I am not an Itsekiri, but from your post, I can deduce that your dad didn't do well in teaching you about your people rich heritage, your mum seized the opportunity and "Yorubanized" you.

Let me tell you, it is wrong for a man or a woman to point at his father's house with left fingers like you just did.

Believe it or not, our fates somehow are usually tied to that of our own people, every group have bad sides, but it's the duty of members of such groups to package the group better and show the world more of their good parts, while they secretly work on the bad parts.

You disappointed and dishonored your ancestors with this your post.


Dishonoured which dirty and useless ancestors. Ancestors that did not think of their great grandchildren. You are sick to think my dad did not do a good job. Their people are lazy. Terribly lazy. U people don't like hearing the truth. I talk from great experience wiv them. My fate and that of my family will never be tied to a backward people wiv a backward tradition. God forbid. I have never denied the fact that I am itshekiri but I will do anything to erase such ties wiv them. If u don't like it go and report me to egbesu or whatever is d name of your water goddess.

I personally think @Pazienza has trashed this issue better than I can say. This is one of the reason why I keep saying that the Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas are more united than any other tribe in Nigeria. How often do you see Enugu Igbos talking trash about Imo Igbos online? Or even a Yoruba talking bad about their Yoruba kingdom online? Yet, here you are disgracing the Itsekiris all because you come from such a family that exhibit what you posted. Personally, I think its rather a family issue on your part and not a general analysis of the Ijaws or Itsekiris as a tribe. Also, its sad you are addressing Itsekiri women as "water people", I understand that they live in riverine areas but to the ordinary Nigerian it means being possessed. As Pazienza rightly said, your Mom "Yorubanized" to the extent you can't even spell your tribe correctly. It's Itsekiri not Itshekiri (Isekiri and Itshekiri are variants). Have a nice day!


You and pazienza are very sick to bring my mum into this. How can my mum yoruba nise me. Am I a kid. You people are lazy and highly diabolical. Deal wiv it!

Omawumi is an Itsekiri lady like you, yet she keeps marketing Itsekiri, she got the whole Nigeria feeling the Itsekiri magnificent culture in her music video " Megbele".

You are not better than her, the difference is that she sees the good in her ethnic group and got the rest of Nigeria and Africa dancing to all those good.

But you, you are filled with negativity and self loathe, you need to visit your hometown more, and explore the place for yourself , at this your age, you should have outgrown the " my Mama say, my papa say" mantra, you need to be finding things out yourself and not rely in stories passed down to you by your parents.

There is goodness in all groups, as well as negatives, but as members of such groups, it's our civic duty to promote the goodness of our group before the world.

I mean Polygamous home, They love polygamous home, getting married to 3wives e.t.c more than any other tribe in Nigeria
u re 100% wrong... am an urhobo and i can stand to tell u that this does nt stand in our current generation. if u say during d time of our ancestors i will agree with this because back then a man with several wives n children depict him as wealthy. people in urhobo land no longer use tht to show how wealthy they are.....secondly, u say they marry up to 3 wives more than any tribe in nigeria, i will say u re 100% wrong as well because i dont think of any tribe that marry up to 3 wives more than those in d northern part of d country.....it will interest u to note that i served in jigawa state during NYSC and one of my sss 3 student is currently married to 2 wives with 4 children and there other students like that...these are students not to mention others....d community were i served out of 10 men 8 are married to more than one wife are u saying that ratio is applicable to those from d south? pls get ur fact straight.

Truly I sometimes wish I wasn't born into this tribe.
It seems like you've been through a lot indeed, but these are very heavy words.
