Are the Urohbos really the largest tribe in Delta state and the 5th largest in Nigeria? I could be wrong but I thought we have more Ibibios than Urohbos? Even in Deta state, Are there more Urohbos than Delta-Igbo's?

THIS statement is fallacious. Urhobos are in NO WAY related to Igbos in anything. The Ijaws are even more distant. Please correct that impression. In DELTA state, there are no 'true' Igbos. What we have is Anioma and they share common cultural ties with the South Eastern Across the Niger Igbos just as Urhobos do with Edos.

What do you mean there are no 'true Igbos' in Delta state? Are you trying to say that an Asaba man isn't a true Igbo man?

[quote author=darlenese post=30539323][/quote]You dey mind them? The Urhobos are the originators of DEV (DEVE) popularly called developmet that has spread all over the country. Their youths as well as the earlderly are highly indesciple and lazy. The Urhobo youths can beat up a senior man/woman of their grand parents age. Very desrespectiful people.They do not like working. They move about through all the corners of the towns abi cities in Delta, especially in Warri, looking for any person who is developing any landed property and within the shortest time, they can injure and even kill if you question them as to why you will pay them money for erecting a personal building etc. while the Ijaws are busy orgnising evil in the riverine. BTW, from which state did kidnapping and sea pirates started from? This has made Warri highly backward.They are the most cunny class of people in the Nigeria. They are the only people you can never trust. They organise many robbery cases in Delta state. There is no way you can plan with an Urhobo man and get a true result as agreed. They are worst than the tortose. Very crookish and highly unrealiable class of people.
The first robbery cases in Nigeria were recorded in Urhobo land. You have individual like Chief Omoko, you have Mosheshe who dealt with the first europeans, who visited Nigeria on trade missions. You also have have Edewor and many others who are very wealthy who formed partnership with the whites in trade mission and organise against them and drive them back home land and take over all the investments. Small boys, what do you of the Urhobos? All these are true stories because I worked there for many years before I left
If talk again, I will hit at you times five of the above

If you are intelligent enough you will know this is true for all people round the world, U got the good the bad and the Ugly just cos you lived around Lazy group of Urhobo Men makes you think you can generalize them and paint them with same brush?,If I live amongst people of Ijebu and was naive I could simply say good % of Yoruba men are tight fist and uneducated but I'm far too exposed to breed such thought.

Nope. Its well known issue. Every tribe with their perculiar beliefs and ways of doing things. But like i said earlier, the different ones are few. No need for argument. Thats entirely your view. You stick to yours and i stick to mine. I still stand by my observations. Thank God they are observations and not mere speculations. No need to burst a vein over it.

Good day my people

I lived in Warri for years around post office off okere

Now the question I bask and ask is who really own Warri

Is it urhobo or itshekiri
. I am thinking its itshekiri because of Olu thing
But urhobo is spoken more

So who owns that town

Una dooo

I shared hostel with them once they all hated and bullied me. If I cook they will complain if I don't they will say shiior Yoruba don't have food like them.
Everything I did was imperfect to them
I really don't fancy their girls from my own experience . Jealousy ti fo ori won. Looking back they were jealous and highly criticise others. Hardcore Racist
Only thing I admire about them is their energy and enthusiasm . I love omawumi too is she urohbo
