You can't read and write. I'm of the opinion that someone is doing the write-up for you and, he's doing it badly. Garba Shehu and everyone who replied you are saying "ITSEKIRIS IN DELTA ARE MORE THAN IJAWS IN DELTA" not that Itsekiris are more than Ijaws in Nigeria. Learn to read and comprehend, we can't begin to teach you how to read and understand online. Please man.

Itsekiri is more than Delta Ijaw, can you provide links to population figures, does itsekiri have a single house of rep member or senator. Why can't your population give you a single house of rep member? Be deceiving your afonja soul

Bobby808:
Am still checking how the Itsekiris that can be found only in some part of Warri are now competing with the popularly aclaimed forth largest ethnic group in the country. I can read very many attcks especially the Afonjas and the Hausas. Na the Amnesty the Ijaws dey enjoy dey pain many people? Abi na because the Itsekiris do not have any member in the National house of assembly, Senate, governor but they can only be found as Local Government chairmen. The Ijaws are now very wealthy, they refused to be oppressed, milked as before. Unlike before, the Ijaw kings chiefs etc are now well known across the country and the world.

If the Itsekiris do not have a member in the national assembly, then who's DANIEL REYENIEJU, the member representing WARRI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY? guy, reason before you yan ooo, or else thunder go fall on you.....

I never knew the devil is a saint when compared to ijaws Propaganda. Where una stupid 'pere' remain for sit? You can lie to hide ur defeat but not one that lives in Benin and regularly updated with ongoings there. No wonder u were reduced to insignificant keyboard warrior with ur naive politics. You are an unstable character. Ijaws re synonymous to empty barrel. Noise making is etched in their DNA. In Benin Kingdom, you have one Oba...no one else dare. Binis don't talk..we are every...our brothers that we beget. The people of OBA in Rivers state already tracing their step home. The way binis tamed the ijaws made them start turning their attention to warri forgetting that itshekiri royalty is of Bini royal blood too.

Which ogba did you beget, what is their language, royalty, town names , I never knew a Mango tree begets udara, our Pere is on the throne of his fathers, if you or your Governor get mind make in try enter Izon communities for anything, where were you when the ugly governor was begging for peace organizing luncheons

SoaringLife01:
Where is the autonomous Itsekiri community in Ethiope West LGA?I saw Ukwuani LGA in the list too,what is the name of the autonomous Itsekiri community there.
As for Udu LGA,it is Igbogidi Area.To me that is Udu land that is being occupied by mostly Itsekiris.

That of Ethiope west, we have an Itsekiri community there called Ebrifo close to the state polytechnic in Oghara, there are also some I can't made mention of in Oghara, Jesse, Mosocgha, etc...

[quote author=Miscellaneous post=63955437]
Not true...
The I jaws in Rivers alone are more than 1million.

The Itsekiri and Ijoh are just claiming delta state and most especially warri. The Urhobo's don't have problem with them... But let me used this opportunity to warn both ethnic group, that all we need is peace in Delta state. And am also using this medium to educate the public that UVWIE, ETHIOPE WEST, SAPELE, OKPE, UDU etc, local government areas belong to the Urhobo's and no other tribe can lay claim to it and there is no Autonomous Community that belong to the Itsekiri in the above named Local government. Please for the sake of peace, am also putting it to the Itsekiri National Youths Council (INYC) that those mention Local government area are Delta Central which belong to the Urhobo's. Further more we can live together as one in warri south.
Best Regard....

shut up that gutter mouth.
Edo State isn't a Niger Delta State. During restructuring Edo and Delta States would be geopolitically zoned back to the South West.
There are no longer part of us in S.S and N.D.
cc AdaFonju nengibo etc

Why did you include Delta State?

AdaFonju:

Taaaa shut up , ogiso is the title liar every Nigeria knows this and it means king of the sky,
Bini word for king isnt Ogi its Oba
Bini word for sky isnt so
You wouldn't know the meaning because you are all Yoruba people from ile ife

You be complete idiot. Ogiso is 100% bini word. Meaning king or ruler of the sky. Early Benin kings were called ogiso. During the time of Eweka the great the title of Oba was adopted. The last Ogiso was the father of Oduduwa.
Ogie means king/ruler
Iso means sky.

Ijaw and itsekiri drama wants to start again... After 18 years of peaceful living... Una carry go

Lol, I laugh in ijor Your ijor people will soon be tamed

SuperS1Panther:


So Igbokoda is the Ijaw speaking part of Ondo or Ilajes are Ijaws?

Wonders shall never end. Some drunks will just sit behind their lappie and be typing rubbish like a drunk fish.

OK, mr nation feeder, the oil producing part of Ondo is around Igbokoda, a fully yoruba land and even the Ijaws cannot lay a claim to a grain of sand of it.

I am sure they will not dare to see a replica of the 2003 testing testing annihilation they saw again. We do not shout. We warn before taking the battle to your sitting room. Ask the Ijaws in Ondo and let them be in peace jejely.

speak with facts and stop running yiur mouth like tap

Asawana i'm Ibibio from Akwa ibom state but mum from Eastern Ijaw (Obolo/Andoni) in Akwa Ibom state.
My fiancee Is Apoi Ijaw from Ondo State.
cc Diadem10 becareful how u marginalized the Ijaws in Ondo State because it is because of them and their indigenous land made Obasanjo include Ondo State as part of the Niger Delta cos their oil boosts the economy of Ondo.
Ijaws are the Nation feeders.
Cc Afriifa nengibo

don't mind dem

Afam4eva:
.
To be fair, i'll say Ijaws are somewhere between 2.5 and 3 million.

ur opinion.

Bobby808:
I so much like the Ijaws. These people no longer take all amouth of oppressive act. They now fight all the oppressors. They are fast becoming very promnent in the country and across the world. They now disallow all those other tribe to milk as before. They are now as wealth others hence so much hatered against them. Their chiefs are all recognised.

gbam.

EternalTruth:
because you bear a rugged moniker doesn't mean u are as tough as u claim u are just a faceless earthworm behind a keypad. U are welcome to try but don't cry back that i didn't warn u sharap ignoramus. IJAWS are majority and are found in six states.
You Edolites are minorities and by the time they handle una. Na ur body go tell u.

Ijaws are the lords of Niger Delta.

AdaFonju:

Don't mind those Yoruba ppl claiming Bini people we are not their mate if they try rubbish we will send dem back to ile ife, the most Popupar ethnicity known in Niger delta is Ijaw,
Delta state bu izon apu imi
Rivers state bu Izon apu imi
Ondo state bu Izon apu imi
Akwa Ibom bu Izon apu imi
Edo state bu Izon apu imi
Bayelsa state bu Izon apu imi

Nni ndee apu?

n those fowl think we r mate.

BlaqCoffee109:
Mr man where did you get your information that ijaw almost eliminated the Itsekiri's... You were making sense about the divisive nature of this government until your erroneous submission about the Itsekiri's...

he just said the bitter truth.

At the end of the day , ijaw history nor still pass one page hahaha hahaha
Discarded Edo Descendants

verydark:
why are ijaws making so much noise and threathning another tribe.?

did you read the post at all?

verydark:


then ijaws have to come with us too.ijaws are binis too.your statement dont make sense.

ijaw aren't binin. they can never be binin bro.

LGDON:


Goodluck Jonathan is not an ijaw man, there are other tribes in bayelsa

Ijaw people are not the only tribe in bayelsa and i doubt if they are the majority

Jonathan is an Ogbia man

Ogbia people historically migrated from Edo

i faint ooh. yur brain is sick I swear. have u ever heard of DSP? Alams is also an Ogbia man.

Miscellaneous:


U are just being too generous because u think they occupy a state call bayelsa... I can tell u that bayelsa does not have up to 1million Ijaws .....since last election they could Not even give their silly brother 500k votes ad we know they came out en masse during that election to represent their blood brother. My man, Ijaws are btw 1- 2million.

Go school, you no gree go. So because Bayelsan Ijaws didn't give Jonathan up to 500K votes, then they must be less than 1million?

Going by your logic, Yorubas are less than 10 million because less than 5 million people voted in the election.

Yoruba people logic. You people are not as smart as we used to think. Thanks to Nairaland.

Educated illiterates and internet touts have taken over Nairaland. This topic is meant to fan tribal hatred and division. The Ijaws and Itsekiris have coexisted (lived side-by-side and intermarried) over the years until extreme greed of the latter made them resort to an oppressive and exploitative campaign against their peace-loving neighbours. This wicked campaign backfired in 2007. The result was regrets and outcry. There's no tribe on EARTH whose people are not known to have migrated from Point A to Point B. Even Israelites were said to have migrated from Egypt to Canaan and today, they are in Palestinian land of Gaza. The Ijaws were a sleeping dog until they were woken Up by extreme prejudice, hatred, marginalisation, oppression, scorn, betrayal (by their Itsekiri and Urhobo neighbours), political jingoism and violent attacks. If there are any people guilty of massive exodus, migration, land snatching, history twist and political scheming of elimination tactics, they are Itsekiri people! Fulani, Hausa, Igbo, and especially Yoruba, are the major migrating tribes of West Africa. Today, on Nairaland platform, i read with complete shame, how Itsekiri and Yoruba says Ijaws are Edomites, and yet others say that Itsekiris are descendants of Binis (Edomites). Confusion and Contradictions everywhere. The Ijaw People are wounded Lions who have been oppressed for so long. They have been naturally toughened by long years of marginalisation and suffering. As they rise Up and take their rightful place, they have been labelled militants, land grabbers, bla bla bla! Taah! You Afonja cowards, how come Fulanis are Kings and owners of Kwara State in the West? And now, they are spreading fast like a virus to absorb and annihilate and enslave you and your unborn generations forever. Is that not migration, annihilation and elimination? You should be crying instead of calling Ijaws names. And for those quoting Census figures, let it be known that Nigeria NEVER HAD A PROPER OR ACCURATE NATIONAL POPULATION CENSUS that is even worthy of being called proper or adequate random estimate. It's all political scheming, manipulation and domination by Britain in conjuction with Northern/Western Nigeria.

SicilianMafia:
coming to ijo there is something not clear regarding thier origin as they delibrately twist thier history, its not that ijos history wasnt documented, it was!!

Go and read the lower niger and its tribes by Leonard arthur glyn (1906) where it states that ijos are benin descendants, see S E johnson report on gbaramatu, patridge report on ijo, and the oral traditions amongst the ijos of the niger delta by professor E J Alagoa. Now coming to your claim ijaws are you aware of the place iduwini in delta and igbobini an apoi community in ondo dont tell me that idu benins ancestor is now an ijo man and the prefix idu is of ijo origin and now igbobini a yoruba word that means forest binis(benins) and if you are still not convinced according to some ijos oral tradition they claim ado beni origin which means riverine edo in ijo tongue what does that tell you regarding the ancestor of this ijos.?

Go study minority politics by professor ambily etekpe the ijaws actually name Benin's ado which means welcome or tank you but during state creation in order not to become descent of ijaws dey changed d A to E so instead of Ado its now Edo

Vessi:
ijaws always constituting nuisance everywhere they go.

those fishermen need to be flushed back to their tiny bayelsa creek where they'll do what they know best.
-drinking ogogoro and fishing.

The crazy ogogoro drunks are the fulani herdsmen equivalent of the south. Use set of people.

Yeah right! The same way fulani herdsmen are found in 36 states. Normadic ogogoro drinking bastards.

The Edo race and kindred,must rise and place this people where they belong, the kingdom is one filled with brave warriors and killers, proudly Kings, you act up, you die.

Dummy, do you know the Benin empire has existed for more than 2000yrs, the Oba lineage and throne has been well documented and preserved, stretching from the Ogiso dynasty, stop spreading ignorant news...bloody peasants fisherman settlers, I suspect you guys are not even Nigerians...you all need to be flushed out.
