Why didn't this thread see the light of the day? When autocrats tell you they are now "converted democrats" be wary. These supporters of APC are not used to free speech and democracy. They have to be autocratic and feudalist if they must rule efficiently. lmao!

Lmfaoooooo. I gave this illiterate a direct book quote from an ubulu and this buf00n is giving me a NL post by some mohaden who claims to have gotten it from ubulu site yet such direct quote is nowhere on site except NL
https://www.nairaland.com/2363363/origin-ubulu-uku-kingdom

Secondly did you even read the quote you stole from NL, it states Ezemu family is from isreal, not even Benin. He happens to be invited to Benin by the oba for treatment. Lmfaoooo. In other to defeat a statement, the dumbass defeated himself. Who other Igbo group believes they migrated from isreal? Last I checked, it was NRI people who do.

Next time READ CAREFULLY before making a f00l of yourself

All you do is spit bitterness and abuse like the village urchin that you are....... .....the post I gave you is clearly referenced and available on many sites....google is your friend. It clearly states that Ezemu was living in satellite villages which was part of the Benin Kingdom....it also states that his family was from ife and maybe before that.....Israel..... and he was invited over by the Oba....... .........whether he believed he came from Israel is neither here nor there.....muumuu........

Those towns are part of d benin empire and before that.....from the ife empire and part of .......the oduduwa legacy......they are not ibo and that is why the people will never accept the Igbo toga u are trying to force them to wear....

ikechu1278:
That's the problem with you yoloba illiterates. You're the dumber than a rock, ignorant and very proud to display how ignorant and dumb you monkeys are. A pathetic, worthless, tribe that God allowed Satan to create. #i spit on una faces.

First, unlike your illiterate attache by force sister, Ezemu is the founder of ubulu ukwu and not ogwashi. If your attache by force sister was in fact anioma, her dimwitted @ss would have known that. Secondly Ezemu migrated from NRI kingdom, not Benin dimwit and finally the obi of ogwashi uku was a past ohaneze ndigbo and a biafran solider. Father of NOI

read n learn ...... .....all these abuse will not change d truth......this is what d real owners say.....

Origin Of Ubulu-Uku

||King Ezemu ||| Obi Ofulue | St Anthony's & Anglican Colleges || Festival | |Origin Of Ubulu-Uku | The Colonial Era| || Ubulu Uku Development Union ||

Ezemu was a hunter of un-equalled marksmanship, a herbalist who was known just in ubulu-uku and its immediate environs but down to every corner of the one time Benin Empire. He was so famous as a herbalist that the Oba of Benin during his time invited him to Benin to prepare certain herbs for him. “Izo-Idayi”. This helped to prolong the life of the Oba and so he told his successor to invite Ezemu or his descendants to prepare the same medicine for him any time he came to the throne. Before arriving at Ubulu –UKU however, Ezemu and his brothers first settled at Ubulu-unor. It was from Ubulu-Unor that Ezemu left for Ubulu-Uku. “Ubulu” is the name of a huge tree which today stands at the centre of Ubulu-uku. “UKU” means big or huge. It was at the foot of this tree ( which still exists today but which has experienced severe burns) that Ezemu pitched tent. A deep gulley was adjacent to the tree, and the presence of water attracted the wandering normand.

From Afor To Ubulu-Unor

In fact Ubulu oral tradition states categorically that the grand-parents of Ezemu migrated from Israel and settled at Ife hence Ezemu was often referred to as the king with long hairs – “Ezi Isi Iyomiyo”. From Ife Ezemu and his relations migrated to Afor a village in present day Ndokwa Local Government Area of Delta State.

After a long stay in Afor, Ezemu’s parents assembled five of their namely Obodo, Ezemu, Alibo, Aniga and Ekelie and asked them to get ready to migrate and found other settlements.

Before they left Afor, their parents gave them a pot (Ududu) containing a mixture of some herbs and instructed them to settle anywhere the pot fell, each facing a different direction. While wandering from place to place they came to Ubulu-Unor, the pot fell and they settled there as their parents had instructed them. It was from Ubulu-Unor that Ezemu went to found Ubulu-Uku.

Ezemu Moves To Ubulu-Uku

When Ezemu made up his mind to settle in ubulu-uku he went and pleaded with his sister Obodo to come and join him. She refused told Ezemu that since he, Ezemu had founded a new and bigger Ubulu ( Ubulu-Uku) their first settlement should be called a home (Ubulu-Unor).

There was also the strong argument that Obodo was never the king of ubulu-unor because she was a woman neither were her descendants kings of ubulu-unor rather they have always been and are the Okpalas of Umuata (the descendants of obodo).

Ezemu had two children , one boy called Ijedinka-Jezie and one girl called Ozim. Since Ijedinka-Jezie was the only son, Ezemu hoped that he would succeed him on the throne and so he was grooming him with the role. He had the hope that Ozim would be given out in marriage.

Introduction

Ubulu-uku is situated some thirty kilometres (30kms) west of the River Niger in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State. Eastwards it shares a boundary with Ogwashi-Uku, westwards with Obior; northwards with Issele-Uku and southwards with Ubulu-Unor.

Ubulu Uku is sited in an undulating environment with its Enugu-Iyi and Abuedo end at the top of a long stretch of hills, while its centre, fanning out from the Ubulu tree, to Isho, Akwu, Ogbeofu, Idumu-Osume etc are located in a valley.Rolling down these hills are rivers which run through the entire clan to the sea through other neighbouring clans. Iyi Agor ( River Agor) stands out prominently among these.

Ubulu-Uku is the largest and most populated town in Aniocha Local Government Area. Topograhically it is a hilly town that could be easily compared to Agbor in Delta State, Auchi in Edo State and Ibadan in Oyo State. This hilly nature of the town accounts for the serious problem of erosion which it faces. The Problem has made some of the streets impassable especially the street leading from the major road to Ogbeofu.

On the other hand when one looks at the town from any of the hilly spots especially at night, one sees a beautiful scenery that could be said to be one of the best that nature has bestowed on this part of the earth. The town has one major stream called Iyi-Agor which was the main source of water supply before the advent of pipe-borne water. A few other minor streams like Nkpitime-Isho, Iyi-Nta, Iyi-Eko and Iyi-Ozala also serve people in various parts of the town.

Three major roads run through the town . One runs from Asaba via Ibusa to ogwashi-uku then through Ubulu-uku to Obior and Umunede. The second road branches out from Ubulu-uku to umunede road at Idumu-Osume village via Akwu village and then to Issele-Uku. The third road branches out from Ubulu-Uku to Umunede road at the post office junction and runs through Akpama, Agbonta-Udogwu and Isho village to Ubulu-Unor.

Occupationally Ubulu-Uku men are farmers, weavers, hunters, and palm wine tappers. As for Ubulu-uku women they are expert weavers. With their hand looms they produce materials that are highly treasured by both foreign and Nigerian visitors to the town.

The Union that made up Ubulu-Uku

Ezemu meets Ekei One day while Ezemu was under the “Ubulu” tree he sighted smoke at a distance. He became curious and moved towards the direction from where the smoke was rising to find out its source. On getting to the spot called Ani-Ekei which now forms part of Udo Village, he met a man called Ekei, a black –smith. He was the leader of a few settlers there.

Ezemu meets Anugwe Just as Ezemu discovered Ekei and his people, he sighted some smoke rising from a spot in the bush around the present Abuedo village. Like the brave hunter that he was, he moved to find out the source of the smoke. On reaching the spot he saw a man called Anugwe working in his large farm. The exchanged greetings and introduced themselves.

Ezemu becomes the first king of Ubulu-uku

When Ezemu saw that he had surrounded himself with enough settlers he went up to Ekei and told him that it was necessary for the three groups of settlers to come together and that one of the three leaders should be made their king.

After listening to Ezemu, Ekei told him that he was already getting old and was not interested in being the king of Ubulu-Uku. Ezemu went up to Anugwe and told him of his proposals. Anugwe told Ezemu also that he was not interested in being a king. He asked Ezemu to become the king if he so wished. Thus Ezemu was accorded recognition by all the settlers in Ubulu-uku.
Then Ezemu went to Ubulu-unor and told Obodo that he was to be coronated formally. Obodo congratulated him and shaved his bushy hair in order to make him look neat on the coronation day. When Ezemu returned to Ubulu-uku he was crowned the king of ubulu-uku with a lot of pomp and pageantry.

I can bet my entire left balls you don't even know where in delta anioma is located. I can bet my left buttocks you are not from aniomaland, never been, never will be. Just the usual attache by force monkey

No u are the ignorant one......Ezemu and his brothers founded those places and they were from Benin.......the later day influx of d SE people in search of land....led to the mix up...... .....most anioma people know this hence the reason why the likes of keshi....oliseh.......etc insist that they are not iboes despite their Igbo sounding names.....l

Tkester:
You are simply a pathetic Idio.t.
You don't even know that the word Igbo and Ibo mean the same thing only in their usage, just as moslem and muslim.

I can't believe I spent two precious minutes of my life responding to your worthless post.
God Forbid!

Dumie is right...........anioma is Benin and not SE......read your history or speak to d real indigenes.....

dumie:
I usually don't comment on nl but just to clear the air. Delta ibos are Not Igbo's, pls ask any true delta ibo person. The ogwashi uku guy claiming igbo shud claim for himself n family. Ezemu of ubulu uku kingdom and his brothers descended from Beinn kingdom, pls ask ur parents this or better still read history books. Meanwhile core igbos don't accept us self, calling us ofe mamu. They want to claim us now becos of biafra. Igbos and Yoruba's e- fight shud not involve delta ibos.. U guys shud leave us out of this e-war

God bless you and your family for this truth.......the iboes r a shameless group....of people......claiming anioma is ibo.....even when all are saying the same.......your story about the ezemu is similar to the one Eshinwaju narrated..... ...anioma is Benin.....and will never be Biafra......

They are cowards........these clowns had all their leaders massacred n lost almost three million of their own people........ :Dplus any small tin o....in Israel o...Denmark.......dem go cut off their tolotolo necks in daylight.......yet they tun back to the north..... .....waiting for more beheadings,.......... ......then next line is blame the yorubas........

sunnyb0b0:
You think everybody is a coward like the Yoruba?

b

So says a people....whose greatest hero......ran to Abidjan dressed as a woman.......

The attempt by iboes to re-write history will not stand. The areas being referred to as anioma.......were all parts and extensions of the great Kingdom of Benin ......but over the years due to the migration from the small land mass in the SE...their people have been able to migrate and because of population advantages.....they have dominated these areas and now claiming there are part of ibo land...... .......

This is why our brothers in the SS will never join their Biafra.....they would be the first to behead any ibo claiming biafraudians on their lands.....because they know that sooner rather than later.......the flat.heads will be climbing ijaw is ibo....efik is ibo...rivers is ibo...bayelsa is ibo...... ....

SS.....shine ur eyes.......

The racists ibo tribe.........will soon get the lagoon treatment......

You obviously are some poorly educated twit....... ......so let me enlighten you a little...

Basically you can always tell the substance of a thread not only by its contents but how those negatively impacted by it respond, and on these two basis alone, this thread is a failure.... ........or put another way....dead on arrival.....

Nnamdi Azikiwe was very intelligent. He did not say that Onitsha people came from Benin. He rather said that his mother told him so. Azikiwe heard a story from his mother, and not his father. Women usually attach emotions to a story, and at the end of the day the story is usually not completely true. That's why Nnamdi Azikiwe intelligently said that it was his mother that told him the story. If he had heard the story from his father, who was the main authority in the family, then it would have been more credible. You can now understand the smartness of Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Funny.......so u r now in ziks mind.....kontinu......

The Convener of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has dismissed the sentiments shared by a former Governor of Anambra State that the Igbo have not been treated fairly in the governance of Nigeria.

Ezeife had argued that President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, who hails from the Igbo-speaking part of Delta State, to head the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, was not enough to satisfy the South-East.

But in an interview with our correspondent on Friday, Mohammed criticised Ezeife, insisting that people of the Igbo nation have enjoyed favourable treatment.

He added it was wrong to reward the Igbo simply on the basis of the Nigerian Civil War, which lasted between 1967 and 1970.

Mohammed said, “If it is about Buhari making the appointments based on merit, I have no problems with it. I don’t believe Buhari or Nigeria owes any Igbo anything. I don’t care what Ezeife says; if they had seceded, there would have been no Nigeria today. As people who acted outside the interest of Nigeria as a country, to expect compensation is a very odd logic.

“If the Igbo don’t like it, they can attempt secession again. If they do, they must be prepared to live with the consequences. Nobody owes them anything and nobody is out to compensate them for anything.”

The doctor-turned-politician also condemned claims that Buhari’s appointment of northerners into key positions in government was done out of ethnic sentiment.

He said, “They (critics) should tell us which ethnic groups have been favoured by Buhari in the course of making his appointments in parastatals and agencies. Those who are making those allegations, particularly the Igbo, have not told us exactly which parastatals.

“For example, an Igbo man has just been appointed as the head of the NNPC, one of the most important government agencies in Nigeria. And over 50 per cent of those appointed before him were also Igbos. So, if people decide to be mischievous, there is nothing anybody can do about it. As far as I am concerned, those appointed have been good and credible persons.”

On reports that Buhari may head the petroleum ministry for the next 18 months, the northern leader stated that there was no living Nigerian at that public level who knew as much about the ministry as Buhari.

According to Mohammed, there is full justification for Buhari to be petroleum minister for as long as he desires.

He added, “Moreover, the consequences of what happens in the oil ministry are so dire. When one looks at the track record of the past minister, one can see what we have to deal with as a country as a result of her being made a minister.

“In fact, I encourage him to retain the defence ministry because we are in a state of war and he is a distinguished retired general who has headed every single division of the Nigerian Army during his service. If he decides to be the defence minister, I would be more than glad.”

Nnamdi Azikiwe did not say that his ancestors came from Benin. He only recounted the story his mother told him. Read his book "My Odyssey" again. In that book, he defined himself as an Igbo man.

He recounted the story that his mother told him about the origin of onitsha people....... ....which is that they're Benin.....can u se people just stop lying..

ghostmist:
That difference in ''language'' is merely a difference in ''dialect''.It cuts across Igboland.The dialect may differ but the language is the same.Same thing in Yoruba.When my Ondo friend starts speaking her dialect no other yoruba person around understands her.She is not speaking a different language;just a dialect of Yoruba that other yoruba speakers are not familiar with.

Continue deceiving ur selves..........nothing similar with Yorubas........

To say Aniocha/Anioma isn't igbo is to say Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Nzeogwu and in an indirect was Nnamdi Azikiwe aren't Igbos.
Anyways, I think this 'debate' has died everywhere outside of the Nairaland politics section.

Even Nnamdi Azikiwe said the same thing........that Aniomas are from Benin......the king of Agbor said the same....the language is different.....the dressing is different etc......Aniomas is not and will never be Ibo........

Anioma is Benin origin but because of .........ibo population...some of them speak a dialect of ibo ........but they are not really ibos.......know ur history.........the real ibos don't even understand them when they speak their dialect...... ....Anioma is totally anti biafran nonsense...

OP is a druggie.......

Pennywise:
I understand something similar may be coming up soon in the ancient city of Benin, the King being very old. The Binis are a stickler for tradition. It is said they tend to prefer Igbos more than any other for these rites.

This Kanu guy is a joke........
