uckennety: Yes, I don't dispute that their authorities did not go beyond their towns. But you made it sound like only Agbor and Onitsha had kings. That's the impression I was trying to correct. I agree with your other points. |

As different as igbos are from enugu to edo,from edo to rivers,from rivers to cross-river we worship n fear one God! AmadioHa,ikenga,kamalu e.t.c same deities!

Oduduwaa: Benin has a lot of soft power influence, but it is a fallacy to say the Oba of Benin is the paramount ruler of any Igbo territory. That is a blasted lie and you know it. Having said that, it is an honour to the Igbos to have a great neighbour like the Edos and we, as well as they, can borrow aspects of culture from each other in a mutually beneficial manner. Nothing wrong with that. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

BornStunner1:The Edo people are a great people. Even in the 16th Century or so, the Benin Empire already had diplomatic relations with European powers. Their kings respect themselves and they are a united people. Their is so much to like about Edo culture. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

RedboneSmith:Are these kings Monarchies? And why is the Obi title only in Anioma and Kingdoms affiliated with Anioma. Could it be this? If the Ovie title of the Urhobos was corrupted from this Edo word Ovbie, then it makes lots of sense that Obi was also from this same word. The Urhobos eliminated the letter B while the Aniomas eliminated the letters B, E

uckennety:well, I'm from Agbor and I don't understand what you mean by a priest in Ikwerre or Enugu being respected and feared in Agbor. Every communal spiritual stuffs done in Agbor and all Ika is towards Edo especially the Esan area. If someone dies mysteriously, the family or community go for divination to know the cause of death. And many occasions too. Some Ika communities like Owa and others are good at necromancy as well. Even when someone is intimidated or offended and they want to report in a shrine, it's usually within Ika or Edo and nobody ever goes to the East for this. All our major deities are originated from Edo. From Ogun(Idigun) to Olokun and several others. The Olokun priestesses are called Ohenre or Ihenre for plural Edo is Ohen. The major festivals are Edo.

Cire80: I do not agree, and I will tell you why shortly. But first, how would you translate the name of this Agbor quarter in English. 'Ime Obi'. It doesn't mean 'Inside the King' now, does it? 1 Like |

Cire80: This is the comedy of the year. Obi is a title of a King in Anioma region and is rooted in Igbo language. The word for King in Anioma, even in Igbanke that is in Edo state is "Eze", Even though the Bini had forced the title "Enogie" on the Ezes of Igbanke people. Just as the title for a king in Anambra and Enugu areas is "Igwe", but the word for King remain "Eze" . After twisting distorting and Edonizing the Igbo title "Obi" to Ovbie, what are you going to do about the Igbo word, "Eze", that remains the word for a king? When a man buries himself, his hands would always be above the soil surface for all to see. 2 Likes |
Re: Is Oba Of Benin The Paramount Traditional Ruler Of Niger Delta and Igbos? by Cire80: 10:39am On Mar 08, 2017 |
RedboneSmith:What's the meaning of Obi in Igbo then. I'm sure you know quite well that every word must not be translated word for word. OK, assuming Obi is an Igbo word, translate it let's see. The Last time I checked, I didn't see any reasonable meaning of Obi in Igbo that relates it to kingship. No non Anioma king uses the Obi title. Only recently I started seeing some writing something like Eze of so so and so, then something like Igwe then Obi on bracket before the name and this is because of the prestige attached to the Obi title. Then you And are you going to ignore the Ovie title which was also corrupted from Ovbie? |
Re: Is Oba Of Benin The Paramount Traditional Ruler Of Niger Delta and Igbos? by Cire80: 10:42am On Mar 08, 2017 |
pazienza:I'm not talking about Eze. I clearly wrote Obi. Obi has never been an Igbo title. It's a clear corruption from the original Bini title just. Even the Urhobo version has the same root word. What is the meaning of Obi in Igbo? |
