Mumu!

How do those rubbish you put up there serve as evidence that igbos influenced Edos?

One of the greatest igboman ever known Nnamdi Azikwe wrote his biography and traced his ancestry to the benin kingdom.

If not for the white men that came to teach igbos how to organize and govern themselves, you guys weren't different from gorillas and chimpanzees roaming the bush.

A tribe without organization isnt capable of influencing another tribe.

Should i give you an example of Benin influence on igbos?
Do you know Obi of Onitsha?

His ancestors are from the Great Benin Kingdom . His royal apparel and his staff are from Benin kingdom.

Pls do not bring Igboid/Edoid sub groups in Delta state into this.

Those tribes have rejected your land grabbing antics openly on several occasions.
They are not igbo. Your five landlocked states is what you should brag with.

Edo state as a whole is about 3 of those your southeastern states combined.

Zik was playing politics with you Edoids.
It's impossible for a Bini person to be named Eze Chima in 1770s, use your brain.
Moreover even in Edo state, we still have Igboid speakers till today.
The Obi of Onitsha who is the custodian of Onitsha culture had since come out to proclaim that Onitsha were ancient Igbos who were on reverse migration from Ife, had a brief stop at Bini before returning to Igboland.
Bini is too small to influence Ndiigbo.
There is nothing sophisticated about a bunch of people bowing down to a fat Oba who they are probably more intelligent than.
Ndiigbo are too wise for such tomfoolery. We evolved s much more superior Democracy where everyone opinion matters and is weighed upon in community square before a decision that affects everyone was taken.

If you think you are superior because your ancestors allowed a fat man dictate for them, then the joke is on you.
Bini never evolved a superior civilization than Ndiigbo. Igbo-ukwu arts are much more superior to whatever Bini had to offer.
Awka blacksmiths were much more advanced than Binis ever had. Bini land hard no pre colonial cloth making centres, Ndiigbo had many with Akwete being the most famous.
When faced with a superior civilization like the British, the Igbos put up much more robust and sophisticated military resistance as shown in Anglo-Aro war, than the weak Binis who lived on hype but was ransacked by the British in a matter of 48hrs.

Have you seen actual documented pictures of these pieces when they were taken and the pitiable state they were in?
Some of them were covered in thick coats of dust and blood from human, animal and chicken sacrifices/offerings - and I'm not talking just about the ancient Bini kingdom. Only a few of the decorative/ornamental pieces were relatively clean and well kept.

Judging from the way they were used back in the day, most of them only lasted because they were made from iron and bronze cast and even at that, some didn't still survive in the hands of the locals.
Even the famous ivory face/mask pendant that was used as the FESTAC '77 icon was mostly in tatters and another fake copy had to be made.
That original is in the Met Museum, New York and it has not deteriorated further since it has been there because it is well taken care of.

Dude, I am an artist and work in the art sector, I am not just talking out of turn!

you are lost man, see if it's gonna be enough you can as well pack their shit and eat.

You're actually the ignorant idiat in this space,
How many history/art museums of average global standard(with the required tools, trained staff and facilities) does your country have?
Instead of facing your shitty reality you are here being stupidly obtuse in public!!

See you sounding like you are full of pride and patriotism, but if dem give you ordinary Gabon visa now you'll start celebrating and throwing parties!!!

sinkhole:
and the punctuation is purely Yoruba too and it means, exactly in Yoruba ROOSTER not hen or chicken but rooster (a male chicken), just as the returned sculpture shows

You are the better man, I don't think I would have handled this as well as you have.

Akuko=Rooster

Ọkhọkhọ=Sculptor=Rooster

Okuko= Chicken/Story

You con dey say you see similarity btw sculptor rooster with chicken/story when there's a clearly visible option.

You handled that well bro, and maybe na because say na 4:58am you comment, make e no be like say na you dey wake with fight.

All these things you put up there coming from your potopoto brain.

Igbos had no civilization.

You were all in the bush when the whiteman came .
No form of intelligence, no organization. Just look back at history. Wherever you find greatness, you find organized leadership.

From Ancient Egypt to Ghana, India, Chinese, Germany, British, Portuguese, Spanish, Romans etc

They all had leaders that dictate how the people live their lives.

Igbos didn't have because you were unintelligent and primitive.

It was a yoruba man Ajayi Crowther that translated the English bible to Igbo so your ancestors can have some form of intelligence.

When the white came, they met a civilized Benin empire that was compared to what is obtainable in the Western world as at that time.
If not for colonialism, you will be roaming in the bush by now.

Lol!
Igbos had organized democracy, we were never without leaders. Power was decentralized between title holders, chief priests and priestesses of important deities,women leaders, Leaders of different age groups, market leaders and then the general assembly of the people.
We were that organized and it was much better than a fat and probably intellectually challenged Oba dictating for everyone else.

The evidence of superiority of a people organization lies in their productivity.
Igbo arts (Igbo ukwu) were 1 million times better than Edo arts. Igbo blacksmiths (The Awka blacksmiths) where 1 trillion times better than Bini ones. In other words, we were and remain technologically more advanced than Binis.
What's more, Igbos evolved a traditional cloth weaving centres with Akwete in Abia State as the most famous of them all, Bini had not a single one. I bet you were all wearing plant leaves before encounter with the Portuguese who you shamelessly collected weapons from, with which you used to terrorize neighbouring groups and sold to them to the Portuguese in exchange for coins and other materials which you melted to produce your bronze works, as Bini had no traditional iron ore minning sites, like we had in Lejja in Igboland.

Igbos adapted and modified a writing style called Nsibidi before the whites came, your backward Bini had non.

Ajayi crowther never wrote any Igbo Bible, how can he do so when he couldn't speak Igbo?
Igbo missionaries of Sierra Leone origin wrote the first Igbo Bible, Ajayi crowther was the head of the church delegation to Nigeria so naturally supervised the work. Quit being retarded.
Google about Simon Jonas! He was an Igbo slave of Sierra Leone origin who did most of the work in Igbo Bible production.

Bini empire conquered nada! How can you claim to conquer when even in your Edo State, the superiority of Igbo civilization reigns supreme as groups like Igbanke, Owariuzo, etc, all speak an Igboid language?
Look around you how many so called Bini decendants who dumped Bini language for a superior Igbo language and culture.

Is there any better prove of cultural superiority than language imposition? I mean the sign of British dominance is seen in English language universality in today World, the Portuguese dominance of the word can be seen in Brazil, Angola and Mozambique.
Spanish dominance can be seen in South America and Equitorial Guinea.

Igbo superiority can be seen right in Edo state!
You were bunch of Savages who couldn't evolve civilization until the Portuguese gave you weapons with which you shamelessly used to terrorize your fellow black neighbors.

When the British came for you, you fell in a matter of days and the stench of your citiy where you used fellow blacks for human sacrifice was exposed.

This people should be arrested looting, stealing and deception of NIGERIAN, if you check well they returned the fake one and not the original one

masseratti:
please go back to school and know that it's the same thing in igala, ebira, Yoruba, Edo and igbo....

Corn was brought by the Europeans.. Its not indigenous to Africa.

Ugbo, Igbo means forest not farm even in igbo... Stop saying things you don't know online.

Corn was brought by europeans are you guys crazy....how and when

It seems only your small igboid brain is able to know and remember this civilization of the igbos!

Ask yourself why the might, ingenuity, intelligence of the great Benin emoure keeps making the news more than a hundred years after the british colonialists formed Nigeria.

Why is there no news of your igboness coming from around the world like the Benin Kingdom ?

You guys were not significant!

Look at the Benin bronzes all over the world! Everyone admits they came from a place of great civilization.


Igbos didn't have anything worthwhile so nobody cares of whatever you did or know.

Igbo ukwu artifacts are in New York museum too, and they are recognized by all academia as the most sophisticated artifact in the entire NIGERIA!

Bini and intelligence in same sentence is a great mismatch. I mean even right in Edo state, Igbo culture and civilization is so superior that we have Igbo speaking clans with Igbo names in your midst. Can you beat that?

You are nothing but an insignificant minority group who had your hay days when you got superior firearms from Portuguese to procure slaves for them from inland.
As soon as the firearms proliferated, the surrounding tribes pushed you shameless savages back, and ever since then, you are still living in nostalgia of your looting, invasion and pillaging days of neighboring groups for filthy Portuguese bronze coins that you melted for your inferior arts.

It use to be in New York before Israel bought it.

Nebes:
Did I read okuko?

That's what was in my mind, dear. But please, let's leave it like that.

First off, maximum respect to the people of the great Benin Empire for having the skill, discipline and ingenuity to produce this incredible and delicately designed work of art nearly two hundred years ago. But what happened to that skillset from long ago? Is there a way to resuscitate it so we can once more enjoy such incredible works including the attendant revenue?

Most importantly, methinks this is not the time to return anything of serious value to any part of Nigeria. As the Economist magazine rightly put it, Nigeria is not just a crime scene, it is an unfolding crime scene. Five years from now (if that long) we shall look for these artefacts and they will be nowhere to be found. Is it not better to leave these beautiful works of art in the care and safe keeping of societies where human beings live, instead of returning them to an unfolding crime scene bedevilled by unabated criminality and corruption? We shall live to rue the day we accepted these art works back into Nigeria. Let the West publicly acknowledge Nigeria's ownership of these artworks. Then let them keep them and continue to display them safely in their museums and schools. Present day Nigeria is not worthy of such beauty of ingenuity.

A mere interaction between Ndiigbo and their Bini ancestors was enough to convince them of the superiority of Igbo language, names and culture, so much that they dumped their Bini ones for Igbo one! Are you not ashamed to admit this?

Igbos are crying to leave NIGERIA, not because an insignificant minority like Edo or indeed any other group is doing better than Ndiigbo in Nigeria.

Have you been to Japan, China, Korea and many nations that got nothing to do with Christianity before? They are not Christians and even Blatantly rejected it but Understood and respect Humanity more than you. Christianity Is not the problem, Spirituality is... all we need is spirituality and not Christianity. Christianity worked for its owners the Europeans just like Buddhism is working for the Chinese to understand their purpose and act by it. but Christianity/Islam doesn't work for Nigeria and Africa coz that's not who we are, that's not our path. We would have been more civilized and respect the Human nature if we took our time to ask our gods the path to civilization just like the Chinese, The Koreans and The Japanese. we are living on a borrowed path no wonder hatred, corruption and evil Is deep In our society even when we claim to be more religious than those who Introduced them to us.

Bros, I don't see how Christianity or religion is the problem here. So before the Europeans came to Africa, our fore fathers were all living peacefully and making all round progress? Have you not read the real story of slave trade? Was the Rwandan genocide caused by Christianity? Christianity has got nothing to do with how Africa (Nigeria) is now.. Though I can't say same of the other religion of piss. The truth is, something has been wrong with us Africans even before the Europeans came, it's just becoming evident and more obvious now.
