I always love the Itsekiri Watch on this thread the Urhobos are claiming ownership, The ijaws also claiming ownership, all saying the Itsekiri are minority. This is where I always come to a conclusion that God has bessed the Itsekiris...minorities amongs numbers but they standout..are blessed, rich and favoured by God.

I don't know very much abt this oh (B4 pple stone me via internet) But I think the Itsekiris (45%), Urhobo (30%), Ijaws (20%), others (5%). Because many of my warri friends are Itsekiri and Urhobo!! MY OPINION!! |

literarymathy: If I am to add - based on what I have studied so far, Ijaw are an old people who are as old as the Niger delta lands, moving all around looking for suitable positions for farming and fishing nt necessarily for permanent settlement. Itsekiri came last but found no authority to the land from the ijaw off and on fishermen Urhobo seemed have already settled but Itsekiri placed a government and established a kingdom before the rest. They knew what they wanted from the beginning 4 Likes 2 Shares |

As much as you mentioned some facts in you Story, you missed up most facts particularly on warri south west local govt. the original headquarter was Ogidigben,this you can still confirm from federal govt. gazette. It was never changed at the federal level. It was col. Dungs d military administrator that changed it. This was corrected which led to war. It was ibori who reversed it please the I jaw to create peace as they had so much weapons of war. Please take note if this. Two: it was a lie that AG changed the title. It has always been before the interregnum when there was no king for a period of time. It was when a king was to be restored with the title that the urhobo kicked against it because the then warri province was a big territory covering major areas of the urhobo land much more than what it is today. Three: A title is never named after a tribe but a kingdom. You don't have oba of Yoruba, oba of edo , obi of ibo or Olu of Itsekiri. It is always after a kingdom, oba of Benin or Lagos, ONI of ife, emir of Kano not not Hausa so also you have Olu of warri not itsekiri. Am sure this will help your understanding. Four: please mention a title you know that is named after the tribe if the people 4 Likes 2 Shares |

There's no such thing as 3 warri Lga. Its a sham. Warri is only located in warri-south. Its lands are occupied by urhobos. The itsekiris are squating at the edges(swamps). lack of unity among d urhobos is itsekiris advantage over warri. The itsekiris are new comers in warri town. They migrated to warri town 4rm ode-itsekiri with d bloody europeans! 2 Likes 1 Share |

The Warri many foreigners known and occupied are the Urhobo land, and many people called uvwie local government Warri bcus it is the most developed local government in delta state, and also the Urhobo communities in Warri are the most developed in warri, CU's the urhobo ocuppy the majority of the dry land in Warri, if they show d communities of the ijaw and itsekiri in Warri, u will say that's not Warri, cus majority are riverine area and foreigners barely know those areas,and also the rentage of olu palace is true, i didn't believe it until the King of okere urhobo died, W 1 Like 2 Shares |

So what happened when he died? The Olu paid a homage or what? It's so painful when people came here to lie because they can put is and was together ? When did Okere urhobo install their king? Less than 10 or 12 year ago in the midst of the crises. Don't come here and miss inform people |

iconize: Even the fabricated Census figures doesn't agree with him. Delta Central, uhrobo's enclave have a population of 1,575,728 and that's 38.45% of Delta's 4,098,094, 2006 population census figures. Anioma's enclave Delta North has a population of 1,293,074 makes up 31.55% of Delta's population. Delta south the Itsekiri,Isoko and Ijaw's enclave has a population of 1,229,282 and that's 30% of Delta's population. Yet some one was here talking of how Delta is mostly about Urhobo. And some other persons saying that Delta is mainly Itsekiri, ijaw and Urhobo. Bunch of jokers! 1 Like 1 Share |
