"I am Bash Ali, I'm boxing to shock the world"

Cantonese:


Warri is definitely not an Ijaw name. It was the colonial masters who called the name Warri go make it easy for pronounciation. The Itsekiris called it Iwerre, among others. So far I have not found the Ijaw or Urhobo names. I am not holding brief for the Itsekiris.

You may please research and clear it.

Thanks.

How can the colonial masters mistake Iwerre for Warri? The name Warri stem from the Ijaws word Wari, which means house or residence. The Itshekiri's are sojourners, you can't claim because they were more educated than the aborigines they met in the town then that makes them automatic owners of the land. The first Olu of itshekiri migrated from Igbesen in Edo state to the town called warri, so what happened to the inhabitants he met? I don't need to research this issue, because I'm both Ijaw and Itshekiri by blood. I've read books and listened to the elders. So this matter has been laid to rest a long time ago and we don't need to resurrect it to cause another communal war. Have you been to Warri lately? The town has not yet recovered from the previous Ijaw/itshekiri crisis and that's the reason there's no proper development in the former oil city.

DOptical:


Will you keep quiet? We're talking about facts here which no criminal fools like yourselves can change because everything is already documented. Everyone know their boundaries as I said.

I know you're a child, so I won't waste my energy bantering with you. Continue in your foolishness and delusion.

DOptical:


Who gave him boundary? Last time, Ijaw and Urhobo were sacked from Warri by the supreme court. High time the laws is enacted and Warri state is created to checkmate criminal fools like yourselves.

Your ignorance is stinking and your foolishness knows no bounds. Stop quoting me, if you truly don't have anything to say fool. Mind you, I'm from the two ethnic group been discussed, on this matter I can say I know more than you.

DOptical:


Dey play except you dey craze. It's Iwere mentioned in Ifa, even as seen in the old map.

As I said, everyone knows their boundaries. Warri is Itsekiri land.

See how stupid you sound. If Warri is Itshekiri land, why does your Olu been given boundary adjustment by Agbassa and Okere Urhobo kingdom? Even the land the olu palace is built on, belongs to the Okumagba family. It seems the people advising Tsola, are spoiling for war. They forgot what happened the last time they dared the Ijaws

[quote author=Cantonese post=129648322]Hmm.

What is the claim of the Ijaws and Urhobos over Warri, seeing that Warri as a name originated from the Itsekiris?

Having settled for Ogbe Ijoh as the local government headquarters of Warri South West by the Obasanjo government, how are the Ijaws laying claim to Ode Itsekiri as their ancestral land too.

The Ijaws inhabit the south and east of that area, do they also own the land to the Atlantic, where the Ijaws have owned and interacted with white slave traders since the 17th century?

Can someone clarify here please?

Just to clarify, the name Warri is not itshekiri but an ijaw name. Which means house or residence. Moreover the Itshekiri's are sojourners from Igbesen in present day Edo state and only migrated to Warri.

Coconut 🥥 and bread 🍞

Almost all the government owned hospitals in Lagos is guilty of this, not just only LASUTH.

Something is brewing up North.

Lie kill you there.

Game has been played. There's a replay for the two english fa cup match today, since the first leg ended in a draw

Super eagles 🦅 my foot. Lacklustre and mediocre football they keep playing. Osimhen one on one with goalkeeper after a very lovely through ball, wasted the goalscoring opportunity.

Happy birthday little princess 💐

Them done come again? Same way Buhari has only 150 cows and 2 houses. Make Una dey play

So far you're still a shareholder in the company, you're still culpable of the crime you're been accused of man.

When we were telling you people that when Buhari's tenure is over, the monumental looting that will be uncovered will dwarf both Dasuki and Diezani loot put together. You guys thought we were joking.

Aboki and strange highness are like Siamese twins.

Make Una dey there they sing happy birthday, while Edison done declare Una seat vacant. In Asari's voice "think say you dey wise"

*Every Nigeria City Should Learn Something From The Collapse Of Warri.*

War destroys cities:
Every Nigeria City or aspiring city should learn something from the Collapse of Warri as Oil City.

Warri was a big industrial hub in the 70's - 90's.

Warri Refinery, NNPC, DSC, Delta Glass, Shell, Chevron, Schlumberger, Dunlop, Agip, Saipem, Halliburton were in full operation back then. Escravos & Forcados were at their peak.

The city thrived. The city was full of zeal and zestful activities. People living outside hardcore Warri called themselves Wafarians because of propinquity to Warri even though they were not Wafarians. To be a Wafarian was to belong to supposedly a unique lifestyle.

Multinational/Local Banks were present Citibank, FBN, ACB, Savannah Bank.

Business activities thrived. Warri port was a beehive of economic activities

Entertainment/Night life was at its peak, Musicians, Live bands at Palmgroove Hotel, Comedians held their sway: Fela, legendary Don Baker, Majek Fashek, Emma Grey, Oritz Wiliki, Rex Lawson were a few of many of the entertainers that made Warri ebullient. Lido, Zina, etc were comparable to their ilks anywhere.

The town was full of life and it thrived.

McDermot road was busy with Maritime activities and contractors. Kingsway Mall offered anything sold in Lagos at that time.

Joma & Mosheshe were big fish distributors across the Niger Delta.

Rubber produced locally, was used to produce plastics and tyres.

The town grew in size and became a conurbation with people coming from all over the country to settle down in Warri for economic activities.

The Airports were super busy, Escravos, Forcados & Warri Airport. The Warri Airport was even relocated to Osubi for expansion.

Warri was revelling in its glory. Warri Port was fully operational and served as an economic booster for the city. It served businesses in Warri, Benin, Asaba & Onitsha. The Port created huge employment opportunities for locals and the state.

Things started to go downhill from the late 90's. The community leaders and youth chairmen began to fight themselves over control/sharing formula for royalties that came from oil & businesses from settlers.

Itsekiri, Urhobo & Ijaw leaders & youths started fighting each other. The bloody fight started around 1999 and lasted for years till 2003/2004.

The community leaders started imposing local taxes called "Deve" on all companies, industries and local businesses, buildings & projects.

Little by little, the companies frustrated, started leaving.

This continued throughout the early 2000's till 2010. The companies kept on leaving, one after the other. The companies layed off their employees. Unemployment rose.

More companies left for PH, Lagos, Akwa Ibom. They layed off more staff. Unemployment increased still.

Today all that is left in Warri, is a shadow of its glorious past.

95% of all the big companies in Warri had either left or closed down.

Most of the young people have left Warri.

The ones left are driving Keke, doing P.O.S, Spa or Boutique, Beer parlour or doing hookup.

There's peace now, but the damage the greedy community leaders did to Warri, still lingers on and is almost irredeemable at this point.

Do not assume that your city can not be destroyed if it toes the same route Warri followed. Warri leaders did not ever believe that Warri will be this economically empty today while they were fighting then. Learn from Warri and protect our economies

Have you asked why big eeconomies like US, China,etc will never allow war in their countries?

We must learn and avoid things that will trigger war in our country no matter how strong we believe we are. Businesses and investors go where there is peace than where there is war.

Lagos State is presently exhibiting such atrocious high handedness in ways she is handling issues of defaults in physical planning policies, and should take a lesson from Warri. One should not be the regulator, enforcer and executioner all at once. High handedness only justifies the tag of an emperor or dictator.

In saner climes, persons who even built without approvals may be given options to regularise such developments. A government that gleefully destroys the wealth of her citizens, also poverishes herself.

Loved the write up, you're indeed a wafarian but the communal clashes started in 1995 and not 1999. Nice one

It's very lucrative, so far you're good in it. The singer TY BELLO is one and she's making good money.
