how did lagos, imo and anambra become part of niger delta? OP, you have to go and learn your regional geography. |
Re: Ranking Population And Major Tribes In The Nigerdelta region by pazienza(m): 10:26pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
eghuan1: What is Niger delta? That's the question you should be asking. |
Re: Ranking Population And Major Tribes In The Nigerdelta region by Ugomba(m): 10:33pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
@op.. In crude oil production, Delta State is number one.. |

pazienza: for your enlightenment. Thank me later. this was lifted from wikipedia Geography The Niger Delta, as now defined officially by the Nigerian government, extends over about 70,000 km 2 (27,000 sq mi) and makes up 7.5% of Nigeria's land mass. Historically and cartographically, it consists of present-day Bayelsa , Delta, and Rivers States. In 2000, however, Obasanjo's regime included Abia , Akwa-Ibom , Cross River State , Edo , Imo and Ondo States in the region. Some 31 million people [2] of more than 40 ethnic groups including the Bini, Efik, Esan, Ibibio , Igbo , Annang, Oron , Ijaw , Itsekiri, Yoruba , Isoko, Urhobo, Ukwuani , and Kalabari , are among the inhabitants in the Niger Delta, speaking about 250 different dialects. The Niger Delta, and the "South South Zone", which includes Akwa Ibom State , Bayelsa State , Cross River State , Delta State , Edo State and Rivers State are two different entities. While the Niger Delta is the oil-producing region the Nigerian South South is a geo- political zone. hope you were able to comprehend it? |

eghuan1: Lol! As long as you are using states which are political terms to define Niger delta, then Niger delta becomes a political term. For avoidance of doubts, Niger delta in the Nigerian political term includes : Abia, Delta,Bayelsa,Akwa-ibom,Cross rivers, Edo,Imo, Ondo,Rivers. |
Re: Ranking Population And Major Tribes In The Nigerdelta region by eghuan1(m): 8:13am On Sep 07, 2015 |
you have obviously lost it, but I will grant you the time to redeem yourself, so Please go ahead and educate us on how a South Easterner became a Niger Deltan and please remember that Niger Delta is different from South South which actually does not come into this arguement right now. Please conclude your theory before I come from work and I close before 2pm |

eghuan1: First of all wat is delta Delta is a land where a river empties into the sea or ocean, nigerdelta is a land where the river niger empties into the sea or ocean And river niger crossed anambra,edo,delta,running into abia and imo down to other places, the original nigerdelta supposed to be delta,bayelsa,rivers,akwaibom,abia and imo. Cross river is attached because of oil and gas like wise edo,lagos,anambra,ondo and edo, Why is there no BENUEDELTA

cybertyrant: since you said it passes through anambra, you should havr added, Kogi, Niger state and maybe Benin republic as well as the Futa Djallon regions |

Na when the east and west became Niger delta? You forgot to include ekiti, kwara, gombe, zamfara and others. You can only deceive yourself but not us. SOUTH SOUTH STATES: *Rivers *Delta *Bayelsa *Akwa Ibom *Edo *Cross River NIGER DELTA STATES: * Rivers * Delta * Bayelsa OIL PRODUCING STATES: * Akwa Ibom-53 * Delta-44.9 * Rivers-44 * Bayelsa-25 * Edo-8 * Imo-3 * Ondo-2 * Abia-1 * Cross River 1 or nothing Don't mix this up next time |

eghuan1: Cant you at least Google what Delta means before disgracing yourself in public. If you don't know please ask. This is the definition of a Delta: A delta is an area of low, flat land shaped like a triangle, where a river splits and spreads out into several branches before entering the sea. Please learn to argue constructively. |
Re: Ranking Population And Major Tribes In The Nigerdelta region by MufasaLion: 8:39am On Nov 27, 2021 |
OP is right about his Niger Delta definition. |
Re: Ranking Population And Major Tribes In The Nigerdelta region by omaclarry(m): 9:43am On Nov 27, 2021 |
eghuan1: You wia asked meaning of Niger delta, u re busy making a political statement. First search the meaning of delta in Google then attach Niger as a prefix. Note: Niger is a water body in this context. |
Re: Ranking Population And Major Tribes In The Nigerdelta region by YoungRay007: 9:48am On Nov 27, 2021 |
Chai, so cross river state is no longer an oil producing state. Lagos discovered one cup of oil after that, the well dried. |
Re: Ranking Population And Major Tribes In The Nigerdelta region by Ttalk: 9:55am On Nov 27, 2021 |
cybertyrant: Lagos has been producing oil for many years at Dahomey basin by Folawiyo company. It is very visible if you every visit Badagry beach or travel through Seme border. Stop making statement that would make you look like illiterate and uninformed |
