There's Nothing Called Igbo People..... It's An Illusion by Vivianat(f): 11:56am On Mar 10, 2023
Let's break it down
Ngwa Tribe
The Ngwa tribe is the largest tribe in South-eastern Nigeria. It is believed that the word “Ngwa” is coined from the word “Ngwa Ngwa” which means quickly.

The Ngwas can be found in an area that shares boundaries with Owerri and Mbaise on the on the west, Ikot-Ekpene and Abak on the east, Ukwa on the south and Umuahia on the north. These tribe is settled in an area in old Aba. They have a population of about a million people and occupy an area of 2,300km square. The people of Ngwa are majorly farmers. A very few women from this tribe take part in Akwete cloth weaving.

It is believed that the Ngwa people are cannibals.
Although a lot of people are yet to drop such belief, there are no proofs. The Ngwa people feed on “Akpu” (processed cassava) and Ukazi soup. They are predominantly Christians and dress like other Igbo tribes. The women tie two wrappers on blouses while the men tie wrappers and put on regular shirts.


Ohafia Tribe
Ohafia is local government area in Abia state, it is also one of the tribes in this state. The Ohafia people were known to be mighty warriors in pre-colonial days. Their history is one identity that they seem to be very proud of. Up till today, they still have the warrior’s cap and young men from this tribe still wear it around.

They are predominantly farmers and Christians. Their mode of dressing is not so different from that of other Igbo tribes. Their men tie wrappers under a traditionally made top. This attire is incomplete without a cap. Ohafia women tie two wrappers on a blouse.

In the past, Ohafia men were known to be mercenaries of war. However, in more recent times, they farm and trade. Also, processed Cassava and soup is known to be the major food of people from this region.


Abiriba Tribe
Abiriba is one of the tribes in Abia state. It is located in Ohafia local government area. Just like Ohafia tribe, people from Abiriba were known to be warriors in ancient times. Upon arriving in the area which they now occupy, the war skills of this tribe facilitated their settlement.

The Abiribas bear some similarities to non-Igbo tribes in Cross Rivers state. It is believed that they migrated from somewhere in Cross Rivers and then settled in Abia.

People from Abiriba have plantain porridge as a staple and dress like other Igbo tribes. Their men put on shirts on wrappers, while the women wear two wrappers over a blouse.

They are mostly farmers. Also Christianity is the dominant religion of this tribe.

Aro Tribe
The Aros are a tribe that can be found in modern day Arochukwu Local government area. They are a people of mixed origin, dialect and culture. They bear a lot of similarities with a non-Igbo tribe called Ibibio.
Although they speak Igbo language, their dialect is a little difficult to understand by the average Igbo. The Aros have a very rich cultural heritage. They are known for their Ekpe society, a cult group which was very dominant in pre-independence Aro.

Present day Aros are predominantly Christians and farmers. They are known for wearing George and feed on processed cassava and soup that is very rich in fish and assorted bush meats.

Ohuhu Tribe
Ohuhu is a tribe located in present day Umuahia North LGA. It is believed that the people of Ohuhu did not migrate from anywhere. Supporting this claim are the presence of abandoned settlements. However, there is another claim that states that people of Ohuhu migrated from different parts of Imo such as Nekede and Obowo.

The people of Ohuhu do not possess a very rich cultural heritage, they are predominantly traders and Christians.

There you have it! The five tribes in Abia state.

Benin and Igbo Connection
Onitsha, Orisha
By PHILIP EMEAGWALI


Introduction:

I am a Yoruba by birth (born in Akure, western region) and Igbo by heritage. As a native Onitsha Igbo, I trace my ancestry to Eze Chima, a prince who rebelled against the Benin royal dynasty and emigrated from the kingdom. Other Igbos that trace their lineage to Eze Chima include Onicha-Ukwu, Onicha-Olona, Onicha-Ugbo, Obior, Issele-Ukwu, Issele-Mkpima, Issele-Azagba, Ezi, Abeh and Obamkpa.

Native Onitshans speak a dialect of the Igbo language with several Benin/Yoruba words such as "Obi" (of Onitsha) and "Oba" (of Benin). In fact, the word Onitsha (Onicha) is a corruption of the god "Orisha." The bini name for River Niger is Ohinmwin. The Onicha Igbo call it "Orinmili." In a few years, we will have DNA tests that proves (or disproves) the Onitsha-Benin-Yoruba connection.

In fact, a lost dialect of the Yoruba language, called Olukwumu, is spoken in Brazil and in a few Igbo communities named Anioma, Idumu-Ogu, Ubulubu, Ugboba, Ugbodu, and Ukwunzu (M. A. Onwuejeogwu, 1987 Ahiajoku Lecture). The absence Olukwumu in core Yoruba land proves that these communities are the Lost Yoruba Tribe that were fleeing from slave raiders.

Onitsha isn't igbo land
https://www.nairaland.com/3357560/nigerian-govt-there-re-no/4#49549448


GREAT BENIN ORIGIN OF ONITSHA


BENIN ROOT OF ONITSHA
Many of our traditional titles are the same with the Edos/Binis: Onicha titles like “Iyasele” is “Iyasere” in Bini; “Ogene Onira” is “Oliha” in Benin; “Odu Osodi” is “Osodin” in Benin; “Omodi Daike” in Onitsha is “Edaiken” in Benin; “Esagba” in Onitsha is “Esogban” in Benin; the “Isama” titles are the same in both towns amongst many others. The “Obi” of modern Onitsha today is the continuation of the ancient Pharonic dynasty of ancient Kemet or Egypt. Onitsha must retrace the history of her monarchs from his imperial Majesty Obi Achebe back to the Ogiso Kings of Igodomigodo in Edo, then to Egypt; to Pharoah Tutankhamon, Pharoah Amenemhet, Pharoah Amenemes, Pharoah Amenkhuti Ra; Pharoah Khafara, and back to the first dynasty in Egypt. Enough of this tracing of our kingship to just Obi Oreze or his father Ohime(corrupted to “Chima”) by his later descendants. Onicha people came from Benin or Edo land, they were also in Igbo land. I suspect that the Priests of Nri were distantly connected, that is why till date an Nri King upon consecration must bring certain sacrifial items to the Obi of Onicha and must sleep over in Onicha before assuming the Nri throne. Why would the very traditional Nri people who were(and still are) known all over the Igbo land as a holy people and the spiritual custodian of all Igbo lands, accord these rights to Onicha Kings? All these indicate that Onicha and many other tribes had had prior interactions and established certain traditional precedence which had been ongoing before the Onicha town was founded just around 700 hundred years ago. No Nri man would just concede to subject his divine King to some unknown immigrants who just crossed over from the Niger River, if that were to be the case.
