Culture / Re: 30 Interesting Facts About Some Nigerian Minority Ethnic Groups by TheUmbra: 12:15pm On Jun 21, 2017
You're without shame, cursed with the same myopia I've seen afflicting many of your tribes men.

Buffoon! Arrogant quack! You're defining what is what and who is who in another man's ancestral lineage and affinity. While lumping urhobos and Isoko as one you tore the Anoimas into tiny groups. Bloody wizard! Idiocentric bastàrd! Anioma is one! We're the largest ethnicity in Delta State with the most LGAs.

Idiot! Come and teach me my history.

Oh, Urhobo is fifth largest ethnic group in Nigeria just as Cameroon is the biggest country in Africa.
Orué! Ekpa! Mumu!


fratermathy:
Nigeria is a multi-ethnic nation with diverse ethnicities. Many foreigners, and even Nigerians belonging to majority ethnic groups, have little to no knowledge of the various minority ethnic groups that proliferate the nation. What comes to mind when they think of Nigeria is that there are only the Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa ethnicities. This view is sustained because the Nigerian constitution recognises only those three ethnic groups as the major ethnic groups in Nigeria. Every other ethnic group is treated as a minority ethnic group.

The concept of a minority ethnic group is quite faulty in the Nigerian context. Some ethnicities that are deemed to be minorities have well over 2 million people (a minority ethnic group in the real sense should have a population of 1 million or less). However, within the Nigerian context, if you are not Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa, you are a minority. The big three (WaZoBia) have always been at the centre of Nigerian politics and history. Only a few enlightened persons know much about Nigeria's other 250+ ethnic groups. Even those who know them have various misconceptions about the ethnicities. The situation is so bad that many Yorubas, Hausas, Igbos and even those from minority groups, assume that the minorities in the South are all Igboid or Igbo sub-groups, while those in the North are all Hausas or Hausa sub-groups.

This thread will attempt to state some facts about Nigeria's minority groups as a means of educating Nigerians and non-Nigerians alike. My focus will be on the minority groups in the South-South geo-political region and parts of the middle-belt region of Nigeria (both regions were created exclusively for minorities). There are also many minorities in Nigeria's North but they deserve another thread entirely.


1. The Urhobo ethnic group occupy Delta Central/South senatorial districts and is the most dominant ethnic group in Delta State. They share the same culture and worldview with the Isoko of Delta State (both are regarded as one group by many persons).

2. Ijaw is regarded by many as the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria with Urhobo coming as 5th (contested claims). Efik-Ibibio also claims to the be the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria. The Tiv are also regarded by some as the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria. No proper and current census has been done to validate the many population claims.

3. Itsekiri is a Yoruboid ethnic group whose ancestors were migrant fishermen of Ijebu, Ikale and Ilaje sub-groups of the Yorubas. However, their monarchy is of Bini descent and this created a hybrid culture with elements from Yoruba, Bini and their neighbours, Urhobo and Ijaw.

4. The first person to get a university degree in Nigeria was an Itsekiri king. His name was Dom Domingos (Atuwatse I). He graduated from Coimbra University, Portugal, in 1611. He also married a Portuguese woman. The Itsekiris are among the first group to make contact with the western world and due to their hospitality and warmness, that early contact favoured them quite well.

5. There are more than 20 ethnic groups in Cross River Central and North that are not related to Efik. Many of these ethnic groups speak languages that are regarded as Bantoid (from Bantu). Some of them are Ejagham (Ekoid), Boki, Bekwarra, Bette-Bendi, Ikom, Leggbo, etc.

6. The ethnic groups in Cross River South and Akwa Ibom form a cluster known as the Akwa-Cross cluster. All of the languages in the cluster are related and mutually intelligible to speakers. However, they are all regarded as separate ethnicities. Efik is spoken in Cross River South (Calabar and environs), Ibibio is the largest ethnicity in this cluster and it is spoken in Akwa Ibom (Uyo and environs), Anaang is spoken in Ikot Ekpene and environs, Oron (Oro) is spoken in Oron town and environs, while Ekid (Eket) is spoken in Eket, Esit Eket and environs.

7. The Andoni ethnic group of Rivers and Akwa Ibom is related to both the Ijaw and the Ibeno (Ibibioid) ethnic groups. Andoni people occupy the coastal areas of Rivers (Andoni LGA) and Akwa Ibom States (Eastern Obolo LGA).

8. The Isoko ethnicity of Delta State used to be regarded as Eastern Urhobo until 1958 when James Otobo moved a motion for a separate Isoko province. This marked the beginning of a separate Isoko political identity. Isokos share the same culture and worldviews with Urhobos but they speak a different dialect that many Urhobos cannot understand.

9. The Ogoni ethnic group of Rivers State occupy 4 LGAs (Tai, Eleme, Khana and Gokana). They all speak different dialects of Ogoni language. Eleme in particular claims to be a different ethnicity from the Ogoni.

10. The Idoma people of Benue State trace their history to the Kwararafa confederation of the Junkun, in modern day Taraba State. They have historical and cultural ties with the Igala.

11. The Baruba people of Kwara State are split into Nigeria and Benin Republic. They are a very reserved people and have strong Islamic values.

12. The Gbagyi people are the most populated ethnicity indigenous to Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital. They also occupy Kaduna, Kogi, Nasarrawa and Niger States. They are called Gwari by the Hausa-Fulani people. Nigeria's former military ruler, Gen. Babangida is a Gbagyi man.

13. The Nupe people occupy Kwara and Niger States. They are predominantly Muslims and have an emirate known as Bida Emirate. Nupe people are reserved, agrarian and peaceful.

14. Islam was introduced to the Etsako people (Auchi and environs) of Edo State by the Nupe people.

15. Epie-Atissa (Yenagoa) people, Engenni (Rivers), Degema (Rivers), Urhobo-Isoko (Delta), Esan, Bini, Etsako, Afenmai, and others in Edo State are all Edoid groups. Their ancestry can be traced to Benin and they speak loosely related and mutually unintelligible languages. They are all regarded as different ethnicities, with the exception of Epie-Atissa which has joined the Ijaw confederation.

16. The Anioma people of Delta State (Delta North- Asaba and environs) speak related Igboid languages. Anioma is an acronym for Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika, and Oshimili (subgroups comprising what is regarded as Delta Igbo). However, these groups are constitutionally acknowledged as different ethnicities and they speak different dialects, apart from the Enuani (Aniocha and Oshimili) who speak a dialect of Igbo very close to Onitsha dialect.

17. Ikwerre, Ekpeye and Ogba (Akalaka brothers) speak loosely related Igboid languages. They trace their history to Benin like the Edoid groups. Ikwerre is the dominant ethnic group in Rivers State.

18. There is no language known as "Ijaw" language. Ijaw is an ethnic marker for the confederation of ethnicities that chose to identify as Ijaw. The main language many of the core Ijaw people speak is called Izon, with Kolukoma-Opukuma regarded as the standard written dialect. Other languages spoken by the Ijaws include Nembe, Ogbia (a Cross River Language), Epie-Atissa (Edoid language), Kalabari, Okrika, Nkoroo, Defaka, etc. Nigeria's former president, Goodluck Jonathan, speaks Ogbia, while his wife, Patience Jonathan, speaks Okrika.

19. The standard variety of Urhobo is Agbarho dialect while that of Isoko is Uzere dialect. Other dialects in the Urhobo-Isoko cluster include Uvwie, Okpe, and Erhowa.

20. Itsekiri has no dialects. The language is the same in all Itsekiri locales. It is one of the few languages in Nigeria with this feature.

21. The Tiv (Benue), Junkun (Taraba), and Kuteb (Taraba) people were once together in a federation known as the Wukari Federation. The fall of this Federation marked the outwards migration of the constituent groups, especially the Tiv.

22. The Ebira people of Kogi State trace their history to the Kwararafa Federation, the Junkun successor to the Wukari Federation. They are predominantly Muslims. They occupy Okene and its environs.

23. The Igala people of Kogi State have historical and cultural ties with the Igbo people but they speak a Yoruboid language. A few scholars claim that the Igalas migrated from Umueri. Other scholars claim that Igalas are a hybrid of Idoma and Yoruba.

24. There are over twenty ethnic groups in Plateau State. Many of them have shared beliefs, religion and world view. Among them are the Berom (Jos and environs), Tarok, Afizere, Kofyar, Jarawa, among others. They speak loosely related languages and many use Hausa for inter-ethnic communication. Christianity is the dominant religion among the minorities in Plateau State.

25. There are over twenty ethnic groups in Kaduna State. Many of them have a largely Christian heritage and are dominant in Southern Kaduna. Among them are Gbagyi, Gwong, Atuku, Bajju, Atyab, Gure and Ninkyop. Many of the Southern Kaduna people can speak and understand Hausa.

26. The Olukumi people of Delta State are Yoruboid and they are surrounded on all sides by the Delta Igbos (Aniochas). Most of them are coordinate speakers of Igbo and Olukumi (a Yoruboid language). They are the micro-minorities of Delta State and their language is faced with extinction.

27. There is no ethnic group known as "Edo". Edo is a word that describes a variety of ethnic groups with a common origin although many use it to refer to the Bini people. Edo is actually the name of a slave which an Oba appropriated to his empire after the slave saved his life. The ethnic groups that are described as Edoid have only little in common. Their languages are not mutually intelligible and their cultural beliefs are quite distinct. The ethnic group occupying Benin City is the Bini people.

28. The Ikas and Ukwuanis of Delta State trace their origin to modern day Edo. According to their myths, their ancestors were migrants from Benin. However, they speak Igboid languages, not Edoid languages.

29. Some minority languages are taught at the primary, secondary and university levels in Nigeria. The languages that are taught at the university level include: Urhobo (Delta State University, Abraka), Izon (Niger Delta University, Amassoma and University of Port Harcourt, Choba), Ikwerre (University of Port Harcourt, Choba), Bini (University of Benin), and Efik-Ibibio (University of Calabar and University of Uyo). Many others are taught at the College of Education level.

30. All of Nigeria's commercial crude deposits are within the territories of minority ethnic groups in the South-South region of Nigeria. The highest producers of the nation's crude include the Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo-Isoko, Eket, Oron, Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Ogba and Ukwuani. Small quantities of crude oil can also found in Ondo (Yoruba), Abia (Ukwa East & West -Igbo) and Imo (Egbema & Oguta). Lagos State (Yoruba) has recently joined the league of oil producing states in Nigeria and oil has been discovered in the Lake Chad Basin (Kanuri) of North Eastern Nigeria.

Bonus: Apart from crude oil, Nigeria's minorities are blessed with intellectuals (Urhobo, for instance, is said to have one of the highest concentration of Professors, Medical Doctors and Lawyers in Nigeria), mineral resources (Urhobo also has the highest gas deposits in Nigeria, gold is present in Plateau State), rich culture (the Ijaws and Itsekiris have various boat regattas and amazing festivals), historical monarchies (the Bini monarchy, the Itsekiri monarchy, the Calabar (Efik) monarchy, the Igala monarchy, the Nupe monarchy, the Jos monarchy, etc), tourist attractions (Calabar Carnival, Port Harcourt Book Festival, Ox-Bow Lake in Bayelsa, Oba of Benin's Palace, Confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue at Lokoja, etc) and many other natural and human resources.



These are only some of the interesting facts about Nigeria's various minority ethnic groups. Do you know of other interesting facts? Kindly comment and keep the thread moving. You may also comment if you spot any error(s) or misconception(s).

Guy no vex o! Below are samples of your recent posts. I'll use them as psychoanalysis to unearth your psychological makeup. Shall we?

kuchikau1:

so, u speak french? U are d 2nd female sensible, intelligent and brain matured nairalander have followed. 1st of course is sexybbstar.

You directed the above quote to a shinarlaura. From your post you did the "following". Were you so needy, lacking in self esteem or you're just lame on the love game? Well, let's study further. And was that English you typed up there or Afrikaans?

kuchikau1:

have u no shame? Have u no dignity? Spits

Your directed the above remark at Mzlarem: There your frustration was registered for the first time in this study. But what could be the cause? Let's continue digging.

kuchikau1:

independent woman. I cherish ur lifestyle. GOD BLESS UR MAN.

Directed at sexybbstar. You have openly showed your romantic interest towards her but you're too clumsy and bereft of finesse to woo her. Rather you friendzone yourself by acknowledging she has a man. "GOD BLESS YOUR MAN" was that supposed to be a pickup line? You simply want to be THAT MAN but there you are with the most lousy and circumventive approach. Shame on you!

kuchikau1:

lady, for now, u are d only lady that deserve my respect here in nairaland. A unique lady.

Directed towards the same sexybbstar. The girl you couldn't man up and express your feelings for directly. Instead of you to approach lezz to give you some of his irresistible lines, you chose to hate him because he prospered where you failed miserably.
Just look at your cheap, butt-licking, uninspiring line. What girl is going to fall for a clumsy, lily-livered toaster like you.

kuchikau1:

i can swear dat these gals don have a meaniful lives outside here.

And they're the reason you spend all day in Romance section. While they rejected you because you're clumsy in the game, you call them names.


kuchikau1:

market woman, kontinu!

Frustration takes another toll on you as the chances to find yourself a mate dwindle.

kuchikau1:

uery useless set of girls. Spits

Gradually, you're turning into a psychopath as frustration and congi take over you.



kuchikau1:

sis, if i abscond during service, will i repeat d entire service year with pay. Or will i complete only those months 4 wich i was absent. Pls i need ur honest reply

Your social status was laid bare here; you're obviously still learning the ropes of life and you had the guts to talk about lezz. Mr spit, you should spit on yourself. You should fix your life first especially on financial matters before expressing your premature desire for women. Little wonder you're looking for a financially independent woman. Shameless man!

kuchikau1:

wow! my kind of gal. But true love doesnt discriminate

Here you go again. No self respect. Lousy fellow with lousy pickup lines. Even women two centuries ago would have found you boring.

kuchikau1:

wow! my kind of gal.

There! Male love-vendor.

Conclusion: instead of hating on the likes of lezz who have everything you ever dreamed of, approach them humbly and they may provide you with solutions that would remedy your boring, uninspiring life.

Romance / Re: Man and Woman are different.. Nothing like Gender Equality by TheUmbra: 12:59am On Jun 20, 2017
Melonny:
As you have said, let's appreciate our gender. I would like to point out what really GENDER EQUALITY is, Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued and favoured (genderequality.ie)
So, it doesn't mean men and women become the same, we should have access to same opportunities.


No one will deny you your right to education and the opportunity to succeed but maybe men will start taking you women seriously on gender equality thing when you start dominating fields like the army, fighting terror in the thick of sambisa forest, dominate the police force, heeding a distress call in the middle of the night with your bullet proof vest on because you're sure some daredevil criminals are Ak47-armed and are waiting to ambush you; dominating the fire service where you brave yourself up with your fake brazilian wig and embrace a burning building, or the construction industry that requires heavy manual lifting of tools and equipment.

But you all never complain when the female numbers are next to non-existent in these fields, but you raise dust on executive positions and start screaming your gender equality trash.

Fact is you all are greedy vultures trying to reap where you didn't sow.

Even the boundary in your village was carved out by the blood of your forefathers. The identity you have was sustained and preserved by fearless men of old who hid your great grandmothers in a safe cave while they charged to war to preserve their seeds. And you're here hiding in your little hut typing gender equality.

No need to be sanctimonious.
If you seriously think what will bring honor to your marriage is for your wife/husband to be addressed as Mrs/Mr Somebody , then you are probably living in your own delusions.
Its alright though, because i believe thats probably a coping mechanism for some people like you.
You do remind me of the saying about an ostrich burying its head into the sand while its whole body is exposed. In its tiny brain, it actually feels its not in danger because it can't see the danger.
Calling someone Mr or Mrs Somebody has never stopped whoever wants to cheat from cheating. It doesn't even offer any protection against being toasted.
You're the one bringing materialism into this as I never mentioned anything about such.
People cheat for different reasons, spouses of rich men/women also cheat so its not about material gains.
Calling someone by their Mr/Mrs title means nothing, its just eye service in my opinion if you honestly think that would stop anyone from having affairs or being tempted to have affairs in the workplace.
Even some people called Daddy GOs have affairs with fellow Mummies. Of course while in public, they always call each other Mummy and Daddy in the World. Of course we know they use correct terms of endearment when they get frisky in the privacy of their booked rooms.

You spent precious minutes repeating yourself and reaffirming what I have stated here already.
I thought you had better points to put forward.

The statement below was from you:

"Who cares if you're married in the workplace? Just get your bl**dy work done effectively and don't draw the team back because of your incompetence or family life"

The marital status of any employee is important. It has a direct impact on his/her employer's expectations and demands towards such an individual. It also dictates what might be proper or improper in terms of conduct towards same.

You see why you're a principal corrosive agent to a healthy society? By that statement of yours you've put material gains above marital sanctity.

It's not about being sanctimonious, your little emotional blackmail is ineffective. You call truth by its name irrespective of the signs of the time -- by which you've been carried off to a fool's paradise.

To be honest with you, no one gives a rat's behind about your /other's marital status.
You tend to see men with no morals everywhere, who can't see a lady and not think of having an affair with her.
Are you one of such?
Who cares if you're married in the workplace? Just get your bl**dy work done effectively and don't draw the team back because of your incompetence or family life.
If you're address as Mr or Mrs Somebody in public, will that stop you from being toasted and even agreeing to an affair in private despite being married?
Better don't deceive yourself.
We have seen married employees, even employer-employees having affairs and still maintaining a proper formal relationship in public, no contact with each other sef at work. Yet, after work they roll together.
Addressing a married individual properly may not offer complete proof for marriage but it's a good start and a gesture that honours the marriage institution.

I think your moral elasticity has finally gave to the continuous barrage of a world fastly on decay. How convenient for you to put material gains over sound moral principles.

It speaks well of your priorities - material acquisition first even at the expense of the sanctity of matrimony.

Thank goodness you said formal way.

But amongst informal gatherings, your first name would be more than appropriate. There are other informal relationships other than the one with your family members.
Even at work, first names suffice. A lot also depends on what you would like to be called, even in formal settings.

Not everyone likes to be called Mr/Mrs X but they would tell you to just call them by their first names.

What kind of informal gathering? We're talking about a proper, dignified way of addressing a married individual and you're hitting on informal gathering.

In an informal gathering of like-gender of course a married individual can be addressed by his/her first name or nickname. But across gender it is wrong and very suggestive.

Now you watch movies, I believe. What makes you think when a man has some romantic intentions towards a woman but the woman is so polite as to address the man as Mr/Sir, the man always would insist on "please call me John", for example?

He's simply setting the first blocks that errects an improper or romantic relationship. For married individuals it is vital within his/her office environment or any other gathering he/she is addressed properly in a way that his/her marital status is duely acknowledged by the opposite sex.

It doesn't matter how permissive our world has become and how many people swap good values for inferior fad in the spirit of feeling "modern", there're still people who look at uncomfortable truth in the eye and call it by its true name.

I don't agree with the maiden name thing, at all!

So when a girl gets married, her old male friends can't refer to her by her maiden name again?? Doesn't make sense!

I would find it very awkward if my male friends start referring to me as sis, madam or whatever just because I got married....

Is it only ladies that cause the problems that destroy the marriage? Cos ur list doesn't refer to the guys too, Not only ladies do all those stuffs, men do them too.​


Even the Western culture you so love to imbibe has this culture as a normal standard. The formal way to address a married Woman and even a married man is to begin with Mrs and Mr except for family members.

Anything short of that is suggestive i.e in a sane clime without the contagion of a world that is fast losing its values.

u walk around with that face and u talk abt shame?

If u looked like u, i would be dead, killed myself years ago spits

You haven't yet seen me. But I've seen you;

A boy-Alinko-esque frame, with a long ungraceful neck and sickly eyes. And your hair texture was rather coarse, attesting to your lack of basic balance diet.

There's something worse than being dead and that's when a man has lost the gift of feeling ashamed.

Trying too hard to pass the sanity test. But what possessed you when you started faking yourself in a most self debasing manner?

It is better to be an honest broke dude jude than to be a fake rich fool.

You followed the UK elections? May has another chance. There goes the pretence at false civilities. Europe needs a Trump in a major European country.

Islamic extremists are walking into their borders like a barbecue event

Old news, man! I love Trump.

You talk like we belong in the same class.

Now tell me what can be worse than a man who projected himself under a false light to buy himself some digital fame and losing his dignity in the process?

It shouldn't! I've missed your poetic works for a while and coming across a fresh one played back some crazy memories.
