Your submissions are correct.

WarriAproko:
The Truth is this the title is been rubbished and that will cost a future bustle. Hope he is not Asasinated like Rewane.

Alfred Osibakoro Rewane who was assassinated in Lagos - the rich business Mogul was the younger brother of the Ologbotsere, Chief Ogbemi Newe (O.N.) Rewane. I pray they find a resolution soon!

Utieyinoritsetsola- The backing of God creates wealth

Chai what a deep name.
To be very frank, Yoruba might have one or two things to learn from Itsekiri, seems they possess more depth in their names and words composition than us. Th

Most eastern Yoruba groups have something similar. Utileyinorisasola, Itileyinorisasola, etc. or proper Yoruba: Itileyinolorunsola

Are AGBARHA & OKERE URHOBO;EFFURUN & UVWIE & UGBORIKOKO with the prestigious UGBORIKOKO Secondary school.are they ITSEKIRI DOMAINS? or proudly urhobo ovuovo domains
Not to mention OGBE-IJOH (if spelling is correct);GBARANMATU,ISABA to mention but a few.IS THAT AN ITSEKIRI DOMAIN?
are they not located in Warri?
Some urhobo communities in warri south!
1.idimi sobo
2.agbassa
3.edjeba
4.okere-urhobo
5.ogunu
Warri has an itsekiri domain;urhobo domain & IJaw domain all ruled by three kings whatever their effing titles may be.
OLU OF WARRI does not king over Agbarha,Okere Urhobo or urhobo owned lands of Warri. Just as king of Ijaws does not king over itsekiri owned lands of warri. Any trespass would result in another warri crises replay

No one is laying claim to Effurun, besides Effurun is in Uvuwie Local Government. The fact the Itsekiris accommodate other tribes in Warri Kingdom does not mean that they can posses it. Warri South, North and South West remains Itsekiri Kingdom just as Burutu, Bomadi and Patani is for the Ijaws.

Yea. All Head should come together for a better understanding instead of been bitter. Just for future occurrences and no division of the kingship.

Now I know I'm speaking with a kid. So you don't know it was a procession you Itsekiris held and encroached into Effurun that caused the crisis then? By the way who told you those you mentioned don't hold processions?

Well kid be gone! Olu of warri can only be in your imaginations

Effurun (Uvuwie) was never part of Warri Kingdom just that Uvuwie is just too close to Warri and Industrialization and development has made it look like one entity. Uvuwie is an Uhrobo land and Itsekiris do not lay claim to it.
So can you say Ogun state is Laying claim to Lagos State because they are now interwoven? No bro everyone knows his boundaries.

Gbaranmatu;Isaba and Ogbe ijoh are exclusively IJaw domains in Warri subject to lJaw king-Pere
Itsekiri domains are subject to king-OLU
Awo changed the traditional title of the Olu of Itsekiri to the Olu of Warri.

The court ruling states unequivocally that the Olu of Warri is a mere titular appellation and his over-lord's powers are limited to Itsekiri traditional homesteads.
OLU OF WARRI CAN ONLY KING OVER ITSEKIRI OIL WELLS OF WARRI & ITSEKIRI OWNED LANDS OF WARRI.
Warri belongs to itsekiris;urhobos & ijaws.
Itsekiris;urhobos & Ijaws all have oil.3 indigenous people;3 different tribes,3 different languages.3 different people subject to 3 different kings & they all know their boundaries. If anybody trespasses his boundary,it would be another Warri crises replay.
ASK WHY YOUR PROMINENT ISTEKIRI KING & CHIEFS WITH THEIR VERY PROMINENT TITLES CANNOT KING OR CHIEF OVER URHOBO OR IJAW OIL WELLS OF WARRI OR THEIR COMMUNIITIES

P.S The name "Warri" was coined by a Portuguese explorer and has no origin with the Itsekiri titular name of "Iwere". This is a historical fact. Furthermore, other names of places in the Warri Axis such as "Forcados" were also colonial coinages. TRADITIONAL WARRI WAS NOT IWERE in itsekiri.NEITHER WAS IT WARE in IJaw

Warri is made up of three local government areas; Warri South LGA which is dominated by the Urhobos of Okere and Agbassa and the Itsekiris, Warri South West which is dominated by Ijaws and Itsekiris and Warri North which is mainly dominated by the Itsekiris with Ijaws as well.
The ijaws,urhobos & itsekiris of warri all have different traditional rulers with trsditional titles in today's traditional warri.
The name "Warri" was coined by a Portuguese explorer and has no origin with the Itsekiri titular name of "Iwere". This is a historical fact.

- In pre-colonial and colonial times, there was a marked division of territory in Warri. The Ijaws occupied the islands and shores in the Warri South West Axis, the Itsekiris occupied the islands and mainlands close to the coastal areas in Warri South and North while the Urhobos occupied the hinterland with the exception of Okere-Urhobo and Agbassa urhobo who occupied coastal regions
- The Agbassa (Agbara-Ame) People of Warri South Local Government Area were migrants to Warri from their home town of Agbarha-Otor just like the Idjerhe(Jesse) and Oghara people of Ethiope West.
NA URHOBO;IJAW & ITSEKIRI LAND the Portuguese dash Warri. The British moved itsekiri OLU traditional palace from ode-itsekiri to Warri mainland.
The Olu of warri is the monarch of ITSEKIRIS ONLY. so he can add OLU OF NIGERIA to his title should he want & copyright it also.THE URHOBOS,IJAWS Of WARRI.do not give a fvck about the title of the king of the ITSEKIRIS OF WARRI as far as he sticks to collecting royalties from ITSEKIRI BOUNDARY ONLY & ITSEKIRI OWNED OIL WELLS ONLY
The Olu or Ogiame (King) of Warri now only rules the Itsekiri people living in the town of Warri in the Delta State of Nigeria as a traditional leader..

Neddyogu:


The mere classification of Okere as an Urhobo domain shows u know little about Warri. So no point continuing the conversation. Ogunu, Ugbuwangwe and Co are Itsekiri enclaves. The truth is that old warri has become a melting pot and the lines have become blurred. But ask urself this question; Why are all recognized warri chiefs Itsekiri? Even Okumagba had some itsekiri connection.

what is and Co?

U must be really crazy to say Ogunu is an itsekiri enclave.

tell me one notable itsekiri man from Warri city dead or alive and I will mention names of urhobos from Warri city

But urhobo are fund of taking itsekiri land, look at what u guys are doing in odion road.

Some of u have secretly start naming some part of odion road, odion urhobo. Over the next few yrs u will later claim odion urhobo is ur land and concocting one story.

I understand the itsekiri land n urhobo land have developed n merge together, but still u guys are not being truthful. The name warri was coined from iwerre. U don't expect us to drop out name simply because other people now live amongst us.

Fooolishbuharri:


When you finish bleating, I challenge you to go to Effurun or Ekurede Urhobo or even Alaka to say your nonsense Olu of piss and sh1t

The mofuka Wan bundle all of us to pay obeisance to their fraudulent stool of power. Make una come Agbasa come do rally say una Olu die na weda una no go follow am

Lol, funny enough u guys chased agbasa from agbara, u cared them out, it was the olu of warri that had mercy on them and gave them that land today, u are talking about agbasa as if they were in good terms with urhobo, if not that agbasa youth are not learned, their loyalty is supposed to with the people that help them out not the people that cast them out, u really should go n read about agbasa n how the olu help them.

Nairalandmonika:

Go and learn history, warri is a kingdom, the kingdom expanded, other communities around develop n has merge together, that's whats causing the confusion.

i read Ola Rotimi's historical drama book, Overaenwen Nogbaisi.
As at 1897 when the british troops invaded benin empire and bundled the oba to calabar, warri was part of benin empire. And the people they mentioned in the book were the itshekiri nation. Chief Ologbosere was from Warri, strong man.
It's in the book that it was stated that akure was part of benin empire.
So when then was warri a kingdom?

If The name Warri was coined from itsekiri iwerre,or Wari(home or house)in ijaw.No tribe has been able to prove it in a court of Law.l advise you to go to a court of Law & help the itsekiris to prove it so that it can be upheld by the CJN.
Cos the portuguese coined the name 'Warri'. even 'Forcados'. & the portuguese & Europeans who remain strangers till eternity were fond of jumping from people's land to other people's land & calling it Warri for administrative purposes.
The original palace of OLU was at Ode-itsekiri.

And as for your claim of IJaws laying claim to some itsekiri lands & itsekiris accusing ijaws of laying claim to some ijaw lands or urhobo accusing ijaws of laying claims to some of their lands.
I was not there with their ancestors to really know who is lyeing.we do not want more replays of warri crises
An itsekiri would tell you ijaw stole some of their lands .l dont know who is lyeing.e nor concern me.ma papa nor be the king of any part in today's warri or wafftown & my papa nor get any land talkless of somebody stealing it yet although he is planning on buying some lands soon.So if ur papa is ODION & somebody is claiming his land in ODION road.Na una two sabi.. Odion sounds like urhobo word for 'elder',tho.elder should be odion in urhobo language.
We have 3 tribes in Warri : Ijaws, Itsekiris and the Urhobos.
And all the 3 tribes have their kings.
The Urhobos have Kings in Warri
The Ovie of Agbarha-Warri and the Okere-Urhobo.
The Ijaws have king Pere of Ogbe-Ijaw.
The Itsekiris have the Olu of Warri.
TRUTH REMAINS NA PEOPLE LAND;PIPU PAPA LAND.THE ALMIGHTY COLONISING FOREIGNERS DEY CARRY JUMP THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES ENTER TO CALL WARRI .URHOBO,IJAW & ITSEKIRI LANDS.
so everybody knows their boundary
NA URHOBO;IJAW & ITSEKIRI LAND the Portuguese dash Warri. The British moved itsekiri OLU traditional palace from ode-itsekiri to a fvcking Warri mainland-yet,more people's papa & fatherland. .Even the full delta state was one time a fvcking 'warri province' under the colony and protectorate of Southern Nigeria.
The Olu of warri is the monarch of ITSEKIRIS ONLY. so he can add OLU OF NIGERIA to his title should he want & copyright it also.THE URHOBOS,IJAWS Of WARRI.do not give a fvck about the title of the king of the ITSEKIRIS OF WARRI as far as he sticks to collecting royalties from ITSEKIRI BOUNDARY ONLY & ITSEKIRI OWNED OIL WELLS OF WARRI ONLY

Alba3:


Most eastern Yoruba groups have something similar. Utileyinorisasola, Itileyinorisasola, etc. or proper Yoruba: Itileyinolorunsola

I/tileyin/olo/oru/unsola/u/tileyinolo/oru/unsola is not a proper Yoruba but a complimentary within same grip to mean same for Oriṣá/Riṣá which's ancient name for both God and mangod (as for a name of man).

Riṣá or Oriṣá is still being used interchangeably with all other names of God devoid of both christians and muslims counterparts.
