davidnazee:Anioma is not homogeneous... It's just an umbrella group for "Delta Igbos". Just Igbos and Igboids group West of the Naija. There are different distinct groups with different identity. Places like Asaba, Oshimili, Ibuzo, etc are pure 100% Igbo and their dialect is as easy to understand by any other Igbo group, and this group identifies as Igbo 100%. Then, there is the Ukwuani group, who claim a different identity.... Their language is just a dialect of Igbo, albeit, harder to understand but still very mutually intelligible. Denial can be 50-50. Then, there is the most distant of the whole, IKA (Integrated Kingdom of Agbor)... This is not a homogeneous group itself, that is why it is difficult. Some villages you can tell, are clearly Edoid-Igbo mixed, while some are more Igbo, but trust me, they are the most confused and I think that their dialect is mostly mixed. Go to their Facebook groups, because they come from different origins. Their dialect is not also homogeneous by a long shot. It is just a political identity. What most are looking for is a minority status, they think it gives them an advantage. Also, it's politics. They are forging for their own state, the Anioma state, so, all the clamour for "Subnation-hood", they believe will drive their quest for a separate state. However, trust me, if they step into Benin, what they call them is Igbo as the people they claim can clearly see that their language, culture and dressing is Igbo. 2 Likes |

Etinosa1234:That's why I said they are very diverse. Some villages are clearly Edoid, while some are not. Just go to their Facebook group to see their fights. For instance, Agbor claim they don't speak Ika. Ika itself is an acronym. They get more confused each day. |

secpowell:Understand what I said. In those regions, they used a lot of acronyms. IKA stands for the "Integrated Kingdom of Agbor" but those from Agbor claim although they identify as IKA but their language is Agbor. I am not even making it up. Just like you don't speak "Nigerian", because Nigerian is not a language. Either ways, Ika is an Igboid language in scholarly language classification and/or an Igbo dialect. |

Ekealterego: There are people in Edo who bear Yoruba names, yet they are not Yoruba. My friend from Usen in Edo goes by the name Olarenwaju. A typical Yoruba name. Dele giwa was an Edo man with Yoruba name as well. Can we now say that Edo and Bini are mixed people? The whole idea that Ika and Anioma can not be Igbo because they have people of non Igbo descent in their midst is a fallacy and flawed, because the same can be said of Bini who have people of Igbo(Anioma), Yoruba, Ijaw, Igala in their midst. So what then, there shouldn't be a Bini ethnicity because they have people of diverse origin in their midst? See, Agbor and Ika people married a lot of Bini women in the past as they are neighbors and these women naturally gave their children Edo names which in few generations become surnames. Additionally, Ika and environment were under Bini empire influence and in the past, Obis from these part usually go to Oba Bini palace for confirmation and on their return they take on a Bini name, just like Christians end up with foreign European or biblical names after baptism. Over time, these Bini acquired names survive as surnames for their descendants. Just as many Christians don't know the meaning of foreign European names they bear, so do Ika people who bear these Bini names as surnames don't know their meaning. They are simply vestiges of Bini colonialism on the region and nothing more. Furthermore, few Bini refugees wandered into Ika land and were summarily Igbonized by the aboriginal Igboid Ika people they met on ground. 2 Likes |

Etrusen: 1. Nduka Obaigbena. Nduka Irabor. Jim Ovia, etc. All of them from the Ika/Agbor area with Edoid ancestry. Yeah, Modupe Ozolua is a direct royal descendant of a Bini monarch. 2. Usen in Ovia N/E was founded by Yoruba migrants from Ile-Ife and they greet one another by asking "How is Ife or Uhe?" Usen also has Edoid influences as well. There are Usen indigenes on NL such as wale03 who I remember said in 2020 that the Oba of Benin prevented Usen town from joining their kith-and-kin in the SW via boundary adjustments. NOTE: There are Yoruba-founded towns in Edo State such as Usen and Egbeta. Indigenes of these towns have discussed this on NL in the last 10 years. Cc: Pazienza, most Akoko-Edo towns have people who have Yoruba names with some Yoruba and Edoid/Benin migrant ancestry. However, most of the Akoko-Edos claim Igarra origin (they are of Ebira ancestry). Usen indigenes are of Ile-Ife or Yoruba descent. Usen ancestry also migrated to found the Olukunmi-speaking communities/towns in Delta North (or Aniocha North) of Ugbodu and Eko Efun (or Ukwunzu). 1 Share

hammerDK:NOTE: The red chieftaincy cap was first introduced into the S/East region centuries back by the Igala people who colonised the Nsuka area in Northern Iboland. The red chieftaincy cap is originally not indigenous to the Ibos. It spread to other Ibo areas from Nsuka which has some mixed Igala ancestry. The red chieftain cap is also worn by Yorubas of Kogi State and Kwara States and other Northern ethnic groups like the Ebiras, Igalas, Jukuns, Hausas, etc. 1 Share

Etinosa1234:OK, Ososo... Thanks for the info on Modupe Ozolua's mother. I read in the early 2000s when Modupe (born in 1973) said in a newspaper that she is from Sabongida-Ora and she said her very light skin is probably from the white woman who married into the royal family of Ozolua many centuries ago (via genetic transmission). |

AlphaSoul: An Agbor person bearing Edoid name does not really mean that he is of Edo origin. Unless such Agbor person is from Oza-nogogo, an obvious Edoid people who are part of Agbor but retained their Edoid native language. In the past, Agbor kings acquired names of Bini kings in form of admiration. Many married Bini women too who give their children Edo names. These Edo names have survived today as surnames, that even Ika people don't know the meaning of, because they were never indigenous names and has no root in the Igboid language of the people. On Akoko Edo. Akoko Edo has many distinct Edoid languages and hence seem to have all adopted Yoruba language as lingua franca for easy communication and that had resulted in many of them bearing Yoruba names they don't know the meaning of or has no meaning in their own language. Of course I'm aware there are some indigenous Yoruboid villages at the boundary of Akoko Edo and Akoko Ondo. 1 Like |

pazienza:OK thanks Pazienza. Hello @Jericco1, you are from Agbor. Kindly clarify/shed more light on what was posted above. There's an Igbodo lawyer whose forum post I read over 10 years ago who said he prefered to identify as Ibo because of a bitter experience of rejection in Benin as a result of the invasion of the Mid-West by the rebel troops from the secessionist enclave during the 1967-1970 Nigerian Civil War (which lasted for exactly 2 years 6 months). NOTE: Igbodo is in Ika N/East LGA. I know of a video of Sunday Oliseh posted on NL who denied being Ibo. I need clarity on this above topic from actual Agbor town indigenes or people. I have good friends from the different parts of Anioma from my FGC and uni days in Nigeria decades back. One of them is from Boji Boji Owa in Ika N/East and his name is Ehis. |
