At bold is what attracted the attention. Your post would have been beautifully objective without the bolded.

What is wrong with the boldened? Is it a lie? Are Igbos the only culprits of the boldened? Are Urhobos Igboid? None of the ethnic groups that my essay covers are Igboid in any sense. So why are Igbos ejaculating over this thread?

I don't have to appeal to the sensibilities of Igbos because I didn't write this article for them. I wrote it for Urhobos and other Niger Deltan non-Igboid ethnic groups. Igbos, as usual, have hijacked it and spoilt their image further.

In any case, that statement was not borne out of bad blood. It is well defended in the following sentences where I said it is not bad to be a polyglot but charity must begin at home!


I have said it before and I say it again, Urhobo and other Niger Delta ethnic groups, with the exception of Anioma and, perhaps, Ikwerre and other groups in Rivers State, have NOTHING to do with Igbos except for proximity.

Stick to the topic ma'am. No unnecessary deviations.

Now that the Igbide question has been answered, rather than move on, you decided to start another argument.

What exactly is wrong with you people?

It seems they're frying biscuits on your head. I'm the last person you'd want to engage on tribal issues, trust me. If you are looking for your kinsmen in Delta state while in Enugu, I'd suggest you journey yourself down there to meet with them. The thread says Urhobo, yet you and your ilks would self-service and die just because you're all out looking for your lost relatives over your senseless struggle.

Just look at the way they derailed this thread.. all in the name of annexing minority... I don't just get it...

Stop talking trash! Your resentment for Igbos is paranoia driven.

That's why you were quick to act like there are no Igbos in Niger Delta when you made the below statement.

"I often encounter individuals of the two Nigerian largest tribes who believe all Niger Deltans are Igbos. They don't even recognise that most of these tribes have NOTHING to do with Igbo".

Closely look at the boldened because I know English is your problem here. How does the boldened connote that no Niger Delta group has nothing to do with Igbo?

thats what am saying that soon urhobo will become non existent because as oghenekaro is leaving another will leave and may be you will leave as well...you can come to igbo capital cities and judge for yourself as per whether igbo is spoken well or not

Your feverish logic and excitement at annexation is worthy of psychological fascination.

The irony of this is that we would rather be slaves to Yorubas than be freemen to Igbos. Sink that into your skull.

As Yoruba slaves, we would be treated far better than you Igbos treat yourselves.

Couldn't you have made you article without roping Ndiigbo into it? Why is it hard for you people to atleast for the sake of your sanity hide your Igbo paranoia/ hate?

As long you can't make your articles without finding ways to rope Igbos into it and project us in bad light, be sure to have your thread pounced on and all necessary mis information contained there in corrected harshly with no care for your fragile feelings. Hatred will always begot hatred.

This is no 60's where a generation of Igbo knew not the importance of putting envious groups to sword and debunk any of their mis information to the public about Igbo.

Anyone that would want to put Ndiigbo in his silly write up in this generation must be putting it to praise the Igbo or encourage/ identity us. Anything else will attract
harsh rebuttals simply aimed at debunking mis representations of Ndiigbo. cool

Keep charging on like a sexually starved ram. Urhobos are not your enemies. When you see your real enemies you can't even utter "pem"! You'll just run to Nnamdi Kanu and beg him to quickly declare Biafra for you.

There is no pampering this people. Even if you kill yourself for them.

Those who love you will always love you.

How many times do you see these hatred towards the Igbo that emanate from Urhobo/Isoko/Ijaws towards the Igbo from the group's in Akwa Ibom and Cross River?
The answer is rarely.

The hate is ingrained in them. Trying to change it is waste of time better spent at planning on how to nullify their hatred and making sure they get consumed by it without harming you. cool

Helps are a tricky thing. We have spoken about the kids spending time with both grandparents but let us see. They after all, didn't teach their kids their language.

I'd love to see children's books in English, Ika, Itsekiri and Urhobo or Okpe. Dual. They have them for English and Spanish ans English and Yoruba and Igbo.

where Do you reside in Delta ?.. I might recommend some books for you .. What school re your ward attending ?.. Most schools in warri teach Urhobo as one of there subject.. The earlier the better..

Oniovo kobiruo. I just can't stand and watch when they start uttering things they can't even say to an Urhobo man face-to-face all because they have access to an internet connection.

How will they feel if we they say originated from Hausaland? They don't even put themselves in the shoes of others. They think only of themselves and think everything is a joke. I know for a fact that these guys are just having fun and they like to rope others in their controversy to bring you to their level.

However, I know the whole world is seeing this and posterity will see this. When it is time for the great decision to be made, posterity will be the judge. As for me, I'll feed them small starch and banga soup, in their own quality and consistency.

Please quote exactly where I said that... Like I said, English is your problem here. Take a dictionary and check the meaning of dislike and mistrust and tell me if they have the same semantic equivalence to hate.


In any case, whether hate or not, we are not your enemies. You yourselves know your enemies. Go and face them squarely. Don't demonstrate your local championship on a defenceless minority.

He will not be allowed to be the one to tell us about our histories with groups in present SS. If he can't stick to talking about his Urhobo group only, but would rather rope Ndiigbo into his articles, including using terms like "Niger Delta" that has Igbo groups in it.

Then he should always expect harsh but fact filled rebuttals from Ndiigbo.

You are silly? Which Oyo do you speak of? The one that begged to be colonised by the British or the Bini that was dismantled by the British in less than two weeks.

You are very silly. Fair skin amongst both western and Eastern Igbos were things the first white man that set foot on Igboland noticed. It's a natural attribute that we don't give much to, but I see is consuming you.

I state it as it is. Whether you like it or not. With Cross Rivers no longer an oil producing state, the only thing that Unites the entire SS region, is shared culture with their Igbo neighbours.
That does not in anyway mean that we want groups like Urhobo,Bini, Itsekiri Isoko with all their bitterness in a future Igbo country.

Pls prove that point ooo. Per the bolded
