OrlandoOwoh:

Itsekiri owns Warri, Urhobo owns Effurun. From, say, Ogbe Ijow down to Enerhen Junction is part of Warri. From there, Urhobo College are parts of Effurun. An Urhobo man here will never permit you to erect a signboard that carries the name, Warri. I've never seen an Urhobo man say they own Warri.

abraka00:
I speak authoritatively. Warri belongs to the Urhobos as pronounced by the supreme court. Again, the title 'olu of warri' will cease to exist after the reign of this present olu. It shall be reverted to 'olu of itsekiri'.

Miscellaneous:


if not that I just prayed, I would have said u are a daft. How can u say the urhobos own warri? Are u joking? I have never heard urhobos argue about ownership of warri cos they know they don't own it!! That case u talk about court was the okumagba(urhobo) family who claimed an itsekiri land … because it's impossible for one family(okumagba) to live around itsekiri……… how come? Although they won the court case ……… check history & wikipedia…… Had it been the urhobos are in the position where the itsekiris are presently & historically, it will be glaring they own warri due to their population but because the itsekiris are small, the ijaws & urhobos are taking their benevolence & advantage for granted! And I heard you saying after this olu it will be reverted to "olu of itsekiri"? Iffa hear am…… except u wanna bring war. It's like saying the ijaws should release all itsekiri land they claimed ….. I beg to insult you, U ARE A DAFT!! … . Very annoying…… the itsekiris own warri.... history said so .... read between the lines. The ijaws should say what u said above(the itsekiris would accept it cos ijaws somehow live in warri right from time although not justified) but an urhobo! Abeg commot here … go read history before u post rubbish to incite crisis …… shit!

SENSELESS..... EVERYBODY HAVE IS BOUNDARY. UR KING IS THE OLU OF ITSEKIRI NOT WARRI PERIOD. STOP CLAIMING LAND BECOS U LEAVE AT THE BANK OF THE RIVER

joetons:
As much as you mentioned some facts in you
Story, you missed up most facts particularly on warri south west local govt. the original headquarter was Ogidigben,this you can still confirm from federal govt. gazette. It was never changed at the federal level. It was col. Dungs d military administrator that changed it. This was corrected which led to war. It was ibori who reversed it please the I jaw to create peace as they had so much weapons of war. Please take note if this.
Two: it was a lie that AG changed the title. It has always been before the interregnum when there was no king for a period of time. It was when a king was to be restored with the title that the urhobo kicked against it because the then warri province was a big territory covering major areas of the urhobo land much more than what it is today.
Three: A title is never named after a tribe but a kingdom. You don't have oba of Yoruba, oba of edo , obi of ibo or Olu of Itsekiri. It is always after a kingdom, oba of Benin or Lagos, ONI of ife, emir of Kano not not Hausa so also you have Olu of warri not itsekiri. Am sure this will help your understanding.
Four: please mention a title you know that is named after the tribe if the people

is those who dont know the Itsekiri people will say nonsense, they are trying to impose olu of sapele in sapele bcus there is no king in sapele,there are still trying to impose olu of oghara kingdom all bcus ibori took them as brothers and gave them land, maybe in 10yrs time, we will be hearing itsekiri owns oghara kingdom. u can't work in a company in an itsekiri land without changing ur name to an itsekiri name

ALKARULEZZ:
WARRI minus URHOBO COMMUNITIES equals SWAMPS/FORESTS

DELTA minus URHOBO TOWNS equals one of those less developed states lyk Ekiti, Ondo etc

Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun - Urhobo Land
Delta State University, Abraka - Urhobo Land
Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun - Urhobo Land
Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara - Urhobo Land
Western Delta University, Oghara - Urhobo Land
Golden Tulip - Effurun - Urhobo Land

The list is endless abeg

Long Live Urhobo Kingdom

You are Ijaw? Like seriously? So how come u hate GEJ with passion?

Op, nor let Area!!! Catch u o!
On a serious note, you very WRONG that Warri is a 'no man's land'!!! Warri, historically, belong to the Itsekiris. Where do you think names like Giwa-Amu, Giniwa, Pesu and the likes came from? The Itsekiris lost a greater part of their lands due to inter-ethnic conflicts with the Ijaws and Urhobos. When I was in secondary school, we took 'Itsekiri' as our local language!!! Today, you won't find that! And am talking of Warri-South Local Government Area which the Urhobos are claiming ownership of. This led to to many tribal wars in 1992, 1993, 1996, 1999 and 2000. Any one who witnessed the crises will definitely know what I mean.

D ijaws ar water based peeps, dey ar mainly offshores. While d itsekirs nd urhobos occupies d landed area of warri, if u remove d lands occupied by d urhobos (uvwie, okere-urhobo, agbasa) d warri we ar talkin abat is lik primary sch compound!

my dear u know nothing at all, if u don't have anything to say stfu......

@rapmoney leave those ppl with their blind facts, I'm a born urhobo my mum is itsekiri and she's from the royal linage. My father who has had the history of warri in his hands have already made these facts clear to us his children. The itsekiris own warri, the ijaws were fishermen, they paid rents nd other levies when they occupied those lands where they have collected by force. They cry that they are being oppressed nd they are the ones with the big guns. The urhobos age far from being owners of warri true urhobos know where they come from the ones claiming warri are just doing it out of greed. Long live warri, long live iwere Kingdom.

eterisan:
The fact that the title Olu of warri is a disputed one tells the whole story i dont need to say much. blik u de forget say iwere children get boundary for warri de fit dance awankere pass okere market? abi u de forget say ovie of okere urhobo kingdom dey? As the op rightly puts it the itsekiri's were the first to have contact with white men in warri and also had the support of awolowo thus they used sense for the other two tribes! this is why it seems they have the edge politically.
