You and who wants to be mad? Lol
And when did taiwo started wearing biafran logo.
Below is your yoruba benin ancestor receiving it in the only physical contact we had.
And una go still receive am again when the might of the Igbo nation of more than 30 million gallant people fall on your tiny Benin village again

Bkayyy:

These present day Benin inhabitants are yoruba people. We had contact with the children of Idu (the Esans and few of old igodomigodo)

Izupoi3:



nawah ooo , you people can't reason again because of politics, igbos came to the region of bini and igala and dominated it between 12 th and 25th century. it was during the 16th and 17th centuries when the nothners came with their fulanization agenda that the igbos trace back east word

Etinosa1234:


No one needs u... The thread only talked abt the origin of Onitsha... Not whether Benin can survive without Igbos...stop giving ur self high hopes

Ngorbungor:


Origin of Onitsha? you people are thieves, so after your people lost trying to calm Lagos, your attention have now move to Onitsha, it will never work, tomorrow you will be calming PH, Uyo and Calabar.... you people have big eye oooo..

Etinosa1234:


Lol... He don lose argument he's shifting goalposts... Typical Igbo strategy ...how many times did Ojukwu change capital

Nsukka, umuahia port Harcourt awka

Ngorbungor:


And how many hours Ojukwu use to budoz Benin?

Etrusen:




I remember that those virgin were slaves from ibo extract

Etinosa1234:

I can imagine how u'll be posting this... With foam coming out of ur mouth

Take this link and go to sleep

Etinosa1234:


I knew you will say something like this... The expert in shifting goalposts...

Now Lemme educate u..

Firstly... Benin on its own doesn't have a standing army... So can u explain how do u expect it to fend off invaders

Secondly As at when ur forefathers strolled in months before their untimely death, the Midwest soldiers were undecided on who to join
The Midwest igbo joined Biafra ... So when Biafra strolled in , there was little or no resistance from any one in Benin...

I understand ur plight tho,... That was the only vIctOry outside the shores of Igbo land that's why u cherish it so much...

So remind me, what happened on August 20-21 1967

Ngorbungor:


Hahahahah, they wish to be us, they like associating with progress, with success because we ahead, we are progressing.

but honestly, if you have one third of our gene in you, we will know, at least, benin would have made progress, expanded to new frontiers, bini people would have developed more cities and towns but the reverse is the case, Benin is stagnant, no progress since 18 century, nothing is added nothing is removed, still same. truthfully there is nothing connecting us.

Etinosa1234:
So the only battle that Biafra won outside the shores of Igbo was when they strolled into Benin with little resistance...

No wonder they cherish it cos they couldn't face heavy opposition

IDENNAA:


Even if you decided to fight the Biafran soldiers you would be decimated. You think this is knives and koboko? Of course , Anioma were gonna join their kins. This is the region with Dennis Osadebe, Achuzia, Nzeogwu , Ben Gbulie etc. You thought they were gonna join Bini ? Smh


When we tell you Bini aggressors to tone it down you thought we were bring deluded. You are too little with nothing to fight with. Even Afemai and the Esans who look like the Igbo won't join you.

IDENNAA:


They fought the British and Nigeria for 30 months! Think about that for a minute....you thought it was the Nigerian soldiers we were fighting. Fire for fire we killed more Nigerian soldiers but of course the starvation dealt the biggest blow.

Etinosa1234:


Lol... Starvation is part of tactics,.. in war, u use all the alternative u have so spare me that crap of starving...

If u don't know, France also helped Biafra... Stopped playing victim of the whole world left u...

Go and check the belligerents of the war and stop saying the whole world against us....

Etinosa1234:

Lol... Afemai and esans won't join ?

But they'll join Igbos?... Why didn't dey join as when Biafra was created...

Firstly how does esan look like Igbo... Just refer me to one historical record..

Its like this dumbness is normal in Igbos

Typical chest beating as usual, the same Ojukwu made when he said the Nigeria army won't get an inch of his army

The story cannot be completed again

Etinosa1234:
Obviously my work here is done... They are tryna talka abt civil war as they've lost ability in the previous ones, but I'm not ready for that now...

IDENNAA:
And , for future reference, royalty is something you adore not fear.
The British adore and respect the queen but the Bini are scared of their Oba....a common human ! I lived at Ohoro road for 5yrs and my family owned business at Omo street dealing in cigarettes. I know the Oba square very well. The Bini are cool but scared of their Oba and to me that's not healthy

Ngorbungor:


Come here!! where are you running to?

you must finish what you started

Etinosa1234:

I dey busy... But we nor dey quarrel... U still be my real g

Just google the oldest tribe in Nigeria

ONITSHA PEOPLE OWN WAT WE NOW CALL BENIN, BEFORE THE OBA INVADED FROM ILEIFE.


IN THEIR TIME, IT WAS CALLED IDU.



YES THE PEOPLE OF ONITSHA ARE A MIXTURE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT INHABBIT IDU.



I BELIEVE THE WORD ONITSHA INCORPORATE THE WORD ESAN, AS MANY OF THE SETTLERS WHO RAN FROM IDU WERE THE ESAN.


IN OTHER WORDS, SOME OF ITS EARLY FOUNDERS WERE IGBO AND ESAN.


THE WORD ONITSHA MAY BE A CORRUPTION OF THE WORD ONO ESAN.

Yujin:
It's so funny how some people wish to perpetuate this Benin origin for a lot of communities in Anioma.

Donarozzi:


The whole of Anioma is Igboland. Some Anioma indigenes work so hard to disprove their Igboness, and such attitudes are usually a result of the social and psychological impact of the Benin kingdom as well as the African man's tendency to value a foreign phenomenon against his own indigenous phenomenon. Certainly, we know that Edo and other people migrated into Anioma and became indigenes, but their numbers are insignificant compared to the Igbo indigenes. We may portion Anioma into three Igbo cultural areas: Enuani, Ukwuani, and Ika. And to put it to statistical perspective, we may find out that Enuani is 96% Igbo, Ukwuani 97% Igbo, and Ika 80% Igbo. Specifically on Ika: the eastern part of Ika is about 90% Igbo origin while the western part of Ika is about 70% Igbo origin. That is how Ika area averages out to 80% Igbo. Tallying the numbers together, we may say that Anioma is 91% Igbo by ancestry. Generally, for the seven Igbo states, this is the estimate in terms of the ancestry of the indigenes:

Abia: 95% Igbo
Anambra: 96% Igbo
Anioma: 91% Igbo
Ebonyi: 96% Igbo
Enugu: 95% Igbo
Imo: 98% Igbo
Rivers: 94% Igbo (that is, Igbo areas of the state)

Onitsha means the back of my homestead in Igbo

Etrusen:




have been following your talk for long but I just refuse to reply because I feel that

Igbo's have nothing to say when it come to history

Igbo's from time past are just nothing when opening the pages of raw African history.


anyway I want you to answer this question

where is the oldest Igbo kingdom located ?

who was it first king ?

how far did the kingdom spread ?
