The relationship between Agbor, Ika and Benin is that of conqueror and freedom from conquerors. Agbor and Ika in general are ancient Igbo settlements that existed as old as when Benin was founded as a Kingdom and later as an empire that ruled them at one time or the other but they always matched Bini fire for fire. Chima as the name indicates was an Igbo man in Benin empire which is not disputable. If you understand Ika language then you can listen to this loud declaration.

Bendeco2020:
The fact remain that from Ika/Anioma to Onitsha have the same ancestral link but are still Igbo.

Of all the history origins that I read, the one I believed is that the founder of Anioma and Onitsha are Igbos that traveled to West (Yoruba land) , stayed for long time and later returned.

The name of the founder is Chima (Igbo name) that already confirmed and cleared everything.

Chima is an Igbo name not Benin name.

Am from Umuikem Village, Onitsha

Inside Onitsha, all are not from Chima clan. Igala (Olu people) meaning riverline people are also in Onitsha plus few already existing Igbo people before the arrival of Chima.

My village Umuikem is classified under Ogbe Olu (Riverline people).

Eze Chima is an Igbo man that travelled, probably born outside Igboland but when Idu/Ogodomigodo was destroyed, he returned Eastwards and his offsprings settled and found several Igbo clans (that Benin/Idu/Ogodomigodo Empire) calls theirs.

Truth is, Igbos in Maiduguri can never be Kanuri whenever they return to Igboland, Eze Chima will forever remain Igbo irrespective of his sojourns and exploits with other tribes.

There's no root to know as his name, language and culture already indicates his ethnicity. He is Ndokwa and Ndokwa is Igbo. Some Ndokwa prefer being just Ndokwa, Ukwuani or Ndioshimili but in general all are pure Igbos with ancient history.

Igboland reached Benin so he was a native of wherever he lived. Chima was from Igbo territory under Benin rule at the time . Many Igbos in the East migrated from the West and many in the West migrated from the East but Anioma and Southeast were always occupied by Igbos since thousands of years ago.

Many might find it difficult to comprehend but the reality is that Igboland on the West of River Niger at a time came under Benin rule and were forced to pay tributes to Oba of Benin even though they were clearly distinguishable from the Edo tribes. This made many Igbos migrate from West to East and as far as possible from the Oba's problems. You can read the story of Olaudah Equiano to understand what transpired then.

Says the one who knows everyone's history more than them while meanwhile having no history of his own as his ancestors never built any civilization inside their forest dwellings. Ibo history starts and ends with plagiarizer in chief Chinua Achebe's fictional Things Fall Apart.

He never said it as denial of being ethnic Igbo but the same way Igbos say it. During afa Igbos emphasize on the fact that they are not Igbos because Igbo means something else before it was adopted as a name representing us all.

That is what you're expected to dispute with verifiable historical facts and not trying to make it Yoruba issues.

How can you say you don't have issue with Bini people when someone is telling you that Agbor people,that you ibos have made us to believe are ibos too,are actually rooted in Bini tribe ?

Coward,dispute Op's claims now or you shut up your faecal smelly mouth for ever !

Im just giving Yorubas some tips :p Take back Kwara its even larger than the land you are trying to grab, and besides the people there speak Yoruba already.

They do not eat humans (Refer to Map of Cannibalism).
They do not have OSU caste system.
They are not criminally inclined and do not carry drugs.
They are not migrant traders with apprenticeship.
They built kingdoms and lived in cities not forests.

Anioma are not Ibos. Anthropology, culture and oral history reflects this. Aniomas are a distinct nationality of their own. Anioma is Anioma.
Ibos should let others be. Ibo attachment to anything is de-marketing. Why would anyone want to carry the same passport as Ibos post Nigeria.

Cannibalism never existed in all of Igboland. This information was based on what the riverine people told the Europeans to prevent them from taking over their trade from Igboland. For example Igbos in the West believed Benin was eating people and Igbos in the East believed Ibibio and Ijaw were eating people.

Abagworo thanks for reinforcing the knowledge of Igboland and letting some tribalistic cretins know what Igboland entails.

There's Western Igboland which covers Anioma and Igbanke/Igbo-Akiri and Southern Igboland which covers parts of Bayelsa, Rivers (Ekpeye, Ikwerre, Bonny and Opobo, Ndoki, Obigbo, Ahaoda etc). We still have a fringe Eastern and Northern Igboland that lies in Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Kogi and Benue.

They'll argue all they want but they'll end up saying rubbish because a Chima isn't Benin but Igbo, even in conquest or migration.

Eze Chima was a chief priest born in Aro in present day South East who paid homage to the Oba of Benin (just as others from various parts of the Country and beyond do up till this day).
He was even gifted lands by the Oba.
Eventually, had to exit after an issue with the Oba and Edos, and ultimately settled around where Agbor is.
Just a brief summary.

Igbo land did not and has never reached Benin.

Maybe migrants and settlers such as Eze Chima.

Five of these rulers of Onitsha were direct lineal descendants of Eze Chima (PRINCE OHIME), who led his warrior adventurers when they left Benin to establish the Onitsha city state in about 1748 AD.

One day, the supporters of one of the princes insulted and assaulted Queen Asije, the mother of of the Oba of Benin, who was accused of having trespassed on their farmland. Enraged at this evidence of indiscipline and lawlessness, the Oba ordered his war chief and brother, Gbunwala Asije to apprehend and punish the insurgents. In the attempt to penalize them, Chima (OHIME), the ultimate founder of the Onitsha City-State, a Prince of the blood in his own right, led the recalcitrants against his Uncle, Gbunwala. This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N'Idu, "As the great trek from Benin progressed, some did not have the stout heart of the pioneer-warrior, and decided to settle at different places, known today as Onitsha -Ugbo, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha-Mili, Obior, Issele Ukwu, Ossomari, Aboh, etc.[/b]

In the attempt to penalize them, Chima (OHIME), the ultimate founder of the Onitsha City-State, a Prince of the blood in his own right, led the recalcitrants against his Uncle, Gbunwala. This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N'Idu, "As the great trek from Benin progressed, some did not have the stout heart of the pioneer-warrior, and decided to settle at different places, known today as Onitsha -Ugbo, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha-Mili, Obior, Issele Ukwu, Ossomari, Aboh, etc.
