but that doesn't make egun languages as urhobo

Bleep off with this nonsense write up.. the ilajes you're talking about migrated to itsekiri land.. you'll even see them amongst the ijaws.. that doesn't mean they're indigenous.. they dont even own 0.0001% of land nor population in delta state..

GBOKASINCHA:
no mind am attachee by force

them wan claim delta state as oduduwa land no wonder IYC blast them seriously..

Sunshineg5:
There are tiny number of people who trace their orgin to Yorubas in Delta state.

theres no yoruba in delta state.. not even a tiny part of them is present

Sammy07:


Don't know.
But I think it's Itshekiris and urhobos

there are 3 major tribes in warri,
urhobo, itsekiri, and ijaw
