Yorubas Do Not Own Lagos, The Ijaws Do. The Mahins, Ilajes And Aworis Are Ijaws by Obiagu1(m): 2:14pm On Feb 18, 2011 |
Please I'm not the author of this post. Post by killayut, an Ijaw man On the issue of Ijaw in Lagos state. People should go back in history. In no Yoruba history there is a mention of Coastal area. The ancien Oyo empire does not extend to the coast. The coast of todays Lagos state has always been settled by a fishing people. The MAHINS. Ilajes and AWORIS. who are these people. These people were Ijaws who over many many years due to many different reasons ( arrival of Igbiras through the creeks from Igbira land ) and other mixes resulted in to the Ijaw minorities there being influenced to change their culture, a big example of such changes is in to todays town of ekiadolor where the natives speak uhrobo but the town is an IJAW TOWN. CHIEF EDWIN CLARK is from EKIADOLOR. almost every body in Ekiadolor speak uhrobo. I dont want to talk about Aladja which is also the same with Ekiadolo. In ONDO state the people of AROGBO were able to maintaion their Ijawness although a good number f them speak yoruba and have yoruba names. The APOIS of Ondo and parts of Edo are another Ijaw groups that have half of them speaking Yoruba and having yoruba names. along the same coast from ONDO through Ogun to lagos are the same Ijaw people that got to the Ibeju leki area of LAGOS and eventaully setled at the coastal LAGOS , Till tomorrow Ijaw people sell land in TARKWA, The word APAPA IN Lagos is an Ijaw word meaning groundnut, It was named after the minority natives who were fishing there when the seaport was built to export ground nut from KANO . The sea port became known as groundnut port which is apapa port, Apapa is ground nut in Ijaw. 1 Like |

I am not talking from a position of ignorance but from that of authority! Most OPC members are aworis. Infact, I would say no more. I just wish proper awori man can come here . . lol. He would even be pissed off! Infact, Fashola is a awori man, why was he pissed off when MEND blew the Atlas cote*? Shebi, he should also fight for MEND not against. You know what? I better let an awori man tell you this and not me! SMH AND LOL 1 Like |

Much as am tempted to ridicule the poster, this write-up is thought-provoking: 1.) How come the Ijaws never ruled any of these their Lagos communities, is it that they don't have leadership capabilities? They didn't even have traditional rulers amongst themselves, ruling their own minor communities? (Which were eventually overwhelmed by the Yoruba 'settlers' as the writer would have us believe. 2.) If a community of people do not farm (i.e. possess a culture of tilling the land to produce food) then on what basis can they lay claim to land? and Ijaw people do not farm, we know they're lazy like that 3 Likes 1 Share |

Wonders shall never end, Ijaw wetin. I see small Ijaw tribe is trying to boost their population. They jumped from Bayelsa to Lagos. Do they think we have riverine area's or how did they get to Lagos, through the large waves of bar beach? From this assertion is it not right to claim Ijaw as Yoruba? Afterall Yoruba have Ilaje, whose way of life is similar to Ijaw. We can reasonably say Ilaje is the parent tribe of the Ijaw, and they are Yoruba. Hence Yoruba own Bayelsa state? That should be the topic. Wetin join riverine and ocean people together? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Interesting post, but how do we know that the Ijaws didn't just move there after Lagos started growing? Remember that the Ijaws moved around a lot. They were spread out into separated clans sharing a common language/linguistic characteristic. The presence of "Ijos" in many places other than what is now Bayelsa, Rivers, and Delta, was noted by early European explorers (Portuguese explorers, Richard Burton, etc.) who were exploring those other places, but there was no evidence that they had actually preceded the "main" groups that were there in settling in those locations, and it's even likely, given their huge involvement in trade, that they moved there after others had established commercially relevant city-states, cities, or villages. (Just stating the obvious.) |

These people are funny. All these expansionist agenda and roughing of feathers of the Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo can only lead to a possible genocide which I do not pray for. The OPC has already fought them in lagos and Ondo state. It is my people I really pity |

Hey! Either the original author is smoking the good s#*t or there is something to this. As they say, there is nothing new under the sun. Anything is possible, but I never heard this before. We must look at it further: 1) We need Katsumoto, Kilode, Aigbofa and any of our Yoruba/Nigeria historians; 2) I will be talking to my Awori mom in a couple of hours; will ask her if she ever heard that the Ijaw/Ijo people settled Eko. I don't mind at all. We are all one. [img]http://image.spreadshirt.com/image-server/image/design/3313014/type/png/width/280/height/280[/img] |

We, the Ijaw (Ijo, Izon) inhabiting the Niger Delta and coastal regions of Nigeria, stretching from Apoi/Arogbo in Lagos State in the West to Ibeno on the banks of the Qua Iboe River in Akwa Ibom State in the East of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in territories herein stated as follows: The territories of the indigenous Ijaw communities from the Apoi and Arogbo clans in Lagos State; The territories of the indigenous Ijaw communities from the Apoi and Arogbo clans in Ondo State; The territories of the indigenous Egbema, Olodiama, Furupagha and Okomu clans in Edo State; http://www.ijawfoundation.org/resolution_001_08.htm |
Re: Yorubas Do Not Own Lagos, The Ijaws Do. The Mahins, Ilajes And Aworis Are Ijaws by ShangoThor(m): 5:32pm On Feb 18, 2011 |
According to research, the Ilaje (Mahins et al) have always had a very early presence in Lagos. If you do a Google maps search for Mahin you will understand why. However, the Ilaje trace their roots back to Oduduwa, and are affiliated with the Yoruba (fact). Nevertheless, they do share a river dependant life style and relationship with the Ijaw, so much so that they are intertwined but at the same time distinctive groups. They also share a common deity, Ayelala (a god against treachery, wickedness, dishonesty and evil), which legend has it ironically came into being due to a conflict between both the Ijaw and the Ilaje. This is ‘OUR’ anthropological story of Human Evolution in the Niger Delta, and Southern Nigeria, we are all intertwined. 1 Like |

EzeUche_: Their fighting has got them nowhere, as far as taking land. Both the Ilaje and Itsekiri got the OPC to come and punish them. The Ikwere(Igbo)came with cults and punnished them plus Gov. Amaechi is driving them completely out of Port Harcourt. Im starting to notice that Ijaws attack groups whose name state with an "I" . |
