itsekiri is a tribe on its own,no doubt.but geneology and etymology has linked us largely to d yoruba nation especially d IJEBUS AND D OWO axis,d itsekiri(iwere)nation has always existed prior to d "iginuwa"advent,communities like odé ugorodo,odé itsekiri,ureju,omadino,.....has always existed even before d ijaws of "gbaran clan" (now gbaramatu) came to d scene.now,apart from the royal council ,d binis have virtually no cultural influence on d itsekiris.
the "nexus" between d yoruba,ilajes and ditsekiris cannot b swept under,even tho we are distinct as a tribe,my broda "blood is thicker dan water"

I strongly disagree with you on the bolded... saying the Itsekiri have no bini cultural influence is unacceptable, so how did we got things from..?.. they fell from the sky or were ?

i know there is a strong bond b/w Yoruba and itsekiri which goes beyond culture, Its in our DNA

U obviously donnot understand English.. The guy said;

The ijabu Decendent(Itsekiri) Adopted A bini Prince, e never said Ijebu.. oya tank me

Identity crisis is a terrible thing!

What you said shouldn't make sense to you if you are not beni/ibo, It's like saying Nigeria colonised British, which is a big lie. Check yourself and your life history, we left with you everything British left with Nigeria on a smaller scale, and that should tell you that, Yoruba colonised you.

Rayhut:

Always adopting Benin prince as king from Ooni of Ife, Oyo to Itsekiris, Binis must be a special colonial masters to Yorubas

u actually quoted me wrongly, @goodboy was right,i neva said ijebu adopted bini king,rather i said d itsekiris whose descents can be traced to d ijebus and owos adopted a bini prince.

lets stop d insults, it aint worth it, we are here to learn or rather showcase historical knowledge.

I didn't quote you wrongly, I just responded to what you wrote which i don't know if you did it on purpose but, I just couldn't allowed that to stick.

The guy Goodboiyy thinks he's smart.

He strolled in like a neutral person, saluting Yoruba and Itsekiri, and at the same time using the biggest comb he could find to separate the two, making sure he establish total different identities for both with nothing connecting them directly, he was short of placing Fulani in between Yoruba and Itsekiri. I wonder why anyone would go to such length, and this makes it clear that this guy is NOT Itsekiri. So if he's not itsekiri, why is he interested in their affairs this much?

What I Know is. Warri once was part of old Western region. Itsekiri people speaks language similar to Yoruba language even some of their names sounds like Yoruba, Omawunmi(Omowunmi), Temisan, Omatshola(Omoshola) and Oritsefemi (Orishafemi) but their mode of dressing is similar to Owo/Benin/Ilaje.

Wat fgc pls?

JIGHU:
he is a WARRI BOY NA ....HE WENT TO FGC WARRI

When I lived in Warri, I always wondered why Itshekiri names sound like Yoruba names. So, I ask an Itshekiri woman what this was all about. She told me that many of their ancestors came from Ijebu Ogun State and that was how Yoruba filtered into the language and culture. It seems the amala-people are rebuilding cultural bridges with their cousins all over the country. I am suspicious and wonder what they are up to. Its either they are warming up the land for Yoruba presidency or they are trying to shame the bini political hacks who were making noise the other day. Whatever the case maybe, I will keep my eye on amala-people. I know them well - they will never make a move without a reason.

Then i must say u aint an african, for you not to know the great Iwerre nation.. then u must really be an alien to the Africa..

brief info ;

Itsekiri is an oil rich community in Delta, And some part of ondo/Edo.. they speak a language very related to Yoruba and ilaje, (Mind u they re nt yoruba's) They have same culture with there Edo/urhobo brothers, Itsekiri account for Nigeria 40% oil production.. so hope you now know about the great tribe?

Which Itsekiri account for which 40% of Nigeria oil??

Assuming only Itsekiri produces oil in Delta state, What percentage of Nigerian oil is produced by Delta state?

Some of you just draw figures from your dreams.

Can you point to where i Made difference b/w both tribe, Hell yes, I av always maintained the fact that Itsekiri re nt yoruba if you like hate me for that, That hr cup of tea, i owe neither u or the Yoruba nation any apology cous i don't hold anything against you..

I was pointing to the fact that itsekiri is a distinct and unique tribe, Pls check my post, i av always maintained a good standard on this forum, but the interest of my people first b4 any body.. mtchewwwwww

Yes there you get it wrong.. You can't denial Edo influence on itsekiri, Apart from The Royalty, only few itsekiri communities existed then, It was Ignuwa that brought everybody together and whence the itsekiri nation existed , Also everything about itsekiri culture is 90%-98% Edo influence.. infact the only connection that link itsekiri to yoruba is the language, Everything else na Edo

Before ginuwa came there were aboriginal ypruba fishing communities namely omadino, orugbo, obodo etc.. This settlements were independent and dependent on fishing, answerable to nobody before ginuwa came. Omadino always pay reference to their founder nenuwa who came from ijebu waterside
U av said it all. Apart from the language itsekiri bears no similarities with d yoruba nation.
Thats my itsekiri is more like an hybrid tribe

U r right and wrong.. Like i stated earlier. Itsekiri is an hybrid tribe. Mixture of benin yoruba et al. Y most people believe and feel we r more close to benin nation is because we the itsekiris were unfied as one tribe by d benins. Prior to that the few fishing settlements that were in existence were not under and empire eida the oyo or benin empire

Abeg ignore that 1 , This kind news they give him and he tribesmen Heart attack..

@Bolded, hope you nw get my point y i say ilaje re nt Yoruba ?.. Ilaje speaks the itsekiri language, Share similar festival, ilaje is edo influenced likewise itsekiri so whats the connection b/w Ilaje and Yoruba ?

nah bro. Ilaje is 100% yoruba.
1. their origin is Ile-Ife
2. they observe the veneration of yoruba deities from Ife, Itsekiri and Bini venerate yoruba deities too
3. their language is a Yoruboid language. ..in fact a dialect of yoruba language so is itsekiri
4. their Founder came from Ife and was in fact an Ooni

it doesn't take much more than this to be yoruba

of course Ilaje and itsekiri will have Edo influence, These are easternmost yoruba speakers on the edges of Edo cultural realm
but itsekiri culture is more indigenous plus ancestral (Ijebu) than extracted from Bini. Bini also learnt from Itsekiri and Ilaje. ..it was never a one way train
