1nice: Do not say what you do not know anything about.
Edo and Delta are part of Biafra according to history, if you do your research then you will find out for yourself if I begin to give you facts yet you will still not believe but still choose to engage in baseless argument. Even the edos and deltans knows they are biafrans. If Biafra referendum is conducted anytime and the majority of edos and deltans voted not to be part of Biafra, therefore they can decide to be part of Nigeria.
What relationship does Edo and Delta have with biafra? Which history?
In your so-called biafra schemes, leave Edo out . Nothing join us.
One of the earliest civilisations in Africa is what you want to drag into one nonsense biafra.
We have well-kept, documented records of our history, even those looted by the British invaders which are being returned are just a small part. Which of any of the artifacts being returned depicts anything linking the Edos to biafra?
You guys mistake tolerance and hospitality for lack of self-awareness.
And again why do most of the ipo.bs blatantly lie to themselves and attempt to deceive anyone who happens to be naive? When and where was Edo and Delta part of any Eastern region, whether old or new?
Why always twisting facts?
(Seun, autocorrect on NL substitutes Igbos for ipo.bs and that is highly misleading).
ch214: You can not change what have been in existence but you can only deny the existence: Rivers, non-Igbo Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and Edo are all part of old eastern region which is now refer to as Biafra
Many of you just go around different online fora spewing misinformation and lies passed down to you and this questions any form of credibility from you guys.
When and how was Edo and Delta part of any Eastern region?
Secondly, who created the 'Eastern region'? The British right? Obviously for ease of administration. How come you Ipo.bs are hellbent on preserving the anomalous merging of you guys with people who have repeatedly made it clear they have nothing to do with your biafra?
At this point, it's obvious these guys repeatedly open such topics in attempt to even convince themselves.
And have never questioned themselves why their 'Igbo history', especially in these areas always begins from the late 1800s.
Landlord97: Igbos owns solely not just the south east of Nigeria, they are also parts of the following local governments and settlements. 1.DELTA (Anioma) 2.RIVERS (Etche, Omoku, ndoki, egbema, Opobo, Bonny, obigbo,Okirika, Ekpeye) 3.AKWA IBOM (Opobo renamed ikot abasi, ukanafun, eastern obolo). 4.BAYELSA (Ekeremor,nembe, ogbia and brass) 5.EDO(Igbo akiri renamed to igbanke, ishan or esan). 6.CROSS RIVERS ( Obubra, Abi, ejagham). 7. Benue(Obi, Ado, Oju, Okpoku). 8.Kogi(Ibaji and igalamela). .
Delusional
Anywhere they migrate to and are accommodated, they own. Una try!
emkz: Sir Ahmadu Bello had Emir Muhammadu Sanusi I deposed in 1963; Sardauna was brutally murdered in 1966 by military renegades.
In 1984, General Muhammadu Buhari suspended the Ooni of Ife and Emir of Kano for six months for travelling to Israel after Nigeria had diplomatic problems with Israel; Buhari was kicked out of power the following year and locked up that he could not attend his mother's funeral who had passed away while he was detained.
In 1996, General Sani Abacha had Sultan Dasuki deposed, and Abacha died mysteriously two years after. Dasuki lived for 18 years more after. In 1998-1999, Navy Captain Anthony Ibe Onyearugbulem, then Edo State governor, suspended Oba of Benin, Oba Erediawa, as chairman of Edo State Traditional Rulers Council. Onyearugbulem died mysteriously two years after.
I am not saying the deaths or misfortune they suffered are linked in anyway, just making an observation.
I strongly advise politicians to avoid playing with traditional institutions. Ganduje deposed Sanusi, Abba Kabir Yusuf deposed Ado Bayero.
Did any of them win the election to be Emir? Do both of them love the Kanawa? Did they do these things to massage their ego?
eljayi99: I kinda of noticed my trade on Exness Spread started to increase around 10pm, my trade was on profit but suddenly I’m at loss… does this means I have to close all my trades before 10pm daily?
No. With most brokers, at the end of the NY session, the spread is usually significantly increased. This may reflect on ongoing trades and even account balances in some instances.
But these changes are usually reversed during the Asian session. If there is a net deduction in your account, you may be paying commission for position(s) (for certain assets) held overnight.
Also note spreads (and margins) are also significantly increased during periods of high impact news.
This seems to be the norm in South South States. Their youth and graduates are left unengaged and unemployed, while most positions in various organisations and government agencies are taken by people from other States/regions. Meanwhile, such is never tolerated even in same agencies/organisations located in other regions where a significant percentage of the workforce would be from the host State or region.
The truth is the region has the most unfortunate leaders. Many who sellout against their people.
fatboyslym007: Unfortunately you should read your history well and follow archeological findings... Apparently we all came from the Niger region... Yoruba never conquered Igodomigodo. Our kinship alliance may not have been from Oranmiyan or Oduduwa but from a long lost interactions, that allowed a Yoruba prince to establish an Oba dynasty.
Exactly.
There was no time in history any part of present day Edo was conquered by Yorubas, (that alone gave the guy you quoted out as not being from Edo) rather, there has been a longstanding relationship between these people.
I wonder why some individuals, especially those not indigenous to any of the areas get grand mal fits once they are reminded of the relationship.
Benwallt: Your people carry themselves go confess for Ife without invitation. You're here shouting Yoruba this Yoruba that. Instead of you to go waylay your people that made the confession in Ife. I know say you be Igbo because Bini people don't talk without direction.
slimjohn2k5: I blame our govt. So since our people sell inflated priced goods. The Chinese are wise enough to make life comfortable for their people even in another country.
It will shock you how things we inflate their price here are so cheap in that Chinese supermarket.
StaffofOrayan: If southern Christians are that bad, why do Northern beggers bother coming south? Una go sha open mouth waaaaa
Most of those beggars you see are not even from Northern Nigeria, they are migrants from other Countries. At various times, ways have been sought to return them to their places of origin.
FatherOfJesus: This one cannot differentiate Esan from Bini.
This nairaland is full of people who have absolutely no knowledge about the demography of Nigeria, especially Yoruba people (they have a way of not knowing absolutely nothing about the demography of Nigeria) .
Ekpoma na Esan and not Bini. You only depending of hearsays on the internet to make conclusions, you don't have real-time knowledge about those places. Bini is spoken in Benin city and some other closer local government. Igbanke people speak a mixture of Esan and Ika and not Bini
I can post hundred of videos of Ika people staying they are igbos. Even Ifeanyi Okowa, former governor of Delta state from Ikaland said he's Igbo. So there no need cherrypicking videos online to suit your narratives
What's the difference between Esan and Bini? You're obviously not from Edo and oblivious of Edo history and languages.
By the way, how did 'Esan and Ika' language mixture in Igbanke equate to Igbo?
Ifaenyi Okowa? Now that's a valid example of an individual seeking political benefit.
Yujin: I don't write what I'm not certain about. I'll give you just one name for you to go and confirm. There are still more. Another Ika community in Edo state is Oghada. It is connected by road directly NW of Igbanke. It also has boundary with Agbor. You can go and verify for yourself.
Bro, Oghada is a Village in Uhunmwode, Edo South and they are Binis, speak Bini, have their Enogie and other traditional leaders in the Edo heriarchical system.
