The last time these two groups fight in Delta, I was working with an oil company then. The Ijaws would have completely eliminated the Itsekiris if not for government intervention. From what I saw then, the Itsekiris are mouthy even though they are in minority. The Itsekiris are one of the smallest ethnic group in the country but their women flirts like another thing, that is why I love them.. They do not give damn whether or not they are married, they can easily take another woman's husband at a glance. They are among the greatest flirts in the world. The Isekiris can only be found in Warri only. They share the Warri South, share ,Warri north with the Urhobos and the Ijaws, while the Ijaws owns the Warri south West LG. I am not from Delta but worked there for more than fifteen years before I lrft. The Ijaws singularly owns Bomadi, Burutu LGs, all in Delta

itsekiri women flirts??

please can u elucidate more on this

Until you take an ignorant man through a preliminary knowledge he will continue to bask in the solitude of his foolishness and ignorance, that is the case of the ijaw and their falsified historical gibberish, I will like to quickly answer some of the delusional fact about a one paged history of the ijaw people, first and foremost this people are not recognized anywhere in the world but the little known about them is thuggery, land evaders, kidnapping, bunkering, arm robbery etc. God gave one of their Son the opportunity to rectify their waywardness but he became even the worst and most corrupt president in the history of Nigeria instead of sending this hooligans back to primary school or at best secondary school he was empowering them through ammunitions, well for the purpose of this article let me answer some of your allegations.

First the ijaws have been unable to tell us where exactly their origin is, they are liken to the biblical Cain who was the first known fugitive. They went further to say they are about 15 millions in number, don’t forget that in early 60s it was on record that they were the fifth most populated minorities in the then Old eastern region how then in less than 60 years they are now the most populated tribe in Niger Delta for clarity lets fragmentize so the world can know that this people are born liars

In the last presidential election, Bayelsa their sole state could not produce up to 500, 000 votes, they are less than 5, 000 ijaws in Edo which can be visibly proved during the September 28th gubernatorial election, they are less than 50, 000 in Ondo States while in Delta State the Urhobos are about 1.5million in population as the most populated tribe in Delta it therefore means the Ijaw are less than 1million, then in River State predominately dominated by Ikwerres I put it to you that they are not up to 100, 000 Ijaws living there, with all this analysis the Ijaw population in Nigeria is between 1-1.5million, propaganda cannot get you people anywhere but facts



If anything happen to any itshekiri in delta you will have Edo Nation to contend with so make u dis small ijaws park well!!

Nice I like your analysis but u didn't analyse the itshekiri.
From my observation oh I think they are almost same number with isolo or a little more.

Ijaws, urhobo,Ibo( ukwani and agbor included) are more.

Empty threat, where were you people when this same ijaws virtually wipe out the itsekiri nation or you were not born then

Why not direct their threats to Garba Shehu or the Hausa tribe in general, or are they scared of the hausas but feels like incredible hulk towards the itsekiris.

I'm Not here for beer parlor talks... talk with facts or get lost already. Even with the truth staring right at u, u chose not to accept it.... My God!

For the records, there is no sitting pere in Edo state. What is the use of a king if he's not recognized by even the next community? Lol... It's not about the name, it's about the influence of a king that's why it's called "king"... Dumbhead

Empty threat, where were you people when this same ijaws virtually wipe out the itsekiri nation or you were not born then

Please go and ask your father or uncles the outcome of the 1999 - 2005 Ijaw - itsekiri conflict. It was the Ijaw that begged for peace after the warri annihilation of the Ijaw boys and for the first time the itsekiris went on the offensive.

Why should you be incited to hurt your neighbors?
There's something fundamentally wrong with that statement.
Garba Shehu is not an Ijaw or Itsekiri man, so why do you believe he's speaking for anyone from that region?
Even if he was an Itsekiri man, what he says doesn't mean he's representing the Itsekiri people.

Some people are just perennially embittered, shameless and envious of the Ijaw nation.

It is a truism that the Ijaw nation is the undisputed 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria with population of 15 million people (not 14 million)...

Haters should go and die!

I was grinning when reading other comments but I had to laugh when I read yours.

Ijaws are 15million in Nigeria .... please you Ijaws( both the Izon and her franchises) should get serious and stop playing to the gallery. You had your time when people took you seriously but now it all seems one huge joke. please there are more pressing issues in Ijawland than dishing out empty threats.

that's how they will want to instigate us against the itshekiris yeye

waveman2:

You have counted them and you know their population. People that talk like illiterates.

In a country of 250 ethnic groups, and abt 180 million people, how can ijaw be 10 percent, make una use sense lie abeg.

Very useless thread. So if anyone says Itsekiri is more populous than Ijaw then you'll start killing Itsekiris.

You lie on all fronts.

The Ijaws had the upper hand for most of the conflict because they were well prepared and their main objective was to carry out ethnic cleansing and drive the itsekiris out of their lands. They used the excuse of relocation of local government headquarters as a cover to carry out genocide against the itsekiris. We the itsekiris were taken completely unawares, we had no guns, no trained fighters, nothing. We were simply sitting ducks, and the government did not do much to protect the itsekiris, they only set up committees after committees. The Ijaws burnt most of our villages and even large town like koko. The kill women and children including one of my nephew.
It was after we organised ourselves were we able to plan a counter offensive. We had to arm ourselves, luckily the same people that sold arms to the Ijaws also sold arms to us. We took our boys into the forest and gave them military training. By the time the Ijaws felt confident enough to carry out a full scale attack on warri, we were ready. Our newly trained boys killed so many of the invaders, that their fighting force were decinated. It was then we went on the offensive. Our boys also started ransacking their villages. But the itsekiris were not so inhumane to start killing women, children and old men as done by the Ijaws.

Immediately, the Ijaws saw that the itsekiris were now on the offensive, they ran to abuja and asaba to sue for peace. It was then we sat down and negotiated peace.

Now if the Ijaws want to start another conflict based on any silly excuse, be my guest, but this time it will not be easy as the itsekiris are better prepared.

As per itsekiris girls being flirts, well that is a lie. There are many people on this forum with itsekiri wives, ask their opinion, and there are many celebrities with itsekiris wives, have you heard any scandal involving married itsekiri ladies?

I can boldly say u are an ijaw man, probably from bayelsa, ur post doesn't even relate to the topic. How many Itsekiri women have u met ur entire life to make such claim. Why bringing Itsekiri women into this. Flirting is not a tribal thing but individual. Every other tribe has women that flirt too. U claim to have worked in an oil company but u are talking like an illiterate, I guess u were probably a cleaner or something.

Our youths need to grow sense abeg. The OP has ulterior motive by using a misleading title different from what the ijaw said and some f.ools have already fallen into the trap .

Miscellaneous:
The Ijaws are the only set of individuals with no documented history in Nigeria and are only out to rewrite the history of virtually every other tribe .... binis, illajes, itsekiris, yorubas, Ibos, urhobos, Fulanis & what have you.

These set of individuals are so myopic that they think we are still in the dark ages. They are the main cause of underdevelopment in the Niger Delta albeit investors shy away from the oil rich region. To further make Nigerians familiarise themselves with their stupidity, their stupid son from bayelsa, out of sheer luck, went to occupy the no 1 seat of the country and instead of bringing the goodies to the very poor and despised Niger deltans in his own capacity went ahead to shower goons & fools with the wealth of the nation. It's laughable that even yenagoa has no cinema & virtually no relaxation centre... So myopic.

When u think their craziness has seen it's all time high, u begin to wonder as soon as you see another charade of iintelligence. A most interesting part is their refusal to allow the export processing zone project(suppose to be largest in west africa) takeoff because they claim the supposed site was theirs instead of Itsekiri. What about the maritime university at okerenghigho(ijaw changed the Itsekiri land to theirs and named it okerenkoko) ? The land is recognized by our Constitution as okerenghigho but the Federal government are afraid of these half baked raging ijaws. It is even funny that no one is saying anything about okerenghigho abd buhari is going ahead to commission the project because itsekiris are not threatening hell and brimstone. It's even funnier that royalties accruing from okerenghigho(forcely named okerenkoko) are paid to itsekiris because they recognize them as owners.

In truth, the subject of who really owns warri is long but I must tell you that when you talk about the warri province, u can never remove the itsekiris- the great NANA, Dore Numa and others yet, no ijaw man can even be recognized. Can you compare the itsekiri kingdom created since 1430s to gbaramatu of 1990s ? Lol...

My humble advice to the Ijaws is that they do everything within their powers to shun all evil vices and force their children to study hard for the future because soon, guns won't save. It will be battle only school can get u. It can take 100years but each day, the itsekiris are preparing all documents and going to school and patiently waiting till then.

At least in my book, the Ijo are better than the itsekiri for they believed to be Ijo even though undiluted historic facts claim otherwise. Ijo are twins to Palestinians who tend to claim every land and origin after every war they did not win. On the other hand, the itsekiri had denied their forbearers instead claimed to be Yari.ba, What a folly.

we are not in competition with the itsekiris.just imagine the gangue you spewed? my brother,dont allow hatred becloud your retardated brain.an Ijaw proverb says ENEMY THAT INSULTS YOU AT YOUR BACK WILL ALWAYS BE BEHIND YOU IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE. so shall it be.my brother,getting (likes) on nairaland does not give you control on ground.come down to awarri if you doubt me.we determine what happen there.education my foot,are you more educated than me as an Ijaw person? i am a chemical engineer,who are you as an itsekiri boy? idiot,you got the gut to come here to insult a whole ethnic,whose struggle you parasite benefited from.you guys are too insignificant and less important for the Ijaws to have sleepless night over.please,we deal with abuja and not your kind.

In this lengthy write up, the only point one can make out of it is your ignorance about the ijaw race. How can you say the Ijaws in Edo state are not more than 5,000? You need to visit the creeks of the Noger Delta to get your real figures, not sit behind your smart phone and type whatever you feel.

Dont mind him, most of ijawphobes are bini ppl who are just disgruntled at their minority status in the scheme of affairs in the Niger delta and Nigeria as a whole
