No bro I’m using logic in my reasoning.
Eze just like Oni means ruler. Oni is ruler for Yoruba and Eze is ruler for Igbo.
As for the name Chima, it could be his name was Ehima corrupted to Chima or he adopted an Igbo name to gain acceptance amongst the new tribe he settled with.
There’s no tribalism here since we all agree he was first Edo before migrating.

Even the igbos acknowledged he migrated to their lands from Benin. But there’s no record about his original background from the igbos because they don’t know. They only know from the time he settled in Igbo lands.
So logically he is Edo and changed his name to Chima.

I agree this could also pass....

But u doubting my origins for my claims is a typical example of a Nigerian i hpoe not to be

Bro I'm not doubting your claims.. Just saying its more logical to accept the version of the place where Chima came out from than that of where he migrated to.. The Igbos knowledge of Chima only starts from when he came to their lands, they know nothing about him before that..
So I guess it is more logical to say Chima was 100% Edo and changed his name to Igbo to gain acceptance amongst the people he settled with.

There's nothing typical here, it's just using logic to answer questions where there is no records..
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by BabaRamota1980: 12:32am On Jul 16, 2018

Simple logic would be that Eze Chima was the new name adopted by Edo man that fled Benin and founded Onitsha just like Ekhaladeran name was changed to oduduwa when he settled in Ife.

Oba of benin is sitting in a stool bigger than the itsekere king in size this is purely evidence of who is superior while the onni his sitting at the stool of a chief or subject and far distanced from the oba......in.past times itsekeres where yorubas but benin came and rule them this is how benin ruled down to ife....

Itsikeri were never yoruba. It is an other yoruba lie which claims they are yoruba. Besides the term yoruba is vague and is not backed by history.

History of itsekiris origin says that itsekiris were originally Edos who migrated to Yoruba areas of ilaje.. Over the years offsprings of those migrants decided to come back home which they eventually did and settled in the present locations.
So you cannot call them Yorubas in the past.

Stop been dogmatic and try reasoning out of prejudice and false information ....the truth is that
The original edos werent much in pre history times and they didnt spread thier languages to build up populations like the igbos ,yorubas and hausas....even uptill date benins dont speak thier language offshores or to strangers......
Benins in pre colonial times migrated in few to established places like ,lagos,warri,itsekere etc they only occpied thier royal stool and they ruled the indigenous people there ...just the same way oduduwa migrated and ruled ife is the same way benin migrated to itsekeri and ruled them ....this is why the names didnt sound like an edo name compare to places in edo like eshan,uromi you could read a meaning to this names....
Itsekiris i belueve were yorubas who got influenced by edos ....
For god sake did you know how mny yorubas slaves they took and they are still way more than the entire edos ...they are way more more than us itsekiris is a lost tribe of the yorubas,aniomas are the lost tribe of igbos as a matter of fact benin had records which note they were different from the indigenous people they ruled ...sime of this indigenous people where used by sacrifice by the edos....

Witchery boys.

Edo is the errand boy, slave to Yoruba dynasty and Bini Kingdom.

In old times your fathers were not allow clothing, to distinguish their positions as slaves, sacrificial stock to use in worshipping Omo N'Oba ancestors in Ife.

Today, you are allowed clothing...but you must continue in your fore fathers roles and uphold the greatness of Oranmiyan descendants.

Let the moronic descendants of slaves keeps arguing. We all know who Oduduwa was, those who have two oduduwas( mecca and sky) should keep dancing in Ignorance.

This is how descendants of Oranmiyan treated your ancestors. There are images of Edo men decapitated for slaughter to Oba ancestors in Ife.

Idiot please post the pictures.. pictures of human sacrifice done during the Benin/British war.. we need to see that because we argue that it’s just the white mans propaganda and excuse to invade Benin.
If you cannot post it then all Africans will agree you Yorubas are indeed sellouts and the white mans slaves, and backstabbers who betrayed Africa to the white man.

See mugu. You post picture of several people besides the Oba of Benin with 2 unclad. Those 2 are slaves, Yoruba slaves captured and made to serve in the palace.

The difference between Edo and Yoruba is that while Edo use their own achievements and history to promote and argue about their greatness, Yorubas use Edo achievements as Yoruba own achievements. Don’t you guys have anything from your land worth promoting?? You can’t even praise or uplift your Ooni or Alaffin because they didn’t achieve anything for you. Your can’t promote your wars or conquest because your didn’t fight or conquer anybody. Cities sef una no found any, monuments una no get, renowned African heroes nothing for una.
Is that why you are now desperate to claim Edo?

@gregyboy, I have just finished reading what you wrote, I conclude that you are an Igbo pretending to be Edo. You have exactly the same beliefs as an ethnocentric Igbo. Please stop pretending to be Edo while trying to attack yoruba, be a man about it and declare yourself Igbo. Anyway, you have shown yourself to be a real bastard here. And one thing is sure: you don't have the interest of the Edo nor of history at heart. So stop being a beeetch calling himself Edo and pushing Igbo propaganda all in the name of "being logical" or "not being tribalistic". Your Igboness is obvious to all. What is also obvious is your ambition to see a weaker Edo people decided amongst your Igbo tribe and the yoruba or just devided so as to not pose a threat to Igbo imperial ambitions of swallowing Anioma and other Edo groups.

The average black man is innately ignorant and ffoollish. By the way Onicha of Anambra is not the oldest Onicha town as there is Onicha Olona located in Delta state and their ancient names right from their foundation have always been Igbo including their deities...lol

This is a foolish response from you. I’m talking about a person you are talking about towns to dispute my version of Chima.
If you know much about Eze Chima so educate us. Tell us who he is, where he was born, how he came about. Please don’t start from “he migrated from Benin”, we already know that. Tell us about him before his migration.

The problem with many Nigerians is that of pride. Even if it’s okay to be proud of ur tribe but don’t let the pride blind you for truth and simple logic.

I’m waiting for ur response on Chima.

This your analysis is very funny lol.
How can u call Anioma “lost tribe of igbos” when they are just some few kilometres away from eastern Igbo land? How are they lost when they can see each other?
Do you know history of itsekiris? How they came about? Please go read history of itsekiris you will find out they were never Yorubas. They migrated out of Edo to Yoruba areas of ilaje. Years later descendants of the migrants came back home bringing Yoruba language with them and settled in present itsekiri areas.
What do u mean by the original Edos?

Bro, the language spoken by Itsikeri is not yoruba. It is most certainly much closer to the central Edo language than to oyo or Ife language. It is more like one of the variants of Edo.
