I AGREE WITH YOU....THEY ARE JUST SETTLERS IN THOSE PLACES BUT THEY KNOW THEIR ORIGIN...THEY ARE STRANGERS IN THE LAND...THERES NO WAY THEY CAN BEGIN TO CLAIM ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE PLACE
If articles like this with false information are not debunked, in a few years time, yes people could start claiming they come from villages somewhere.

They simply don't exist at all. Maybe people that live there, but villages? Not at all. It's only Ijaw, and they snuck in with time. Urhobo and Isoko village, very funny. OP, pls lie with caution.

Read OP's post. He says Urhobo and Isoko's have villages in SW. That is what I am talking about. He even mentions Lagos. This is how false stories become a reality in future generations and we have strangers fighting for something that does not exist.

I am the op. There are no false stories here. You are not the first Yoruba on this thread. So don't act all defensive. Urhobos know their territories and Yorubas know theirs. Just the way Ugbodu is a Yoruba enclave in Aniocha, so also do Urhobos have enclaves in Ondo, Lagos and Kwara, however small and insignificant they may be. We never claimed to be original settlers or indigenes. We have farming settlements/villages there.

Don't bother quoting me again because I can see that you want to cause squabbles.

It's not about bigotry. Your article is filled with lies and you are being corrected. Stop trying to lie and twist facts for your political agenda. Nonsense. Before we know now, some morons will be carrying gun saying their father's village is in Lagos. Blowing up everywhere. Ijaw people are enough trouble.

The destination of the Urhobo migrants with whom this study is concerned was
determined by the abundance of oil palm resources. The Urhobo chose to travel
272 km, in stages, to reach Ikaleland rather than move to the urban areas of Warri
and Sapele within their territories or go to Benin City which was a few kilometres
away. This choice was determined by the fear of possible failure in the competition
for urban employment on one hand, and on the other by the availability of similar
rural life experiences and the expectation of survival and prosperity through their
known palm oil technology.
By 1931 the Ikale occupied an area of about 1,261 square km, and out of a
population of 60,902 in this territory, 25% were Urhobo. Apart from Ikale there
were Ilaje (also a Yoruba people) and Ijo indigenes in Okitipupa Division. Although
new economic activities have since attracted more people to the Division, with a
consequent population growth from 150,185 in 1952 to 275,709 in 1963, the Urhobo
migrant element in the Division, which had been coming in since the 19th century,
dwindled from 22.3% of the population in 1952 to 14.7% in 1963. This variation
in the figures has to do with the economic changes in the environment and the
achievement of migrant targets and the consequent re-migration or return home.
Besides the Yoruba majority of 74.4%0, there were 8.2% Ijo, 1% Igbo, and less
than 1% each of Bini, Isoko, Itsekiri, Hausa, Efik, Ibibio, and other small
elements. The Division was largely rural. By 1963, only 6.4%o of the population was
urban. In the absence of reliable figures one can hardly speak of any urban
population before the 1952 census

You got carried away with your praises of your people and then started telling massive lies to sweeten your post. No Urhobo or Isoko village exists in SW. You are completely delusional. Why don't you go to the so called villages and announce it is Urhobo let them turn you to ashes. That is how you people come online and tell so many lies that you start to believe it. It's either you don't know geography or something is wrong with you.

Urhobo migrants conceptualized their target in terms of going to 'Ukane' (a
corruption of Ikale) or 'going to the sea' (mi kpu rhie), indicating the route used.
Both concepts signified at the same time the migratory trip, the destination, the
socio-economic motivation, and the expectation to return after accomplishing
their targets. On reaching their destination, the migrants sought village-camp
tenancy positions from Ikale landlords through their kinsmen or friends with
whom there had been some communication. Six such village-camps were studied in
detail. Each comprised men, women, and children with a functional physical
layout designed for convenience. Each house was built typically after the Urhobo
fashion but without the dignity and the semblance of permanence. All the physical
structures, including the trough-factory (oko) and wells were kept within calling
distance. In this way, wives could go straight from the kitchen to serve meals in the
production centres, children be sent on quick errands from one place to another,
and possible outbreak of fire and other attacks faced quickly.
Each village consisted of an average of seven family/household units, with a
total of forty people often having kin relationship with one another. A household
was the smallest unit of social organization in a village. Each village was exclusive
to the Urhobo immigrants. Its government was gerontocratic and the head ensured
peace and cooperation through timely intervention in quarrels; without these, palm
oil production could hardly be successful. The interest of immigrants in maintenance of law and order was basically economic and tied to the achievement of individual target
