The Itsekiris say the town's original name is Iwerre before it was corrupted by colonialists to 'Warri"
Also, Since you say Warri has two aboriginal populations, the Itsekiri and the Urhobo, what is the stake of the Ijaws in the matter? or are they just "participating" in the fight, to benefit from the ensuing fracas?

Freemanan:

Sediso will be glad...
WHERE is your location?

Freemanan:

That's the origin of the WARRI CRISIS of 1997... The Ijaws definitely are old age occupants who the government created a LGA for {Abacha} but the Itsekiri disagree as the citing of the headquarters at the Ijaw concentration saying it's their land so the administration bloc should be among their people... The Ijaws are JUST a microcosm so no much say...

scholes0:


interesting.
So what is your take on the entire issue?
was it right for the government to situate the headquarters of a new Warri Local government in an Ijaw settlement?

Freemanan:

WARRI SOUTH WEST LGA....
I didn't see anything wrong with it. It was to give them a sense of belonging here...

scholes0:


I see...
But like you said earlier- the land was ancestrally Itsekiri land... Moreso, the Ijaws already had their own local governments. What will happen, if the government chooses to create a new LG in the Burutu area, and put the headquarters in a small Itsekiri settlement? I am sure the Ijaws won't take that lightly.
I personally feel/think the Itsekiris are being bullied by their larger neighbors.
