Please Why Are The Urhobos Always Laying Claim Of Owning Warri An Itsekiri Land by EreluRoz: 8:52pm On May 04 |
Everywhere you go the Urhobos are always laying claims of owning Warri as their land whereas the name Warri was coined from the word Iwere which is actually an Itsekiri word they also claim majority in Warri as well. Also we have Olu of Warri as the king who is an Itsekiri man. An Urhobo man or any other tribe can never be king in the same Warri they are laying claim to. Please where is the entitlement of ownership from the Urhobos coming from? |

EreluRoz: Well... Maybe some of them, because the bulk of a community can't have the same provenance The earliest settlers of Warri, the itsekiris are from Ijebu Itsekiri in Yoruba is Isekiri Meaning Wandering.... The itsekiris were ijebu wanderers 1 Like |

Just so you know, the name Warri is an Urhobo name, names after the great Chief Sam Warri Essi. So don’t argue what you don’t know. Urhobo is the most dominant tribe in Delta state and even big enough to become a state of its own. Warri belongs to Urhobos. Check well Itsekiri are riverine people. And the Urhobos migrated from Benin kingdom, formally slaves who rebelled against their masters and migrated down to present day Delta state. If you are an Itsekiri ask your palace historians to verify all I said. Thank you. |

FitCorper:Tales by moonlight. Go ask the meaning of Iwere where the name Warri was coined from? How can the Urhobos own warri and another tribe the itsekiris ruling over them? I'm not an Itsekiri but we are the mother of the present king of Warri Tsola Emiko whose mother is our very own. 1 Like |

My bad. Apologies. Just confirmed now, Warri was mispronounced by the whites and d name was kept. Itsekiri and Ijaws were both riverine communities. And it was formally the Olu of Itsekiri until it was renamed by Edjoor the boyfriend of Numa under Numa persuasion to Olu of Warri. To keep him in check other Kingdoms were created in Warri by the Urhobos, Agbassa, Okumagba etc. |
