If you ask them what led them into fraud, they will blame the government. Please help me ask all the yahoo boys that if the government create a job for them and will pay them 150k per month, will they take the offer? With their lavish lifestyle non of them will accept it.
What pain me most is that they see you as a fool just because you refused to go into fraud.

Our leaders in yorubaland should find solution to this Yahoo pandemic going on in our land. Children of 15 - 16yrs are already chasing the world..

Your Esan people have people of Igbo, Igala and Yoruba origins in your midst. So why are you still Esan?
Why don't we now call you a hybrid of many people and not Esan? I mean Ekpon people already speakers of Igboid language, the communities around Ilushi speak Igala.

The Bini have Yoruba people (Usen), and peoples of Igbo speaking and Izon origin in their midst, when then don't Bini stop being Bini, why don't they become a hybrid.
Or does this hybrid story only work in Igbo speaking areas?
Parts ofv Isoko have people of Edo, Bini, Ijaw and Urhobo origins, why don't they stop being Isoko and become some thing else to reflect the so called origin of groups they assimilated?

Eben and Ada doesn't belong to Bini.
Its more like a shared culture between the Bini, Anioma and Eastern Yorubas. Ofala celebration is rooted in Nri and not Bini and Onitsha monarch is proudly Igbo having successfully broken free from Bini fever.
There is nothing for an Igbo speaking group that are not insane to celebrate about Bini.
The famous Agbor historian E.A Iduwe made it clear that Bini was a smaller Kingdom to Agbor until they met the Portuguese who gave them superior power arms with which they used to intimidate neighboring Eastern Yoruba and Western Igbo groups for a while until weapons proliferation happened and everything normalized.
Wow, now I can see your main agenda is to commonize everything about Benin. How can you say Ada and Eben is a shares culture. Something that's of Benin origin and a symbol of imperial Benin....what are you saying...do you know the authority behind then Ada and Eben...you will never know because it's not your culture. Ada and Eben a shared culture.... I am done with you. Abeg no quote me again

History of a people is not their exclusive right to change or distort, because a people history don't stand in isolation.
Issele uku and its monarch just because they are trying to lay claim to the "Ofo" (another ancient Igbo relic proving their Igbo origin) of Umuezechima from their brothers, will not be allowed to distort their history.
Our people in Idemili area have had ancient interaction with Ndi Enuani since antiquity and at no time do we know them as Bini speakers.
So when Obi Nduka wake up and start claiming they were Bini people that were converted to Igbo speakers by interactions with us across the Niger, it becomes our business to sqauash such fallacy, because it is an insult to our own memory and makes a fool of us. Our history has it that we had dealings with our fellow Igbo speaking brothers across the Niger. Iselle uku people don't have the right to change it without us objecting.

Issele uku suffers from Stockholm syndrome sustained from interactions with imperial Bini. Binis know that at no point were Issele people anything but Igbos who always spoke Igbo and whose Diokpas had ancient Igbo staff of authority called "Ofo". So why exactly are you lots feeding Issele uku Stockholm syndrome?

If someone you barely know wake up one morning and denied his brothers and start claiming you are his brother, even when you can't understand his language. Shouldn't you be questioning the sanity of such person rather than stupidly trying to claim him as a brother?
You're saying Isele uku people should question their sanity right..... My guy your pride is too much. The itsekiris and the Benins agree that their monarchy came from Benin. The Benins and the yorubas agree that Oronmiyan came from Ile-ife to establish a dynasty. Where Oronmiyans father came from is their business, they can argue on that, but at least they agree that Oronmiyan came from Ile-ife. The Benin people and the Isele uku people agree that their monarchy came from Benin.....but you from somewhere across the Niger says that it is a lie, that Isele uku people and their king have mental issues....

Don't be silly.

We know the relationship between the western Igbos and Edo/Edoids were not one way traffic

Many families in Anioma originated from Edo ,just as many families in Edo originated from Anioma.
However, while you Edoids maintain that you remain Edo despite having assimilated many Igbo speaking groups in your midst, you have refused to let Anioma stay Igbo, just because they assimilated some Edo people.
Does it make sense to you?

The Edo migrants in Anioma met aboriginal Igbo speaking groups there who acculturated them and made them Igbo speakers. These Edoid elements has therefore by this fact ceased to be Edo but Igbo. In similar manner, many Igbo speaking groups from Anioma and even as far as Anambra migrated into Edolands and became assimilated by indigenous Edo people they met there. These families no longer speak Igbo and don't bear Igbo names, and therefore has become Edo despite their migration from Igbo speaking territories.
You don't see Igbos trying to claim them and you don't see them trying to cause problems to their Edo hosts by chanting that they originated from Igbo land and therefore not Edoids or Edo, despite the fact that they had been assimilated as Edos and now speak Edo as first language.

If your in-law from Ezi migrated from Bini, its no big deal. It means he was an Edo man who migrated into Igbo speaking town called Ezi and became acculturated as Igbo by the indigenes he met on ground. What is the big deal in that? If he doesn't want to remain Igbo, why can't he migrate back to part of Edoland where his ancestors migrated to Ezi from?
Why come to another man land and start taking the accommodation given to you for granted by instigating identity crisis?
You also don't be silly
Because I don't see Benin claiming Isele uku or Anioma. It is Isele uku that is attaching itself to Benin because they have a history with us than they have with people in Owerri. Even in Asaba here you see them inscribing the Benin ceremonial swords on their street signposts. Did Edo state givement make them do it. At the entrance of Isele uku you see the festac mask there, did benin people construct it or force them to put it there.

I just told you my ancestors are from Agbor, I don't speak on IKA. They migrated into Esan land. I am Esan. Full blooded Esan and Edo. I don't claim Agbor. But as my father told me, so will I tell my kids that my ancestors came from Agbor and today we are Esan. You see what we have in Ika land is a hybrid of so many people, Benins, Esans and others coming together. That's why it's difficult for an Ika man to say he is Igbo. My coursemate in Uniben then told me his ancestors were from a village in Orhiomwon but he now claims he is Ika. My friend will never agree he Igbo. I use to tease him then that he is Igbo but he never agrees to it.

No body is claiming your beloved Enu-ani people. They're simply proud of the fact that they associated with a great name like Benin and have a history with her. It's what they are proud of and it's what they will always flaunt weather you Igbo's from across the Niger like or not. The palace in Onitsha will still continue to dance with that Ada and Eben you see during their Ofala festival. It's their history, so let them be

Kirigidi:
The Igbos across the Niger are deficient in rich history, and vain pride will not allow them to accept the fact that Delta Igbos were once under the imperial rule of ancient Benin Empire. I am Urhobo and the name of my clan is "Agbon". There is historical relationship between my "Urhobo Agbon" and "Ika Agbor". History has it that our ancestor "Agbon" and his household migrated from ancient "Udo" near present day Benin city, settled temporarily around modern day Agbor town where he had his first son whom he named "Okpara" ( meaning first child)", before finally moving to our present location in the heart of Urhobo land. My clan ancestor possibly got the name "Agbon" during his sojourn in Ika land. So I believe you when you said the original name of "Agbor" was "Agbon". As proves of our ancestral interactions, there are so many words, proverbs, customs, traditions my Urhobo "Agbon" and Ika "Agbor" still share in common. For instance, in tribal meetings we Urhobo (Agbon clan) greet "isiagware", Ika (Agbor) also greet "isiagware". Urhobo call God "Osonobruwe", Ika Agbor call God "Osonobruwe". Traditional town hall is called "ogwa" in Urhobo, Ika Agbor also call it "ogwa". Urhobo call town/kindred quarters "ogbe", Ika also call it "ogbe". The list is numerous. Even the ancient name of Agbor "Ominijie" also features in our folklores. Ominijie in Urhobo can literally be translated as "congregation of many communities/ people". Ominijie is an Edoid word.
God bless you. I am Esan by tribe, but my family history says that my ancestors came from present day Agbor to where my village is in Ekpoma, Edo state. There is nothing in pride, my in-law from Ezi says that their family name tells of their ancestors who was a native doctor in Benin. Even the present Governor of Edo state has his family root in Isele uku. Many other families, one thing about Benin was that it attracted the best people just like the USA. If you served the Empire very well, you will be rewarded. The Enogie of Ogida isn't really from Benin.

Do you need me to remind you of how one single platoon of Ibadan army marched on your 2by2 kingdom raiding for slaves and displacing several Edo groups ??

Do yourself the good of putting your 2by2 kingdom where it belongs — Benin and its surrounding Edo villages.

Even Ishan does not acknowledge your Oba’s sovereignty.

One of your obas was slaughtered and be-headed by an Ishan army.

Does the name of Issele uku monarchy sound Bini to you?
Check which influx? You lots keep making up fantasies. No such influx was checkmated. Igbo speaking people already lived in both sides of River Niger before the first Bini man walked planet earth, that's why you still have those Igbo speaking towns in Edo state like Owariuzo, Igbanke, etc.
Bini was too busy digging trenches at Agbor border to protect themselves from Ika warriors. Who dash una passage to send frontiers in Issele uku?
Lol!

Issele uku monarchy claim to Bini ancestry is a fallacious one to make it appear grand before its Western Igbo brothers because of the Prestige Portuguese acquired firearms gave Bini those days.
There is no truth in it. Its akin to some Igbos claim to Israeli origin. None of those claims can stand the scrutiny of rational analysis.
You just want a supremacy argument.
But if the books of history, none of your Igbo settlement can rival that of Benin.

By the way, your map is ridiculous. Bini couldn't even get past Agbor and had to dig trenches all around your Eastern frontiers to protect yourselves from the Ikas.
So the romans had a wall round Rome because they were scared of the Macedonians or what. Cities build defenses around themselves. The only foreign force that successfully entered Benin itself was the British....

Go all over anioma land they will tell you tales of how their medicine men were always coming to Benin. You can't compare Benin to Agbor na....the original name for what you call Agbor is Agbon.

The influence of Benin is felt all around her. All around. You see it everywhere. The reason why some people in anioma will say they are not Igbo is because of the Benin factor.

Igbanke people I know all go by Igbo names mixed with Edo ones. I belong to INPA Facebook page and WhatsApp group, so I should know better.

Issele uku was never a frontier and was never a Bini territory. They were at best an Igbo speaking people who served as vassals to Bini empire in the Anioma region in the past. They were never Bini people despite all the historical distortions they churn out today. That Britain ruled Nigeria doesn't make us British people.

Ozanogogo are the only real Edo people in Anioma, and they still speak edoid language till today.
Other stories of Anioma towns who are Igbo speaking being founded by fictional Bini princes are senseless fabrications.
The people in Issele Uku might be igboid but the monarchy isn't. Issele Uku was established long before the era of Oba Ewuare the great. Infact, Oba Equate seeked asylum in Issele Uku royal family before he came back to Benin. Issele Uku was the only frontier established by Benin to check the influx of people from across the Niger.

They're not saying a wrong history.
Issele Uku history is very old

Not having an Enogie is a pointer to the fact that Isele Uku is not under the dominion of Edo.
You are relating two unrelated things.

We already know that Enogie title exists in Igbanke out of Bini imperialism and greedy need by those stooges appointed as Enogies in Igbanke to retain power.

The Enogies derive their power directly from the Oba and would like Igbanke to remain tied to Oba, so as to retain power, even if some of their people want away from Edo.

Edos are landgrabbers, they don't see Anioma as Edo people, cos they know Anioma isn't Edo, they don't care about Anioma welfare, they are more interested in keeping Anioma as a vassal region under their dominion. The Igbanke people in Edo know better.
I don't think I have land grabbing tendencies lol...but I wish we could have some of our kind that are deep in ika land given back to us. Like the people of Oza nogogo and other towns.

All the igbanke people I know bear Edo names, yet they say they are not Benin. I just laugh and move on. You can't be bearing Osariemen and Ehiogie and not be Edo. But ask the people of Oza nogogo, they will tell you they're Benin.

Maybe if we become independent, we will have to negotiate on land with the Dein of Agbor.

As for Issele Uku, it is gone and gone. It's like a frontier that has been lost. Like Lagos that we can never get back. But we can always keep in touch with and maintain cordial relationship

This guy is such a Whiz kid.
I get so excited when I see youths who earn very well through legitimate means just from thinking outside the box.

Motivational speakers on prosperity have taught that the only way to remain wealthy is to deal in a product that will always be in demand.

According to them too, you can only classify yourself as wealthy when you earn per second even when you are asleep.
KrissyJoh has ticked both boxes with gold.
I'm happy that today's pornstars are wealthy because we were made to believe that a teacher's reward is in heaven.
These guys have taught us, brought us pleasure and helped us in carrying out God's assignment to "go and multiply". The least we can do is to wish them well by always watching their videos.

Porn will forever be in demand. It is the one thing which everyone enjoys but no one openly admits to have even seen any.
But not for me. No day goes by without me streaming at least 12 porn flicks. I'm so dedicated that I not only know all pornstars by their name, I can also tell them apart from just their moans.

I pray someone picks this up as an inspiration. You can't have internet access, a camera phone and a sex partner and end the year 2021 broke.
