₦airaland Forum

NairalandHeroes:
Good morning, my vanquished kirigidi. I see your headless body is still doing own dance of pain. so many weak disses coming from you. You're a disgrace to Delta state.

Anyways, one thing I can guarantee you is that I will flog you here harder than your father has ever been able to fúck your mother.

Now for having the emboldened foolishness to still type rubbish after exposing your chronic illiteracy, especially the post below:


You should be reincarnated as grass for marauding cows to feed. That's the only way you can fulfill your puoprse.

And your mother should have her ovum surgically removed with a tetanus-infected knife to prevent that slow bîtxh from producing little retardéd imbecilés who burden the world with their mental sterility.

NairalandHeroes:
babies factory and baby's factory are grammatical the same?

You need to go back to your mother's pussy and be reborn. This time make sure she treats her vagina yeast that fried your brains out and birthed you a tad higher than chacma-baboons!

Imbecilé, baby's factory and baby factory are pardonably synonymous, but not babies factory!

Are you a decorated idiot?

NairalandHeroes:
Mother nature never gave any human sired by the drunken lackey you call father even average intelligence!

Even after 4 hours of making these imposing blunders, your brain couldn't see through your bloopers and make the necessary corrections before my arrival.

I'm not surprised, your slow-witted mother still has Wiz Kid as her DP at 64.
Don't make the error of boxing with me, I'm the reason your mother didn't honour her marital vows. Your father's dick was never able to fill up the circumferential void my dick left in her tight pussy.I deflowered her and her younger sister same night with the promise of taking her polio-stricken father under my charity.

Your father inherited my broken promises when he married her. And your life of attention-craving on Nairaland is a direct fallout of your father's marital frustrations!


Tough luck for you, kid.

NairalandHeroes:
yet in same post you used the word "baby's factory" and "babies factory"

Your father's creditors must have swapped your brain with that of a domesticated squirrel

NairalandHeroes:
Looooooooooolz, ok, so the English lessons is getting at you,you had to come up with a lame one? Capital letters!!! LMTAO

The stench of your mother's vagina is the most potent mosquito repellent!!!

NairalandHeroes:
even with the grammatical blunder ,you keep repeating only that boring line! You're waiting until your mother changes her cockroach-bitten pants before you change your boring disses?

Oya, take new one:

They say your family throws a celebratory party for any family member who manages to have a Nairaland account!

You're an imposing poster child for dumbness and stupidity.

And I'm not blaming you for your retardéd behaviour in this forum, you're only displaying what nature intended you to be--a malformed human with corrupted mental growth!

After all, your mother could only afford you goat milk at[b] infancy [/b]

NairalandHeroes:
Yet your parents were arguing what you were worth to ritualists!!!!

Mom valued you for a bottle of cooking oil and your dad bargained you for a bottle of snuff!!!

Go learn English construction properly before standing before me. Your entire life hasn't yielded any economic value more than the rags the village women used in cleaning off your mother's stinking afterbirth when she delivered you

Keep it coming

NairalandHeroes:
@Kirigidi you taking a bow like your father's bantam penís after 2 minutes insertion into your mother's putrid vagina?

NairalandHeroes:
Ask your mother why she paid her own bride price!!!

The answer will solve the lifelong conundrum of your oblique existence!!!

NairalandHeroes:
just because I chided you on your poor punctuation, you went on even displaying more incoherent write up


Your congenital stupidity is the chief factor that made your father's watering sperm survive the the acidic nature of your mom's ovum to birth and un-evolved baboon like you.


The only possible explanation for your analphabetism is that your mother had chronic staphylococcus which went untreated during your conception and it interfered with your congnitive development if that bîtch wasn't so dumb like a first class harlot, she should have swallowed the sperm that formed you,or direct onto her wrinkled laps to spare humanity the curse of your birth!

How can an idiot spam my moniker when he was being schooled by fellow Nairalanders and he asks what concerns me ?

Your father is the laughing stock of his community for marrying the cheapest LovePeddler who agreed to his lame pickup lines!

You're only exhibiting the rage of reality because your father has always doubted if you're his genuine son after your mother's notorious want of sexual discretion

Trying to text-jostle with me is putting your father's health at risk

You cannot box with your father's creditor! I will simply pull the plugs and you will be burdened with his corpse you lack the financial muscle to dispose of.

Be a good boy and be my bîtxh, in line with your father.

Product of cheap love!!!

NairalandHeroes:
The opinion of a category A doofus who can't even punctuate his sentences accurately.

And you want me to believe your background isn't akin to a cattle breeding grown where your household ration meat and other basic human necessities for survival?

You were humiliated by FredÓ6 and PrincemikkyÓÓ1 and your explanation for your dumb contribution to this thread was spamming my moniker? Your father must have fled home when he discovered you inherited every dumb and lazy molecular cells from your dick-swapping mother, who can't even remain sober for 5 minutes to remember the names of the street bums who buy her body at the price of a cold bottle water.

Vagabonding bastard looking for his failed life in Nairaland.

Product of a drunken fúck !!!

NairalandHeroes:
Oh, boy when your rational deficiency is pointed out to you , learn to learn and grow instead of spamming the moniker fearlez as if he were the medication to remedy your cognitive deficiency and mental collapse.

Petty tribal non-entity. Psychoneurotic brain-dead dweeb. You're being schooled and you're yaping fearlez like a demented wild pig.

fred06:
Hmmm...Kirigidi I told you that you should Google it...it is online...no need going to a lawyer's office to check for it..both cases are Supreme Court cases...it is on internet page now so Google it n get educated...

See I know u know the truth...but u are being petty... Which is unfortunate.. U seem to me to be a tribal racist...pardon my use of word... But I can't help it...you saw what princemikky001 posted it seems u are so pained but..why..we all should live together.

Apart from the Olodi Oki and Ighogbadu having possessory rights of 210 acres of land in Itsekiri area so also Ugbolokoso who are itsekiris have land in Uvwie in Effurun in Urhobo areas..
In okpe area you have Itsekiri communities n enclaves there you have Aja-guiyibo,Aja -gbodudu,. N others ...was the founder of Aja-guiyibo nit maternally from Aghalokpe?..and Parternally a Prince being a son of the Olu Akengbuwa.Olu of Warri (1795-1848)..

Majority of Urhobos and Itsekiris marry together...I ask u how many Urhobos do not have Itsekiri blood runing thru their veins n how many Itsekiris do not have Urhobo blood in them?...was Did Okumagba not give Itsekiri names to his children? Late Okumagba himself speaks fluent Itsekiri mind you...so wat is the fuss about now...

Please be matured n stop ur hatred..it will serve you no good...Thanks.

princemikky001:
Misleading how? U said u av no business with the Olu so why coming here to change title? U tlking abt documents I jst sited 1 4 u abt d coronation that was published on national paper or will u claim u weren't aware of that? Guy I see we all as 1 but dis unrepentant attitude of urs and deep grieving mind abt d itsekiri nation is bad I knw u will d9 that too that uve not in against d itsekiri nation but I knw deep within u from all uve said u are its in ur nature my guy change

Blue3k:
I didn't think getting population census was so hard till reading about Nigeria's dilemma.

princemikky001:
My bro u are if not y come here to say such by changing the title no need deceiving ursef my guy.
Let me tell u this if truely u say d so called tithe u mentioning here is correct pls tell the ppl here d reason why ur ppl didn't oppose the title OLU OF WARRI cos not too long ago Ogiame Ikenwoli was coronated as the OLU OF WARRI and even b4 d coronation there were publication abt it on national papers in nigeria y didn't u ppl opose it my guy abeg no come here come dey mislead ppl cos even during the coronation ur ppl were their wen he was coroneted as the OLU OF WARRI

princemikky001:
Haha so why come here to start saying olu of itsekiri if u not pained? Cos I c no reason of u making such statmnt cos the topic didnt speak any tin against u ppl so y change d tithe as u claimed if u not pained my bro tell dat to a lame person we knw ur type.

fred06:
I asked for you to show me documents in that regard for sale of the land where the Olu palace is located in warri by Okumagba...but you are talking of Olu of Itsekiri and Olu of warri...these are two different things.... Where is the document? Where is the proof?
Let me educate you a little..first of all...Prince Gbesimi Emiko became Olu of Warri called Erejuwa II ...after Ginuwa II Prince Ikebuwa Emiko...who was Olu of warri installed in1936..joined his ancestors of Kings...so Gbesimi Emiko was not Ginuwa II

In the colonial days there was a regent/administrator in the Warri kingdom mind you in the person of Chief Dore Numa..There were warrant chiefs appointed by the British Colonial government... Chief Dore Numa(head), Chief Ogbe Yonwuren, Mr Eyube..who died and later replace by Chief Egbe Yonwuren in 1901..

Also note that Dore Numa,Ogbe and Egbe were all royal bloodline descendant of Olu Akengbuwa who ruled from 1795-1848..as Olu of Warri and they were still custodians of the Lands in Warri... So even though there was an interregnum for over 80yrs when there was no king it never stopped the rights of the Olu of Warri. you should be aware of the cases Ometan .v. Dore Numa..1920s reported in (1934) 11NLR 18, Chief Sam Warri Esi .v. Chief Secretary of the Federation of Nigeria, Itsekiri communal land Trust(1973) 11SC 189 in 1930s all cases which involve the Agbarah,Igbudu n others which went to the supreme court...n the Overlordship rights of the Olu of Warri was asserted..

Mind you in the case of Chief Dore Numa .v. Olue in 1921...which is a case mentioned in the Urhobo Historical Society..which case was before the coronation of the Olu of Warri in 1936...the title of the Olu of Warri was emphasized in that judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria..as per Justice A.F Webber delivered on November 26, 1921...in the terms of settlement filed as Consent Judgment it is stated therein "He is the Olu or King of Warri"

I can get the copy of the judgment for you to be educated....u can also google it...

so pls get me the document where Okumagba sold the land where the Olu's palace is let me be educated too...
Or
Please hold ur peace...and don't mis-inform lovely people in this platform....!!!

#OPERATION BRING THE DOCUMENT ###..

princemikky001:
I just don't get it why is it that the tithe OLU OF WARRI pain u guys so so so much?
Now u coming u claiming that the palace of THE OLU OF WARRI was leased 4rm okumgba my bro this a public post so if u coming here to say such trash prove it according to fred06 provide documents and don't come here misleading ppl of other tribe reading this post (ppl that av great love and respect4 the OLU OF WARRI) and if u observed I used capita letter alltru while referring to the OLU OF WARRI cos the name is so Revered even far beyond d shores of Nigeria even by the QUEEN OF ENGLAND so my bro u guys should try and get it into ur thick skull and leav with it. Acordin to frelez u pained I get it but jst try and leav with it cos even ur fore fathers leved wit it

PointZerom:
Nice thinking.

It is unfortunate the way Hausas caged Nigeria using their military might even to the point of moving the capital to their region, with the same military might they created more states and LGAs in their region for their selfish interest.

fred06:
You are such a dumb to even know that the land where the Olu built his palace was purcahsed from the Okumagba Family of Okere-Urhobo during Colonial time the land documents are there up til date. Where in the world do you ses a king buy land from his tenants to build his palace?

Pls @ kirigidi....pls show us the documents or post it here the documents which the Olu of Warri bought land where the palace of the Olu of warri is? from okumagba family..
Pls I want to be educated...further because the only land Okumagba has possessory right in warri is 210acres they won in the supreme court..and it was Olodi, Oki and ighogbadu family that has the possessory right not only Okumagba in that case.

So please show us the document where a King Olu of Warri bought land from his subject..pls I want to know n see the documents... Not jus beer parlour rumor and talk...

I wish the whole nation will arise as enemies to this fulani herdsmen.

Pre emptive strike is not the exclusive right of anyone

Fearlez:
go and sin no more.

Fearlez:
Okay, you done slow down for me. No be all those gra-gra when you wan' form for me. Before. But make I still nack you the Okere style, you be small poking, you no reach.

Take am:

If parenthood were a licence, the urhobo tribe will be denied the right of existence as your parents would be denied the right to reproduce their genes. Just take a look at the slip of humanity they have to show for God's gift of life.

I'm not sorry to announce your mother is the cheapest item in Konga store with a discount for any buyer willing to add your dirty Little sister into the bargain.

By the time i finish word-flogging you, you will wish your mother's staphylococcus was strong enough to neutralise your daddy's ogogoro-charged sperm that formed a plonker like you.

Fearlez:


See painment there's no need to start my tribe as urhobos are at the bottom of the pool in Nigeria. A tribe that can't boast of any well-known city in Nigeria

Oya , I no get time for long post again. Since you done dey para , make I back you well:

The only reason you were born is because the bald floozie you called a mother never believed in using prophylactics. But now she believes in disowning a child who is a byword for failure even by a prostitute's standard.

Your mother should actually have her ovum surgically removed without anaesthesia and her pussy which takes more dick than Heathrow international airport takes aircraft sewn up leaving just a tiny orifice for urináry pipe

That's the sure way for the demented hooker to cease producing little bastards which are inferior to domestic dogs

your home is no better than a cattle breeding ground owned by two failed couples who are inherently inferior to chacma-baboons in breeding and by birth

When your mother eventually dies, the words; "Cold-blooded Dick Queen And cheapest whóre in Urhobo kingdom " should be crested on her gravestone

While your dad should be buried beside her with the words; " lackey cockold bondsman"

Your birth marks another proof that the factory of nature has grave error and your death will be another relief the earth shouldn't labour to hold the weight of another unproductive purge of nature.

You're still less than the value of a pig's dung . If it were possible you should go back to the factory of nature and be recycled as tissue paper to be used to wipe shiit off.

Your family is the living proof supporting Darwin's theory of evolution that humans evolved from baboons.

Your life hasn't even worth the smelly fluid your mother's pussy emitted in birthing a slip of humanity like you.

Breathing corpse!

Oya, get give me a quick reply again, let me blow you out.

Highly recommended idiot!

Fearlez:
Igbo man? Owó-eating loonie has been trying to fix me to another tribe
you have a baseless perception of yourself. How will I instigate you with itsekiri who are infinitely greater than you? That's doing itsekiri grave injustice by paring them with their subjects. Mother nature never equipped any urhobo with on equal footings with any of your neighbours. I came to state the truth and it is clear to every deltan that you people are thorough low-breed , lacking in family values, with nearly 70 percent of the population raised in polygamy with an absentee illiterate father who budgets more funds for his kain-kain than he does for the collective sum of his children's education. Petty lots.

South East? Are you trying to obscure my tribe by foolishly ascribing me to another region? It won't work. Your tribes men have no first class Nigerian king recognised in the committee of traditional rulers. Your towns are map-less. Urhobos are synonymous with polygamy, parental obscurities, wayword children, idol worshiping, poverty, illiteracy, underdevelopment, robbery, with communities who run parallel Government in their communities with young criminals.

You were slaves under Binis and still slaves today in Warri.

You mean two kings who sit behind the Olu of Warri in traditional meetings? You're a stupid plonker! Urhobos have no recognised kings in Warri. Yourself appointed idiots who who don't know their ancestral graves are old fools donned in traditional regalia to pass as kings. Thank God neither the Oba of Benin, or Olu of Warri or Obi Of Asaba, The Asagba of Asaba recognised any one of your self-appointed new generation thugs in traditional attire.



Your ancestors are the refugees and itinerant vagabond crawling on the earth's expanse as economic aasylum seekers in Warri. Your youth feed their mothers by illegal store rent collection from people doing legal businesses.

Empty bellowing idot!

OAUTemitayo:
Is anything wrong with the source I quoted?

OAUTemitayo:
Ownership of Warri
These sources you quoted did not confirm any judgement in favour of Itsekiri. Rather your sources were only trying to narrated the relationship among the three tribes in Warri, the causes of dispute and the several fights that have erupted among them over the years. In present time, the people of Warri have learned how to live in peace with one another, and not over irrelevant argument of who is a customary tenant or who owns the land because if at all there was any agreement made by their ancestors it was verbal and no document to prove it. Let peace reign.














Nigeria – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of
Ireland on 22 October 2010
Information on the following:
1. The similarities (if any) between Urhobo (alternatively “Sobo”) and Itsekiri
(alt. “Isekiri”; “Ishekiri”; etc.) language;
2. The similarities (if any) between Urhobo and Itsekiri
ethnicities/cultures/customs;
3. The distribution of Urhobo and Itsekiri populations; including whether
these groups live in the same towns/regions of Nigeria;
4. Whether there is any information on whether Itsekiri speakers can or do
speak Urhobo, and vice versa.
5. Whether there is conflict/co-operation between Urhobo and Itsekiri people
(groups or individuals), and to what extent.
A page on the Delta State Tourism website states:
“There are five ethnic groups in Delta State, namely Anioma, Ijaw, Isoko, Itsekiri and
Urhobo. Deltans speak a variety of languages and dialects but have nearly identical
customs, culture and occupations. These are easily identified in the courts of most
traditional rulers across the state.” (Delta State Tourism (undated) Delta State: The Big
Heart)
An entry on the Urhobo in The Peoples of Africa – An Ethnohistorical Dictionary states:
“The Urhobo (Uhrobo, Biotu, and the pejorative Sobo) people live in Bendel State in
Nigeria, primarily in the Western and Eastern Urhobo divisions. They are closely related
to the neighboring Edo people.” (Olson, James S. (1996) The Peoples of Africa – An
Ethnohistorical Dictionary. Westport, Greenwood Press. p.578)
A page on the Urhobo Association of New York, New Jersey & Connecticut website, in
a paragraph headed “People”, states:
“The Urhobo people are located in the present Delta State of Nigeria. They occupy the
southern portion of the Benin lowland and the floodplains and swamps of the petroleumrich
Niger delta. With a population of some two million people, the Urhobo people are the
5th largest ethnic group in Nigeria and constitute the largest single ethnic group in Delta








State.” (Urhobo Association of New York, New Jersey & Connecticut (undated) The
Urhobo People)
An entry on the Itsekiris in The Peoples of Africa – An Ethnohistorical Dictionary states:
“The Itsekiris (lsekivi, Ishekiris, Shekiris, Chekiris, Jekois, Ijekiris, Jekiris, Ichakiris,
Iweres, Irhobos, Warris, and Iselema-Otus) are an ethnic group living today on the
western side of the Niger River delta in Bendel State in Nigeria. They are concentrated
in the Warri and West Benin divisions…Today, the Itsekiris speak a Yoruba dialect.”
A page on the Ugbajo Itsekiri USA, Inc website states:
“The Itsekiri are a peculiar and unique people in the Nigerian Niger delta. They have
inhabited their homeland, which now constitutes the three Warri Local Government
Areas of Delta State, Nigeria, for centuries.” (Ugbajo Itsekiri USA, Inc (21 October 2010)
Who Are The Itsekiri?)
In a section titled “The Warri crisis over oil (section 2.1.5) an Amnesty International
report states:
“Violence in the Warri area has escalated significantly since 1997, and particularly in the
last two years. The cosmopolitan town of Warri has grown in significance, size and
population since the discovery of oil. Competition for control of local government in the
town and attendant royalties from oil companies, jobs and contracts has exacerbated
tensions between Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo populations. Itsekiri dominance of the region
goes back to their privileged position with European traders as middlemen in the trade in
slaves and later palm oil. The Itsekiris date their claim to Warri from the 15th century and
cite court judgments including from the Privy Council, a final Court of Appeal under UK
colonial rule. In 1936 they declared the Olu (king) of Itsekiri to be the Olu of Warri, a
claim recognized by the colonial government in the 1950s. After the discovery of oil,
companies reached agreements with the Olu of Warri, depriving other communities of
benefits. The Ijaws and Urhobos say that some local court judgments in the dispute were
obtained fraudulently, and that they have lived in Warri as long as the Itsekiris. In 1996
the local military administration created a new local government area, Warri Southwest,
with its headquarters in Ogbe Ijoh, an Ijaw town. The subsequent overturning of this
decision by the federal military government, which moved the headquarters to
Ogidigben, an Itsekiri town, provoked riots. In 2003, over 500 Itsekiris and several
hundred Ijaws died as conflict returned.” (Amnesty International (November 2005) Ten
years on: Injustice and violence haunt the oil Delta)
In a section titled “Delta State: The Ownership Controversy in Warri” a Human Rights
Watch report states:
“In and around Warri, the Niger Delta’s broader problems have become inextricably
bound up with a long-running controversy over who the “true indigenes” of the city are.
Warri is home to three different ethnic groups that each claim to be the town’s true
'owners'—the Ijaw, the Itsekiri and the Urhobo, and each has compiled elaborately
detailed treatises detailing their historical and demographic claims upon the place. Each
group has made some attempt to claim that they were the first to settle the area, and
each group has made claims about their demographic strength that are rejected by their










neighbors.” (Human Rights Watch (25 April 2006) "They Do Not Own This Place":
Government Discrimination Against "Non-Indigenes" in Nigeria, p.55)
This section of the report also states:
“Only the Itsekiri have been successful in asserting their claim to be the true indigenes of
Warri. All three of Warri’s Local Government Areas are run by predominantly Itsekiri
administrations and Warri’s representative in the federal National Assembly is also an
Itsekiri, a fact that the town’s Urhobo and Ijaw residents believe has resulted in the
economic and political marginalization of their communities.” (ibid, p.55)
This section of the report refers to intercommunal violence in Warri as follows:
“Since 1997 Warri’s ‘ownership’ controversy has given rise to a series of intercommunal
clashes that have claimed hundreds of lives. In 1997 hundreds of people were killed in
clashes sparked by the creation of a new LGA, Warri Southwest; the location of its
headquarters, and the swearing-in of local officials to that LGA administration, helped
spark renewed fighting in 1999. In the last large-scale outbreak of violence, in 2003,
several hundred people were killed over the course of several months in clashes
triggered initially by a dispute over the delineation of electoral wards in Warri. At the time
of Human Rights Watch’s last visit to Warri in December 2005, a fragile peace was in
place, but many community and youth leaders on all sides felt that it could not be
expected to hold unless the issue of ownership was resolved to their group’s
satisfaction.” (ibid, pp.55-56)
This report refers to perceived Urhobo grievances as follows:
“All three of Warri’s local government areas are under predominantly Itsekiri
administrations. The Urhobo and Ijaw youth leaders interviewed by Human Rights Watch
were unanimous in their belief that these local governments systematically exclude their
communities from access to jobs, educational opportunities, and even basic government
services, choosing instead to lavish all of their resources upon ethnic Itsekiri.” (ibid, p.56)
In a section titled “Background” a Human Rights Watch report states:
“Since before Nigeria’s independence in 1960 there have been tensions surrounding the
arrangements for the government of the region surrounding Warri, the second most
important oil town in Nigeria after Port Harcourt. Warri itself, the largest town (though
not the capital) of Delta State, is claimed as their homeland by three ethnic groups: the
Itsekiri, the Urhobo, and the Ijaw. The Itsekiri, a small ethnic group of a few hundred
thousand people whose language is related to Yoruba (one of Nigeria’s largest ethnic
groups), also live in villages spread out along the Benin and Escravos Rivers into the
mangrove forest riverine areas towards the Atlantic Ocean. The Urhobo, a much larger
group numbering some millions related to the Edo-speaking people of Benin City, live in
Warri town and to the north, on land.” (Human Rights Watch (17 December 2003) The
Warri Crisis: Fueling Violence, p.3)
In a section titled “Violence in 2003” this report states:







“The latest round of violence began in early 2003, during the lead up to state and federal
elections held in April and May (local government elections have still not been held
anywhere in Nigeria since 1999). On the weekend of January 31 / February 1, there was
fighting in the Okere district of Warri town between Itsekiris and Urhobos, during
primaries being held for the Delta South senatorial district by the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP), the incumbent party in both Delta State and at federal level. The dispute
centered on the number of wards making up the district, and the boundaries between the
wards, which Urhobos alleged disadvantaged them. According to local accounts and
press reports, Urhobo youths attacked an Itsekiri area on the afternoon of January 31,
and began to loot and burn property. Itsekiri youth collected at the stadium where the
primary voting was taking place then retaliated in response to reports of this raid. Over
the next couple of days most of a large estate belonging to Chief Benjamin Okumagba,
the traditional ruler of the Urhobo in Warri, was destroyed. Government soldiers
intervened during the initial Urhobo attack on the Itsekiri neighborhood, and one soldier
was reportedly killed in this confrontation. Urhobo witnesses to the events alleged that
soldiers patrolling the Okumagba estate were withdrawn before the Itsekiri attack. There
were other reports of random shooting or executions by the armed forces during efforts
to quell the fighting. Estimates of the number of dead over the few days of violence
ranged from twelve to two hundred. The Nigerian Red Cross reported that more than
6,000 people had been displaced.” (ibid, pp.5-6)

available to the Refugee Documentation Centre within time constraints. This response
is not and does not purport to be conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to
refugee status or asylum. Please read in full all documents referred to.

onuwaje:
the issue concerning the ownership of Warri is as a result of non documentations of agreement between the said parties. but who we go blame na... lol


that wud av gone a long way

OAUTemitayo:
Efewestern I very much respect you a lot.
I will want us to make this discussion an intellectual one so that we can all enjoy and gain from it.
I propose we use Rule of Law as the substance and fact in our argument.
If there exists disagreements between two or more people over the ownership or an item, I believe there are constitutional authorities to resolve it.
Do you believe court judgements?
Do you believe in rule of law?.
Let us start from their

onuwaje:
a huge part? i wud say just a fraction given the old airstrip that was there


if u are blended in modern history of Warri u will know that the ownership of many towns and settlements were decided by Supreme court cases both pre-colonial and post colonial eras.


places like Okumagba Layout, The area where Hussey College is located just to mention a few

OAUTemitayo:
The supreme court judgement gives most of Warri to Itsekiris.
