You lie. Hear it from the Obi himself.
The people of Onitsha are from the Benin Empire (Edo Kingdom).

Is that what the Obi of Onicha said in this interview ? You are unbelievable. I am sure you dont understand Igbo but suddenly you want to translate Igbo to Ndigbo

No , I added India, Indonesia, and Malaysia prisons where your kinsmen are on death penalty for doing drugs.


Go back to history, we the Edos are greater than you igbos. Its a fact. The records are there.


Its the British that gave you red caps if not, your igwe will be in the bush roaming aimlessly.

You hate all the hype we the Edos have been getting.

End of discussion here as i have schooled you and your kinsmen.

Jealous of what exactly,I should be jealous of the people that their ancestors invented Train,electricity,plane etc
Those are the people I should be jealous of,not some black people running around one Oba that couldn’t defend himself and got banished to die in Calabar like a common fugitive

Talk another thing please

Oh! You are envious of the best civilization that West Africa had before the whiteman came grin grin

Envy no go kee you ooo.

Go and check what the whitemen wrote about Edo the first time they came. We were organized. They compared Benin City to Europe as at 14th Century.


But let me ask you..what about your people?

Where were they?

Just roaming aimlessly inside Bush with monkeys.

And once in a while we usually come to raid your villages and kidnap your people and sell to the whiteman as slaves.

I read a report that the word "Igbo" is derived from Igala word for slaves. You guys were nothing but slaves.

You have no point again!

Now is to come and rant and say una too small.

Two years to what?

Need i remind you it was the British that gave you the Kings you now call Eze?

When they came you guys were roaming in the bush and they had to give the sellouts amongst you their red headwarmer to use as your identity.

Now everywhere you go, your chiefs and kings go everywhere with a red headwarmer given to them by the British.

If othet tribes in Nigeria are talking of history, you guys should go and sleep cos you got nothing worthwhile to talk about aside roaming in the bush with monkeys.

We even had your people as our slaves and sold many of you out.

If you need me to tell you your history, i will be glad to spill it here.
Yes you're right Igbos didn't have kings because we believed in egbe belu ugo belu which means representative government where people bring ideas together instead of one person deciding everyone's fate
Igbos are individualistic

So royalty is now you count civilization? What an illitrate!Hahaha

What are we practicing now?

Is exactly what Igbos have always practiced

Which is representative Confederation of communities

Very decentralised government like we have now in Nigeria cheesy

Your oba power is confined to his 18 LGA noise makers

If federal government want they'll will remove him

Igbos were fvcking ahead of thier times


We read and write in Akagu
Did binins read or write in thier local language?

We made the first iron smelting in Nigeria


We made the first bronze works outdating every others


We made pyramids in udi Enugu State


We had dates and times


We circumcised while your people are going about with uncircumcised gbola cheesy grin


Overated people of 18 LGAs grin


And yes it took British 2 years to scatter Arochukwu confederacy because it was decentralised

Ahead of where?


Read and write what? You guys were roaming inside Bush while other of your kinsmen served as slaves.

And right now all over Southeast you have Eze everywhere.

Where did this Ezes suddenly come from? And who are these Ezes? They were appointed by the British and they started wearing red caps grin

So you guys suddenly realized civilization comes with forming central leadership.


If you dont know your history let me school you.


It was a Yoruba man by name Samuel Ajayi Crowther that came and translated the English Bible for you guys. You guys didn't have any atom of civilization in you.

Unlike Lagos where Oba of Bini have documented evidence that they founded Lagos in the case of Onitsha he have no single evidence any Bini man have ever set foot in Igboland.
Nnamdi Azikiwe confirmed it in his book, and it's quite common history.

I didn’t ask for all these Epistles
Just mention one thing that your people invented or are good at

Stop telling me your family history

As far as I am concerned,the bini I have visited can’t be even compared with The Congo talk more of the dirtiest European town

So it’s no longer a Yoruba term,now it’s igala,later it will be mandarin language,make una dey pass am to una self

Zik was a human never perfect.
Eze Chima was never a Bini man.

You see you all igbos here are ignorant.

There is no language called Bini.

Its called Edo . And the Sstate is called Edo state for a reason.

And let me remind you, Edo state is bigger than 3 southeast states put together.

You guys are whacked. Im from Anambra, I did my NYSC in Edo State Etsako West. Edo people are not even up to 5 Local governments. Others in Edo State such as Etskako, Igbanke, Owan and Afenmai dont even understand Edo language. Not even Akoko-Edo speaks Edo. The entire population of Edo State does not even come close to that of just Anambra.

Bini people are a minority in Nigeria. May be at some point, the Bini empire was huge and strong, but that was a long time ago, those days are over

Get used to it

Are all people in Anambra igbo-speaking?

I said it that majority of you are ignorant and chest beaters. There is no region in Nigeria where the language is homogeneous including your Anambra.

Here is evidence. You can sulk on it.
