SS/SE are the samething and the same people, two sides of one coin, just that alot of the people are daft due to poor education.
Then your superior education should've let you know that there's technically--- and realistically--- nothing like "South-South".

People of the so called "Niger Delta" are the most confused set of people in Nigeria, but am not even in the mood for their shenanigans. I have only one thing to beg you people, it is enough that some of you chose to answer Igbo names while claiming non Igbo. Fine but if you want to answer those names answer it correctly not the adulterated forms in your bid to transform our names into another thing. Answer Nwogbo not Wobo( it even sounds like zobo). It's Ezenwa not Ezenwo. Answer Nwanne not Wene( don't know if it's short for Wednesday ). That's all I want to say., if you people cannot do this please answer names from your tribe ( If it exists ) or you can go and adulterate Yoruba names and answer(Take a cue from one minister from that region ).
It confuses you because you are not well read and do not even know the history of your own country. If you had an iota, you'd understand how the "South South" and "Niger Delta" regions came to be, and why they were created to further confuse Nigerians.

Will they pay to organize a referendum because it is such an expensive project? Why don't they use the money to build a second Niger bridge instead if they have access to such funds?

Paying for a referendum is no problem, agreeing to conduct a referendum is the main problem. Freedom is more important than second Niger Bridge

Igbos crossed the Confluence into Kogi, a Yorubaland.
Igbos crossed the Delta into the present day Delta State, Edo and Bayelsa States, all Yorubaland and territory.
It is like the Igbos are now jealous of the Monkey chit in the Affairs of Bello Bello Bello vs The Afonja in Ilorin, a Yorubaland. The Igbos now wish they had occupied Ilorin before Bello.
Actually, Bello crossed River Niger to invade Ilorin, a Yorubaland.
Yoruba land is from the Source of River Niger in the present Kebbi State down to Niger-Benue Confluence and further down to the Creek West.
The Igbos should limit themselves to the Source of River Benue to the Confluence and to the Creek East.

You don't know that wealth is generational?
If your Yoruba grandfather got rich by using some of the surplus money Igbos were forced to leave in the bank by Awolowo, he not only buys controlling shares of multinational companies like Standard bank, BEWAC, Guinness, etc., but he also built houses all over.

Now 50 years later, you're quietly collecting rent on those houses, and getting dividends every quarter, me, whose grandfather was actually better of than your grandfather before the war, but was only given only 20 pounds by Awolowo can't find employement or even buy any thing of values, because I'm still living in one of your grandfather's house as tenant.

Failure for the average Yoruba to even recognize this basic economic principle is another reason why Igbos will never trust you guys.

I keep hearing Biafra proponents of Igbo extraction claiming to be ''specially related'' to the Niger Delta people.

I then began to conduct research into the alleged genetic or filial 'brotherhood' between both regions.

So far, I've been unable to come up with any special features that make Igbos 'closer' to Efiks, Ogonis, and Ijaws, than to say, Binis or Yorubas. In fact, during the course of my research, I found numerous examples of linguistic similarities between Igbo and Yoruba, over and above any other ethnic groups in Nigeria. Igbos marry far more Yorubas than they marry south-southerners.

So please, on what basis do Igbos claim to be ''special brothers'' with the south-south?

To the point that they are almost forcing them to join their new country?

Insisting that they must join.

It's a real mystery to me, this love and comradeship Igbos have for the south-southerners, to the exclusion of every other ethnic group in the country.

A real case of Love Nwantiti.

Please, can somebody explain the mystery to me?
Our lack of progress in this country can be pinned to "researchers" like you. Lol... You couldn't see any connection between Igbos and Efiks. Lol

I wish my mum would read this and laugh at this "Researcher". Have you heard about the "Efik/ibibio influenced Igbos"?
Go to areas like Aro, Bende and Ohafia parts of Abia state and declare this statement.
Read about their history and culture and if you find nothing still, then I will know how to handle you.
You can check my history, I don't suffer fools hardly.
I know your intentions are mischievous but I will give you a chance, "Mr. Researcher from Afhonganistan".

Igbos have intermixed with millions of people across Nigeria. We don't need oral tradition to see that. What makes the south south different, Madam Love Nwantiti?




You ''think''? Sorry, I prefer facts.




Until you conduct DNA tests, you are in no position to state that.

Excerpts:

"I was first given the idea that Yoruba and Igbo must be genetically related when a childhood friend, Ogbonna told me that words for some well known body parts are virtually the same in both languages. For instance, Yoruba Imu/ Igbo, imi which means nose. There is also Yoruba eti/Igbo nti which means ear. Also Yoruba enu/Igbo onu which stands for mouth. Other examples abound like Yoruba orun/Igbo onu meaning neck. And so on and so forth.

Much later in life, at the university, I was to learn in Language class that Igbo and Yoruba and many other African languages are members of the same language family. Those are members of group languages which all developed out of a common ancestor or a parent. And in the very distant past, these languages were no more than mere dialects of the original language"

You have listened to sheer propaganda for so long that it has started affecting your level of reasoning.
1) The €20 was for the Biafrans to start afresh, a very rare privilege and not a right as you wrongly assume

2) The indigenization policy, much like the present local content policy is NOT a case of 'buying and selling' of foreign firms.
It was a policy aimed at forcing the foreign firms to open up the ownership structures of the companies to Nigerians, especially by listing them on the stock exchange.

3) Those who were disadvantaged in the purchase of shares of the newly listed foreign firms in 1975 can still purchase the shares in 1985 or 2017 just in the same way Nigerians who couldn't build houses in 1980 when a bag of cement was being sold for #2 are building houses now ,even when the same bag of cement now is being sold for #1500.

4) Stop listening to propaganda

[s]We should all remember that South South, South East and Niger Delta are just mere geographical expressions. In actual fact, they do not represent anyone.

What represents people are their ethnic names.

Now definitely, when two ethnic groups share borders fir hundreds of years, there is no way both would not have interacted in all that time.

A Yoruba or Hausa man cannot claim to know Efik, Ibibio, Ogoja, legbo,Isoko, Ananng more than Igbos. Igbos have land borders with all of them.

If Igbos decide that they want to leave the Nigerian union and begin a new country, it is only fair that Igbos inform its neigbours of what is coming and there is no harm in suggesting that they all move out together especially since but Igbos and the minority ethnic groups have the common complaint that they are marginalised in Nigeria

If there is any ethinc group that feels more comfortable in Nigeria, they should voice their opinion but it should be mainly the will of the people, not a few priviledged.

Igbos do not take people by force, it is not in their culture. Even Ojukwu asked for a mandate before declaring the Eastern Region as Biafra.

Since the end of the war, it has been the minorities themselves who have taken up arms against Nigeria more than Igbos. This shows they are not happy with Nigeria.

1. There is no such thing as "south south". Just another Nigerian idiocy.

2. The people of the Niger Delta are more connected historically and culturally with the Igbo than anyone else. For e.g. The Aro migrated from what is Cross Rivers State today. The Ibibio, Anang, Efik, etc have close historic and cultural links with the Abiriba, Bende, etc. In fact, many of those folks are closer to the Ibibio, etc in dialect than they are to say someone from Enugu. Igbo migration and inter-marriage with the Kalabari, Ogoni and Ijaw has been going on for centuries. Someone like Goodluck Jonathan's grandfather came from Arochukwu and settled in Otuoke. Do you know that Jaja of Opobo was Jubo Jubeoha from Amaigbo?

3. For many years the Ijaws were classified by the British as Igbos. The Ijaw identity is a recent phenomenon. It's hard to tell who is an Igbo or who isn't in Rivers State - many speak Igbo, many have Igbo names, many have Igbo customs, many choose not to identify with Igbo for political reasons.

4. Anyone that thinks people within a few miles radius of each other are not culturally and historically linked is ignorant of Nigerian history and history in general.

Who made you the Judge to determine what is correct and what's not correct and against which standard?

Land (English) = Lande (German)
Oritsefemi (Itsekiri)= Orisafemi (Yoruba)
Orisha/Osaa (Yoruba)= Olise (Ika)= Orisa/Ossa (Edo) = DEITY/ God

That's why
Osakwe = Orisakwe
Olisadebe = Osadebey and

Oliseh ( Ika)= Olisa( Igbo)...none is superior to the other, just normal variant.


Omawumi( Itsekiri)= Omowumi (Yoruba)
Oritsejafor (Itsekiri)= Orisajenfo (Yoruba)
Eyituoyo (Itsekiri)= Eyitayo (Yoruba)

Ewu (Igbo)= Ewure (Yoruba)
Akpati(Igbo)= Apoti (Yoruba)
Okwuta (Igbo)= okuta (Yoruba)
Onu (Igbo)= Enu (Yoruba)
Umu (Igbo)= Rumu (Ikwerre) = Omo (Bini)= Omo(Yoruba)= Oma (Igala).

1) Sir, which of these languages is an adulterated form of the other?

2) Some igalas can understand some Yoruba dialects by 50% and
Itsekiri is partly mutually intelligible with some Yoruba dialects ,yet you won't hear Yoruba accusing the Itsekiris of Language theft as some igbos like to accuse Ikwerres.

#Lesson-1: Almost all the tribes in Southern Nigeria and middle belt are related than many (especially tribalists) know or willing to acknowledge.

#Lesson-2: These relationship may mean we are 'siblings', not necessarily 'Parents-and- children'

Your assertion that Igbo language has always remain what has always been show you don't understand linguistics at all because no language remain static and all languages emerge from previously existing languages.
The Yoruba Bible was written in Yoruba language that was spoken about 200 years ago but today, many Yoruba can't even read it.
You will require special dictionary to read original Shakespeare ,written in medieval English ,spoken about 500 years ago and they are many words we speak now that are absent in that variant of the language.
In summary, all languages evolve and continue to evolve






derealj:



Thrash talk. Amaechi and Tonto Dikeh that answers theirs correctly nkor? They know what they are doing and is in no way connected to what u are saying. And FYI Igbo has always been Igbo and didn't descend from any language. Also Louis is and will always be of French origin and never English. Go figure.

oyatz:


Who made you the Judge to determine what is correct and what's not correct and against which standard?

Land (English) = Lande (German)
Oritsefemi (Itsekiri)= Orisafemi (Yoruba)
Orisha/Osaa (Yoruba)= Olise (Ika)= Orisa/Ossa (Edo) = DEITY/ God

That's why
Osakwe = Orisakwe
Olisadebe = Osadebey and

Oliseh ( Ika)= Olisa( Igbo)...none is superior to the other, just normal variant.


Omawumi( Itsekiri)= Omowumi (Yoruba)
Oritsejafor (Itsekiri)= Orisajenfo (Yoruba)
Eyituoyo (Itsekiri)= Eyitayo (Yoruba)

Ewu (Igbo)= Ewure (Yoruba)
Akpati(Igbo)= Apoti (Yoruba)
Okwuta (Igbo)= okuta (Yoruba)
Onu (Igbo)= Enu (Yoruba)
Umu (Igbo)= Rumu (Ikwerre) = Omo (Bini)= Omo(Yoruba)= Oma (Igala).

1) Sir, which of these languages is an adulterated form of the other?

2) Some igalas can understand some Yoruba dialects by 50% and
Itsekiri is partly mutually intelligible with some Yoruba dialects ,yet you won't hear Yoruba accusing the Itsekiris of Language theft as some igbos like to accuse Ikwerres.

#Lesson-1: Almost all the tribes in Southern Nigeria and middle belt are related than many (especially tribalists) know or willing to acknowledge.

#Lesson-2: These relationship may mean we are 'siblings', not necessarily 'Parents-and- children'
