tammie24:This is a calculated statement owing to the fact that all the tribes in Warri Axis are migrants. I am also avoiding stating or implying that Warri belongs to any ethnic group. That part is left for you, the reader, to answer. |

Warri is owned by the Itsekiri, not the Urhobo nor the Ijaw, though the Ijaw and the Itsekiri share Warri South West LGA, Delta State. 2 Likes |

eterisan:Itsekiri owns Warri, Urhobo owns Effurun. From, say, Ogbe Ijow down to Enerhen Junction is part of Warri. From there, Urhobo College are parts of Effurun. An Urhobo man here will never permit you to erect a signboard that carries the name, Warri. I've never seen an Urhobo man say they own Warri. |

- When the colonial NCNC and the Action Group party was formed, the Itsekiris embraced the AG while the Urhobos embraced NCNC. Awolowo punished the Urhobos for this by placing the Itsekiri monarch above all the Urhobo monarchs. Awo also changed the traditional title of the Olu of Itsekiri to the Olu of Warri and moved their traditional island of Ode-Itsekiri to mainland Warri. This led to a series of protests by the Urhobos and Ijaws. This period also marked the beginning of Urhobo nationalism led by the great Mukoro Mowoe, M.G. Ejaife and others. However, the change was already gazetted and little could be done about it. Another bad blood was spilt.Small small oh! 1 Like 1 Share |

onuwaje:. Actually, historically he's right. It used to be Olu of Itsekhiri. Awolowo changed it to Olu of Warri. The Urhobos in particular protested. It was only settled when Urhobo suggestion was adopted. That is to change Warri Province to Delta Province in Western Region. Still, non-Itsekhiris consider the title a mere titular one. The title Ogiame is historically more important. That was the title Oba Olua of Benin (his father) gave Prince Ginuwa when he left Benin. Ogiame = Lord/Ruler of the seas. To designate the costal area he was to rule over. Maybe you're aware how Itsekhiri royals and chiefs like Rita Lori Ogbebor strongly opposed the Olu's desire to remove "Ogiame" from his title just about two years ago. I consider the Olu as my kin as we're from the same lineage. So, I'm just trying not to be biased towards any side but say how we learnt it in recent history. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

This thread is an educative one. The itsekiris are known land grabbers nd its a fact that is well documented. The present day ajaminogha nd esisi were given to the itsekiris by okumagba to settle nd farm on when they migrated to the area. After many years of farming in the land the itsekiris claimed ownership of the land through the help of the british govt. The urhobos own 90% of warri south. 1 Like 1 Share |
