What is "Niger Delta" Anyway..... Wetin concern Uyo man with Warri man?
Totally meaningless.The Western Niger Delta has always had more to do with the Yoruboids and Edoids, while the Eastern Niger Delta has always had more to do with the Igbos.

That is just the PURE fact.

Myhighdreams:
find a friend and stay with for the meantime . get to know the surrounding better first before looking for a better accommodation to settle in. uyo is one hell of a crazy, lively and fun loving city. you will enjoy schooling there

Holamidhe:


A pleasure

Please stay out of politics. Election is always hot in Akwa Ibom state not to mention the recent Akpabio defection to APC.
Beware of Akwa Ibom girls or master the use of condom..
Let me tell you a story. When I came here newly, We (with my friends) decided to know our HIV status at the nearby primary health centre out of curiosity and because of free condom .. I think 9 out of 30 on the book they used for recording are HIV positive


If I may ask, when are you resuming?

Dblock89:
To start with why can’t you stay in the hostel(M2) for your first year so that you can get to know the place know and the culture of the environment then in your second year you can get yourself accommodation outside and believe me you will spend less in the hostel but you are not allow to cook, whatever ways you chose you will enjoy the environment and the school generally so just relax your mind.

Holamidhe:


I heard the ban of bike reduced crime rate drastically. Election is around the corner, please stay out of politics because they don't joke with it.

Things are always expensive in capital city but believe me, you will find your way around it.

Almost 40 minutes drive will be just 100 naira, so you can actually go to another local government and get things cheap

Holamidhe:


I am currently around Uyo. You have nothing to be afraid of. Accommodation is on the high side in Uyo which is peculiar to all state capital. (120k to 200k)

If you don't fancy personal space, you can share rent with another student. Your school is located around plaza which is the main city shopping centre.

You will surely be amaze with the transport system here, it is very cheap and fast. Six different routes may lead to your destination.

Feel free to ask any question

tandoe:
its possible bro if only we decide to give seriousness to it

Sharpshooota:

Well done... We need more almajiris to man our Gates

YorubaFynest:


In brotherhood ko in Nollywood ni. Keep lying to yourself. Nigeria is not united now and it will never be.

Yorubaland, the most peaceful Islamic and Christian region in Nigeria, the most progressive region in the South, the most democratic African tribe, the most accommodating (foolishly) people in Nigeria.

We have nothing in common with extremist in the south and hostile people in the East.

scholes0:


I'll come back to you with details because right now, I can't type long notes.



You are knocking yourself out, seriously.
You started it yourself, by making a list of ethnic groups that ARE NOT the same but share close kinship, and then are getting confused over same issue. The strongest links itsekiris have with any other ethnic group are with Yorubas.
Is Epie Urhobo?

fero007:


nor mind dem, later they will claiming dat its igbos dat are immature, nonsense entities

well dis adds to d endless list of pepo with very close culture but r still diff tribes like:

hausa/fulani
igbo/ika/ikwerre/ukwani
efik/ibibio/oron/annang
urhobo/isoko/epie
ogoni/eleme

n now
yoruba/okun/ilorin

good to know

Also if the oba of that time during the Benin kingdom days had allowed all the ethnic groups that migrated from Benin to speak Bini, a lot of the ethnic groups in south south like delta Bayelsa and part of rivers would have been Edo today. So we all would have been the same ethnic group speaking the same language.
The Yorubas of today only were not one monolithic group until the British created Nigeria. Before colonization they were just Yoruba speaking peoples. When Nigeria came about all the Yoruba speaking peoples became Yoruba. And some Yorubas in Ondo and Ekiti May have migrated from Benin and inter married with the Yorubas there.
So we are all inter connected. Even Anioma are a blend of Igbo and Edo, with some Anioma groups being more Igbo, and other Anioma groups being more Edo. Some Ibibio Efiks also have a strong connection with Igbos. Some are mixed with Igbos. We are all one of the same. One Nigeria
One love to Nigeria

Favor99:

Thanks. Oh wow nice, we’re all related and connected. We’re all one. It’s nice that we’re brothers. Do Ijaws in Rivers come from Benin to?

Favor99:

Nice, cool. So are most Ijaws in Bayelsa originally from Benin? Do most Ijaws in Bayelsa and Delta originate from Benin or just half of them.
I always like learning more of Nigerian culture.
I grew up abroad

Favor99:

Yea I know. That’s cool. Ijaw culture is beautiful.
Your from Epie Atissa right? Is most of Bayelsa Epie Atissa or just Yenagoua?

Favor99:

Hey! Thanks so much bro. Sorry for the late reply. One bogus mod banned me for some bogus reason for 2 days.
But thanks, it’s good that there’s good people on here.
One love to you to bro

Hey my brother. I’ve noticed that since 2017 there’s been a sudden hate towards Edo here. It wasnt like that before 2017. It may seem like paranoia but it’s true. On any page or thread where there is a notable Edo figure like a celebrity or an athlete
Or politician, people start shouting insults and saying all kinds of abhorrent things. They don’t do that to any other group. And the mods are fueling this by posting mainly negative stuff about the state.
If it’s a thread about a Yoruba or Igbo celebrity people will be praising the person. If it’s Edo, they’ll be saying stuff like “is this news”? Why is it on here? “I don’t like their outfit? “The person in olosho”
Nigeria is being divided anyhow by the whites and their Nigerian stooges causing hate everywhere

Favor99:
I pray that God protects him and brings him home safely. God please bless him and his family

But people go missing throughout Nigeria, it’s only when it happens in Edo that they want to put it front page. Boko Haram is kidnapping people here and there, why is that not front page.

These tribalistic sell out mods just want to smear Edo State as much as they can.
A disproportionate amount of negative news about Edo makes front page. One would think Edo is just as big as Lagos with the amount of negative news the sellout mods put in front page.

In Ondo one woman bit of her landlords lips, but was that front page? No! No it wasn’t!
People that go missing everywhere in the world is what makes front page.

Just so they have something negative to say about Edo. These people and their agendas to spread hate and division in Nigeria
