When Warri kingdom announced the death of the Olu of Warri yesterday, alot of questions run through my mind. Most paramount among them is the issue of the Ownership of Warri.

I was thinking of how the Itsekiri, a Yoruba tribe can really be the owners of Warri in Delta State, it was not until i ran into this article today on who owns warri http://ngr.ng/who-owns-warri-and-the-olu-of-warri-title/ that i begin to understand how Itsekiri may really be the true owners of Warri.

Unfortunately alot of Yoruba do call the itsekiris Omo Ibo out of ignorance.

Can someone throw more light of the ownership of warri and also why the itsekiri are Yoruba?

walemoney007:
why do you guys just love creating very stupid and senseless thread sef......itsekiri is a tribe on is own.....

Naija3am:
I don't think Itsekiri is a tribe of his own. Check out the following:

Their Ancestral town is called - ODE ITSEKIRI

Their King is called - Olu or Oba

80% of their language have same meaning with Yoruba same words.

Yoruba Assembly tells Jonathan 0
BY OUR REPORTER ON MARCH 20, 2015 POLITICS
From OLUSEYE OJO, Ibadan

Yoruba leaders led by former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Alani Akinrinade (retd), yesterday, told President Godoluck Jonathan that Yoruba people would not accept an Interim National Government (ING), Government of National Unity (GNU) or any other form of unelected government.

They demanded that this year’s general elections must hold as re-scheduled on March 28 and April 11, insisting also that the exercise must be free, fair, credible, and transparent.

Yoruba leaders made the call at the Yoruba Assembly entitled: “Yoruba People: Our Aspirations and Minimum Demands from the Central Government of Nigeria”, which was convened by Akinrinade at Ibadan.

A communique issued at the end of the conference reads in part: “Yoruba people hereby state categorically that the general elections scheduled to commence on Saturday, March 28, 2015 must not be postponed or jeopardised. Yoruba people will not countenance any form of unelected government, be it Government of National Unity, Interim National Government or howsoever described.”

The leaders warned that the over 50 million population of Yoruba people would not hesitate to take their destiny in their own hands in the event of any attempt to compromise their democratic existence.

The summit was attended by leaders of Yoruba nation, current and past governors of Yoruba States, traditional rulers and their representatives, officials of various civic and professional agencies of Yoruba extraction at home and in the diaspora.

They include vice presidential candidate of the All Pprogressives Congress (APC), Prof Yemi Osinbajo; governors Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State and Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State; former governors of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and Otunba Niyi Adebayo; a prominent Itsekiri leader in Delta State, Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor; former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; and former military governor of Mid-Western State, Gen Samuel Ogbemudia (retd).

The Yoruba Assembly also frowned on the protest staged by thousands of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) members and the Coalition of Concerned Nigerians loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday in Lagos against the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega..

Naija3am:
Interesting. So the Itsekiri are part of Yoruba assembly?

Greyworld:
Oba what? Op abeg lie less.

The itsekiris will not accept they are a yorubas Just the same way the yorubas will never accept that oduduwa was a bad prince whom the binis wanted execute but was shown mercy by the servant saddled with the task.
