Some time when pepeople speak u just get their hate mode from their tune, you recognise the ijaws as dwellers in your state as what? Strangers, if delta state was cut among beni obaseki would have called all urhobos and itsekiris as beni, the oba of beni is for beni people why will he extend his rule to other tribes, it is clear that obaseki is enviouse of the ijaws, if he knows the ancestra history of the ijaws he would have stay calm, any where the jaw occupied crude oil also occupied, the only local government that producess oil in edo is occupied by ijaw. check the record, in ondo, edo, bayelsa, rivers akwa ibom just check, it shows tha it is becaouse of the ijaw that we enjoy these blessings harming them is to harm your blessings, if ijaws leave nigeria today oil will dry off, it is thier glory everyone lives on

Afriifa:
are you starting what you can't finish?

Nnamdiojukwu:
just mention a state in the north where Yoruba's cab be found as indigenes?

GrandFinale2017:
I'm from the Ijaw parts of Akwa ibom state and i support the ijaws on this. We will never stand and watch how our brothers are marginalized there in their ancestral land.
Obaseki and the caged Oba should back off.

Afriifa:
my bro. stop asking silly questions, sorry to say. it is an act of ignorance not to know one's history in this era.

Nnamdiojukwu:

Afriifa:
he said the Northern part of Ondo state, not the Northern part of Nigeria.

mychiveous:
You can't wake up one morning and then decide to crown a king out of thin air it's not done anywhere. The urhobo community in ovia north east should also crown their own king since they've been there dating back to 5 generation.

Nnamdiojukwu:
No,go check again.

Xisnin:



Mr Joker, I bet your village also deserves to be a country.
So much comic.

Mrchippychappy:


Kwara, Kogi and Niger state has yo-ro-ba people there, they have every right to those lands as much as the northerners.

Nnamdiojukwu:
No,go check again.

Nnamdiojukwu:
You finally spoiled your comments with the last statement,can you mention one or two projects northners worked against?

Apart from the criminals/bokoharam moving with cattle, how many militants group do you know in the north?
Ijaw are pirates, we are not.
Ijaw are oil thief's we are not.
Ijaw are kidnappers we are not.
Ijaw hate good things we are not.
Next time check your facts before mentioning a geopolitical zone.

Nnamdiojukwu:
I live in Niger state,what rights are you referring to here please?




Don't say that to the hearing of a Nupe man or woman,?




Yorubas in Niger state are settlers, all of them have their state of origin ok

airsaylongcon:


Please provide more insight into this Urhobo community. What Urhobo Delta Community are they closely related to?

phreakabit:



Fulani herdsmen are listed as an international terrorist group, Ijaws are not.
Aboki constitute 99% of Boko haram (Yor0bas making just 1%). . . . Ijaws don't.
Boko haram are listed as a terrorist group. . . Ijaws are not.
Boko haram kidnap and rape children and women.
Boko haram and MOST Abokis are pedophiles . . . Ijaws largely aren't.
Western education, is a good thing. . . . Boko Haram and Northerners hate it. . . Ijaws go to school happily.

deekseen:
I don't understand what Obaseki is trying to insinuate.

In other places the Yorubas will hhave their Baale, the Hausas will have their Seriki and the Igbos will have their Eze Ndigbo (or whatever the title is) in the same community and no one will say anything.

Now, the Ijaws crowned theirs to protect their interests and it's a problem?

The "Majority" are gods and the "Minority", footstools?

Obaseki, do your worst!

Mrchippychappy:


Yorubas are not settlers in Niger state, they have every right to run as every other man or woman in Niger state. This talk of settlers doesn't work in one Nigeria. If the yorubas put their act together they can push for the governor's seat. They are a major tribe in Niger state.

PapaBrowne:


Nobody is interested in oppressing any law abiding Ijaws in Edo State. But any criminals coming from far away Ijaw land to derail the seaport project would be dealt with severely.

Why would a people be so backward. It's just terrible. If anything good wants to be built, Ijaws would just want to disrupt it. That's how the Oil and Gas free zone which was to be built in Escravos was derailed because of the stupid argument that Ijaws chose to have with itsekiri. Now Jonathan left and the project that would have created thousands upon thousands of jobs has been abandoned.
The Brass LNG project also has been abandoned. Not a single project in anywhere Ijaws exist. Bayelsa with all its allocation is probably the worst state in the South. It appears like the Ijaws are the Northerners of Southern Nigeria.

Afriifa:
I am no much fan of History, but I learnt from historical facts that the Ijaws settled in the present day Edo State before any other tribe and was ousted out later by one of the historical tribe that made up the present yoruba with a quest to enlarge their empire.. after a failed attempt at first. the Ijaws were forced out, that's why you find the ijaws in Delta. rivers and bayelsa and e.t.c (still within the Niger Delta) becux they were scattered due to the war.. and I think the Ijaws in present day Edo state were the few lucky ones not to be affected by the war or were the ones that later came back to settle after the war.. because. I know for a fact what Gelegele means in my native dialects, even my kiddo that grew up North knows the meaning of that word.. if it weren't for bad politics rocking the Nigerian atmosphere. The Ijaws would have been revered as one of the outstanding tribes to maintain their ancient culture and tradition till dates.. an average Ijaw man has to fight everyday to protect what it has because mother nature has installed him with all the enviable qualities other tribes would kill for....

I debunk your assertion that Ijaws spread in Niger delta area because of war against them in Edo state during precolonial era, the fact is ijaws means of living is where ever there's rivers, they'll settled around the terrain due to their source of income is via water - such as fishing and making of salt etc. such group of people Can't settle in one place permanently except few amongst them who were farmers that settled permanently and that's the reason why Ijaws were minorities in different states and such status doesn't peculiar to them in Nigeria as Ilajes in Ondo and Eguns in Ogun State and Lagos respectively backed it that most of such similar ethnic groups lost majority status various state they settled because of their nature of work.
