Benin Origin Of Onitsha City! by Danladi7: 10:42am On Nov 23, 2017
Onitsha Mmili was known as Ado N'Idu by migrants
who departed from the vicinity of the Kingdom of
Benin near the far western portion of Igboland (near
what is now Agbor ), after a violent dispute with the
Oba of Benin that can be tentatively dated to the
early 1500s. [5] These migrants traveled eastward
through what is now Western Igboland and various
towns also called "Onitsha", for example Onicha-
Ugbo, "farmland-Onitsha". Folklore has it that, Onitsha
was founded by one of the sons of Chima, the
founder of Issele-Uku kingdom in western Igboland .
Chima, a prince of the ancient Benin kingdom
emigrated, settled and founded what is now known as
Issele-Uku in Aniocha North Local Government Area.
The eldest son of Chima eventually emigrated across
the Niger River to establish the Onitsha community.

SINCE WHEN IS WIKIPEDIA A CREDIBLE SOURCE ?
In precolonial maps made in the 1400 Lagos is already pictured as being part of the Benin Kingdom !
So for you to make your bold claim about BENIN Kingdom, it would mean that you can time travel. Can you ?

Hahahaha.
Dem nor wan accept Benin ancient influence.

Benin is not claiming any body's land in 2020. But we cannot allow people deny Benin history.
Greater Benin is one of the most widespread people in Africa.
