WARRI—THE Warri Ijaw Peace Monitoring Group, WIPG, in Warri, Delta State, yesterday, alleged that some Itsekiri war lords were planning to attack Ijaw communities in Warri and environs.

Chairman of WIPG, Chief Patrick Bigha, in a statement, said that the war lords want to provoke retaliation so that the military would invade and occupy Ijaw communities under the guise of maintaining peace.

The group pleaded with His Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli, Olu of Warri , to call the supposed war lords to order.

“Currently, some Itsekiri groups are claiming that they are the owners of the entire land the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom are occupying. We make bold to say that there is no element of truth in that claim,” he said.

The entire Warri is Itsekiriland, but when you show weakness everyone wants to press your button. The Itsekiri are too passive, to the extent they allowed other deltans to speak for them. Well, leaves don't fall far from the tree, just like the rest of the Yoruba, they wait till the last minute to react.

Millerz:
Gutter talk. Say only what you know. The itsekiris are migrants in Warri and dont own it.

OAUTemitayo:
I think you are the one that doesn't seems to know what you are talking about.

DamiBukola:
pls what is the meaning of Warri in Yoruba or Itsekiri?

The word Warri is derived from the Ijaw word "Wari" meaning a house.

I am waiting to hear it's meaning in your place

OAUTemitayo:
What nonsense.
Go and ask your elders why Supreme court ruled in favour of the Itsekiris in the Warri land tussle.

This is the aim of the news so their would be fight between Itsekiris and Ijaws, and when you fight? British enterprise a.k.a Nigeria will suck the remaining life out of you. Be wise and take your destiny into your hands. We have succeeded in trashing their propaganda via Anambra and Imo stuff. That is why they are struggling here and there creating faceless groups on newspapers and we are matching them home and abroad. Be strong.

DamiBukola:

I am not even Ijaw but I am used to their terrain, I schooled in Bayelsa and from the West. I am not a tribal bigot so I can't be so blinded with hatred for other ethnic groups for any reason let alone political reason.

Have I done anything wrong for encouraging him/her to shun capitalising on this nake.d propaganda? To my best of knowledge as an analyst I can bet my gallons of fuel that this is propaganda from vagabond a.k.a vanguardngr.com

DamiBukola:

No, not at all dear reasonable friend. I was trying to inline myself with your view by telling u I don't have issue with any tribe. I am not God who created us so I can't malign one because he is from another tribe. Mostly all my friends are from the South South and Middle -Belt

Lol. West indies right?

DamiBukola:

Another tribal bigot is here, pls take your West indies, Eastern Indies or Northern Indies out of here. If u don't have anything reasonable to contribute stop quoting me, I am too educated to be cowed to follow your line of reasoning.

My wife will be from the South South and I will name my children in the following order:
1. Yoruba
2. Igbo
3. Hausa
4. Ijaw

Just shut up and stop blabbing. I asked a simple harmless question and you pouring smelly spit everywhere. You are not Yoruba but hiding just to cause confusion. We know many of your likes here, grow up and stop disgracing your family online.
