firstolalekan:And you base this statement on what facts or experience ?? |
literarymathy:Yes this is how genocides are incited by illiterate, myopic sighted neanderthals who have never for one second of their lives relied on any other form of knowledge but what their stupid little minds tells them is fact. Illiad, its not by perching on a pail of butter a fly becomes a butterfly. Abeg get sense small or better still shut your filthy mouth on issues bigger than ur nonbrain can comphrend. |
tosyne2much:He will just go ahead and let the whole world know he slept with her anyway to to spite her and ruin her chances of finding a guy she really wants to be with. |
onuwaje:During my father's time i.e the sixties and seventies... burial at ode itsekiri was normal practice... in fact my father wud say that the reasons itsekiris are so interested in warri is cos they have turned big warri to a cemetery with no more space for inhabitants. Two, if u say the Olu is the king of all itsekiris and his title is Olu of warri then u are automatically saying that itsekiri's have no landmass they call theirs other than Warri. A=b=c therefore A=c... u cant have it both ways u pple shud make up ur minds about who and where ur Olu truly belongs and rules. I still stand on my ground that warri the Olu is king of is big warri ( ode iteskiri) and not warri township. |
The only condition for linking a royal title to a particular town is that the people of that etnic group are native to that town alone, itsekiris should not sell their cow for a bucket of milk. He is the Olu of itsekiriland not of warri. Just like the oba of Egbaland and the Orodje of Okpeland.... the truth is the truth no matter how much we try to distort it. Any civilized and progressive human being must admit facts when the lie becomes untenable. |
onuwaje:The itsekiri homeland is Ode itsekiri ( big warri) not the metropolitian Warri the british created. Every idigene of itsekiri nation is buried there even if its only one of his or her fingernails. If you call him head of all itsekiris and you restrict him to Warri -because of reasons that dont look reasonably to me- are you then saying the people of Koko are not itsekiris or that the Olu has no authority over them or better still Koko is a part of warri metropolis ba? |
I am making a very late submission because I wanted to hear every side before contributing my own quota of knowledge. Itsekiris are a minority who feel insecure ( no insult intended) the warri itsekiri's call ancestral home is ode itsekiri ( big warri) not the current location of warri township. Some have said a king rules a place not a people. VERY wrong! A king rules a people not a place. Nupe are a people, UVwie are a people, udu where I come from are a people. If itsekiris are claiming that the olu is the king of warri, then he has no authority over itsekiris outside warri right? Because if he does they are actually short changing them self out of despration to hold on to a land that clearly belongs to 3 ethnic nationalities. Warri is not and has never been solely owned by any one tribe. The Olu is the Olu of itsekiri because he rules the itsekiri nation not just the itsekiris of Warri. |
