I detest it so much when I see some Igbo people commenting on these sort of threads. Y'all should stop making some peeps feel more important than they really are. Ikenwoli is not, and can never be an Igbo name biko!

Even if he have an Urhobo or Yoruba Mother He won't ascent The Throne except He av Bini mother .. Na Come Igbo that Side.. people we nor get connection with. na wa

The Prince is purely Itsekiri, Mom and Dad,

I only asked a question if he had an Igbo mother because his name, Ikenwoli, doesn't seem to be a common Itsekiri name but sounds like an Igbo name. You need not get all that defensive. Moreover, you failed to answer my question. Is Ikenwoli an Itsekiri name? What does it mean in Itsekiri?

One Itsekiri, one God, One Language and one King. May your reign in Warri be Peaceful. Amen

What does Ale je efun mean in Itsekiri? It sounds similar to Eze je ofuma (King go well 'to the lands beyond') in Igbo.

PS: I am not claiming anybody. I am only pointing out what seems to be striking similarities.

Rendering an interpretation of Ikenwoli in Igbo is 'strength of an only child' where ike means 'strength, 'nwa' means child and 'oli' means 'one'.

EDAIKEN n'Uselu of Benin Kingdom must be Igbo. Funny people.

Nice one.. I'm sure this was base on merit.. But my fellow ife kinsmen are still consulting Oracle to select the next Ooni.. I'm sure they are waiting for more "alert"

awe! see how everybody is bashing you! Bringing ife down for no reason is not the best..... Am disappointed in your comment! Ife is bigger than any of us, you just sit there and agreed things would be hurriedly done. Assuming that the kingmakers are taking bribe of some sort when you are not there is another bad one from you, home boy. Everyone has his or her own culture, warri ways of choosing king is different from that of ife(which is purely hereditary, very easy like that of ibadan). Mind you, there is always tendency that the oracle were consulted in Warri's case. Consultation must have been done widely aswell, “The Olu designate is very sound, intellectually inclined and culturally exposed". You don't expect afobaje to put just anybody on the throne. IFE A GBE WA OOO....
