why do we have significant yoruba population in Brazil? Why is yoruba Ifa practiced there?

Ogbuefi2020:

THe route is obvious, consider the route of the highway called East-West road. I will check my details for the rest

Ogbuefi2020:

You seem to be very versed in history. Benin did not move east through agbor but through ekpeye-ikwere axis. Aro advancement into anambra was halted by Awka people and their blacksmith guns. [s]Anaedo was saved by a native doctor who multiplied footprints of the female rabit (Nnewi) making the aros think that the place has no human inhabitants[/s] and therefore turning back. By the time Aro arrived Obosi, the Onitshas have signed agreement with British no thanks to the delay at Awka. But panick struck Onitsha and people fled their homes before British reinforcement arrived.

This is a very interesting topic.

My parent told me that

Onicha Uku
Onicha Olona
Onicha Ugbo and
Onicha Nmili (Onitsha)

were of the same parent. When they became adult they settled down in where they are today in Delta State. But the brothers had a bitter quarrel and this got Onicha Nmili very angry that he decided to cross the Niger river to settle down where Onitsha is today.

I don't know how true this story is, but Onitsha people has similar dialect with the other Onicha's. that is quite different from other typical Igbo speaking people in the core south east.

Oga stop talking rubbish.... Am Onitsha indigene, all u said here are rubbish.


Awada is own by obosi, and not Onitsha.... If there is any town gaining territory, then it's Onitsha.... Onitsha always win any land dispute issue with it's neighbors... Don't just come online be spreading fake news.

For the migration part, I can tell you that Onitsha migrated from current delta state, I don't know about the Benin story.... As you can see clearly, Onitsha don't have things in common with it Anambra neighbors but have same ancesstorial root with delta Igbos (Ika) , starting from culture, and names and traditional titles.

Bendeco2020:
The Op should come here in Onitsha and repeat this rubbish..... When Onitsha even call others ndi Igbo. The way them go take beat you if you come talk rubbish here, u might not survive...

Thats the major problem with the Benin bogus history, they achieved great strenght suddenly ridding on shoulders of the Portuguese but collapsed so fast too, now they are clinging on the monentry glory that did not last. All Benin princes who rulled from Owo to Badagry in the west and From Agbor to Ohafia in the east were flushed out like poo immediately they lost the monopoly of guns which gave them the initial advantage. Fulani conquest of Hausas and Yorubas survived till collonial era and have come to stay forever
