delta

Which tribe in delta sir

Kagawa10:
I thought you have an Ukwuani woman as a wife, ask her!
Lol!

No answer us sir



Maybe your in a better position to say that ...you are educating us.let us assume that wify is confused maybe tell the word what ukwuani speaks and what is the meaning of the word ukwuani in whatever language they speak. Then we can ascertain if it is Igbo or Latin they speak

I wait for you master

nwanlecha:
My earnest prayer is that at the end, Biafra will emerge as a homogenous Igbo country, consisting of Anioma, the five eastern states, and Obi Igbo in Rivers state. Really, of what use will be all these other ethnic groups to the Igbo nation? I can't for the life of me figure out why Nnamdi keeps attracting insult to Ndi Igbo by adding these numerous ethnic groups to our cause. I guess he wants a mini nigeria where people with divergent interests are forced to be compatriots. Mtcheww!
The only other ethnic nations I care about and who truly care about us in return, are the Efik and Ibibio nations. The've always been our allies, and they will make great neighbouring nations.

IGBOPRINCE:
hey man..ikwerre re not the problems at all, watch your tongue. That guy hopathand doesn't speaks for the whole of ikwerre tribes. And don't forget, where hopeathand came from, they re more of ijaw/kalabari than core ikwerres.
So one person denying igbos can't make you felt that ikwerres re the problems.
No they re not..

That hopeathand is funny that I must confess but he is a good friend

killalligbos:
God bless you op. I cant even think of being in alliance with the igbos. igbos are a disease. I prefer the Edos. They are wonderful and detribalised set of people. They even have the guts to compare their pathetic selves to the great Edo nation.

where are you from sir

Kagawa10:
Ukwuani aint ibo though! They don't even speak it!

What do ukwuani speak and can you tell me the meaning of ukwuani also

Let us check if it is same with Igbo

That will be for starters

Also can we identify the difference between language and dialect

Goodboiyy:
Bro no offense.. But South South Republic or bi***a republic re childish discussion... there is nothing like that only in your imagination.. if You like create Thread on NL or Argue till tha kingdom com , Nigeria Remains , I hardly comment on Such thread This days, But d madness is just too much, No day 4 NL we nor go see stupid thread.

My reason y I think South South Republic is a big Joke is because We Niger Deltans re Not complaining, all we Need is Resource control, or Better Derivation.. Take 4 Example my tribe, Although we account 4 About 40% of Nigeria Oil production , but never will u see us asking 4 The division Of Nigeria, We re Proudly Nigerians, all we Need is good governance and better derivation Or Is it The Ijaw ? or Urhobo ? Lolz, South South republic is a Big Joke.

just channel d strength u use in Creating this thread to do something meaningful.

Goodmorning

To me south south republic is childish imagination bit Biafra they are real from 1967 and with the price also

Goodboiyy:
madness everywhere... If You like Shout South South Republic till Tha kingdom Come, Or Shout Bi***a, Or shout Niger Delta Republic, Na ur Self u dey do.. Nigeria cannot divide don't you guys get it ?

Am from ND and am Proud of My Country.. I can't Speak 4 Others But I can speak 4 My Tribe, We re proudly Nigerians..

You guys should just stop creating thread Upon thread.. Who 1 divide should do it in the proper way nt NL... Stop polluting this forum With your madness.. What's wrong if you channel the energy u guys use in creating stupid Thread to write something About Your culture ? your people ? , next 1000yrs Nigeria Won't Divide ..

Good Night.

Is Nigeria bigger than USSR or Sudan or even India

.I don't pray for that but there is possibility

spanishkid:
like seriously a lot. What makes you think those you mentioned will want to join you guys? Look here no state from the South south is going to join you in your biafra. Wake up. This is 2015 not 1967.

But the guy is a delta man so why force him to join south south
.
He made it clear


When you people said that delta Igbo isnt core delta don't you know what your doing

Boko haram has turned to be the proverbial cat that has nine lives


I thought they have been deviated and decimated ...does it mean that our army are .....

Make I shut up

BuddahMonk:
To be sincere with you I don't think if you understand this discussion.
The reason why we are talking all these is not that Enugu and Owerri are better than Lagos but due to massive investments of Igbos outside Igboland they could attract hatred, envy and jealousy from the indegenes.

Look at what is happening in Alaba Lagos, do you hear about the problems with Yoruba touts and igbo traders are having at Coker building materials market.
Orji Kalu and Fashola had misunderstanding, the later as Lagos governor shut Kalu's Ikoyi home.

Oba of Lagos threatened you with genocide because he is feeling the heat of Igbos displacing him economically in Lagos, whenever this riot in North Igbo businesses got burnt and shops looted.

Afam you don't even understand where our topic sprouted from, if other tribes doesn't find Igboland viable enough to invest in, Igbos should be stuppidly investing everywhere.
After the war our parents suffered abandoned properties because they were blindly investing eveywhere in Nigeria thinking that anybody gives a ratass about their comfort.

We are hated, so we don't have to give the haters more leeway to hate us more, let's go back to Igboland, everybody is in there lands except us, we are everywhere owing properties in foreign lands 90% in Lagos, 80% in abuja 60% in Kano, 48% in Kaduna bla bla how many people own properties in igboland

Everything about us must not be all about making money, we must have strategic reasoning by applying inverted wisdom, this is how best to be a Nigerian.

To be honest I am happy about this

I think we Igbo are stupid

They should invest home

scholes0:
Ebonyi and Enugu's cases are well known to contain a lot of non-igbo areas. So just stop trying to defend those.
It is the Abia map I am not sure about..... even though there are Ibibio areas within it as well, their extent is the bone of contention here.

Can u tell us about the non Igbo in Enugu

francizy:
Brother! The pic is so on point!!! Don't know what pleasure guys derive from discussing the number of girls they've laid as if its some kind of achievement..

My brother

BuddahMonk:
Which few local government, Isoko has only two LGs with population of less than 50k people.

From Ozoro to Owhe is like 15mins drive scantily populated, after Owhelogbo to Owhe is Emevor next is Iyede all sleepy villages that make up Isoko North.

Isoko South with Oleh as the major town there, from Ozoro roundabout to Oleh is filled with bushes and swamps, Umeh, Aviarra, Ewhe etc are all sleepy villages with good roads tha only see Hilux of oil companies zoom past after every 3 hours
The entire Isoko is too small to be one LG self

I was thinking that they were upto 1 million people seff

Thanks for the Clarification

That's all I can say to any guy here

noblegrex:
are flashy girls not there to be married.when God created eve,she was flashy,sexy,beautiful with nice stature and marry the mother of JESUS is very beatiful too,cos I can see all the pics used in representing them so beautiful.so,God created everything and twas good,so beautiful.flashy girls are meant to b married and not figure head.money is good no1 loves suffering but love is equaly important.the only way you can be sure that a lady loves u,is when you had nothing not when you have everything.even God do test our love for him,just to tell you how important LOVE is.

To me every girl is flashy but notvevey flashy girl is marriage material

Joy1706:
Ur funny sha. Where was she eh? Maybe u were just focused on the flashy gals. Maybe u were focusing on beauty and good sex alone. Maybe u weren't destined to meet her while still struggling. The fact that a girl likes you when ur already made does not make her a gold digger.quote author=tonychristopher po

VickJames:
Igbos are something else. The way we got here, its only God that knows. God just single-handedly blessed us and make us what we're today. It is important that our past can be transformed as strength of the future. If only we can get a good television station that can permeate through different important parts of the country, we can sell both our state and other igbo states too.

What we don't understand is this:

1. We're the highest population of people who had a republican system of government. The western media has turned it to under-civilisation but what people don't understand is that we can turn into an asset. Republican system goes a long way to show that we have been breeding people who can think for themselves, fend for themselves, protect themselves and still become successful without being ruled over.

2. The various wars we fought with the british i.e the ekumeku war and others can be sold as asset too. It will be shown to the world that we're strong and can make things happen when we put our minds to it.

3. We can buy this Equaino's book and try to rebrand it in such a way that it will buttress the fact that the igbos are strong were open to western education and seeking freedom since the time immemorial.

4. Germany, Russia and Poland still sell their war experiences and have used it to tell the world how they've grown past the destruction of the war and where they are at the moment. They show you war sites and call many people to tell war stories and how they ran for their lives. We will show people various videos of then and now, and tell people that many of the kwashiorkwor stricken people of yesterday have become billionaires in their own right. This goes to show how we've come to light after many years of darkness.

5. We sell the image of our greats. Tell the world what they have achieved but academic, business and other facets of life. Show the world how they were home-grown and what they've been doing.

6. We'll use this medium to shield the crimes in the east and bring the governors and senators to light. Show them the manufacturing power of our people.

7. Sell the image of our indigenous manufacturers and businessmen in our land. Show the world what we can manufacture and what we can do with our resources in the east.

8. Change people's perception about the east being an erosion site and show them what we can do in art. This will make our art and culture sector of our states wake up and this will make that industry boom too. If we have programmes in the week that can highlight our artistic prowess, we can drag development to the region.

9. Publicise awards in the east and for people from all works of life. Give awards to many of different regions and country. This will make us less tribalistic and more open to people. Give them award for no reason and make people see us as open people. But this award will be one thing everyone will be looking out for.

10. Make emotional documentary on how someone from grass to grace made it in the east through investing in the east. This will boost the image of the people.

Media is like light beaming on a particular people. When light is shown on you, you will behave well. This will make our youths behave well because light will be on them.

The east shouldn't breed mediocre station and mediocre journalists who can't "go there" or do something crazy to get reports. The east can be a stronghold of development if only we can get these things right.

They may think they won't get subscribers, the opposite will be the case.

We have to start looking at media ..the power of media is immense

Krystalxxx:
Ok. All these guys that are always talking shit. I have been with my bf for quite a long while now. Since we met, I have been funding him with money and foodstuff as he always claimed that he is broke or hungry. Being my first but longest relationship, I adhered to this advice of 'be a helper not a golddigger' but in return he has mocked me by using this money to buy credit for other women and other such goodies. In our long time of sticking through thick and thin, he has never taken me out,. And now that he has graduated before me, I see no 'reward' in sight. Instead, it's as though he's saying 'shebi u thought you had enough to give me right? ' mocking me. Some fellow girls have blamed me for the outcome, saying all this happened because a woman is never meant to help a man out.

In this case you guys should absolutely shut up. You know why? You claim you want helpmates but if you find such a woman you mistreat her. Then you will go for a gold digger with curves all the same.
Obasonjo had wives before he became president. Women who stood by him in his tough times, but he went for Bleached and beautiful Stella who just came to sit on the throne other women worked for. How many stories do we hear of guys who marry a woman with nothing and when the going gets good they discard this woman to bring in a younger one ? I have seen these stories all around me ! In real life! When a woman sticks by you una take her to be a fool, so everyone , all d guys here should stop making needless noise. It's either men don't know what they want or they just love to complain. Abeg park well cuz we know the ending of all these rants even if a woman should stand by you, it's not as if you will appreciate it. We all know that in reality the girl who stands close or spends for his sake is seen as the fool.

Never date a lazy dude ...date a focused dude

No decent man makes financial demands from a woman...it is always the last resort


I agree with you dear

We have bunch of lax and lazy dudes abound

Look for focused dude and you will like this

Orikinla:
My mother of blessed memory, Mrs. Gladys Eke told me a great thing in our mother tongue, Igbo, but translated to English meaning: "A young man saw a beautiful maiden on the way, but he had no money to pay her bride price and just stood there enraptured by her beauty until another man came and paid her bride price and married her. The poor admirer lost her to the suitor who could afford her bride price". Then my mother said the poor man should not have stood there just admiring the beautiful maiden and day dreaming on loving her. He should have gone to work to get the money to pay her bride price and he would not have lost her. No bride price, no bride. Any man without money asking a woman out is only asking for trouble, because he cannot provide for her. Even every dummy knows the popular saying; NO ROMANCE WITHOUT FINANCE. It is even a popular hit song. Even rich girls don't like broke or poor boys. And following the moral of the story. I never asked any girl out when I was still struggling to make ends meet. Several girls liked and loved me, even beautiful Caucasian babes from America and Europe, but I never asked them out. One love crazy one, Mosumola brought money for me to take her out, but I rejected her offer and she left me alone. Peter Okoye found Lola when he went to collect a fat cheque for his performance at the company where she worked and she fell in love at first sight of the cash flow before she even saw his six packs later. When Peter was still poor and struggling, you could see his girlfried in that old picture was not looking happy. Where is she today? She must have cheated on poor Peter and left him. TuFace Idibia lost one beauty queen years ago, because of his poverty. He was so poor that she even gave him some money and left him for one rich older man. God help you when your girlfriend tells you that she is hungry and you cannot afford to feed her or when she needs sanitary pad and you cannot afford one. She wil leave. Finis.

Why are you women make things easy for us men...we believe that we can just fling some was of money and eny woman will open her legs


I am a man that gas family but do you know how many women young women in their teens throw their self on us. Just for few thousands ..thanks for making this easier

Some will even beg you to make them pregnant so that they will be your baba mama


Just because you are giving her some change weekly

Men many single lady are damn too cheap like 80%


Let take this scenario ...you take a girl out she places order and you places order now time to pay the bill ..she insists that she pays hers

Now you take a girl out ..she eats everything ..very broke never had a penny and she is about to leave she beggs you for transport fair maybe with the annoying one air time

As a man who will you respect amongst the two

Now you have a girlfriend ...she is always with you making intellectual inputs in your life advising you..you do have sex with this girl..but if you want to give her money after sex..she gets infuriated ...asking you why? That she is not a slot


Then you have this vane girl that talk Peru hair, manicure and you still have sex with her but while having sex she will ask you to remember to buy her so so and so ..you agree after sex..she will be naked you throw wad of money like 20k in her naked body

Amongst these two ladies ..who is more respectable again



So women are making this very easy for us men



But thanks lord I am a family man ..I take others like Pepsi and drop em

I find this conversation a kind of tiring and soul draining.
I aint gifted with energy to go concentric on same matter that justifies hogwash and still emanate vapid shitt.

The embolded: if you have 3years experience. Sorry to burst your bubble. I'm not only inebriated by it. I'm ineffably witted in that field

If I am to give a sincere advice. I'd say you should hyper-aesthetically exercise
macography, upon the situs, which you tenant,cos if you propell ourself to
the toposphere of my lexical echolon.

The land would be magnamiously conflugrated for a repose.

I was having a civil discuss with you and you went all emotional. I'm not gifted with patience to tolerate that kind of outburst. So I advice you pass[/size]

You ended up confusing the dude instead of communication


You wrote absolutely nothing

JOESAJIB:
That's poor men mentality. Make it big and take good care of your babe. That's the right thing to do.

Is the Babe handicapped that I will take care of her ..is she mentally incapable that she can't take care of her self


Well am married ..met wify while doing service she stuck with me and saw the big picture

Today she is madam ..cruising around ..yet she still keys into the the future with me


So if I am single I will date girls that want money and marry the one that was with me

Adanna28:
Yeah you have a point men shouldn't be mad when a woman goes for ready made men. After all who really wants to go for a woman that can't even hold her own and support herself financially?

This is not the 1950s era where men have to cater to your beck n call, get off your yansh and raise your level.

Yeah if he your husband of course he will support you, but it goes both ways it a partnership for life.

But a mere girlfriend wanting her man to play " Daddy" n supply all her needs? Lol grow a spine and make your own money.

Plus those ready made men aren't looking for commitment, he probably has many side dishes to go with the main meal.

I personally can't live my life like that, using my pus.sy as a bargaining chip to get funds, it the same thing as an ashewo wanting payment for services, I got dignity to me.

I've been with my man through the good and the rough times, even supported him when he been down financially without malice or judgement because I know it just a temporary setback.

He been there for me too when I've struggled, we help each other out, after all it a partnership not queen to slave.

I love my Igbo/Edo Obim very much, man of good conscience, not perfect but hey I ain't exactly an angel myself.

But I stick by him through thick n thin coz I know no matter the circumstances, we hustle n work together to progress.

bigfrancis21:
Interesting article. It is interesting to read of communities and towns ancestrally found by Igbo-speaking people's which would not readily accept today that they were founded by Igbos. Several non-Igbo speaking communities (Ijaw, Ibibio, Isoko etc.) in the Niger Delta were originally founded by Igbos but due to rampant Igbophobia today, these communities would flatly deny any Igbo ancestry or connection to the Igbos. The Igbos are still suffering from the effects of the loss after the Civil war till today.

Urhobos even say 'biko' for please. I don't think they would want to easily accept that they borrowed the word from Igbos.

Not only biko

They call obala for blood
Ngashi for spoon.
Onwuro for he is dead


A lot of many Igbo word...I had isoko colleague then and lived in warri

~ nobody assimiliated 2 anything.its. actually the other way round.they speak isoko language,put on the isoko. attires,the eat our delicacies(uzi,owho,ibiedi,okodo etc),religious beliefs(oghene as the supreme God) & uloho sounds isoko.


~if we go by ur logic here,u find out that the isokos were exapading into ukwale/igbo areas. I think the british came @ d genesis of our expansion. I'd not for civilisation nd colonization would probably had expanded as far as aniocha/oshimili entering into neighbouring rivers state,eating deeper into bayelsa making us the largest ethnic group in the ss


~there is nothing lyk customary tenants. Your igboid cousins must have lost their lands through war nd I guess they are still bitter bout it.or u go help den collect rent


~that ur fishing. Story get k-leg.hw persin catch fish finish con datch am to ur neighbour e put juju for mouth if so uno go slap am commot for him mouth



~those communities are border communities nd mist border communities are bilingual(world wide). Ikiagbodo an ijaw town in delta speaks both ijaw nd urhobo



~isokos are the third largest ethnic group in delta state(urhobo,enuani ibos,isoko,ika,ukwale,ijaw,itsekiri).so how will the isokos @ d border lose there Lang. Md culture to a sparsely populated ikwale wen neighboured by their densely populated brothers?



~the isokos make up more than 15% of ndokwa east nd should be rightly renamed ndokwa/isoko lga



~now if the isokos in ndokwa east wants to be assimilated into isoko south y kill urself bout it after all dey ain't with an albino behind a violent inspiring radio station



~i think we are better empire builders than the binis.if they had adopted our style of expansion nd language spread the bini language would probably b d 4thlargest

~we gonna take over that lga nd speaking their language is of advantage to us coz we gonna be producing the next anioma gov


~the ukwales are not even igbos nd don't blame the isoks there as u did earlier in previous post it's not their fault that they were carved into that lga just lyk igbos in bernue. O put ur house in order in love out of ur anioma being igbo rubish


~ all those towns are part of the ISoKo DeVELOPMeNT UNiOn(idu)

VICTORIA91:
Dear NL,

I'm 25 years old, I met this guy online via chatting and before i knew, we met and we fell deeply in love.This guy is irresistible when we met and i never prayed for something more, because he was so caring, lovely and loving, not only that he is so tall and handsome as i have always prayed for. After a month we knew each other better and every minute i rang him up, he later told me and revealed to me everything about him, because he is not the flamboyant type of guy, i hardly notice that he is loaded.

At age 33 he has a lot of properties and work with a Ministry in Lagos, seconded employment with one int'l institution, he got me int'l passport and took me out of Nigeria shore for the first time in my life. I am from an average family and I'm not easily moved with material things, I'm a working class lady earning moderate salary and living well, i had a relationship before him but not a stable one.

He later revealed to me that he has something to tell me that might tear us apart, i made up my mind since it would not lead to my death, i bet i have reached my bus stop, because he is also in love with me. What a perfect match!. Until the day he bursted it out that he is married with kids and he was sweating and breathing so restlessly, waiting for me to breakup with him, i reassured him i will still love him at that, he explained he impregnated the girl and his family forced him to marry the girl...in short, three kids, two boys and a girl from the woman,(first boy and a twins).

I almost fainted, but pretended as if all is well, at least he still managed to tell me to let me decide to continue or not. We both continued and this month make our 6th month and he is already talking about our marriage, he tried divorcing the first wife, but get warned to let her be to make peace reign, i noticed he loves me so much and also loves his children too well too. He is traveling out soon to study for his PH.D. He wants me to get pregnant for him and do the needful with my family and declare his intentions of taking me as his second wife to his first wife and family...But at this stage i have doubting mind maybe i'm ready to go on or not..i don't feel like ruining the woman's home, and i don't feel like losing this my sweet love, he is not forcing me and he wants me to decide for myself....

Please help me dearies, abuse are allowed at least maybe it will straighten my brain..but i sincerely love him, he promised to settle me down in another state and assured me that all will be well.The issue is i'm so CONFUSED.

Stay away or be ready to welcome Mr. Nemesis



But why is it that ladies are this stupid ..so in your wildest dream you think that such a dude won't be married


Stay the fvck away from him or the wife will bath you with acid ...pls I advise you


Go look for a man that you can build future together


Bye

Gbam!!! This is just what it is. Had Biafra won the war or if there was no war will all this crap come up ?? How come nobody denied their Igboness pre-Nigeria civil war years ??
Just to avoid marginalization many denied their roots even when their names state boldly who they are. Off course it was a futile exercise.

But the people that caused the war are from delta Igbo ...90% of those bastards are from delta Igbo

Now this is what we mainland Igbo get


Well I know pure Igbo there and the few dinials are those that make noise and they are from agbor and ukwuani


Maybe they should ask why swampy clans of delta reference them as non core deltans
