favouredon:I am from ogwashi ukwu in aniocha south LGA, and I'm pure breed Igbo. I see no difference between me and our SE siblings. Stop trying to mislead uninformed and gullible people like yourself. Igbo is Igbo irrespective of dialect or state. A few individuals in the time past for selfish political reasons have tried to plant the seed of division amongst .ignorant folks. Living in denial does change the FACT. It is what it is-the TRUTH! You are a girl. If another girl out of 1million other girls tell you 'you are not a girl', does that mean you will start telling people that you are not a girl? If being myopic is your forte, then keep it up. 4 Likes |

favouredon:Dear you didn't categorically say so, but I read your first comment and it was distasteful in a manner that suggests you have bought into the divisive antics propagated by the enemies of ndi Igbo, and i believe this is the reason why tonychristopher picked on you. Please don't fall for the trick of those who are hell bent on creating disunity amongst Igbos using their propaganda to pitch SE Igbos against ethnic Igbos in delta. All my life I have not met any SE Igbo that discriminated against me or used derogatory remarks about me. Thanks! 4 Likes |

stop lies, ancient benin never streched to river niger, what benin had was influence, benin was scared of anioma igbo, that was why they built moats and walls round that their diabolic city.

tonychristopher:The ancient Bini empire had some strife with old Oyo, that could be the reason. On the geographical spread of the old Bini empire see the excerpt below: [/quote]By the middle of the sixteenth century, perhaps earlier, the Oba of Benin ruled over an area which spread from the region of modern Lagos to the Igbo-speaking communities of the present Delta State. Bradbury argues that it is clear that sentimental attachment to Benin and recognition of the Oba's temporal and spiritual authority did not necessarily depend on his ability to subdue a vassal by force of arms. Thus, for example, Lagos continued to pay tribute after it became a British Colony in 1861, and in the reign of Eweka I (the first Oba of the second period)--1914-1933--chiefs in the Ondo Province of Yorubaland appealed for the Oba's ruling in disputes over land and succession.[quote] *this thread is closed anyway, no need to revive it with this* |

This is the last submission I will give you...this was written by benin people themselves ...they admited that Igbo were invading them ........................................................ 5th Oba Oguola {About 1280AD-1295AD} The successor to Ewedo would have been prince Obuobu who was engaged in endless wars in Ibo land. In his absence, his brother was crowned with the title Oba Oguola. Oba Oguola dug the first and second moats to fortify the city from invaders from Udo. He further decreed that important towns and villages should build similar moats as defense systems around their communities. This has given rise to twenty of such moats around Benin City and its environs. He encouraged the systematic organization of the ancient guild of brass casting which was declining. The war menace from Akpanigiakon of Udo was ended when the Oba defeated his foe at the battle of Urhezen about the year 1285. http://www.edoworld.net/Obas.html lezz: The benin is overhyped Igbo Invaded them during ancient days and they invaded them during modern warfare# I will term Igbo Invasion of Idu(Edo) Ancient and modern |

lezz: This is often assumed rather than demonstrated/proven from the surviving traditions. Besides Agbor and Ubulu-Uku, can anyone name any other Anioma town that Bini traditions explicitly mentions as having been defeated by Bini in war? [Ubulu-Uku won't even accept the Bini version of their encounter] 1 Like |
Re: What Makes Delta People Tick? By Azuka Onwuka Of Punch by lezz(m): 8:23pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
Radoillo:OK, accepted. But could you clarify the often repeated oral tradition that some ANIOMA often say they came from Bini. I find it ludicrous and don't believe it. Any Ideas? |

tonychristopher:Beautiful. |
Re: What Makes Delta People Tick? By Azuka Onwuka Of Punch by Nobody: 9:32pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
lezz: There are lineages that certainly came from Benin, for example, the Umuidu in Ubulu-Uku who were remnants of the Bini army that once scoured the area. But like you, I'm not fully convinced that every town, village, hamlet in that area that claims Bini origin actually came from there. People who were under the cultural or political influence of an important centre of culture (such as Benin was) often develop traditions and claims that they came from that cultural centre. And I think that is what happened in the Anioma case...for the most part. |
