IkwerrePikin:


Forget Igbo people, they don’t have sense

Let them tell you how Ikwerre migrated from Igbo land they can not. But this an Oba of Benin speaking and yet the igbos keep behaving like fools because they don’t have respect for their elders over there.

If Igbo don't respect Oba of Benin who will they respect?
Have not seen any Ikwere complaining abt what the monarch said.

Igbo really wanted access to the sea thru PH

Mraphel:

The first Oba of Bini migrated from Ife with d title of Oba.

Why is Eze not used in Onitsha and other places in d East?

Why does Oyo have alafin instead of oba?, Why does ijebuland have awujala instead of Oba?

Ikwerre people does not have access to the sea, ijaw people completely covers them, tell us another lie

Mraphel:

Olu is Yoruba but Olu of warri doesn't mean he's Yoruba

Thank you, So don't dispute the fact that EZE is igbo

IkwerrePikin:


We are not complaining, we are very happy

I know you are happy, You need to stop using all Igbo words ASAP and switch to Bini words cos using Igbo shows you are not proud of your history

900winer:

Was this surppose to get angry or what? Chai! Ikwerrepikin most have been hard on you Pele

Hard on me, ewedu really reduces brain capacity, stop eating this foul thing

Mraphel:

Oba is Yoruba yet Yoruba aren't saying Bini people are Yoruba.

Eze may not necessarily Igbo

Oba is not a Yoruba word and Yoruba chiefs adopted it in the 1930's. The original owner is the Oba of Benin. Omo n'Oba n'Edo.

Have you all change your english names and stop writing and speaking in English??

Mraphel:

Try and prove things you say rather than just rambling.
The name Yoruba is a child of the name yar.iba and they are both new names.
Yoruba is a new tribe, the title Olu predates the name Yoruba.
African revisionism has to stop now.

Prove it ! Also what is wrong with you Igbo ?
The people tell you they are not Igbo and you keep arguing with them ?
You know them more than they know themselves ?

The Ikwere are Benin descendants. The south-east people either you like it or not, the Ikwere are Benin descendants and they don't need your permission to be !
You guys have mental problems trying to debate a people's identity with the people.
The Igbo are an inland sets of tribes, either you like it or not !
Your brothers in the middle belt whom are in their ancestral land, those ones you don't give a fvck about, because they have no resources, no access to the sea. Instead you are trying to force people whom are not Igbo to call themselves Igbo. Just because they have access to the sea and ressources.

Prove your Oba title, also who is arguing anything?.....I agree ikwerres are Bini they don't behave anything like Igbos, So they should make their Bini'ness reflect in their names and language, Don't be Bini and you are callin God "chukwu" and Not "Osa" like all Bini people

I have to remind the southeastern people that a lot of their titles were given to them by the British who were trying to centralise a previously decentralised and disorganized set of tribes called the Igbos.
So from that point on, Igbos should stop claiming they own titles !

Underneath English we have our IGBO language, ikwerre speaks Igbo and English and totally left out their Bini native language, it's really pitiful

Mraphel:

The first Oba of Bini migrated from Ife with d title of Oba.

Why is Eze not used in Onitsha and other places in d East?

Oba of Benin's origin has absolutely nothing to do with Ife.
Benin Oba tradition is way older than Ife.

Oba remains a title in Nri till date, and it doesn't mean King (Eze or Igwe). It is perhaps one of the highest titles in Nri territories, beside that of the Eze or Igwe.

In Benin, Oba doesn't also mean king. That immediately reveals the Benin obas are not spin-offs from Ife.
In Yorubaland, Oba means king, which is probably an idea they got from Benin, thinking it meant king in Bini.

Up until a little over a hundred years ago, Eze Nris bestowed the ofo on every Oba of Benin and Attah of Igala.

The Ooni of Ife never bestowed anything on the Oba of Benin. The Nris would have been aware of such a thing. Thank God Portuguese explorers made it to Benin during the reigns of Oba Ewuare and Oba Ozolua in the 1400s to confirm the pre-eminence of Nri cultural supremacy of Benin.
If those explorers had visited Ife, the Ooni of Ife would have told the Portuguese about the Nri cultural supremacy of Ife at that particular time also.

Never mess with Nri. Again, as I wrote sometime ago, when the Nris speak, the true Igbo territories will be known.

Pay no attention to some cultural journeymen in Igboland at the moment, like the Aguleris and others. When Nri speaks, Nigeria will know.

Well, in case you are unaware, like so many other ignorant africans, Europeans have been in contact with west Africa since the middle ages.
They drew maps and wrote texts showing what they saw.
Also many precolonial pictures survived with original captions showing the titles of the kings in the pictures. No Yoruba was described as Oba in those texts or pictures. The Oba of Benin was.
The title was in a way stolen by the Yoruba in the 1930's.

lol, so people like OBAfemi Awolowo started bearing Oba in 1930? And the same meaning Oba has in the name Obafemi is still same with that of Oba for title of King...

Yoruba people and their stupid stories.
Look, no Oba of Benin ever migrated from ife.
Before ife even existed, Benin Empire was already trading with Europeans.

Following your logics, obama must be a Yoruba, right ?
Look, I gave you facts.
The title Oba is from the Oba of Benin !

Lies we have trashed you guyz and we will do it again, the name Oba have exited among the Yoruba for thousands of years, that is why we have names like Obatala, Obatedo etc Oba means king in Yoruba now what is the meaning of Oba in Edo language?

It is not my fault that you are in denial !

IkwerrePikin:

You will also have to change Ikwerre town names like RumuIgbo, which clearly means IGBO PEOPLE, and RumuIbekwe which clearly means IBEKWE's children.

Or even better, non Igbos from Ikwerreland may have to vacate any Ikwerre town with an Igbo sounding name, as they are clearly Igbo towns.

What you said is the truth that No one wants to say in this present times, The ooni of ife was courageous enough to explore it sometime ago but he was frowned at and discouraged , The Benin obas themselves also like to be quiet about their ancient links with NRI, The throne of attah of igala has been islamized too
