And who said Igbos ain’t native to edo state?

GavelSlam:


Can't you answer a simple question?

If Gelegele is under Bini authority, please tell me which Bini person can point to the place as his/ her ancestral home?

What does Gelegele mean in Bini language?

Tamakay:












You are very funny here. Have you heard of Egbesu? How 7 goats were sacrificed legs and hands tied and thrown to the sea and seven days later, those goats afloats alive with their eyes gouged? Allow fear and myth envelope your reasoning. As for the Ijaws, we deal with reality. The people have crowned their king already and there's nothing the Oba can do about it. Now that the Ijaws are angry with the Federal Govt., because of undevelopment and the Avengers warming up, this is a good avenue for the Ijaws to change the music. Like I said before, the Ijaws have what it takes to contain the Binis in terms of influence, money, rituals, war veterans, juju, charms etc
They have crowned their King already so...all Ijaws are monitoring the development and we cannot be cowed by mythical treat as you are doing.

OMO1234567:
it means truly truly

Exactly my problem with you ijaws, you think you are champions because your people were the most vocal and visible in the armed struggle. I'll have you know that the Niger delta militancy encompassed Edo's, Uhrobos, Ikweres, Kalabaris, Anangs, Efiks, Ibibios etc that's why it was so far reaching,
stand alone and the ijaw weak link will show
as for jazz etc, I dunno about who has the most, but I won't stake for you guys if I was to place it as a bet on bet naija..

nengibo:

Shut up if you dont have what to say, Ijaws are native to Edo state even Ondo state government that is majority Yoruba won't try this nonsense, thank God Ijaws can match Bini in all ramifications

nengibo:

Stop talking trash, dere is no bini man in gelegele, its just because of seaport the stupid politics started, the annoying thing is that when this provocation leads to altercation the same ppl will say "Ijaws are troublesome ", its the poor Nigeria state creation that put Ijaws in Ondo & Edo state.

lx3as:


One love Bro.

We all have equal footing in Ondo State and we're already rebuilding our trust in one another.
We grew up listening to Iroyin and Egberi on OSRC then, attending the same Schools. It's even hard differentiating Apoi man from Ikale person; even Arogbo Ijaws now. The Same applies to Edo groups like Owans, etc

We really need peace and unity in the South.

nengibo:

Ovia is a local government name not the identity of a people, what you should have argued is that gelegele is an bini word, but that will be a very blatant lie, Ijaws have been present in their land from time in memorial, it is on record that the Ijaws ferried the binis to lagos state, Edo state is a creation out of bendel unless you will say that Ijaws also just appeared in Delta state. Be guided

fejikudz:
IN as much i agree with you... i hope the ijaws in bayelsea won't be angry if the urhobos(ofoni people) there decide to have an ovie of ofoni in time to come

diadem10:


Abegi, forget that. Ijaws are tenants in Ondo state. We named them Ese Odo.

lx3as:


I actually knew that someone was going to say this!
But do you have where to push them to now?

Except we are having our republic and they decide to join their kiths in the Niger delta, which I doubt, Apoi and Arogbo in Ese - Ido LGA remain Ondo State indigenes; though I know a lot of Arogbo that claim both Ondo and Balyesa indigenes. We all know that the land originally belonged to Ilajes and to some extent Ikales. However, in the past many moved from one place to another to settle without all these present problems which are due to ethnic consciousness brought about by politics.

diadem10:


Of course, there's no problem with them settling in the place but the problem I have with them is when Ijaws keep claiming the place as their ancestral land when they are just settlers. The question is how could we have had the Itsekiris separating these Ijaw tenants in Ondo and Benin from the Ijaws in Delta if it were their ancestral land in the first place?

Funny thing is the Ijaws and even the Ikwere people loved putting a name to every small community that isn't up to a plot of land and that was why they were able to name many small sized communities inside Ese Odo which was named by the Ilajes. The fact is we don't care what the settlers choose to name their communities, the fact remains that they are settlers and if the Ijaws tries any stupid thing, we will have their arogbo brothers moved back to Bayelsa!

lx3as:


The Apois have already assimilated. The Arogbos that migrated after them can never go with an each of Ilaje land but for now they are accepted as one of us and are already assimilating. The only problem I had with some of them was in School then, seeing someone that claimed to come from Southern Ijaw LGA also claiming at the same time to come from Ese Odo.

Blackfyre:


Funny, I was there about late last year, that place heavy sha make I no lie. I happened to walk into a market of theirs where they sold ritual stuffs and items, name it, I saw it all except human body sha. There was this tree at the center of the market tha had all sort of things placed at the bottom. It was my first time of seeing cowries.

Benin people no dey play I swear...

isalegan2:




Cowries? You mean the common cowries that we used for trade in the old days? What's so frightening about that?

isalegan2:
I had no idea this fight continued o! 9 pages! So Ijaw and Bini they drag? Where's TonyeBarcanista to debate whoever the NL Bini rep is? I'm not sure about Laudate; that bro seems very Lagosian-Bini - maybe he's Lagos Bini royal.

The same way ilorin and kogi has been assimilated, there are no Yorubas dere

Assimmilated into what?

Dude stop talking about what you have no ideas about, just because you think you can find a comparable example among Yorubas.
Yorubas don’t assimmilate into other things.

nengibo:

There are no yorubas in the north, capiche, its all hausa-fulani land full stop, anyother person is a settler
