Onitsha people are from Benin (Edo). They still pay ancestral visits to Edo and their brothers in Delta State (some Anioma extraction); Igbo Speaking Deltans.

Some families in Onitsha trace their ancestry to Ado n'Idu which some people believe could be Benin but logically speaking with present day understanding to be an Igbo speaking area just beside Bini. It could be Agbor, Owa, Igbanke or inside Bini as well but nobody is sure.

Go and discuss about your useless Imo state. You always joblessly and erroneously try to tell other people's story while you can't even tell your own.

This thread is about Onitsha and you cannot answer it by diversion it won't work
You oponu, again? It was the British that corrupted the name to Onitsha. Real name is onicha, which is very common Igbo name of many towns

Finding the meaning of Onitsha does not stop Fulani herdsmen from killing anyhow...

But now that we are asking meaning, what does (and I know some of you guys saw this coming) Nigeria Mean?

Yes Lugard's side chick is no longer around but it still means NIGGER area

'Onitsha' is a corruption of the Olukumi name for spirit 'Orisha'. The Olukumi are the aborigines of Ife. Threywere Igbo, and there descendants are today's Anioma Igbo. Google Moremi Ajedoro and the Igbos to learn more.

Wow, slow down there cowboy.

The Igbo or Ugbo that has to do with Ife is pronounced as ‘dodo’ not your Ibo sound. Also, they are the Ugbo of Ilaje in Ondon and are also in Ife. They have their compounds at Oke Ijan, Iwinrin & a few others in Ife. They were called Ugbo for dwelling in the forest from whence they launched attack. Ugbo in itself is a derogatory remark.

They are not and have nothing in common with Ibos.

Keep this in mind, please.

The Igbos in Ife were 'known for living in the bush'; the Igbos of today are known for their mangrove forest dwelling. A clue from nature itself.

LOL.

They moved to the forest in protest, they didn’t always live in forests. Their protest got disbanded and they moved to Ondo state.
