Odogwu, it is high time you start ignoring threads like this that people will go about to dig it up and I will authoritatively tell you that it was an igbo boy that digged this thread up just to what I don't understand..

They go about disgracing themselves but will rush to tell you people hate Igbos.

What is even there to measure between Igbos and Ijaw?

Sometimes if you x-ray most of the commenters you will realise they are not from your Political state but always arrive in the name of Igbo defence.

Allow the fools to continue in their tomfoolery.

The issue threads like this grows is because most of us don't Ignore them.

I sort of ignored it for a while but that Ijaw nutcase kept writing trash and I wanted to remind him who they were. Daalu

PHijo:
They know they are inferior, it is inferiority complex that manifests in that manner. They are trying to mask their feeling.

What is this , ehn. You can't even have a sensible debate. Just writing out of frustration just because you couldn't finish what you started.

"inferior" to Ijaw or who ? I guess we all have right to write anything that crosses our mind. Just dey bark like a mad dog !

NwaAro:
I give up, you're obviously more stupid than I imagined. Go find your inferior likes like the Kanuri to play with, I consider it an insult to even bring myself low to engage a mere Ijaw, absolute waste of my time.

You guys have them the attention and now they think they have an opinion. How in the world do you begin to compare Ijaw to Igbo. It insane

PHijo:
Achebe was referred for displaying the primitive aspects of Igbo culture. If you even mentioned Cyprian Ekwensi I would have taken you serious.

We had writers like J.P. Clark and Ola Rotimi. I talked about those shaped/created Nigeria's legal profession and her banking industry.

If you could not appreciate the meaning of the word first or if you couldn't understand the meaning how did you want to appreciate quality literature?

Literary experts do not refer to Achebe while discussing African literature because he did not follow the rules of writing African literature neither did he adhere to the rules of English prose. There is a reason rap and poetry isn't the same.

Even though you shifted the post, Igbo people do not have an exceptional writer of African literature dead or alive. The closet to that was Cyprian Ekwensi.

I am not surprised you avoided the legal and banking profession.

Not even your beloved father, Nnamdi Azikiwe could escape the tutelage of Ijaw people.

Igbos are fond burning bridges people let them cross or bite the fingers that feed them.

This post is filled with ignorance and jealousy. Ijaw is a very little group with a minute recognition in Niger Delta. The northerners doesn't even know you existed until militancy. There is nothing significant about Ijaw, honestly. These comparisons of Ijaw to Igbo is simply unfair because you can't measure up to little Obosi or Onicha before we bring the Igbo nation.

For instance, two Igbos has won African footballer of the Year for men , an Igbo woman won the female category like five times. An Igbo woman won the first Olympic gold medal, an Igbo man won't the first African gold medal in common wealth games. Where do I even start...look at Hollywood , Nollywood , Music industry , Academics etc.

It's an insult to compare Igbo to Ijaw....an insult. The most respected African writers are mostly Igbos. Smh. Go drink kaikai , abeg

Go to NIBO and say that and receive the beating of your life, poverty stricken baboon like you. Ask Obiano to buy you a dictionary so you can expand your vocabulary.

I don't really understand why you are here. You are not from Anambra but you are always here fueling negative discussions. You are irritating.

mktinsight:
NIBO is an illustrious town with many accomplished people. Respect that. Vertex View is in NIBO not Awka. Save Awka Capital Territory vernacular for those in ministry of town planning.

Please, we don't want division here. Anambra people don't do divisions. Today , Nibo is part of greater Awka. What is wrong with you.

Rocksvibes234:
Marvelling,

In the next 3 to 5years Anambra will be a mega city especially Awka City

Only if we replicate the same quality of projects like Golden Tulip. We need one at Onicha and maybe another at Awka.

Olisa nonyelu ayi

mktinsight:
Nice. Now replicate this in Awka preferably inside the awka stadium grounds with tennis, basketball courts, children play pen, benches, trees, changing rooms, swimming pool.

I agree with this.

Well there is elements of truth there but you forgot that the path Bini used to reach southern Igboland was not Onitsha Expressway. It was through Ndoni Areas before the emergence of Arọ (their nightmare). Bini didn't establish anything there because during the height of Bini so called empire was the militarization Arọ and established of her confederacy.

Those days, for some reasons which we are yet to fully Understand. BINI never touched Umueri Clan (Nri) with their environs (Anambra axis) and neither did Arọ (apart from Anaedo clan and Umueri, Arọ touched many parts of Anambra) . The only difference between the two was that arọ was more ruthless and derive special pleasure in killing Bini was the main reason the Bini wall was established and Bini directed all her attention to mounting defence on the southern border.
Unlike Bini Arọ had many clans with ruthless soldiers on their call, most notably Afikpo, Ohofia, Abam. Izuogu and his partner in crime Iheme were just slave businessmen but very ruthless.
If not for the coming of the colonialists, Arọ would have gotten to Ife and totally annex Bini before facing off with the caliphate

If you say Nri/Eri then you are going too far. Bini never ventured into Anioma. Those western Igbo are blood thirsty and the Bini know this hence their movements were west ward. It's really difficult to fight the Igbo tribes because of their social structures. Having a central leadership makes it easy to conquer a people.

Golden Tulip should add another massive structure because it seems there are empty lands to build on. I am sure the rooms are always booked up.

Bonesking:
Ngwanu, kam juo gi ajuju gbasara ndi Onicha mili! Gwam ya na Igbo Julius?
1. Which kindred is the current Obi of Onitsha from?
2. What is the name of the oracle of Onitsha people?

Onicha has ogwugwu shrines just like their Idemmili, Oyi , Ogbaru , Nsugbe and Oyi neighbors. I don't want to say somethings in English because of Bini revisionists who prey on weak minded elements from Onicha and Anioma. I will write undiluted Ide-Ocha Igbo. If Bendeco2020 can't write Igbo Onicha then we have nothing to talk about.

Bendeco2020:
Hehehe... That's not the problem, if i explain with Igbo they will still say that am using google translate

Godons1:
In response to the bolded. The reason why Obiano and other ANAMBRA People see themselves as more superior than IGBOS from other States from the EAST is cause, they are not IGBOS but IGALAS.

Really ??
LMAO

Igala are some of the poorest in Anambra both finance and culture. Nobody is glad to be Igala except Igala themselves. In Anambra , there is a phrase we use, onuku Igala. It's,derogatory. An Aguleri man , Idemmili or Oyi ,Awka ,will never claim Igala.

Klinee:
Almost all the towns and villages in NORTH PART OF ANAMBRA originally trace their linage in IGALA but they are all IGBO SPEAKING TOWNS and speak purely IGBO LANGUAGE.

Now , you are spreading falsehood just like you lied the other time that Omanbala was derived from Igala language.

Only one village in in Onicha is Igala but you want to claim the whole Anambra north. You are very silly.

Igbochief001:
Some people are too foolish to argue with
Obviously he has never been to awka . He respects enugu but don't rate awka ? ..na Mumu be that na

And you replied him with "Ok". You should have ignored him if you didn't know what to write instead of agreeing with him as if what he said was true.

Igbochief001:
Ok

So , your response to that statement about Awka is "ok"? Igbo chief , indeed. You are not from Anambra hence let it burn.... Cc.Igbochief

laiperi:
You are one of the sickos? Again what is your Infatuation with those that detest anything that looks like you, even one drop of your blood, if you know what that means.

People around the seaports and children of motor park thugs that raped Niger and Arab beggars on most Nigerian cities from the 80s have more light skins than any other Nigerians.

What is there to be jealous of, your inferiority complex?

See serious pain just because you couldn't finish what you started....lol You brought light skin into this because it makes you feel inferior and when I addressed you all hell went loose....lmao

Igbo women too fine ,biko!

Nze is indigenous to Anambra and any person by that name either borrowed it or has Anambra origin. Your people settled amongst already existing community called Umunze. You can't be Umunze from origin if you have no Anambra connection. Many migrants flooded the southern Anambra fringe after the fall of Aro and settled amongst Anambra cultured natives. Your ancestors might be one of them which will make you a settler amongst Umunze.

thanks so much dear. My cousin ( onye okija) used to be a great story teller. He lived with us back then at ilorin he usually starts his story with , the usual ifo de,then he would say, ' I run o till I reach obodo idu na oba where the story am about to tell you emanate from'.
Am beginning to think that okija and my people from that side have a link with onicha people coz I am sure that the stories were also told to him by his fore fathers

Okija people migrated from Ogidi in Idemmili north who are neighbors to Onicha. Ogidi is believed to be a western Igbo migrants but this angle is debatable.

Where are you from ?

Etinosa123456:
Lol... Tell Igbinazaka to show us the boundary of the leased land according to the treaty he cries about.. why has he been running away from that question

Bini is a sub tribe of Yoruba that wondered off. You are too small to be ancient. You guys are bitting more than you can chew. Stop claiming thing you dont own or capable of achieving.

adadike:
nnam dalu. Can you please expantiate more on the agha idu na oba . I need to know more. I will be glad if you can direct me to a website for Igbo history

Akuko maka ife melu na Obodo Iduu na Oba ( war between the Bini land and Iduu people( Onicha/Umuezechima)) as my late grandmother (Iyom Nnebuenyi) would often start when he told us stories of the past. The story was told by fleeing Umuezechima people when they settled at Onicha mmili. The story captured the event that led to the war that drove Onicha people out of their land which is in the vicinity of Bini. Many resettled in Anioma while the rest crossed the Niger with the help of Igala fishermen. That is how Onicha mmili was founded.

samuk:
This one is in severe pain.

This is childish. There is not a single evidence that proves Isselle are Bini. However, I am not disputing some edoid migrated to Iselle at later period and are a minute population but claiming Isselle are Bini is just blatantly ignorance and stinks of inferior mindset. Obi of Onicha will never try that foolishness and he rightly stated in his interview that Onicha were Igbo in reverse migration after the agha iduu na oba.

You are even claiming Asaba. You guys are shameless and pathetic. If you needed population why didn't you enlarge your chiefdom when you were the "great Bini empire" , whatever that means....lmao

Now , you are jubilating over some hungry youths from Ikwerre who went to kiss asz at your Oba palace. Well , just know this Ikwerre is a goner, they can never be Bini even if they want to...this is purely a bad tactics for them. They won't even eat Bini food , practice your fetish culture or marry Bini women. This is just true....they fall for Igbo women like it's a spell!

LMAO

Etinosa12345:
U are typing this in tears

If u are sure of what u are saying, bring ur facts and stop crying on this thread

PS: I'm still waiting for the account where Erediuwa said that Benin were afraid of the Igbos

He said so in his book and Onlytruth wrote about it here. I didn't make it up. Why would I ? I don't say things I don't know like claiming Onicha and Asaba are Bini, I am Igbo for Christ sake !

samuk:
Benin can't prevent anyone from telling their history and practising their culture. There is nothing you or even Benin can do about ISSELE-UKU claiming Benin. Learn to live with it.

Iseselle Ukwu are Igbo through and through. If they like let them go eat oba shit at the end they will still speak Igbo , eat Igbo food , marry Igbo, worship in Igbo and look like Igbo. With time they will look more silly just like Ikwerre are beginning to look. You should be worried that people who you absolutely nothing in common with are claiming to be your kin.

[quote author=laiperi post=96824470]You guys are black except for mix marriages but your obsession with the color of white people that will not even accept one drop of your blood in them is sickening. [/quote

You sound very ignorant and jealous. We are black people through and through no doubt but the Igbo also have a hight percentage of people with lighter skin than the average west African. This cant be disputed. Above all , Igbo women are very beautiful and I am not here to make comparisons.

samuk:
Asaba in Delta, Onitsha in Anambra, Ikwerre in Rivers, Igede in Benue are few examples of places founded by Benin people.

Below is the oldest eyewitness written historical account of Asaba. in 1875. if you have an older written account to debunk my claim, provide it. the Benin kingdom/empire was far greater than most of you can ever imagined. Those of you that actually know will not admit to it due to inferiority complex.

In case you missed it, it clearly says Asaba history says, they migrated under the sovereignty of the Oba of Benin due to war.

By 16th century (500 years ago) Benin already sent an ambassador to Lisbon in Europe, something no African kingdom/empire had done till then.

So, Bini people founded Asaba and Onicha...lmao. If you like send Ambassador to moon but you can't grow taller than you are. Asaba and Onicha has absolutely nothing in common with you Bini. Not in culture, in looks, in language or any danm thing. These places even the inferior Ikwerre are traditionally Igbo in all ramifications. You are a Yoruba sub tribe!

samuk:
Unfortunately for people like you, Benin had already made history and it was documented, there is nothing you guys can do about it. No amount of recent fabrications can change the past. All we need to do is dig into the past to cure your ignorance.

Enjoy the Ine festival of ISSELE-UKU people of Delta state.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E56N6E0Lns8

If you like post any senseless material all you like but you have no single evidence that Bini was not a chiefdom. You never built an empire and as time goes you will get this. By the way , you Bini practiced our four market days yet you spoke Bini. Issele Ukwu are eternally Igbo and there is nothing you nor them can do about it....lmao. They are becoming even more centrally Igbo as we speak. Give up!
