OrlandoOwoh:The fact that the title Olu of warri is a disputed one tells the whole story i dont need to say much. blik u de forget say iwere children get boundary for warri de fit dance awankere pass okere market? abi u de forget say ovie of okere urhobo kingdom dey? As the op rightly puts it the itsekiri's were the first to have contact with white men in warri and also had the support of awolowo thus they used sense for the other two tribes! this is why it seems they have the edge politically. 1 Like |

abraka00: if not that I just prayed, I would have said u are a daft. How can u say the urhobos own warri? Are u joking? I have never heard urhobos argue about ownership of warri cos they know they don't own it!! That case u talk about court was the okumagba(urhobo) family who claimed an itsekiri land … because it's impossible for one family(okumagba) to live around itsekiri……… how come? Although they won the court case ……… check history & wikipedia…… Had it been the urhobos are in the position where the itsekiris are presently & historically, it will be glaring they own warri due to their population but because the itsekiris are small, the ijaws & urhobos are taking their benevolence & advantage for granted! And I heard you saying after this olu it will be reverted to "olu of itsekiri"? Iffa hear am…… except u wanna bring war. It's like saying the ijaws should release all itsekiri land they claimed ….. I beg to insult you, U ARE A DAFT!! … . Very annoying…… the itsekiris own warri.... history said so .... read between the lines. The ijaws should say what u said above(the itsekiris would accept it cos ijaws somehow live in warri right from time although not justified) but an urhobo! Abeg commot here … go read history before u post rubbish to incite crisis …… shit! 3 Likes 1 Share |

We are talking about history here.you can't say the land belong to no tribe.In d first place where re u from?Can u say your land belong to nobody?If u don't knw about something don't generalised. Warri has an historical chronicle and by that the land belong to a tribe despite their minority. And this type of topic should be totally expunged from Nairaland otherwise it may cause a serious brawl.Warri is itsekiri and itsekiri is Warri [/color] [color=#990000] |

[quote author=barcanista post=30758153]Op thank you. Well, I'm Ijaw frm Rivers State, this issue of Warri affects me so much because I have my brothers and sisters there. Well, I wouldn't want to go into any argument but I have to correct one impression. According to we the Ijaws, the word Warri originated from the Ijaw word "Wari" which means house. The Iwere stuff of the Itsekiri is unacceptable to us, and that is it. The Itsekiris are more educated and the British favored them, the Oil Companies also favored them against the Ijaws. What is keeping the Ijaws today is Almighty God and our zeal to defend ourselves against every odd. The issue of Warri is a very special one, and I believe a roundtable discussion should be convoked to solve every grey area once and for all. However, the Ijaws will not seek to take what is not theirs and will not lose an inch of what belongs to them. God bless us all[/quote] i laugh at ur comment. who started the ijaw-ilaje crisis in ondo state as at 1998?? itshekiri are the true owners of warri nd partly by the urohos, the ijaws migrated there just for fishing. |

Itsekiri' are not happy with the development and progress of theirs Neighbours (urhobo,ijaw and Isoko).they solely want development to themselves alone.they are always scheming on how to screw or outsmart their neiggbours.ijaws and urhobos are "live and let's live people " hence don't have issues with their neiggbours or other tribes. It took the ijaws and the urhobos a too long to know that the itsekiris aren't trusted neighbours. Itsekiris always have problems with theirs neighbours dues to their scheming and selfish agendas. Either Oil company issues , land dragging issues, LGA issues and many more.Currently the other tribes are tensed with them hence monitor their every moves / agenda since a scheme is always underneath .Ijaws don't tolerate them again and any scheming recently towards the ijaws from itsekiri leads to the battle ground.Isokos are lucky to not have a boundary with them |

Rapmoney:@rapmoney leave those ppl with their blind facts, I'm a born urhobo my mum is itsekiri and she's from the royal linage. My father who has had the history of warri in his hands have already made these facts clear to us his children. The itsekiris own warri, the ijaws were fishermen, they paid rents nd other levies when they occupied those lands where they have collected by force. They cry that they are being oppressed nd they are the ones with the big guns. The urhobos age far from being owners of warri true urhobos know where they come from the ones claiming warri are just doing it out of greed. Long live warri, long live iwere Kingdom. 5 Likes |

zeezboy: U just said it all, it's the simple truth, forget about where d oil wells are located, the urhobos have never fought for a village that isn't clearly theirs. if you remove Uvwie, Okere-Urhobo and agbasa, what U have is a very tiny piece of land and swamps. people call the whole city warri this days, but a little while ago everybody knows that Effurun is different from warri. |

Who cares? When did their little warri ownership problem become a national discus? Any land you own belongs to you and your family,whether you are ijaw itshekiri or Urhobo because all three groups own the place. If they are unable to live in peace,Let them delete themselves if they like,Igbos will take over |
Re: Warri- The Urhobos, The Itsekiris And The Ijaws : Facts And Factlets. by OrlandoOwoh(m): 5:00am On Feb 16, 2015 |
eterisan:Don't mistake the closeness of some Urhobo towns to Warri for parts of Warri. Effurun and Igborikoko, for example, are not parts of Warri. This is the same thing as saying that Sango Ota is not Lagos State even though, owing to its closeness to Lagos State, some people call it part of the state. The same thing goes for Obio Akpor and Ikwerre LGAs now referred to as Port Harcourt because of their closeness. It may interest you to know that Uniport; NTA, Port Harcourt and Port Harcourt International Airport are not in Port Harcourt but in Obio Akpor and Etche LGAs respectively. |

Well can't say much about the ownership of Warri because i am an urhobo from Effurun. Though itsekiri's are politically favoured but one thing i notice about is that the love to encroach other people domain at any slightest opportunity. For instance Itsekiri laid claim to Ugboloposo in effurun, it somehow absurd how can a land surrounded by Udu, Uvwie and Okpe LGA be an itsekiri, it almost led to crisis but because the effurun people are peace loving people we let it go. Also Ubeji was ceded to the Itsekiri which formally belong to Ekpan. The painful part is that chevron which is in uvwie LGA if you don't have high level itsekiri endorsement and clearance you can't get employment; community slot |

From obvious facts,any URHOBO dat lays claim to has lost his roots,...the urhobos and the ijaws have always been tenants in warri,they tax to Olu of warri. how can they claim ownership when they used to pay land tax to d Itsekiris?.they just used the influence of sons WALTER FEGHABO(MILITARY ADMISTRATOR) AND JAMES IBORI(GOV) who are both ijaw and urhobo respectively to grab itsekiri lands and install kings(ogbe ijaw and OKERE urhobo kingdoms in @1998 and 1999 respectively. meanwhile warri kingdom (IWERE) has been in existence since 1467. 1 Like 1 Share |

AmazingDude: Errr, I'd have thought Bini would be the 4th, but I do know Urhobo is bigger than Ijaw. I'm from Delta, the number of places that are Urhobo-speaking surpass my language's spread and I am yet to meet several Ijaw people (because they're spread over Coastal areas in 2/3 states doesn't make it a large population). Reason it out: when people are asking about the main tribe of Delta or language, which language do they refer to? Urhobo Not Ika, not Ijaw, not Itsekiri (all my Itsekiri friends speak Yoruba sef), not Kwale, not Ibo (though Igbo people keep trying to claim Delta by force). It's Urhobo. |
