My evidence:
1) the pictures below
2) since you guys love to identify ethnicity with name similarity: the name of the grand father of the current Obi of Agbor is Gbenoba
3) Okowa (a politician) can make any political claim of ethnicity as he feels his political ambitions need, he speaks his opinion or his political interests, history is not based on opinions, it is based on evidence. If Okowa wants, he can even claim he is Hausa, who cares.

Ghostwon821:

1)Look you don't give orders !
2) if you want me to answer your question then first answer mine.

DMerciful:
Yes some but not all of us. I'm too exposed to hold unto tribal nonsense. Life expectancy is too short to be holding unto that besides if you consider the size of Earth in the universe and considering the whole of humanity is in the pale blue dot, we have no reason to be fighting. I'm not even in Nigeria and to see how people from different countries live happily together here while my country people keep hating on one another is pitiable

gidgiddy:


Well since the King of Agbors name, Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi, means nothing in Edo language, but had complete meaning in Igbo language, it is safe to say that the king has lost his Edo roots, if he ever had one

omonnakoda:
How is asserting ones identity " tribal nonsense "
Besides you are tribal champion so do not be a hypocrite

DMerciful:
The reason I get angry with you guys is because of your lack of equity. I'm a strong believer of equity and I know a just and peaceful society must be based on equity.

In real life, i treat everybody thesame whther from my place or not.

omonnakoda:
Who are
YOU GUYS?
YOU are a hypocrite.
What are you talking about? Equity?You are not making sense

DMerciful:
Why do you think the major ethnic groups in Nigeria are having so much friction? Its lack of equity, some groups feel they have the advantage of getting more than their fair share. Ofcourse, you can't have peace and harmony in situations where some groups wanna cheat others.

I'm far from being an hypocrite

Ghostwon821:

Oh so you think I was born yesterday? You want to play this silly game ? Ok
1) how do you know that Uku Akpolokpolo has no meaning in Igbo ?
2) isn't Uku part of the name ikechukwu ?
3) I guess you have suddenly abandoned the word Ukwu/Uku just to win an argument. Answer both questions above.

Ghostwon821:

1) Basically you guys in the southeast have written propaganda to make the good people of Agbor believe they are Igbo and you call that your propaganda "history"
2) Now that everybody knows what "fake news" is, I bet everybody also knows what "fake history" is. And what you want people to consider history is an Igbo written revisionist work of political propaganda.
3) you can't tell a story which took place one thousand years ago in our region, because we didn't have a written language.
4) Agbor people have told you already, they are not Igbo ! Stop harassing them !
5) I bet you don't know who the people on the pictures below are.
6) stop telling people their history when you don't even know yours. I will tell you: the British combined a bunch of seperate tribes of canibals in order to make it easier to rule over them, those tribes are the people we call Igbo today and who think they are just one tribe.
Again Ika are not Igbo.

You need to be clear what you 're talking about. It does not make sense to me

DMerciful:
Happy new yr in advance. We must agree that Nigeria is not working for most Nigerians and we should be patriotic enough to vote wisely in 2023!

Ghostwon821:
Also the Oba of Benin in 1915 answered the name "Eweka" which many have likened to "Emeka".
Your have no argument.

Ghostwon821:

Why do you keep denying your canibal ancestry identity ?
If you are so desperate for land then try your luck with English speaking Cameroonians whom are actually close to you in terms of history and somewhat ethnicity.

How I hate when someone comes from an other place and just believes he knows you better than you know yourself! He puts the label of his so called tribe upon you as if you were his slave and he wants you to take it and shvt up. Southeasterners are just crazy. Even your tribe was created by the British from a bunch of cannibal tribes who lived in a small piece of land.

Ghostwon821:
Benin city was the capital of Benin empire and the nobles of Benin empire all had immediate family in Benin city. All empires do that, the centre collects immediate family members of the reigning monarch and that generally includes the next monarch. In a precolonial book, it is mentioned that some Europeans who were in an adventure in West Africa sought the support of the Oba of Benin who then ordered an Obi in his court to protect the Europeans and take some soldiers with him.

What I am saying is that the people of Benin city are the common denominator of the entire Benin empire, wherever you are in Benin empire, people of the same ancestry as yourself are in Benin city and being referred to as "Bini". This is why Benin city is home to all the different people of Benin empire. You are all Edo.

omonnakoda:
yes it is not working but you need to clarify the previous point
Don't chicken out

Which point? The Igbos and Yorubas are the people holding Nigeria down due to their continuous fight for tribal supremacy but an unbiased observer will put more blame on the Yorubas. Yorubas already did 8yrs presidency and 8yrs vice presidency...its equitable to say since its coming to South, it should go to SE. That kind of gesture would bring cooperation among them which ultimately benefits Nigeria.

I have always said in my signature that only the cooperation of Igbos and Yorubas can move Nigeria forward

omonnakoda:

Let me genuinely remove you from what I will say next
No insult to you.
But what you said is extremely stupid. What has that got to do with Agbor
First you want to pretend Nigeria started in 1999.It did not
The history of Igbo attitude to Yoruba in the first republic is well documented.There is no need reopening wounds
So because Obasanjo has been president once Igbo must be once? It cannot rotate 1:1
There is not a statistical basis to talk of inequity after just one presidency
There have been 3 elected president s from the North all Fulani.non Hausa or Kanuri they are united
The ibos really need to look at their attitude .This notion Yoruba have it once we must have it once only makes sense to Ibos.
It was not gifted to Yoruba they worked toward it .Abiola won and did so even though Ibos voted


You complain about quota system in education but want it in politics
Is that not hypocrisy
Presidential system is not right for Nigeria and under such a system Job cannot be president
What you need to do is obvious but you are too arrogant

DMerciful:


Agbor is Igbo whether we like it or not and whatever prejudices Igbos face, Ika people are lumped into those prejudices

Ghostwon822:
I don't believe an Igbo or a Yoruba should be president, you guys act as if you were the only ones present in the south. Also Fulani always claiming presidency for the north is no excuse for Yoruba monopolising presidency in the south, it may pain some Yoruba to hear this but, you didn't conquer anybody, the fulani conquered a huge chunk of the north, not all but a big part.
If anything, I would like to see an anioma president.

Ghostwon822:
Agbor is definitely not Igbo, whether you like it or not.
By the way, wasntyit your own people who complained that buhari nominated no Igbo in security positions eventhough he had nominated General Irabor ?

DMerciful:
Like i said, in a situation where one group think they have the advantage of getting more than their fair share, there will always be friction and retrogression.

You allude that Nigeria did not start in 1999, which shows that you're not ready for peace but wanna continue the old ways. I have said that the worst thing that happened to Igbos and Yorubas is bringing Biafra back into Nigeria. They would have moved on as separate countries by now

Agbor is Igbo whether we like it or not and whatever prejudices Igbos face, Ika people are lumped into those prejudices

Cantonese:


Your words: “love to identify ethnicity with name similarity”. And you claim to be educated? Name similarity is a pointer to affiliation, if you do not know. If your name is Ahmed, there is a possibility that you are from the North, SW, Muslim SS or a Muslim at the worst.

DMerciful:
When they start killing Igbos in the North, you as an Agbor man, dont run! They'll treat you in the language you'll understand

omonnakoda:
what is fair?
How is that defined 1:1rotation of presidency?
So we need quota system?
Should that apply to importation and commerce,education or just the president?
Do ibos have more than a fair share of electronic and spare parts business?

Parachoko:
Keep on deceiving yourself.

I doubt you have ever met an Ika man before. No Ika man will claim to be Igbo.

Your opinion does not matter because you are not an Ika man. You can just talk, that's where it ends.
