there is a rising tension in orhionmwon lga after herdsmen were reported to have killed several scores of people in ugo niyekorhionmwon town


several communities in orhionmwon east have been made to come up together in an effort to see this people gone from their region but this has also lead to the violence even against every normal Hausa man carrying his normal job

I dont know if am to say this is not yet verified because am currently there( am from orhionmwon and I just visited today )


so reader sorry if I can't add any paper report now but I will try to personally take some shots to add to the report

seunlayi:
read the story Oyo and ogun are on the same point. He should be law abiding and no confrontational movements

ok

we hear

no company can say there is no available space for an indigene


at least even if the indigene is not certified but there must be some work that require anyone as long as the person have the willingness to work


this said people are looking down on the indigenes and trust me.......


it is a time bomb that will surely explode in no time

You are doing well just to try and prove a point that Luck Eluonye Onyenuchea Irabor is not an Igbo man but an Edo man. Well, let me just tell you that if a man's name is what really determines where he comes from, then most people who claim Igbo, are not Igbos. Do you know that Edo people also bear Obaze which is a popular name in Anambra state? Oseloka is also a name among the Benin people but is also a name among the Anambra people. Udofia is an Akwa-Ibom name but most Igbos especially from Abia state bear same name. Idoko is a name amongst the Idoma people of Benue state but is also popular amongst the Nsukka people of Enugu state. Ada is a name amongst the Igbos but is also a very popular name among the Idoma people of Benue state. I can go on and on to give you examples. If I should ask you to tell me the meaning of Obaze in Igbo, you can't same way you don't know the meaning of the Benin version. Therefore, saying that Leo Irabor from Agbor is an Edo man because he bears the name Irabor is same as saying Oseloka Obaze from Anambra is also an Edo man going by the name he bears. My point therefore is that these names may sound alike or have same spelling but meanings could differ depending on dialects.

Oga u don't get this thing right !!!

am telling that the name Irabor/erabor means the same thing in Benin ,Esan ,agbor,Urhobo


do your research and come back to me

talking about obaze in Anambra is just funny for you not to acknowledge the influence of Benin in that state especially when the name is the person surname.

or is it not surname that shows one origin?


you self funny I swear

Sissyisy:
Lol...my mum's maiden name is Igbenedion, from agbor-nta..she is full blooded ika woman.... when I hear names like isibor,owabor,irabor,osain,olumu,Adaigbe and the rest..you are either from edo or ika... Irabor is common name in agbor

I lived in boji boji owa for period before left being that am originally from orhionmwon LGA

you see those names you mention?


they are typical edo names which means exactly the same thing in both tribes just like the original name of God in agbor ( osolobue) which is a perfect replica of osanobua in Benin

the people arguing are people who depend on what they read online

the affinity shared between Benin and agbor is undeniable. this is why we have this name similarities

the only way I could have overlooked this, is maybe Irabor is his middle name not when it is his surname and some unlettered persons will want to argue Irabor ancestry

but my question in all this is


since all this crisis began, why have the ooni kept quiet? even after different village head was killed


now someone is rising with the anger inflicted, he is coming out to say blahblahblah!!!!!


the matter self tire me


why some people like to be problem and bad head

gidgiddy:
Dont get it twisted. Irabor is a popular Edo surname, everyone knows that. Agbor has boundary with Edo state has an Edo minority. Now when you hear that someone from Agbor has a surname "Irabor", the logical conclusion is that such a person is from the edoid minority in Agbor. Trying the theorise that maybe "Irabor" is Ika version of "Iroabuo" is mere speculation. You have to go with what you know, not what you dont know.

Has Agbor got boundary with Edo? Yes

Has Agbor got an Edo minority? Yes

How do you identify the Edo minority in Agbor? Their surnames

Is Irabor an Edo surname? Yes

Until General Irabor says he is an Igbo man with his own mouth, the logical conclusion is that he is an Edo man.

the attach by force syndrome of most Igbos is disgusting

even non Edo people know say the name na Edo name( even his surname name for matter ) but they will always want to claim it even when they know innerly that the name is not theirs

Akaujaa:
You just fooled yourself with this lengthy bullshit. Do your research well before jumping into blind conclusion. To start with, Leo Irabor's full names is Lucky Eluonye Onyenuchea Irabor. He was born in Aliokpu, Agbor, Ika LGA, Delta State. Your argument holds no water because as Igbo, if my father has a good friend from Akwa-Ibom for instance and decides to name me after that person from Akwa-Ibom as a way of respecting their friendship, does that therefore mean I'm no longer Igbo because I've grown with that name and my children and grandchildren children now bear it as surname? We have many names like that across Igboland. That's even assuming Irabor is a Benin name as you claim. Irabor as a name might also be ancenstral to Benin people with same spelling and pronunciation but it doesn't mean the same thing. The people of Delta North like Agbor, Asaba, Umunede, Igbodo, Obiaruku, Ukwuani, Illah, Onicha Olona, Ibusa etc have a special way of speaking Igbo and bearing Igbo names in a mutilated form. For Instance, they pronunce Onyema as Onyeme, Onyeabuo as Onyeabo, Chinedu as Chiedu etc. So, Irabor in Agbor can't be the same thing with the one the Benin bear, the spelling and pronunciation notwithstanding. Irabor in Agbor, going by the way they speak their Igbo, could be a way of saying Iruabuo(Irabo) or Ibo obo/Ira obo(vengeance). So, Irabo or Irabor as the case may be in the Igbo speaking people of Agbor can't be the same Irabor amongst the Edo or Benin. Let's even assume it's same thing, names can be borrowed and interchanged. That doesn't make you less of the person you really are, regarding your root.

Oga you dey talk trash !!


so your dad go change he own name( being your surname ) because he love akwa ibom name abi ?

you need to learn mr man

his surname is Irabor

which other explanation you need ?

elvisco10:
b4 u start talking ..try ask..if irabor mean something in agbor language b4 saying edo nd so..irabor is pure ika name

Oga am now telling you that Irabor means the same thing in all Edo tribe that answer it be Irabor or erabor

all this your talks nor mean any thing to me

Whiteangel1234:
Eluonye Onyenauchea is an Igbo name

I guess Leo Irabor is His Alias


Wish him the best but I think he is appointed specifically to tackle the new Biafra uprising from the East ,

my guy ( sorry I mistake) Mr man you dull sha!!

so Irabor when be he surname don change to alias now abi ?

abi nor be your surname dey show your origin again ?

seriously I think u are not Igbo, you just want to cause trouble.

if this news is legit,

then!

I have no problem with Yoruba not being courageous, that one na their problem to solve

but my problem here is the way and manner these northern fools go about everywhere spilling sheet that they owns this country


if this madness is not corrected on time, very soon, it will be a bigger problem considering their low level of reasoning that they will be passing on to their incoming like_mind cow that will be birthed as child .

I think Liverpool is winning this tonight

wahala!!!!!

I believe the only reason Chelsea will this match is because the players will want to prove to the coach that they are good

OneTemplate:
You guys should stop putting mouth in Yoruba affairs only to then sound ignorant and an unwanted nuisance. Gani is being specifically tasked to rise to the challenges of his Aare Ona Kakanfo title.

Giwa is shading Gani Adam's because, like most Yorubas, he knows the current Aare Ona Kakanfo is a compromised politician more than a deserving and honorable holder of that esteemed Yoruba title.

This is why Tinubu never f.cks around with these fake cultural and sectional leaders, including the likes of Yinka Odumakin etal, who are all wannabe politicians and government contractors.

so who do you think among Yoruba that is not compromise?

or better still

who will you place in Adams stead ?

am asking you

am asking you now Oga Giwa

1 can you sacrifice yourself like the original Giwa we know ?

2 do you think someone can just wake up one morning thinking to fight for people who will still go back to betray him ?

you OP self, you go try am ? being a Yoruba man for instance.

[quote author= post=98481041]Otondo Chukwueloka Obaze is not from Onitsha
Stop killing yourself[/quote]Oga so ancestral people for onitsha nor dey go stay another parts of Anambra abi ?

you too dull

so if you also see an igala man in other parts of Anambra now you go still dey argue blindly


mteew!!

and please answer this question let's be done with this


1 what is meaning of Obaze in Igbo ?

2 is Obaze not his surname ?

davidnazee:
please what is the meaning of Okoro, Obaze and Osekola in Igbo?? I really want to know.

this Obaze for instance that is been seen in Anambra shows that its only a foolish mind that will try to cover Benin in onitsha

in Benin will have several names with that same form eg

Obaze
osaze
Iduoze
Edoze
Erhaze


etc


personally I don't know the Igbos are arguing

just let them tell us the meaning in their try

davidnazee:
You forgot to add, in bini side side of Edoid group, Irabor is pronounced as Erabor..

I wonder why people argue blindly.. The name clearly proves he is of Edo origin.. He may be born in Delta and maybe his father, but his grandfather or prior ancestors relocated from Benin to Agbor..

I personally decided not to add it

ok let me just add it

Mikecold:
ofure

anyway I will not stress more with you on your raised issue but if you have lived in and understand Benin,you will know what am talking about.




dooh!!!! ovbi Esan aigbe!

Mikecold:
ofure

any way I will not stress more with you on your raised issue but if you have lived in and understand Benin you will know what i am saying

Mikecold:
proud one

vbo dia yee!!?

Mikecold:
let me correct this fallacy that Benin not spoken well is another tribe.

Esan dialet is distinct on its own, i can hear an estako or ora man speak and understand alot even though i am Esan (this doesn't mean ora language is Esan not spoken well ).

Bini itself got alot of fused words with Yoruba by the oranmiyan connection which doesn't mean Bini isn't distinct

First of all are Esan ?

hammerDK:
CAN I ASK YOU A SIMPLE QUESTION?




ARE AGBOR BENIN CLAN OR ANIOMA CLAN?


Y DO U LIKE TO CONFUSE YOURSELF?

go ask the average Agbor man your question


have followed your argument and I think you are carried by what you read online

no need to follow you talk much

Abeg nor mention me again Abeg

congratulations to our southern brother for the elevation may God give him wisdom to serve the people rather than being an instrument for destruction.
secondly
for those of you arguing the name " Irabor"....
the name is 100% Edoid word which is sometimes pronounce slightly differently by the various Edoid tribes
for example in Benin there is a saying that " the wrong speaking of Benin is what Esan is made up of" also " an Urhobo man begin to speak Benin when it become difficult for him."
this particular name is common among all the Edoid tribe just that the first letter "I" is mostly change among them.
if you observe the early obis in Agbor and their palace chiefs, they mostly had Edo names and some of them still retain their surname till date just like this Irabor case
the population among Ikas may have been another dialect but the royalty is of Edo origin
so don't be surprise seeing an Ika/ Agbor man answering Osagie, Irabor, Ogbemudia, Eboigbodin, Ilahor, Erhahon, Ovia etc as surname because you will agree with me that surname tells a man true origin
similar names in Benin are
Erabor
Okunbor
Idubor
Osunbor
Otabor
Ogunbor
Ogbebor
Edobor
Igiebor
Esezobor
Ozabor
etc
let me keep it meaning first
if an Igbo man says the name is their own let him tell us the meaning
so we can be done with this

in this case of argument, the different between an ika man answering an Edoid name and an Edoid man answering a Yoruba name is that in the case of Ika Urhobo, Esan Benin etc tribe answering Irabor, Ogbebor etc, it means the same exact thing among the tribe

but in the case of an Edo man answering a Yoruba name, it either his father was a Yoruba man or the person is totally a Yoruba person or the parent( Edo) of the child being in love with a particular Yoruba name decided to name his child the said name for example MODUPE( child's name and also Yoruba word) Ozolua ( surname and Edo word) I.e Modupe Ozolua.

and no one can argue the fact the surname shows one true origin

just like Davido being in love with his mothers name Imade( Edo ) decided to name his child but that does not change the child to Edo because Adeleke ( surname and Yoruba word ) already show the child origin.

or again, sometimes among various Nigeria tribes names can be spelt alike but mean different thing because of pronunciation eg
EZE means river in Benin but
EZE means king in Igbo

because I have come to find out that those names have no meaning in ancestral Edo language.
So if anyone have any Yoruba name answered by an Edo man let him bring it together with the meaning in both Edo and Yoruba and you will also tell us if it is the person surname or his name
