Tension is brewing between Ijaw and Itsekiri communities in Delta State over the ownership of the popular Ogbe-Ijoh Market in Warri, Warri South Local Government Area.

The Ijaw People’s Development Initiative has petitioned the state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, to clarify the issue of the ownership of the Market.

The IPDI faulted a claim by the Itsekiri group, through the Movement for the Protection of Iwere Homeland, Development and History, who recently claimed ownership of Ogbe-Ijoh Market in a publication. The group said, “Ijaws are Itsekiri maternal parents and the Iwere group or Dore Numa was a stranger in Warri. We want to state unequivocally that Ogbe-Ijoh market belongs to Ogbe-Ijoh people and not owned by Dore Numa who was abducted from Benin River to Warri by the Royal Niger Company to do some menial jobs.

Kill ur self jare

Which market

They are busy fighting over market while some are busy sharing the oil that comes from their domain, where is the wisdom of their elders in settling disputes? Very unfortunate

Instead of them to wall off Fulani herdsmen terrorists in their state, they are been distracted always. Class room education does not make a man, but sense or environmental education does. Be aware of your surroundings southerners

😆😆

Just imagine that, if herdsmen appears in that community, they won't see one to kill.........but now at war with each other over market?

This is divide and rule distraction of APC government and Fulani janjaweedism. Governor Okowa should be careful; Itsekiri and Ijaw are brothers not adversaries. They are formidable Biafrans.

Keep mute until enough elimination is done, whey are tired and call for intervention. This must be done if you, the gov has no personal interest. Hope your babes have no multiple shops there? Men can be actors 🤣🤣

This is my home pls let's settle this
