SciLab:
Ovie-omo-Agege and Adams oshio are their to protect the interest of bourdillon.

Why are yorubas the biggest online antagonists of Obaseki and Wike today? As if they are governing any part of yorubaland?

What Tinubu's interest is Ovie Omo Agege representing?

Please Yoruba have nothing against Obaseki, even the Oni blessed him the other day.

What interest of Yorubas would be protected should Obaseki lose or win Election?

Tranquillity360:
Am Ishekiri man,pls we are not yoruba.

Ok ipob youth

Since when did you became Ishekiri?

SciLab:
It is..
yorubas couldn't stand SS minorities running the country, be it Ijaw, Itshekiri Urhobo. That's why they went on overdrive.

They believe that if a southerner must be taking a 'huge pie' in any government, it must be a yorubaman or no one else. They ascribe to themselve 'first born' tag in the south. That's why the rest of the south is waiting keenly to put you in your rightful place come 2023.

yorubas can't try such nonsense with a northerner cause looting the national treasury. 2023 will be heavily pregnant.

Yes, and they supported Gej to win in 2011

Supported Adams Oshimole to become Chairman of Apc

Even supported Ovie Omo Agege to become Deputy senate president when a certain igbo man stood and called him names in front of the Senate just to sway voters against him

Yorubas truly hate everyone!

SciLab:
Their was no dirty name yorubas didn't call Oritsejafor just because he is a minority from the Niger delta, a pastor and close to GEJ.

Bling bling pastor, Theiving pastor, arms smuggling pastor, pdp pastor, TANdroid pastor, corrupt pastor are a few that I recall.

If he were a pure yoruba like osinbajo, he wouldn't have suffered the same fate. But he was a bloody minority from the SS so he was fair game for yoruba army of online BMC dogs.

Apparently it is not different from how Igbos treated Okorocha, Amechi and Joe igbokwe for supporting APC.

Philistine:
Shame on you! You have low self esteem. Deliberately attaching yourself with other tribes just to feel good. Both igbos and Yorubas have deep self esteem problems. Spits!

Bro petition Papa Ayo.

Dafry or whatever you call yourself, please face your Isoko and allow other reasonable people to comment.

Nwanyiogwashi:
put your energy here and leave Delta state alone

Ok oh Ada sulu Gambari.

mamaafrik:
Yorubaland is big from kabba to benin kingdom to itsthekiri,to benin republic to Togo to Liberis to southern America.

Some one is now saying ibos are more numerous than Yoruba.

Obasanjo should have removed the Emir of Ilorin and given the throne to the rightful owner ,after that remove kogi and kwara from North central.

Binis are not Yorubas, even Papa Ayo said as much in this interview.

SciLab:
When was this interview granted. The timing is important.

Was it before 2015 or after the elections when yorubas insulted CAN and Pa Oritsejafor calling him all sorts of unprintable names such as 'bling bling' pastor, thieving pastor with private jet. etc.

This interview should be around December 2019 based on the website I copied it from.

And apparently, APC members insulted him not Yorubas as a whole.

Nwanyiogwashi:
no Yoruba in Delta state Mister man

Sis, please I am not the one to face.

I don't even know as much as Papa Ayo who happens to be a prominent Ishekiri son.

I haven't said anything, I only posted a news.

Direct your questions to Papa Ayo.

ThatFairGuy:
I said it? Do you know more than him?
Besides, what's with you and kwara state? You wan turn gandollar?

Na Ada Sulu Gambari be that oh

An Ishekiri man is taking about his history, another person that is not Ishekiri is saying that it's a lie.

Nwanyiogwashi:
Oga respect yourself no Yoruba in Delta state

I am not Pastor Ayo

Go to his Facebook or social media handle to complain.

Lostz:
I was only replying you when you said they haven't produced a senator.
they may be small but hardworking and industrious. they hardly go hungry unlike their Anioma, ukwuani and Ndokwa brothers who want to be spoon-feed

Well I honestly don't know much about those places in Delta.

However, if I am to take your word for it, I will well done to the Isokos.

Lostz:
the Isoko have only two local government

Thanks for making my point for me
They can't compare

Ayodele Joseph Oritsegbubemi Oritsejafor, fondly called Papa Ayo Oritsejafor by many of his numerous admirers is the founding and Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, located in Warri, Nigeria. He became the national president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) on the 7 February 2005, a position he held for five years.. He was elected President of CAN, Christian Association of Nigeria. As a result of this, he became the first Pentecostal leader to hold the two positions simultaneously. He is married to Hellen Oritsejafor and they are blessed with many children in the Lord. In this interview, he speaks about the history of Itsekiri people and other topics:


what would you say is unique about the Itsekiri people of Warri kingdom?


First of all, it is very important to establish the fact that Christianity started in Nigeria in Warri kingdom. It is what the average Itsekiri man or woman knows but they don’t talk about it. One of the reasons they don’t talk about it is a lack of spirituality. The first church that was built in Nigeria was not in Abeokuta, Badagry or anywhere. It was built here in the 16th century. The ruins of it are still here.
The first Christian missionary that came here was the Roman Catholic. In fact, the first contact with a white man was here. The Itsekiri people are the first contact with the white man in Nigeria.

By the way, the second thing that many people in Itsekiri may not elaborate on is that Itsekiri is Yoruba. The Itsekiri language is a dialect of the Yoruba language. Itsekiri people migrated from Yorubaland. Some of them migrated directly from Ife. Some migrated from the riverine areas of Ijebu, and some migrated from Ondo. Some of them especially the ones that migrated from Ife, they migrated with the Ilaje. The Ilaje stopped at a point but the Itsekiri continued and they ended up here in Warri.

Now, a few of them came from Benin Kingdom. The Benin connection came from the palace. The palace connection is still Yoruba at the end of the day because the first Oba of Benin was a son of Oduduwa.
The first Olu of Warri was a first son of the Oba of Benin. That’s the Benin connection. The Itsekiri, when they moved here, they came with their Ife.
The upland Yoruba called it Ifa. We are the waterside Yoruba. Our people will call the other Yoruba, Iroke. They called the Oyo people Iroke and other Yoruba Iroke but the Yoruba called them Ara Oke. This history is very important because they are dying away. In those days, the Ife which the mainstream Yoruba will call Ifa was the god of divination. The Ife had told the Itsekiri people that a prince would come and become their king. Therefore, they stayed without a king for a very long time, in fact for many years.

They were waiting for that prince, eventually this prince who was the first son of the Oba of Benin was a grandson of Oduduwa. He was very proud so he had a lot of problems with Benin chiefs. They were going to kill him. His father who was the Oba of Benin, you know he was supposed to be the Oba of Benin after his father, but for his own protection, his father had to get him out of Benin Kingdom. He gave him about 70 chiefs.

They smuggled him out, put him in a boat and they performed all kinds of rituals. They put him in a boat then sailed to Warri. When he ended up here, remember our own people were waiting for a prince, they have been waiting for years.

When he arrived, they consulted their Ife again and the Ife says, “This is the prince”. So, that was how he became the first Olu of Warri. That was how the first Olu of Warri came about.


In those days, in the palace, in Warri kingdom, they used to speak Yoruba. The palace was 100% Yoruba. Don’t forget the Itsekiri language is a dialect of Yoruba land and therefore a Yoruba language as it is to this day. The Benin are not Yoruba; they are descendants of Oduduwa but the palace is Yoruba

Juliusmalema:
Isoko will form greater part of Oduduwa republic.

Stop saying nonsense

Isoko has nothing to do with Yorubas

not language, not culture, not tradition

They are better in Biafra.

Lostz:
yes! an Isoko man from Ozoro. he was a close ally of buhari and one of the dead board chairman appointed by buhari.

second republic senator

Yes, was

Yorubas have more than 20 senators as at present in Nigeria

6 Governors if not 7

Yorubas have produced presidents in two African countries, coincidentaly both chaired African Union at different times

I am talking about a Certain Olusegun Obansonjo and Boni Yayi of Benin republic.

The Isoko boy shouldn't drag positions with Yorubas.

Lostz:
there was senator okpozo

was a senator?

Was!

BlowYourMind:
Chaiiiiiiii fear GOD my brother.

No be so

BlowYourMind:
Add Jonathan zombies too and Kanu nnamudu Zombies

Please don't insult Kanu followers zombies, they are more like his slaves.

He should resign because of what?

Igboid:
They are known as Odiani and no longer Olukumi.
There Igbonization is at a very advanced stage, and they are happy with that.
Move on. If any thing, be happy you replaced them with those Edo people in Akoko SE of Ondo that you are currently Yorubanizing at advanced stage. Epinmi, Ipe, Isua, etc.

You don't see Edos claiming them.

Let's not talk about the Tapas in Lagos and the Eguns.

Who are the Tapas in Lagos?

There is only one Tapa family in lagos from Balogun Tapa Oshodi

Akoko Ondo is different from Akoko Edo, they don't have the same orgin.

SocialJustice:
Yes, he is not. There are Urhobo and Ijaw Kings in Warri too. The title is actually Olu of Itsekiri but [/b]I think Awolowo was the one who changed it to Olu of Warri to score political point[/b]

There are people who refer to the title as Olu of Itsekiri because in reality, the title holder rules over itsekiris alone and not Warri City unlike the Oba of Benin that is a Demigod in Benin City.

Ishekiri actually demanded it

They started demanding it from the colonial period at about the 1930s but the British preferred Olu of Iwerre instead.

When they proposed it to Awolowo, he saw them as his ijebu brothers and gave it to them.

It's on record that Awolowo last visit was to Warri to see the Olu before his death.

The title so angered the Ijaws and Uhrobo that it became the background to the eventually reason they supported the creation of a Midwest region.

Igboid:
They are not between Edo and Igbos.
They are completely surrounded by Igbos (Enuani).
If you meet any Odiani person outside Delta and ask him or her where she/he is from, they would probably tell you Issele-uku. Because its the biggest community in the area and most popular too. It hosts NYSC orientation camp of Delta state.

True

I see it from their map

Igboid:
They are currently known as Odiani, and they don't identify as Yorubas, they identify as Enu-ani, Anioma, and then Igbo.

Yorubas are generally reasonable and realize there's no way those Yorubas can ever be reunited with us.

The Olukumi are in between Edos and Igbos and share no natural boundary with other Yorubas, just like Ijaws in Ondo trapped between Yorubas and Ishekiri.

nineone:
The two Ika Local governments don't produce that much but talking about Ukwuani? You're just too ignorant m. They have the purest and largest amount of natural gas in Nigeria. You started by claiming anioma doesn't produced oil at all then changing it to how many barrels. You're either ignorant or dishonest. I'm not very much interested in this argument I would have presented you with official records. I only responded because I kept seeing the falsehoods being repeatedly peddled that anioma doesn't have oil and nobody challenged the lie

@ emboldened is not true

darfay:
Ask sulu gambari and his uncle Ibrahim gambari, the rulling Fulani dynasty in kwara. They control all Yoruba lands all the way to jebba


Kwara central is Fulani dominated

You are that your hateful friend from Jos should read history rather than pulling stories straight from your Arse

Even you way dey talk, no be slave you be?

You should focus on your two Isoko local government areas and leave people with the highest stakes in Nigeria to discuss important issues.

Call me when tiny Isoko produces ordinary a Senator in the Federal Republic of Nigeria?


Iranu! no make I change am for you.

forgiveness:
You got wait tire. Na Nairaland evidence em get. kkkkk

The low IQ idiot thinks pulling statistics straight from his arse is what is called intelligence

The hateful little twit actually thinks he is better than everyone.

He thinks being hateful and full of bitter emotions would save his people from the slutter house in the hands of their Fulani over lord.

He even once said UI is not the first university in Nigeria.

Pathetic!

Nowenuse:
See, abeg, I am allergic to people with..low intelligence.
Did I tell you thatddi Kwararafan conquest of Igala land is in that link?

Abeg, I only engage intelligent people with something upstairs.

One thing I hate in my life is the fact that you are a dishonest person with very high sense of self worth.

You are actually the least intelligent person I have ever interacted with on this forum..

The genesis of our argument was about your imaginary conquest of an Akoto group by people of Kwararafa to establish a new tribe called Igala

Now the king in your source claims that the Igala were actually a tribe established before the Yorubas. He claimed Igala and igbos were first ethnic groups in Southern Nigeria

So where does your Conquest story factor in all of these?

forgiveness:
He does not have any cogent evident to back up his malicious fallacy. Yes. It remains fallacy until he proves me wrong.

His evidence is a newspaper article where every monarch was trying to claim superiority over the other.

I thought we will see solid Empirical evidence to back his claims.

forgiveness:
Did I dispute Igala languague is similar to Yoruba?

Can you proof Igala are from Yoruba? Who was there forefathers?

Abi you see the boy

He thinks he can bobo anybody here

Atta never said Igala are Yorubas.

He said the Yorubas and Igala might have being one single ethnic group a long time ago.

Nowenuse:
Sorry I forgot to post it.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/05/igbo-yoruba-affinity-ifa-oracle-is-the-connecting-link-of-original-nigerians-attah-of-igala/amp/

Cc forgiveness

Do you read what you posted?

Where did Atta say he came from Kwararafa to conquer Akoto or the nonsense you wrote earlier?

The Atta even claimed that Igala and igbos were the first People in Nigeria or something like that.

forgiveness:
Can you please show me proof that Igala are Yoruba or decendants of any village or people called Yoruba? I no like too much story. Thanks.

Bro, you are wasting your time

He made the comment out of hate and nothing else.
