Actually it is only Keyamo and Agege in politics and anything federal for Urhobos (largest tribe in delta with communities in Bayelsa). I don't consider a senator (like the one from delta central) here because it is more or less a given. Any tribe with a senatorial district must be there. For Itsekiri, in terms of politics, I do not know. But in terms of federal level, they have Professor Itse Esanjumi Sagay (appointed by Buhari as the chairman
for presidential advisory committee) and Amaju Pinnick, president of Nigerian Football Federation. Note, Itsekiri is the smallest tribe in Delta. Now, ask yourself, which one do you think has achieved in past and present Nigeria? Note that one of the Urhobo(agege) stole a mace to get there.

Note: prof sagay studied in cambridge. He was the first Nigerian to graduate with a 2.1 in a Nigerian institution. He is the only qualified and first dean of law in uniben back then.


Itsekiris have made great stride for small their population. They had the first finance minister, first communication minister, there was Pa alfred rewane. Let that sink into your garri drinking head.

stop playing the smallest tribe now. you were so bold with education, civilization, influential, and literacy previously, so continue with that.
I have responded about Urhobo in the educational sector. I won't repeat myself.

DSP position and SP position are not given for free.
stealing a mace, he is not the first. the important thing is who is he now. that all am about.

Professor Itse Esanjumi Sagay, with all the influence and small votes fro your communities, it is not a bad position. now clap for yourself

for the past a present so many

you are too blind to see



prof sagay studied in cambridge. He was the first Nigerian to graduate with a 2.1 in a Nigerian institution. He is the only qualified and first dean of law in uniben back then. OK, EVEN FIRST 2.1 JOIN AS AN ACHIEVEMENT. YOU MUST BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT CELEBRANT MEDIOCRITY. SO MANY NIGERIAN AFTER HIM HAVE STUDIED ALSO IN CAMBRIDGE. SO? BACK THEN WHEN THERE WAS SCARCITY BUT REVERSE IS THE CASE NOW. HOW ISHEKIRIS ARE DEAN IN UNIBEN. your past should be all you have. if that is it, then we shouldn't be having this conversation in the first as you have proven me right so many times that all you have is just MOUTH AND PAPER.


Itsekiris have made great stride for small their population. WITH INFLUENCE AND I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE STRIDES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT


Let that sink into your garri drinking head. I AM 100% SURE YOU AND YOUR LINAEGAE HAVE NEVER TASTED GARRI. talking NONSENSE.

Renowned itsekiris are Dr Bismarck rewane nigeria's best economist,omatsola of bbn,omawumi,billionaire emami ayiri,NFF president Melvin amaju pinnick

omashola sef na renowned. gosh no shame
all these claims of influence, educated all na wash
so pathetic

BILLIONAIRE ayiri, oil theft mogul, i hear you.

Dr Bismarck rewane, best economics, who gave him that title. nowhere on the internet was he refers to as the best.

Sorry,I thought mofe damijo is an itsekiri name

definitely given by his mother, so what

senatordave1:


Warri south west LGA gave buhari that highest votes in delta.ugborodo ward gave buhari 24,000 votes,the highest by a ward in southern nigeria

really!
the number of eligible voters are not even up to 24, 000 in that community. but rigging made that possible of course through ayiri

what is ishekiri influence in apc today? i guess noting
so what is your point
what have you even benefitted from the buhari sef
wasted votes
buhari just used you guys
m\atleast that is an achievement

Where is actor rmd from

I think its an African thing to assume the tribe of your father

Datazone:


It is crystal clear that you don't live in Sapele. Your orodje made a declaration that no other ethnic group should carry out their festival yet Itsekiris did that and nothing happened. And don't bring up that senatorial district, that's politics. The isokos in delta south are practically useless there and an Itsekiri was your governor for eight good years. Dumb ass

who made him the governor, Urhobo man
with all the so called influence

now get out

Datazone:

I asked you, apart from agege, a known criminal which Urhobo man can you call in terms of federal politics? For a tribe with the largest population in Delta state. You don't need to be famous or you cannot be famous? Be succinct and clear. You don't have to rubbish someone else because you are not there yet. Buhari is going to rule a third tenure? Dumb statement from you when you talked of "rethink". In terms of politics before 1999, Itsekiris were strong. But like I said before, we have lost our grip on Warri and every other thing. But it won't be for too long. In terms of education, Google prof Grace alele Williams

presently Festus Keyamo as the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, DSP ovie omo-agege, that's for this administration. and another federal house representative in the red chambers. there might be more as I don't follow politics religiously.

as useless as you are you dare call the DSP criminal. what about your useless PM of ishekiri. only God knows what the heck that means a known criminal who made his money from BUNKERING, which he did successfully after serving as a house boy to Ibori. prime minister my foot. number two man in ishekiri an active criminal and illiterate. so much for the most civilized and educated tribe. I hail o!


your turn, name any ishekiri who is active in federal politics presently, in this administration?


yeah, the largest tribe in delta state. YES! if I were you I will thread carefully. watch out!

I will restate my position on being famous. it means nothing to me. I am not ishekiri that clout chase. not in my DNA

yeah sure he is not going for third tenure that is a fact but if he were definitely he would make that same mistake again

grace alele Williams, yeah, I won't rubbish people who have excelled in their chosen field
but come on, with all your galavanting all over the thread, this is all. you can as well keep SHUT

Itsekiri is like the ijaw. They move to anywhere, settles there and claim it.

exactly! same people

moses718:
Illiteracy has grown to the highest height in urhobo land.
If not for I jaw and Itsekiri no one will even hear of URHOBO, so just shut up.

please elaborate
how has ishekiri and ijaw made Urhobo known.

provide facts about how illiteracy has grown to its highest height in Urhobo.

provide facts or forever remain silent

Datazone:

Like a typical nonentity. Inasmuch as Itsekiris, a minority is ahead and in some areas at par with Urhobos it says a lot about them. None of your silly priorities will ever make you known or rich as Reno. You have your priorities straight yet you know what he does on Instagram when I don't even know, get out please. Roaming around, like a true Urhobo girl you call it but you don't know that's why the Itsekiris will always be ahead of you guys. Yet when Buhari was campaigning, the Olu of Warri was the first king he visited in Delta. You haven't answered any of my questions, just trying to rubbish Itsekiri as usual. Pathetic

what questions have you asked? you have said absolutely nothing.
I don't need to be famous, nothing else to say about this.
well, I follow instablog, (a well-known blog on Instagram, even as a civilized being you don't know it) that is where his relationship advice is being featured for gullible people, not like he makes sense. that is what is giving him some relevant. at least that will keep him occupied,its better than when he was always crying around over Jonathan's loss.

influence definitely means asslicking to ishekiri. thumbs up. so we can now agree that the influence ishekiri have is just from asslicking only. well, I don't expect anything different since you don't have anything to offer.

I guess with all the influence from ishekiri, you were able to give buhari a substantial votes. NO. so useless. I guess he will have a rethink next time.

what areas are you guys ahead? more specific

if its education I have addressed that already

darfay:



These are much o, haba
Aren't there itsekiri in ughelli North and South?
When I was in Delta last year, someone said oghara was itsekiri. Is like you now outnumber Urhobos there?
We need peaceful coexistence

don't mind that Pathological liar. all these are false.
maybe some few families living there
before you digest any information go to the communities and get first-hand information
the truth is ishekiri has no claim to any land in delta state

Datazone:

You have just succeeded in committing fallacies. You cannot disregard my claim, you then have to rubbish it, fallacious. Listen, in terms of literacy, the Itsekiris trounce the Urhobos. In fact, they were the first civilised in the region. I am saying this with respect to their first graduste, it affected them if that's what you are asking.
And check Nigeria's first communication minister (chief Arthur prest) and who is Nigeria first finance minister. What have Urhobos achieved in spite of their population? It is a shame that Itsekiris have been this influential in Nigeria yet your olodo people are still sieving garri. If not for the recent agege appointment, what is the stake of Urhobos in Nigerian politics? I meant to say former governor not incumbent. It's a fact that Urhobos have more illiterates than Itsekiris. In terms of dominance, you should argue constructively with regards to their population. Reno omokri is popular than anyone in your LGA, including your family. That's a fact, nothing personal. So he's a treasure to many.

first of all, reno is a nobody, not to talk about politics. someone that is still over the loss of his former boss, who had moved on already. who takes him serious I guess only the ishekiris. who was he before Jonathan's appointment. why should I care about popularity, we all have our own priorities.

of all the dominance, literacy, education, and civilization that you claim to have the only treasure that ishekiri can boast of today is reno. what a shame!

civilization, literacy, education? what have you guys done with it? how has it impacted the present-day ishekiri. with all the years of literacy, you guys are still nothing in the education sector. absolutely nothing just paper. that all you know.

Urhobos started late in the educational sector but we are catching up really fast. nothing to be ashamed of.


so please spare me the literacy bullshit

ishekiri are not the only people with minister appointments we have had our fair share even during Jonathan's tenure.

ishekiri are influential in what when ? it is the roaming around by your king to Yoruba and Benin kings that makes you influential? rubbish
always ass licking. today you guys are Yorubas, tomorrow you are Benin, always roaming about. anywhere belle face people

Datazone:

You said "who sabi una?" Haha. Itsekiris, though a minority have made serious impacts in Nigeria as a whole. I can list many of their achievements. The first graduate in Nigeria is an Itsekiri. The first graduate king in west Africa is also an Itsekiri. Google "Olu Antonio Dom Domingos" The first church in Nigeria is in Itsekiri land. I wouldnt want to go into early politics in Nigeria and all that but in terms of Delta state politics, Itsekiri is alive and kicking. The incumbent governor is an Itsekiri. Itsekiris have a strong hold in theri areas. At federal level we have some appointments as well. We all know Prof Itse sagay and Reno Omokri. If not for the recent Agege position, Urhobos, though a majority have been useless. Imagine a small tribe like Itsekiris giving the Urhobos a run for their money. Pathetic

first graduate bullshit. with all the education, what has that accounted for you guys. still useless as ever. with the first graduate, bullshit you people should have taken a place in the education and intellectual sector of Nigeria but no, just the name first graduate.

first church, so what. how many churches do you guys dominate apart from ayo church?

the incumbent governor really? I could have noticed before now that you are so dumb and stupid. when did okowa become an ishekiri.
uduagha and the other ishekiri should be grateful for that position because without ibori,an Urhobo man, you couldn't have smelled that position

federal appointment like which one? I hope you are not including elected positions from your wards which is normal

of all the so called dominance only two ishekris that you could cough out
imagine calling reno as a politician and pride in ishekri. for your information, he is now a relationship expert on Instagram. he is always features on instablog.
the prof satay, who is he in national politics

well, ishekiri should thank God for oil, that is just all about it for you guys,
delta state politics, you should be more specific, not shrewing out words like a mad woman.

Datazone:

The reality today is that Itsekiris have lost the grip they once had in Warri. Sad, but true. You claim Itsekiris don't have lands in Delta Central yet you want Itsekiris to accept your claim of land in Warri. Even Efewestern who is far knowledgeable than you acknowledged the fact that Itsekiri communities do exist in Delta Central. I know you're still a child but it pains me when you don't want to shut up and learn from your elders. The people you claim to be water people are part of the people who signed the treaty of the British and almagation of Nigeria. Where was the dominant and might urhobo in all of these? Shut up my dear and learn. Itsekiris have played politics and out of their benevolence lost their lands and grip on you lot.

with all the so called dominance who have since God knows when, where has it taken ishekiri today?
who are ishekieri in Nigeria politics
who sabi una
dominance on paper
please take several seats
always claiming what was never yours
you lost grip because it did not belong to you in the first place

Mumu post. Go claim the land wey you say be your own na. If your body go follow you reach house. Itsekiris are the one leading the warri south you claim Urhobos are a majority. Sound very stupid to me.

same as your claim of land in delta central sounds very stupid

whoever controls land before independence doesn't matter to me. what is the reality today?

You are a complete idiot. Those towns are not Itsekiri communities but bear Itsekiri names? In fact, just shut up. How is Urhobo a majority in Warri South? Urhobo is a majority in Warri South yet they are not under Delta South Senatorial District. You know why?


Take note, uvwie and Udu is not Warri South. Get your facts right. You claim Urhobos are majority in Warri south. Ask yourself, who's the chairman and rep?

you are a big fool
I did not include Uvwie and Udu when I said that Urhobos are the majority in Warri.

names can be changed, so that is not a proof

Datazone:

Lol. You are a comedian. There's Ugberikoko is Sapele as well, owned and dominated by the Itsekiris. If not for the Itsekiris, most of Urhobo towns would still be villages. A case study is Sapele. You have not been able to provide proof, just unverified hearsay.

why don't you go and turn your lands to cities then
but no, ishekiris don't have lands in delta state

Datazone:

My friend, do not post if you have nothing to contribute. I listed over 10 communities and 2 were under dispute yet you ignored the others which were correct. What do you have to say about this below?

none of this communities belongs to ishekiri, the fact that some of you live there doesn't change anything. I don't even blame you, I blame the indigenes who out of generosity allowed your people to stay there.

come and collect federal appointments. thieves!
how many federal appointments do Urhobos in Warri south have, being the majority in Warri south.

Efewestern:


Ughoton?
Aghalokpe?
...

These communities are in Okpe and are pure Okpe towns, Ughoton is a stone throw from Jeddo and it's 100% Urhobo.

Next time do a proper finding, you have locals online you know.

just like her fellow ishekiri, they are all full of lies

always claiming lands that don't belong to them. I don't even know why they still occupy those communities in Uvwie and Sapele. Urhobo needs to come together and drive this people away.
ungrateful people

I see the way Hausa_fulani have taken over many places in Warri to the extent that on Fridays they block main road to pray.
They even blocked market road on market day and nothing happened.
They lay mats in your own roads and you did nothing.

Thank you very much - Canada was colonized by Britain, today they are a G-8 country (Great - actually the British drove out the aborigins from their native land - Canada did not continue to blame Britain, today they are a great country. United States was colonized by Britain, today its a fairly great country. China and India too were colonized - today they are great countries. In all of Africa that was colonized, not one single developed country!

Good question you asked about after independence - all the things Nigerians are doing after independence to themselves like looting is not as a result of colonialism.

We have been hearing stories of racism in the United States recently and China was recently maltreating Africans - lots of Indian and Chinese business owners maltreat Nigerians here in Nigeria - even Trump openly disrespects Africans.

The question is can the black man ever develop their lands independently - is there hope?

Yes, we can but its a long shot
First, we have to ripped off all the lies we used to tell ourselves like we used to be great, white people are our problem, that the system was designed for Africans to be poor. All the blame game needs to stop. Acceptance of the truth is paramount no matter how bitter it is. Depending on how painful the truth is, we can start demanding from our government. This is not a case of mobilizing youth, at that point, nobody will beg nobody to go out to protest. The pain must be strong enough to want better. Electricity and security are major factors in every country who wants to be taken seriously. we must act now, now that we still have free money to throw around #oilmoney.
For infrastructure, of course, expatriate can be called in since we don't have the technical know-how.

self-importance is a major factor, people treat you the way you treat yourself. Some Nigerian men abroad always boast of how white women are falling for them because of their diiik and how fresh their skin is and how they will never want anything to do with a black woman. All they are to those white women are sex objects noting more. This is part of the problem, black against black nobody says about.

Building a stable middle-class society especially in this era of the internet. All this can boost the image of a black man.

Grandmeister:

You're right for the most part expect that jesus wasn't really white, more like brown..

the color of his skin doesn't matter.

Muna4real:


You are the one that is poor and powerless and not me. They hate the skin color and that's it. I told you to try bleaching

Africans are poor and powerless
that is the plain truth
the earlier we accept the better

Muna4real:


Not all whites are intelligent as you think. There are some of them that took a long time to develop. Yet they are not treated differently. What of the innocent black Americans who are citizens of the country? Are they not also affected by racism? They have achieved alot in America. From sports to academics ,they have shown their worth. Yet they are being treated differently. What did they do? Did they borrow anything from the whites? Or should we look at the killings in South Africa at that time. When they were just shooting children the way they like . Did those children do anything to them?

Please don't cover stupidity. They just hate blacks and that was why they called them black Monkeys immediately the met them. They hate the color okay. All you have to do is to bleach and then you will see the automatic difference

I'm not saying you should bleach ohh

we are poor and powerless hence the hate. we do that all the time, we look down on people beneath us, especially people from wealthy families. human and prejudice!

BigBashiru:


Even if it was by force, it shows the blacks had zero planning - they could not build an armed forces - and the fact that every single black african country was colonized and no black african country e.g. morocco was able to colonize italy shows blacks were docile!

Its time to stop giving excuses.

North African countries are Arabs not Africans
the original owners of those lands were chased out during ottoman empire
