Dr Ejiro Imuere from Urhobo land reacts to Reno Omokri's assertion on the Itsekiris and slave trade:

In response to Reno Omokri's Post this morning that Ancient Itsekiris used the Igbos of old as Slaves, I had to write this...

Fact: Itsekiris did not enslave any specific tribe...People from every tribe in the Niger Delta only sold slaves to the Itsekiri, being the people at the coast before the seashore where the Portuguese camped. You must pass through their lands before you can export your slaves. In fact if you will not sell to them as middlemen, but you want to sell your slaves directly, then you will have to pay them a rent called "comey".. Even the Portuguese paid them this "comey" to anchor their boats in shores of their lands.

But the Itsekiris ENSLAVED THEMSELVES, not others.

Ancient Itsekiri was a highly stratified and class-conscious society. When the Bini Party, led by Ginuwa, arrived and finally settled in Ode Itsekiri, his son Ijijen became Olu. Ginuwa died in Ijalla. The Bini party enslaved some of the aboriginal Itsekiris called "Orulukus".

In 1848, when Olu Akengbuwa died and his 2 possible heirs also died within a space of 8 days leaving him without a successor, these slaves called Orolukus, led by 7 of their leaders, waged a terrible war against the House of the Olu and the Nobles. They succeeded in chasing them out of Ode Itsekiri and the kingdom went into an interregnum.

Princess Dola or Iye fled to Bobi. Diare, Olomu, Eshalomi all fled to a new settlement called the Benin River.

It was the British that restored Ode Itsekiri later around 1888. Then when the British invaded Nana and defeated him in Ebrohimi in 1894, over 5,000 slaves were set free. They fled to Sapele led by Nana's head slave called OGUGBENE. They were warmly received by the head chief of the Okpe people then called Ofotokun who resettled them today in Sapele. While the Sagay family was resettled in Amuokpe by Odjegba.

Most of the 5,000 freed Nana slaves of Ebrohimi who were later settled in Sapele were Itsekiris.

Just like Badagry , Kano, and Istekiri people they mostly engage in trans Atlantic and trans Sahara trade of everything ranging from gold, palm , agro , products to slaves

The real people that captures slaves are territories and empires that wage war and invade villages

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Reno has finally gotten what he has been looking for.

Next time foolish reno will choose his fight wisely.

Reno put on your seat belt it's gonna be a long drive

Medicine after death

Reno is a descendant of Itsekiri people who were slaves.
Enslaved in their homeland by Bini people o.

I definitely knew that Reno Omockery was spewing lies.

Just imagine Reno claiming that some of his Delta Igbo neighbours were Bini and Ishekiri slaves. How possible is that?

As a matter of fact, Igbos rule over their own territory and that of their neighbours and not the other way round. Sadly, the so called Delta Igbos are already denying their Igbo-ness in order to be accepted by their neighbours who are minorities to Igbo tribe.

Igbo kwenu!

Will "Lagos Abuja Igbos" Join Fulanis To Stop Others From Self-determination?

Igbos at home in the South East and Igbos abroad are all of one mind, Nigeria is never going to be a good place for Igbos. They're proud people. They want out.

The problem is the "Lagos Abuja Igbos". These are the ones that want One Nigeria at all cost. They typically struggle to speak Yoruba/Hausa and parade themselves as detribalized Nigerians. These pitiful unity beggars fool no one. Fact is they're laughing stocks Truth is they hate who they really are. The proof of this is whenever I challenge them to point to a time in the last 10 years to point to when they spent more than 2 nights at home, they can't. Many give the impression they will rather die than live in an All Igbo Nation. For far and beyond the love of other people's ancestral land far and beyond their love for their own land, they will keep all us in Fulani slave plantation that is Nigeria.

If you're an Igbo and you took the slightest joy from the capture of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, you belong to this pathetic group.

The question the rest of us that will end soon our collective Fulani enslavement is this:

Will "Lagos Abuja Igbos" Join Fulanis To Stop The Rest Of Us From Freedom?

Some of these ediots are paid to raise ethnic and tribal divide

But Bini people overdo Sha.
How can you come to someone house enslave him and start ruling over him.

Nawao. The Binis were real slave drivers. They must be irritated at being reduced to minorities within the Nigerian context.

I wonder how they look at this history of subjugating and denying their fellow blacks of their freedom and see it as sign of greatness.
It doesn't make sense.
It is a history one should be ashamed of, and not proud of, if you are a descendant of such people.

It's like Abam descendants in Igboland being proud of their slave wars in Igboland for the Aros. It's madness. No sensible person should be proud of such foul history.

Lmao.... flatin0s have been in sefia pains since their hero called them slaves.

Someone close to reno recently came out to claim that reno is not even itsekiri he said that his father is from uhrobo while his mom is itsekiri.

Igbo kwenu!

Who says we're rejecting our igbo ness? us Ndokwa and Anioma are very produly igbo but we are being rejected by the igbo population for whatever reason

This is a blatant lie it was the usobos who had always been used as slaves by the Benin people. It is documented in their history books e.g usobo of Niger Delta gave account of how usobos fled Benin because they were been used as slaves.
The Benin people from time to time as well also do podcasts on the slave history of the usobo’s. If you claim the Benin captured the Itsekiri’s why then didn’t they overthrow the governor and in what year did this happen? Cos history with dates and references are lies.

Reno enjoy writing against the igbos for traffic Sha

There are no evidence to support this post all the people that bought slaves from warri wrote what they saw and they made it clear that itsekiri’s were never slaves there were freemen who doesn’t do any work their slaves work for them and their slaves are from urhobo, ijaws and others
