3)"The writings of Physics MD is nteresting but it is
the mind set of many Benin people tribalism.At
least Bokohalal tries to be conciliatory with his
remarks and the likes of hysics Md thinks they can
re-write what is history, So if the people of Benin
were so protective like your grand father , wht did
they not counter the claims of the Anioma people
when it was brought to the Oputa panel in 2000, At
least with all of these eveidence you claim was the
fact on griund it would been enough evidence to
dismiss such "irresponsible claims" The people
ther at least claimed they were eye witnesses to
what happened and they were demanding
compensation, The Benin massacre as I call it was
real.Over 1,000 Anioma civilians were killed and as
you rightly noted they were also killings of Anioma
people(not Igbo as u claim ) in such towns like
Sapele and Warri.Because of our Midwestern
background it becomes easier to prey at us
because geographically , we were not Biafrans thus
when the genocide against Igbos occured we just
became the first victims.In my home town Igbodo,
tens were killed and the town almost entirely
demolished.The town was in days engulfed with the
stench of decomposing human remains.It was that
bad.Our Obi was mocked and asked to kneel down
to beg for the lives of his people(over 200 of them
who were lined up for killing by the federal
troops).These people were civilians.In the North,
they killed thousands of Igbos Anioma people
included, the best and brightest amongst us.One
Chief Osadebe, a business magnate and title holder
in Jos was killed and vast properties carted
away.In Bauchi one of the siblings of Nduka Okoh
who was to become the Acting VC of UNIBEN was
killed and now Benin, they killed many of our
people and called us "Ovbigbo".One Offor, a school
proprietor in my hometown was killed in Benin,
there was a case of a man who travelled to Benin
to buy milling machine for maize who was killed as
well after being exposed by those who he was
suppose to buy the machine from as "Ovbigbo"
there was even a sad case of a man who just went
to my home town to arrange for his marriage and
was killed after being exposed by his neighbours
as an Igbo man.
4)In my family close relative via marriage and a
civil servant then in the Ministry of Justice in the
course of the crisis sent his wife and children to
the village .But he stayed put.I dont know why but
the reports I got was that there was a rampant
looting of properties held by Anioma people by the
indigenes.This claim is not far fetched.The Anioma
to this day have always because of their superior
level of education had dominated the civil service
and somehow had enjoyed a higher standard of
living which must have been a source of envy and
admiration of theri Benin hosts.Of course , when
the problems came , it was the right opportunity for
those with siniter intents to strike.My relative was
a victim.His landlord along Cooke road then one
Bright(as he calls him ) unknown to him called a
group of the federal troops to his house where he
said an Igbo was residing.this was a man that
dines with him and helps occassionally in
finance.When he heard funny sounds he quickly
dashed to an excellent hiding place and when the
troops stormed the apartment, they could not find
anybody.They accuse Bright of deceiving them,
Where is the Igbo man ? they asked and he told
they perhaps he might have escaped somehow,
Then the troops saw the dog kept by my relative
family and shot it dead.
5)When , he was sure that the murderous federal
troops had left, at night , he quitely sneaked into
the bush.Benin was small and bushy those days
and from the bush after wandering from civilization
fro some days and in hunger, he stumbled an
Urhobo hunter in the Jesse axis , who took pity on
him , fed him and hid him in a camp in the
bush.Somehow, a villager from he hunters village
discovered him in the bush and went to the village
and told them that their relative had hidden an Igbo
man in the bush.They got to the site with the intent
to perhaps kill the helpless man but lest they knew,
that the hunter who was aware of their evil plans
quickly got to where he hid my relative and told
him what would be his fate if he does not leave
there.My relative told him, he was from the Agbor
area and pleaded with him to show him the route
to the area.The hunter took him to what is now
Sakponba-Agbor road and asked him to go
straight.On his way, tired he encountered another
group of federal troops who captured him and
bundled him in a truck.He thought that was his
last.They brought him back to Benin and took him
to a refugee camp ran by the Red Cross.It was
there he heard that the systematic anihiliation of
Anioma people by their Benin hosts had stopped
because of the bad image it brought to the Govt of
Nigeria.Everywhere , were thousands of refugees of
Anioma origin, those who survived the onslaught
and without their properties.This is a true live story
and I am not into swearing but my God knows"..

pazienza:
"It was this battle that gave birth to Murtala, a
“Local champion” called Ibrahim Haruna and
Ibrahim Taiwo of the Nigerian Army. Africans first
had the practical experience of the word
“genocide” in Igbodo where hundreds of lives were
lost in the Nigerian civil war. In Isheagu, the case
was not different. It was here that the ulterior
motive of the Nigerian troop clearly unfolded.
The people were now scampering for the safety of
their lives having experienced what happened in
Igbodo and some other places. In the Midwestern
region, able bodied men went into hiding leaving
women and children at the mercy of advancing
soldiers. The people of Benin went identifying their
Ibo-speaking neighbours from house to house for
executions."

This is Emma Okocha, reminding the world of Edo atrocities towards Anioma.

I'm yet to see such book written against SE from bonafide Anioma people.

Outright molestation, harassment and killing of non-Ibo civilians occurred on a daily basis. At night “suspected saboteurs” were fished out of their homes and arrested. The Hausa community in the Lagos street area of Benin and other parts of the state were targeted for particularly savage treatment, in part a reprisal for the pogroms of 1966, but also out of security concerns that they would naturally harbor sympathies for the regime in Lagos. But non-Hausas were just as badly treated. And as the hostility of the local population became more intense, so did the degree of indiscrete brutality for “internal security”. Non-Ibo alumni of St. Patrick’s College, Asaba and Government College, Ughelli, found to their chagrin that old school ties meant nothing in the new dispensation (17).

Fabrications that non of the fabricators could prove that any of them happened. None Whatsoever!
They couldn't provide the name of the Biafran unit or commanders in charge of the unit that committed the phantom crimes they concocted to justify their murder of Anioma Igbos.


Even if we are to assume those lies and fabrications are true and happened and were committed by Igbos, how does that justify Edo massacre of Anioma people, who you want to tell us today are now Edos and no longer Igbos?

Hehe! You see how logic failed you?

Cire80 or is it favor99 now? Can't you see how you had cornered yourself into a self defeating argument?

pazienza:
Anioma are Edo brothers. Hehe! They migrated from Edo, even though they speak Igbo.

We remind them of how Edo people massacred Enu-ani people in Edo with help from the FG. Hehe!

They shift the goal post immediately, removing Enu-ani and hence Anioma from their lies.

"Ika and Ukwuani are Edo brothers they scream"!
We remind them that Ika people in Isheagu, Igbodo and Ekwuoma were also killed by FG with Edo help.

They shift the goal post again!

"Igbodo and Ekwuoma are not Ika enough"!

Hehe. pathetic bunch.

Didn't Onitsha Igbos migrate from Benin? They speak Igbo to. We know
for a fact the Igbo's from Onitsha come from Benin kingdom. So if they speak Igbo,
then it also makes sense why the Ika/Ukwuani's and Ndokwas speak Igbo as well.
Once again whether you want you want to hear it or not, Ikas/Ukwuanis and Ndokwa's know their
Benin ancestry and we love them, accept and embrace them as our own. You can spew all this nonsense, you want
about the Biafra War, it doesn't change the fact that they are Edo. Just leave them alone. They don't want anything
with Igbo, so respect their viewpoint.

Does the name Eze Chime sound Edo to you? Cos that's the name of the father of founders of Onitsha and many other Western Igbo communities.

Eze Chime was an Igbo man who lived in Edoland, became too wealthy and prosperous so much that Edos got jealous and sought to kill him over frivolous excuse.

He ran for his life eastwards towards his Igbo homeland.

So, yes Onitsha migrated from Bini empire, but they were Igbos living in Bini empire.

So you have given up on your land grabbing of Enu-ani, it's now Ukwuani and Ika( minus Igbodo and Ekwuoma) right?

Oh! They should forget how you played a role in their massacre in 1966-70 and embrace you, so that you finish the good work you started, okwaya?

How did the Igbos called Aniomas, the Edos killed in 1966-70 metamorphose into Edo people that speak Igbos today, and that the Edos now tell us are no longer Igbos to be massacred, but are now brothers to Edos?


Hehe!

Thanks favor99. Don't mind these confused Igbons.

They play dirty and they think I would ever descend to such low with them. They have the population and most of them are jobless so they create many monikers as different ethnicities. Now they're getting suspicious because this is what they do. Most times, they leave the real bone of contention and start talking irrelevant that just to bore you.

During the war, Ika people were shuttling from Benin to Onitsha buying and supplying salt, cigarettes, local snuffs and gun powder to the Igbos because of the big profits they were making. Do you know what saved them from the Nigerian Troops? Ika language.

I've heard tales from lots of people that engaged in such risky tales and they all recount their encounters at the hands of the Nigerian troops. When they are confronted by the Nigerian troops, they engage in interrogation sessions where they're asked many things especially their hometown. If they say they're Ika, the only license they have to life is to speak Ika language and they're saved. Murtala was so in love with Ika that there are Ika indigenes in all the companies.

Pazienza weldone u r so much on point... You have dealt mercilessly with the twats... I was laffing at how they wea reeling like a drunk from the superior mental blows u r dishing out to them... God bless u bro.

There is absolutely notin like ika language to someone who isn't Igbo and is sincere cos when u hear the ika dialect what comes to ur mind is dis is an Igbo person days if u r sincere to urself...

The same way a non Yoruba would immediately mistake Itsekiri as Igbo is the same way a non Igbo would mistake Ika for Igbo but this doesn't make Itsekiri Yoruba nor does it make Ika Igbo.

I heard the stories of what happened during the Civil War from seniors. Many of them were engaged in trading goods that were banned during the war. They all have one testimony. Ika saved them. There are many Anioma soldiers with the Nigerian troops. If you doubt this, take a night bus to Ika and verify. Interact with the indigenes and ask for civil war tales from old men.

" Onye izhi ghu, no mbomu".

"Mbawa ine eme adikaghu kwa"

"Ohu nta ghu na anya"

"Ezhi ghu ga ekerughue"

I don't know how many Igbos that can interpret those sentences.



I love my Nkanu dialect! I rep Enugu South to the core. Speak and understand Nkanu dialects fluently.


I'd like to see non Nkanu Igbo people on this board try and interprete those Nkanu sentences I wrote. Hehe!

Since no one will take the challenge here, let me translate them myself. Some of them can't be directly translated without losing the meaning

"Ji eye no wehu"- Di ya no ebe ahu


"'Anamta Ebushire Bushiru ghu"- Aga m eti gi ihe

"Ihuo, Iyewa Ashawakanu"- Ihukwa, ihewa e bidokwala

"Onye Izhi ghu, no mbomu"- Nwanne gi ukwu no ebe ahu

"Mbawa ine eme adikaghu kwa"- "Otu a, isi eme, adikwaghi nma/ Ihe a ina eme,adikwaghi nma.

"Ohu nta ghu na anya"- Nwanne gi nta, na ebe akwa

"Ezhi ghu ga ekerughue"- Ahu gi ga agwa gi. ya( Your body will tell you)

eg." Anamta ebushire bushiru ghu, Ezhi ghu ga ekerughue"

If tomorrow Nkanu people starts promoting Nkanu as a language of its own and an independent ethnic nationality outside Igbos.

See how easy it would be for them to show the differences between Nkanu speech form and central Igbo, while hiding the obvious similarities between them and Ndiigbo.
They would even point out that the average Imo man would struggle to understand "Nkanu language" on first hearing.

With 5 LGAs, Nkanu have many sub dialects which can easily be promoted to dialects of "Nkanu language" while phantom origin stories of migration from Anywhere but Igboland will be hatched and promoted.
