Yes its Igbo state
Ijaws have to live with the odua anthem because they are not even up to 2% in ondo state

People are so obsessed about igbo that their hatred of igbos are suffocating them, how did you know that the person you are quoting is igbo? So myopic, where was igbo even mentioned in that thread?

Shut up. I know him very well. Even though this is a new moniker, I know so many people here

iSlayer:
Ijaw like trouble eh. The Fulanis of the South.

In this case, they simply don't want ijaw language to go extinct because most I jaws in ondo state are already speaking Yoruba language. Most of them even bear Yoruba names

What is 1% tribe saying ?

Anyone who criticizes you people on Nairaland is automatically Igbo.

BTW, the Ijaws in Ondo State are just making unnecessary noise because I know that many of them bear Yoruba names and speak the language fluently too.

Even ogun state have a state anthem.

Ijaws are migrants in Ondo state, they should be careful

Abi oo
It's ridiculous !

Omoyele Sowore is behind this. Always claiming he's not a Yoruba man but wants the support of Yoruba youth.

jimyjames:

They should be carved back to niger Delta were they belong simple

That would be great! Joining Ijaw territory in Ondo state with that of their Kith and kin in the Niger Delta.

Greenback:


Go tell that to the fulanis in control of Ilorin. ;S

Go and face Wike in Oyigbo and see fire

Kinematics:



Ibo and Yoruba are same. As Niger deltans we have no trust in any of them, no matter how much they try to attach.

Niger Delta is not a tribe but a geographical creation

Ondo, Imo and Abia are Niger Delta states too

So speak for your tribe.

In fact some of them only understand Yoruba langauge and have only Yoruba names
What made this possible is because Yoruba language is a dominant langauge and its very sweet and easy to learn
Yoruba langaugeis also sweet when speaking it

[quote author=Greenback post=99374079]I wonder how that anthem will sound...maybe something like,"arise oh afonjaaa,ewedu call, coneheads obey...."

Baaaaahahahahahahhaahaaaaa!!!!

Residents of Ondo State of the Ijaw extraction have kicked against the state government adoption of the Odua anthem

The Ijaws urged the state government to immediately put on hold the Odua anthem adoption and conferred with Ijaw leaders to come up with the Ijaw version of the anthem if it must be sung in public places.

It would be recalled that the dissolved State Executive Council last week approved the adoption of the Odua anthem to be sung after the National Anthem at official and public functions.

It said the Odua anthem was meant to project the tradition and culture of the Yoruba tribe.

But the Ijaws described the action as highly provocative and very irritating, saying it portends a deliberate affront to the peace loving Ijaws of Ondo State.

The Ijaws accused Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of running Info without recourse to the pluralistic nature of the State.

Representatives of the Ijaws in the Ondo House of Assembly, Hon. Success Torhukerhijo representing Ese-Odo Constituency, said it was preposterous to adopt an anthem for the state in Yoruba language without thinking of the concerns of the Ijaws where the state has two ethnic nationalities- the majority Yoruba and the minority Ijaw.

Hon Torhukerhijo in a statement issued in Akure said it was a ploy to obliterate the Ijaws from the history of Ondo State.

Torhukerhijo urged Governor Akeredolu to tow the path of his predecessors who he said created a Subordinate Area Council which enjoyed almost equal status with other Local Governments in the state in 1981.

He said the action has put an average right thinking Ijaw man into psychological trauma saying it smacked of lack of social equality and an antithesis to a united, just and free society.

According to him: “It is perplexing that the Governor in spite of his pedigree does not possess the political will for an all-inclusive government and the Ijaws of Ondo State have been consistently subjected to neglect and abandonment on issues of state by his executive and administrative actions.

“It is pitiable that the Ijaws with a lot of qualified manpower do not have a Permanent Secretary, no Judge in the State High Court and we are short-changed in every facet of the State public service by Governor Akeredolu’s executive and administrative actions. It is pathetic that we have only one Magistrate Court in the whole of the over 250 communities in Ijaw land and no Magistrate is posted to the place.

interest of the Ijaws in Ondo state in his administrative and executive actions and in all aspects of governance.

“This is intolerable and is outrightly rejected by the Ijaw ethnic nationality.”

How ijaw people take enter Ondo state and Edo state?

SpatialKing:
Ondo was never a Yoruba state and can never be a Yoruba state... Why Odua Anthem?

ONDO NA HAUSA STATE NA....MUMU SOMEBODY

Kinematics:



Ibo and Yoruba are same. As Niger deltans we have no trust in any of them, no matter how much they try to attach.

Will you keep kwayet there little minority mongrel,you are living in eastern Nigeria known as Biafra land...you are not up to 4 million in population..

Nkapi.

Immigrants are growing wings, nonsensical nonsense

Fantasticcc:
Ondo is not a Yoruba state, Yorubas should be careful

I weep for ur level of stupidity bro

Lol minority is flexing muscles

Omuaro38:
These minority Ijaw scums are really very daring and parasitic irritants, are they even indigenous to Ondo state or did they migrate there to settle?

freedom of movement, and right to citizenship.

Givaxy:

Yes its Igbo state

They are not up to 2% of the state, yet the oil from their land accounts for 70% of Ondo state's GDP.
Please look up for the meaning of parasite you conehead Afonja man.

Givaxy:

Don't mind them, they are not even the majority in the LGA they occupy. Lol. I have a friend from there

Uchasa:
Merely because the Ijaws asked that the anthem be translated to their language, Afonjas are insulting them?
It seems Afonjas have forgotten that the oil producing parts of Ondo State are Ijaw areas. Without oil,Cone heads can't survive, that's why the only few rich men in their barren waste land are always oil and gas shareholders. Afonjas should either listen to the great Ijaws or tow the way of violence which the Ijaws are very good at,Ijaws are not Afonjas, they are not cowards!
One Ijaw man is physically and spiritually stronger than five cone heads.
A word is enough for the wise!!!!

Lienus. Ilaje is the only part of Ondo state with both oil and bitumen and also with Atlantic(ocean) coast. There is nothing in Ese odo.
