NO  TRUE IKA  PERSON ,WANTS TO BE CALLED  A BINI MAN OR AN  IGBO MAN , THE  POINT IS THAT WE ARE IKAS, WE HAVE NEVER DENIED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH IGBO OR OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH BENIN .THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BENIN AND IKA HAS EXISTED FOR HUNDRED OF YEARS ,IF NOT  MORE , SOME TIMES THEY FIGHT WAR ,AGAINST EACH  OTHER AND  AT TIMES THEY ARE AT PEACE,IKA AND BENIN SHARE MANY SIMILARITIES AND TIES OF BROTHERHOOD.JUST AS WE ALSO SHARE WITH IGBOS  IN SOME ASPECTS , I  WILL LIST  SOME .
1. THERE ARE STILL SOME CHIEFTHANCY TITLES IN AGBOR TODAY, THAT IF YOU WANT TO TAKE , YOU MUST STILL GO  TO BENIN AND GET SACRED CHALKS FROM ELDERS IN THE BENIN COMMUNITIY ,THEN IF THEY GIVE YOU THE NOD , THEN YOU GET THE TITLE IN AGBOR, THE REASON IS THAT THE PEOPLE OF THAT COMMUNITY IN AGBOR  MIGRATED FROM THAT VILLAGE IN BENIN.
2. ANOTHER AREA OF RELATIONSHIP THAT TIES IKA AND BENIN IS OBISHIP ( KINGSHIP) ,IKA KINGS ARE CROWNED IN THE BENIN USELU  SYSTEM AND THAT STILL STRONGLY TIES BENIN AND AGBOR OR IKA TOGETHER AS RELATIVES.
3. CHIEFTHANCY STRUCTURE AND NAMES - IKA CHIEFTHANCY IS PATTERNED AFTER BENIN THREE STRUCTURE OF  PALACE, TOWN AND HEREDITORY TITLES,THAT GOES UNDER BENIN NAMES LIKE OLIHEN,OVIA,OBASEKI,IHONDON,OLOGBOSHERE,OZOMOR ,IYASE AND OTHERS.
4. THE PRESENT MONARCH OF AGBOR -DEIN OF AGBOR IS SAME BLOOD LINE FAMILY WITH THE PRESENT OBA OF BENIN,AND THERE IS STILL A TABOO,WHICH PROHIBITS ANY AGBOR ROYAL PRINCE FROM MARRYING A BENIN ROYAL PRINCESS.THIS WAS EVIDENT IN THE ROLE PLAYED BY THE OBA IN THE CROWNING OF THE PRESENT KING  OF AGBOR -KIAGBOREKUZI , AND THE TRAINNING HE SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED IN THE BENIN ROYAL PALACE.
5. TRADITIONAL RELIGION BINDS BENIN AND IKA TOGETHER AS IN THE PAST THEY WORSHIPPED MOSTLY SAME DEITIES AND PERFORMED SAME CEREMONIES TOGETHER  LIKE IDIGUN, IKABA,IGBOSE,IGUE,IRUA,OVIA, AKE ,OHUMWEEDEN AND THEY BOTH PERFORMED IGUE FESTIVAL TOGETHER IN TIME PAST,AND UP TILL TODAY IGUE IS STILL THE MOST FAMOUS FESTIVAL  OF IKA PEOPLE AND BINIS.
6. BENIN AND IKA HAD MANY SIMILAR CULTURES IN MARRIAGE, SHARING OF PROPERTIES,WAY OF LIFE AND STRUCTURE OF VILLAGE AND TOWNS -EBON(UMU),IDUMU AND OGBE,
7. THE BINIS AND IKAS SHARED SAME TRIBAL MARKS CALLED IGU IN IKA AND CALLED IWU IN BENIN .
8.  THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BENIN AND IKAS ARE STILL VERY CLOSE AND EVEN THE BENIN OBA AND CHIEFS STILL COME TO IKA LAND TO SOME TIMES SHARE IN EXCHANGE OF RITUALS AND OTHERS THINGS , MANY IKAS STILL LEAVE IN BENIN TERRITORY AND THEY ARE NOT HARRASSED BUT ARE INTERGRATED INTO THE SCHEME OF THINGS WHILE WE ALSO HAVE MANY BINIS LEAVING IN IKA LAND TOO.
  IF YOU VISIT ANY BENIN WEBSITE TILL TODAY , YOU WILL STILL SEE THAT THEY LIST  IKAS AS BINI RELATED PEOPLE.
9. IKA PEOPLE ALSO SHARE SAME NAMES WITH THE BINIS SUCH AS EHIJIE,OSAGIE,OBAIGBENA,OSABOHIEN,OSAIGBOBU, IZOJIE,ISIBOR  ,IRABOR, E.T.C
10.  THE BINIS AND IKAS CALLED GOD- OSENOBUE,OSELOBUE ,OSANOBUWA  ,AND BELIEVE IN EHI AS GUARDIAN SPIRIT.
11. THERE ARE STILL TODAY ,SOME COMMUNITIES IN IKA LAND , THAT SPEAK AN EDOIC LANGUAGE CALLED OZARRA IN AGBOR  AND THEY ARE IKAS
 HAVING SAID THIS WE ALSO HAVE SOME COMMON CULTURE WITH THE IGBOS ,LIKE .
1. AREA OF HAVING IKENGA DEITIES ,AND PERFORMING THE IWAGI( NEW-YAM) FESTIVAL, ALTHOUGH IKAS HAVE A DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING THEIR IWAGI OR OGBANIGBE.
2.WE ALSO SHARE LANGUAGE SIMILARITY  AS  IKA LANGUAGE ITSELF CONTAINS MANY IGBO WORDS ,SO THE LANGUAGE SHOWS A BROTHERLY LINK ,BETWEEN IKAS AND IGBOS .ALTHOUGH IKA LANGUAGE ALSO CONTAINS WORDS AND STRUCTURES THAT ARE NOT IGBO .
3.  IKA PEOPLE ALSO BEAR MANY IGBO NAMES LIKE CHUKUEMEKE, ISIOMA, NDUKA, EBELE ,CHIBUZOR  E.T.C
            BUT AS IKA PEOPLE,WE HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT THE OLDEST THINGS IN OUR COMMUNITIES ARE THOSE LINKED TO BENIN.BUT HAVING SAID ALL THIS , WHAT THUS  IT  MEAN ,TO US, WE ARE IKAS AND WE WILL LIKE TO  MAINTAIN OUR IDENTITY ,NO MAN OUTSIDE IKA LAND CAN TELL US WHO  WE ARE ,SO AS IKAS WE KNOW WHO WE ARE WE  ARE IKAS.IKAS HAVE NEVER SAID THEY WANT TO BE CALLED BINIS,NEITHER HAVE WE SAID WE WANT TO BE CALLED IGBOS, BUT WE SHOULD BE RESPECTED AS IKAS.A DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUP.

What a load of rubbish. Repetition all the time.
Why not come on line and chat with Nairalanders interested in culture. My guy, this is a chat forum, not where you post same article over and over. Does that not bore you?. It is very boring indeed.
My humble advice to you is to quit using we and use I. Your opinion will never represent the beliefs of Ika people who are Igbo.
You are very advantaged to use the Dept of Igbo language at The college of Education Agbor to improve your Igbo communication skills rather than posting the same crap all the time.
Personally, you may be of Binin ancestry as  your name suggest-Agbontaen or is Omigie?.
You should devote your time to harnessing a united Igbo force that will usurp power from those that have ruled the Igbo people of Delta state since 1991.

what's going on with andre uweh and oyinda here?

andre in particular hasnt quite been himself ever since the oyinda matter. ie the little argument over whether the name is yoruba or igbo.

[s]hope it's not your wife bearing that name?[/s]

Nonsense, how can Ohaneze be more powerful than the Government.

They cant even be compared to serious groups like Arewa and Afenifere.

Who even does what they say? How many students in Universities in the East know who the officers of Ohaneze are? You'll be surprised that many of them are tuning into African Magic Yoruba station as we speak.

Igbo people arent the President, nor the Vice, nor Senate President, nor Speaker, nor Secretary to The Federation, but party chairman, and as we have seen with the 500 senate presidents we produced under OBJ, already have a second Chairman and counting, whereas the other positions (minus Pres) are the same.

Someone said that Igbo people are cowards, no, they simply are interested in other things other than group solidarity and fighting collectively for anything. No international airport in their place, no world class city in their zone, no major university or tourist attraction in their zone. And like other groups, they for the most part, have been NIGERIANIZED

ChinenyeN:
Wait, I think I know where I'm getting confused, now. You're using "recognition" and "status" synonymously, and I understand the two to be different, but related things. You seem to want to talk about status though, and not recognition, in particular, because from what I know, at least the Igbo society that I'm familiar with, women do receive lots of recognition. So, I would think that that ought not be your issue. So now, if you could help me out though on one little thing, do elaborate more on what you mean by "full recognition". Is it just titles that you are talking about or is there more to it?

ChinenyeN:
Is this ethic pan-Igbo?
