I kinda agree with you. At least, you aren't aggressive as the rest of your itsekiri brothers.

Well done. cool

Nah, you can't cry about anyone's aggression when criminals continue to want to steal land which doesn't belong to them and that's even funny, considering everything is already documented combined with the old map hence, only fools think he can steal anyone's land πŸ™„. Everyone know their territory as a matter of fact. Anyways, the Oritsekiri/Jekri have had enough. Iwere should have been with their Ondo brothers to begin with, like Ilaje etc..

What is this one even saying ?
ReubenE:
Itsekiri the smallest ethnic group in Delta State is fighting everybody. Today they are fighting Urhobo over Warri, today Ijaw in Warri South West or Warri North.

I have never seen ethnic group that's not big enough to fill a single local government of their own make so much noise like the Itsekiri.
You share Warri South with Urhobo and Ijaw, share Warri South West with Ijaw, share Warri North with Ijaw yet Itsekiri are the ones calling Ijaw and Urhobo tenants in Warri.

Even Olu of Itsekiri that Awolowo promoted to Olu of Warri that cannot access everywhere in Warri without being chased away by Urhobo boys...yet Itsekiri make the loudest noise in Delta State warning either Urhobo or Ijaw that's bigger than them all the time.
They better sit down and discuss like brothers before another round of fighting will break out.
It may not favour them as even Urhobo is patiently waiting to instil and expand Wado City if Itsekiri go the war route.

This is fact and not a lie! There was no Okere-urhobo kingdom before ex gov. Ibori made okumagba the king of Okere-urhobo kingdom on Itsekiri homeland.

Itsekiri has been sacrificing their well-being in the interest of peace in Delta state.

Speak with facts or get lost!

That issue went to court and the ogbolokposo people won the case.

Okay.

But the people of Effurun are saying that that the land which the people of ugbolokposo are claiming belongs to them.

Meanwhile, how did the people of ugbolokposo find themselves there? Mind sharing some historical stories cool

You don't know about state creation again?

Anyways , the Itsekiri need to have their own state. Old map should be used in carving it out. Everyone know their territory. Ijaw's territory for example are in Bayesa, a little above Bayesa and the downward part of River.

Hmm.

What is the claim of the Ijaws and Urhobos over Warri, seeing that Warri as a name originated from the Itsekiris?

Having settled for Ogbe Ijoh as the local government headquarters of Warri South West by the Obasanjo government, how are the Ijaws laying claim to Ode Itsekiri as their ancestral land too.

The Ijaws inhabit the south and east of that area, do they also own the land to the Atlantic, where the Ijaws have owned and interacted with white slave traders since the 17th century?

Can someone clarify here please?
Historian what is the meaning of Warri in Itsekiri?

Urhobo is the most peaceful tribe in that Warri territory. They even own most dry lands in Warri,yet you won't see them fermenting trouble like Ijaw and Itsekiri.

If Ijaw and Itsekiri try to start any crisis again in Warri, then Wado City is finally coming home for the Urhobos.

Jekris and empty brags. With every warri crises that happens, jekris loses dominance. The next one will surely send you all homeless people back to your abandoned ancestral home. Even your king doesn’t live in his ancestral home, rather he is squatting in okere land.
The Agbarha people in Warri south who have tolerated your nonsense have woken up to the truth.

You are talking about scores, kindly list them here so we can Shane you with the truth. Even your king cowardly ran to seek refuge in ondo state during the crises. Your villages burnt, jekris massacred like chicken. Ibori an Urhobo that came to your rescue, if not jekri could have been extinct by now.

Least I forget, Shola your king was stoned recently in okere. So keep deceiving yourself, the end of jekri is here and nobody is going to save you this time around.

Just to clarify, the name Warri is not itshekiri but an ijaw name. Which means house or residence. Moreover the Itshekiri's are sojourners from Igbesen in present day Edo state and only migrated to Warri.

See how stupid you sound. If Warri is Itshekiri land, why does your Olu been given boundary adjustment by Agbassa and Okere Urhobo kingdom? Even the land the olu palace is built on, belongs to the Okumagba family. It seems the people advising Tsola, are spoiling for war. They forgot what happened the last time they dared the Ijaws

Who gave him boundary? Last time, Ijaw and Urhobo were sacked from Warri by the supreme court. High time the laws is enacted and Warri state is created to checkmate criminal fools like yourselves. Everyone knows their boundaries.

Warri is definitely not an Ijaw name. It was the colonial masters who called the name Warri go make it easy for pronounciation. The Itsekiris called it Iwerre, among others. So far I have not found the Ijaw or Urhobo names. I am not holding brief for the Itsekiris.

You may please research and clear it.

Thanks.

How can the colonial masters mistake Iwerre for Warri? The name Warri stem from the Ijaws word Wari, which means house or residence. The Itshekiri's are sojourners, you can't claim because they were more educated than the aborigines they met in the town then that makes them automatic owners of the land. The first Olu of itshekiri migrated from Igbesen in Edo state to the town called warri, so what happened to the inhabitants he met? I don't need to research this issue, because I'm both Ijaw and Itshekiri by blood. I've read books and listened to the elders. So this matter has been laid to rest a long time ago and we don't need to resurrect it to cause another communal war. Have you been to Warri lately? The town has not yet recovered from the previous Ijaw/itshekiri crisis and that's the reason there's no proper development in the former oil city.

Thank you for your response.

It gets painful each time this Ijaw/Itsekiri/Urhobo struggle for Warri comes up. The fights that have cut short the lives of Soma y youths should be enough to teach all parties the lessons that they need in peaceful co-habitation.

I tend to agree that oil is the principal driver of the battle for that land.

There's no Ijaw or Urhobo in Warri which belongs to Itsekiri. Old map point to everyone's boundaries. I don't know why some aren't contented but choose to be criminal fools. It's even stupid if any criminal fool thinks he can steal land in this age when old map are already documented. As a matter of fact, the suppreme court sacked Urhobo and Ijaw from Warri. High time, the law is enacted! In fact, Warri need their own state.

How can the colonial masters mistake Iwerre for Warri? The name Warri stem from the Ijaws word Wari, which means house or residence. The Itshekiri's are sojourners, you can't claim because they were more educated than the aborigines they met in the town then that makes them automatic owners of the land. The first Olu of itshekiri migrated from Igbesen in Edo state to the town called warri, so what happened to the inhabitants he met? I don't need to research this issue, because I'm both Ijaw and Itshekiri by blood. I've read books and listened to the elders. So this matter has been laid to rest a long time ago and we don't need to resurrect it to cause another communal war. Have you been to Warri lately? The town has not yet recovered from the previous Ijaw/itshekiri crisis and that's the reason there's no proper development in the former oil city.

You dey craze. Iwere which was even mentioned in Ifa. You saw the old map with the name Iwere yet you're still saying gibberish? You dey mad? Even in the old map, Ijaw was nowhere to be found! Urhobo history started only in the early 1880's sef. They were Bini slaves who trespassed into Bini and were used as sacrifices thus were running away from Bini.

The Jekri are Ijebu from Ife who span from Lagos to Ondo to the Itsekiri/Jekri areas. These were the people whom Olu Ginuwa, another Yoruba man met there before he was made a king by the Jekri.

As I said, everyone knows their boundaries. Warri belongs to the Itsekiri/Jekri. Last time Ijaw and Urhobo were sacked from Warri by the supreme court. In fact, the law need to be enacted.You dey craze? As I said, only a brainless criminal fool think he can steal territory in this age when old map are documented. In fact, Warri need their own state.
