Yea u re correct

The Itsekiris are bordered by the Edo and Ilajes towards the north
Urhobo to the east and ijaws to the south


The atlantic bothers to the west


That map is not correct and i see it as an eye measurement map lol..


Nice write up from.the OP

reason I pointed the error out on time.. before they mistake itseke land for ijaw.. a stitch in time save 9.

Afam4eva:

Andoni people are not Ijaws even though they were influenced heavily by the Ijaw. They're also influenced by Ibibio and Ibo depending on which part of Andoni you find yourself.

Trust an Ibo man to be an expert in all things not Ibo, this is not Mbaise I'm talking about, Andoni is and will always be an Ijaw clan and everyone from there Identifies as such, influenced by Ibibio? Yes, who wouldn't be influenced by Ibibio in Akwaibom, but that doesn't change their founders from Ijaw to Ibibio

How do u separate Itsekiri and Ijaw land?

Are u on drugs? There land is mixed with Ijaw still all the way in Ondo, Lagos upto Ghana.

Even to ivory coast and gambia

Stupid igbo boy

Nicho118:
the agbarho dialect is the more accepted one.. though agbon and agbarho dialect are very alike.. u can't even see the difference

Okay I agree now, fratermathy is right after all, BTW what do you think about central ughelli dialect, don't you think it's easier to learn too?

my brother I tire.... am not itsekiri, but I don't support nonsense.. the map even lump ilaje and a huge part of itsekiri as Ijaw land, all in a bid to connect with the little ijaw enclave in ondo and edo.

the guy you quoted knows nothing about Niger Deltans.

YEYE Afonja, u cant tell wen somebody is typing and sleeping.

I have corrected the typo, go and read it again.

Efewestern:


you are not an ijaw man, you just one come here they cause wahala.

how is itsekiri land intertwined with ijaw land? , are you high?, itsekiri share boundary with ijaw same way she shares boundary with ilaje and urhobo.

itsekiri land belongs to itsekiri people.. don't come here and write rubbish. I don't support nonsense.

I faulted the earlier map because itsekiri land and ilaje land were map under izon, why I think was wrong.

See boundary expert.

This is y i laugh Urhobo boyz 4 nairaland.

U dont even know anything about western Ijaw territory.

Continue deceiving urself.

Andoni just like Ogoni are not Ijaw, u shouldn't claim minority groups amongst minorities as Ijaw.

the itsekiri no doubt share boundary with Ijaw, but the map I quoted is not correct, Itsekiri is not landlocked like the picture portray, below is what itsekiri land looks like.

They are bounded to the west by the Atlantic ocean, and to the south by ilaje

if you think am wrong you can please provide proof we are learning, I gat itsekiri native here who can verify your claim (0nu waje)

I never said Ogoni people are Ijaw, anyone saying Andoni isn't Ijaw is just ignorant. The Obolos are proud Ijaws and do not have identity crises unlike most tribes.

There is something u seem to forget wen talking about Itsekiri.

They are also an Ijoid group. Itsekiri are basically Ijaw mixed with Yoruba.

In itsekiri land, it is common to find ijaw settlement.

Una can claim ehn! I never see people dat can make claims like Ijaw before.

Shut your trap there, Itsekiri is an Ijoid group since when?
You are suffering from cognitive dissonance, all in your bid to promote an Igbo agenda.

You are disagreeing with an Ijaw man (Nengibo) in some posts, and also supporting Ijaws against Itsekiris in another post with Efewestern and Onuwaje.

Agent of confusion.

hammer6:


Itsekiri and Ijaw land are intertwined. Dat is y dey clash. U cannot separate Itsekiri from Ijaw.

intertwined in what context?

can u cite examples?

cos i can boldly say the urhobo x isoko re intertwined

that map is not even too accurate as edo is land locked.

Also

Did someone just map the entire rivers state as Ijaw?

ancient maps like these re the reasons why we have Nigeria today because they didn't really pay attention to details (minorities behind the minorities)

Also

the map was identifying the empires the way it was befre the white men came..

O.k. I see. If that is the case (empires) then Lagos is part of benin, ondo and co.

Well the ijaws we have in ondo are migrates! !! . I for one know that,

from your map it is safe to say itsekiri have been identified as a separate kingdom even before the Name Nigeria was formed.

also do you notice ilaje , some part of ijaw , urhobo and isoko were map under Edo?, meaning some part of Yoruba were consider edo territory,

The ilaje are more of itsekiri than Edo, the colonial masters need their head checked.

Zoolezoo:
Case closed.

this map is more like linguistic group. (Yoruboid)

No doubt yoruboid extend to SS and NC, but the map is also at fault, the ijaw group in ondo were Map under Yoruba.

what do you think?,
