Itsekiri Are Yoruba, We Need To Work Together As One – Alaafin (19046 Views)

Itsekiri: Yorubas, Igalas and Binis.

Olukunmi: Yorubas ( still have ties with Binis).

However to safeguard themselves due to the issues they have with their 'neighbors' in Delta( Ijaws and Urhobos), they will emphasize more on their Yoruba ancestry to get Federal help.

Okay, Good for you.
Just know that Biafra Is dead and buried.
Make up your mind and chose one, you can't eat your cake and still have it like most igbos want ,but is impossible

Well, Biafra is not the problem of Nigeria. Baba, Nigerians just want to have electricity. I installed 5kva Solar system, this is not the type of country I wish for. So, Biafra dying or alive does not add one kobo to your . I mean, the way some of u attack Igbos as if that will fix Naija problems.
Baba, we just want a country that can at least be like SA or better than SA. I mean, I watched South African league cup final over the weekend and I was like, chaii, when are we going to have such in Nigeria?
I mean, we are tired of powering generator, installing solar, una bad road destroyed my luxury car tyres and rims. Chaii, this country o!
Baba, u see, we just want a good country and so far, Nigeria has failed. Biafra is not una problem.

As you can see, the royalty came all the way to Oyo affirming their ancestry. It's not the other way round whereby a so-called majority tribe is crying and begging for validation, even to the point of drawing the minorities into a map in their pipedream.
You people can twist narratives eh. Who invited them? Or they forced the visit on the Alaafin?

You should have said this when Biafrans overran the Midwest during the war.

Go and ask about those who drove the Biafrans out of your land.

It was troops commanded by Muritala Mohammed stop trying to tell lies.

Keep ship and stop saying what you don't know. I was living around Okumagba Avenue during the Ijaw/Itsekiri war. There were so many things you don't know and for peace, I'm not going to talk about them. If Yoruba were not concerned why were some Yoruba kidnapped by the Ijaws? Please, shut your mouth, we want peace among all the tribes. Those of us popularly known as Yorubas were seriously warned by our Ijaw friends who were fighting.



AustineE1:
During the Ishekiri vs ijaw crisis in warri between 1997 to 2003,the ishekiris where almost decimated by the ijaw militias,guess what,the Yorubas never rendered a helping hand to their dying so called 'brothers',even at a time the ijaw in Ondo and other places in the riverine areas of south west almost wanted to move in to the hinterlands of southwest as occupational forces,thanks to Obasanjo that used federal might to stop them.
So of what benefits will they yorubas ever be to the Ishekiris.
SoliBayNG: 6:34pm On May 11
Itsekiri's are from Benin, thats why the Olu can marry either an Itsekiri woman or an Edo lady. You don't see the Oba forcing himself on them.

Every tribe is their own person. They have evolved over the years.

Exactly, they should leave delta state and warri for the real indigenes- uhrobo, Ijaw, isoko & delta-igbo
Mathewrichard99: 6:42pm On May 11
I can feel you. It's so true that since they have people living within their kingdom and has taken your kingdom as theirs willingly even though you regard them as outcaste, them why longing to go out of your kingdom to acquire more people? So that you can bring them in and label them as OSU outcaste again. That's so unattractive. More like trying to force people to come and be your slave all over again.

A tribe that has a caste system and regards some others are pure and others as impure should not be talking about unity.

Simply love your write up......Biafra no be the trouble, Yoruba no be the wahala, Hausa Fulani no be the headache but the politicians....the thief thief politicians that ain't fit to be called leaders. We need electricity, we need good roads, we need good environment for us to create employment, see, we aren't even expecting employment from the government but give us an enabling environment to create jobs for ourselves......stop instigating us against each other. Yorubas no be igbos wahala like both aren't Hausa Fulani wahala. All the Bokoharams people aren't Igbos or Yorubas, So why can't we live as one and face the same cancer killing and enslaving us perpetually.....

You are naive that's why you talk like this.

We all saw how 99.9% igbos voted PO in 2023
WHY?
Because Igbos realised the foolishness of always voting in other tribes and despising their own all in the name of voting "competent people"
All politics is local.
Una eyes clear after realizing that for your slavery to the PDP for 16 years,you got nothing. Not even motorable federal roads, you were busy voting
Obj over Ojukwu
You preferred GEJ to Ogbonnaya Onu..
Sowore over Moghalu....


Then whenever we have some stability, someone down east, it's always someone down east that will be used to sabotage the nation...... Authur Nzeribe in 1992
Nnamdi kanu in 2009 till date.
Simon Ekpa is gearing up to take over from NK.
Besides some things are just beyond what you can control cos you don't even know whats happening. Is it your fault or mine that Barak Obama was using USAID to fund BH because Nigeria refused to allow gay marriage....

Olu Of Warri affirmed his roots in 2022 when he visited Ogun state. A Yoruba man wasn't the President at the time.

Anyone who tells you aworis are not yoruba is being a liar. We understand Awori better than Itshekiri when they speak their yoruba dialect.

Oga stop claiming what you are not. I have told you that your use of "Okwa Ya" clearly shows you are not from the east. Own your tribe with all sincerity and stop claiming to be what you are not. Nwokem Gbara ogu gi nwuor!

Two things can be true at once. People migrate from their original community to new lands and form new community. If they choose to acknowledge their past heritage. It is fine. If they don't. It is also fine. The ppl currently called English are a combination of angles, saxon, jutes who migrated from lower Denmark and northern to Britain. They mixed the indigenous celts. They were called Anglo-Saxon then English. Every one acknowledges the English are Germanic in origin But are called English. It does not dilute their current identity. No tribe is 100 percent something. Go back far enough. You have other origins from what you are now. This itsekiri situation is a perfect example.

You're guilty of cybercrime and posting of false information about other tribes. FG suppose use you as deterrent.
Awori mean Awon ti ri (dish sank). A Yoruba word. All their ancestors pointed to Ile-Ife in Osun State. All their culture is of Yorubas. The name of the person in the post you shared is Okunnu, a Yoruba name.
Some of us non Yorubas are aware of Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and other tribe's history and won't let fifth columnists like you to bring chaos to Nigeria.
Anuofi a waste of seme n.
