Its not the capital but it houses an annex of the state government house.

fratermathy:

Because Itsekiri is a Yoruboid language.

Efewestern:


Renowned Itsekiri historian, Pa. Johnson Oritsegbubemi Sunday Ayomike a.k.a, Pa. J.O.S. is dead.

The former Chairman of Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, ILO, the apex Itsekiri Social Cultural body, died in Warri, the Delta State capital, Wednesday night at a private hospital.

The deceased younger brother, Joe Ayomike, who confirmed the passage in a terse statement said, “The former leader of Itsekiri apex socio-cultural umbrella body, Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, is dead.”

“Pa J O S Ayomike passed on peacefully in a Warri private hospital at about 9pm today Wednesday 4th October, 2017. He was aged 90 on April 7th, 2017”.

Why is the name looking like a yoruba name?

exactly. You said my mind. I heard itsekiri has a dialect similar to Yoruba. Besides Delta state was a part of the defunct Mid-West Region so they might be partly yoruba excluding Anioma.

Itsekiri is purely Yoruboid except in the aspect of culture (where they are more Edoid).

Other parts of Delta (except Anioma), have closer affinity with Yoruba than any other majority ethnic group. Some Urhobo-Isoko clans specifically trace their origin to Ife.

However, we are not partly Yoruba as you put it. We just have a higher affinity with Yorubas due to precolonial contact, friendship, and perhaps, origins.

The Itsekiri is a Yoruboid group
They speak a dialect of the Yoruba language but their culture is highly influenced by the Benin folks and thay of their neighbors.


They re very close to the Ilaje people

Of course. Specifically in Itsekiri and Ijaw areas. Delta South terminates at the Atlantic Ocean.

Many thanks to Opakan2, Fratermathy and Efewestern for the clarification.

Oton Iwere Dede, no kin aghan.

Chief Ayomike is a great loss to Iwere kingdom.

Many thanks to Opakan2, Fratermathy and Efewestern for the clarification.

You need not have heard about him. He's not a loud or proud man.
