michlins:Nsukka people are not from Igala . Igala people invaded Nsukka . I seriously wonder why a group of people would invade their fellow tribesmen . Nnewi are not Benin or Yoruba either . Stop peddling lies . I'm even disappointed to learn that you're from Nsukka . Apparently , you don't know what's going on . 7 Likes 1 Share |

It’s Yoruba. You can tell that the language transcends. Yoruba, then Esan... Bini is a mixture of Yoruba royalty and Esan aborigines. This Benin and some Yoruba groups spread into the south. Especially Eastern Yoruba groups whose accents are similar to what has come out of Niger-Delta. Igala is a long separated Yoruba group. They mixed with Benin a lot to form some groups in the Niger Delta and East. Igala spread from Edo, to the East and into the middle belt. Also, some groups from Cameroon also mixed with these groups to form most of the East. With pockets of pure Yoruba groups scattered and mixed too. Yoruba though is the most homogenous of Southern and middlebelt Groups. The Yoruba sounding words in Igbo language definitely came from Igala and Ancient Bini. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Neville660:Yoruba DNA is oldest. It has been proven scientifically. Followed by Esan... then Igbo. So, that tells you that those two groups birthed a lot of tribes, which are probably related villages in Southern Nigeria. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Sammy07:Yes Sir. And it is noteworthy to see good thread of this magnitude with juxtaposition of which group is the oldest in Nigeria. Furthermore, Yoruba ethnic group is not the oldest in Nigeria or West Africa with glaring evidence of the Calvaria found in a burial site at Iwo Eleru. The Calvaria found does not not support Yoruba ethnic group because the Radiocarbon analysis of the charcoal found in the immediate vicinity of the burial was discovered to in an age estimated to be 11,200±200BP (~13ka calibrated). While the Yoruba Calendar span from 3rd of the following year . According to the Niyi Alaran, who helped documented the oral account, mentioned that tje Gregorian year 2020 AD is the 10,062 year of Yoruba's knowledge of Calendar period. Obviously, the discovered bone does not match up with Yoruba's Calvaria. More information on the Iwo Eleru bones, can be found on Google with screaming headline as , ‘ The Later Stone Age Calvaria from Iwo Eleru,Nigeria: Morphology.' 1 Like |

bigfrancis21: You stated that there are people who migrated into Igbo land from other places for various reasons in the past, why then the hostility towards their descendants whenever they tell the history of their forefathers. These people are not saying they are not Igbos but the mere fact that they mention that their forebears originally came from somewhere else elicits resentment and hate from those who want to create the falsehood and fallacy of pure Igbo race akin to Nazi aryan race. USA is celebrated as a nation of migrants who came together to build the world's greatest nation. America celebrates the history of their diverse people, the fact that the Irish Americans identify with their Irish root and celebrate st. Patrick's day doesn't make them less Americans, same as Jewish and other Americans. The history of a place is greatly enhanced and more exciting by the history of her various constituencies. Benin history is greatly enhanced and exciting because of the various branches that cut across Nigeria and beyond. The interaction with various ethnic groups over centuries greatly enhanced Benin history. The Benin people don't suffer inferiority complex or become uncomfortable when a fellow Benin person traces the origin of their forefathers to Akure or Anioma like the Obasekis. Igbo people must acknowledge, embrace and celebrate your diverse history and stop calling fellow Igbos like yourselves settlers. This is one reason people are not too comfortable with the Biafra agitation. The Benin, Igala and other ethnic branches of Igbo history should be celebrated and shouldn't be seen as a threat to the Biafra master Igbo race project. 3 Likes |

samuk: Totally untrue. Are you aware that just 100 years ago, the Irish, French, Jews etc were not considered ‘white’ in America but only the English people? But today they are all classified as white people? Even North Africans from Egypt, Morocco etc are considered white in America? Irish and French descendants in America know that they are migrants to the land and do not drag the entire America along in some division tirade as some of these migrants in Igboland do. An Ika person of Bini ancestry should not drag the entire Ika along in his division charade. Similar to an Igala migrant in Anambra. My point is, cherish your history but your identity today matters. 3 Likes 1 Share |

bigfrancis21: Who amongst those that initially considered themselves whites in America are native Americans? None. Apart from the native red Indians, everyone else is an immigrant in America. The English are not natives to America, so they can't claim to be more Americans than others, the only reason they appropriated America to themselves in the past was due to the power and influence they had as British empire. Today, the empire is no more and all America immigrants of European descent are considered equal. When the blacks come of age, they will enjoy the same rights and privileges as white Americans. Today, America is a melting pot of all nationalities and only the minority native Americans can claim to be aborigines, no one else. Those that believe that their ancestors are aborigines in Igbo land can stake their claims in their respective villages and towns and also respect the rights of those towns and villages which have different histories of origin. The guy Michlin has simply tell the history of his Nssuka subgroup the way he knows it and none of you that have disagreed with his history have stated that you are from the same town or village, some of you are even from a different state and arguing with the guy about his history. He even challenged you guys to come to the Palace of his traditional ruler for verification. I believe your last point is exactly what these guys tracing their historical pasts are doing, I haven't heard any of them denied being Igbo or their Igbo identity. 2 Likes |
