WAR LOOMS: THE AGHALOKPE
FRAUD - ISEKIRI-OKPE MIGHT GO TO WAR!
INTERESTED READERS MAY FORWARD TO THE OLU
A faction of Aja-Ogunoyibo: particularly Kpokpo and Kurumani
families have dragged the descendants of Ogunoyibo(Oguoyibo) to court, claiming
ownership of the village. To worsen issues the descendants of Kpokpo and
Kurumani are backed by historical fraudsters from Aghalokpe and Okpe clan in
general. I have not wanted to write this piece, but for the love I have for the
Ogunoyibo descendants and all Isekiri in general, I feel I should let the world
know the hell the people are passing through.
PROBLEMS
1.
CHANGE OF NAME. Sometime in the middle of August
2016, the people of Aghalokope(Ogunni or Ogoni) descendants , sent a letter to
the Aja-Ogunoyibo people to change the name of the village from Ajaogunyibo to
Amuan-Itive. There was a threat of war in that letter. The letter can be
reproduced for the public to see the level of barbarism. One chief Michael Afe was the signatory to that
letter. For more than three months,
since around May 2016, there has been litigation between the descendants of
Ogunoyibo and the descendants of Kpokpo and Kurumani. The descendants of Kpokpo
and Kurumani (being of stranger stock in Aja-Ogunoyibo), were the ones dragging
the Okpe people to the battle front in their favour. The Okpe authorities have
earlier sent such offensive letters of change of names to Ogunaja(Ikomi town),
Obotie, Ajimele, Aja-Sagay etc. There is
a systematic wiping out of the Isekiri presence in Okpe areas. All these have
increased since the ascension of Mujakperuo. I am not saying he is the
mastermind, it is only happening in his regime. On the 31st of August 2016, the
Aghalokpe people (formerly Isekiri, but now claiming to be Okpe) went to the
bush to start uprooting the cassava of Isekiri people of Ajaogunoyibo. Hunger is
now the name of Aja-Ogunoyibo people. The Olare-aja is threatened and he fears
for his life.
2.
REVEALING THE FAKE HISTORY OF MICHAEL AFE. The
descendants of Kpokpo and Kurumani are relying on the falsified story telling
of Michael Affe to perpetrate trouble in Ajaogunyibo. If Michael (who is more
than 70% Isekiri) had not come out with a terribly lying history most of these
problems would not have cropped up. Michael Afe relying on the lies in the RB
Kerr’s intelligence report have cooked up a false history for his Aghalokpe
district,
a.
HISTORY OF AGHALOKPE - refuting Michael Afe
Michael Afe has given a very simplistic history of Aghalokpe that the
founder of Aghalokpe (Oguni; called Ogoni by the Urhobos) was a son of Evbreke
– one of the four brothers said to have founded Okpe. Truth be told Oguni was not a son of Evbreke ,
but his grandson. The daughter of Evbreke was the mother of Oguni(the war is
tough – the Mehini Ijaw war on the River Niger about 1735 when the child was
born).Name of his mother – reserved for now, for certain reasons. Oguni
was a son of Olu Atogbuwa(the first son) who was ousted by his younger brother
, who later became Olu Erejuwa. He went to his mother’s area in Okpe and
founded Aghalokpe on the way... Some issues raised in Afe 2015
I.
Was Oguni an Isekiri? To show that Ogoni was an
Isekiri Affe raised the question in his pamphlet without any one asking him. He
says “there are rumours in certain quarters that Ogoni was an Isekiri”. He went
further to say people are saying this to prevent the Ogoni descendants from
participating in the Orodjeship. Michael, no amount of lies will make Ogoni
descendant to become Orodje of Okpe. The Orodje knows the truth, the real Okpe
knows the truth, the Isekiri know their brothers and sisters no matter how long
they may claim to be something else.
II.
Afe claims in his pamphlet that Ogoni met some
fairies at Aghalokpe. The truth is Ogoni met some Binis at the present site of
Aghalokpe worshipping a tree called Aghalokpe. Oguni who had just escaped from
his younger brother Olu Erejuwa and had canon power was able to chase the Binis
away. In reality the movement of Oguni(first son of Olu Atogbuwa) was the greatest
mass movement in Okpe land(RB KERR intelligence report). Not being able to
cover all their lies they acknowledge in that report that the said Ogoni went
to stay with the Olu without even mentioning the name of the Olu. Then we ask
the Okpe people why did he go to see the Olu – as his slave, a business
associate or as his son, and which of the Olus did he see? The truth of the
matter is Oguni ran from the Olu; he did not go to see the Olu. The report also
said that Ogoni started the title of Okakuroship and his sons came unto his
power. Clearly Ogoni was an Isekiri who entered Okpe with a large crowd – the
greatest mass movement in Okpe History(RB KERR intelligence report,)
III.
Afe says Itive founded Ogunoyibo’s village.
Nothing is further from the truth. Ogunoyibo a son of Eragheta(a daughter of
Itive, a son of Ogoni) founded AjaOgunoyibo.
IV.
Michael tries to make Kpokpo and Kurumani the
owners of Ajaguoyibo. Kpokpo was sold by Mayomi family in Ugborodo and the
father of Kurumani was a crew man (the name means nothing in Isekiri or Urhobo).
Both of them came to AjaOgunyibo with the permission of Ogunoyibo.
3.
Some salient issues.
a.
The Aghalokpe area was populated by Ogoni and
his descendants whose patrilineage is Isekiri.
b.
Nobody from Aghalokpe will ever become an Orodje
whether Afe lies to heaven or not. Let him carry his trumpet and continue all
his lies.
c.
People from Sapele and Ugbukurusu will also
never get the Orodje title. Their own
reason is different from that of Oguni people who are Isekiri
d.
There is a common trend since the ascension of
this Orodje of changing the names of Isekiri villages in Okpe area. The trend
does not call for good interethnic harmony which has existed for generations
between the two ethnic groups. This wicked trend must stop. If the baba knows
nothing about this wicked plan he should come out and Say so. Some years back
there were rumours that the Orodje said Isekiri should not bury their dead in
Sapele. When the rumour became unbearable, he came out and denied what his
recalcitrant subjects were doing – plunging the two ethnic groups to the brink
of war.
4.
Proofs that Aghalokpe people are Isekiri
I.
They look exactly like the Bateren people (their
cousins in Isekiri)
II.
They have never been awarded the Orodjeship
III.
They pray with kola nut in presence of other
Okpe.
IV.
They have the sword of power which they brought
from Ode-isekiri
V.
When Afe Michael (the writer of false histories)
went to Mary a descendant of Gagar( a uterine brother of Ikomi) both the Ikomi and
Gagar people complained about the blood relationship between them and Afe. Some
rites were performed before they could perform the marriage rites. Like the Ogunoyibos and the people of
Aja-Ojigwo, the Ikomis are descended from Olu Atogbuwa through his son Oguni born
when the Olu was fighting the Ijaws of the River Niger(Moore 1936)
VI.
Ogoni and Itive were Isekiri titles who the Olu
gave to people from Aghalokpe(Moore 1936).
5.
What is to be done?
a.
DNA test should be carried out to ascertain my
points on Ogoni history and personality.
b.
If my points are ascertained the Michael Afe’s
of this world can continue lying about their history
c.
Peace delegates both from the Olu’s palace and
the Orodje’s palace should meet for a talk.
d.
There should be no more threat of war; the court
cases should continue, we are in a civilized society
e.
Michael should desist from writing false
history, he should work for peace. He has Isekiri blood and he has a very
lively and likeable Isekiri son , these fake histories will do his posterity no
good
f.
If Aghalokpe wants to claim what they are not,
well and good, but they should not be the instrument of dragging other Isekiri
into Okpe.
g.
The Chief appointed by the Olu in Ajaoguoyibo
seems not to be active, taken bribe or incompetent, because he has made no
attempt to publish the suffering of his people. Please, only chiefs who have the
pain of their areas should be coronated henceforth.
h.
Please any Isekiri that reads this should
forward. You can print a copy out and give to your friends. Let the Olu hear (he
is a listening king) ; let the Orodje hear he is a lawyer – who lives by rule
of law. The suffering that Kpokpo , Kurumani(Crew Man) and the likes of Michael
Afe from Aghalokpe are making their OgunOyibo cousins pass through in this 21st century
is unthinkable.
i.
If I am summoned for this letter I will come
anywhere and talk to end this primitivity and barbarism, Ijaw had killed
Isekiri will false Okpe come and kill the rest?
