I don't think anyone is laying claim to Izon or Ijaw least the Yoruba. Some Ijaw are in Ondo State but have no land there. Just like Fulani, the Ijaw are migrants in many parts of southern Nigeria and there's no way they can proof the ownership of anywhere in Edo and Ondo state.
The coastal areas from Escravos Warri to Edo and Ondo state do not have any Izonland.
I do not think Yoruba want to claim Ijaw but has been affirming their kinsmen the Itsekiri.
This statement by the Ijaw is deliberate message to Itsekiri and Edo, trying to affirm ownership and I will advise that they perish the idea.

Now on a more pragmatic level, who really need who? Compare what ijaw have to the Yoruba in all ramifications, they are not mates;is it productive landmass good for agriculture, population with good purchasing power, educated population, already organized communities in terms of economic power, what are the ijaw fighting for?
1. Crude oil: The exclusive land area the ijaw can claim is Forcados to Bayelsa and maybe some areas of Kalabari in Rivers. They can make do with their resources and lets see how many decades it take them to be like the Yoruba or Igbo. Other ethnic groups have oil too, by the time your Nigeria is fully divided(I don't advocate for such) you will know that Yoruba and Igbo has oil than you can think. This is also applicable to natural gas.
2.Warri: Former oil capital of Nigeria, wealthy oil potentials and location of a refinery and proposed gas FTZ, the ijaw can't claim the one at Porthacourt and so looking at warri will to them be a good starting point. Now, if the Itsekiri should stand with Yoruba it will be zero probability of getting what they want. The Gelegele at Edo is slipping away already and consolidating through Toru-Ibe is a dead dream, the ijaw are led largely by youths who just want economic empowerment but with little grasp of history and diplomacy.

What options do they really have if they want an Ijaw country?
Live in peace with their neighbors, hold to those undisputed areas and trade away those disputed areas for strong economic and cultural ties because they can't win the Yoruba or the Edo in eventuality. They need to consolidate on their areas in Rivers and Beayelsa else they may be fighting battles against all their big neighbors and they can't win.
So, what would the Yoruba want from ijaw apart from oil, don't think there's anything and its not looking like Oduduwa will want to include the Ijaw even though historically the ijaw claim ife and, when the value of oil becomes less and less a driving force, the ijaw will see the light.
happy Sunday to all.
My take is let the Izon live in peace with all their neighbors, negotiate a confederation with any big side and you will win from both sides.

Thank you !!!! Nicely done

franksam2009:
Why this ijaw people too like fight? It is impossible for south south to be independent, they will have to take a side, either with the Igbo's, Yoruba's, or nigeria

Remove yorubas because we do not want ijaws. You people can have them

Utsekiri is ok for us thanks

laiza:
every tribe gas it's shortcomings and we yorubas and not left out. Now either anyone associates with us or not we'd still gonna be yoruba and a force to reckon with. Quick question tho; what have you done to change that belief?

These people are igbos with Yoruba moniker

laiza:
you probably was born yoruba, clearly that was a mistake. Nobody forced you to remain one! The sooner the lot of you leave the earlier we'd know who is remaining. I am proud to be yoruba.....our forefathers might have made mistakes it is therefore left to us to right the wrongs of our heroes past.

That guy is igbo. Lol

Looool yorubas will NEVER INCLUDE IJAW never !!!!!

But western delta to ubeji warri south etc are all oduduwa land FACT !!!!!!

PLEASE yorubas should leave this thread because yorubas can never include ijaws at the first place

Note there are no ijaw lands in ondo. Arogbo and apoi are migrates

One thing I know APC is for is propaganda and blackmail.

Why should anyone be paying such an high amount for a vehicle when we have no manufacturing company in Nigeria. Are we that daft? They have simply created a snuggling avenue.

Secondly, is the DG of custom beyond the Senate that he disrespect them anyhow ? Will the uniform of the agency he respresents and head kill him? Ego fight

Hmmmm we have a long way to go

DieDieDieOmenka:
oga Ijaws own ondo and there's nothing you can do about it stop pouring spits everywhere like typical afonja coward.
Truth is mine
Truth is talking
Truth has spoken
kiss the truth

Igbos una Don start. Lol

Ijaws have NO part of ondo state. They are migrants. Take note

Both the apoi and arogbo ijaw have no land in ondo or western delta.

MichaelUweh:
Pls let ExxonMobil pack their load and live AKS if they can't relocate their headquarter to the state. Is it good for all this oil companies to have their main operational base in Niger delta and be poluting our environments while they went to Lagos to site their headquarters ,with this, Yoruba people now used this avenue to hijacked all the job opportunities that arises. Go to ExxonMobil in Akwa Ibom, it is Yoruba all through, Total E&P in Port Harcourt ,Yoruba's are everywhere,Agip, Chevron, Hallibutton, shell,etc are all dominated by Yoruba's. Let them relocate if not, there will be a time we would all rise against them in future time.

I thought Lagos was a no mans land. Mumu

Misswang001:
Why should I do the same work with my male colleague and end up being paid less,because I am a woman? My gender shouldn't determine my salary, but rather my efficiency.

This is a lie. It is a lie feminist tell other women so as to get the necessary attention they want.

Please mention one company in Nigeria or abroad that does such

cuteme88:


Chei which one be wife not cook again! Abegiiiiiii my hubby will enjoy my different delicacies, even the ones i can't prepare i go online to learn. shooooooo? I am Single but i'm already training myself to be a better chef for my husband after that na the oda roooooom hubby must not lack frm me Biko.

People will just be coming up with nonsense to destroy other people's peace. let's think twice before following others oooh!!!! some of them couldn't make it and they want others to go down with them.

PM me

GreenMavro:
Access Bank can't employ someone like you, because you can't read and understand simple post the op just posted!

True, he is a typical Nigerian graduate. Very unemployable. He did not even comprehend before commenting

Typing from phone

Because the woman is more proactive than him.

AZeD1:
I for one don't care if a woman can cook or not. There are certain foods i will only eat if its prepared by me so a woman's cooking skill is of no importance to me.

A woman's play station skills is more important to me than her cooking skills.

I find your post very interesting and I use to be like you. Like you I cannot eat some certain food unless cooked by me.

Yes that is me, what of my kids? Visitors etc

You see, it is your choice but don't make your children grow up in a dysfunctional home. Just because you accept such, majority of men out there will not accept it.

I can cook for my wife and kids once in a while. Nothing wrong with that but it is my wife duty to do the cooking most days. Again my wife can support with money sometimes but it is my duty to provide for the home.

You cannot have two captains in a ship. Likewise everyone must know his/her role in the family. Nothing works in nature without knowing you part of role to play in it

Ants have soldiers, queen, workers eye

A lioness hunts and provides food while the lion protects the pride

God has designed nature because He understands His ways and you cannot rationalise it. He gave authority to Adam the man for a purpose. He a wise man and stand your ground

A good woman would know these things

I dated a feminist once. I cook etc for her. Lol it was wrong and not worth it. You will only regret it.

Again a word is enough for the wise. A wise man has eyes in (not on) his head.

Phone autocorrect

Oyo and akwa ibom

Janeyinspires:
I no even know where to begin put mouth for this matter......If a wife won't cook for the husband(family),who will do it for her? Abi she wan swap role? Is cooking not inclusive in taking care of the home, as being the duty of a wife? If there is love and understanding in a home,I wonder the place of this lubbish campaign! Btw,is the home a place to claim equality?

Lol you know some women are foolish. The Bible says a wise woman builds her home but a foolish women tires it down.

Looooool Women that are frustrated and hate seeing other women happy are the feminist. You see them in weddings, etc all looking angry when a woman is settling down with a God-fearing good man. Some even say they will not attend the wedding because of their sadistic nature.

If a woman cannot cook for me an submit to me then she does not deserve the happiness entitled to her but if we men find a submisive woman, we should love her the way a woman is too be loved.

AFFECTION !!!!! Very important because she is human as well.

Iamwrath:
Nigerian constitution allows anybody who is deemed qualified to run for office, it was never about tribe or region


Afterall Yoruba voted for Ojufraud when his own people abandoned him



Besides Tinubu single handedly fixed Lagos with those he appointed, then it seemed like nonsense but now Eko is stepping up. can you say any achievement of the clueless other than theft and stupidity displayed by husband, wife and adopted child?

Accord to them the respect they give their hero. It is time to unite in the south. STOP BEING USED ALL THE TIME

adadike281:
ok, why?

He cannot declare his full position yet but trust me they (northern cabal) want to kill the south completely and it is such a shame that Tinubu is just seeing this. Never too late, if he wants to come out, then we need to support him.

In the south, we need some "untouchables" and they cannot be militants like Tompolo and co. We need to be very careful, forget party, the North does not care about party by a collective interest of the few. We are more educated in the south but we are always the fools. Tinubu is not making it clear his position until we get closer to 2019

sarrki:
As usual they will soon bombard you

Zombie, I am not a zombie but I speak for the interest of the south. Whether we like it or not, he is our leader. They want to cripple the south completely and only a fool will not see that.

adadike281:
in sane countries, that man would have been arrested. He is among those that crippled and still crippling this nation.

GEJ had the opportunity anyway I don't like Tinubu but we need to support him in the south. Trust me

We need to go as a united front

greatgod2012:
If the northern leaders like, let them break their heads, Tinubu has every constitutional right to contest for President but it now depends on the generality of Nigerians to elect him into the position!


Personally, I can't vote for him, he's not the only intelligent person in Nigeria and then, he's too cunning for my own liking!

True but we in the south, whether Christians or Muslims need to support him. He is our best chance right now funny enough

adadike281:
Tinubu speaking from both side of d mouth. contest today, deny it tomorrow.

No he is not. We need to rally around Tinubu. Funny as it sounds

anonimi:
It is called "testing the waters" or exploratory phase in politics.
The JagaBandit understands our collective greediness and mumuness that he has exploited these past 18 years to rise from a pauperised drug dealer returneee who forfeited $460,000 to pay off his CRIME to the US but is today (arguably) the richest Yoruba man.

It is time for the South to unite behind Tinubu. I know it sounds absurd but trust me if we don't we will regret it. The North has always used the south, it is time we use the North to move this country forward.

I don't like Tinubu but at this Junction, we need to think ahead.

I agree !!!! Especially car dealers and market women

One of the few intelligent nigerians

Thief

This is pure stealing. Buhari did not give any order

So many thieves in Nigeria

Tokunbo with plate number.

You must be crazy. A 15 years old car. Onye shi
