SINCE EZE CHIMA WAS BININ PRINCE, HOW COME HIS NAME WAS NEVER Ovia Osas by AfonjaFula: 8:58am On Jan 13, 2022
Y u all argue so much I do not know.

Look it up here -Igbos are made up of first the aboriginal Igbo and the later immigrants call them Hebrew whatever.

Remember in the myth of Eri where Awka was talked about. Here, the Awka's had been b4 the later.

This later Igbos first sojourned in Igala b4 coming down.
Calling them Igala while they are Igbo instead is what I do not understand of this people that want to here anything else asides the name Igbo, in fact for them let Igbo disappear into tin air; name is choking them lol.
Again remember the changing of Igalas capital from Amagedde to Idah(Igbo).

Dude, Igbo history is complex


Igbo came to our current location through a Northern direction.
But at Kogi, there was a split. One group took the direction of Edo and the other took the direction of Benue and then Cross River.
The groups that took Edo direction gave rise to the Indigenous Igbo tribes in Anioma, those who took Benue direction ended up in Ikwo, Ezza,Izzi. Those who took Cross River direction ended up forming Bende, Arochukwu, Ututu,Ohafia, Abiriba.
Others moved straight from Kogi to Anambra River area and formed the Nri and Nsukka groups.
All these groups now kept pushing down until they all met each other again within Abia and Imo state.
Kept pushing until they reached the coasts (Bonny).
I believe during these journey, many Igbos were left along the way, and they settled with their non Igbo neighbors and lost their Igbo language.

When you listen to Abiriba, Bende history, you hear of origin from Cross River direction, yet the name of their ancestors were all Igbos.
For example the ancestor of Abiriba was called "Nnachioke"
So I came to the conclusion that these ancestors were Igbos on the move who had to pass through non Igbo territories, settled amongst them, acquired wives and friends from there who joined in their journey, until they settled to where they are currently stationed. They also in typical Igbo manner acquired cultural practices of these people.

That's my rational explanation of the Igbo migration and the irreconcilable stories of ancestors who were said to be Edo, Cross River, Igala , etc, yet all bore Igbo names and have their descendants speaking Igbo.

Yes that is it.
Just the the biblical Moses story and they also intermarried with the old aboriginal Igbos, like Awka and AmaIgbo.

Idk where you are from, but at least you agree that there is Aro everywhere including in Ikwere Aro-Ikwere, even in Annang Philip Effiongs village which name was changed after the war, being Aro-Ekpemiong.

There also were existence of Bini Igbo business-relationship as was with Obi Olisa, even with the Nembes as was with King Boy of Brass. However, at least it's of no argument now that this my uncle being myself also an Aro was no Bini Prince.

Funny the Anioma Aro's where the most headstrong that led the Ekumeku, same areas gave birth to sons like Nzeogwu, Achuzie, Osadebe, Equiano etc, but today are not Igbo

Lolz

There is a particular town in Anambra state I know very well that doesn't have let slone harbor any single aro or aro settlement among them. Their history is devoid of anything that has to do with aro.

Secondly Eze Chima was no aro chief. Stop pushing Abia and mbaise history down our throat. It won't work.

You are ignorant if the version of Onicha migration is what you believe. This is really funny....lol. It's shows you know nothing about patterns of migration , traditions and time period of events.

Onicha has absolutely nothing in common with Arochukwu.

Umu Chima remain those Aro's.
Then Aro were like the Levites of the Bible who inherited no lands but pastures. Seeing this, the European called them colonies -I ask, were the Aro's colonizing themselves?

Asides from Aro-Ngwa in Ngwa, there's also UmuAro there. There's Arondizogu in Imo. Up to Izza, Nussuka and up north had most of the Aro settlements but their names lost one was Aro-Ndikechukwu and like the Ohafias, there, Ezza etc did their fights.
