i no blame u I blame Nairaland and internet if not foools like u no supposed open mouth where person Dey

Of course , there is no tradition nor legends that proves Onicha had Bini ancestry , it just doesn't exist , because Onicha is too deeply embedded in Igbo culture. The original Onicha dialect which you can only find in old music record is heavily diluted by Omanbala and Idemmili Igbo , their neighbors.

No need crying over spilt milk, Onicha and Enuani are too Igbotic , even if they themselves deny it.


Nobody loves Nze na Ozo more than Onicha...lol

Oga , forget that Onicha matter , ain't gonna fly. Obi Achebe will not tolerate that nonsense because if he entertains that idea he will anger the very wealthy and influential Anambra people.

Fact remains that Benin's and Igalas are also LANDLORDS of Onitsha

WELCOME TO ONITSHA, ANOTHER HOME OF INDIGENOUS IGALA

Onitsha is a town or city in the present day Anambra state. Onitsha was formed by 3 tribes which are Edo (Benin), Igbo and Igala. It had nine villages in which 4 are Edo who are they rulers of Onitsha (Obi of Onitsha), 3 are Igbo while 2 are pure Igala. The two villages occupied by Igala are Ogbodu and Obigboru. Although, only a few can still speak Igala due to long stay, they still maintain the tradition of Igala in burial, Ocho, marriage and masquerade festivals.
And do you know what, the mother of one of the former Obi of Onitsha was Igala. My dear Ogbodu and Obigboro Igala, we the Igala in Idah, our ancestral home love. We are one blood.
Pls bear Igala names, give Igala names to your children and tell them they are Igala. And to you my Kogi Igala people, pls tell someone to tell someone that Igala is not just in Kogi state. I will visit you people soon bc now I know I have a home there.

Megba chakaa.

Yup!

The Igalas are the first/original settlers of what is now Onitsha.

There are 9 quarters in Onitsha, and the current Obi confirmed in an Ofala festival documentary
that I saw in 2017 that it was the
Igala boat people that ferried his
Bini forebears and migrants across
the river Niger to Onitsha about 400 years ago.

The Obi of Onitsha Ado n'Idu also said in that interesting Ofala festival documentary that he has Bini, Igala and Ibo ancestries!

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan
Ogunwusi was also a guest at that year's Ofala festival being his first
visit as an Oba.
