markfemisgay:
The binis and igbos own lagos that is the simple truth.

ModsWillKillNL:


The last LG elections have shown us that the aberration won't happen again.

2019 will soon be here.

It has already stopped!

zenmaster:

Peace be upon you for saying the truth.

Alariwo2:
Igbos are well known land grabbers.. so this story might just be true.

Hope the Ijaws, Ikweres and co. in Niger Delta gets to see this. Igbos will take their Oil and dislodge them if they ever get the chance

totit:


Just like yoruba and bini people own the whole of SE. That's facts nobody can dispute bro take a look at the crown of oba of onitcha

mesoprogress:


Exactly my point. Bini was small but had a united kingdom. They could have sent Eze Chima to rule Onitsha. But then Onitsha already had indigenous population. In fact the Eze Chima might be Igbo who absconded from Bini. All Igbo languages and market days in Bini were borrowed from larger Igbo ethnic group

zenmaster:

The OP does not realize the import of the logic he/she is spinning.

If Onitsha belongs to the Bini, then the case can be pushed that Bini land is part of Igbo 'diaspora'

Alariwo2:


But wait o.. Igbos call their rulers Igwe, Eze etc.

They had to change "Oba" to "Obi" and even Onitcha to Onitsha to suit their agenda.. See craftiness o

Choi!.. Binis must wake up and reclaim their territory

christopher123:
Do Benin man bear eze chima ?


Can anyone tell us the traces of Benin language in Onitsha


People should stop this Benin....thing


Is it not the small Benin I know

Diademk07:


3 Ibo candidates indeed beacuse oghene egbor is Ibo? Osu and stupidity, quite synonymous!

Anyway, Ibo's chest beating and nuisance has made every Yoruba to become wiser as you've seen in the last LG chairman election. Those aforementioned 2 Ibos will be the last Ibos in any of SW government. You can carry your 2x2 shops and leaders back to your landlocked redmud region!

zenmaster:

LOL . . .sophistication
Again, stop confusing LG elections with house-of-reps elections

zenmaster:

you are confusing Lagos LG elections with Lagos-House-of-Reps election

Diademk07:


Lmao.. As if your brothers didn't contest in the last LG elections..

Like I already stated, take your leaders back to your landlocked redmud region 'cos we don't need noisy nuisance in the SW.

zenmaster:

If Chima already had the title of "Eze" (king) while in Bini Kingdom, then we need to investigate which part of Bini kingdom that Chima ruled over

I am a Yoruba by birth (born in Akure, western region) and Igbo by heritage. As a native Onitsha Igbo, I trace my ancestry to Eze Chima, a prince who rebelled against the Benin royal dynasty and emigrated from the kingdom. Other Igbos that trace their lineage to Eze Chima include Onicha-Ukwu, Onicha-Olona, Onicha-Ugbo, Obior, Issele-Ukwu, Issele-Mkpima, Issele-Azagba, Ezi, Abeh and Obamkpa.

Sanchez01:

You don't seem to get it; Chima never ruled. He was only aggrieved over some conspiracies in the ancient Bini Kingdom. Sadly, he was never crowned as he left in the company of some persons to birth the present day Onitsha. It is safe to note that he didn't cross the Niger without the help of the Igala people before arriving at Onitsha.

Sanchez01:

The word 'Obi' is a perverted word 'Oba', which is the term Yorubas use in reference to their kings. There are several theories about the name 'Onitsha', but one of them is 'Orisha', a Yoruba word meaning 'god' or 'demi-god' or 'deity'.

zenmaster:

This kind of rumor mongering makes you happy


Obi is not a perverted word for Oba.

Come down to Imo/Abia and the word Obi means the house where the father of a polygamous family lives, usually alone.

Obdk:
everybody come from benin. but benin no get population.....

Osaze007:
yes onitsha belongs to the benin people im happy others are taking note

Sanchez01:

The history of Onitsha is said to have begun with the migration of its people from the Benin Empire towards the end of early part of the 16th century as a result of a 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 Oba Esigie (1404-1550), following the slighting of their shrine, Udo, by the Oba. According to the legend, it was customary for newly installed Oba to pay homage to all important shrines in the Benin Kingdom by slaughtering a cow in the shrines enclave. But Oba Esigie is said to have refused to do this at the Onitsha people’s Udo-Shrine, hence the quarrel and the migration down towards the River Niger area and across it.

Ukpabi disagrees with the Oba Esigie angle and posits that the misunderstanding and migration was rather as a result of “a fight over a farmland. These other people fighting over farmland with the others and interest started coming. And because of interest, bitterness ensued and the two brothers decided to go their separate ways. One said, no, ‘I will now leave you, I’m going to Ado N’Idu.’ ‘Ado’ means border. ‘I will leave you and go and settle down on my own. I’m no longer going to be with you.’ That’s the issue. So, the two brothers had to separate.”

small benin wil fight all d way to onitsha cross river Niger to conquer residents...


abeg tell us another story....

they claim Onitsha monarch dress like benin monarch.. but they wont tell u its the same whites who buy slaves from them supply the wears. they will likely be similar...
u can't rule out culture sharing...

non of our ancient Nnewi story mentioned benin kingdom. dont forget Nnewi is 20 mins from Onitsha...

Sanchez01:

Are you just being funny or something? Did you say 'small Benin' just so you could exalt the then Onitsha

We are talking about an event that dates back to the 16th century and the then Bini kingdom was far ahead, civilization-wise. It is no brainer how they conquered territories easily.

Besides, you don't view history over walking or driving distance. The question you should have asked is; which is older between Onitsha and Nnewi? That way, it would be easier to figure or note when each came into existence and how it did. Nnewi's history might not have the record of Onitsha probably because the 16th century birthing of Onitsha far precedes the existence of Nnewi.

About the crossing of the river... Well, I think the piece below suffices.

Lagos will forever remain Igbo-bini land, and there’s nothing you come gears can do about it.
You better stick with your open defecation brown roof enclaves, namely:

Ekiti
Ogun
Oyo
Osun

Any attempt to annex lagos (bini-Igbo land) and Ondo (ijaw land) will be met with serious resistance. We will give you cone heads Fagba treatment

What a bunch of delusions and ignorant in one post. Well, you sure reason like someone out of place, more like someone whose sanity is nowhere in sight, out of sight, and not in sight for usage nor what's realistically obtainable.

I am sorry, it is what it is, showing up out of the blue and conjuring up your imaginary beliefs won't change a thing.

This reminds me of ' Sound like a loser on the loose. :

The west and edo owns the whole of ibo land especially anambra, they are not indigenous to ibo people. Now, take that to the bank.

NairaHercules:


Lol ediat.

You have no proof of that but we all have proof that all yeruba land is owned by the bini.

Odudufraud was a bini prince that founded the whole yeruba tribe.

You people are children of binis

Heediats!
