Pls check what I wrote above.
I don't explain twice.

Ode.
You don't know my state more than myself.
Deputy Governor of Ondo state is Hon (Barr) Ajayi Agboola Alfred. He married an Ondo girl. He's from Kiribo in Ese Odo local government.


Western Apoi tribe of the Ijaw people live in Ondo State, Nigeria. The tribe (also called Ijaw Apoi or Apoi) consists of nine settlements: Igbobini, Ojuala, Ikpoke, Inikorogha, Oboro, Shabomi, Igbotu, Kiribo and Gbekebo. The Apoi inhabited higher ground than most of the other Ijaw tribes. They speak the Yoruba language as they no longer speak the Ijaw language . They are bordered to the north by the Ikale and to the west by the Ilaje. The clan also shares border with the Arogbo Ijaw to the south and the Furupagha Ijaw to the east across the Siloko River.


What's your next statement
I told you earlier that they have been Yorubanized.
Go and speak Ijaw to him if he'll understand

Stop smoking weed bro.

Ijaws are not indegines but settlers and migrants

superlightning:
Another ethnic group? Anioma is Igbo first Mr Smart-by-Half. Efik, ibibio, ogoja, etc fought with igbos
.

Sunshineg5:
Ese Odo local government area is not beside the ocean but actually beside the Benin river

Ilaje local government area are beside the ocean

Hence, the ilajes are the oil producers in Ondo state

BlowYourMind:
Yorubas are indeed accommodating and loving

Sunshineg5:
Ijaw in Lagos?

How did they fly from Delta Coastal areas to Lagos?

For avoidance of doubt, Ondo coast line to Ogun to parts of Lagos is inhabited by Ilajes and Ijebu

And a decent portion of Delta coastline was inhabited by ijebu and Ilaje communities who now call themselves Ishekiri.

superlightning:
Who mentioned secession here? Not even ALL igbos on the Eastern side of the Niger wants secession.

My issues with you guys is limiting igboland to SE only. That's dubious and silly.

Ukpabi Asika an onitsha man opposed Biafra while Air raid Achuzia another Igbo from Anioma fought bravely and proudly for Biafra. So stop limiting Biafra enthusiasts to SE alone.

tested4sure:
Ojukwu died a nigerian, a retired nigerian soldier. Greate Saro wiwa died a Niger deltan, a greate Ogoni son. Ojukwu told his igbo brothers never to seek biafra again, Saro wiwa told his fellow ogonis and oppressed minorities to keep on the fight. to ojukwu, the igbos are comfortable in nigeria, but to saro wiwa, minorities can never be comfortable in nigeria. so, onbehave of saro wiwa, i would say to ojukwu and his brothers "welcome to nigeria". Somebody will say "we need former eastern region, nigeria is a creation of the british" the question is who created the eastern region?,

tested4sure:
The lesson leant here is, once u ar taged minority in nigeria then u ar not suppose to speak or challeng the so called majority 3(hausa, igbo, yoruba). Ken asked question, "why shld u take oil from Ogoni land to developed other places like lagos, abuja,enugu, without any project sited in Ogoni"? 'why do u chosed to give jobs to people outside not even up to 0.2% of the shell workforce were ogonis?. these question could not be answered by any of the useless so called 3 majority groups. instead they resort to blackmail. for those that are ranting ken betrayed biafra, ken goodmorning ,my question is, what stops they igbos from joining ken to fight off what they now say is a common enermy (hausa fulani) if all there is a single common enermy? of couse they would never want minority to lead and they igbos now they followers. Isaac Boro asked the then corrupt eastern government and federal government that same two questions, same faith visited him eastern governmenet lead by their corrupt igbo leaders arrested him. now i ask the question, who stops they igbos from joining the ijaws to fight off this so called commom enermy? no ijaws can lead and they follow. summary of this is that they strugle to free from this greedy corrupt wazobia must continue till total libretion of they minority groups especially in southern nigeria and middle belt.

superlightning:
e-diots assume Geopolitical zones to represent ethnicity.

Morons don't realize that igbo communities are in the SE and SS geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

hunter21:
I am not from the east or "south south" but I have to say, this Nnamdi kanu is probably the most intelligent person in Nigeria at the moment.
Like I have always thought, what is the point of putting calabar and edo in the same "geo-political zone" what do they even have in common.
The whole geo-political zoning of a thing is nothing but a lie from Satan.

MightySparrow:
In their banana or Biafra the minorities should be careful. The Yoruba soldier that supported the struggle was ordered to be killed by Ojukwu himself. The master betrayers themselves accuse Awolowo of betrayal for their failure.

humilitypays:
My dear sister, I understand your anger, you have the right to be angry with my words but what I said is how many or majority of Niger Delta minority tribes feel about Igbos; they always feel Igbos are the major enemy just because Aguiyi Ironsi stopped Adaka Boro from making a move to secede from Nigeria....of course any President will make effort to stop secessionist all over the world. That is why I don't blame Buhari for his clamp down on IPOB, I only blame him for unleasing Nigerian armed soldiers to kill unarmed IPOB and non IPOB protesters if not, Buhari did no wrong stopping secessionists in his tenure cos its an insult to any sitting President.


But my anger with Niger Delta minority tribes is most of them are shallow in thinking to believe an Igbo man who does not wait for revenue from Abuja to be their biggest enemy in Nigeria. An Igbo man who has never ruled Nigeria since 1966, isn't that madness

You talked about 2nd Niger Bridge or whatever being built with Niger Delta crude oil, have you forgotten that Southeast also have crude oil being mined even as we speak in Imo State and Abia states


Southeast crude oil deposits may not be as huge as the ones in Niger Delta based on today statistics from Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba controlled federal government bodies and secret military enshrined policies to impoverish Igbo states and suppress Igbos from making further move for secession after the end of the civil war in 1970, but still if the crude oil deposits in the Southeast as falsely under-reported by Nigerian government of today is left for Southeast region alone to make use of, it is more than enough for Southeast development; where it becomes small is when it is to be shared by the whole Nigeria stretching from south to north.

Let me enlighten you so you don't join others in the bandwagon, one month crude oil revenue from Shell and Adax Petroleum exploration in Uguta Lake, Uguta Imo State alone will fix 2nd Niger Bridge and many other Southeast roads, so face your real enemies - the north!


My other anger with today Niger Delta people is their quickness to attack and condemn Biafra agitation, instead of them to remain quiet or even use the opportunity to also agitate for their own Niger Delta nation where they can have total control of their so called crude oil.



And you called Igbo businesses spare parts business and I laugh, oh you think only the Igbos selling spare parts and petty trading you see all over Nigeria are the only Igbo business men It will shock you to discover that majority of the manufacturing and production plants in Nigeria are owned by Igbos, forget Aliko Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga bla bla bla...they are just single individuals making wave in a whole tribe....in Igbo land, in my community alone, we have so many industrialists who own manufacturing plants and factories producing the things you and I make use of everyday.......maybe you are not aware that the owner of the biggest manufacturer of the biscuits you, your kids and kids all over Nigeria eat everyday is an Igbo man.....what about the hot drinks almost every poor Nigerian man, drivers, conductors, etc drink on daily basis.....owned by Igbo man, where do I start or stop Igbo businesses are far beyond the spare parts traders, building material traders, and artisans you see all over Nigeria and beyond, Igbos are also key players in industrialisation and production even beyond Nigeria.

My little self even own a small production plant I started shortly after NYSC....and you are there talking spare parts biz, and even the spare parts dealers, most of them will end up as automobile assembling plants and owners of other business outfits, you really don't know the entrepreneurial spirit of an average Igbo man sha, no wahala, ignorance is allowed

flokii:
Rest on Ken Saro Wiwa.. a great son of the Niger Delta

Sadly, our system doesn't reward true heroes but oppressors.

eagleu:
Any last minute speech from the other Niger Delta saboteur, what's his name? Boro, before his new found lovers also snuffed the life out of him?

AnambraIstSon:
.

Ijaw is Biafra!

AnambraIstSon:
X

Our Biafra brother of SE is unknwon, sigh. Ndi Igbo, this Yoruba have started with their propaganda, their people in Apple have gone to manipulate things.

MightySparrow:
Why are ijaws now saying they are no longer part of biafra? any conspiracy?

MightySparrow:
So Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not correct in the absolute abi?

MightySparrow:
Well for the first time, i sympathize with this fellow. But my reservation is on the meaning of biafra. Bia, I know, means come in igbo, but the 'fra' there sounds like fura or fraud. Fulani's fura is sweet wilh nunu but fraud?

NaijaRoyalty:
Makinde is a man with good heart

PDP governors are doing well for their people I must say .

God bless the people's governor , His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde (GSM)

SocialJustice:
Akpabio and his IMC needs to go. Buhari needs to take decisive action on NDDC as he has done in the presidency, TCN and NECO.

aniomafirstson:
Education
Generally Deltans are one of the most educated minded people in the whole of Southern Nigeria.
But in this regard we have to give it to the Aniomas as there is no family from that area without someone with a masters or PhD degree.

Aniomas were among the first educated people in Southern Nigeria by virtue of Onitsha.
Most Aniomas at that time attended schools like Dennis Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha, which was established in 1925. St. Thomas College, Ibusa (1928)
St. Charles College, Onitsha (1929)

Whereas their urhobo counterpart got exposed to education in the early 1940s. The first school in urhobo land was Urhobo College, Effurun which was established in 1946.

Aniomas boast of professors like Obi Prof Joseph Chike Edozien, the Asagba of Asaba. Professor Emmanuel Nwanze, former VC of uniben. Etc.

Also we can't leave out the fact that the famous Olaudah Equaino the first black man to write a book hailed from Ashaka in Anioma.

Political relevance
Anioma also trumps in this aspect as far as Nigeria is concerned. They have held sensitive positions in the past. They boast of notable names like Dennis osadebe who was the first premier of the Midwestern region and he was also the leader of the movement to create the Mid-Western region during the Nigerian First Republic. He also held the position of the Senate president from 1960 to 1963.

We should not forget Ngozi okonjo iweala who i describe as the most powerful black woman in today's world. You can check Wikipedia for her CV. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngozi_Okonjo-Iweala

Even in this current regime they hold the most posts.

Godwin emefiele holds the position of the governor of central bank of Nigeria.
His deputy also hails from Anioma.
That's mad ass political relevance

Human capital development
There is a reason why the Managing Directors of most firms and organisations hail from Anioma.
Aniomas control about 50% of the banking and finance sector in Nigeria.

IGR and GDP
It is Crystal clear that the urhobos beat the Aniomas in this aspect

Industrialization
Urhobo 60%
Anioma 40%

Warri is currently more industrialized than Asaba although Asaba is fastly catching up. Urhobo boast of towns like ughelli, sapele, Abraka whereas Aniomas boast of towns like Agbor, kwale, obiaruku. Asaba is also expanding into towns like ibuzo and okpanam. Don't forget most Anambra indigenes now build houses in places like Asaba. This might give Anioma an edge in the future as both Asaba and onitsha are twin cities.

Entertainment
Urhobo 50%
Anioma 50%

Urhobos are mainly found in the comedy part of the entertainment industry. They have produced comedy greats like I go dye, I go save, Ali baba, Akpororo etc...Warri is the home of comedy in Nigeria.

Aniomas are mainly found in the Nollywood area
Of entertainment. They have produced veterans like Enebeli elubuwa, Emeka ossai, Francis odega etc... Also asaba is the home of Nollywood.

Sports
Anioma 65%
Urhobo 35%

Anioma lead by a wide margin. It is rumored that people from that area churn out the most athletes in Nigeria.
They have produced greats like
Stephen keshi: Former captain of the super eagles
Took Togo to their first world cup
The second person to win the afcon as a player and as a coach
The first black man to take a country past the group stage of the world cup etc

Sunday oliseh
Jay Jay okocha
Nduka ugbade
Joel obi
Wilfred Ndidi
Chidi odiah etc

Urhobos are also not lacking in this area as they have produced talents like blessing okagbare, Augustine Eguavoen, oghenekaro etebo, Tammy Abraham etc.


All in all the two groups are wonderful and unique people but we just have to give it to the Aniomas. The amount of the human resources from that area is mind blowing. Too many great brains from that region.

A region that produced the largest ground troops during the civil war.
A region that produced warlords like Joe achuzia, Nzeogwu, onwuatuegwu, okwechime, Albert okonkwo etc
A region that produced wonderful brains like Tony elumelu, Jim ovia, Nduka obaigbena, Benedict Peters, Austin avuru ojunekwu, Pat utomi, Ibe kachikwu etc is not to be joked with.

What I see here is a group of people arguing over which tribe is more important than the other in Delta state.Of cos every tribe will say their tribe is more important in areas of values, population, social/political relevance etc.
If only we could use this energy as a think tank to suggest ways our restive and lazy youth in Delta state can be de-radicalize from their troublesome way of doing things, which have prevented investors from seeing Warri/Delta state as a peaceful and good place to invest in.

We are always at each others neck to brag over who is better than the other..do you guys expect the other tribe to stand bye and accept to be looked down on by another tribe? of cause not..so why do we always engage in this kind of argument that add no value to our very existence? of what good is this argument anyway? All the claim over land by the Ijaw, Urhobos and the Itsekiris , how has it brought development to the land?.All I see are some group of leaders who feel entitle to Warri so that they can continue get royalties from companies/Govt in order to fill up their pocket and that of their cronies. While the land is left under developed and their people linger in abject poverty with decaying and polluted environment.
It was under the eyes of this Obas that our environment were polluted and degraded by oil companies. And what did they do? Nothing. They looked the other way and allowed their subject to suffer undue hardship as a result of the environmental pollution caused by oil spillage . As far as I cam concerned these obas and ovies' title should be scrapped.

Warri is in a sorry state becos the Itsekiris feel they have more right to the land while the Urhobos & Ijaws are always contesting it.And the result is violence and youth restiveness.There is no meaningful development in Warri today becos each tribe has often tried to sabotage any development in different location of another tribe since the project is not sited on their region.why?

Why cant we discuss on how to change the mind of our youth from their entitlement mentality through a social/Govt program for this very purpose?. Why cant we let them see that the reason Warri is in a sorry state state is because of their violent and restive nature? .They need to understand that due to their troublesome nature they have succeeded in chasing out companies and investors that are suppose to provide jobs for the them and their community. They should understand that the reason the oil companies have refused to return their head quarters back to Delta/River state is becos of who we are..our people are not peaceful at all.We are too violent and myopic..they see gra gra as a way of life. Our Lazy youth/their leaders do not see beyond their nose and always want fast money through their entitlement behavior. Now there is hunger in the land and this same youth have resorted to robbery and kidnapping as a way of life. We should be concern about restoring Warri to the way it was when we had companies that went about their businesses without the tribal wars of the Three tribes getting in the way.

All these stupid argument of which tribe is more important than the other or who is more entitled to Warri is all rubbish.I dont know why the black man will never sit down to think on how to solve a problem but would rather be masturbating over who he is better than in other to make him feel good .That is a pathetic way of thinking.
