Itsekiri people
The 'Itsekiri (also called the, Isekiri, "lJekri" Itsekri or Ishekiri or Itsekhiri) are an ethnic group of Nigeria's Niger Delta area, Delta State. The Itsekiri presently number just over a million people and live mainly in the Warri South, Warri North and Warri South West local government districts of Delta State on the Atlantic Coast of Nigeria. Significant communities of Itsekiris can be found in parts of Edo and Ondo states and in various other Nigerian cities including Lagos, Sapele, Benin City, Port Harcourt and Abuja. Many people of Itsekiri descent also reside in the United Kingdom, the USA and Canada.
The Itsekiris traditionally refer to their land as the Kingdom of Warri or 'Iwerre' as its proper name (which was named after a leaf called "ewerre" in bini language which signifies goodwill and peace) – which is geographically contiguous to the area covered by the three Warri local government districts. The area is a key centre of Nigeria's crude oil and natural gas production and petroleum refining and the main town Warri (a multi-ethnic metropolis) forms the industrial and commercial nucleus of the Delta State region.

Mustn?t let the day go, wasting on the highway of life, all my life
I?m feeling unclean, my stomach is shot
Preservatives hide out in all that we got
Don?t ask again 'cause I don?t know myself
Tinned spam and meatloaf do me right in

Lives on vitamins, I can hear you call
Big dapple apple, I?m back in your grasp
