technically you can mention Anioma without Agbor
A- Aniocha

I - Ika, which i guess u can place these bush people, oh i see is it the bush that made you say they can feed the whole igboland? ok bush= fertile area cheesy
O-Oshimili where the great NZeogwu comes from


Infact i will be campaigning for Oshimili state from now on no longer anioma state cos i dont want to share a state with such bush inferiority complex people, tufiakwa. chineke ekwe kwala ihe ojoor. OSHIMILI STATE
There's no difference between the claims of Ika people Oshimili people. The only difference is one is in the water and one is on fertile land.

When an average Yoruba person comes from the West it's like they've come from a wort torn area into Switzerland. Once the Yoruba man sets eyes on an Igbo woman that they dash 'im the beast inside is calmed and he becomes a civilized Yoruba citizen of Alaigbo, same for when a Yoruba woman and an Igbo man. This is why Yoruba people are chasing Igbo issues up and down nairaland because they've heard through the grapevine. . . . .

Nobody wants Yoruba people going anywhere, in short they're not allowed. When Alaigbo is declared their can be used culture for tourism, 'come and see Yoruba culture in the only stable country it's practiced in'. Igboland will give them some land. Cha-Ching!!!

grin, Agbor is a very pompous clan, everyone around them have a sort of inferiority complex to them to point that some communities will introduce themselves to an Agbor person by explaining that they are from the bush, even agbontaen is constantly claiming Agbor even though he is Owa. Igbanke is seen as bush by the Agbor and therefore they are seen as beneath them, there's no need to lie, but the same way the Igbanke decided to be carved out of Asaba would be the same way Ozarra should have requested the same.

Anyway it's tiring hearing from people who have probably never met an Anioma or Ika person, never been to a Anioma or Ika meeting, never been to an Anioma town, never witnessed Anioma culture or probably have never heard an Anioma dialect give comments on what they "know" Ika and Anioma is and what it isn't just because some loud mouth nobody's who call themselves "Ika" have no job's but to write fairytales online.

Let's settle the issue now: Go to an Arochukwu village and ask them what they call Culture and Customs, then go to an Agbor village and ask them what they call Culture and Customs. After that, rest.

PhysicsMHD:
Oza nogogo has not been absorbed.

Oza nogogo is Bini. When I tried to rightfully claim them as Bini (which they are) somebody here fought very hard for them to be denied of who they are based on claims of some imperial lordship over them by a certain kingdom! I'm starting to think that this is motivated more by mineral royalties than common sense.

Somebody is talking about Benin kingdom when I am instead talking about the Bini ethnicity and I think it is a deliberate attempt to mislead. Under any reasonable definition of ethnicity, the oppressed Oza nogogo people are of the Bini stock and not of the Anioma sub-group of the Igbos. This whole claim of them being "Anioma" is absurd. Anioma is an identity created only a few decades back but it did not exist prior to the 20th century and did not even exist at the beginning of the 20th century. This claim simply has no basis. There is no way that they are absorbed when they are clearly Bini.
Why aren't they part of Edo State? Anyway this issue is about Edo migrants that have been absorbed in other communities with some of their names and government left behind.
CultureRe: Delta Igbo, Bendel Igbo: What Does That Even Mean. by ezeagu(m): 12:49am On Jul 22, 2011
Since Ugbodu is surrounded by the Igbo-speaking Aniomas, it did not take much time before the Igbo Language started to interfere greatly on the people’s language. Accordingly, Igbo influence steadily and progressively made what has now become permanent inroad and considerable impact on the socio-cultural life as well as linguistic orientation of the Ugbodu people. With this, the Edo influence began to wane, resulting in the adoption of Igbo names in preference to Edo names. Thus from the middle of the 19th century, the general shift was from Edo to Igbo names. This can be seen in the names of Olozas, who ruled between the middle of the 19th century and late 20th century such as Dike, Ochei, Ezenweani and Isinyemeze.
Another factor that also contributed to the decline of Olukumi, according to findings, is that there was a time in the past when an understanding of the Edo or Igbo language, was considered as a status symbol. According to an elder in the town, “An Oluku mi who spoke the two languages then was considered superior to others because it meant that he had travelled wide. This was the inferiority complex our people unwittingly created for themselves which we are trying to correct now.”

It mustn't have been a community made up of the same substance as the Benin migrants were (War generals) for their voice to be so tiny in Anioma, their language is even considered extinct.

Somebody was going to have to pay.

The idea that "somebody was going to have to pay" to justify taking fellow citizens money from a certain side doesn't work.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=458875.msg8763979#msg8763979 date=1311283224]the punitive attack would have been before the british one.

i cant remember what it was supposed to be about but i think there was a rebellion of some sort.[/quote]There's always been some sort of tension between Benin and Agbor especially as the chief state of the Ika. The rebellion wouldn't have led to Benin attacking communities that have been founded and trained by it's own former war generals I don't think.

I believe that Ika and any other clan group in what is now called Anioma were too busy guarding their own to be sending their warriors to go and fight for Benin. Whatever 'Anioma' soldiers there were in the Benin army were no longer Anioma but assimilated Benin citizens. Also there are other non-Igbo clans that could be called to fight for Benin.
