Trottle: Who is separating them? look at the Bassa Nges for example, their territory is not contiguous with the rest of nupeland. the Kakandas too are quite far off from kin Nupe and the only access they have is a river link to Baro from where there they actually migrated downstream, nothing more. All the other groups are known to outsiders as Nupe only. Only Nupe people actually even know that they usually separate themselves. Certainly not the fault of the outsiders. 1 Like 1 Share |

The Nupe of Nigeria inhabit the "low basin formed by the valleys of the Niger and Kaduna rivers, between 9ºE 30' & 8ºE 30' north." They occupy an estimated total land area of about 7,000 square miles. With reference to a modern map of Nigeria, Nadel delineates Nupe's southern boundary to be a line drawn from Leaba, on the Niger, eastward to Kataeregi marks the northern boundary of Nupe land, another line drawn eastward from Shari (or Tsaragi) to Abugi and on to the Niger south of Baro ....http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za/pub/article/view/151 That shows you that the Yoruba country on the East side of the Upper Ogun forest reserve axis actually terminates at the banks of the Niger 4 Likes 1 Share |

Trottle: I can say the same about Nupe that is not even a "super tribe" and conclude that the Dibos are not nupe, the Kakandas are not Nupe, Kupas aren't Nupe as well, Gupa, etc. Because all these groups have their different peculiarities. So you see. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Trottle: Yoruba race was not created out of "Thin air" There were strong sociolinguistic factors and ethno cultural elements that determined what clans were Yoruba and what clans were not. Okene to Kabba or Akoko land inOndo state is less than 20 minutes on keke, yet the colonial masters did not label the Egbiras as Yoruba. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Trottle: "All cultural traits of the Igbomina people portray them as Yoruba. Although under colonial rule they were partitioned to the North and South, they still remained either in the Yoruba provinces of the South or in the Southern part of the Northern provinces–contiguous towww.academicjournals.org/article/article1381857172_Ibiloye.pdf Anyways, in a plebiscite , shebi it is the native people that will vote abi? No need to argue over something that the Jebbans themselves will decide. You know Yorubas are not known for "land grabbing" tendencies. We call Jebba the last Yoruba town before Oke Oya (Northern) for a reason, the claim is not baseless brother. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Trottle: Kwaran Jebba is NOT in Moro, it is in Ifelodun. Yoruba is what they speak, Nupe migrants there from across the Niger and from Edu speak Nupe or both. The Pako-Jebba (Kwara side) are Yorubas and speak Yoruba. Neither do they have an Etsu like all the other traditional Nupe settleents around. Only Jebba Niger (Mokwa L.G.A ) have a community head that is an Etsu Yankpa in person of Tetengi Mohammed. The Kwaran Jebba have their Oba in like manner. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

Trottle: I know there are two Jebbas, Jebba North is in Niger, and Jebba is in Kwara. The Kwara Jebba in Ifelodun local government, Yoruba is what I know to be the predominant language there. The Jebba in Kwara could have verry well been added by the Kwara state Government or the FG to EDU local government, lafiagi- with which they share a border at Bacita and Shonga, but it remains in Ifelodun for linguistic and cultural reasons, which is that they are not Nupes. btw, How was Lugard Anti Nupe? care to explain that part? 4 Likes 2 Shares |

fratermathy: The White colonialists started this rubbish when they called the Ibibio-Annangs "Kwa-Ibos" or sorta like "Quasi Igbo", a very derogatory term for a people with their own culture and history. Thank God, these days the Ibibios are putting their history of past existence under Igbo hegemony very quickly behind them and forging ahead with their truly found independence as Aka Ibomites. The Efika are doing the same. You think it is by mistake these Igbos are actively seeking to use "style -style" to bring back the old eastern region and other minorities under the political guise of "Biafra", so that they can culturally colonize them? lol I pity any minority that falls into that trap. |

PrecisionFx: Someone thinks he is speaking with a foolish noob, lol. There are NO Igbo villages in Kogi. Several Igalas have come out to deny it. I am member of their mega forums on Facebook. They say the only things Igbo MAY have in southern Igalaland are farming settlements built by migrant farmers, and that is also the case in Benue. That is why Agila and still fighting Mgbo in Ebonyi over land and farming resources with till date. Tell me why odeke, one of the closest Ibaji communities to Anambra had to fight you Igbo people so violently over boundary dispute if Igboland spills into Kogi? Idoma communities along the Ebonyi and Enugu borders have good relations with their Igbo neighbors and as such also speak Igbo as a language, but using that avenue to claim that their villages are Igboland is just plain treacherous.... And dangerous. Keep decieving yourselves. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Noccerino: Your nairaland ink is pure rubbish because in the context of boundary adjustment, you will need to mention the name of the towns and villages that need to be moved to the other side. Not just claiming some phantom farmlands and the labourer workers there as Igboland. If you want parts of Benue to be moved to South East on the basis of them being Igbo, then that is between you and the Idoma/Igede people who claim all those lands as theirs. To the second part of your statement, I could care less if Anioma join south East, but they will need to pay back the rest of Delta because every public structure in Asaba and environs was built with our money. 2 Likes |

Noccerino: All of a sudden, you can't mention the names of towns anymore, even though you have been mentioning how Egun is from Burkina Faso and how You want Eche since morning, lol. Now, you want me to go and use google to find the names of phantom towns. When have you ever seen an Ikwerre person wanting to be South Eastern? The same person asking me to go and use google didn't find it useful himself to know what is Kwara south.lol. I laugh in Okrika. And Finally, who told you I am Yoruba? lol If anioma ever enters South East, and carries all the joint infrastructure in Asaba with them, you Igbos will have to pay the rest of Delta State Billions of Naira used to build that town. 2 Likes |

Noccerino: Well, if you can list the so called "Benue Igbo" towns that should be moved, why not? Olukumi villages of delta should be moved into Edo, while Igbanke village of Orhiomwon should be moved into Delta/Anioma. Itsekiri should also be moved to Edo state, so that the Eddos can have a coast, and also share a state with their half brothers. Kwara South and Okun land (Kogi West) should also be moved into the South West. Ikwerre don't wanna join the South East.... there is no argument on that front. |

Noccerino: Ok, Agreed. Igalas are a minority in Anambra. Olumbanasaa vilages should be ceded to Kogi. Effium in Ebonyi should be in Benue, while Northern tip of Enugu is majority Idoma. |

Cire80: First there is no definite PROOF that Oduduwa was an Edo prince, that you are quoting the Benin side of the story doesn't make it true, since that is Benin's version. 2 - You as an Ika can enter Biafra with your Ika communities, but don't be acting like you are now a spokesperson for Benin people. The fact that Benin People are vehemently against the breaking up of Nigeria because they know that if that happens, they will have to go with Oduduwa. When a referendum for independence occurs to chose between Oodua and Biafra, you honestly think Omorogbe from Benin, Balogun family from Ibillo, Bello from Auchi, and Adesua from Siluko will chose Biafra?

Cire80: So you are the Insider that is going to carry Edo into Biafra? lol What is wrong with some of you people? How will Edo fit into the giant Jigsaw puzzle that is Biafra, with their history, almost Godly reverence for their Oba and all that stuff? Do you know there are Yoruba communities in Ovia North East and Ovia South West? and some other places that speak a Yoruba-Edo mixture? How about Akoko Edo, Owan, Auchi and all those places? Edos fit in Oduduwa 80% and nowhere else, even the Edos know it, unless they just want to do small shakara for the Yorubas, like a girl playing hard to get. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Noccerino: Okay, and if they are only one of such in the SW, How does that make the south West Multiethnic? Mind you, this is the original statement by an Igbo, on which our argument is based on off. Why should the SE alone be the geopolitical zone in nigeria that have one ethnic group and the remaining 5 geopolitical zones in nigeria have average of 60 ethnic groups each. |

Noccerino: I never said they don't have their language, I said they speak Yoruba, as well as bear Yoruba namesand share close resemblance in ancestral religion etc. Is that wrong? In some places , they are indistinguishable from Yoruba. Egun communities in Nigeria call their rulers Oba, while those in Benin call their Kings Aholu. So, you are now the Master of Egun tradition or what? The last part of your statement shows How IGNORANT you are, because Eguns believe in Mawu-Lisa just the same way Yorubas have their Oduduwa. Mawu Lisa is the mother of all Humanity. According to them, Mawu created all things as she was being moved around the primordial earth in the mouth of Ayida Xwedo. Just concentrate on your igbo affairs biko. |
