Source: http://towncrieronline.net/2017/03/15/crisis-brews-in-edo-as-benin-and-ijaw-youths-flaunt-placards-claiming-gelegele/ As shared by Hon Charles Eyimofe Pemu[i] Ijaw vs Benin Communal Crisis looming as the Ijaws contend ownership of Gelegele community in Benin Kingdom , Ovia South West Areas of Edo State where there's gas flow station. The President of the Ijaw Youths Council ( IYC ) , Mr. Eric Omare has warned that, if the issue of Gelegele community in Edo State ownership is not properly handled it will lead to a serious fracas between the Ijaws as a nation and the Binis as a kingdom. He further lamented that , they (Ijaws) have longed been marginalized by the edo government by depriving them of their share from their God given natural resources. The youths of Benin kingdom staged a solidarity match to the oba palace after the threats from their ijaw tenants and then send a message to the ijaws that , the Binis are not cowards but, warriors and their military unit is ever ready to reprise whatever external aggression. According to some of the angry Benin youths who speaks on behalf of the Binis in a very strong bitter tone that ' they (the Binis) are not the kind hearted and peaceful itsekiri people who are the overlords of warri kingdom but,let go their lands to their tenants just to make peace between them and tenants. that they ( the Bini's ) are ready to defend what belongs to them as their gesture to accommodate tenants shouldn't be mistaken for stupidity. One of the Benin youths ask ' How old is the Ijaw kingdom in Nigeria that's if they have one and how many dynasty has reigned under the ijaws? He further said that the Benin kingdom has reigned over 40 monarch of which is the son of the 14th oba who suppose to be heir of Benin kingdom that established the great warri kingdom in the 1480AD so, he asked where were the others that are now fighting over lands as at then when others was establishing kingdoms? He asked 'what are their history to provd they own a place rather than claiming with violence approach? Another of the Benin youth made a reference to the throne of England which is the highest monarchy in the world today though, not history of mankind that ' Is no not a breaking news but a known fact that , all tribes and persons in England remains under her majesty, the queen of England . He said, though God created and own all lands but only afew were made kings over others and that must be respected for the sake of peace. Note that there has been issues between the Ijaw vs Itsekiri of warri kingdom, Ijaw vs Urhobo of Aladja, Ijaw vs Ilaje, Ijaw vs Yoruba of ondo, ijaws now vs Benin kingdom and there is ijaws vs federal government please is Nigeria an Ijaw community or is there something we are not being told? People are still wondering how lands that was known in the 70s as Okerenghigo are now known as Okerenkoko via political manipulation. My take on this : There is a need for the federal government to take a stand on the issue of land dispute to put an end to all these problem once and for all because we are going to have such issue over and over if a long lasting solution is not put in place. We are all suppose to be brothers and sisters by the virtue of being human created by the Almighty God but, due to excessive greed and power of supremacies over others as a result of who should have a larger share, some groups persons and ethnic nationalities are forcefully encroaching into others with the use of violence as if one own the monopoly of violence over the others. The earlier the federal government stop handling such issue with carrot stick which is only but a short measure for them to continually extorting from the troubled region, the better for humanity irrespective of persons. In my option, I think the best way to resolve such threatening issues is to follow due process and respect the rule of law which is the last hope of the oppressed and common man. Justice cannot be achieved through the application of violation, oppression and suppression of other but, by presentation of evidence and references to show originality therefor, All parties should tender their proof of ownership over lands and the need for those in the appropriate authorities of government to be sincere in passing of judgement. Charles Eyimofe Pemu.[/i] The first photo shows Ijaw youths claiming the area, the latter photos show Benin youths doing the same thing. CC: Lalasticlala, Mynd44 1 Like 1 Share

the benin kingdom made a mistake by not taking the fulani approach when they had the opportunity to dominate and spread..if they had taken advantage of the strenghth of their dynasty yester years, they could have been a majority tribe in Nigeria...cos the ancient benin kingdom reached parts of anambra state which means some parts of igbo land could have been part of the benin kingdown...now i believe they are regretting the errors of the past, common small ijaw is challenging the greatest kingdown in subsahaaran Africa...now as it stands, the ijaws are the majority of of all the tribes in the niger delta, that has some political advantage, cos everything in Nigeria is politics and politics is a game of numbers... lesson: make the best use of your chances... 34 Likes 1 Share |

ch91: Prince Chima of Anioma sent the Bini warriors packing and drowned many of them in the niger river when they ventured into Igboland through the western front. Go read your history. Igbo have never and can never be conquered by an Indigenous African tribe. Ask yourself why despite Bini kingdom being a stone throw away from Igboland it couldn't influence Igboland substantially but went all the way to influence yorubaland and even naming a city Eko (present-day lagos). Eko was historically a war camp of the Binis. They also own the title Oba. 59 Likes 6 Shares |

DocHMD: Why must you flat heads always involve/drag Yoruba people into everything just to create mischief? In your foolishness you have displayed crass ignorance by delving into a subject that you know little to nothing about. At the risk of derailing this thread I feel your misinformation needs to be arrested lest it spreads. FYI, Binis DON'T own the Oba title (its origin is Yoruba and that's supported by history which I am sure you can easily access if you weren't so lazy, you ignoramus -- history shows and records that the present Bini royalty has Yoruba blood from Oranmiyan bloodline after the cessation of the Ogiso dynasty). I really don't care about your igbo people's links, influence or connection to Binis, but since you have shown yourself to be a mischievous revisionist/distortionist, I will gladly further expose your ignorance by referring you to Nnamdi Azikiwe's own admission that your Onitsha was founded by an edo/bini prince. The guy obviously preferred to identify with a bini origin than igbo. #Fact. Now choke on that. https://www.nairaland.com/2754636/onitsha-founded-edo-prince-nnamdi http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/threads/the-meaning-and-history-of-onitsha.75723/ "I can trace my maternal ancestry thus: I am the first son of Nwanonaku Rachel Chinwe Ogbenyeanu (Aghadiuno)Azikiwe, who was third daughter of Aghadiuno Ajie, the fifth son of Onowu Agbani, first daughter of Obi Udokwu, the son who descended from five Kings of Onitsha. Five of these rulers of Onitsha were direct lineal descendants of Eze Chima, who led his warrior adventurers when they left Benin to establish the Onitsha city state in about 1748 AD. 84 Likes 14 Shares |

Human beings have refused to learn because of greed,hatred and envy. I remember very well how Ijaws on this forum would be claiming known Igbo lands and communities in Nigeria and the Binis would be supporting them because of in-born hatred for the Igbos. Now look at it now. It has come to their doorsteps to bite their behinds. Good for them! 15 Likes 1 Share |

this bini people should leave warri out of there madness, why are they dragging warri into this ?, how dare them declare a single tribe as the original owner of warri? , they shouldn't think because people are quite they can tell who owns warri, Urhobo, itskiri and ijaw both control there part in warri and we are happy with that. they should face they land and lets others be. for those of you calling ijaw land grabber you know nothing about ijaw, ijaw land extend to ondo and Edo, most oil producing communities in Edo are ijaw communities. they think this is 300yrs ago, try ijaw people, them go show you pepper, overated edo people.. 17 Likes |
