Here is the only proof of ownership the Ijaws have is threat of war. Here is their Press Statement
8th January, 2017

IJAWS IN GBARAMATU WILL CRUSH ANY BODY FIGHTING TO RENAME OKERENKOKO, NIGERIA MARINTIME UNIVERSITY.

It is pertinent to note that Okerekoko is the original name of where the Nigeria Maritime University is sited and any Itsekiri fighting to rename Okerenkoko and Nigeria Maritime university will be crushed. You can not give a name that does not belongs to us and you expect us to accept it. That is a capital NO, because we are not known by Okerenghigho but Okerenkoko and for the purpose of record ,Okerenkoko is never being disputed in any legal tussle. Okerenkoko and Okerenghigho is not same name and OKerenkoko is not corrupted name of Okerenghigho, the whole should note.

We wish to state unequivocally and reiterate that Okerenkoko is the Original name of where the Nigeria Maritime University is located. There is no time Okerenkoko is called Okerenghigho. No community in Gbaramatu kingdom is referred as Okerenghigho. Okerenkoko is made of Ijaw only. There is no trace of Itsekiri in Okerenkoko. Attempt to rename our community is sucidal and dangerous. We are Ijaw People and can never bear Itsekiri identify. This is an attempt of slavery. I have not seen in any where in the world where a particular identity of a people is renamed to bear the identify of another ethnic background. The action of AGF Malami is retrogressive and may likely put those few Itsekiris fighting to rename Okerenkoko and Nigeria Maritime University at cross- road. We are not scared about the inimical Memo. We have been pushed to the wall, but Ijaws are not afraid of WAR.

It is so unfortunate that deliberate attempts are being made by AGF Malami to ignite fire where there is none. We want president Buhari to call AGF Malami and the cabal at the corridor of power to order. It is not only curious and spurious, but surprising how Malami came up with his jaundice memo that is meant to instigate crisis between the Ijaws of Gbaramatu kingdom and our Itsekiri neighbors.

Some body should educate me here. Is there any law in Nigeria that says if you rent your house to a tenant, after 100 years, the tenant automatically becomes a land lord? When we eventually join our brothers in Oduduwa Republic, we will evict the Ijaws from our land. It is good that the Aree Onakanfor of Yoruba Land has visited Warri to assess the situation.

What you are calling for is an Act of War and Biafra will not hesitate to join the ND Republic to neutralize any threat to regional stability in the WA.

THE MAIN SOLUTION TO NIGERIA'S PROBLEM

We all know the main problem behind nepotism and widespread killings in Nigeria (especially in the Northern part).

Kindly read this:
A Very powerful man, named Saul in the Bible was seriously persecuting the Christians after Stephen died.

When he later got converted by Jesus Himself, he turned out to be the Greatest Apostle in the New Testament after Jesus!

This is where our answer lies! These killers (Herdsmen, Cultists Ritualists and other terrible elements), their sponsors and their sympathizers were raised and trained to do what they do by their environment and influencers, the same way you do the things you do because you were trained so.

Now to change a grown person is very Herculean if not impossible. The only way a person can change is if God changes the person from his heart.

But God needs us to pray so He can have the permission to intervene and Change these killers, their sponsors etc.

If we start spending MORE AND MORE TIME PRAYING FOR THE CONVERSION OF ALL THE KILLERS, THEIR SPONSORS AND THEIR SYMPATHIZERS like Paul (Saul the former Church Persecutor) rather than just criticising the situation, in NO distant time, We will have a lot of them converted to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace!

If each of us is praying continuously for their conversion, our prayers will, like rain drops falling continuously and causing a flood, will bring about their needed transformation.

Imagine the Strong Political Leaders fully embracing Jesus Christ! NIGERIA will be PARADISE!!

Kindly spread this message and start praying continuously as this is our most viable SOLUTION.

NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN in Jesus Name, Amen!

ON THE MARITIME UNIVERSITY
Question by Amon Ra:
Quincy Onuwaje, are there Itsekiri people dwelling there at Okerenghigho? If so, why is the Supreme Court Judgement not in effect? Is there a representative of the Olu of Warri there?

Answer by Quincy Onuwaje:
Amon Ra, the entire extent of land in question is an extension of the nature given territory of Omadino community, an extension of land out of which they make their living and still do as fishermen, lumbermen and farmers. As time went on, fishermen and wood fellers from other tribes secured the permission of Omadino community to also support their lives from the resources in this land. Omadino community obliged them, but regulated their activities and collected rents from them. These persons were not only Ijaws. There were Urhobos, Kwales, Ijaws etc who carried out these activities and paid their rents to the Omadino people. Sometime in the 1940s, the ijaw tenants started making claims to the land, and not only did they refuse to pay their rents, they also became hostile to the other tribes who made a living out of the land, attempting to substitute themselves as the new landlord who should collect the rents that were due to the people of Omadino, thus causing the evacuation of the Urhobos, Eshans, isokos etc who were also tenants to the Itsekiris of Omadino. This hostile action was what led to the Court case against the Ijaws which went up to the Supreme court, and which was decided in favour of Omadino. When they failed to obey the court Judgement, the Omadino people then sued for forfeiture and eviction from the land. At this point, they then rescinded their actions and pleaded to remain on the land. Seeing that they had no legal and historical base, they resorted to the use of arms which was freely brandished during the Warri crises of 1997-2003 wherein they maimed and killed thousands of Itsekiris and sacked many villages with the strong support of their people from Bayelsa and everywhere else. They claimed to be fighting against the relocation of a Local government HQ, but they were actually carrying out an attempted wiping off of the Itsekiri people from their nature given territory. Since then, it has been rule of might whereby they continually blackmail the FG and all others whenever issues relating to their illegalities are brought to the fore.

The most potent argument in support of Okerenghigho is offered by the Highest Court in Nigeria. I just love the quote below by the trial Judge. You can appeal against it if that is possible in your opinion.

Suit No. W/29/49 (Later W/29/51 upon transfer in 1951): E.E.Sillo & Anor (For themselves and on behalf of the people ofOmadino) Vs. Aduromokumor ( For themselves and on behalf ofthe people of Bakokdia) for the declaration of title to land. In this suit judgement was granted in favour of Omadino people inrespect of Bakokodia, Okerenghigho and the surrounding villages.

Quotable legal notes:

“ I am satisfied and find that the Plaintiff founded the village of Okenghigho, Omadinor, Bakodia and Akpata; Ofomini and his son Biabor settled with their people at Bakokodia with the permission of Chanomi and the Elders of Omadinor”

-Per Courtney Walton Recee Puisne, Judge.

See Page 4 of the judgement.

Sequel to the said judgment the Ijaws continued to disregard the above judgment, and Omadnio people sued the Ijaws for and an Order of Forfeiture at the Warri High Court.

The case progressed to the Supreme Court where ultimately the Ijaws accepted aconsent judgment in which they clearly acknowledged Omadino’s ownership of the land. See Suits Nos. W/29/51,WACA No. 3707, W/37/61 and SC/393/64; W/35/75.

Read the full fact about the ownership of Okerenghigho site of marine University. Yorubas of Ijebu own the land. Ijaws are tenant who have been paying rent to the Yorubas of Omadinor https://m./105184559628346?view=permalink&id=1329286833884773
Omadino was founded over
500 years ago by Itsekiris of
Ijebu-Yoruba ancestry. Same as
Ode-Itsekiri.

The oil-and-gas rich Ugborodo (formerly called Escravos) was founded over 500 years ago by Itsekiris of Ilaje-Yoruba ancestry
who migrated from Ugboland in the oil and gas rich Ilaje area of
Ondo State.

The Supreme Court also affirmed from the ruling that Okerenghigho (called Okerenkoko by the Ijaw) is part of Itsekiriland, and the Ijaws are rent-paying tenants in fishing settlements on Itsekiriland.

Tompolo's mother incidentally is an
Itsekiri meaning that Tompolo has
Ijebu-Yoruba ancestry. grin


There have also been Ijaw-on-Ijaw deadly violence over the Soku Gas
Plant and oil fields ownership between the states of Bayelsa
and Rivers.

The Rivers Ijaws accused the
Bayelsa Ijaws of being fishing settlement tenants in Soku
which they claimed belongs to
them! Whew! grin


The heavy guns and missiles might solve this vexatious issue finally over the Itsekiri ownership claims as affirmed by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
