Don't mind the bBOY. I just recently called him out to correct some notions. He even went further to say Ilaje is not yoruba as well or better still "Ilajes don't claim yoruba" That got me mad ! He exhibited a typical igboman trait on Nairaland and I had to stop him.

I also want me and him to meet in Warri so he can show me the Ilajes he met that are claiming they are not yorubas.

Do you know him personally?

Abegi, help me tell am.

He seems to put his trust in Uhrobo, Ijaw and co. Hmm! Make i no talk.

forgiveness:


Oyel! Oyel! Oyel!

When you said Itshekiri are not Yoruba's, i just dey look you. It seems you don't know what will befall you without taking refuge under that general acceptable name Yoruba.


What do you think OPC is doing in Warri?
Why do you think Itshekiri leaders always participate in Yoruba forum etcetera.? You never jam.

What proof do you have that they are Yorubas? Do not just come online to distort history just because they speak a language similar to Yoruba doesn't make us a Yoruba. Yes! We have ties with the Yoruba likewise the Binis so keep calm bro... Compare the Itsekiri dressing, Yoruba dressing and Edo (Bini) dressing, you will see our dressing is similar to that of the Binis.

Bros relax, we are all from one descendant so there no point pushing each other off. Even the Urhobo practise Epha/Ipha (Ifa).

We are from one branch whether Awori, Benin, Egun, Itsekiri, Ishan, Ijesha, etc. Don't lose focus

Olu of warri needs to flog the biafran madness from these Igbo people just as Deji of Akure did.

Hope you now know who is Dying so hard to have our Land and Resources... I won't Keep quiet why My Elder(Ayomike) is been insulted by your Igbo People, We have made our Intention known, I dare any itsekiri to say otherwise, We don't want Biafra, Tell your people that.. The names above are not in any way Related to Itsekiri, I don't know why they Still shy away from the truth. after reading this I now know what they want.

This is an insult me and my People

Cc: Datazone, Setaje, scholes0 , wirinet.. See me see wahala oo.. See the way Igbo they claim itsekiri.. they even have to mind to insult Ayomike

Omere, `e seun ti`e (no be small thing ). The dumb propagandist is too lazy to Google up some Itsekiri names to make the lie a bit credible. No itsekiri man would bear Igbo names, never. furthermore, no itsekiri man or woman would consider joining IPOB or Biafra.

Please do not get offended by Biafran insults on Ayomike, Respect of elders and authority is alien to Igbo culture.

Well, I have never seen any proof of any nation called Yoruba before colonial rule. All we had was Oyo, Ife, Ijebu, Ilaje etcetera. And they all speak various dialect similar to Olukumi which is now reffered to as Yoruba. It was during the colonial rule, the Word Yoruba was coined by the british and these various groups that identified the similarities in their languague choose to be called or identified as Yoruba. Nobody is Yoruba until they join any of the Yoruba assiociations e.g Afenifere, Yoruba Elders council etcetera. And the last time i checked, Itsekiri is a full registered member of Yoruba Elders council. So what else proof do you seek for?

When it comes to dressing, believe me yoruba dressing varies.

Omere ignore Biafran, I used to think Igbos are intelligent but as of today I will have to take that away from them; to think an Igbo boy cannot even differentiate Igbo names from Itsekiri names is disturbing and at the same time fascinating. I mean, the idiotic Igbo boy who created this Thread and went as far as saying "Itsekiris made some comments on Vanguard concerning a statement by Pa. Ayomike" when in reality it was actually done by his foolish Igbo brothers who think with their asses is laughable and shows the general public the haste and greed of the Igbo Nation. If they could do this now that we are still One Nigeria I wonder what will happen if we decide to join their selfish struggle, I bet they will just grab our lands and siphon our crude. Yes! My money's on it

We can't just seat down and watch them keep Spreading lies on this forum. can't they respect our right ?

No one cares about your Biafra. The people you assumed are part of Biafra have refused to be part of it. You Biafrans are the ones that are jumping up and down and insisting they must join you. Who are you to force anyone to join you? All these Igbo names insulting Itshekiri and insisting that they are part of Biafra. Do you Biafran's not understand NO ITSHEKIRI said NO!!!! Get that into your thick skull and let it remain there. Move on to other tribes and let them rest. They are not interested in Biafra

Why are you carrying the matter on your head like Gala. How does it concern you if they are part of Biafra or not. Nawa o. Are you related to Buhari?

xtrorse:


Are you new on this forum? What ails you verm1n and vagabond?

Igbos have made it clear to you that anything scratchrd faced, greedy, treacheerous, tribalistic, diabolic, lousy and parasitic Edoid or Yoruboid is not needed in IPOB.

Is that too difficult to grasp?

they r not needed but in another thread, u will still claim Ijaw, itshekiri bcus of dere oil and access to d sea.
u people r too stubborn

Bile-filled, greedy and treacheerous murderer, here is my response to one of your hateful brothers sometime ago.

Right now and here, can you post any of my comments where I claimed to be any of you savages?

xtrorse:


Mr Itsekiri, it's time you ceased creating unnecessary attention for yourselves. If your ethnic group is worth your silly rants you wouldn't form the shameful habit of always doing attaché to SS-Igbos who don't need you.

Stop lumping yourselves with Igbos; you're not needed. In the Nigeria of today the arrogant, greedy and backstabbing Itsekiri are no force to reckon with. Itsekiri people have proven over time to stand for nothing unlike their closest ethnic group in Delta State.

Tell your disgruntled folks to cease maligning Igbos on IPOB issues. Igbos are not your mates! In fact it's an insult on the Igbo Nation for the human resources in one LGA in Igboland to be compared to Itsekiri people!

Igbos are not interested in parasites, backstabbers, traitors or genocide conspirators. The Igbo struggle is strictly for hard-working achievers and goal-getters, and not for lazy cowards who have only survived by being stooges and weak-minded fellows, and are gullibly satisfied with the few crumbs their slave masters throw at them while the slave masters continue to enslave, plunder and rape the commonwealth and resources to better their own region, religion and elites!

There's oil in Anambra, Abia, Enugu and Imo. The whole of Enugu and Anambra States are sitting on Gas deposits; Coal at Enugu, Lime stone for cement in Abakaliki; rice in Ebonyi State, Abia State - highest producer of cocoa; West Africa's largest market at Onitsha, Anambra; big markets at Aba, Abia state and Nnewi, Anambra State. 
Even without reliance on crude oil the Igbos have excelled and are more than ever before capable of doing more exploits and competing with World powers! 

Is there any resource or positive virtue you can ever use to brag against The Igbo Nation, that should warrant operating on the same pedestal - brawn, brain, beauty, natural and human resources, achievements, personalities, international links, sports, entertainment etc.?

This is not a matter of using charms to disfigure your whole body for protection and in the end you end up been whipped silly by a less political group.

Do well to face OduaArewanistan republic where you're most needed as loyal, slavish subjects.

It pays to not to be arrogant, greedy, hateful, treacheerous and lousy.

why r u den speaking a language similar to d yorubas? why are u bearing yoruba names? r u confused like d ibos?
i know d itsekiris in Ondo-state said they r yorubas and bears yoruba names, while ur itsekiri in ss will be igbo and bears igbo names. i'm i right?
Maybe d igbos are even right though

atbu1983:


those names dont sound itsekiri

don't mind them. Reminds me of the story of a cruise ship that iis steadily .The captain knows that it's sinking but the passengers had no clue so the captain made an announcement that all foods and drinks on the ship are free from now on . The passengers were so happy and thankful to the Captain for making everything free charge , they didn't know they were heading to their death. Same goes for Biafra,a lost cause trying to bring everybody else down with their death trap.

Itshekiri people are closer to the Yorubas than Igbo.

these people are funny o. look at the names and you realise that ipob is becoming desperate.

I'm paternally n materially itsekiri,,, those names aren't ours and we aren't biafra

Its better you keep quiet . don't create any bad blood b/w Yoruba and Itsekiri.. itsekiri have made it known that they re not Yoruba.

my name is pure Yoruba but that doesn't mean am Yoruba.. stop arguing baseless argument , ur enemy might use it against u.. be wise.

Note :Most of the people mascurading as Itsekiri here are not itsekiri. The position of Itsekiri nation has been made known by ILT. Any one who cannot answer the following questions correctly should not be regaded as Itsekiri.
1. Uwor oma ale Iwere?
2. nesin akpe Ikenwole Abiloye Emiko?
3.Nikoretse Okan, meji, meta ni aja oyibo?
ANY ITSEKIRI WHO CANNOT INTERPRETE WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOVE SHOULD STOP COMENTING AS ITSEKIRI. ITSEKIRI IS A YORUBA DIALECT.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Itsekiri is used to refer to yoruba of Delta State origin whose head quarter is called Ode itsekiri also known as Big Warri. Ajami mokiaghan.

And in the end Biafra will come

I don't really know if you're itsekiri but do a little more research and you will get to know that the Yoruba race is more diverse than any other ethnic group as each Yoruba town and village speak different types of Yoruba language and even dress differently.

This is even more evident in Ondo State where several towns/villages speak another language different from Yoruba , they speak it side by side with Yoruba; let me state that the Owo people and the itsekiris have almost the same culture even with the binis, likewise some part of Akoko in Ondo state; so try and do a little more research.

I am Yoruba & also closely related to Edo( Ubiaja) I don't know if I spelled that name right. Though I have never visited that place but history have it that they are my people & I am from a royal family in Yoruba land & also related to the royal house in Edo state. Those who put this history down are all dead but it have been confirmed by a few that have visited that place that we still have a little of their language intertwined with the one we speak.

Let me state that if we all do more research as per where we originally originated from we will discover that some of us are related one way or the other; let me use the ijaws as a case study:

1. I learnt from some of ijaws that history have it that they originated from Egypt/Sudan but it worthy to know that we the Yorubas have one that say we also originated from Egypt/Sudan.

2. They said another have it that they dropped from the sky & I laughed because history also have it that Oduduwa the father of we the Yorubas dropped from the sky.

3. They also said another have it that after they left Egypt/sudan, the first place they settled was Ile-ife; I laughed more because Ile-ife is the place of Yoruba civilization and it is in Osun State a Yoruba State.

These facts may be disputed or even confirmed but it did change the way I see an ijaw man/woman & for this I will always never support a fight with any ijaw person because I see them as my cousins: though i have never made any statement pertaining to such in their presence but that's the way I see it & I have done my part to protect their rights everywhere work took me so far they also work there.

Finally, though me & some Igbos throw jabs at each other every now & then on Nairaland but the truth is that I still have some cousins of mine who I can say are half Yoruba & half igbo. Nigeria is more diverse & intertwined more than we all think but once in a while we tend to let ethnic sentiments over cloud our way of reasoning.
