Everybody is claiming warri be it Urhobo, itsekiris and ijaws but the truth is that itsekiris are has lost out due to their tiny population

It's used to be Olu of Itsekiri but was later changed to Olu of warri with the help of some Yoruba people.

Oh very smart one

Yorubas actually identify by different names before British

The Central Yorubas were recognize as Akus

Southern and Western Yorubas were called Nago

And North Yorubas were called Oyos or Oyo oba

And Eastern Yoruba were called Olukumi

More importantly, Oh smart one, we had the ifa religion which united us also known as Odu Ifa which the Igalas don't practice.

You and forgiveness should read what the Attah of Igala land had to say about IFA.

You can clearly see where he said Igalas are Yorubas with Kwararafan influences.

Abeg, I don't want this thread to be derailed with Yoruba issues.
I think I will open another thread for this issue.

Igbos & Yorubas must not project their insecurities into every single minorities thread. This thread is not for SW Yorubas & SE Igbos.

There is no town in Delta state that is indigenously Ilaje. If there is pls mention that town.

Ilajes are settlers in Delta state.

Olukumis are of Yoruba origin, but they are surrounded by Igbo settlements and have been heavily Igbonized. They now identify as Enuani, Anioma or Delta Igbos and not Yoruba.
Infact, the time Olukumis left the west, there was nothing like pan Yoruba identity at that time.

Itsekiris have not come out to officially tell the world that they are Yorubas.
Go to Warri and address Itsekiris as Yorubas (95% of them reject it).
Straight out of the Arse record cheesy

Oh intelligent one

First of all, what is Yoruba?

Was Yoruba existing as an ethnic group outside Oyo 150 years ago?

Did Ijebus, Egbas, Okuns, Ekitis, Ijeshas, Ikales, Aworis e.t.c identify themselves as Yorubas in pre-colonial times? Hell no they didn't.

All the Yoruba speaking tribes were merged together under the Yoruba umbrella by the British colonial masters.


Igalas speak a Yoruba based language or Yoruboid language just like the Itsekiris (according to linguists). Google is your friend.

Igalas were neighbors to Yoruba speaking Okun people until Ebiras came and put them asunder.

Just like Okun, Igalas were a Yoruba speaking people. And shared boundary with other Yoruba speakers before Kwararafan colonization came.

Can you please show me proof that Igala are Yoruba or decendants of any village or people called Yoruba? I no like too much story. Thanks. grin

Are southern igalas those who reside in Anambra?
If not, who are the northern igalas and southern igalas

Southern Igalas are Ibaji, Olamaboro & Igalamela-Odolu LGAs. They all share boundary with Anambra, Enugu & Edo states.
The remaining 5 LGAs are Northern Igala.

Igala speakers in Anambra & Delta have been heavily Igbonized. Those ones are not really counted or regarded as Igalas.

The "very smart boy" will never give any solid proof outside some questionable studies, if he has any.

He knows everything about Nigeria simply because he came from jos and lived in among Igbos who taught him how to hate.

To him, the nonsense he wrote about conquest of Ishekiris and Igala without any documented evidence is sufficient empirical evidence. cheesy

Hence, anyone that questions him becomes dumb.

He does not have any cogent evident to back up his malicious fallacy. Yes. It remains fallacy until he proves me wrong.

i had always maintained that urhobo is a different tribe from isoko if u check my comments well. and thats why i used the tag urhobo vi isoko.

Okay, urhobos are not related to isokos in anyway. we are a different ethnic group and dissimilar to the isoko people in all sphere of life. are u happy now?

Besides, can the Itsekiris go and chase the Urhobos out of Agbassa land?

Do u know Warri well? Pls list the parts of Warri urban that are Itsekiri dominated or Itsekiri controlled.

Itsekiris can never take Warri. It can never happen.

The whole wide world knows Warri belongs to Itshekiris just like Bakassi belongs to Cameroun.

Pray Nigeria remains one else Agbassa and all the lands taken by force by Ijaws will be taken without firing a bullet just like Bakassi was taken without a bullet but if dem want dem fit challenge world court. grin

I still think Urhobos are the majority by an increasing margin in Delta state. Most of the figures for urhobo population usually excludes warri south which contains the largest city in the state and the urhobo population should be around 40-50% percent there. Adding that would give them a very clear margin over the Anioma people plus the gap keeps increasing

Has there been any official figures for Urhobo population before? Apart from those of the colonial era?

Urhobo Indigenes of Warri south are up to half of the LGAs Indigenes, yes. But Warri south (Warri urban proper) itself does not really have much indigenes. The Indigenes are few in numbers.
Do u think Agbassa & Okere-Urhobo Indigenes are significant enough to cause a significant change to Urhobo numbers? I don't think so.

You're actually an ignorant tribal bigot.

The epicentre of Warri, Effurun is it an Urhobo or Ijaw or itsekiri community? Is Udu an itsekiri community?

The rest of Warri is Warri South and North, Warri southwest is somewhere else.

I personally do not care of the Isokos because they are inconsequential in the scope of things. I don't even know where you guys are hiding in the Delta South senatorial District.

You sound like us, eat like us, dress like us, even the ANIOMAs are more distinct from Igbo than Isokos are from Urhobo.

It is this funny behaviour that led to that Isoko agitator paying the ultimate price with no Urhobo intervention. With Ijaw and Itsekiri being mostly united, see what Ekpemupolo and Emami were able to achieve.

Nobody knows everything completely, even when I'm wrong I take correction here. Say what you have to say and don't make it sound like there's one thing special about the Isokos.

Being loud is not even the problem urhobo has, it is disunity, disunity started by Isokos and Okpes and is spreading through Urhobo with every kingdom wanting to act independent of the other whereas we all share one ancestral link. I don't know where Isokos are from though, don't care.

Where are you from if I may ask pls.
