Why and how anioma groups,even yoruboid ones like ugbodu,had ancestors with edo names had long been tackled by Ogbuefi,and i had re-echoed them in the delta igbo thread. Stop repeating same crap over and over again,nobody will be swayed by them. |

Keagborekuzi, keagbogeekwuzi,kedu ihe agbo ga ekwuzi, ole ihe agbor ga-ekwuzi. 'What will agbor say'. Same thing,the only difference there is dialetical,which varies from one igbo tribe to another. |

igbos never cease to amaze , me , this ika people have told your fathers that they are not igbo , and that they are ika and even umunede was a base for the nigeria army to chase your igbo fathers away from ika land , yet you will not rest , have you ever seen the obi of umunede in your igbo meetings, the answer is no , ika people in their majority will never be igbo , its like going back , but if igbos want to be ika , they are welcome, as your brand of ethnicity is not marketable for majority of ika people but , i guess you can sell it to ogbuefi and some igbodo people and ekwuoma people ,some of whose fathers came from igboland and because of their nearness to igbo cultural areas, that is good for them, but the truth is that this are the two least area with population in ikaland ,,but please did you hear that the entire igbodo kingdom almost chased away their obi for marying an igbo woman ? infact they chased the woman out of thier palace, and that shows that even in igbodo where your igbo defender ogbuefi comes from they know the difference between an ika woman and an igbo woman .\ ika people today bear both igbo and edo names, some bear both , while some bear all edo names , but the point is that the edo names is usually the surname of the average ika man, even if an ika man is today okafor okafor, when you go back to his grand father and great grand father you will end up with an edo name,but we are ika ethnic nationality and that is why majority of our people avoid any igbo group like a plague , we do not want distortion , as ogua/onu ika is the umbrella body for ika ethnic group , we are not member of ohaneze and igbos cannot speak for ika , i will advice the average igbo man to reflect on what happened to them in ika land during the war , and it will happen again as ikas will never follow igbos. |

Nigeria army also chased away Biafran soldiers from Asaba Enugu,Onicha,Aba and rest of Igboland and established military bases there.my friend ur logic is too weak. |
Re: History Of Ika People(umunede) by agbotaen: 5:08pm On Dec 14, 2013 |
the difference is that the people in asaba and the areas you mentioned fought and supported biafra 100 percent because they say they are igbo , while ika fully rejected being igbo and majority assisted the nigerian army to chase away the biafrans , so that is the difference . 2. when asaba and environs were massacred by the nigerian army , the ika people were not massacred , so can you see the difference now and if you dont know the history , please ask your igbo relatives that are alive then , olodo 1 Like |

sonya4all: I wonder what else u guys need 2 convince u that we can never be igbos.U r not ika am an ika citizen and ill tell u categorically.Owa oyibu in ika south lga for instance when they speak their unaldulterated ika,u will nt hear a single igbo word.Okay oza nogogo is in ika but their language is like that of latin.No need of much talk.Even if we were finally found 2 be igbos the ikas dnt like 2 be called igbos.Dodo gbani hiam ni eye le ndigbome.Dats an ika sentence meaning pls stop arguing because we are not igbos.Period.U r entitled 2 ur opinions Sonya you went through all this lenght to give this wonderful history which I really enjoyed...But I must say your thinking faculties are a little backward and rather immature. Why are you breaking arteries all in the bid not to be called Igbo even furnishing us with examples. Food for thought your being Igbo, Ika whatever does not increase petrol value in black market so why does it bother you so and why are you irritating us with your shallow problem. My advice is stick to objectivity and stop being subjective like a sophomore school girl.....*a heart felt advice no hard feelings* |

bloody igbo lier , which ikas did benin kill ? my father lived in benin during the war and he was not killed , and muritala lived in owa during the war and he did not kill owa/ika people , and ikas did not suffer the genocide that many others suffered , so dont bring your stupid igbo propaganda to ika , let me tell you , biafran troops also killed and murdered many people in ika areas too , just like the nigeria troops also killed some people too , but in ika , it was generally peaceful and our people were solidely behind the nigerian troops , and thats why biafra declared the obi of owa wanted dead or alive , abi you no no? my friend ika cannever be igbo and will never go along with igbos and ika was never part of your ill fated biafra , as ika is a seperate ethnic group 1 Like 1 Share |

I will like to state that the people of eka and agbor have always guarded their culture with fiercely in the face of all oppositions , we as eka people know where we come from and we are proud of our origin , we have a long history of kingship and culture that is why many people will not let us be , it is not new for a tribe to have two or more ancestory , e. g . take itshekiri , they have both benin and yoruba ancestory , but that does not make them benin or yoruba , today , they are know as itshekiris . but the founding father of their tribe was the a benin prince called iginua , son of oba olua of benin . we as ika people of agbor and owa will not wish to be drawn into stupid arguements with those who do not know our history and who do not know our culture and whose sole arguements rely on nearness of language as a proof of where a people come from , if he is a historian then he or she will know that changes in language can occur due to large migrations or trade or due to other factors . please can any one tell me what agbor means in igbo language ? going back to history agbor was called ogungunagbon or agbon , which means earth in benin language and the british changed it to agbor in 1906 . ,most eka founders or founders of agbon were benin princes and people from ishan land in ancient times and later other groups of migrants came from igbo land , some from yorubaland e. t. c . it will interest you to note that most of agbor and ika culture and traditions came from benin and edo areas . we call GOD- oselobue , we believe in ehi as our guardian spirit as the benin do, we perfom festivals like igue -new year , ogbanigbe , osi-ezi and ugboze . we dress like binis and maintain same dances like ojerima, okangan and uje like binis . our traditional gods are same as theirs like ovia, uhunmwunde, idigun, olokun e. t. c . we believe our kings are devine beings from the lineage of olokun and oselobue . our chiefthanct titles are same as benin , iyase, obasogie, obaseki , ihondor , ihama , ezomor , ologbosere et. c . our towns are divided into ebon (umu), idumu and ogbe , in agbor there are two languages spoken ozara and ika , ozara is edoid while ika is a mix of bini and igbo , each town has her history of founding fathers and they are well kept, there are still some titles that if you want to take in some villages today in agbor you must go to benin , where the original founder came from to collect things and receive blessings of approval . it will interest you to note that all ika and agbor kings are benin princes and the present dein of agbor is same royal blood family with the omonoba of benin . but all these do not make us binis , although in the past we bore benin tribal marks ,but today we are eka people , we are not binis or igbos , but we know where most of our ancestors came from , no proper ika man will want to be refered to as igbo , but properly as ika people . we the ika people share both igbo and bini cultures that is why we still have igbo names like ngozi , okechukwu and the likes , but we still have our benin names too like irabor , obaigbena , ovia, osagie etc. this is our heritage and we are proud of it, looking at my family history of about 800 years i saw all my ancestors were having benin names from omigie, agbontaen, ehiabor, imade, osaigbovou, efeizomor, okundaye , ebie, ogbe, e. t. c , so one day i asked my father why and he told me that our fore-father was the son of a prince from benin,and that our people from our village in idumu-ezomor were children of ezomor the great warrior general from benin who assisted oba esigie of benin to quell the ida war . some times it is good for people to consult natives of a place and ask them of their history , before the write on it. anioma is a big place , i know the igbo language plays a part in anioma history , but not all aniomas migrated from igboland and their are about 11 languages spoken there like ozara, ika, olokumi ( old yoruba), igalla, aboh, etc . that is the reason why no proper ika man will join any group like ohaneze, we have our own group called the ika group ,while we support anioma ,we also believe that those who can trace their ancestory to igboland should join the group, but we will like to say we the agbor and ika people should be left alone as we are a seperate people called ika . i am happy that this is bearing fruit as on delta radio there is now news in ika language as a different languge , ikas have commenced writing the bible in ika language and right now the gospel of mark, luke , mathew and john have been published and we have books on ika languge right now ,during the colonial times our people resisted the celebration of igbo day in ikaland, i want to state that the agbor people even though we have cultural afinities with some of our neighbours like ogwashi, ubulu-uku , asaba , i will like to say we are very different from them ,. we are ika people , we are not binis neither are we igbos . please take note 2 Likes |

What about New Zealand and Australia do they still belong to Great Britain? What Niger Deltan we saying, is that they hate the idea of biafra and very comfortable with project Nigeria ------------------------------------------------- Its not that we have anything against the Igbo its just that "Agbor le Owa esi ni elewe ndigbo" its that simple we do not wish to identify with the Igbo as a matter of fact my relatives have warned keenly that they will not approve marriage to an Igbo and I see no reason why not wanting to be Igbo should be a problem to any body. I unapologetically state that Agbor le Owa have stated long ago that they are not Igbo neither are we for biafra and still upholds that. You either accept this as a fact now or face it on the d- day when you do not see us fighting with you. it is not an act of cowardice, betrayal or backstabbing this is just the mistake the British made with Igbo and Nigeria that has led to the death of one million plus and we do not wish to make same. However, igbo may find brotherhood among the aniochas and probably with igbodo also. Agbor le Owa and majority ika say they are ika, let them be ika don't force them to be who they are not. your fathers have tried that and have failed trying to use their numbers against our minority; before one ika says he is Ika, more than a dozen Igbo attacks him but we are never intimidated by you. For more information's and clarity, pay a visit to orogodo and say to them you are Igbo and your land is igboland and see the response don't let one non ika or an ika who was not bred at home and relies on google in knowing the meaning of his name deceive you.
