whiÇh is closest to "Warri" between "Wari"(Ijaw) and iwwere (itsekiri)? Let us not deceive ourselves, that ruling that was based on the rejected document cannot and will not be implemented by any autho®ity... Not even the Military could implement the ruling. That is to tell you that there are lots of discrepancies that is beyond a judge. They need to negotiate my guy.

barcanista:
bros it can also be argued that "warri" is the corruption of "Wari', an Ijaw word that means House, it also means "Family"

gentleoyink:


So what is the meaning of Warri in itsekiri or how was it derived from an Itsekiri word?

When you answer this, I will give you an Ijaw point of view as to how the name Warri came about.

barcanista:
The claim to Gbaramatu land by the Itsekiri is premise on the idea of Itsekiri owning Warri. If the Ijaws should reject the document by Numan they are equally saying that Gbaramatu Kingdom is Ijaw Town(of course the Itsekiris reject this position). Personally, I see the two ethnic groups having legitimate claim but the violence by Tompolo group is unnecessary even though I understand that Ijaws like to fight for whatever they believe in. Also the media should stop the castigation of Ijaw tribe and President Jonathan as this is not a matter he can handle with a fiat. For there to be peace, there must be dialogue and COMPROMISE from all sides.

aljharem:
APigCshit change!!

barcanista:
An Ijawman doesn't give-up a cause or fight that he believes in. This is something you have to realise.

I don't subscribe to illegitimate detention of journalists or any other people by any group, neither do I subscribe to self-help, however, I see the legitimacy of the struggle by all parties. The ijaws and Urhobos from my preliminary findings have not, will not and will never accept the legitimacy of Numa, neither will they respect any agreement signed by Numa on behalf of Warri nor will they accept any court judgement or verdict that was reached on the basis of the document signed by Numa. So what should be done to avert Warri Crisis II? The answer is Holistic Dialogue. El finito

barcanista:
From the Perspective of the Ijaw and Urhobo, "all the court judgement" that invariably favors the Itsekiri were flawed and unacceptable as the British had "illegally" recognized and contracted Numa, an Itsekiri Chief that "signed" the documents in which the judgement was decided on amid protest and rejection by the Ijaws and Urhobos even at the time of when Numa was recognized. This is from the perspective of the Ijaws and Urhobos.
Ordinarily, I should have taken position to back the Ijaws but because "Non of us was alive" when it all started, I insist that there is need for dialogue and compromise. The Itsekiris, Urhobos and Ijaws must holistically come to the table to see how it can be resolved amicably. I am still researching though but from my preliminary finding, the three parties have legitimate but conflicting case.

barcanista:
that was an extract of a writeup I was reading from an "Urhobo site" as regards the court judegment and others. The case from this perspective project Warri as a tri-ethnic owned(by itsekiri, Urhobo and Ijaw) unlike the other article. I am NOT taking a position, I insist that there must be an holistic talks and serious dialogue to achieve "compromise" from all sides.

barcanista:
I am not privy to the legal action at the Supreme Court or Privy Council as I am not from Warri, however as an Ijaw(a proud one), I am not happy with the turn of event. In my earlier submission, I opined for a dialogue to resolve the issue. The reason for this is not to create an atmostphere of animosity. The Ijaws are not the problem, the dishonest government at all levels are the problem. We need a holistic solution and not a "war" solution. I back the call for legal interpratation of SC judgement or the ICJ if it warrant such.

barcanista:
OP we have a case here. While one will blame the Ijaw militants for taking laws into their hands and illegal detention, one has to understand that gun was found in the boat of the journalists/itsekiris. Obviously, it was planted by someone and that is a Shame.

For the EPZ we are clearly in a precarious situation here. Who owns the land? Who doesn't? Who's a tenant and who's a landlord? We can't get these facts by beating the drum of war or castigating and abusing Ijaw nationality(which is unacceptable). What we need is absolute dialogue committee made of young people, elders, religious leaders and representative of security agencies. We need an open mind to look into this issue so as to reach a compromise. The drum of war from both side won't bring solution neither will the media attack against the Ijaw Nationality. I hope something meaningful is done.



God bless Izon
God bless Itsekiri

Shut it, Tinubu wanted Amosun and knew he could not control Dina just like Banire and Solomon. He killed him

aljharem:


Lies, keep deceiving yourself. Even Jagaban himself cannot deny it.

Ok let's say Koro killed Williams

What of Toyin Hamzat, Dipo Dina etc

All in opposition against Tinubu. So koro killed them as well?

What of the PDP Nurtw leader in ekiti? PDP killed him ?

Lol keep deceiving your gullible followers

oscarforreal:


Truly it doesn't disqualify him constitutional-wise but it speaks volume of his show of irresponsibility and a man who throw morality and decorum to the dogs. You will also agree with me that such a symbol of immorality shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere near public domain

atlwireles:
Don't mind Uduaghan, disgracing us in public like a little kid. The big heart state will get it together.

Ekiti people are a million times better off than when they were under Fayemi

Ngwakwe:


You have been against him from day one and I don't expect anything different than absolute antagonism.

Ngwakwe:
It is unfortunate that the same rejected Elites and power hawkers that were rejected at the poll want to make the State ungovernable for the peoples Governor.

We knew from inception that the vocal minority won't accept defeat without a fight. This is a bitter experience.

Agabje is a good man. I respect him for who he is however, he is not as popular as people make him to be.


Nonetheless, if he wins the PDP primaries he will have my support. Anything to remove the Burdillion thief, Tinubu Ole
