Talk:Isoko (region)

Isoko is an area in Nigeria most diversified in terms of ethnic groups and languages as the commonly spoken language (Isoko) varies (not much though) within a distance of one kilometre. This was popularly celebrated in a song composed by one of the indigenes (Evi-Edna Ogholi) when she sang "one kilometre is another language".

The Isokos are a friendly community living in the lower Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. The area has many mineral resources although crude oil is the most tapped.
