Eri of 9th century gave birth to the ruler of Onitsha. And Onitsha also migrated from Benin empire in 14th century during the time of Oba eware and started having a king a (Benin prince) in 15th century. Now who is deceiving who?

That's an interesting theory but yet again u misunderstood what I said I will but it in more details.
The history of Onitsha is said to have begun with the migrations of its people from the Benin empire towards the end of the early part of the 16th century as a result of wave of unrest, war and displacement unleashed by the Islamic movement from North Africa. One version said that it was during their passage through the outskirts of ile ife that they acquired the name Onitsha, a corruption of Orisha Udo.
Another version has it that their migration to East of the Niger has to do with a misunderstanding that arose between the Onitsha family and the Oba Esigie (1404-1550), following the slighting of their shrine, Udo, by the Oba.
The immigrant settlers from Benin were said to have been helped by the igalas to cross the river to settle in Onitsha in the 16th century, which was originally called Ado N'Idu. It soon became the capital of an Igbo kingdom. In 1857, the British traders in palm oil established a permanent station in the city, and Christian missionaries soon followed.
The city of Onitsha was founded by Igbo group from Arochukwu under the leadership of Eze Chima.
One opinion holds that she was the daughter of Eri. Iguedo bore the founders of Ogbunike, Awkuzu, Umuleri and Nando.
Another opinion asserts that iguedo came from either Agukwu or Onitsha. Not many peace share this view. That iguedo came from Agukwu (NRI) could be an attempt to explain her relationship with the people of NRI. If she is said to have come from Onitsha, that may again be an effort to account for the profound respect which some parts of Onitsha accord her.
Iguedo relationship with the people of Onitsha is further supported and explained. In the letter to the resident of Onitsha province dated 12th October, 1932, the people of Onitsha were counted among the children of Iguedo. The signatories to the letter, on behalf of the people of Ogbunike, insisted that Onitsha was the daughter of Iguedo.
so u see it is uncertain whether she is the daughter of Eri or not remains a mystery.

there is noting like nri kingdom i can prove it to you if they give me the first 5 king of the kingdom, because a kingdom without a king is not a kingdom

the oldest kingdom in igbo is aunicha and agbor and asaba this people can tell you the name of their first king till date, so how can you say a kingdom that was larger than this 3 kingdom above have no king.

if it have they should submit the first 5 king

Nothing like Nri Kingdom? That right?

Some parts of Igboland don't call white people Oyibo, they use Bekee.
So that Igbo explanation kinda does not make sense, as it actually does sound like something that was "cooked" or made up.

Also the Intonation of Onye Ibo or Onye Igbo is quite different from the way Oyibo is being pronounced in Nigeria today. The word (Igbo) has two falling tones on I and O, While the 'ibo' in Oyibo has a falling I and a rising O. which is exactly the same as it is pronounced in Yoruba. Òyìnbó

Besides the PROPER Igbo word for white people is "Ndi Ocha" not Oyibo. You can never find the word Oyibo when you are having a deep Igbo conversation. Whereas even conc Yoruba people use Oyinbo in everyday speech and formalized academic literature.

The Wikipedia Igbo page for whites for example, has the title "Ndi Ocha"
https://ig.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ndi_ocha

The Yoruba Wikipedia page for whites has the title "Awon Oyinbo"
https://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80w%E1%BB%8Dn_%C3%B2y%C3%ACnb%C3%B3

Even today, the Yoruba word for "Bleaching" is still "Bo-ra" Bora from Bo - peel, ara - body.

^^^Word!

baby124:
It means peeled skin and is clearly a Yoruba word for white people or people with white skin. Pupa is the word for light skin black people. Oyinbo quite literally means peeled or bleached honey. Honey is brown naturally but when you " bo " it. "Bo" means to bleach or peel in Yoruba. Oyibo is a corruption of Oyinbo. Quickly transferred around Nigeria through its adoption in pidgin.

^^OYIN (HONEY) + BO (PEEL) = OYINBO (Peeled brown honey coloured skin of Africans/Nigerians reveals a WHITE SKIN inner layer). NOTE: The Yoruba word: OYINBO = WHITE PEOPLE (NON DEROGATORY).

pazienza:


Furthermore, at Aboh "R. A. K. Oldfield, a European, while on the Niger River near Aboh in 1832 had recorded locals calling out to him and his entourage "Oh, Eboe! Oh, Eboe!" meaning "White man, White man!" linked to modern 'oyibo'."

Deal with it. You can go and do the needful, if it can help you.

Ndo

In Idemmili areas Oyibo is a common name for old women. As of 90s there old Igbo women named Oyibo

"peeled skin" lol


"skinless"


Yeah, that's pretty accurate. lol
