.Go and read your history again

Who were the ijekkri and where did they come from

Google is your friend

According to Jackson Omasanjuwa Ireyefoju and Florence Ejuogharanmakelesan Ireyefoju in their seminal work "Ife Oracle in Itsekiri Social System of Nigeria," Itsekiri people came from Egypt after the battle of Actium in 31 B.C. The Mahim arrived and settled in the present Warri Kingdom in about 28 B.C in Gborodo, Ureju and Ode Itsekiri.

The leaders of the teams were Iset, Iweret and Ipi. This part of Itsekiri history is one that cannot be kicked aside as there are more similarity in Itsekiri language and custom with those of the ancient Egyptians than any other civilization in the world.

Nonsense

So they left Egypt and came all the way to forest of Nigeria?

Go and read their true history not a theory based on assumptions.

Hmmm. This goes further to prove that Lagos is indeed a nomansland.

If there's river in your city expect the exodus of ijaws

If Oduduwa fell from the sky, why can't ishekiris come from Egypt?

ijaws also inhabit some areas in ondo state e.g Ese odo LGA. Even the deputy governor of ondo state is ijaw.

Very True. the man is from Ese-Do

Sunshineg5:
Ese Odo local government area is not beside the ocean but actually beside the Benin river

Ilaje local government area are beside the ocean

Hence, the ilajes are the oil producers in Ondo state

Oga your pictorial presentation is holds no fact.

WeneDiali:


Any part of the SW that has contact with the atlantic is owned by the Ijaws and Eguns. You are simply using political dominations to take their land and they'll collect it back in the fullness of time.

Interesting. Where are you from Bro?

Sunshineg5:
Epe is owned by Ijaws and Egun

Ibeju is owned by Ijaws and Eguns

Even Lekki peninsula is owned by ijaw and Egun

It just so happen that all this areas have Yoruba kings and not a single ijaw or Egun king

In addition, ijebu water side in Ogun state and Ilaje local government area in Ondo is being owned by Ijaws and Eguns

You seemd to know a whole lot.

Sunshineg5:
You see why university education is important

Apoi and Arogbo ijaw are the only ijaw group in Ese odo local government area of Ondo

Sarowe is Arogbo ijaw.

Wow. I'm amazed. Teach me more bro.

sageb:
did i say anything with regards to ilaje. I only inform you that there are ijaws who are indigenes in ondo state. worthy of mention is kingsley kuku, omoyele sowore and the deputy governor of ondo state.

Very True.

Odingo1:


Go and read your history, stop taken yoruba propaganda hook and sink.

Ijaw people are the first people to occupy the river-line area of Lagos followed by Egun people from Togo/Benin Repulic and finally Ilajes and Aworis. Yorubas migrated in droves to lagos after the British conquest of Eko in which they defeated the Bini Kidgdom and renamed it Lagos(the name lagos mean dustbin in portugese language from where they derived the name) and allow the migrant Yorubas to have upper hand because the British want to weaken the indigenous people from resisting British rule in lagos.

There no indiginous yoruba person in Lagos. All of them migrated from hinterland to lagos. Tinubi is from Osun. Ambode is from Ogun. Fashola is from Ibadan. Sanwo Olu is from Ondo. All yorubas in lagos are migrant and they know that.

Na Wao

Sammy07:


Stop smoking weed bro

It is not weed bro. I just confirmed his statement. the Deputy Governor is Ijaw.

Sammy07:


Stop smoking weed bro.

Ijaws are not indegines but settlers and migrants

on what basis are you making these statements as a knowledgeable person?

Sammy07:

Stop listening to radio biafra and stop smoking weed.
Tinubu is from Osun Ambode is from Ilaje in Ondo Sanwoolu is From Lagos.
Ijaws in Ondo state are Settlers not indigenes.
Theyve been Yorubanized

Go and Adk Kingsley Kuku and Prince Idolor.

Sammy07:


I came to the thread late though.

Ijaws are found in Ese Odo and some part of Ilaje.
They've been Yorubanized self.

The Deputy governor of Ondo is from Ese Odo LG not Ilaje. And he's Yoruba.

Look how desperate you sound. they are yorubanized? lol. bro how can you yorubanize another tribe like the Ijaws? do you mean Ijaws bearing Igboic names in Rivers State have been Igbonized?

Check what I wrote.

Sammy07:



You don't know my state more than myself.
Deputy Governor of Ondo state is Hon (Barr) Ajayi Agboola Alfred. He married an Ondo girl. He's from Kiribo in Ese Odo local government.


Western Apoi tribe of the Ijaw people live in Ondo State, Nigeria. The tribe (also called Ijaw Apoi or Apoi) consists of nine settlements: Igbobini, Ojuala, Ikpoke, Inikorogha, Oboro, Shabomi, Igbotu, Kiribo and Gbekebo. The Apoi inhabited higher ground than most of the other Ijaw tribes. They speak the Yoruba language as they no longer speak the Ijaw language . They are bordered to the north by the Ikale and to the west by the Ilaje. The clan also shares border with the Arogbo Ijaw to the south and the Furupagha Ijaw to the east across the Siloko River.


What's your next statement
I told you earlier that they have been Yorubanized.
Go and speak Ijaw to him if he'll understand

Sammy07:


Guy, all Ijaws towns in Ese Odo and Ilaje communities in Ondo state are surrounded by Yoruba towns.

Most of them have been Yorubanized, they don't understand Ijaws language again and they bear Yoruba names.
Case of Ondo state deputy governor.

Tho some still speak Ijaws but they're little .

Pathetic Oga��. I just read your whole analysis. and it still ended on your desperate "Yorubanized" claims. oga, you failed to affirm the statement of fact that the deputy governor of Ondo state is an Ijaw Man. just rumbling with no direction rather than the usual "Yorubanized" claim. how pathetic���

Afriifa:
Look how desperate you sound. they are yorubanized? lol. bro how can you yorubanize another tribe like the Ijaws? do you mean Ijaws bearing Igboic names in Rivers State have been Igbonized?

So you don't know what Yorubanized, Igbonized, Fulanized mean

If you don't, then don't quote me again

WeneDiali:


I be rivers man. Ala-Ahoada to be precise. Where are you from?

I'm from Delta state. Ogbein-Ama of Bomadi LGA. It's so fascinating that I have learnt a lot from you and other factual persons in this thread. the Deputy Governor of Ondo State is from Kiriobo and the word "Kiribo" in my native Ijaw term means Farm. Also, from few research, I can affirm the assertions to be true.

Sammy07:


So you don't know what Yorubanized, Igbonized, Fulanized mean

If you don't, then don't quote me again

Bro, no offence, but from my observations here, you're not sound enough to engage me on any meaningful argument or discussion. So, I'll advice you to excuse yourself from this thread if you have nothing factual as counter-statements rather that your pathetic deperate *Yorubanized* line..
thank You.

if you have better term to acknowledge the Ijaws in Ese-Ode, Arogbo e.t.c other than your seemingly desperate "Yorubanized" term, I could answer the questions.

They are speaking Yoruba
Tho some of them speaks both Yoruba and ijaw

Their names are Yoruba names, some of them still have Ijaws names.

Their dressing and culture are now Yoruba tho some of them retain their cultures.

What else could they be if not Yorubanized Ijaws?

They're not even closer to water as Ilajes, they're found mostly in Ese Odo local government.

How can a knowledgeable person ask such questions?
I have heard so many Ijaw songs from a Prominent Ijaw musician from Ondo state with the name Karinto. he has mentioned noteworthy ijaw personalities from Ese Odo and Places like Gbekedo and Arogbo.

WeneDiali:


Ijaw and Egun are the owners of every riverine areas in SW states that have contact with Atlantic.

yorubaland is landlocked.

Don't confuse Yoruba with South east I'm from ondo nd am Ilaje my parents used 2 go fishing in d ocean so I don't know where u got your theory of us being landlocked

Tunde835:

Every coastal area in the SW belongs to non-yorubas like Egun, Ijaw, Aworis. yorubas are landlocked. Study the map carefully.

Even Oba have said that lagos is not yorubaland.

You just shoot yourself
Cc: Sunshineg5

You're not from Ondo state at all.

1. It's spelt igbekebo not gbekedo.

2. It's one of the biggest town in Ese Odo local government

3. Their Oba is Yoruba and they speak Yoruba.

4. I've lived there b4

Yes, Arogbo is "Formerly an Ijaw town", in Ese Odo LG, they have been Yorubanized now. Cos they speak the language and have their names.

If you check above, I initially state that there are still some communities that are Pure Ijaws and don't speak Yoruba and they have Ijaws as their king.

I told you earlier that Ijaws are migrants / settlers in Ondo.

They cannot secced with their brothers in Niger delta cos they are surrounded by Yoruba towns and communities so they can't carved them out.

Okay?
Bye bye.

They're not even closer to water as Ilajes, they're found mostly in Ese Odo local government.

despite your rumblings and forcely classifying them as yorubas, the undeniable facts still remains that they are Ijaw and that can never change even with your yorubanized mission. about names and dressing, oga don't deceive yourself. if you're closer to the Ijaws, you would know that Ijaws are not tribalistic with name-given. even in Nigeria, we are the only tribe with most foreign names. They can give any name that pleases them, it has nothing to do with being converted or that. in Rivers, we have Ijaws bearing Igboic names. that does not mean dey av been igbonized. see there is one prominent man called Barister Ajuwa in Ondo state, He's seemingly bearing a Yoruba name, but he speaks Ijaw eloquently than most ijaws in Delta state. Karinto is an Ijaw High life Musician from Ondo state, I have heard so many of his songs, and I can tell you, nothing is missing as Ijaw in them. oh as for the names, I forgot, even my Surname 'Afrifa' is not an Ijaw name but a Ghanaian name. I'm bearing it in all my documents. does that make me a ghanian? about the dressings, ask Tacha who is Ijaw but dresses like Ibo. ooh too far, ask Aunty Bisola who bears Yoruba name but Ijaw.
