They also required the governor to give Ijaw monarchs staff of office and appoint Ijaw indigenes as commissioners.
The spokesperson of the group known as 'captain Osama Osama' said the Ijaw indigenes have been marginalized since the creation of the state.
They called for their schools to be built, equipped with teaching aids and qualified teachers.
They noted that the governor would be held responsible for their rash actions when they set the entire state on fire if their needs are not met.

Since when has the Ijaw people become part of Edo State?
ReplyDeleteIf people from Agbor are talking I will listen, but not Ijaw people.
Edo state is the only diverse State in Nigeria.
Ms.A I hope you know there are Ijaws in Ondo state? A little Google search will show you that. Let me drop this for you according to Wikipedia. "Ijaw people (also known by the subgroups "Ijo" or "Izon") are people in Niger Delta in Nigeria, inhabiting regions of the states of Ondo, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, and Rivers State. Many are found as migrant fishermen in camps as far west as Sierra Leone and as far east as Gabon."
DeleteDo you also know that Ondo state could be classified as part of Niger Delta?
There are Ijaw people in Ondo State, yeah.... Please, can you tell me what part the Ijaw people are occupying in Edo state?
DeleteWikipedia should also be able to have shown you that, right?
Stop classifying Teejay, this is not a Biafra and Kanu the coward issue.
Ms.A, You asked for the part the Ijaws are occupying in Edo state right? Now look at it; Okomu, Egbema Olodiama, Furupagha, and Gbanraun clans in Edo state.
DeleteI am yet to see Ms A. rejoinder. I will take it that she have come to terms with my submission.
