see you life in the party

Their cultural traditional wears looks like that of the Binis.

But does it mean that in the whole of the Itsekiri kingdom, no credible person with high moral standing other than Ayiri, a former oil thief and militant leader can occupy the office of the traditional Prime Minister?

Nigeria I hail thee!

Beautiful display! Beauriful culture!
I love African cultures.

Let's be honest, the aborigines of a place deserve some royalty if their land is taken over for resource extraction.

The thing that shouldn't be accepted is criminality.

So the Christian and Muslim Gods are not idols to the worshippers?

The Buddhists are not idol worshippers?

Sometimes I laugh at the parochial nature of us Africans.

Oyibo and Arabs come with their gods, tell you to abandon yours and you do.

After a while, they abandon theirs while you carry on. Not only do you carry on, you mock your brothers and sisters who continue your original tradition and religion.

wetin concern our gods concern jet age? They are the same yesterday, today and forever.

I think the ijaws and uhrobo are not wrong after all.

The olu of itsekiri main domain is not warri city, its ode-itsekiri aka big warri, which is in the riverine and its different from the warri city.

The pictures above have confirmed it.

Warri belong to both itsekiri, ijaw, and urhobo so u guys should live together in peace.

unskilled old fools



joblessness is another disease

ANY so called Oba dt still bows or pay Homage to any dieties of any form lacks KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES...

Warri (The town) was actually a colonial era town built by the Btitish from scratch) So originally & traditionally speaking it should have no paramount king in the strictest sense (so to speak)- a situation similar to Kaduna, Jos, Port Harcourt or Enugu.

Kaduna for example has no traditional emirate being a colonial era settlement, but is built on land traditionally under the control of the Emirate of zazzau (based further north in Zaria)

In the same light-

The original land on which the first and oldest/original part of the city of Warri was built- i.e where the city started out from was within the Itsekiri cultural area- so, it is under the Olu’s purview- Although as a colonial era town, the traditional palace of the Olu was not inside the town- The town derived its name from the word “Iwerre” the traditional name of the Itsekiris.

Although warri metropolis has now spread to the neighboring urhobo local governments of Udu and Uvwie.
Ijaws have the weakest link to the actual city- and I am still trying to understand what their own claim hinges on. The Itsekiris and the Urhobos, we can all understand.
