[b] STATEMENT OF FACTS ON THE SUBJECT MATTER
The language and culture of the good people of Igbanke are losing their envious identity and relevance in culture-linguistic market-place in Edo state in particular and Nigeria at large.
Several reasons are evidently present to support the fears and anxiety of the people of Igbanke that our identity as a people would go into sudden extinction if urgent measures are not quickly taken to address our emasculation by Bini language dominance. The following points support the facts of the subject matter:
1) Igbanke is one of the few communities in Edo state that speak Ika language
2) Igbanke is located in Orhionmwon Local Government Area, Edo state.
3) Igbanke, by name is in Orhionmwon LGA, but geographically, we do not share common boundary with any community in the council
4) From the eastern flank, Igbanke shares common boundary with Mbiri, an Ika speaking community in Delta stae, from west, it’s bounded by Oghada, another Ika speaking community in Uhunmwode LGA in Edo state. In the northern sphere, Igbanke has boundary with Ekpon, Ika speaking community in Igueben LGA while from the south, it has Agbor and Oza-Nogogo, Ika communities in Delta state as neighbours.
5) Igbanke is in Edo south senatorial district
6) Igbanke people and community came under the Bini empire during the latter’s expantionist programme.
7) Most of other Ika speaking communities that were conquered by Bini empire same time with Igbanke have gotten their independence in Delta state while Igbanke, Oghada, Otobaye, Iru, Ekpon and Ogbeka etc are selfishly scattered in three local government areas with the attendant linguistic discrimination and political marginalization.
Igbanke are gradually losing their linguistic and cultural identity as a result of our involuntary affiliation to the Bini language-speakers dominated Orhionmwon LGA.

ISSUES FROM THE STATEMENT OF FACTS
Consequent upon the facts drawn from the subject matter, some issues could be deduced to support Igbanke search for linguistic and cultural identity. These issues would go a long way in justifying our position.
1)Igbanke was deliberately, but selfishly carved into Edo state during the 1991 state creation irrespective of the linguistic difference between the people of Igbanke and the dominant Bini speaking population of the state.
2) Over 96% of Ika speaking communities in the defunct Bendel state were carved into Delta state while Igbanke and a handful other Ika speaking communities were severed into Edo state where they are presently subjected to acute linguistic and sundry discriminations
3) Because of linguistic factor, the people of Igbanke feel more at home with their kiths and kins (Ika speaking people) in Edo and Delta states.
4) Igbanke is made up of six (6) autonomous clans: Ake/Obiogba, Idumu-Odin, Igbontor, Oligie, Omolua and Ottah. These clans were governed by traditional rulers called ‘’Eze or Obi’’. These terms were of Ika origin, but have been forcefully changed to ‘’Enogie’’ a Bini term by the conquering Binis.
5) Our ancestral heritage like language, names and beliefs are being systematically destroyed by the domineering power of the Binis. [/b]

You're just making noise
When the war starts,we'd simply bribe some essential ethnicities to sit out the war while we crush the petulant ones.
Always have this at the back of your mind that any hand that touches Igboland(whether SE or SS) would be cut off. The only ethnicity that can contend with us in Nigeria are the Awusa and we've already made contingency plans for them

d fight wil not be btw biafran and ss, it wil be nigeria state and biafran,

EUROBOMBER:


The only reason why Nigeria fought with us in 1967 was crude oyel.

When the crude oyel dries up, the north will not waste hundreds of thousands of her youth fighting Igbos because of 'We SS' people. The Yoruba will never sacrifice her youth because of you either then you will understand the difference between khaki and leather.

Nuff said.

Benjamin Adekunle was an Ijaw man, who gave these homeless rats access to the internet?

Jesusloveyou:
every tribe in ss always maintain their stand, no one encroach each other, living peacefully until dis moment of una noise about biafran, just leave us alone, u can go to lagoon or Cameroon with ur biafran but don't encroach an inch of ss land, #weareone

TonyeBarcanista:

That dude you quoted is "Confused". Ijaws have been living with other ethnic group for centuries without trouble. In Warri, they are with the Urhobo and Itsekiri, in Edo with the Binis, Esans etc, in Ondo they are with the Yorubas, in Rivers with the Ogonis, Ekpeyes, Ogbas, Ikwerri etc.

Appareil:
Tonye, remember how I hailed you from here. This thing between you n the Igbo who fought your enemies with you during GEJ's struggle, doesn't sound right to me at all. Not so soon Ah ! Wona no try at all

iconize:


You can be whatever you wish to be. I don't give a rat ass.

You made a foolhardy claim, and that claim you must buttress with facts and not vacuous opinions.

You must think Nairaland is yo village square where every illiterate comes to make preposterous claims and expect peeps to swallow hook, line, and sinker - without being challenged.

Buttress yo claim about the population of the Ijos, and stop running in circles.

PS: stop referring me to Google. Bring here whatever you think Google has to offer concerning yo claim.

Appareil:
You had better not mention Cameroon again. For your information, Cameroon is closely related to SS and they have no resemblance or connection with Biafra.. However, I remember Igbo stood with SS for Johnathan and even if you differ with them on this Biafra n SS alliance, endeavour to treat it with care especially on social media. It is eating me up so badly. Thanks !

Jesusloveyou:
it suppose to be an individual thing, as u can see, i am from ss, but i vehemently stood against d clueless corrupt hero, so u can decide to support gej, but it shouldn't be a blackmail for "we ss" to support biafran, bring out a better candidate from Biafra for president, "we ss" wil render d same support but we say #notobiafran

TonyeBarcanista:

I have NO problem with the Igbos or any other ethnic group. However, some people are the ones creating problem where there naturally should be non. Check my posts so far!

Ugomba:
who said so? Which tribe in SS Here can challenge we Aniomas in Achievements?
The raw truth is that Ijaw will colonize the ND Republic. I know their behaviour very well.
