waje couldn't mention me and my goons on this thread.

I was ban on that thread for listing towns in warri, I don't know how warri effect nairaland, seun please work on that.

I can see some borrowed urhobo words there, like uko and kokodie, also I noticed your numbering is almost same with Yoruba.

what i am trying to say is the question who owns worry is very sensitive. it can't be discussed here if u know what i mean.


because we will end up not reaching a conclusive agreement
more like saying who owns each towns in warri, at least we all know nobody owns warri, listing the towns that make up the present day warri city will do for now and the owner of such towns.

jared007:
Ugborikoko is not a community in traditional Warri city but in Uvwie town. Lower and Upper Erejuwa doesn't belong to itsekiri but Agbassa and Okere - Urhobo. This write up is not expository enough. The Op needs to write what we don't know. For example where is Iwere Kingdom located? What's the difference between historic Iwere Kingdom and modern Warri city?
nobody said ugborikoko is a part of the traditional warri city, but present day warri city, ugborikoko make a huge part of it.

@bolded yea I gat your point.. will add more to it, fratermathy and onuwaje I need good points so we can educate others.

its good to be on anoda thread like this lol


well OP. "Ugborikoko" is in Uvwie LGA while Ugberikoko is in Okpeland I don't really know if its either Sapele or Okpe


Back to the Warri Issue.

the main Warri town is located within Agbassa, Okere, and parts of Okumagba Layout.




Warri City is Located in Warri South LGA



i wud av listed the towns and villages found in Warri South LGAs but i wqs banned the last time i tried it in a thread similar to this.


also the ownership of Warri is a very sensitive issue so i wud advise we refer to the court cases as regards to the areas concerned..

going into details might get me banned but i will try
lol, court cases? .

Ugborikoko is in uvwie fine, but ugborikoko make a huge part of the present day warri city.

TravelWARRI: The City And The Kingdom by Efewestern(op): 10:50am On Jul 06, 2017
Warri is located in Delta State, Nigeria, and is the economic nerve of the state. Warri is to the Urhobo/isoko, itsekiri and ijaw what Lagos is to Yoruba although both cities like every other cities in Nigeria are overrated.  Warri houses an annexe of the Delta State Government House. Most importantly, Warri is known for crude-oil production as it houses many of the oil companies operating in the region, thus earning the name of "oil-city". 

Warri is one of the most popular and densely populated areas in Nigeria. It is known for its unique brand of Nigerian Pidgin which has almost become creolized in the city.

The city is home to three major ethnicities: the Urhobo, Itsekiri and the Ijaw. This write-up, without further ado, will examine the dynamics of Warri City and establish its difference from the Warri Kingdom, which many people often regard as one and the same due to the naming.

Warri City

Warri City evolved from a small GRA in Agbassa area of Warri, built by the colonial masters who wanted to set up a district for the surrounding riverine and hinterland people. With the setting up of the colonial district and GRA in Warri, there was a massive influx of natives and foreigners in the new city. This influx created a "land race" between the ethnic groups in the area and set the pace for one of the most asked questions in the region: "Who owns Warri?". 

The modern warri is largely made up of Urhoboland, with some parts of Itsekiriland. The cosmopolitan warri is 80% Urhoboland (extending to Delta Central LGAs such as Uvwie, Udu and Okpe). Traditional urhobo homesteads in warri include: Otovwodo, Ejeba, parts of Okere, Ugberikoko, Ogunu, Iyara, etc. while itsekiri areas in warri include Upper and Lower Erejuwa, parts of Okere, Ugbuwanugue, parts of Alder's town, NPA area, etc .

Warri Kingdom

The traditional "warri " is an Itsekiri enclave and the name is derived from the itsekiri word "Iwerre", right from the colonial time the itsekiri usually refers to their land as "Iwerre" or "Warri Kingdom" which is been headed by the "OLU" (LORD of all Iwerre land), it should be noted here that the Olu of warri has no influence over urhobo land or Ijaw land in warri .

The city of warri is fast developing and one should expect that in the next 15 yrs we should be on the same league with Lagos and abuja, warri has all what it takes to be the dubai of Nigeria, apart from her huge natural resources there are other potential if well harnessed will bring a huge development to warri, the warri port comes to mind.

Because in countries like this, is purely the Government vs Citizens or masses.


There's nothing like NCAN chapter or Afonja

There's nothing like Government vs yoruba, Igbo, or hausas.



When a country is so much divided, progress is far.
you forgot to add one more thing, the soldiers/police don't go about shooting unarmed civilians like we have here in Nigeria.

It's really a herculean task to find a spouse who'd stick around in a "No sex" relationship. At times I feel "Sex" is the sole reason why some people venture into relationships, while for some girls, it's sex and money. It'll take a lot of maturity to realize the thing "Sex" is overrated and once you cum you're back to square one, with or without regrets.

there are no poor people in my area, believe it or not, besides why can't I start with this child?
are you in Nigeria?, if yes then go to any orphanage, if no then People can help you distribute anything you sent in to the poor kids, for example you can send in those cloths yours kids are no longer wearing I myself can take it to most poor kids in my community, am from Delta.

So many ways to help to poor, most rich people don't just care about others, people are suffering, some people eat ones a day, sometimes people run here for help and we do donate for them, but due to scammers people no longer want to donate.

Start from somewhere, help the less privileged. thanks and God bless.

PoliticsRe: Group Faults Urhobo Inclusion In Biafra Map by Efewestern: 11:21pm On Jul 03, 2017
Urhobo Union says their people need to be consulted first.

Let them go and read the manifesto of Biafra which clearly states that Biafra shall be a country of Resource control and True federalism. That should be their consultation. No body can go from community to community consulting anybody for inclusion to Biafra.
amarabae in as much as I don't support fratermathy some times, statement like this will make him never back down, I think you are not been fair to him, instead of attacking him why not address the cause of the problem?

now look at what this one typed, I think this is an insult to the urhobo nation, meaning their opinion doesn't matter.

I made reference to it because of the record on history. In as much as , I don't want to engage people on historical connection to war on this forum because of the objective herein. Still on it, you can find written document to verify it and visit these environment to enquire; IFe, Ijebu and Ode Itsekiri(the elderly ones with knowledge on history) etc . Yoruba history showed who fought on both side. There was a treaty signed under the British colonialist during the war.Under the Balogun Onafowokan, was the whole soldiers from Ijebu – Itsekiri enclave fought. Some of the warriors came via itsekiri because of their expertise on bow and arrow. Then, on the Ijaw migrants to Ondo axis,can be clearly emphasize here that they speak Yoruboid language. This showed there that many are of Yoruba ancestry. Notwithstanding, I don't have disagreement against the identity they claim, because every human being has right to self identify. But I was just emphasising the difference between ijo in Ondo and the proper ijo in Bayelsa and its environs.
now you just gave me work to do grin, will research on that war, gat some elderly itsekiri men as friends, As for the Ijo in ondo I still believe they have nothing in common with yoruboid, Yoruba connection ends in itsekiri, those ijo enclave migrated there even up till now they still maintain the ijaw dialect with no mixture of Yoruba in it. Their dialect is very similar to the one spoken in Delta state, so I still believe ijo in ondo are not yoruboid.

Olu317:
Sorry for the late response, it was due to anti spamming stuff. Precisely to your perspective as it seems, on itsekiri people,the reality is that it was Nigeria created that it has taken away such opinion and people's identity from the new generation. Let me inform you that itsekiri fought on behalf of ILE IFE /Ekiti parapo during kiriji war. BINI didn't because it was not with any might. So, I understand your point but in truth they are largely Yoruba descendants. And if you say, they identify with Ondo axis, what grouping are the people in Ondo axis, especially the mentioned clans of yours? Even Arugbo/apoi in Ondo state speak Yoruboid language but claims Ijo (Izon/Ijawa). There is more that meet the eyes.
Can you provide a reference regarding the Kirji war, just hearing of such for the first time, no doubt the itsekiri are yoruha descendants but the people you call itsekiri today are collection of people who where united by a bini prince. need I remind you that most itsekiri communities claim direct connection with ijebu and others ilaje, why some claim few migrated from igala. so you see.

the itsekiri speak a language of yours but differ from you, they don't have same culture as you, don't behave as you, even the ilaje culture is entirely different from the ones in ogun.

I think I find it offensive trying to claim ijaw clan in ondo as Yoruba, those are ijaw migrant and their language is no way related to Yoruba, have met many of them.
