Which ijaw King is rated first class in ondo state? Even the so called deputy would rather identify himself as a Yoruba man so stop living in your self deviced trance. And just so you know, the ilajes and ikales will always keep you in check should in case you step beyond your bounds.

Why can't you guys just stay in your Bayelsa...you think Edos will give you that, when you have already exposed your sinister ploy of land grabbing in another man's land?

NwaAmaikpe:



I pity this people.

The main reason I pity them is that their brother GEJ was President for over 5years and all he did was drink gin and serve the North.

ferdybillion:

Odianose13:


U guys cannot settle everywhere. It's gonna be a privileged for u to be offered autonomy in Edo State and not a right. So don't talk like u guys fought a war with Rivers and Ondo and won. Can Benins come to Warri and claim right to autonomy? No.


We no fit stop una? Hahahahahah. If una complicate issues, na shout una go just dey shout. Even king, we go remove for una hand. As u dey form Samurai.....

tsdarkside:


exactly...move back to the east......tell your delta igbo people to move...we no want anything to do with biafra......

Odianose13:


If with all the happenings in Benin, you do not know that the city has a security issue, then you are either not informed or misinformed.

You must have your brains beneath your feet for quoting me in such manner. I'm sure you'll not utter such rubbish if you see me in person. Oyemu!

GodDeyCraze:


Move to where?

tsdarkside:


east....we are south,they are east to the cameroonian border....

we are not the same people with igbos.....

they are more related to the people of south cameroon...

OyinO:
END THE DOMESTIC COLONISATION!!!
Give them a LGA to call their own.

tsdarkside:

There is a lot of misinformation on this thread which I will love to address with fact, because all this gibberish the op wrote is nonsense


cited E. Alademomi Kenyo, who in his book, titled ‘The Origin and Title of Yoruba Rulers’ (N.D) Page 3, stated: ‘Up till time, the Oba (in Benin) and his people were pure Yoruba and did not understand the language of the aborigines, who usually salute themselves and the new people (the Bini) Adoo, Dolo.’ It is an indisputable fact that it is only the Ijaws that greet Adoo and Dolo in Nigeria.
“here is a bini mans Dr J .U. Egharevba’s book titled, “The Short History of Benin’ (1968) to back our claims, we equally referred to Prof. Alan Ryder, a British national and former professor of history at University of Ibadan in his book, ‘Benin and the Europeans 1485-1897,’ Page 27, which states inter alia, ‘Whichever of the slave rivers the Portuguese frequented, the people they first met and traded with, would have belonged to Ijo (Ijaw) tribe, which at that time dominated the coastal belt of the swamp forest, extending inland to a depth of 30-40miles in the region.



IT IS CLEAR THAT UGHOTON WAS THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN IJAW AND BINI:
"In the meantime he (Consul James Phillips) sent a message forward to the Oba, Benin's king, that his present mission was to discuss trade and peace and demanding admission to the territory in defiance of Benin law explicitly forbidding his entry. Unfortunately for Phillips, some Itsekiri trading chiefs sent a message to the Benin king that 'the white man is bringing war'.
On receiving the news the Benin king quickly summoned the city's high-ranking nobles for an emergency meeting, and during the discussions the Iyase, the commander in chief of the Benin Army argued that the British were planning a surprise attack and must be defeated. The Benin king however argued that the British should be allowed to enter the city so that it can be ascertained whether or not the visit was a friendly one. The Iyase ignored the king's views, and ordered the formation of a strike force that was commanded by the Ologbosere, a senior army commander, which was sent to Ughoton to destroy the invaders.
On 4 January 1897, the Benin strike force composed mainly of border guards and servants of some chiefs caught Phillips' column totally unprepared at Ugbine village near Ughoton. Since Phillips was not expecting any opposition and was unaware that his operation was being perceived with alarm in Benin, the contingent's only weapons, consisting of the officers' pistols, were locked up in the head packs of the African porters.[7] Only two British officers survived the annihilation of Phillips' expedition,[8] which became known as the 'Benin Massacre'."
NB: Please note very carefully that the Iyase (the Commander In Chief of the Bini Army) did not send his soldiers to Gelegelegbene or any other Ijaw Community but to Ughoton which is precisely a Bini Community and Ughoton till this day is the boundary between Ijaw and Bini which tells you that they know their boundary.



PEOPLE AND DEMOGRAPHY
The main ethnic groups in Edo State are: Edos, Afemais, Esans, Owans and Akoko Edos. Virtually all the groups traced their origin to Benin City hence the dialects of the groups vary with their distance from Benin City. The Bini speaking people who occupy seven out of the 18 Local Government Areas of the state constitute 57.54% while others Esan (17.14%) Afemai compirising of Etsako (12.19%), Owan (7.43%), and Akoko Edo (5.70%). However, the Igbira speaking communities exist in Akoko Edo as well as Urhobos, Ijaws, Itsekiris communities in Ovia North East and South West Local Government Areas especially in the borderlands. Also, Ika speaking communities exist in Igbanke in Orhionmwon LGA.
