CooperJay:
I can't help but notice thier attire , Please is Itshekiri an Edo Clan?

The Itsekiri National Youths Council (INYC) has called on the ijaws to stop presenting erroneous Population Figures to suit their claim of being majority in the Niger Delta region, noting that the 2006 National Population Census data is in the public domain.

INYC in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary Mr. Joseph Uwawah , described the recent presentation made by the factional President of IYC, Pereotubo Oweilaemi, Esq that the Ijaws occupies three homogeneous Local Government Area in Delta State as an insult to the Isoko Nation and the Urhobo Nation that have autonomous communities in Patani, Bomadi and Burutu.

Mr Joseph Uwawah The statement read, “The Ijaws coexist with other ethnic nationalities in Patani, Bomadi and Burutu, in some cases speak the same languages interchangeably. The IYC President is aware that this same heterogeneous scenario is what is obtainable even in Bayelsa State where they claim entirely as homogeneous Ijaw State.

We commend Garba Shehu, the spokesman of the Presidency for putting the records straight in the public sphere, that the Itsekiris in Delta State are more than the Ijaws, conscious of the fact that besides the three Warri local government areas, there are indigenous Itsekiri communities in Uvwie, Udu, Okpe, Sapele, Ethiope West local government areas respectively. ”It is totally an aberration that Ijaws can even think, talk less claim dominance in population in two out of the three Warri local government area of Delta State. We state categorically that the Itsekiris remains majority in the three Warri local government areas as shown in the 2006 National Population Census which is in the public domain.

‘’According to the 2006 National Population Census data the Itsekiris have more population than the Ijaws in Delta State. This is the rationale behind the confidence that the Itsekiri has, that they will always defeat the Ijaws in any electoral contest except there are political arrangements to give minority tribes opportunity to govern. “Besides the Itsekiris in Edo and Ondo State, the Itsekiri people exist in more than seven local government areas in Delta but predominantly in three Local government areas.

We have autonomous Itsekiri Communities in Sapele, Ethiope West, Uvwie, Udu and Ukwuani LGA. The Ijaws have turned fishing camps into Communities/settlement.

The Ijaws are fond of fabricating history which is built on quick sand; we challenge the ijaws of Delta State to provide verifiable documents to substantiate their claims.

“The Ijaws have continued to benefit from direct disregard for the rule of law, some of which include the arbitrary relocation of Warri South West Local Government headquarters from Ogidigben to Ogbe-Ijoh against the legally recognized place and the purported acquisition of maritime University land, among others”.

DamiBukola:


What a nuisance!

You want to compare the Edo people with Ijaw population? Jesus!

DeeFlask:

aren't u supposed to be yoruba

AdaFonju:

Be quoting and deceiving yourself, 1500 Ijaws will continue to give you sleepless nights

Lajet:


You mean that Ijaw are not more than 1500 people in Edo state so why are they disturbing the peace of Edo people. Even my family linage is more than 1500 people in Population

Datazone:

Nairalanders can see how you stylishly evaded my questions. I feel bad myself and every other Nairalanders have been replying you because you're a lost sheep. How can an Ijaw babe bear "Ada" and you're here throwing insults at Bini girls when you don't even know where your dad comes from (Igbo or Ijaw), you simply go haywire at every opportunity. Listen, we all know the Ijaws for one thing which you will agree with me, they are:

1. Primitive and militancy.
2. Ogogoro loving people.
3. Illiteracy ( they boast of being the tribe with the least educational background). Their region should be integrated in UTME as Education Less Developed States (ELDS) like the North to help assuage this. Your tribe shouldn't forgive Jonathan.

Datazone:


Hahaha. So you mean say dem nor truly build house for there too? These guys are really illiterates. I feel happy for them that are gradually going to school. In years to come, we that are educated will defeat them in the law court and take back all our lands. They think guns can save them forever.. haha

AdaFonju:

The biggest source of revenue to edo state is in 2 streets then

Datazone:

It's either you're drunk or mad. Apart from Delta and Bayelsa, the Ijaw communities in other South-South LGA is very small (less than 30 houses), take for instance, the Ijaws in Edo.

charliboy654:

Fact my foot, so everything on the internet is now a fact. Ijaws are truly illiterate.

APL33:


Ur head dey there. one bottle of HEINEKEN laced with KUNU for u

nasoeb:


beni people? who want challenge those ashawo producing set of people. we no want challenge that title. beni people wey dey beg to be acknowledge as the ownera of lagos state. land grabbers. we are not in the same league mate.

Xda59:


They are the fulani herdsmen of the south. Useless set of ogogoro drunks.

verydark:


ijaw is nothing in the delta.

charliboy654:

Urhobo are 1000 times more than ijaws in delta.

gregyboy:

Even the pere will curse yoy right now for using is name to lie

Abagworo:
Very useless thread. So if anyone says Itsekiri is more populous than Ijaw then you'll start killing Itsekiris.

There is a sitting Pere in Edo state and it will remain unchanged... The Oba of Benin and Governor Obaseki have made their empty threats but it hasn't changed a thing.

You guys to get used to the fact that 1million Ijaws CANNOT be bullied by anybody...

Themandator:



Edo, be specific ...Benin, Ishan, Igalla or Auchi.

TonyeBarcanista:
Some people are just perennially embittered, shameless and envious of the Ijaw nation.

It is a truism that the Ijaw nation is the undisputed 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria with population of 15 million people (not 14 million)...

Haters should go and die!

Themandator:



[s]Ijaws are saying that they are more in numbers than the itsekiri ethnic group, in Delta state true or false, .... leave the extras and stopping insult them before they unleash another rain of terror on you guys ...I was in warri live when it went down the other time .... I recall how men had to write this house na Ibo man own ....this house na Isoko man own ...abeg no wake dem ...park we[/s]ll

osazsky:
how many ijaw has android phones ?havnt seen anyone online .i am certain that they don't know how to use d internet

April4th:


In this lengthy write up, the only point one can make out of it is your ignorance about the ijaw race. How can you say the Ijaws in Edo state are not more than 5,000? You need to visit the creeks of the Noger Delta to get your real figures, not sit behind your smart phone and type whatever you feel.

Datazone:


You see why we all keep saying you and your kinsmen are still in the dark? The first graduate in Nigeria was an Itsekiri king - Olu Antonio Dom Domingos. Before Ginuwa came to meet Itsekiris in present day Delta, communities like Omadino and Ugborodo have been in existence. Everyone in Nigeria, even the Portuguese and British, knows that Itsekiri is from Niger Delta. Is it not a shame that the tribe (Ijaw) you claimed is from Niger Delta do not have any Kingdom (except the scam called gbaramatu that was made ten years ago)? I challenge you to name any prominent Ijaw man in the Old Warri Province. Just name one. I can list pages of Itsekiris. If you claim your tribe owns Warri. Just name one.

Noccerino:
Saying that Ijaw make up 10% of Nigeria population is to say one in every 10 nigerian is an Ijaw.... This is clearly a false claim cos I have not met up to 50 ijaws in my entire life.
