Itsekiri, Ijaw In Edo Oppose Alleged Hegemony Of Benin Kingdom by Ctorch: 8:46am On Oct 14, 2020
No fewer than 1 , 000 residents of Itsekiri communities in Ologbo , Ikpoba- Okha Council Area of Edo State, yesterday , embarked on a peaceful protest , vowing to resist any attempt to subject them to the hegemony of Benin Kingdom .
Ologbo , which is a boundary town between Edo and neigbouring Delta State, had been engulfed in crisis over the ownership of the town , causing unrest between the Bini , Itsekiri and Ijaw in the coastal communities .
The residents comprising youths , men and women , said Ologbo remained an Edo community, adding that the fallacy of the Bini residing in Ologbo and the tussle over the ownership of the community and other Itsekiri and Ijaw settlements was a threat to their peace and tranquility .



Spokesman of the Itsekiri and Ijaw communities of Ologbo , Ikara , Kolokolo, Ajoki, Ajatiton , Ajamogha and Abiala , Greg Luma , said the attempt to take over the heritage bequeathed to them by their fathers would be resisted by the Itsekiri and Ijaw indigenes .
THE Academic Staff Union of Universities ( ASUU ) , Ambrose Alli University (AAU ) branch , yesterday , felicitated with Obaseki over his victory at the polls and his commitment to ensure excellence in the state ’ s education sector .
In a statement issued in Benin City , Chairman and Secretary of ASUU at the university, Monday Igbafen and Aizebioje Coker said Obaseki ’ s re - election affirmed his popularity and acceptance by the Edo people.
ASUU applauded Obaseki ’ s achievements in the education sector , noting , “ As a Union , we are not unaware that the governor appreciates the fact that education is critical to the transformation and development of any society . ”
MEANWHILE , the seven - man Special Visitation Panel set up by Obaseki to look into the affairs of the institution , has commenced work, with a call for memoranda .
The panel, chaired by Prof . I . K. Omoruyi , was inaugurated on Friday, October 9 , 2020 with a charge to submit its report to the state government within six weeks .
Secretary of the committee , Mrs. P. E . Aziegbemhin , called for memoranda from groups and individuals , urging the management , staff members, students , stakeholders of the university, and members of the general public , to submit their memoranda to its secretariat .

Why are benin trying to impose Obaship rule of yorubas on them...
The Oba should know his territory as conquered for him by his forebearers


You can't impose your rulership to where such never existed.

At least you are now old enough to know how truth it is.
The case has lingered for long. Have even seen video of fight in Facebook.
But on second thought, the name of the community no look like Bini name.

Which republic?

Instituted by who?

Lost lugard I guess.

Nigeria is just an artificial creation. What ethnic groups in Nigeria are different nations world wide.

ENDSARS-Endswat- End any ending.


The best solution is End Nigeria and let everyone go and look for their home grown solutions in tackling their issues.

Go and occupy and demand for that . whether new Nigeria or old Nigeria.. nothing come out...waste of time


The best Solution End Nigeria and let everyone go their separate ways and at same time deeply look on how to develop their respective new countries...Let new nations arise and address their issues in a way suitable for them.

Esan,igbo akiri known as igbanke are all igbos who fell to return south ward during the war of igala and benin
Oba of Benin empire is a conquered territory and esan ,igbo akiri etc wasn’t conquered
Therefore his reign should start and end there

Don't mind what people are saying on this page, it is all nonesense.
The Itsikiri are Edo people, so are the "Bini", they are all subjects of the Oba of Benin.
The fact is that Edo people have much more in common than Igbo peoples have in common or that Yoruba peoples have in common.
Before colonisation the Edo people were citizens of the same country under the same king, the Oba of Benin.

This page has a lot of mentally ill people in it.
One claiming the Oba is Yoruba, an other claiming Esan and Igbsnke are Igbo ...
What are you guys smoking ?

When 2 brothers are having a dispute, outside pigs will try to take advantage.

People are talking about ethnic independence and you are yarning about one stupid non existent country

What kind of dispute that someone is rejecting from lording over them.

Oba of Bini is a Yoruboid kingship.

I am not here to troll. I only wanted to correct your lies or your wishful thinking in order to avoid confusing unsuspecting readers.
So to all readers whom are more inclined to learning rather than trashing or being abused:
The Oba of Benin is not "yoruboid" eventhough making this claim appeals to Biafran radicals and Yoruba supremacists alike.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zK2bsZhPIo

This video already says it all concerning the relationship between the Itsikiri and the Oba of Benin.
As you can see the Oba of Benin is the father of the Olu of Warri. Just like he is the father of many other kings including the king of Lagos.

neither am I trolling but fact must be fact.

Moreover it is insulting to say such claim appeals to biafran radicals and yoruba supremacist.

You are not a biafran and have no right to such term. it doesn't appeal to any biafran because we gain nothing from it...you are an oduduwa man Mr.

the old kingship is no longer there but as far as this current kingship setting is there, it is a yoruboid kingship.

nobody even argues that anyway.
