"The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an Empire" --- Voltaire.

The Holy Roman Empire was an Empire only in name. It was a ridiculous attempt to keep the memory of the dead Roman Empire alive. The free cities, and palatines of what is now Germany did not give a hoot about the 'Emperor'. German was not an Empire before the Iron Chancellor, Bismarck unified the German territories (except for Austria) under the king of Prussia. Read an actual European history book, sir.

Jesus!
Dude,that's a shiny object moment for you there,quoting Voltaire.
This wise tho,you fail.I just happened to be an historian,majoring in medieval European history

The HRE may not have been "Holy" nor "Roman",but an empire it sure was.
What German palatinate under it's sway did not give a hoot about it?.Or you need lessoning on the extent of the empire and the powers it wielded?.
Heck,Charles V sacked Rome n held the Pope prisoner in his abode at some point.
Need I also teach you how James 1 of England's daughter and son in law were sacked,lost their lands and palatinate and only managed to keep their lives cos of James' intervention, for daring to accept the crown of Bohemia and Moravia after being forbidden by the Emperor?.
Word of advise,hit the books if you would make allusions to European history you know absolutely nothing about.Dribbling out a Voltaire quote from a quick Google search is a non-starter.
You didn't even know Austria was an empire covering most of what is Slav today,bar Poland,Russia,Bulgaria and Romania to an extent.

Igboid:


The problem with your German hypothesis is that there are no history of such Igbo migration into Edo speaking Agbor, so much as to change the language demographics of the place if there were, Edo history will capture it.
Rather what we have is history of Edo people invading Ominijie( probably the name Edo people called the people, not necessary what the people called themselves) , conquered the people, United them under a kingdom, probably because they never saw themselves as one, ruled over them for sometime, before the people rebelled.

You are really over reaching with your German hypothesis here.

The "German hypothesis" falls flat to start with,there was a Germanic empire prior to Bismarck's Iron and Blood unification of northern Germanic states under Prussia.
Heck,there were two,counting the Habsburg's Austrian Empire.
You guys should be informed before bringing in false equivalencies here.

Cire80:
Who is Anioma for Nnewi to borrow cultures from? What ignorance. Awka and Nnewi borrowed lots of words and cultures from Anioma. For you to ask this question shows debating with you is just a waste of time.

I see that you keep letting slide my assertion you're Bini and not Ika,as you've tried to fool some here with.
Good.
Now,stop beating about the bush.Which town/settlement is named "Anioma",for Nnewi to have borrowed words from?.Bearing in mind before colonialism we rarely,if not hardly,associated with towns across the river.

RedboneSmith:


Easy answer. We have already been through this. Population movement.

The Germans had no empire before they were unified in the 19th century. How did they Germanize so much of Slavic territory at a time when they were just a bunch of tiny city-states and counties? Answer: They have a large population. They were migrating into less-populated areas. By virtue of their population they could assimilate aboriginal populations. Simple. You rely too much on the 'Empire' hypothesis as the explanation for cultural/linguistic assimilation.

Wrong.
The Holy Roman Empire was a Germanic empire.
From Charlemagne to the Hohenstaufens,down to the Habsburgs.
Don't try to rewrite European history here,mister.

Cire80:
Ebo is not an Igbo word. Nnewi borrowed lots of words from Anioma. Ebo is not in Igbo culture. In Edo and Ika culture, Ogbe, Idunwun /Idumu and Evbo/Ebon are used as a form of stratification or structuralization in our Kingdoms and clans. In Ika as well as in Bini/Ishan, Ogbe is the quarter, each Ogbe is subdivided into Idunwun/Idumu and this is further divided into Evbo/Ebons. All these divisions and subdivisions hold their meetings in a place called Egua/Ogua. We have Ogua Ogbe, Ogua Idumu and Ogua Ebon. For anybody to say Ebon has nothing to do with Evbo is the height of prejudice.

For starters,which town or settlement is called Anioma,for Nnewi to borrow words from?.
When did we even actively interacted with the "Anioma town" to be "borrowing" words from them?.
I've had lively engagements with Bini people before,quite lovely and engaging culture,but you coming here to display your ignorance for all,all in a bid to claim a people not yours is something else.
FYI,Ogbe is an Nnewi word too.Same as Ogwa

Cire80:
fabrications is allowed but by the way, what did he say is the meaning of his name? Some words have the same spelling but different meaning. I stand by my comment. Ebonka is an Anioma name. Ebon is a very important word in Edo and Ika culture and community structure. In all Ika clan, After Ogbe which is quarters, you have Idumus then Ebon. This is the structure of all Ika area

Ebo is not part of Igbo culture reason they don't bear Ebonka or similar names. There are many cultures and words Igbo people borrowed from Anioma. We borrowed from Igbo and they borrowed from us.

I make it a point not to call anybody names on nl,but you test the patience of saints nodcock.
I'm from Nnewi,we don't have any historical connection with Ika or Idu that I know of,Ebo is the word for tribe or large family my side.Shut the eff up if you don't know what you're about.
Last I checked,you were Bini.When did you turn Ika?

Igboid:

Past Deins of Agbor

(i) Dein Ebonka (1270-1307),(ii) Owuwu (1307-1333), (iii) Akina (1333-1460), (iv) Agho (1460-1518), (v) Oguade (1518-1594), (vi) Aisama (1594-1630), (vii) Oseh (1630-1650), (viii) Adigwe (1650-1740), (ix) Dein Modu (1650-1795), (x) Dein Obanor (1795-1795), (xi) Dein Igbe Nije (1795-1885), (xii) Dein Odin (1885-1890), (xiii) Dein Gbenoba (1890-1911), (xiv) Dein Agbobu (1911-1935), (xv) Obi Gbewoba (1935-1967), (xvi) Dein Ikenchuku (1967-1979)(Information obtained from Omania Magazine).


Notice that the first Dein, Ebonka, meaning kindred is greater, clearly had an Igbo name, before the Edo corruption of names started. And we can still see Adigwe( clearly Igbo) surfacing in list, despite strong Edo influence in the area.

I remember asking Agbontaen how exactly did the first Dein of Agbor end up with an Igbo name, when Igbos are supposed to be migrants in the area, he as usual, went livid like most irrational Igbophobic folks, and deflected the question and finally ended up arguing that Ebonka is not an Igbo name, , that it's an Ika name.

PabloAfricanus:


You my friend, like the rest of you fabricators of history, are simply living in denial.
And no, you don't even know if I'm Igbo, I am here because I am interested in Nigerian history.
If you visit other Hausa and Yoruba threads you will probably find my posts there.
I just find this whole Ikwerre, Anioma "Igbo" denial thing curious and uncalled for.

It has been pointed out to you severally, that there is no need for any "Igbo" denial or acceptance, it is simply a futile exercise.
You can and should be anything you want, no one really cares.
But in your quest for "identity", "glory" or whatever, historical accuracy is paramount cos you and your people are NOT the only ones in the picture. Other people who might or might not share ancestry with you are involved.
For example, there is no way you can talk about the presidency of Nigeria without including Fulani dominance or discuss the Nigerian military without including Hausa/Fulani dominance. These are HISTORICAL FACTS. A few hundred years from now, Tiv people who are yet to produce a President or COAS cannot start rewriting the history of Nigerian Presidency or military high command to SUIT THEIR INTERESTS.
Hope you get the point.

Let me summarize for you.
The slogan on that Ika site reads
Ali Ika Wu Ali Eze
That my friend is Igbo language, to be more specific, Southern/Owerre Igbo dialect.
It is not Edo, Urhobo, Ijaw,Igalla or Yoruba language.
The Edos do not speak that language neither do any of Ikas surrounding neighbours.
ONLY the Igbos speak that language or can understand what statement means, it has no meaning in ANY other language.

The names of your market days are Afor,Orie, Eken and Nkwor
Those are not Edo, Urhobo, Ijaw,Igalla or Yoruba market day.
Those names and market days ARE EXCLUSIVE TO Igbo people.

Your marriage rites include items such as these,
http://www.royaldiary.com.ng/royal-diaries/ika-royal-diary/151-ika-traditional-marriage-requirements-standardization-and-formalisation



The names of those items up there are NOT Edo, Igalla or Yoruba names,
those are marriage item lists in an Igbo dialect and only has meaning in the Igbo tongue.
Only Igbo people have marriage lists with those names.

Here are some of the names of your "royal fathers"



You will not find those names among the Ishans, Urhobos, Ijaws,Binis, Igallas or Yorubas.
Ikechukwu,Chukwuka, Chukwuma, Odili,Jekeme, Chukwuyerieze, Alekwe, Uche are names EXCLUSIVE to Igbos.
You can see and count for yourself...ALL Igbo names with smatterings of Edo names like Osagie and Efeizomor etc, which is to be expected seeing that historically, there have been Edo migrants and "princes" who settled and helped set up some of these "monarchies" in an otherwise gerontocratic community with no practice of monarchy. Yes, history records that most of these "kingdoms" and "kings" are recent.
Now the question is, do the presence of these Edo settlers and refugees now mean that the people they met on ground are NOW Edos?
Or did the survival of Igbo language and cultural practice point to the fact that the NATIVES were Igbo speaking people from day one?

To insinuate that such names were adopted after saying that Ikas hold Igbos in contempt and openly have a derogatory name "Igbons" for Igbo people...only highlights the level of your dishonesty and self deceit.
Why did the Ogonis, Ibibios, Efiks, Annangs, Ekoi, Igallas and Idomas also adopt "Igbo" names? Why ONLY Ikas/Aniomas?
Are you implying the Igbos invaded and conquered Ikas?
Or the proud "Bini" culture and language of Ikas gave way to the inferior "Igbon" culture and language of Igbos...whom you love to hate?

Go to Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu, there are full blooded Igbo people bearing Ibibio names such as Inyang, Igalla names like Achadu, Attah etc.
There was and still is an ongoing process of inter ethnic mixture,marriage and cultural exchanges.
The fact that there are people bearing Edo names in Ika land is living proof of Edo mixture and cultural influence.
That is not a bad thing and is only following the course of history.
IT IS TO BE EXPECTED as no ethnic group is 100% pure.
But is that proof of Edo origin or proof that the over 90% of Ikas who bear Igbo their NATIVE Igbo names are now Edos or only starting "adopting" Igbo names?
Also stop with that "Igbon" nonsense...that is simply the ways Ikas pronounce Igbo words, just like the ways Owerri people, Awka people pronounce Igbo words....hence a dialect.
For example, in Ika dialect, Ikechukwu becomes Ikenchukwu, Okpara becomes Okparan, Igbo becomes Igbon etc
It is just an example of Ika and Anioma bigotry to regard "Igbon" as a derogatory name, just the same way Onitsha and their Oguta and Ogbaru cousins call other Igbo people "onye Igbo" like its meant to be an insult.
You all conveniently forget, that "Igbo" is the name these "Igbo" people have always called themselves.
Their names and towns all have "Igbo" in it, IgboUzor (Ibusa), Igbokwe, AmaIgbo, Igboezue, Obigbo etc. So the joke is on you actually.

So you see, based on these evidences, it is clear that Ikas speak an Igbo dialect, practice Igbo culture and tradition,adopted Edo style monarchies and till today have more in common with other Igbo speaking peoples than their Edo,Ishan, Igalla, Urhobo, Itshekiri and Ijaw neighbours.
Those are the facts I and others have been trying to point out to you guys.
And this Igbo presence in Ika was not as a result of invasion, colonization, trading or Christian evangelization like you guys are trying to portray it, neither was it recent. That would be rewriting history...which is why I am here to call you guys to order.

Ofcourse I expect you to dismiss all these evidences and go on repeating the same nonsense...

Efeizomor has always maintained his ancestry to be Nri. That's one royal who won't hear all this Benin story.The edoid name came about as a result of Benin influence during the heyday of the empire,not cos of any blood relation.

As much as I don't like much of his reign,his was less a glorious reign than that of his father,Ume-Ozuligbo,and nothing to compare his grandfather's, Eze Ogidi 1,but he did try and we're just not ready to take on his son,the crown prince.
Guy has less a good character than even his late father.

helpishere:
My take again on this topic is this, if a king of a kingdom dies and a total stranger inherits the kingdom, ie, Emir of Kano, Sultan of Sokoto, Ooni of Ife, Alafin of Oyo, these are no kingdoms. These kings are turn by turn. Bayero's son did not inherit the Emirship of Kano, ditto Sijuade's son but the title was given to another family who was not even the first son, Dasuki was deposed as Sultan and another took over, not his son but a cousin or relative. But the Oba of Benin cannot be selected. The day the first son of the Oba is born, that is the day the next king is known. And he will be trained in the ways and manners of his people. There are only two kingdoms in the world: The Benin Kingdom and the United Kingdom. These two kingdoms interface with each other in values and traditions though the Benin Kingdom is higher. They have Prince of Wales and Edaiken of Uselu. These posts are for crown Princes, waiting to take over the throne though Prince Charles don tire for him mama. The brothers of both Kings are made Dukes and Enogies to rule over smaller villages. When the brother of Queen Elizabeth abdicated the throne, he was replaced by a lady, Queen Elizabeth. That is an abomination in Benin Kingdom. When Oba Ovoranmen was banished to Calabar, his son did nothing but waited until his father's death before he became King. And from the first king to the 40th king of Benin Kingdom, they are from Father to Son just like the kingdom of Judah in the Bible whose kings were Father to Son while Israel's kings were by selection. The Sultan, Kano Emir and Ooni are political titles, they never knew that they will be king at any point in time. These are the Nairabet winners. They gambled and won and they make themselves visible by commenting on every issue. You dont hear the Oba of Benin do that. He has Chiefs from the Palace that speaks on his behalf. And these Chiefs are also from known Houses who inherited the titles from their fathers. Benin Empire was visible up to Ghana. Togo's Presidents always come to Benin City because the Eyademas claim that they come from Benin. There are three Universities of Benin in West Africa, One in Togo, One in Benin Republic and one in Benin City. The Benin Republic was known as Dahomey but they later changed their name to Benin to recognize their origin. Benin Empire might be small but it was commanding a lot of kingdoms and peoples. The United Kingdom was less than 45m people but they were in control of India comprising of Bangladesh, Pakistan and India which in today's census figures are more than 2.5 b people today. A small 3 countries in One with less than 45m people were controlling over 5 b people including Nigeria, Canada, Kenya and many countries of their COMMONWEALTH. What led to the fall of the British Empire is linked to the curse that was placed on the kingdom by the Benin Iwebo shrines for invading the Benin Kingdom and carting away all their artefacts both from the Holy Aruosa and the king's palace and the banishment of the king into exile. If you read Jeremiah in the Bible, that scenario was described as King Nebuchadnezzer of Babylon who was sent to destroy the kingdom and take the king into exile. The effect of that curse led the king of to abdicate the throne because of a divorced American lady.. And the current quagmire facing Prince Charles who is not preferred to be king but the grandson. Queen Elizabeth came to Benin City in the 60s to beg Oba Akenzua for forgiveness and I have no information if it was done else they would have voluntarily returned the artefacts they stole from the kingdom. Make I go rest. Merry Christmas to all citizens from the Bini Kingdom and long live the 40th Oba of Benin, Ewuare 11 the Great.

Dunno where you rats crawl out from,with the crap you spew.Where's one to even start responding to this piece of garbage here?.
A few corrections,just for the records.
Prince Ogun,who became Ewuare 1,did not wait for his brother,Uwaifiokhun,to die before ascending the throne.He simply murdered him.
Queen Elizabeth II never had a brother,but a younger sister,Margaret.The queen succeeded her father,George VI,who in turn succeeded his brother,Edward VIII,who abdicated.
All European monarchies have Crown Princes,from the Iberian peninsula to Scandinavia.
Having a crown prince succeed to the throne,doesn't a kingdom make however.

As to the OP,stupidity at its peak.

Anyways,if this is about taking some fools for a ride, carry on.After all,like the Bourbon kings,they never learn.

This news has not been confirmed,but assuming it to be true,Ubah is about to take some people for a ride.
Less than five weeks ago,we all gathered,with the Igwe n Obis,at the Nnewi High School and declared that no Nnewi man will seriously contest the 2017 election in Anambra state.That Obiano should run for a second term,after which the field is cleared for us n those from our metropolitan towns,under the aegis of the Old Nnewi Division.

So,if any if you takes this serious,either for or against,you're on your own.

Idiots.
The National Assembly cannot remove a sitting governor,even when they take over functions of a state assembly due to internal crises.
Heck,they cannot even amend an appropriation law duly passed by the assembly.

Ejanla07:



Mr you re wrong. The okoli family at umunealam umudim? There grandfather used to be the igwe of Nnewi


The Obi of Nnewi Obi Okoli in1780s lost his throne when inside palace politics that hinged on tradition edged him out. Traditional royal law had it that the Crown Prince must perform the funeral rights of the late Obi before he can be crowned, Obi Okoli was absent and arrived home only after the late Obi Okoli 1st was buried. His Uncle (The late Obi Okoli the 1st younger brother) performed the funeral rights in his stead and took over as Igwe Nnewi he could not be enthroned as an Obi (which means the first son). The Obi Okoli royal lineage was forced into exile, they got refuge at Umune-Alam in Umudim, Nnewi where they still are to this day. The Obi Okoli family still bears the Ofor Nnewi till this day.



Nnewi monarchy practice true federalism. Four town make up Nnewi and each town have its own obi


Obi of. Nnewichi
Obi of umudim
Obi of uruagu
Obi of otolo (being the eldest double as igwe)


The igwe does not have jurisdiction outside his Otolo town. He can only liase through the obi of each community...

The second part of this comment,you got absolutely right.Nnewi has been a federation long before the Americans learnt what it means.

As to the first,dude get off whatever it is you've been smoking.No offense.
There had never been an Obi/Igwe named Okoli.Don't know where you got that nonsense
Okpala abdicated for his brother,Digbo,cos he was a weak n ineffectual ruler,but his family retained the ofo.
Digbo's sons were Otolo n Ikwuabor,,who today make up Otolo community,along with some latter day migrants.
Nnofo it was that usurped his brother/nephew,Enem's throne,but that was down the line of Otolo's lineage.They form the Egbu Umuenem village in Otolo today.Hence,Igwe Orizu is 17th(or is it 20th) of Nnofo lineage.
Please,if you know nothing of Nnewi history,try to find out,else you inadvertently try to rewrite our history.

Ejanla07:



Its not autonomous community. . . . Nnewi gave birth to 4 sons. . Otolo. . Uruagu. Umudim and Nnewichi. . According to seniority.

Each community hav obi. Who is independent of the igwe. .


The obi of otolo being the eldest of the community double as the igwe of Nnewi. .

Wrong.
4 semi-autonomous communities.All tracing lineage to Nnewi and his brother.
Otolo being the lead community, is not the eldest though.The descendants of Nnewi's eldest son are found in Umunneala,Umudim.They hold the Ofo Nnewi.

@OP,the Igwe is not a "supreme" ruler.He can do very little without the concurrence of the other three Obis.His ultimate authority only extend to Otolo,his community.

Rivers state indigenes were murdered on d orders of Wike,houses burnt,many maimed,APC opposition members murdered,maimed or driven out of d state yet d cattle rearer sits in Aso rock going to 2yrs since Wike started his murdering spree,neither concerned nor perturbed.
After being played by a child by Saraki,treasonable acts by Fayose,amongts other unlawful activities,and now running a state within a state by Wike,I started doubting the mental and intellectual capacity of PMB to govern Nigeria.A dying YarAdua did far better.

Not surprised at your high IQ wailing. Your wife is from Alor, where are u from?

Ngige's record in Anambra remains unbeaten. Real Anambra people, just as in business are interested in RESULTS not party labels. Your corrupt looting pdp and agpa had nothing to show on ground until Ngige came in.

And NO ONE can tell Ndi-Anambra, that they did not see what they saw in Ngige's legendary performance, with their own eyes.

Your corrupt pdp types always equate rigging with popularity. Fact is that your patently corrupt pdp had never won any free and fair election in Nigeria from 1999 to date. All you people know is looting, rigging, killing, beheading as your overlord, Murderer Wike has demonstrated over and over again.

For real Anambra people who are interested in RESULTS and PERFORMANCE and not your useless party labelling, we could careless.

Look at this agafu.
Do I resemble a PDP fan to you?.
Btw, I'm typing this from my house in Anaedo.Who are these "real" Anambra people interested in Ngige/APC that you mention?.Let them come out and try to propagate their party here na.
Uchu

Osyabj:
All the pdp erats, many of them are NOT from Anambra State are just wasting their energy as usual.

Before Edo, it was Edo is pdp and Pdp is Edo. We know the results.

Ditto Ondo State.

Fact is that, as Ngige stated he holds PHD in Anambra politics. Ngige also holds unbeaten performance record in Anambra state, especially in Idemili where is record is legendary.

When Ngige ran against Obi and all his might, depite Obi's rigging, Ngige still humbled Obi and late Dora Akunyili to win Anambra Central Senatorial as a member of the then "Yoruba party" ACN

Fact is that as Governor of Anambra state, from Idemili, the 2 Idemili LGAs together account for nearly 50% of Anambra voters, Ngige or any APC candidate he supports will always win any free and fair election in Anambra, his membership of another " Yoruba or Hausa party" notwithstanding.

Here are the facts:

First, as we speak the real Anambra people on ground, are witnesssing with their own eyes, the APC's rehabilitation of Enugu -Onitsha Express way abandoned by pdp/Apga for over 10 years.

Further, APC has just launched a primary school children daily feeding program and by the time the election is ready by late 2017, those parents of 100's of 1000's of those school kids, will decide who the next Anambra Governor will be, not the pdp/apga e-rats on nairaland.

In addition, Obiano is not a fool. He knows that absent his decamping to APC he will loose a free and fair election to Idemili backed Ngige political machine, unlike the last "election" where GEJ/Obi used every Police, Army and DSS at their disposal to write results and impose his puppet, Obianao on Anambra. This time the federal forces will be neutral and APC's work on ground will speak for itself in 2017.

So despite all the ranting of the corrupt pdp/apga erats APC is poised to take Anamra with or without Obiano. And the pdp/Apga e-rats will again wail APC rigging and the world beat will go on and heaven will not fall.

Real Anambra people Kwenu. Idemili Kwenu. Igbo Kwenu. Kwezue nu!!!!

Idenmili holds 50% of which state's vote?.
Ah,naira land of kids and those of low IQ.
My wife is from Alor, related to Ngige in fact.I dare him to contest,see if he'll come third in the two Idenmili LGs,not to talk of the whole state.
Why beg Obiano to decamp to APC if he's so sure if his party and his "PH.D"?
