This is not opinion but fact.....this is what Ogbia history shows...they are not Ijaws ...they migrated from benin

Every Ogbia man knows that....I have lived with Ijaw and Ogbia people for a very long time...I even married one

That Ijaws and Ogbia people live in the same geographical region does not mean they are the same

If every Ogbia man knows that then who are the Ogbia people I interact with everyday in Ijaw forums on facebook?

You won't understand what I mean and I don't want to explain. However, know that even parents and their children Do have issues!

Afam4eva:

Which Ajegunle? The one is Lagos? Do they have a village there?

They are quite much there and that gave them the believe they can march on the ground any how.

They marched anyhow and they equally saw anyhow.

Afriifa:

Are they not Itsekiris dwelling in Urhobo Land? You know we both lived together in the past as brothers and sisters.Most Urhobo communities accommodated Itsekiris in the past to dwell along their river banks.( Iwheghwu-Agbarho,Oghara-Agbarho ,Otokutu,etc)

Big lie..... There is no itsekiri in Otokutu. Oghara, Agharho, Oghara. The Itsekiri in Obrifo are Urhobo who also speak Itsekiri and some of the Itsekiri woman come there for marriage. Say what you know....

Datazone:

This daughter of a fisherman is here again. Politics in Delta (Nigeria at large) is divide and rule. The Ijaws, Itsekiri and Isoko in Delta South are into divide and rule - whilst Itsekiri has been the governor and claimed chairmanship in Warri LGA, the Ijaws were agreed to come in for house of rep. So, shut up, we are more than Delta Ijaws.


Here's an Urhobo website which corroborate the fact that Ijaws are inflating figures and Itsekiris are more than all tribes in Warri.


Excerpt .."Here are the official 1963 population census figures and the ethnic distribution pattern for Warri Division (now the 3 Warri Local Government areas.)

Ethnic group Population % of Total

I. Itsekiri 92,711 64%

II. Ijaw in 3 enclaves 20,702 14%

III. Urhobo of Agbassa 2,000 1.4%

IV. Urhobo of Idimi Sobo of Okere 480 0.3%

V Others – Urhobo, Edo, Hausa,Ibo 29,167 20%

Total 145,060 100%"
"
"
Why has he not excluded the huge figures for Egbeoma Ijaw (about 1/3 ) nullified by the Abuja Census Tribunal in 1991 in his computation of the Ijaw figures? Why has he overlooked all Government figures from 1975 to 1990? "

"And besides the fact that the 10 years restriction imposed on ward creation bars any tampering with these wards created in 1997, there is no rational or logical basis for Ijaw claim to be regarded as a majority group in Warri South West Local Government Area, a part of Itsekiri homeland."

Read the full story from the website of a 3rd party (Urhobo) so you won't say they are the machinations of Itsekiri

You are not serious. Where in warri south is Itsekiri more populated that the Urhobo... Any body can create a website and blog and start writing rubbish. That is not an Urhobo website, it was created by you Itsekiri to support your claim.......
Say what you know to the general public....
Best Regard!

Oga, waado is an official website of the Urhobos. Use Google to know more about it. However, Itsekiris are more than Urhobos in Warri South. Don't count Uvwie and UDU communities as part of Warri South. The Urhobos in Warri South are mainly Okere and Agbassa.

Did I argue with you on this base? the Urhobos accommodated the Itsekiris so its reciprocal..

Read my comment very well.I said in the past.....There used to be Itsekiris dwellers in the aforementioned Urhobo communities I mentioned.Go do your findings. Go to Oghara-Agbarho,you will see the evidence of the co-existence we have with our Itsekiris neighbours.Chief Omene Sobotie,one time commissioner in Delta State is from there.
Forget this subtle strife between us and the Itsekiris,our ancestors lived peacefully with them-Urhobos are very accommodating.

EternalTruth:
shut up that gutter mouth.
Edo State isn't a Niger Delta State. During restructuring Edo and Delta States would be geopolitically zoned back to the South West.
There are no longer part of us in S.S and N.D.
cc AdaFonju nengibo etc

what are u saying? the main Niger Delta States are Bayelsa and Delta, fed govt later include other oil producing states to the original Niger Delta States.

Like I said before on this thread

Ijaws are not homogeneous, there are some ijaws who speak edoid languages, some speak languages similar to ibibio
Yet they are all Ijaw, If there is enough in common among the people to pick up a common ethnic identity then so be it.

Even in the North, not everyone that answers Hausa is originally Hausa, small groups assimilate into more dominant Ethnic identities

cyrilamx:
Ijaws re mere Propaganda militants and never make the mistake of dignifying them with warrior-status. Kidnapping and vandalising pipeline is not synonymous with real combat. Don't come here and tell me they fought the Nigerian state and won...that is fallacy, if not for economic interest those smeagul like creatures can't even stand a day of military might. So go tell your fear story to kids not one whose lineage produce real warriors whose memory still related today. Militancy is not the synonym of war. The Edo nation beget several tribes in South south as far as OBA in Rivers state...before ijaws mount the keyboards like starved rodents again to type trash, let them wash their back....

bro, I'm not talking about militancy, I'm talking about the warri crisis that God used ibori to settle. my family and I were caught in the middle of it, my elder brother was kidnapped etc. If you had seen the weapons those ijaw boys were having then, u go know say crisis or war no be watin person they wish for. So many people close to us losed their lives and loved ones. The experience was really bad! I'm not talking out of fear but from experience, beside man no go fit carry family run again. We no want crisis. Just saying!

Datazone:

My tribe isn't known to be killers but rather the Ijaws. 500k is the estimated vote of Bayelsa State during the last election. So I said, let's assume only 10% came to vote and then, the total of Bayelsa will be 5 mil which is very untrue considering the small land mass coupled with the swampy environment in Bayelsa.

Ijaws are not only in Bayelsa. They are in over 5 states.

Ogogoro drinkers howfar

Dummy, do you know the Benin empire has existed for more than 2000yrs, the Oba lineage and throne has been well documented and preserved, stretching from the Ogiso dynasty, stop spreading ignorant news...bloody peasants fisherman settlers, I suspect you guys are not even Nigerians...you all need to be flushed out.
