Calm down. I am not Bini. Think about my point. Use logic. The Ontisha-Bini connection is a fact. If you don't know, go and ask your elders.
Yes, the Onitsha-Benin logic is a fact. This is why all lovers of history must support the reclamation of Onitsha land to the great Benin Kingdom. Onitsha migrated from Benin! Eze Chima is a fraudulent name given to our Benin Prince by the Igbo people during the old eastern region. His real name was Ize Ikimen not the fake Igbo name Eze Chima. All nairalnders take note.

Meanwhile, celebration is ongoing in the Oba’s palace Great Benin. Osalogbua must be praised!

Shut up your mouth you Igbo unity beggar. Duncan Wene Okechukwu is not his real name. His real name is Duncan Osawene Osawekwu. The Igbos changed his true Benin name during the old eastern region.

For Ameachi his name is Amaegbovo. Take note.

Their importance is in the fact that many Biafrans are obsessed about the Atlantic Ocean and only Ikweres provide them that path.

So ikwere people that are not up to 1 million in population is measuring dick with Igbo of about 40 to 50 million people,see eh,I am in anambra state,Onitsha precisely,we don't even know whether you people exist or not.
Then why are your brothers going there to disturb them if you dont know that they exist? The fact that You igbo share border with those people and over the years there was a cultural overlap does not make those Ikwere people Igbo. They are telling you their Origin and no where in their history that their origin was traced to Igbo. How comes when you people live and share border with other tribes you people will create a history that trace those tribes origin to Igbo? for example in Kogi because you share order with Igala people you people created a history that Igala came from IGBO from one Eri or Nri whatever but in Igala history their Origin is very clear they came from APA taraba state together with Idomas, the only mention of igbo in their history is that they used Igbos for Slavery. Why is that? Because of how you people behave i have done a thorough research on you people i know you people very well stop creating history for others , go to them and know their origin not the one you created. I cant wait for you people to achieve your Biafra. We the next generation of northern Nigeria leaders will quickly give you your Biafra so that you go and behavior this way with yourselves.

For public information, Ikwerre are not Igbo, they are the descendants of Iwhuruosa a Bini slave who escaped his captors via the tributaries of River Niger and landed in ancient Igboland. They later would modify the name to 'Iwhuruoha' as the Igbos they met would pronounce the name of their progenitor. Later they came to be known as Ikwerre and I will tell you how.

In Igbo the word Ikwerre means 'I agree/accept', the Igbo gave them that name because when they were looking for land to settle after escaping from Bini, anywhere the Igbo gave them to settle, they thank their Igbo hosts by saying 'I kwerre', a corruption of the phrase the phrase 'Ayi kwerre' which means 'We agree/accept' in Igbo.

That's the true hidden story of how Ndi Ikwerre came to be where they are today. Go and ask any honest old man around Imo/river axis. I'm from that area myself, they'll tell you- Ndi Ikwerre abughi Ndigbo, ha biara-abia. They are not Igbos, they are escapee slaves from ancient Bini kingdom.

They are just not keen in making their Bini heritage public because it undermines them as descendants of Bini slaves but prefer to align with Igbo identity only when it suits them because of the majority status that Ndigbo enjoy.

Oga na you dey talk about about igbos being from Isreal. Stop being sarcastic. How come no ikweres bears Bini names? Please all you wrote doesn't prove shit.. Akalaka means destiny in ibo. Ikwere means do you agree in ibo, please what does it mean in Bini?


Oga, why don’t you leave Ikwerre people alone. You are one of those escalating this issue. It’s really embarrassing for the Igbos. Nnamdi Kanu was trying to debate this week’s ago...pls leave ikwerre people alone.

The idea of claiming or coercing people into your ethnicity is very wrong. You guys are the ones making mockery of Igbos.

Ikwerres are not the only group distancing themselves, Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh denied Igbos during his TEDx presentation, JJ Okocha affirmed that he is Igbo. I had a room mate whose middle and last names were Igbos. He was from Delta state, he told he wasn’t Igbo. We should stop bothering about this.

I can never trust Rotimi Amaechi or any Ikwerre man who claims to be Igbo. It’s all politics. They’d deny you once they’ve finished riding on your back to achieve their objectives. Open your eyes.
Despite similarities in languages, names, dressing and other aspects of culture, if someone denies any link with you....do one thing, you don’t beg or force relationship.

Let this argument end. Ikwerres are not Igbos. South East Igbos should stop giving relevance to these people. They make the average Igbo man who don’t know about them look like a fool. Let this stop. Stop coercing or even attempting to convince them.
Mister know it all Nnamdi Kanu should mind his business.

Since Wike came out to deny being an Igbo man, has Amaechi or any Ikwerre man come out to clear the air or affirm their Igbo identity?? What does that tell you?

Yes, Onitsha people will soon reconnect to their Benin heritage. The Obi of Onitsha will drop his Obi Agbogidi title to Enogie Agbonghidi of Onitshakimen.

Celebrations currently ongoing in the Oba palace of great Benin! All Benin sons with fake monikers must henceforth quit being cowards. We shall now use our real monikers in nairaland to declare the brotherhood of Great Benin with Onitsha and other Bini lands stolen by the Igbos.

Great news!
Ikwerres are a unique people. Good for them
Please end this nonsensical debate. Ikwerres are of no use or importance to Igbos. Let them be! They can even originate from Ife, does not change anything.

Be careful of lying to your children about your origin, it will do more harm than good. You can choose to have a seperate identity, but I would advise you not to tell this unverified story to your children, it will affect your children negatively. Try and trace your root, only then would you realize that your life was a lie. You need to accept your past in order to progress into the future.

[s]The truth is some Igbos (like the original people of Onitsha e.g. Azikwe) are descendants of Bini.

This is where the confusion is. The Igbos and Bini are not ready to acknowledge their connection.[/s]

Oga, we are not from any crappy bini empire.

We trace our roots to EZE CHIMA does that name sound bini to you?

Eze chima was a bini prince from arochukwu that was forced to flee because he was not of bini origin.

https://www.nairaland.com/4485265/eze-chima-aro-native-doctor

No real onitshan is bini. Azikiwe never said he was bini!

Please, do not come and start spreading any false unverifiable rumour about any onitsha-bini link. This thread is about ikwerre-bini link.
