what is left for the next Itsekiri generation? (Charles Eyimofe Pemu.)

Itsekiri nation, warri kingdom which was the most enviable kingdom in the Niger delta has now turned our prestigious palace into a chieftaincy stock market where money, fame and power are now use to exchange titles which usually were given to individuals with merits, credibility and those who deserve to be called Chiefs. Itsekiri now selling chieftaincies to highest bidders as shares to politicians and if care not taking the palace will be turned into a political assembly.

Former governor Emmanuel Udughan and Mrs Tinubu for chieftaincy in warri kingdom and Ayiri is likely to be the next Ologbotsere of warri kingdom. An arrangement already perfected while some of their media dogs are trying to distract the polity so, that a lot of Itsekiri will not be inform. And by the time they will be confirming the story it will be too late.

Itsekiri most dangerous enemies and threat to our sustainability isnt actually neighbors surrounding us but, those brothers within us.

ITSEKIRI MAYBE GETTING LATE.

Before SOME i sabi pass my neighbor people start telling me i sold my birthright in Warri Kingdom, and remind me i am prince in Warri kingdom please find out the people who sold their birthright no me.

EXPLOSIVE HISTORY: Who Sold Nigeria To Britain For £865k in 1899?

Today we will be discussing the first oil war, which was fought in the 19th century, in the area that became Nigeria.

All through the 19th century, palm oil was highly sought-after by the British, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. Remember that Britain was the world’s first industrialised nation, so they needed resources such as palm oil to maintain that.
Palm oil of course, is a tropical plant, which is native to the Niger Delta. Malaysia’s dominance came a century later.

By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with natives selling to those who gave them the best deals. Native chiefs such as former slave, Jaja of Opobo became immensely wealthy because of oil palm. With wealth comes influence.

N-DELTA: Itsekiri Group Sends Warning Signal to FG

Sapele—The Iwere Peoples’ Congress, aka, Agbukumasa, the self defence arm of the Itsekiri ethnic nationality, which came into existence during the Ijaw and Itsekiri communal crisis between 1997-2003, yesterday, warned that the fact that the Itsekiri people were not known for violence should not mean that they cannot carry out violence.

It subsequently called on the Federal Government and oil companies in Itsekiri land to stop divide and rule antics and modern day slavery of the people, or be prepared to face their wrath.

The group, through its National Coordinator, Prince Ekwejunor-Etchie Okorodudun, said:

“The Nigerian State and its administrative component called Delta State have abandoned their constitutional role towards an ethnic nationality that is part of their geographical and constitutional authority – the Itsekiri nation.”

“Successive governments have failed the Itsekiri nation as they could not provide the necessary security, protection of the Itsekiri people, land and property during the crisis. We are accusing the government of lack-lustre and lackadaisical behaviour.
