the Itsekiris are a Yoruba subgroup. What they have in common with the mainstream yoruba transcends affiliation; they are bonded by BLOOD! You can meet any informed Itsekiri person to explain more to you. They are a part of the Ijebu subgroup that migrated to the present delta region. Unlike the Anions, however, they do not deny their yoruba ancestry or seek for a breakway identity. Why do you think the Itsekiris vehemently resisted efforts to create a midwestern region and separate them from their Western kinsmen in 1963 until they gave in to a refredum?

A simple google search of kingdom of warri should help.
The OLU remains ruler of ITSEKIRI LANDS OF WARRI.
thats where his soverignity begins & end.
He is not the king of EFFURUN IN WARRI.An urhobo land.
The king of EFFURUN IN WARRI for example, is callled OVIE .

Realhommie:
But how can you think the whole of Warri belong to the Itsekiris? Coz by implication that's exactly what you're saying..

Or do you not know that in Warri you also have the Urhobos and the Ijaws? Are these tribes under the control of the Olu?

Whatever federal gazette you talk about is all politics, not even the Olu will attempt to trespass. They all know their boundaries.

Neddyogu:


Warri is Itsekiri domain, hence Olu of Warri is the Paramount ruler of Warri and the Itsekiri since the days of Dore Numa, Ginuwa and Nana.

Ayiri Emami won’t be pleased with this news

breko:
effurun na part of warri?��

pinkygurl:


Are EFFURUN & UVWIE & UGBORIKOKO with the prestigious UGBORIKOKO Secondary school.are they ITSEKIRI DOMAINS? or proudly urhobo ovuovo domains
Not to mention OGBI IJAW (if spelling is correct) to mention but a few.IS THAT AN ITSEKIRI DOMAIN?
are they not located in Warri?

Neddyogu:



Where d'you imagine is Warri? know that Uvwie, udu, Ogbe-ijo, etc are not actually warri o. It's just that development has made people address those neighboring communities as part of warri.

Benwallt:
See name. These ppl are pancaked Yoruba clan just some modifications in their names and language. The new one too young. 36

Neddyogu:


Effurun is not warri. effurun is in uvwie local government area. the proximity of these communities to warri makes people call all these areas as warri. I was born and raised in warri so I know what I am telling u. Ugborikoko, airport junction, Ekpan, Jakpa and Co are in uvwie. Ogbe-ijo is technically part of warri kingdom but centuries of interaction with their Ijaw visitors due to shared fishing occupation has given the ijaw a claim to the area ( there was a bloody clash around 1999 to carve out Warri SW LGA) According to some, the urhobos were more of traders of palm oil who were middle men for the itsrkiri and those they traded with on the Benin river especially the Portuguese. Many of the places u refer to as Warri are technically not warri. Very soon some one would say Osubi or Okuokoko is also warri.


PS: How does Ugborikoko sec sch qualify as a prestigious school? What would u then call FGCW? Ugborikoko sec school na tout school abeg.

JohnSin97:


There's only one king in warri, and that is the Olu of Warri

Congratulations to the young prince and incoming king.On a lighter mood their names are always breath taking.Person wey get asthma fit faint when pronouncing their names.

pinkygurl:

Uvwie,okpe,Ekpan, udu are technically not the original warri.but have all grown into and integrated into the metropolitan city called warri.
In Geography,warri is a modern example of a conglomerate city/town.
With three indigenous people and cultures and borders growing towards each other & integrated.If one is travelling to uvwie for example,or udu, one would say he is travelling to warri. Or he lives in uvwie or udu in warri.
So l listen to traditional titles to know what part of today's warri they are talking about.
If l hear OLU an itsekiri title for king, l subconciouslly know they are talking of the traditional ruler of itsekiri lands in today's warri or waff town
And as for your claim of IJaws laying claim to some itsekiri lands & itsekiris accusing ijaws of laying claim to some ijaw lands or urhobo accusing ijaws of laying claims to some of their lands.
I was not there with their ancestors to really know who is lyeing.we do not want more replays of warri crises
An itsekiri would tell you ijaw stole some of their lands .l dont know who is lyeing.e nor concern me.ma papa nor be the king of any part in today's warri or wafftown
P.S. if the prestigious ugborikoko school na tout school.what do you call urhobo college then?

Neddyogu:


Now u're getting the picture. As far as the traditional title is concerned, it refers to the geographical area traditionally known as Warri not surrounding settlements. I'm sorry if u are affiliated with Ugborikoko school but it's not near prestigious. Urhobo college stands higher just that they have turned it to hoodlum training ground.

You are right-IF the supreme court of judgement and Nigerian Federal gazette upholds any title for a king ruling over ITSEKIRI OWNED LANDS ONLY OF WARRI.
THE truth remains for ignoramus like you,that if the title is useful for kinging over Itsekiri lands of warri only,THEN HE CAN EVEN UPGRADE & COPYRIGHT THE TITLE TO SUPREME MESSIAH OF WARRI.
we all know be he SUPREME MESSIAH OF WARRI;or he prefers title SUPREME LORD OF WARRI or he prefers title OLU of warri or he prefers title BOSS KING OF WARRI or he prefers title ONLY BREATHING KING OF WARRI or he prefers title ONLY KING IN WARRI or he prefers title TBOSS OF WARRI or he prefers title KING OF WARRI or he prefers title ONLY SWAG KING OF WARRI
He remains relevant only in Itsekiri owned lands of Warri. & you can migrate to an itsekiri land of warri so u can effing bow to him
then you can go Keel yourself and STFU & GO TO HELL.
Cos the Urhobos and ljaws of WARRI dont give a f * * k about the king of the Itsekiris ruling over itsekiri lands .whatever his title might be

ogbonti:



just as the federal government of Nigeria doesn’t give a fvck about your wailings and tears on nairaland- it is settled matter- it is OLU of WARRI, it is in the judgement of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, it is in the gazette of both Delta State of Nigeria and the Federal Republic of Nigeria and your relitigating here is tantamount to constituting cyber space nuisance - guess what? if you don’t like what The Law says, go and jump into the Lagoon

pinkygurl:

Oga STFU.
A simple google search of kingdom of warri should be helpful. OLU REMAINS KING OF ITSEKIRI OWNED LANDS ONLY IN WARRI
I for example,schooled at an urhobo land of warri.
ITSEKIRI is never taught in public schools in urhobo lands controlled by OVIE king.
You and your lack of knowledge can go to hell.
You cannot educate me about Warri my place of birth

Can you say The Oba of edo or The Obi of ukwani or The The Alafin of Yoruba? Guy stop arguing a case that has been settled in court.

Edo,Benin has only one traditional king.
So I do not care about their titles

you can go argue with your supreme court of Nigeria I didn’t make the judgement they did so you are picking a fight with the wrong person

Aurelius1:
Have you heard of The Otuaru of Auchi? Monarchs are named after the Towns not the tribe or language.
