This is repulsive and a slap to made up cultural laws

The 1979 edict says only prince born by either a benin or itsekiri woman could be made king but none of this prince's made the requirement as all their mothers are Yorubas, the iyasere should have occupied till the prince's heir makes the requirement

Now the stool has been defied and no respect for the royal law

emmyN:


No one is presented before the oracle unless they meet the criteria of the mother being Itsekiri or Edo by tribe. And no oracle picked Tsola after the demise of Atuwatse II

WarriAproko:
Rewane was the last person to hold that title and he is the one that crown Atuwatse II the Father of the designated King tsola Emiko. That post has been vacant before it was given to Ayiri by ikenwoli. He is the house keeper to the king and also the prime minister. That is a big position.

LagbajaTheBEREAN:
Emiko got admitted to Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, United States where he bagged his Bachelor’s of Arts, majoring in International Studies and Political Science, while minoring in History and Economics between 2002 and 2006.

I don't understand the 'majoring' and the 'minoring' part of the story..

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.

Gerrard59:


That's how courses are in the US - one is your major discipline while the other is what you minored in. The MAJOR constitute the primary/main course you're pursuing while the minor is secondary to add more flair or broaden your horizon. An instance is major in Economics and minor in Chinese Mandarin.

ogbonti:




very true - and everyone within the Kingdom must thread with caution because they seek to destroy Ayiri, they will be attempting to destroy the position he occupies. Caution is the word!

Kings do not die, they pass on while his subjects dies and die again? What type of tradition is that?

Generally, people don't die, they pass on.

WarriAproko:
Rest on

This explanation makes sense cos their names are very similar to Yoruba names. In fact, they have nicer versions of the Yoriba names.

Are AGBARHA & OKERE URHOBO;EFFURUN & UVWIE & UGBORIKOKO with the prestigious UGBORIKOKO Secondary school.are they ITSEKIRI DOMAINS? or proudly urhobo ovuovo domains
Not to mention OGBE-IJOH (if spelling is correct);GBARANMATU,ISABA to mention but a few.IS THAT AN ITSEKIRI DOMAIN?
are they not located in Warri?
Some urhobo communities in warri south!
1.idimi sobo
2.agbassa
3.edjeba
4.okere-urhobo
5.ogunu
Warri has an itsekiri domain;urhobo domain & IJaw domain all ruled by three kings whatever their effing titles may be.
OLU OF WARRI does not king over Agbarha,Okere Urhobo or urhobo owned lands of Warri. Just as king of Ijaws does not king over itsekiri owned lands of warri. Any trespass would result in another warri crises replay

Mr Ogbonti knows fully dat he has Lost d Battle but still clutching@Straws and spilling Mud everywhere..

While Neddyogu after being salvaged from his Ignorance cowardly decides to smear the reputation of Ugborikoko n Urhobo College Secondary schools.
.
Which Government schools in South n even Lagos do we not have some 'Jaguda' students?

Dat said, Itsekiri is a Minority tribe in Delta n even in Warri..Most Warri pple don't know wat is Come in dier language..

Olu of Warri is only for Itsekiri of Warri..His power does not cross Enerhen junc axis..

In Warri metropolis, we also have Ovie of Uvwie, Okere-Urhobo, etc..

Neddyogu:


The mere classification of Okere as an Urhobo domain shows u know little about Warri. So no point continuing the conversation. Ogunu, Ugbuwangwe and Co are Itsekiri enclaves. The truth is that old warri has become a melting pot and the lines have become blurred. But ask urself this question; Why are all recognized warri chiefs Itsekiri? Even Okumagba had some itsekiri connection.

pinkygurl:


Okumagba is not my business.whether any prominent Ijaw or urhobo or itsekiri warri people intermarried at some point.Let them intermarry till eternity.urhobo land remains urhobo land.ijaw land remains ljaw land.itsekiri land remains itsekiri land.
Urhobos have their own king. callled OVIE.
Ijaw king PERE. Itsekiri king OLU.
Ovie of Agbara in warri rather.
Agbarha comprises of seven patriarch towns of otovwodo-agbarha in warri;igbudu in warri;Edjeba in warri;Okurode,Ogunu,Oteghele and Ukpokiti.Those are exclusively urhobo domains subject to IVIE urhobo king.Agbarha and Okere-urhobo of warri.

Gbaranmatu;Isaba and Ogbe ijoh are exclusively IJaw domains in Warri subject to lJaw king-Pere
Itsekiri domains are subject to king-OLU
Awo changed the traditional title of the Olu of Itsekiri to the Olu of Warri.

The court ruling states unequivocally that the Olu of Warri is a mere titular appellation and his over-lord's powers are limited to Itsekiri traditional homesteads.
OLU OF WARRI CAN ONLY KING OVER ITSEKIRI OIL WELLS OF WARRI & ITSEKIRI OWNED LANDS OF WARRI.
Warri belongs to itsekiris;urhobos & ijaws.
Itsekiris;urhobos & Ijaws all have oil.3 indigenous people;3 different tribes,3 different languages.3 different people subject to 3 different kings & they all know their boundaries. If anybody trespasses his boundary,it would be another Warri crises replay.
NEXT TIME ASK WHY YOUR PROMINENT ISTEKIRI KING & CHIEFS CANNOT KING OR CHIEF OVER URHOBO OR IJAW OIL WELLS OF WARRI OR THEIR COMMUNIITIES

Neddyogu:



You see, all these areas u mentioned existed as independent hinterland communities and we're not parts of original Iware. So don't get it twisted, when traditional warri is mentioned, there's no reference to assimilated areas. The fact that everywhere from Agbarho to Ovwian down to Okpara inland are lumped up as warri don't necessarily mean that's how it has always been. I believe it's just consequences of development and expansion.

wink2015:
THESE ITSEKE PEOPLE WHO ARE THEY DECEIVING?

MATTER THAT HAS ENTER THE NOOKS AND CRANIES OF WARRI TOWN AND ENVIRONS.

They are taking the public for a ride?

Who no know say Olu done die TAY TAY !

NOW NA THEIR DAY BREAK?

pinkygurl:

Warri is a conglomerate of three tribes;itsekiri,ijaws & urhobos.
All with interlocking land borders.3 tribes & soverign cultures in their own rights.with totally different languages. The itsekiris have similar language & culture to yorubas.The IJaws same language & similar culture with ljaws in Bayelsa & rivers.
The urhobos similar language & culture to the isokos & urhobo nation outside warri but still in delta.
So much ado about a title.
If he is the OLU of WARRI;.HE REMAINS THE KING OF THE ITSEKIRIS OF WARRI,ONLY.
just as OVIE OF WARRI REMAINS KING OF THE URHOBOS OF WARRI ONLY.
dont know the traditional name for the IJAWS' KING.
Whatever,they all know their boundaries.They all have crude oil within their officially owned territories in warri.
So theOLU cannot show himself more than his boundary.which remains restricted to only the itsekiris of Warri.or another clash go break out.
Last time l checked,the itsekiris of warri were always clashing with the ijaws of warri

Revolva:


You don't even know the true history of itsekiri people

You associate them with their new settlement in Warri where urhobos dwell and ijaw it's not so
Itsekiri started from igala hunger zekeli who migrated there to marry a ijebu woman of your a race then the other part of itsekiri who are the chiefmakers are from Benin ...they are the king makers only those from Benin heritage can rule the kingdom but the general itsekiri roots started from igala and mix of yoruba .

Go to Olu of warri kingdom and you will see it written where all clans came from

Why is it that istekiti language have similarities with igala and Yoruba but not Benin ..it's because the Benin later Invaded there to rule the kingdom and that is wat u see till date

pinkygurl:


The Olu of warri is the monarch of ITSEKIRIS ONLY. so he can add OLU OF NIGERIA to his title if he wants & copyright it also.THE URHOBOS,IJAWS Of WARRI.do not give a fvck about the title of the king of the ITSEKIRIS OF WARRI as far as he sticks to collecting royalties from ITSEKIRI BOUNDARY ONLY & ITSEKIRI OWNED OIL WELLS ONLY
The Olu or Ogiame (King) of Warri now only rules the Itsekiri people living in the town of Warri in the Delta State of Nigeria as a traditional leader..

- In pre-colonial and colonial times, there was a marked division of territory in Warri. The Ijaws occupied the islands and shores in the Warri South West Axis, the Itsekiris occupied the islands and mainlands close to the coastal areas in Warri South and North while the Urhobos occupied the hinterland with the exception of Okere-Urhobo and Agbassa urhobo who occupied coastal regions

When the colonial NCNC and the Action Group party was formed, the Itsekiris embraced the AG while the Urhobos embraced NCNC. Awolowo punished the Urhobos for this by placing the Itsekiri monarch above all the Urhobo monarchs. Awo also changed the traditional title of the Olu of Itsekiri to the Olu of Warri .

The court ruling states unequivocally that the Olu of Warri is a mere titular appellation and his over-lord's powers are limited to Itsekiri traditional homesteads.

Ignoramus. Is Enerhen in Warri? Apart from the Okumagba family (who have itsekiri connection) where in Okere is traditionally an urhobo enclave? Ginuwa? Upper Erejuwa? Robert Rd? cavajina? Igbo market abi na dat urhobo cultural Hall dey deceive u? Someone mentioned Edjeba as a urhobo traditional land and I ask so a college would be named after an itsekiri man in so-called urhobo enclave and all hell did not break loose or Atuwase I is now an urhobo man? Agbasa urhobo are descendants of migrants from Agbarha kingdom. And yes Ugborikoko sec school is not anywhere near prestigious.
