This is a call to all the wonderful and beautiful people of both the ijaw and itsekiri kingdoms, you should not allow the actions of some miscreants bring disaffection among you, we all witnessed what the previous ethnic violence cost all of us, we all lost loved ones and lost so much, we should not allow this evil to happen again, say no to violence, say no to crisis. We are all one, we have been living together for hundreds of years, we are one, let us all come together to fish out the perpetrators of these dastardly acts. We are one, ijaw and itsekiri!!!

Bump

@OP

Be careful what you wish for.

You should be talking to the Ijaws and not the Itsekiris. The Itsekiris have not been known to engage in violence. We prefer the civil way of resolving disputes, we write petitions, go to court, protest peacefully and lobby to achieve our aims. It is the Ijaws that always attack the Itsekiris and other neighbouring communities as a means of achievinig their objectives, a local government headquarters was located in itsekiri area in warri, they attacked all itsekiri villages and town, now they demand that election must not take place and the chairmanship of warri north should automatically be handed over to them, they have started attacking itsekiris again to press home their demand.

The most annoying thing is if the itsekiris in warri north is left to slug it out with Ijaws in warri north, the Ijaws stand no chance, but the ijaws in warri north would import mercinaries from Warri south, bayelsa and even rivers just to fight in warri north.


All this is because violence pays in nigeria. It is the only means to get what you want and the Ijaws, Fulanis and Boko Haram understand that well.

My guy and broda, trouble no gud. And don't ever think dat de Ijaws in Warri North can't face yu peeps alone. Yu peeps can't comprehend wat will reach yu. Let's allow peace reign in our communities. Stop this hate statements. One Ijaw man can face 10 of yu believe me. We are of peace always.

And who is not allowing peace to reign in our communities? Have you ever heard itsekiris attacking an Ijaw community before? If we have issues we go to court, we do not go around shooting people and burning villages. You people are always know to cause conflict wherever you reside. If you say you people are warriors, why do you always bring in mercinaries whenever you start your trouble?

They are not mecineries. They are Ijaws. Wat it simply means is dat injury to one is injury to all. Yu are here jus saying tins crying for sympathy. Wat really caused de trouble yu don't kno. All yu kno is hw Ijaws bring peeps frm outside Warri to fight.

They always have things to accuse Ijaws of. The Ijaws in all 3 Warri LGAs are more numerous than all the Itsekiri people but on paper, they claim the Itsekiri are more populous than Ijaws. Injustice upon injustice.

All these claims about Ijaw people coming from elsewhere to fight for Warri Ijaws is baseless and unfounded. Even the Ijaws in Bomadi & Burutu were busy accomodating displaced Ijaws. No group of Ijaw youths went to warri to fight for the Ijaws in Warri It is the overwhelming superior population of Warri Ijaws that made the Itsekiris think that Ijaw bought mercenaries.

The accusation is even more baseless because when the fighting got to a stage, it went diabolical-both parts using some form of spiritual protection to protect their troops. That was when the superiority of the Egbesu power of the Ijaws was noticed as Ijaw boys became immune to bullets and machete cuts- a fact the nigerian soldiers sent there can attest to. There was nothing like Ijaw mercenaries coming from elsewhere, It was the very Ijaws of Warri that contained the entire Itsekiri nation.

If you understand the trend of Itsekiri propaganda, you'd understand that they are all a bunch of chronic liars. They have a way of twisting facts to gain public sympathy to demonize the Ijaws. Every statement they make are full of lies. Challenge me and I'll prove it to you.

Let them settle it once and for all at the battle field. The rush to settle fundamental issues such as the one between Ijo and Isekiri has led to perpetual bloodshed.
