Edodefender: ndi Igbo will continue to wail till eternity after atiku wins.
You call the Benin that allowed every tribe to do what they want and speak to different languages thieves?
Every tribes know Igbo don't really need them but want their lands and oil and also because they are landlocked.
We are only uniting our brothers and you are already crying? If they aren't from Edo, they will deny it and drive us away but why are the igbos the ones crying?
Thieves, you think the world doesn't know how igbos treated folks that weren't pure igbos like them during biafra reign?
They will continue to denounce Igbo because they aren't Igbo.
OMANBALA1: Dont flatter yourself, you dont have the will nor the power to actualize your phantom dreams. Even in they heydays of Bini Chiefdom you were very little scared inconsequential village that dug a hole around itself for fear of invasion by Agbor, Igala etc. You became known after you purchased guns from Porruguese explorers.
I was going to talk about the guns they exchanged for slaves.
Then they started to invade other communities for more slaves to be exchanged for guns.
This was how they spread into other areas including Anioma.

Igbo tribe is oil Rich.
Let that sink into your head.
Oil Rich areas of Igboland were cut into Rivers state. We may even have more oil than the Ijaws.
Secondly, Igbo land is not landlocked.
We have access to sea in Opobo and Bonny Igbo speaking area.
Thirdly, if we wanted land as u claim, y are we not adding Edo and South west? cc Efewestern and Fratermathy
Efewestern: I have never denied our link with Bini, but not matter how connected we are, the Urhobos remain a unique ethnic group and it's unfair to lump them as "Edo people".
You have all the right to protect your Edo heritage, same as me, you just need to face reality, for the fact that a group of people migrated from your land doesn't make them part of your ethnic group, we all migrated from somewhere.
Happy new year BOSS.
The Oba of Bini want to be Oba of Anioma, even Onitsha.
He thinks the rest of us should be under him.
He will never be happy as long as you lot keep erecting thrones.
Did u see his body language besides the Olu of Warri.
Did u see the frantic effort to seize the Ijaw people of gele and prevent them having a King aside the Oba of Bini.
Edo, is very different from Biafra.
Edo is a call to drop your language and speak bini to become one tribe like Igbo and yoruba.
Biafra is a call to escape Hausafulani islamisation agenda and poverty.
U will not say, Urhobo people have not suffered Fulani terrorism on their land, becos we all read the news.
U will be surprise that Middle-belt would be invited to join Biafra, as Nnamdi Kanu have several alluded.
So dont take IPOB invitation of Delta personal or as an agenda, it is not.
Edo that was not invited, were the most anti-Biafra, even produced the Police commissioner that went after IPOB in Abia. i.e Bini People (Abia state Commissioner of Police (CP) Michael Ogbizi.)
Then we saw those videos on youtube of Edo people that thought they would be joining Biafra. This is mainly the Esan.
Yoruba would have been invited but they are always in bed with muslim north. Besides, their actions, the last time Ojukwu tried to reach an agreement with them for exit from Nigeria. cc fratermathy
Edodefender: This thread was created to promote Edo commonwealth unity,political and infrastructural development since there's none on nairaland.
Edoid groups are more than an ethic group, we are a race.
Let me mention some of the known ethnic group that make up our commonwealth
U SEE IGBO AND IGBOID GROUPS, U WILL DO WELL TO REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR EDO FAMILY.
DONT ADD ANY OF US INTO YOUR FANTASY.
[b] EKA (IKA)
The early people of Eka (Ika) emigrated from Benin wave by wave. The first wave was headed by a man named Eka, the founder, by whose name the land is known. Eka was the founder and first settler of Ẹvbo-Eka, afterwards Agbọr, according to the name of its conqueror, Agban, the Ezọmọ of Benin.
Agbọr, the first settlement, is the capital town of Eka. Then followed others in successive waves, but the language of the Ibos, their neighbours, especially those who migrated from Ibo land to settle with them, ultimately predominated over their original Bini tongue or speech. They however, still retain some of the customs, institutions, style of dress etc, the same ways and methods of worshipping the gods. The first Obi was sent to Agbọr by the Ọba of Benin to be their ruler. Likewise the other towns in Eka respectively.
All the Obis of Eka were installed in office by the Ọba of Benin, at Benin City, in the early days, and also given the Sword of Office (Ada) on special application. They owe allegiance to the Ọba of Benin, their overlord at Benin City.
The following are the Chief towns in Eka: Then
Agbọr Ibiri Abavo (Avbavbo) Ọwa Umunede Igbodo Utokpo Akumaze Otolokpo Emuhu Obika, the previous Obi of Agbọr was sent to Benin City to study the Local Administration in 1933, and the Obi of Ọwa was sent for the same thing in 1934. All the Ibo-speaking people on this side of the River Niger were early Bini emigrants to the various towns or places. The language of the Ibos on the other side of the River Niger, two settled with them through bartering and adventurous instincts, predominated over their original Bini tongue.[/b]
davuvid: And you, in all your wisdom decided to bring their tribes into the matter. OP never mentioned tribe, he only compared two winners of the said show and how they've fared with their lives. Word of advice; don't be a tribal bigot. This is how hate starts
Op is comparing both winners, given the same money and how far they have run with it.
He is comparing and distinguishing both tribes given the same opportunities and wat they have done with it differently.
Efe, might not be a show off like Miracle but that does not mean Miracle have more money than him.
This is wat we are trying to tell OP, to stop comparing people.
GODPUNISHUNA: Typical mindset of a Nigerian - always envious, jealous and filled with so much hate
Inferiority Complex is all over this post - comparing oneself to others and comparing people. Never being satisfied and hence never growing and moving forward in life
I wonder if Igbo people still exist aside Nnamdi Kanu.
I wonder wat sought of tribe willl constantly receive news of their young and able bodied men being wasted in Borno consistently for the last 4 years and keep mute.
Wen all these Igbo boyz are gone, HausaFulani will come to protect and defend Igbo land. RIP @Ngozi123, Amarabae, pazienza, Bigfrancis21, afam4eva
Danrizzle: I didn't see anywhere he said "leave gays alone". Now I'm wondering if I was the only one that read the text.
I am not surprise.
Yoruba have been trying for years to turn homosexuality into a tribal thing against the Igbo but unfortunately for them, history have proven that Yoruba are the number 1 one homosexuals in Nigeria and Africa.
Dont be surprise that they have been admiring him for possible homosexual relationship, that is y they are always quick to label a hetrosexual man as gay.
I mean, if yorubas are not gay, y are they always in a rush to label handsome igbo men gay, even wen the said person have countless times made it know, they are straight heterosexual.
