Gani Adams, Itsekiri leaders inaugurate OPC in Warri

THE National Coordinator of the O’dua Peoples Congress (OPC), Chief Ganiyu Adams, Tuesday in Warri, Delta State, formally launched the Itsekiri branch of the OPC.
Adams, who was guest of the Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, described his visit to Warri as home-coming, saying that he was always joyous when he was visiting people of same ancestral lineage.

He said the Itsekiri were descendants of Oduduwa and as such, needed the presence of OPC in their midst since the body was created to preserve all Oduduwa descendants.

The OPC leader was particularly delighted that he was welcomed to Warri by the highly respected Itsekiri Leaders of Thought led by Chief J.O.S. Ayomike, which is a think-tank of some of the best brains in Itsekiri land.

Adams eulogized the late Pa Alfred Rewane, a notable Itsekiri leader and co-founder of National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), who played immense role in the June 12 debacle. He said the murder of Rewane created immense vacuum in NADECO.

The OPC leader expressed immense gratitude to the Itsekiri Leaders of Thought for deeming it fit to receive him in Warri.

He maintained that Oduduwa descendants existed in several parts of Nigeria apart from the South-West, including Igala, Akoko-Edo and even in Benin Republic and the Caribbean, adding that the OPC was a special body created to cater for the needs of O’dua descendants.

Adams said his visit to Warri was almost marred by a petition in one of the national dailies, which said he was visiting Warri to assist Itsekiri fight their neighbours, while denying the report that Adams said wrong impressions were being held by some persons about the OPC.

He clarified that the OPC is a socio-cultural organisation set for the collective good of all Yoruba people

He said: “We founded the OPC to fight for the identities of all the Yoruba people all over the universe. There are about 46 million Yoruba in Nigeria and over 200 million all over the world. Itsekiri is part of the descendants of Oduduwa. Therefore, they need the support of the OPC.

The high point of the day was the formal inauguration of the OPC Itsekiri branch by Adams, which was hailed by several Itsekiri leaders, including Prof. Tony Afejuku and Dr. Lucky Akaruese, among others.

Edos are not daft like yoruba. Your lion fighting and bleaching Alafin was corrected, by the Great Oba of benin.

WhiteTechnology:
Still no pics


Its a shame a newspaper like Guardian never kept a pics

You see my friend , I believe more in what l see than what I hear.

superstar1:
Edos and itshekiris are and will forever be our cousins, as well as Nupes.

i will not allow a kai kai drinking fisherman and wrapper tying fully grown man, make me take any of them on.

The bleaching Alaafin seat is well know all over the world as the political headquarter of the Yoruba race. What is even the title of your king or high sea pirate or bandit leader?

superstar1:
Really, a Yoruba man levelled Odi, ransacked Nembe or forcados (1 of the 2) L, what happened?.......NOTHING.

You had a bitter war with our cousins - Itshekiris, were you able to defeat them? We all know the story. How much more the Yoruba nation. That is the gene of Oduduwa. If northerners knew that, they would have allowed June 12 to pass without any rancour. It was the greatest mistake in their history till date.

Ask your cousins, the y1bos, they will tell you. We are slow to rush to war, but swift to execute it. Uthman Dan Fodio descendants will tell you.

A warring tribe did not just have the massive and blessed land mass we have today, because we were smoking fishes beside the ocean or dancing round a pot of boiling human being. We were conquering territories and expanding our frontiers, building empire and if need be, we will do it again.

MayorofLagos:
they need to modify their threat to say in SS/SE where they have territorial control. SW is full blast Buhari/Osinbajo. If Ijaw try anything in Yorubaland they better be damn sure they first stockpile enough food to last 3yrs for their sustenance.

We will blow up the oil pipes and turn their land to an inferno of lasting hell.

shyyte, of all people Ijaw threatening war......since when? Madafvckrs!

Zet72:
Coward!! stop ranting, a Lilly livered tribe like urs should shut up when war is mentioned, your progenitors were conquered by ordinary bow wielding fulani marauders from north & their land stolen from them. Try reclaim ilorin from fulanis or atleast, installing an OBA, instead of emir.......coward

erunz:
the title and the name of my King is the great Omo N Oba Solomon Erediauwa I Erediauwa. The ruler of the great Benin kingdom and the most respected traditional ruler in Nigeria and the world

omenka:
And I foresee a redeemed country.

These guys should shut it. What's the hullabaloo about exactly?? Did anyone threaten to attack Jonathan's supporters in the North??

If the threats of attacks is anything to go by, then one would agree with me it has mostly been coming from the south and it hasn't just been verbal, they have also gone physical. Have we forgotten what happened to APC stalwarts when they visited Amaechi last year??

What about the constant threats Amaechi comes under from some Nig,er Deltans simply because he chose to excise his.freedom of association?? He's been called a bastard, a traitor, and all manner of unprintable names.

With the damages Jonathan has done with his divisive way of politicking, I could wager my life the Ijaw people will not smell Aso Rock in a hundred years after his exit in 2015.

The arms you guys are stockpiling will only be used to exterminate your own families.

Nigeria will survive.

superstar1:
He searched the whole of the Internet for the name of his Ijaw king, Google keeps popping up Tompolo and Asari.

Out of no other choice, he had to acquire an over night Edo indigeneship for him to recognise Oba of Benin as his king.

Wrapper tying fisherman, tell us the name of your king. Amanyanibo Tompolo of Gbaramutu Kingdom. Sounds like the name of high sea pirate.

erunz:
u call urself a superstar and still cannot tell from my username that am from Edo. well na now i know say u b superdaft

superstar1:
See this useless chest beater, making noise as usual.

3mm of you was killed for fun, what happened. Nothing.

Hausas have been using you and still you using you for target practise, what happened.... nothing.

Your houses and streets were hijacked by unarmed ND people, your town Oyigbo was renamed under your nose by the same unarmed Niger Delta people, what did you do.... nothing.

Noise making cowards, always sacrificing their women and children while they will Usain Bolt to Abidjan. Shameless set of bandits calling themselves rebels.

We are your lord and master. We taught you how to spell your name.

Zet72:
Little coward, ur forebearers Afonja & co relinquished ilorin without lifting even lifting a stick to oppose the gambarians, & what is more surprising is that the crop of yoruba internet warriors have not mustered enough courage to reclaim what rightly belong them or even challenge the status quo, how does 1 explain having a fulani emir over yorubas in a yoruba town, instead of OBA?, quite pathetic.
Coward is another name for Southwest people

MayorofLagos:
Ijaw has never won any fight outside the creeks. Which means the creek is a safehaven for them. To beat them in the creeks the simple strategy is to turn the creek from being safehaven to becoming a threat to them. Thats not a difficult thing to do.

Ibo fear Ijaw and they think rest of Nigeria is coward like them.

erunz:
na Hausa dem do that one to, not ijaw. U read papers we where there during the fight, Ijaw fought OPC to a stand still in Ajegunle.

Umunede:
Buhari will be fighting two wars if he wins. Boko haram in the north and Niger delta militants in the south

Pataki:
Yawns.......


Ordinary Itshekiris' they are still battling them. Now they want to take on the whole of Nigeria?


No sensible Nigerian wants to associate with the clueless dunce we have as a President forthwith. He has no charisma for a leader.


Feb 14, will show that Nigerians both far and wide across this nation are done with this clueless corrupt being of a leader.

The northerners are not the cause of our problems but the easterners and the southerners. I'm from Benin City I hate the igbo's and any body who possess their greedy features.....they are the one's deceiving the people in Delta, Port Harcourt and Bayelsa.

erunz:
guy I witnessed the fight, it was during the fight with the hausa, that the hausa's ran to the the barrack. Ijaw fought them well. The OPC only attacked helpless ijaw women selling in waterside market. Get ur fact b4 posting. Infact during the fight with hausa, it was a joint effort of all Ajegunle boys that even made them won.

lygn19:
d same way dat if u yorubas know u re brave let u ediots go to ph to cause one single wahala... or even Aba Abia state and watch if u guys won't go prostrating to emir of kano for help... d only difference is dat one wud fight back no mata where he is while d oda only has mouth when he is in his state...cowards.

omololu2020:
a lot of una go just dey yearn dust,where were u in ajegunle wen it happened.una go just dey run mouth for wetin una no know.d battle of ajegunle was strictly btwn ijaws and opc members,not all yorubas area in ajegunle took part in d fight.wia in ajegunle wia u wen d fight was happenin sef?
