Wether you all like it or not, if it sounds & walk like a duck, its surely a duck. The name sounds Igbo to me, therefore, he was Igbo by history & what ever...


Go and sit down somewhere mr what do you know? Ikonwoli Emiko might sound igbo but actually meant something in itsekiri language.

What are you saying.. olu of warri is just a title.. it doesnt mean he is the king of warri... there are other kings in orhobo and ijaw land residing in same warri.. ignorance is a disease.. and why would ijaw push to be a king to the itsekiri people? Smh

The Olu is the king of Warri.

However, the city has expanded into other areas that fall within Urbobo and Ijaw territories but the original Warri town was built on Itsekiri land.
The colonial masters recognized the Itshekiri king as the Lord of Warri.

Itsekiri people are closer to Yorubas than Igbos. They bear Yoruba names and their language is like Ijebu yoruba

Why is his name sounding somehow: Ikenwoli. Anyways the next king should come from Ijaw. Itsekhiri can't have it all the time. Ijaw should strongly consider pushing for the stool.

Ijaw on an Itshekiri stool?

Chai I can’t believe this , I hope it’s just a lie


This guy suffered a lot before becoming a king , less than 5 years reign , the shortest reign by any iwere king since the time of princess iye .

was he not the right heir to have succeeded his brother olu Godwin toritseju Emiko , or were they suppose to crown prince shola. I just don’t get it
The prince was suppose to be.

He was careless with his health, stop insinuating unnecessarily.

To most people, Covid is fake because they don't know anyone personally it has killed.
