agboghai: But Babangida is no longer in power after he had stepped aside since 1993. If IBB is the reason why Asaba is the capital of Delta State, why haven't Delta politicians of influence (or affluence) particularly of Urhobo extraction done the necessary to move the capital city to wherever they wish, an Urohbo town for example? 9 Likes |

chijiblaze:A very good morning to you my brother. It would be difficult for the capital to be moved to an Urohbo town now for two major reasons. 1. It would generate a serious crisis in the state. Politically, Socially and Economically, this would not be the best for the state. 2. Most importantly, the creation of the state and its capital was from a military decree. It would require another for it to be moved, and such is not the problem of the state to be clamoring for now. 1 Like |

horsepower101:Anịọma was depopulated sort of during the flu years 1919-1921, shortly after coming out from defeat in the ekumeku war(1883-1914)...so it is necessary that Igbos from the densely populated SE move in to boost their population and strengthen the anịọma identity. 3 Likes 1 Share |

chijiblaze: The Urhobo LGAs are more populated on average though. This is a run down of the last Nigerian census statistics by percentages: Combined Predominant Urhobo LGAs: 38.2% Anioma: 31.5% Isoko: 9.2% It's important to know that this data includes non-indigenes of those regions as well. I also didn't include the Urhobo population of Warri South and other LGAs in the state. At least 40% of Delta state should be Urhobo which if combined with Isoko, the combined Urhobo-Isoko percentage should be close to half of the state's population. |

Iriruaga100: Are you sure Urhobos are the majority in Warri south? I thought they have only 3 wards in Warri south LGA? Which are Okere-Urhobo, Agbassa & Edjeba? Itsekiris should be the majority in Warri south from what I see. Both Warri south-west and Warri north have Itsekiri & Ijaw communities side by side, but I think Itsekiris are the majority in both with like 65% of the population. |

fratermathy: Yes Urhobos are the majority in Delta state followed by Anioma. Infact, I think Urhobos & Isokos combined are like 50% of Delta state indigenously or slightly more. But I think if you use based on citizenship (indigenes + settlers) in Delta state, Igbo would be quite much due to the large number of South-eastern Igbos added to Aniomas. My main question for you is on Warri south please. Apparently Warri south (the main Warri) is dominated by Itsekiris. I thought Urhobos were only found in Okere-Urhobo, Edjeba & Agbassa in Warri south, so how could they be the majority? 3 Likes |

Nowenuse: Warri South has two very large Urhobo kingdoms and a high population of Urhobos. Itsekiris do not dominate Warri. That's not true. They have their areas though but I doubt if they have the same population as the Urhobos there. The domination may be political and that is understandable as they have just three local government areas to contend with and of the three, one is arguably dominated by the Ijaws. The most densely populated areas in Warri are peopled by the Urhobos. 1 Like |

Efewestern:When did Urhobo became the major ethnic group in Delta State. Anioma is a major factor in everything in Delta State...It's just that both the Urhobos,the Itsekiris,the Isokos and the Ijaws, always gang-up against the people of Anioma,in everything in Delta State. |

I read through this thread and I was so pissed! Firstly, why are people adding Isoko LGAs to the urhobo population? It is a very silly thing to do. The isokos are a completely different ethnic group. Fine, urhobo and Isoko share a lot of similarities in dressing, culture and language structure but they are different! Why don't people add Esan's 5 LGAs to Bini's LGAs when counting as well? 1 Like |

DonJossydirich: No pls Urhobos are the majority in Delta state. I am originally from the middlebelt but I was born and bred in Delta state. Aniomas are the 2nd largest. It is not a matter of gang up. Delta state uses a senatorial rotation system for governorship. So, nothing like conspiracies among tribes. |
Re: Who Are The Majority In Delta State, Urhobo, Itsekiri Or Igbos? by Nowenuse: 8:08pm On Aug 17, 2019 |
sexiestharam: The difference between Urhobos & Isokos is very similar to the difference between Ikas, Ukwuanis & Enuanis, yet the latter 3 are mostly grouped together under one umbrella during classifications. And FYI, Esans, Binis, Etsakos, Owans & Akoko edos are sometimes all classified together as the Edo nation and regarded as one people. In Edo state, they are differentiated because there is no other large non-Edoid ethnic groups present. This is unlike Delta state where there are Edoids (Urhobos & Isokos), Igboids (Aniomas), Yoruboids (Itsekiris) and Ijaws with completely different origins and unrelated languages and cultures. 1 Like |

This is the reason why I openly mock Anioma people....they dont know the Anioma tag by their fellow Deltans is a strategy used to put a wedge between them and their eastern brothers....lol The moment the Anioma start playing the Igbo card the intimidating Igbo population in Delta will back them and Uhrobo becomes history...lol Ndi Anioma are ffoolls 1 Like |

There is no ethnic group called Anioma in the federal government of Nigeria gazette. Anioma is a collective term of the Igbo’s in Delta State. Igbo is the largest ethnic group in Delta The capital of Delta is an Igbo City (Asaba) The gov of Delta is an Igbo man of the Ika Sub Group (Ifeanyi Okowa) Igbo (Anioma) has the highest local government in Delta State (9 LGAs) ______ If you’re pained by this achievement, go and drink sniper 5 Likes 1 Share |
