Well that's good.

All great Igbo history centred on anambra state.

Anything aside that is a fallacy and should be discarded.

But most importantly there isn't any specific history for Igboland...unless you increase the volume of that book.

Finally, I prefer not to have a copy of that book without been told it is empty.

Igbo Jews have long predated Nnamdi Kanu. They have been in many ibo communities observing Judaism in a cultural form. There have been synagogues as old as can be in igboland. There are also pyramids in Igboland. Pls don't limit Judaism in igboland to nnamdi kanu it has been there even before his father was born and don't make fun of it. Does being a roman Catholic, or English Anglican or pentecostal Christian make you a roman, English man or American. Does being a muslim make you an Arab. Apply wisdom when talking

Onitsha people are from Northern Igboland pls those Northern igboland has no name? Some western igboland, who are the western igboland, no namehuh


Did he ever mentioned the origin of igbo people? No. Is Onitsha now the real igbo forefathers? Because I remember a fellow Igbo calling Onitsha and Anambra in entirely fake igbo and the descendants of Igala peoe so that is no longer viable bahuh

So Jewish no longer fit in to the narratives bahuh Ipigs where are you with your Jewish unity begging now answer this man.

Please biko stop embarrassing people with all these baseless fake origins it has not added up and unfounded. From Jewish to Uganda from Uganda to igala from igala to Jewish now from Jewish to Northern Igbo Western Igbo bullshit.......

get the book and read it...

You shouldn't expect him to say everything here, this is just like a forward, telling you what to expect from the book. If he writes everything in the book here, then there's no need buying it.

You can do better than this.

Finally Igbos are waking up from the chasm of the civil war mentality.

I always laugh when fools Day Onicha (Onitsha) and Igbos in Delta are from Benin. When the name of their progenitor is Eze Chima.

Damn! Village people and the absurd!

Retired CP Ikechukwu Aduba Launches A Book, Authenticates The History Of Igboland And Origin Of Onicha Ado

Overtime, the origin of Igbos have been a topic of discussion with different opinions by different scholars. In a bid to weigh in and bring clarity to the subject matter, the Retired Commissioner of Police Ikechukwu Aduba wrote the book ‘History or Igboland and a reappraisal of the origin of Onicha Ado N’Idu. The book was launched over the weekend and was held in Onitsha, Anambra State was attended by the who is who of the Igbo community as well as renowned scholars and professors. Coordinator of the Book Launch committee Dr Walter Emerole welcomed everyone to the event and talked briefly about the efforts that have been put in place to make the event a reality.

Ikechukwu Aduba while making his author’s remarks succinctly stated that his radical shift from the old understanding of Igbo history and the origin of Onitsha people is to bring clarity on the subject matter. Aduba debunked through extensive research, the claim by Onitsha people that they migrated from Benin in the present-day Edo State. He wrote that there is no evidence either based on culture, religion or ancestry that supports the claim which he said is at most a myth. 

According to him, neither culture, religion nor ancestry supports this claim. 
After reviewing accounts of previous historians, Aduba noted that none of them could state the exact date of Onitsha migration from Benin, nor the monarch in power when the movement took place. 

Most importantly, he observed, Chima who was the Onitsha ancestor that led the migration did not feature in Edo tradition. He also wrote: “There are more differences than similarities in Benin and Onitsha political arrangements. 
“In Benin tradition, the ruler is called Oba, but in Onitsha Obi. The Royal regalia of both monarchs not the same. In Onitsha King list, there is no Edo name. Onitsha indigenes called their queen mother Omu while in Benin, she is called Idia”. 

Instead, citing works of great historians and anthropologists, like V. C. Uchendu, Adiele Afigbo and Onwuejeogu, Aduba concluded that it may be that “Onitsha people originally belonged to Northern Igbo while the group which eventually became ruling lineage migrated from area in Western Igboland which was within the influence of Benin, bringing with it something of Benin pattern of kingship, titled hierarchy and other political institutions”. 

Another concept debunked in the book by Aduba is that of Igbo Enweghi Eze (Meaning The Igbos Have No King) he believes this is both biased and lack of sufficient knowledge about the nature of Igbo politics.” The idea, he reasoned could have emanated from an autonomous homeland. 

The Chairman of the occasion Chief Dr. Simon Okeke advised everyone to read this literary work as it epitomizes detailed research done by renowned scholars.

Other notable guests at the event include: Chief Chuck Nduka-Eze (Chief Launcher) Professor U.D Anyanwu who delivered a resounding keynote address. Professor Johnclif Nwadike did a fantastic review of the book in local ibo dialect, pointing at the touch points and areas to take note of as it relates to Igbo origin. Special lecture was delivered by professor Chidi Osuagwu . Guests duly represented were Barr. Nnamdi Ibegbu (SAN), Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, amongst others.

The closing remarks and vote of thanks was delivered by Chuks Anyaduba who let the audience know that the book is available for purchase online at Amazon via the following link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09R4GB6XP/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LC2MD39BOX97&keywords=History+of+igboland&qid=1643149896&sprefix=history+of+igbolan%2Caps%2C324&sr=8-1

I can't take all this books seriously until our archaeology science develop. Many of the claims their will just be postulations.
History of origin is very complicated. Many at times chromosomes of native speakers are examined to observe links. This are still science that hasn't been developed in this part of the world.
Some people might not be close to other IGBOS but just took up the language because of the native speakers influence or proximity. What looks certain is that Benin was so big that it exercised sovereignty over many tribes that was close to it. We see traces of this in the monarchies in Bayelsa, Delta and even in onitcha.
