Thanks ! I am from the Asaba in the Midwest region. I left the Country in 1975 and have not gone back since then. I believe we are Igbo from what I was told. Good showing!
Asaba is Igbo indeed. Never mind the imaginary lines of political division that placed Igbos in the western side of the Niger River under a different region from those in the Eastern side of the river. The two sides are of the same heritage, language and culture, from Onitsha in Anambra down to Agbor in present day Delta state (old Midwest region)
@@infotant you igbos are your own problem , most state were not created through ethnic line ... Inside Anambra there are Igala people,inside Abia there are people who are not igbos
You did well, ASABA is a beautiful city to live in, anyway the truth is that the founder of ASABA is Nnebisi from Njete in Anambra state. Majority of ASABA, Ebu Igbo, Okoh, Okpanam, and Abor, down to Ibusa, ogwashi-uku are typically Igbo's, I mingle with them since I was a Boy, I school St Patrick college ASABA, which gave me the privilege to know most towns and villages within the capital Territory of Delta state, most of them from the Anioma region are Igbo's. Although some few from Ukwani/ kwale atimes Clam to be whatever, people from ila including one of the Royal family living in London always proud of his Igbo heritage. Haven't say that, all Anioma region are Igbo's. Ned Nwoko the Husband of Regina Daniel said in one of His interview with BBC igbo that it's a stupid thing for someone who speaks Igbo, bearing okeke or Okafor but tells you that he's not Igbo must be stupid and senseless.atimes some of them from Agbor/ Obi claims to be Ika-ibo. But that's their own problems. As long as most people within from the neighbouring ASABA township are proudly Igbo's is okay with me. But in other way, when they have problems like in Lagos with Yoruba's you will see that they're more Igbo's than you, because they'll speak igbo like heaven and claim boldly igbo woman or man. Same in the North. That's the little I can tell you brother me. But in all were not lacking behind right? So we from the Mainland Igbo we keep showing them love with open arms, atimes some of them feel inferior to claim Igbo, because some of us used to call them Delta people. Bless you and have a Blissful Sunday
Your logic is all twisted. Immediately after the civil war, the Aniomas were not regarded as real Igbos by the Easterners even with the knowledge of the Asaba masacre which occured as a result of the people's affinity with the rest of the Igbos.
Kwale are not Igbo but ancient BenIn empire people who lived there on the boundaries of Igbo land and started speaking Igbo over time whatever BS you said meant. I am from that area and my DNA shows I am Edo, Isan BenIn amongst others while Igbo sometimes matches with me via marriage the name of my family quarters is still an ancient BenIn name of our ancestors. Everyone who speak English today are not English. Are you European and English because you speak or communicate in their language, a lot of Igbo towns too from BenIn or were once part of BenIn with spare Beni. Princes from polygamous royals homes sent to found or rule them to this day. DNA tests back of certain Kwale peoples stories. Don’t look down on the history of peoples out of arrogance when you know nothing about their origin stories. My direct ancestors with me as the son on my direct ancestors in my past life bashed open the gates of BenIn empire as elite warriors and migrated in conflict leaving few peoples behind so we still have an ancestral family in BenIn city to this day who knew about us. We waged a gorilla war of independence against the most powerful army in West Africa just to survive and I had those memories of my past life until I was an adult with significant events. That is greater than your BS. I was there.
My brother applauds to your comment, hut let us make it clear to them that there is nothing like Delta igbo. I am a proud Igbo man from Ahaba which is now know as asaba. Delta state isn't upto 35 years of creation, so why would an igbo man that is from the region of today Delta state territory tell you he is an Delta IGBO man when the igbos have been in existence from the beginning of the world. Anyi bu' ndigbo, odi iye ga agbawe ya. Let not let the stupid Jaja weed govt to divide and rules. We were formerly know as the old eastern region, firstly the divide to South Eastern and South Western Nigeria. Today we now also have South South. Lets open our eyes and know it a divide and rule method there are trying to use on us. I feel so bitter when someone tells me he/she is from Delta ibo or some bullshits like that. NDIGBO KA ANYI BU. IGBO KWENU.
Is Delta not an oil rich state? Some part of Asaba looks like an abandoned project. Although it’s a potentially beautiful city. Another great video and narrative. 👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥
Firstly we are igbos and Stephen Keshi stadium Asaba is a place that has hosted grade A matches including the super eagles of Nigeria, alot of qualifiers has been play there.
After seeing asaba, I’m here to praise ebonyi state government for giving the state a befitting capital.. as rich as delta state , see the mediocre they r calling city.. omo, this is the worst state capital I have seen. God will punish Nigeria leaders
My bro, 7 gbosa for you all the way, very great work well done; Asaba is indeed a very fine place, this video has cleared some of the doubt in my mind, God bless you.
Firstly, the question in this video is disgraceful. How can you ask such when you see the stark traits of Igbo culture in full display, from Igbo akiri (Igbanke) to the Ohambara river (river Niger) in Ahaba (Asaba). The Indigenous Igbos in Ahaba (Asaba) are the descendants of the Ekumeku warriors that gave the British a good fight during the early invasion of the land. They fought side by side with their kins from Arochukwu. They also paid the supreme price during the Biafran genocide as their young men were rounded up and summarily executed in what is today known as the infamous Ahaba (Asaba) massacre. They are Igbos and no less than their brave relatives in the main land or uplands. My mother is from Ashaka in Ndokwa East and she's a very proud Igbo woman to the bones.
deri do you love your follow brothers in the north and you're kidnapping,rapeing and killing them in mass or you like your follow brothers,you're ready to betray them at a drop of hat just like most of you have betrayed and killed your top policticans like Abiola and Bola ige because of few coins.
Capital or not so far all the cities look the same . Downtrodden, due to corrupt powers that be that care nothing about the populace. Every location reminds me of poorest cities of 1930 USA, during the depression. Thank you sir for taking the time to film these very informative videos.
@@gerardonochie3408Your statement is ignorant, but here goes...no but my parents lived the 30s, from what I learned about the era in history class many towns and cities had dirt roads, outdoor sewage and plumbing 92 YEARS AGO!! Knock Asaba are you serious or in denial? The place looks like a hell hole and that is MY OPINION if you don't like it oh well. As I said before most of the footage shown of Africa all look the same downtrodden due to the evil and stench of corruption. See, in the US we have the right of speech but I noticed that some TH-cam commentary have to watch what is said which is why the continent is in the shape that its in. I said what I said, it is what it is. TO ME!!
Ika land, ndokwa, asaba etc, we are all igbos. Though, some are from igodomigodo (benin). I am from ika land and a very proud igbo man.No one should tell anyone where he or she came from . Asaba will be fully developed to a city standard when aniocha person becomes a governor of delta state.
It is very wrong for you to question the history of Asaba. It gives room for people to make unnecessary statement. The origin and history of Asaba is well documented. There is no confusion about that.
He hasn't come up with a controversial statement the question is as old as ' Bendel Igbo ' , Asaba is not Igbo but Bendel/Delta and Igbos came to trade with locals.
Na wa, every Asaba person I know, proudly claims Igbo! Everyone I know from that axis does!! Even Ibusa!! It’s Aboh/Agbor that may start saying otherwise and some Igbanke ppl
I really enjoy your videos. Im from Switzerland and I always thought there should be a guy just filming and explaining Africa to others. Good luck with ur business bro.
Finally someone spoke my mind Delta state should be more developed than this Asaba is even better,come to warri were I live, which is the largest city in Delta is like trenches, Delta doesn't look like its an oil producing state, bad government everywhere 😔
Warri has always been dilapidated town not city. Nothing new other than the population growth to match the poverty n dirty. They will be shouting ' warri no dey carry lass' yeye
@@odjugoemmanuel8395 Ignorance lol. Asaba is only one town in Delta and there are over 10 main towns in Delta. Unlike most other states that have one town. What that means is that it will take ten years for a town in Delta to develop the way Uyo or Porharcout or Calabar can develop. Those states have only one real town.
@divinemandate8831 I believe you haven't lived in this state otherwise you will know why Asaba will never develop like Uyo, Port Harcourt, Calabar, etc.
The Swiss are not German, neither are the Austrians even though they speak German. Respect that people have their own identities. It’s not by force to identify as Igbo. It takes nothing away from the greatness of the Igbo people.
You sound so uninformed almost like your mouth moves before your brain boots. Firstly the swiss do not speak german like the Germans.. Swiss-german is not the same. So you've already displayed your ineptitude and piss poor logic!! I challenge you to name one ethnic difference between Austrians and Germans i'll wait!! Ofcourse you cannot, politics (The unification of German states under Prussia 1871) separated them, but that does not tamper with genetic facts, they are the same people. Secondly Austria was in fact Germany up until the 1st world war. Austrians were/are regarded as ethnic Germans and viewed themselves as such, and ofcourse they do, when they are not mad men like yourself how would they deny such, when they know that they have the exact same Frankish ancestry.. And has existed since 800 when Charlamange King of the Franks/ the Holy Roman Emperor founded it within an amalgamated Germanic state. There is technically no such thing as swiss, the swiss are an amalgamation of these ethnolinguistic groups (Germanic, French, Italian, and Rhaeto-Romansh)!! These mostly make up the native Swiss population, whilst they have retained their specific characteristics... Originally, the country was inhabited by Celtic tribes in the west and south, and by Rhaetians in the east.... So once again you are wrong, because germanic tribes have lived there since the middle ages. ASABA is igbo land, period point black... Claiming them adds no value to ibos history of high achievement. Assumed identity or politically enforced identity has never ever trumped historical identity and shared genetic ancestry , So please calm down and stop sounding like an ignoramus online.
Germany is a State, Germanic is an ethnicity. Austrians can identify as Austrians but cannot deny their Germanic ethnicity. Its like saying Icelanders and Swedes are two distinct peoples when in truth they are a part of the Scandinavian family. Don’t conflate state lines, politics and post war era maneuvering with actual natural facts.
It is d divide and rule that is d problem someone answering uchechukwu tell u e is not Igbo no b JuJu b dat.we are Igbos even down to agbor and other communities or town.our name and mother's way of dressing tell where we came from.
If this am watching is Ahaba (Asaba) the capital city of Delta state, which means there are some misconception somewhere else. Oil 🛢 rich state in that regard.
@@fesderi3933 is that why you were arguing since that Asaba is not Igbo. Urhobo man is forcing Asaba man to deny his identity because Asaba is the capital of Delta State. Create another state out of Delta and make Warri or Ughelli or Sapele or even oghara capital Urhobos will no longer say that Asaba is not Igbo again. Funny people 😂😂😂
Wake up from your slumber...... ASABA IS PURE IGBO LAND. FYI: NO AMOUNT OF DIVIDE AND RULE DECEPTION CAN CHANGE THAT. THE ENTIRE ANIOMA PEOPLE ARE IGBO AND THEY KNOW THEIR IDENTITY.
Migration of Igbos to Lagos and Asaba has been a major problem for us in Yoruba land. Asaba is a cosmopolitan place. Look at seat at home in the South East. Asaba is not seating at home on Mondays with the South East 🥺.
Stupid ofemanu tribe with your dilapidated road leave igbo matter focus on your place we don't have time for people who can't even stop bike riding in there town course of poverty ode
That is how you know the enemies of IGBO people, because they always want to tell us our identity. ANIOMA PEOPLE ARE IGBO and no amount of divide and rule can change that.
Thank you very much my dear brother 🌹 It's nice seeing Asaba for the first time in my life. I should be embarrassed because Asaba is next to my home state of Anambra. The city is absolutely stunning and beautiful though with very narrow roads. Did anyone notice the trees 🌳 and greens in government spaces alone ? Shows our government knew what's good but they don't think we deserve it too. Great job 👍👍 Ndewo nwannem 👏
Eboh media, please try & stay on the city video coverage, I have listened to your comments, your don't know history , even state capitals, stay on your video it help
I keep feeling shame whenever this question of identity of all these Igbo speaking people that live outside of Southeast comes up. When I hear my non thinking Igbo brothers trying to force them to be Igbo I feel so so embarrassed. I don't think this matter is anything to talk about. Anybody can be what they want to be. If someone speaks Igbo as first language, answers Igbo name and practices Igbo culture and yet denies being Igbo, then there's no way in the world that the person can be Igbo. Because no full blooded Igbo person will ever deny his identity for whatsoever reason in the world. We should rather encouragement them to dissociate themselves from Igbo very well by stopping to speak the Igbo language, stopping to practice Igbo cultures etc, and reverting to whatever language they ought to be speaking as a separate ethnic group. I think it is a thing of pride that non igbos have abandoned and even forgotten their original language in order to speak Igbo and practice Igbo cultures, without being forced to do it.
Because Igbo is a language and it is also a tribe! English is a language and also a tribe! English name in a town or speaking English does not make the people in the town English! Asaba history is available in the Delta State website.
Only that Ibori loot will add beauty but was takin outside the country men will be fighting to bring in dollars politicians will be moving the dollars out God help us
I've been to both for a while. I have gone round them and lived more in Asaba not long ago and can tell you Lokoja is no where close to Asaba. Nevertheless, the past governments in Delta should have done more considering the resources the state has always had
Ahaba is pure and complete Igbo people, they are only suffering from the thruma of the war between 1967 to 70. The nigeria military in which Gowon is in charge with their british counterpart deed alot of damage we have never recover till date. I can understand easily when a person from Ahaba speaks more than person from Nnuska. So is only a person whom was not informed will say the people of Ahaba are not Igbos
@@ukaegbueni2035 This things you people are saying, do you know that there are documents to such effects? Everything is on documents. The East was part of Cameroon. A referendum was held. It is that referendum that brought the Igbo into Nigeria. The Atiku you see today was also a product of that referendum in North East. The land the Igbo brought with them into Nigeria was the 5 Eastern states, is on documents. Igbos did not bring Asaba or Delta. Why are you arguing blindly what is on the documents?
@@ukaegbueni2035 Everybody knows that Kofi is a Ghanaian name. The Under 17 Togo player Jessy number 11 name is Enoch Kofi, a Togolese. Now you will force it on him that because his name is Kofi therefore he is a Ghanaian. Because this same Kofi lives in Togo therefore Togo belongs to Ghana. Stupid talk. If you like a name you are free to adopt any name you like ok?
@@Majesta123 so, it's referendum that brought east from Cameroon back to nigeria? Ok. Those easterner that was brought back to nigeria are Igbo people with 5 states. Hmmm 🤔🤔! Is see your poor history. No wonder you sound like that
Is it not shameful that Asaba and Awka are birth mates?? Can you compare the two state capitals? The past Governors and present governor of Anambra state should be ashamed of themselves..Just Look at Asaba that was made capital of Delta the same day Awka was made capital of Anambra state..It’s shameful that most houses in Asaba are owned and built by Anambra indigenes.Soludo is now the governor and nothing has been said about infrastructural development in Awka to make Awka a befitting state capital for Anambra indigenes..
Well, you have said it all but with the on going akuruo ulo initiatives the story of Awka will change very soon, as of now Awka is a glorified local government headquarters and apart from Enugu, Owerri and Asaba all cities in Igbo land looks more like a war time cities
@@kennethdavid1107 Well!! You are right bro..Anambra indigenes collectively are trying their best to develop Awka as their state capital by building mansions,eateries,schools,industries but the state government is not doing anything in terms of infrastructures..Awka is a city that the past Governors and even the present governor hates to develop..Can you imagine? Peter Obi and Willie Obiano were leaving in Onitsha Governor’s lodge throughout their 8 years in office.For 35 years of Awka as a state capital,Awka does not have a standard Government house,Judiciary quarters,Governor’s lodge.,State house of Assembly quarters etc..
@@kennethdavid1107 you are not entirely correct. Owerri is a glorified rural area, Owerri is about the worst state capital in Nigeria, bad roads, filth, etc is the hallmark of Owerri. Enugu on the hand is an overhyped jungle, I was there recently, the present gov has taken the state 100yrrs backward..Asaba is not different from a provincial headquarters. With the ongoing akuluo una, Awka is the fastest developing city in Nigeria aside Abuja with its new worldclass ICC, Awka Millennium city, flyovers, etc, the new administration is poised to take development higher
Southern Nigerians think naija is all in the south.see people saying asaba,owerri n awka are the worst state capitals. I wish someone will bring them to lafia nasarawa,lokoja kogi,jalingo taraba,makurdi benue to see how mess up these cities are
Asaba and Awka are doing well and also among the fastest growing cities in Nigeria, but Owerri is nothing but a glorified village, Owerri has bad roads and filth more than Aba.
@@linkso7166 comprehension is a problem for Nigerians, where did I say they need the south to promote them? And who told u the north gives a rats ass about u down south
Bro, you shouldn't mind those animals that are saying ills about Owerri , it's all because of jealousy... Owerri is one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria... A visit will convince you, or you can at least watch the city's TH-cam videos by this same Ebo G and other TH-camrs...
@PP forgive Ufuoma due to lack of understanding of the word Enuani, being Urhobo people that's why he/she keeps emphasizing what he/she doesn't know the meaning. Meelu ya ebere.
Oh, no! This is the most dusty city I have ever seen on TH-cam. What is with Asaba, the capital city of Delta state, with all the oil money? This is so sad! Thank you, for this video, sir
Please if all these south south people say they’re not Igbo then so be it And also their politicians should also say that they’re not Igbo and shouldn’t expect Igbos support in political matters I would rather vote for Hausa than vote for south south who would have the bitter heart of denying their identity
@@owerrig296 serious...I will soon lunch my book on state of eastern city .. The dirty part of our cities drives away investors,but our selfish leaders dnt know .
ANSWERING BRITISH NAMES OR SPEAKING ENGLISH LANGUAGE DOESN'T MAKE MR PETER IN NIGERIA A BRITISH MAN? ASABA HISTORY LINAGE IS FROM BENIN EMPIRE OLD NAME Asaaba = *can cross over sea*
I believe that people shouldnt be fighting over tribal identities, if anything it reveals how entrenched and dumb people are, if they arent part of team a are they instantly your enemy? How does it concern you if they arent assigned to team a? Love your videos, very much
Don't be amazed they deny being ibo, frankly it takes a man to be ibo in nigeria. A people who put in extra effort to get what is legitimately their right.
The fact that people are trying too hard to not be called Igbo should also tell the Igbos to look in the mirror. What is it about you guys that people who should ordinarily want to associate with you either for historical or geographical reason, are trying hard to dissociate with you? Don’t tell me it’s because people are envious of you, because it’s a ridiculous excuse. Even Igbos of Ebonyi descent are looked down upon by the rest of the Igbos.
Let's not deceive ourselves.....Asaba looks disappointing...I say this because for a long time, the state gets more allocations than any other states in nigeria, including Lagos and A/ibom.....I can't compare it with Enugu, if government house area can be that dirty, then something is terribly wrong.....I've been to practically 80% of state capital in nigeria and I'll tell you that this place is one of the dirtiest. Don't take it out of proportion, I am from one of the poorest states (kogi) and I have nothing to brag about, irrespective of that, I must commend those that are doing well and the terrible ones. Gombe city is 10× cleaner than here. That is a fact.
In Awka the so.called Ngozika Estate roads are not good. But the politicians have mansions there, but no road. Awka is a glorified town.. disgrace... Asaba and the whole of Delta State is better than the whole of Anambra State
Kelvin uche, even from the vlog you could see that Awka is like America compare to Asaba. Asaba I am seeing here is like a glorified rural area and worst state capital in Nigeria despite being a capital of a major oil producing state.
@@stevestyve1 Have you been to Awka? Go to Awka and see the filth there. Everywhere is dirty.. i left Unizik in 2003 back then we dont have filth. But now everywhere is dirty and even our Perm site gate at Unizik is despicable
@@legacy14700000 stop deceiving yourself, the guy told you the bitter truth. Asaba is a glorified rural area littered with dilapidated muddy roads and filth everywhere. Awka a lot better and more developed than Asaba. I am in assba now. Don't forget that Asaba is the capital of oil rich state. Asaba is a glorified rural area
All of Nigeria is ugly and undeveloped Can anywhere in Nigeria even compete with Johannesburg not to talk of Dubai, Singapore, Toronto, Melbourne, etc.
The title is misleading. The question is disrespectful. Because the place is delta state doesn’t mean it can not be an igbo city. There’s igbo cities everywhere, including in Equatorial Guinean!!!. So why are we afraid to say PH is an igbo city, or that okpanam, agbor are igbo cities. The issue starts with the indigenes of these places who were played by fulanis, to hate themselves. They now call themselves Ika, or delta igbo. What kind of stupidity is that?. I’m yet to hear a Hausa man call himself taraba Hausa, or Kwara hausa, you’re hausa you’re hausa, accent and dialect don’t mean shit
The problem asaba is currently having is the same problem that has secretly crept into igbo land, ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Everybody now na oyibo dem dey speak, including my dear onitsha, Owerri and even Oba. It’s disgraceful and I can’t even begin to explain how dumb it is. My best friend is from asaba and he’s a pure igbo man. His accent sounds exactly like mine, onitsha boy.
I just tire as if being igbo has contributed any development or investments to igbos. I don't know why my igbos like dragging people and ethnic sycophants. From Kogi they drag reach benin to Calabar from east to Bayalsa... inferiority complex is a bastard that reduces you to drag other people that are doing well to compliment your failures.
You must be from that side of the state, the master plan of delta state was first birthed during ibori 's government instead of the implementation of the plan he busy stealing and sharing Delta state money with the uroboh people, and his cousin oduaghan took over the looting from where he stopped he did not even mind the Masters plan of the State that was to last for 20yrs, and after the exit of of this two persons, the whole State was like a rubbish bin. Investors rejected the state one of the major boost to development, ibori prepared the ground for the investors to run away from the so call warri and by the time of his cousin oduaghan they finally run. Warri would have been the greatest error to be the capital city of the State, the backwardness as it is today would have been worse. Asaba/ warri and the entire Master plan of delta state under the government of the day is a welcome idea, Asaba is beginning to experience growth so you expect what you're seeing just like lagos it was so until.
Only a small mind thinks capitals have to be in overcrowded slums called “cities” Most sensible countries put the capital in a different place than the commercial hub to avoid overcrowding and opportunities to expand development to other areas Go and travel the world a bit and stop with this small archaic mentality
@@BrainWelsh asaba or Delta state was never been part of the old south east region. Delta and Edo state were of former Midwest region that carved out of south west region.
Yes few of them say they not Igbo but their prominent persns agreed that they are Igbos , you the write of the piece wants us to accept that some one who speaks same language , bears same names and both in there locations and human identity, for instance, Igbos of South East bears the following names like Asaba indigenes: Okonkwo, Chukwuemeka , okeke , uchechechukwu ,Nwankwo, Okocha etc. The name Asaba , is corrupted from its original name"Ahaba' note that in Isuikwuto LGA of Abia state, their is a community called Ahaba. Secondly, you want an Igbo people to accept that Asaba is Igbo, but when it comes to 1966 coup , led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu, you call it an Igbo coup. Who is deceiving who?

My bro, 7 gbosa for you all the way, very great work well done; Asaba is indeed a very fine place, this video has cleared some of the doubt in my mind, God bless you.
Asaba is very beautiful
Big up bro good content it felt like I was in Nigeria for an hour lol More videos bro keep up the good work! 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Firstly, the question in this video is disgraceful. How can you ask such when you see the stark traits of Igbo culture in full display, from Igbo akiri (Igbanke) to the Ohambara river (river Niger) in Ahaba (Asaba).
The Indigenous Igbos in Ahaba (Asaba) are the descendants of the Ekumeku warriors that gave the British a good fight during the early invasion of the land. They fought side by side with their kins from Arochukwu.
They also paid the supreme price during the Biafran genocide as their young men were rounded up and summarily executed in what is today known as the infamous Ahaba (Asaba) massacre.
They are Igbos and no less than their brave relatives in the main land or uplands. My mother is from Ashaka in Ndokwa East and she's a very proud Igbo woman to the bones.
They say they’re not Igbo. You guys should respect it. It’s not by force.
You have no right to tell others who they are ... You are claiming them as if you love your fellow Igbo in your south east
@@HGsoul4ever Are you okay? My mother is from Anioma and she's Igbo.
It is d divide and rule that has destroyed the eastern region
deri do you love your follow brothers in the north and you're kidnapping,rapeing and killing them in mass or you like your follow brothers,you're ready to betray them at a drop of hat just like most of you have betrayed and killed your top policticans like Abiola and Bola ige because of few coins.
once again thank you GOD bless you for this videos of Asaba.
Try and check out Maryam Babangida Road,DBS Road and their adjoining streets next time.
Asaba is beautiful in my own view 😍
🙄🙄😠😠
Capital or not so far all the cities look the same . Downtrodden, due to corrupt powers that be that care nothing about the populace. Every location reminds me of poorest cities of 1930 USA, during the depression. Thank you sir for taking the time to film these very informative videos.
Where you alive in the 1930s or just want to knock Asaba.
@@gerardonochie3408Your statement is ignorant, but here goes...no but my parents lived the 30s, from what I learned about the era in history class many towns and cities had dirt roads, outdoor sewage and plumbing 92 YEARS AGO!! Knock Asaba are you serious or in denial? The place looks like a hell hole and that is MY OPINION if you don't like it oh well. As I said before most of the footage shown of Africa all look the same downtrodden due to the evil and stench of corruption. See, in the US we have the right of speech but I noticed that some TH-cam commentary have to watch what is said which is why the continent is in the shape that its in. I said what I said, it is what it is. TO ME!!
This is beyond my ordinary dreams! I never thought that I would able to learn so much! Thanks for lending me your eyes. God will bless you.
Lets move! Great video, bro.
Thanks for watching br
Did all fail to see that the.author is asking a question, not making a statement.
Ika land, ndokwa, asaba etc, we are all igbos. Though, some are from igodomigodo (benin). I am from ika land and a very proud igbo man.No one should tell anyone where he or she came from . Asaba will be fully developed to a city standard when aniocha person becomes a governor of delta state.
I hate those red dust on the roads, is there no council workers in Delta state to clean the roads?
3:56 that's literally my old primary school on the left😭 man I miss it
It is very wrong for you to question the history of Asaba. It gives room for people to make unnecessary statement. The origin and history of Asaba is well documented. There is no confusion about that.
Please can you give me the link?
People are already making unnecessary statement.... it's a very unnecessary title to the video
He hasn't come up with a controversial statement the question is as old as ' Bendel Igbo ' , Asaba is not Igbo but Bendel/Delta and Igbos came to trade with locals.
@@werqzeleke2815 any link to back up your claims?
Fantastic absolutely fantastic thank you. Maybe a tour of the hotels in Asaba would be nice if you could do that
I enjoyed working with you but try to mention places
Na wa, every Asaba person I know, proudly claims Igbo! Everyone I know from that axis does!! Even Ibusa!!
It’s Aboh/Agbor that may start saying otherwise and some Igbanke ppl
The original name is Ahaba- ime - enyi. not Asaba! Get your facts right first.

Delta state is one of the richest states in Nigeria , I expected more than I have seen here in terms of development and infrastructures.
Finally someone spoke my mind
Delta state should be more developed than this
Asaba is even better,come to warri were I live, which is the largest city in Delta is like trenches, Delta doesn't look like its an oil producing state, bad government everywhere 😔
The richest actually
Warri has always been dilapidated town not city. Nothing new other than the population growth to match the poverty n dirty. They will be shouting ' warri no dey carry lass' yeye
@@odjugoemmanuel8395 Ignorance lol. Asaba is only one town in Delta and there are over 10 main towns in Delta. Unlike most other states that have one town. What that means is that it will take ten years for a town in Delta to develop the way Uyo or Porharcout or Calabar can develop. Those states have only one real town.
@divinemandate8831 I believe you haven't lived in this state otherwise you will know why Asaba will never develop like Uyo, Port Harcourt, Calabar, etc.

The Swiss are not German, neither are the Austrians even though they speak German. Respect that people have their own identities. It’s not by force to identify as Igbo. It takes nothing away from the greatness of the Igbo people.
You sound so uninformed almost like your mouth moves before your brain boots. Firstly the swiss do not speak german like the Germans.. Swiss-german is not the same. So you've already displayed your ineptitude and piss poor logic!! I challenge you to name one ethnic difference between Austrians and Germans i'll wait!! Ofcourse you cannot, politics (The unification of German states under Prussia 1871) separated them, but that does not tamper with genetic facts, they are the same people.
Secondly Austria was in fact Germany up until the 1st world war. Austrians were/are regarded as ethnic Germans and viewed themselves as such, and ofcourse they do, when they are not mad men like yourself how would they deny such, when they know that they have the exact same Frankish ancestry.. And has existed since 800 when Charlamange King of the Franks/ the Holy Roman Emperor founded it within an amalgamated Germanic state.
There is technically no such thing as swiss, the swiss are an amalgamation of these ethnolinguistic groups (Germanic, French, Italian, and Rhaeto-Romansh)!! These mostly make up the native Swiss population, whilst they have retained their specific characteristics... Originally, the country was inhabited by Celtic tribes in the west and south, and by Rhaetians in the east.... So once again you are wrong, because germanic tribes have lived there since the middle ages.
ASABA is igbo land, period point black... Claiming them adds no value to ibos history of high achievement. Assumed identity or politically enforced identity has never ever trumped historical identity and shared genetic ancestry , So please calm down and stop sounding like an ignoramus online.
The Swiss, German Netherlands, Austria are all Germans.
Germany is a State, Germanic is an ethnicity. Austrians can identify as Austrians but cannot deny their Germanic ethnicity. Its like saying Icelanders and Swedes are two distinct peoples when in truth they are a part of the Scandinavian family. Don’t conflate state lines, politics and post war era maneuvering with actual natural facts.
My bro the swiss,Germans,Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, English are all of Germanic ethnic group. They all speak Germanic language
English are of Germanic ancestry (Anglo-saxon)
Asaba is an Igbo land, before the white men came to Nigeria, the name was Ahaba. Mr Eboh Media please knows that.
It is d divide and rule that is d problem someone answering uchechukwu tell u e is not Igbo no b JuJu b dat.we are Igbos even down to agbor and other communities or town.our name and mother's way of dressing tell where we came from.
If this am watching is Ahaba (Asaba) the capital city of Delta state, which means there are some misconception somewhere else. Oil 🛢 rich state in that regard.
You Igbo should be happy that Babangida wife gave you Capital city, we the main Deltans in WARRI Sapele, Ughelli don't see asaba as part of our Delta

@@fesderi3933 is that why you were arguing since that Asaba is not Igbo. Urhobo man is forcing Asaba man to deny his identity because Asaba is the capital of Delta State.

Migration of Igbos to Lagos and Asaba has been a major problem for us in Yoruba land. Asaba is a cosmopolitan place. Look at seat at home in the South East. Asaba is not seating at home on Mondays with the South East 🥺.

It's nice seeing Asaba for the first time in my life. I should be embarrassed because Asaba is next to my home state of Anambra.
The city is absolutely stunning and beautiful though with very narrow roads.
Did anyone notice the trees 🌳 and greens in government spaces alone ? Shows our government knew what's good but they don't think we deserve it too.
Great job 👍👍

Anioma is generally Igbo undebatable
Anuoma is a name the igbos gave to the area after colluding with northernees to divide Midwest region, babaginda wife did it.
Only government areas dey always look good and properly planned
Exactly 💯
During the civil war there were no igbo person in delta, all the igbos returned to the east. Why was that If you claimed delta is igbo land?
The founder of Asaba is from Igala (Idah) precisely.it was the mother of Nnebisi that comes from Nteje.
And idah are Igbos too
Well done Eboh G
Eboh media, please try & stay on the city video coverage, I have listened to your comments, your don't know history , even state capitals, stay on your video it help
My home
I keep feeling shame whenever this question of identity of all these Igbo speaking people that live outside of Southeast comes up.
When I hear my non thinking Igbo brothers trying to force them to be Igbo I feel so so embarrassed.
I don't think this matter is anything to talk about. Anybody can be what they want to be.
If someone speaks Igbo as first language, answers Igbo name and practices Igbo culture and yet denies being Igbo, then there's no way in the world that the person can be Igbo. Because no full blooded Igbo person will ever deny his identity for whatsoever reason in the world.
We should rather encouragement them to dissociate themselves from Igbo very well by stopping to speak the Igbo language, stopping to practice Igbo cultures etc, and reverting to whatever language they ought to be speaking as a separate ethnic group.
I think it is a thing of pride that non igbos have abandoned and even forgotten their original language in order to speak Igbo and practice Igbo cultures, without being forced to do it.

Because Igbo is a language and it is also a tribe! English is a language and also a tribe! English name in a town or speaking English does not make the people in the town English! Asaba history is available in the Delta State website.

Only that Ibori loot will add beauty but was takin outside the country men will be fighting to bring in dollars politicians will be moving the dollars out God help us
I've been to both for a while. I have gone round them and lived more in Asaba not long ago and can tell you Lokoja is no where close to Asaba. Nevertheless, the past governments in Delta should have done more considering the resources the state has always had
Ahaba is pure and complete Igbo people, they are only suffering from the thruma of the war between 1967 to 70. The nigeria military in which Gowon is in charge with their british counterpart deed alot of damage we have never recover till date. I can understand easily when a person from Ahaba speaks more than person from Nnuska. So is only a person whom was not informed will say the people of Ahaba are not Igbos

@eboh, Asaba is Igbo. Don’t mind the fools that claim they aren’t. If we aren’t Igbo why do we speak igbo? Just dumb.
Is it not shameful that Asaba and Awka are birth mates?? Can you compare the two state capitals? The past Governors and present governor of Anambra state should be ashamed of themselves..Just Look at Asaba that was made capital of Delta the same day Awka was made capital of Anambra state..It’s shameful that most houses in Asaba are owned and built by Anambra indigenes.Soludo is now the governor and nothing has been said about infrastructural development in Awka to make Awka a befitting state capital for Anambra indigenes..
Well, you have said it all but with the on going akuruo ulo initiatives the story of Awka will change very soon, as of now Awka is a glorified local government headquarters and apart from Enugu, Owerri and Asaba all cities in Igbo land looks more like a war time cities
@@kennethdavid1107 Well!! You are right bro..Anambra indigenes collectively are trying their best to develop Awka as their state capital by building mansions,eateries,schools,industries but the state government is not doing anything in terms of infrastructures..Awka is a city that the past Governors and even the present governor hates to develop..Can you imagine? Peter Obi and Willie Obiano were leaving in Onitsha Governor’s lodge throughout their 8 years in office.For 35 years of Awka as a state capital,Awka does not have a standard Government house,Judiciary quarters,Governor’s lodge.,State house of Assembly quarters etc..

With the ongoing akuluo una, Awka is the fastest developing city in Nigeria aside Abuja with its new worldclass ICC, Awka Millennium city, flyovers, etc, the new administration is poised to take development higher

The fact that people are trying too hard to not be called Igbo should also tell the Igbos to look in the mirror. What is it about you guys that people who should ordinarily want to associate with you either for historical or geographical reason, are trying hard to dissociate with you?

Let's not deceive ourselves.....Asaba looks disappointing...I say this because for a long time, the state gets more allocations than any other states in nigeria, including Lagos and A/ibom.....I can't compare it with Enugu, if government house area can be that dirty, then something is terribly wrong.....I've been to practically 80% of state capital in nigeria and I'll tell you that this place is one of the dirtiest. Don't take it out of proportion, I am from one of the poorest states (kogi) and I have nothing to brag about, irrespective of that, I must commend those that are doing well and the terrible ones.

I’m yet to hear a Hausa man call himself taraba Hausa, or Kwara hausa, you’re hausa you’re hausa, accent and dialect don’t mean shit

Delta State Government should move the state capital to warri. Asaba is not fit to be a state capital.
Asaba is not that bad sha
You must be from that side of the state, the master plan of delta state was first birthed during ibori 's government instead of the implementation of the plan he busy stealing and sharing Delta state money with the uroboh people, and his cousin oduaghan took over the looting from where he stopped he did not even mind the Masters plan of the State that was to last for 20yrs, and after the exit of of this two persons, the whole State was like a rubbish bin.
Investors rejected the state one of the major boost to development, ibori prepared the ground for the investors to run away from the so call warri and by the time of his cousin oduaghan they finally run.
Warri would have been the greatest error to be the capital city of the State, the backwardness as it is today would have been worse.
Asaba/ warri and the entire Master plan of delta state under the government of the day is a welcome idea, Asaba is beginning to experience growth so you expect what you're seeing just like lagos it was so until.
Only a small mind thinks capitals have to be in overcrowded slums called “cities”
Most sensible countries put the capital in a different place than the commercial hub to avoid overcrowding and opportunities to expand development to other areas

Yes few of them say they not Igbo but their prominent persns agreed that they are Igbos , you the write of the piece wants us to accept that some one who speaks same language , bears same names and both in there locations and human identity, for instance, Igbos of South East bears the following names like Asaba indigenes: Okonkwo, Chukwuemeka , okeke , uchechechukwu ,Nwankwo, Okocha etc. The name Asaba , is corrupted from its original name"Ahaba' note that in Isuikwuto LGA of Abia state, their is a community called Ahaba.
Secondly, you want an Igbo people to accept that Asaba is Igbo, but when it comes to 1966 coup , led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu, you call it an Igbo coup. Who is deceiving who?
