Ikwerre And The Position Of Benin Kingdom. Is It Political, Cultural Or Lies by AmuDimpka: 6:31am On Jul 24, 2016
IKWERRE BINI ORIGIN AND THE POSITION OF THE BINI KINGDOM

One among two Ikwerre representation is the Bini origin.

Who is Akalaka?

The Bini Kingdom in many occasions rejected the Ikwerre Bini root adding that Akalaka is an Igbo man, the late Oba of Benin stated clearly that there is no record showing that Akalaka migrated from Bini and however kicked against our Bini claim.
Record shows that the Uhrobo, Isoko and Itsekiri were actually the tribes that migrated from Bini down to the Delta where they settled.
Actually the Bini empire influenced so many ethnic groups among which are Igbo of Onitsha, Nnewi extraction, and Anioma extraction of Delta, that is why some part of Igbo land have the Obi.

The Ijaw were also influenced by the Bini empire but the original Ijaw history maintained that the Ijaw did not come from anywhere but they originated from the Niger Delta which is the best history so far, does it translates that others who claims Bini migration are strangers in their land? Yes, that is exactly what it's connotes.
Does it mean that some Ijaws are right whenever they lay claims to the entire Port Harcourt?

The Bini Kingdom have requested for an evidence of the Ikwerre Bini origin uptil now we have not been able to prove it, no Bini words in Ikwerre language, not even a Bini name.
The Ochichi we claim was our original name is not a Bini name.
You don't wait for anyone to tell you that Uhrobo, Itsekiri and Isoko are all from Bini.
The Bini empire influence is felt in Kalabari Kingdom but the Kalabaris don't deny being Ijaw.
The fact that Okrika is in Rivers State does not mean they are not IJAW because they are not from Bayelsa.
Opobo is mix of Igbo and Ijaw but archaeological evidence has it that the people are Ijaw but are classified as Igbani due to the mixture of Igbo blood and the Ijaw blood.

JE BINI JE JUKWA
