Ngozi123: Ur theory is wrong. U need to put a timeline on the Benin Kingdom, it is not that old. It is rather very recent. Secondly, is it easier for ur ancestors to cross river Niger to Anambra or walk from Akwa to Anambra? Do u know how big the River Niger is? Thirdly, do u know the location of Benin? Google map is ur friend.(Ondo state border to Anambra is a very long distance) It is impossible for Benin to administrate all those groups from that location. If i may ask wat was their mode of transportation? Fourthly, ur claims indicate that igbo existed in the west as opposed to the east, in otherwords Nri never existed. The fact that a few people in ur village have bini sounding name is not evidence of Benin rule. There are rather simple explanation like migration of those individuals and marriage, as u have Benin people with igbo names like Okoro. etc |

Benin Kingdom only became powerful after arrival of the Colonialist and their slave raids were not limited to Ika Igbos but also yorubas in Ondo and all the neighbouring tribes. This event is also similar to that of the Aro, Oyo and Asanti Empire. Let us leave folk tales and conduct research and write based on works of authority and evidence. 1 Like |

Ngozi123: Dunno why you are letting that clown that knows next to nothing confuse you that knows more than him!! You are allowing someone that had no ancestry contradict what your grandparents or mother told you about your ancestry!! That boy types jargoons thats why i do not even bother to enlightene him bcus it is obvious he does not have the brain capacity for well documated knowledge!! 2 Likes

This is the future for Igbo land, we will remove all the igbo girls and replace them with Sudan, Kenya and Uganda dark skinned. Our kids and women will be the darkest and these guys will leave us alone. Biafra is a card and this is also a card.

People that experienced the Benin Empire and Aro Empire will tell u they owned the whole surrounding areas and were powerful but that is all the white man strength becos wen the white man want to go directly to these communities, that was the end we heard of Benin and Aro. Go and read up on them. 1 Like |

hammerT: There's nothing wrong with outsiders admiring Igbo men and women, if anything, we should take it as a compliment. As long as the vast majority of Igbo men marry Igbo women and vice versa and do their best to maintain the culture then I don't see what the problem is. |

Ngozi123:I feel its OK to leave Rivers just the way it is...the only I'd suggest we do about rivers is to retrieve those areas carved into the state in 1976 and this implies the loss of oyigbo, ogba/egbema/ndoni, opobo and andoni LGs with the first two going to Abia and Imo and the last two going to akwa ibom state.

While walking from Benin to Onitsha did dey carry their boats on their head to cross the River? Or may be life started in West Africa? Then migrated to South Africa? Common sense is not common. |

BornStunner1: So the eastern parts is a desert in ur map abi? Ur stupidity is just wow. Y did u cut that part out, to focus on Benin and Onitsha? Yet the distance is evidently clear. Wat did dey conduct their travel with? Car or Train? Let us face it, Onitsha is as much Benin, as Ile Ife is Benin. U people and ur fairy tales never ceases to amaze me. One minute Benin Prince is wondering to Ife in Osun, the next minute Osun prince is wondering to Benin or is it Oyo(Ibadan) prince. I have added a map for the distance and reality of that journey to be clear. Then Benin is wondering to Onitsha. Benin just got up from their location and started speaking igbo and crossing rivers to Onitsha. 2 Likes

One thing that gives me joy is the simple fact that Onitsha and Asaba speak heavy igbo. Is their any amount of Benin history manipulation that will cause them to start speaking Benin? I think not, hence the devil fights in vain. The second aspect is their culture, it is fully igbo, they observe the Odinani. These cultural beliefs and religious practices, were gained from the Nri Kingdom. U cannot be igbo without following them and they still do till this day. Wen they drop all this and their igbo names then Bornstunner would have made gains rather than just ranting and deceiving some people. Beco u deceive some dont think all are deceived. Even in Anioma there, ur theory will be thrown out, just as the Benin slave raiders were defeated and thrown out during the Anioma and Benin War. Ndi Anambra will never entertain ur Benin ideas and any Obi that dares us will die. I dont mind losing my life to kill that person. 1 Like |

hammerT:Bros am sorry but this your assertion is silly. The urhobo, isoko, ijaw, itsekiri and all other tribes in delta don't speak Benin language but they don't deny the fact that they all came from Benin kingdom. The evidence is there, same way the evidence that igbos came out from the Benin kingdom. The Benin empire was vast with different people speaking different languages but they were all under the Benin kingdom. It was as a result of war that made several people to migrate from Benin down to delta State, down to anambra etc. 1 Like 1 Share |

Funny people, they find it difficult to believe that their ancestors migrated from Benin to Anambra, Abia, imo etc but they vehemently believe that their ancestors migrated easily from Israel that is found in another continent entirely down here to Igboland.

dragonking3: Sorry to say but Igbos are never from BENIN. We dont look like them, talk like them, eat like them or believe the samething as them. We are completely different and that is evident. I have explained my position on Anioma igbo and how they got there. I will not repeat myself further on that becos it is pointless. Igbo and Benin dont relate as such. Benin are Portugese and British slave raiders that were defeated by the Anioma igbo in the Benin/Anioma War. They were further defeated by the British and relegated to the realm of Oduduwa Kingdom where dey belong. 1 Like |

dragonking3: YES WE ARE FROM ISREAL. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. WE ARRIVED OUR PRESENT LOCATION FROM THE EAST AND CROSSED INTO PRESENT DAY ANIOMA AND SETTLED TOO. THE BENIN SLAVE RAIDERS FOR A BRIEF MOMENT HELD CERTAIN COMMUNITY TO RANSOM DURING THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE BUT WERE SOON REPEALED. IF THOSE COMMUNITIES THINK THAT MEANS BEING UNDER BENIN RULE OR ORIGINATING FROM BENIN, I PUT IT DOWN TO LACK OF PROPER EDUCATION. |
