QueenAgbo:


No,Ika is Ika and Benin is Benin.

Are you fine?

ABI you insult me, because Igbos are know for insulting anyone who disagree with them.

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.

Cantonese:


Baba historian. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

This your story, how e sound to you sef?

Cantonese:


How long will you keep denying your identity?

Take your time to read the history of Agbor land/people instead of living in denial.

Cantonese:

How long will you keep denying your identity?

For a long time, one Bini guy has been claiming that Agbor is Bini territory. When I asked him why the king of Agbor, Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi, has an Igbo name, the guy had no answer

ImperialYoruba:


But the King also said this

gidgiddy:


You mean the king, Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi, who has an Igbo name and surname?

Ghostwon821:

His grandfather's name is (Obi Obika) Gbenoba.
Below is the picture of his grandfather.
I already made this argument, but as usual you guys run when you are proven wrong.
You claim the Obi's name is an igbo name, I don't know why his name would belong solely to Igbo, you guys keep forgetting that Uku Akpolokpolo is part of the name of the Oba of Benin. Anyways his grandfather's name is clearly Edo ! The same name as that of some of my family members in Benin city !

gidgiddy:


His Grandfathers name is Edo? While his name Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi is clearly Igbo. Someone should go and ask him where the confusion comes from. At what point did his family switch to Igbo names, and why?

Ghostwon821:

I'm not a historian, I only happen to not invent history. Unlike you and most people around you, I actually go to libraries and look at precolonial documents in Europe.
Unlike you I am actually educated in a field of science.
Unlike you I didn't get my thinking compromised by the masses of uneducated Nigerian bigots.
Unlike you, I know it is not about "how it sounds" but rather about "is it true, let me see evidence".
Unlike you, I grew up around educated people, not illiterates.

Ghostwon821:

1) The name Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi is not more "Igbo sounding" than the name Uku Akpolokpolo.
2) you guys have no idea of the origins of names, you keep making unwise assumptions.
3) You clearly know nothing about the monarchy system outside of your south-east, in Benin empire, it is not a surprise that a monarch would not have the same name as his father, take a look at the Oba of Benin, his father's name was Erediawa and that is the surnnsme of his siblings, but he goes by the name Ewuare and his children have Ewuare as surname.
4) why do you people in South-east just wake up one day and believe they know people better than the people know themselves? You people's ego is really too much!
You don't know a single thing about Agbor, yet you believe you can come and educate the people of Agbor on their history and identity!!?

gidgiddy:


Uku Akpolokpolo means nothing in Igbo. Can you tell us what "Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi" means in Edo language? Or do you want me to tell you what it means in Igbo

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 You part of the name ikexhukwu ?
3) I guess you have suddenly abandoned the word Ukwu/ You just to win an argument. Answer both questions above.

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.

gidgiddy:


Tell us what "Ikechukwu Keagborekuzi" means in Edo language

Cantonese:




I just laugh at you, young fellow.

Why are you beating about the bush? The question is: how is it that the Agbors are not Igbos? How are they Binis?

May I ask further to that: how is it the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa lays claim as the PDP candidate of Igbo origin, seeing that he is a respected Agbor son? Bear in mind that at several fora, Gov Okowa has openly maintained that he is an Igbo man.

Note once again that your arrogance and wrong choice of words, have not in anyway produced the needed facts.

DMerciful:
Keep quiet! I'm from Ika and Igbos are our closest relatives culturally

omonnakoda:
You are now Ika

DMerciful:
Are you just knowing? I'm Ika from Delta State and I'm Igbo!

omonnakoda:
youdoneminnit
I thought you were Ikwerre

DMerciful:
I'm not Ikwerre, Ika in Delta State.

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

omonnakoda:
Ika people even deny Igbo more than Ikwerre
