THE ROLE OF THE ITSEKIRI YOUTHS FOR OUR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN WARRI-KINGDOM

Prince Jercy E. Kpogho-Numa

Although, the collective problems of the IWERE-LAND in WARRI-KINGDOM militates against us (ITSEKIRIs) we still possess tremendous capacity to achieve the design of how our future and land would look like.

It is evident that the national development trajectory of IWERE Nation has been declining and one cannot confidently say development in its true sense is occurring in WARRI-KINGDOM or in any of the most immediate Oil producing Communities.

Even though, the per capita income of the IWERE-LAND has doubled through the years of the sales of Crude Oil, beyond doubt this has also been a period of underdevelopment; since poverty, unemployment and inequality have been growing worse.

ODUDUWA REPUBLIC

THE WAY FORWARD

At this point in itsekiri history, it is RISKY for the indigenous itsekiri people to keep living in isolation right in the midst of aggressive neighbours whose ultimate plan is to completely annihilate us. We must at this time start identifying our potential allies and friends. Our best bet is to identify with the people of "Oduduwa Republic" with who we share a common ancestry. The ijaws are banking on their population strength which has given them political advantage over us hence we cannot continue living in isolation when we have extended family we can identify with to secure our survival.

PRACTICAL ITSEKIRI LEADERS

 

Nana Olomu, AKA Agbamudu, did not become “Nana of Itsekiri” simply because he was from Ebrohimi. Nana became Itsekiri when, against all odds he stood to resist the incursion of the British Imperialists whose policies at that time were antagonistic to the interests of his people.

Dore Numa was not Itsekiri simply because he was a Prince of the Itsekiri monarchy. Dore Numa became Itsekiri when he blazed the trail for Itsekiri, recording many legal victories.

Chief F. S. Okotie-Eboh was not Itsekiri because he was adorned with indescribeable Itsekiri atires. Chief F.S. Okotie-Eboh became Itsekiri the day he demonstrated to the world that he is thoroughly tribalized Itsekiri man who used his high political office to decorate the Itsekiri landscape with landmark projects that has not been seconded by any other even till date. Although he was a Nationalist and a Federal Minister, but his immediate concern was his local territory.

Franklin Atake was not Itsekiri because he had direct blood connection to the Itsekiri race. Franklin Atake became Itsekiri when he availed himself for Itsekiri exploits.
