You said Oba of Lagos is ceremonial. So how is he powerful? Some of the people you mentioned are not known beyond their local government.

The list should be:

Amanyanabor
Emir of Zauzau
Igwe Orizu (Nnewi)
Emir of Sokoto
Emir of Kano
Olubadan of Ibadan
Etsu of Nupe
Gbomgwon Jo's
Oba of Benin
Atta of Igala.

NB: The Agbor dude, Oba Lamidi, etc. are 2nd-Tier kings

Uvwie is a LGA on it's own while Warri comprises of three LGAs... There is a General misconception tho that Warri is the whole of the various LGAs sorrounding it since it's more popular... JUST like people call Ota as Lagos now.

Ohh, I see- thanks for the clarification.
So, does that mean the Itsekiris actually do historically own Warri?

No... Warri has two aborigines... Itsekiri and Urhobos... I can give you a detailed link for the historiography of Warri... If you like.

It means nothing in both languages here as a Benin prince founded the town.... It should mean something to Prince Ginuwa who named it tho...

Hope d Agbor monach is not bleaching his skin? Learnt his people are not comfortable with his decision to marry a white woman.

The Itsekiris say the town's original name is Iwerre before it was corrupted by colonialists to 'Warri"
Also, Since you say Warri has two aboriginal populations, the Itsekiri and the Urhobo, what is the stake of the Ijaws in the matter? or are they just "participating" in the fight, to benefit from the ensuing fracas?
