Biafra: Remove Itsekiri Land From Map To Avoid Civil War – Itsekiri Youths Warn by DONSMITH123(m): 12:06pm On Apr 03, 2017
The Itsekiri National Youth Congress, INYC, has called on the agitators for a sovereign state of Biafra to remove Itsekiri land from the map of the Biafra.

This was contained in a communiqué issued in Warri, Delta State by the President of the INYC, Esimaje Awani yesterday.

He warned that, “Itsekiri and its territories should not be included in any IPOB or Biafra plan.”

He stated that Itsekiri were an indigenous ethnic group of Nigeria’s Niger Delta region of Delta State presently resident in Warri South, Warri North and Warri South West Local Government Areas bordering the Atlantic Coast of Nigeria as their homeland with their only neighbours being the Bini to the North, the Ijaw to the South, the Urhobo to the East and the Yoruba of Ondo State to the Northwest.

According to Awani, from about 1490 – 1884, the Itsekiri had an independent political kingdom known as Warri Kingdom that was not subordinate to any of the World Powers in Europe or any African Kingdom.

He added that it was in 1894 when the Niger Coast Protectorate was established that it came under the protection of Her Britannic Majesty vide the Treaty of 1884.

He further explained that by another Treaty of 1894, the Itsekiri remained under the British until the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria was created and in 1914, without consultation with the Itsekiri people, Lord Lugard decreed Nigeria into existence and made Warri Kingdom (Itsekiri homeland) part of this enterprise.

Awani pointed out that by the map of the Republic of Biafra of May 1967, Edo and Delta states of Nigeria was never envisioned as a part of Biafra by the legendary Chukwuemeka Dim Ojukwu, saying that the current inclusion of present Delta State, including the Itsekiri National territories of Warri Kingdom without due consultation is preposterous, totally unacceptable and ultimately invalid.

His words,“IPOB and Biafra have their rights of agitation for freedom of self determination as enshrined in the United Nations declaration, but other minority ethnic groups not duly consulted and their approval secured should not be dragged along to avoid the mistake that led to the civil war.

“The magnanimity of Itsekiri in allowing Igbos celebrate the Igbo Cultural Day in our land should not be taken for granted as we urge IPOB to de-list Itsekiri territories and Warri areas from its proposed map.”

Who's this mumu? Where was this mumu when omo Oodua annexed Warri into their map? Oh Oh,he's not afraid of omo Oodua shey? That's why he said nothing or he lost his voice then? Stupid mofo. You've not reclaimed Warri back you're talking of civil war,what a fool. The Biafran commanders will just be inside their parlour and press delete and Itsekhiri is gone.

All these epistles and hopless topics springing up on daily basis on this forum just to demoralise Biafran agitators are dead on arrival. In fact, people even get more agitated to break away from this zoo wherever they see any topic concerning BIAFRA whether the topic is to commend or condemn BIAFRAN agitation. No man can stop what has been destined to happen though it can be delayed but can never be denied. The earlier it sinks inside some people's empty dry skulls that this zoo won't last for centuries the better. We have absolutely nothing in common to be united. Even if you think you are succeeding in stopping the agitation today, sorry for yourself because your children will continue to keep fighting from where you stopped to keep this zoo one and little children of BIAFRA today won't even be ready to shift ground on what their fathers believe hence no development for this zoo. Everybody should return to his father's house because forced marriage does not work. @Anti Biafran agitators, the earlier you receive brain or borrow the better.

This is exactly their way of behaving everywhere they go to. They declare the area thier territory.

Itsekiri that do not have a single legitimate claim to warri?

I trust my Ijaw bros to whip sense back into you afonja wannabes.

The only land itsekiris can claim as theirs is the since irradiated koko island which your chief of koko collected money from oyibos to dump toxic waste.

Very soon Ijaw nation will deport all of you itsekiri settlers back to your toxic koko island

Afonja creating confusion since 1900. grin
For crying out load, itsekiri was never part of Biafra.

Besides what Biafrans want is the right to rule themselves. Those that want to remain in Nigeria under Fulanu and Afonja domination are free to do so

Biafrans simply want out. No amount of misrepresentation and confusion creation by adding Cameroon to the map will deter or confuse the issue.
