Who know this story

Now, who is Princess Inikpi, whom history records as being buried alive and how? if she was indeed a princess, how could her father, the king permit such atrocity? Princess Inikpi's story is one emanating from an inevitable consequence of history and not an accident of history. The history of the Igala kingdom will surely not be complete without recollecting the very important role of princess Inikpi. she was a very beautiful woman, from the royal family, a heroine with great attributes, her story is that of selfless commitment and sacrifice to the course and survival of the Igala nation.

According to historical records, a war was imminent between the Bini kingdom and the Igalas. Nowhere was safe in Igala land anymore. The farmlands were already cordoned off by the enemies and the streams poisoned so that anyone that drank from them would die. The Igalas feared imminent death from starvation and lack of water. When oracle was consulted, it proclaimed that a reversal of their misfortune and victory in the war could only come when the princess, the only daughter of the king is buried alive.

Princess Inikpi was the only beloved daughter of Ayegbu Oma Idoko, the Atta of Igala kingdom. when he was informed of the only solution to forestall the destruction of his homeland by the Oracle through some eunuch in his palace, he was crushed and heartbroken and sheded tears. He earnestly wished there was an alternative. For days, he could not eat nor drink. The princess noticed how downcast her father was and asked to know the reason behind his sadness. Instead of opening up, he held off telling her the story for seven days, but on the eight, he relented and told her the words of the Oracle.

Princess Inikpi did not object, she did not fight. She went voluntarily on that day to the bank of River Niger, where she was buried alive. It was a sad resolution but the Igala people hailed her for her heroism. after the sacrifice, the story went on that as the Bini armies advanced to swoop, they saw the whole town in FLAMES and retreated feeling that there was no need taking war to a place already on fire; but it was the blood of Inikpi that deceived them.

I have heard the story as well and in the traditional sense of view, the igala tribe acknowledged her sacrifice by immortalizing her through a statue and they have allowed the story to spread from generation to generation.

Thank God for Christianity... if not eh......

Why couldn't the bloodsucking deity nd it's stupid priests that asked for the sacrifice, perform the magic without sacrificing a human?

How can I even unread this biko?



For those of you quoting me be rest assured that if twasnt for Christianity, most of you could have been sacrificed on the alter of some of these deity with impunity

So they've always been this fetish?

Anyways, they buried her alive in vain because the survival of Igalaland is ever threatened by Fulani herdsmen; from Aku to Ankpa...their ravage is felt.
And Princess Inikpi looks away as her kingdom is upturned.

Maybe they should do the same to the Attah of Igala who is worse than a rubberstamp figurehead.

Hmm

Hahahahaha and they couldn't burried anyone in Nigeria to prevent the Whiteman invasion....


And we couldn't burried even a goat to prevent the disaster in Aso Rock.


Bedtime story to cover up their cowardness to fight a common communal clash.

COWARDS

Dat was how we were also told Oduduwa fell from d sky... Myth or history? Sounds more like myth

wamide042:

It’s history... you can as well google Opa Oranmiyan.... you will get more info..

D whole Oduduwa descent from d sky story is pure mythology. Google and research can tell u dat and d Opa Oranmiyan was erected by a Yoruba king and most of d story surrounding it are also myth.. D same goes for dis princess story

Well if some people can believe someone died for their sins, who am I to talk bad of the ‘savior princess’. It just common sense . Foreign stories vs Traditional stories .

History lesson.

Meet??











I don't "meet" dead people mbok.

what a sacrifice ---

but are the people FREE today ?

Good stuff!!
But are these stories myths or they actually happened
Cause I have read countless stories about princesses from almost every kingdom in Nigeria they all have almost the same storyline which begs the question

Very primitive and backward people


That's why we are where we are

B

Ok

Hmmm

K

Ah

Some Moda fuckkers won't believe this story

But will accept the one from the white men that says one low budget asss Moda fuckkker called jesus whose father and mother was a broke asss carpenter and a broke asss bitch died for our sin

But wait o. He be like say this Bini people ehnnn them be strong and stubborn people in the past o

Only people when get mind to start war with white men that year
Na their son even be the ooni of Ife

Na even their son found Lagos
Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko

Na even for Benin city the first mass (Catholic prayer) was said in West Africa

Princess with guts and love for her people unlike modern day princesses.
