Even till date British recognises only these kings- Obi of Onitsha, Ooni of Ife, Oba of Benin, Sultan of Sokoto

This picture was taken recently when Prince Charles visited Nigeria

Lies

Igbo Izugbe was the coinage of several dialects to become what could be general igbo language.

Onitsha had and still has a distinct sweet dialect that flows with ease. No wonder the colonists used it in their literature translation as a standard igbo language.

Onitsha doesn't speak igbo izugbe. Onitsha has it's own sweet dialect.

King control kingdom. King oversees kingdom.

Nonsense..there is nothing like Igbo..wake up,

Who is this clown? Show us one king in the whole of Igbo land that ever hosted the Queen of England

1956: Queen Elizabeth II And Prince Philip Meet His Majesty Obi Okosi Of Onitsha


The Queen of England and the Prince Consort meets the Obi of Onitsha, His Majesty Obi Okosi, in Onitsha during the British royals' tour of Nigeria in 1956. With them is the great Zik of Africa, Nnamdi Azikiwe.

No other part of igbo land had such privilege because they had neither king, nor organized traditional government.

Obi of Onitsha dynasty was already established with instruments of government before Crowther, Equino and rest arrived Onitsha. This points to its origin.

Obi of Onitsha dynasty proves that civilisation and origin of igbo land started in this region where Eri king/kingdom started off.

Stop quoting me if you know nothing. Now it is about conquests and no longer about its existence. Get proper education

By the time Europeans arrived Onitsha with missionaries in 1857 there were already existing order, culture, language, traditional government that points to the origin of igbo land in this axis particularly Eri/Nri.

Before the Europeans came there were existing cultures and language which they relied on. Their first contact in Igbo land was Onitsha, no wonder the first igbo literature, bible etc were written in Onitsha dialect.

For instance Obi of Onitsha dynasty is over 400years.

Igbo had kings even before the coming of colonial masters. For instance the Obi of Onitsha dynasty has been before Europeans came to Africa

Our leader Nnamdi kanu fell flat in recognition of his origin at Obu Gad

Even for some of us, our leader Nnamd Kanu from faraway Abia state recognized the origin of Igbo land when he visited Eri king at Obu Gad

MelesZenawi:
Mr don't twist a bare fact before you after going back to research, u jump in here with another nonsense narrative.

There is no right or wrong...It is what it is and what isn't. .....



Stop misbehaving, research well and read.


Nnewi has four semi-autonomous parts: Otolo, Uruagu, Umudim and Nnewichi. Each of these quarters has an Obi which has been hereditary since inception, but the Obi of Otolo (the most senior quarter) is the Igwe of Nnewi. Whoever is the Obi of Otolo is automatically the Igwe of Nnewi. It is not contestable. The Whiteman met it like that when he came.

When the Whiteman (Major Moorhouse) and his army marched into Nnewi in 1904, the young Igwe, whose father had just died, was spirited away for fear that the Whiteman would kill him. His uncle Nwosu Odumegwu, who was the richest man in Nnewi then, received the visitors. They thought he was the Igwe but he told them no that the Igwe was in mourning and should not see visitors while mourning the late Igwe. Given that Ezeodumegwu was wealthy and influential, the Whiteman sought to make him the Warrant Chief of Nnewi, but he vehemently refused.


The Whiteman was said to have expressed his surprise that an African would refuse to be made the Warrant Chief of his people by the Whiteman. When Ezeodumegwu and other elders got a firm assurance that the young king would not be harmed, they arranged for a public meeting between the Igwe and the Whiteman at the Nkwo Nnewi Square. On the appointed day, Igwe accompanied by the other three Obi of the three quarters came out to meet with the Whiteman in the presence of the Nnewi People. Igwe was a young man of 23 years then.

Ps: Ezeodumegwu was just a title he took...Don't stress your ignorance far.

This is of a truth

Among all the states listed, Abia is the most backward. Who shall help us in Abia state

okpalaAnambra:
Na wash..him don start again..Obi is a big time scam

Even when our governor Orji is in prison you still have mouth to talk in public. I spit on you

NaijirianKing:
History Class is still ongoing, the Professor is still lecturing.

Until about 1500, major economic, social, and political transformations led to continuous outward migrations from overpopulated and less fertile Igbo core areas to more fertile lands, particularly east of the lower Niger River. The Igbo had cultural relations with their various neighbors, the Igala, Ijaw (Ijo), Urhobo, Edo, and Yoruba. From 1434 to 1807, the Niger coast was a contact point between European and African traders. This was also the period of trade in slaves; this activity resulted in the development of many centralized states owing to greater economic accumulation and the development of more destructive weapons of war. The Portuguese came to Nigerian coastal towns between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; they were the first Europeans to make contact with the Igbo. The Dutch followed in the seventeenth century, and the British came in the eighteenth century. In the late nineteenth century, mission Christianity and colonialist interest worked together for the colonization of Igboland. The Church Missionary Society and the Catholic Mission opened their missions in Onitsha in 1857 and 1885, respectively.

Though I am from inferior Abia state but you have stated the truth

NRI bu Isi igbo. I am from Abia state and I approve this message.

Osagyefo98:







May God bless the Catholic faithfuls and most of all the Bishop in this selfless service.


lalasticlala please do the needful.

The gate of hell will never prevail against the church.

Ok

BeijinDossier:
So you prefer a failure? Who cursed Abia people sef?

Nigeria under senator Orji Kalu will be a successful country with a good infrastructures

okpalaAnambra:
Abum onye Nnewi... This is pan-igbo and Igbo comes first...Ngige is an irrelevant talkative...let him come and contest the guber let us see if he won't carry last

Orji kalu is our best. Though Orji performed woefully as as governor while Ngige performed excellently as a governor but I think we should push Orji to become president

hammerU:
I THINK U ARE GAY.


THIS IS A NEW MONIKER?


U ARE NOT IGBO BUT EVERYTIME U WILL COME HERE TO BE DISTURBING YOUR FELLOW MEN.


U ARE THE ONE MAKING US HATE YORUBA.

I am from OSISIOMA in Abia state

hammerU:
LISTEN VERY CLEARLY TO WAT HE IS SAYING.

THESE ARE THE MEN THAT CONTROL BUHARI.

IF U CANNOT COMPREHEND OR LISTEN TO WAT SOMEBODY IS SAYING AND KNOW THE DIRECTION THEY ARE HEADING THEN U ARE DUMB.

FOR MONTHS NOW, THE NORTH HAVE MAINTAINED THE SAME POSITION AND ALL SAYING THE SAMETHING.

Senator Orji Kalu is well connected to get the nomination and fix Nigeria

IDENNAA:
Abia has no political clout of any means!
The state is pathetic just like Enugu! Imo could have simply ended the same way if it want for Oshio-Baba who singlehandedly stopped Rochas stooge , Uche Nwosu.

Though Abia state is ruins as the worst state in Nigeria but we still have prominent aspirants like Orji kalu who can turn things around for Nigeria. Senator is the chief Whip in the Senate.

hammerU:
AFONJA! IS IT FROM PRISON WHERE APC KEPT HIM?


WE NEED TO TALK LIKE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT DRUNK SOMETIMES.


PARTICULARLY ON MATTERS THAT REQUIRE SOME LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE OR FORECASTING.

Senator Orji is innocent, it was yorubas that put him in jail because he is the best for igbo president

IDENNAA:
Ogbonna Onu is probably the oldest member of APC but he is not as pragmatic as Ngige....Ngige is a very strong character. He was kidnapped as a governor but he got the last laugh and today Omanbalas honor him.

By the way , when are you gonna change the fake moniker....you are not from Anambra!

Orji is our best

hammerU:
IT IS SOLUDO TIME.


WHO DID HE OFFEND THAT ANAMBRA CANNOT GIVE HIM A CHANCE, AT LEAST FOR 4 YEARS TO SEE WAT HE WANT TO DO?


NO NEED FOR HIM TO JOIN APC OR FOR APC IN ANAMBRA.


LET US FACE IT THE NORTH WILL NOT HAND OVER POWER 2023.


BUHARI WILL LIKELY HAND POWER TO ANOTHER NORTHERNER.


IIGBO MUST NOT JOIN YORUBA IN SELF DELUSION.


OPEN YOUR EYE AND READ LISTEN TO WAT THE NORTHERNERS ARE SAYING. THEN U KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING.

Senator Orji Kalu is the best bet for the igbos as a presidential material

Senator Orji uzo Kalu will make a very good presidential candidate

UMUAHIA1stson:
Condition of Abia state particularly Aba as shown below is a cause to ashamed of Abia state. See the road situation in Aba

The condition of Abia state is making me to feel inferior when in midst of other igbos
