They may try to distort history, hide it or run away from it, but truth will always prevail.

Go and find out, Yorubas founded Onitsha, and named it. The original name is Orisha which changed over time to Onistha. Does Onistha mean anything in Igbo? Of course no

And we go collect am back las las and drive away those igbos away from there or better still, they should be paying tax to Southwest government

WaHala is ringing bell.

Kalakulu:
Yorogba rascal If you like cry from now till next year, Lagos is for the Benin Kingdom and Kwara belongs to the Fulani emirate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Do you people have anything originally. Your dressing was borrowed, you wear winter cap gifted to to you by the Europeans as your traditional cap.
You wear Aposhe uniform as traditional clothes
Your traditional festival is an English name , New yam festival
And you waited for Yorubas to name your land called Onistha

Anambra is a Yoruba land according to history. A Yoruba man who founded Anambra went to market but he got a call that some visitors were waiting for him, on his way home, he saw a shop where they were selling bras and decided to get for his wife which took him longer than necessary. When he got home and they asked him why he returned late, he said *'àn ńá brà'* (meaning we were bargaining bra price) that's how they came up with the name, Anambra.

Shebi all of us are now historians, let's continue that way.


Me: I tell you. It was Ọọni Abewela who established Onitsha as a market town. He named it Oonirisha market but when his non Yoruba slaves, the Igbo wanted to pronounce it, they got it wrong and called it 'Onitsha'. It is time we claimed our heritage.

2. Alaafin Adegoolu established Enugu. He once married a strange but beautiful girl. He loved her so much because of her beauty. Her teeth was perfect, a reason why Alaafin used to refer to her as 'ẹnu gún rege' which was shortened to 'enugun'.
There was fight among Oloris and Alaafin did not want Enugun to be deformed due to fight so he sent her to his newly established farm settlement far in the East and even ordered people to join her there. When the new settlement was getting larger, people asked the Alaafin what name would the place be called. Alaafin replied that "let us name it after my wife Enugun." That is how the place was named and after a long time, it metamorphosed to Enugu.
Kaaaaaabiesi o!

Craze no be monopoly of a people😁😆😀

This is not about benin

What does Onitsha mean? Pronounce Orisha and see it’s pronounced same way as Onitsha, no difference. Go and verify

Yorogba monkey when Igbos were casting bronzes, making unique fabrics like Akwete (google it) and creating magic with the famous Awka blacksmiths who fashioned advanced weapons even before the British met us, your ancestors were still killing each other like savages in the Kiriji wars. Look up the Ekumekwu resistance and how Igbos used advanced technologies for that period to resist British colonialism for more than 2 decades (one of the longest resistance to the British war machine by any African side).

Back to topic, the Oba of Benin don open una nyansh, small time we go chase una out of Lagos for good, Yorogbas have no history; your overrated Oyo empire stole all the ancient artifacts from Benin and claimed they were from Ife, even women from Dahomey are on record for defeating your warriors and sent your men hiding in caves under Abeokuta (under the stone )

You are right. The person that founded Onitsha is Bola Tinubu. Same way he attended a secondary school that was not existing before he graduated from the secondary school.

Case study of brain damage.

Who let the mad man out? Babablu bulabu

Oral history indeed!

Even those struggling with psychosis have their own versions.

The nurses on the duty need to be be queried on why they allowed a psychiatric patient on admission, have access to an internet enabled device...Omoawoke Aro mental!

Wahala!!!

Maybe yorubas founded onistha but igbos founded Onitsha know the difference and know peace

I agree with you, Yoruba founded Honitsha.

we the natives don't even pronounce it as Onitsha but onicha. It's the British that brought about that onitsha thing.

Kindly note that the ekumeku resistance was done by anioma people because some of you claim anioma Delta are not igbo

Yes Anioma are not Igbo, they are from Manchuria in ancient China, even the name "ANIOMA" is from China sef.
