OfoIgbo:
Another concocted tale from www.edoworld.....

Eze China has never been a Benin name.

Secondly, in ancient times, Nri-IGBO people were the royal lineages of all the monarchies in Igbo and Igodomigodo.

It would have been a huge and unacceptable sacrilege for a non-Igbo to form the royal lineage of Onitsha. Definitely IMPOSSIBLE.

Nri was already the cultural and political overlord of Benin in those times, and there were lots of NRI titled men perambulating all across Benin territory, so an Eze China would have been one of such people.

Onitsha is crawling with lots of Nri-introduced cultural practices, one of which is the fact that Obis of Onitsha were crowned by the Nris, up until the 1960s.

All these your outlandish tales are just fictional tales.

NRI looms large over the Igbo cultural tapestry, thus making it extra difficult for any history falsifiers and interlopers to break in and introduce fake tales

have been following your talk for long but I just refuse to reply because I feel that

Igbo's have nothing to say when it come to history

Igbo's from time past are just nothing when opening the pages of raw African history.


anyway I want you to answer this question

where is the oldest Igbo kingdom located ?

who was it first king ?

how far did the kingdom spread ?

it's really funny


yorubas are truly confuse with their history


please OP remove Egbeta and usen of edo state from the list because they were are not Yoruba community and weren't founded by Yorubas

Wetin Benin no go see for Nigeria[/quote]what do you mean with this?

N3cR0mAZc3R:
I heard that most niger Congo languages share a common linguistic ancestry so that might be the reasons for some of the similar sounding names.

but that does not make Benin an Igbo nation

Onijagidijagan:
Ain't no myth.
The biggest myth in the world is when a kaladaran sentenced to death and became king upon getting to Ife.
Only Edo people are made to believe that...but when the truth surfaces you have to subdue your ego to admit the facts

who be this na
?

Wisemfon:
Benin city when compare to London!!!
When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.
In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain
Lourenco Pinto observed : “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”
In contrast, London at the same time is
described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.
The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.
what is the story now
Can we still claim these ?

lovely

Onijagidijagan:
Ife is the origin of Bini monarch

how

Onijagidijagan:
Oba of Bini is a Yoruba man

please do well to prove

Igie4kings:
You think you are playing right?
Now receive this: you, your father and the people you represent within your community are all useless. They are going to redeem themselves by stoning you death.
How can you be this careless as to insult Oba of Benin because you feel you must type?

please leave all this maggot on the thread

they are looking for a way to replicate what they are doing to the various king with the Oba of Benin but it will never work .

it only a child that insult his parent that try to do same to others parents because the foolish child is not well brought up.

jerseyboy:
SLAVE

look at who is calling someone slave, you whose ancestors were weakling and coward that could not stand that might of benin.

it's obviously u are pain because Benin taught your ancestors lessons of strongness

in a long run "goat can never give birth to lions" so that cowardice and foolishness that was in your ancestors is obviously flowing and dining with you

jerseyboy:
SLAVE

you can't just mind your business if you have no respect for your king that it's not surprising but that is what Afonjas do best friend

jerseyboy:
This particular Oba is a nuisance. He should be deposed. The whole institution is ubiquitous and an anachronism. Their ancestors oppressed and misruled us. They have no place in a true REPUBLIC.

your father well well

StaffofOrayan:
And where you come from, your elders support the break up of this failed project?
MUMU

But it rightly describes them. Afonja Republic!

Nigerians are tired of speech, they need good governance
I would rather turn off my radio than to listen to those crape words of his.

StaffofOrayan:
E ti ya were sirs

And where exactly would the war come from? Would the rich northerners allow all the soldiers guarding them go fight in the south?

yorubas can never grow up with balls in tact

Nigeria have nothing to celebrate tomorrow

jlinkd78:

abeg tell them say make the president and him speech pack well go that side I nor fit talk!!!

prekumohtim:
Don't let them read this your nonsense write up. If an Ikwerre man reads this your statement , it won't go down well with you

ok thank you dear I don't have time to argue

sofiscatedmoron:
[s][/s]

U are the pulling your propaganda to yourself, no ikwerri attribute their culture or history to bini,, and nothing relates bini with ikwerri an igbo subgroup,, rather than cooked up stories and propaganda

so relax yourself from the issue please

Tareq1105:
Just as the Benin see Ile Ife as their root.

Oga no come bring your myths come to Benin Abeg

na only for Afonja republic you go hear say person use chain come down from heaven after he overtake he brother wen drunk on the way to earth.

that got me thinking that there are alcohol sellers on the way from heaven to earth

bhmw:
It is the truth.

truth is the pillar by which strong relationship are built

Freemason1:
All you Nairaland half-baked intellectuals. Why would he be pained that any Ikwerre man would choose to identify with the Benin monarch? How does that increase the money in his pocket. The few Ikwerre who claim that cannot even win a scientific debate about their origin. Lmao. The Ikwerre language is an Igboid language and has no single semblance to Edoid languages. It’s just like some Igbos who claim Jewish defendants. It’s just plain stupidity. In the altar of science, your gimmicks here do not hold water.

Nigerians shout and shout and claim and counter claim origins due to perceived advantages linked to the abundance of crude oil in the Niger Delta. Crude oil is fast becoming obsolete. In exactly 46 years, the world over would be short of crude oil. Everyone is ditching fossil fuel for renewable energy. So what’s this childish frenzy? You lots need to plan for your lives and stop this childish tantrums here. Stop the bickering. Worry about your families and your futures.

then advice him to let Benin and ikwerre be.
if ikwerre people decide to be with Benin I strongly believe he don't have any right to say otherwise.

please advice him to ikwerre alone if it doesn't add money to his pocket like you said

OfoIgbo:
Below is a link to show that Benin people have been making secret moves to convince someone these Ikwerre non-entities about their Benin roots.
So don't come here to proclaim innocence, or give the impression that Benin has nothing to do with the identity crisis that we are currently observing there.

Portuguese of the 1400s and the British of the early 1900s have already born witness to Nri's cultural overlordship over Benin. Need I say more?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5RzzIf4waY&t=1457s

simply put " you are pained" because the ikwerre people reject nri and choose benin. I have no time to discuss this with you

that video is from one of the leader of the Great Benin descendants forum you obviously don't have anything to prove please am done with you.
