Igboid: Igbo was documented 18th century Yoruba was first documented 17th century by the world Benin was first documented 13th century in 17th Olaudah Equiano documented that Ebo/Igbo was a tribe under the Benin kingdom. Now all documented fact point Benin was the oldest civilization nation. Now you get your truth. |

Jameseddi1: Perhaps this was the case with Yorubas, The relationship between the two is understandably complicated. However, anything to do with Igbos is purely wishful thinking. Benin claimed to have conquered their neighbors, the Agbor clan some time back, and this was the response from the Agbor people below: 2 Likes

Shiver99: This write up here might be from those Igbo In Agbor who always opposed Agbor history by saying your names are igboid how will you claim Benin. Because the royal house of Agbor already claimed to migrate from Benin and not Igbo. If you want me to post the king of agbor write up here about their history I will. Anyway sha a real agbor man know this truth only the migrated igbo to agbor know otherwise. I have seen a lot tread where real agbor people debating with Igbos about this. Truth after migration from Benin still under Benin control agbor was able to make a big treat against the Benin cause of their independence. Truth and still didn’t change the facts. 1 Like |

Shiver99: Osalobua is ancient Benin word for God your Anioma Originated in same Era as Esan. Anyone can write anything in his or her own books. Please go read document fact and not just anybook. Onitcha agbor kings started in 15th century from 15 16th century that when this place kings was first documented. Same with Esan Benin have been using that OSA word for century eyewitness by the world European and all before Onitcha Agbor Esan started existence. Olise Esan Osebelu are all corrupted Benin ancient Osalobua word. Olise is a Benin origin word same with Osadebe. Now you just prove a point that Agbor king never lied about their Benin root same with Onitcha man Zik who wrote exodus in 19th century about how onitcha came from Benin. No wonder this people kings still carry Benin royal swords of office given by Oba till date. But all this still didn’t change the fact that all Igbo/Ebo was under Benin control documented in 17th century. Only way to prove me wrong is to bring a documented fact older than 17th century ok. |

Jameseddi1: Bini is much more younger than Agbor and Western Igbo clans. And you actually borrowed alot from them. Including Osanobua like already stated. You can't break Osanobua down to a meaning in Bini. But Igbo can break Olisa bulu uwa down to a meaning. Which goes to show that they are the originators! Same way you borrowed Igbo market days and even Igbo palm fruit "Ofigbo" (Ofe Igbo) from Ika people. Bini is a relatively Minority and like most minorities, a hybrid created out of the interactions between the Igbo, Yoruba and the original Edoid people represented by the Oza, Esan and Etsako people. 5 Likes |

I keep bringing documents fact you keep bringing imagination story. But still didn’t change the fact that the world first time of recognizing Ebo was it under Benin kingdom in 17th century.

Do you even know Agbor history? Igbo man? STOP PROMOTING IGBO CULTURE, SAYS DEIN OF AGBOR The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Dr. Benjamin Ikenchukwu Keagborekuzi I, has enjoined his subjects to stop promoting Igbo culture, describing the Agbor culture as ‘unique and peculiar’. IMG_9531 STOP PROMOTING IGBO CULTURE, SAYS DEIN OF AGBOR The Dein gave the admonition at his palace recently while giving his royal blessings to the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien Community, Pa. Bogi Abagi. He called on the good people of Agbor Kingdom to join hands with him to effect the changes he desires to be in place. According to him, “I am back and happy to be in the midst of my subjects. This kind of gathering gives me joy because it is an opportunity for me to learn more from my people. There is room for change, therefore my wish and desire for my subjects is that they adopt and respect every change that is being made. Going through the history of Agbor Kingdom, one will thank the gods for wisdom. Thus, everyone will join hands with me to reposition things the way they ought to be in order to restore our lost glory”. He called on all Agbor indigenes to preserve Agbor culture and stop promoting Igbo culture. His words, “stop giving our children Igbo names. The native names given to our children should be pronounced and written in Agbor language and not in Igbo or Ika language as Agbor has its own unique language. The Igbo red cap should also be dropped as it is not a native cap for Agbor Kingdom. Soon, I will start driving away my palace chiefs who are fond of coming to the palace, wearing in red caps. Agbor traditions should be respected and preserved for future generations. Parents and the elderly should teach our children and the youths the culture of Agbor”. The Odion of Agbor Kingdom, Chief Julius Ochei who led the new Iregwa and the people of Ogbemudien to the Dein’s Palace for blessing, said the Iregwa title goes to the oldest man in Ogbemudien Community, stating that it is the turn of Pa. John Bogi Abagi who is 89 years and the oldest man. The Iregwa, according to Chief Ochie is the traditional head of Ogbemudein Community in Agbor Kingdom. In a chat with Ika Weekly Newspaper Reporter, the Chairman of Ogbemudien Community, Hon. Simon Okpali lauded the Dein for his wealth of knowledge and prayed the good Lord to empower him. He expressed his confidence in the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien to lead well and thanked the Dein for his blessings. Julius Ehiabor, the Onu-otu of Ogbemudein Community, on his part, said Pa. Abagi leadership is good and that the good people of Ogbemudien Community are happy. He prayed God to give the new Iregwa good health and long life. Mr. Johnbull Okwuogori Aghaulor felicitating with the Iregwa, appealed to him to continue to lead them in truth. He prayed God to bless the Dein of Agbor, the Iregwa, Ogbemudein Community and Agbor Kingdom. Responding, Pa. Abagi thanked the Dein, saying that his joy knows no bounds, while soliciting for the cooperation of every son and daughter of Ogbemudein Community to enable him give the Dein the needed support to move Agbor Kingdom forward.

Obi of Issele-Uku His Royal Majesty, Obi Nduka Ezeagwuna, in this interview with OVIE OKPARE speaks about life before and after ascension to the throne of his forefathers and the custom and tradition in his kingdom. Can you tell us a little about the Issele–Uku Kingdom? If you look at our history, we are descendants of the great Benin empire and as the history goes, on or about 1230 AD, Oba Eweka of Benin the first sent his second son, Prince Uwade towards the Eastern part of the Benin Empire first of all to check the influx of the Easterners into the kingdom and secondly to expand the empire. So Prince Uwade came along with his wives and some delegate warriors towards the eastern part, they settled here in the present Issele–Uku. So they settled and practised the same pattern of ascension to the throne like that in Benin. So after him, Prince Uwade became Ogewade and after him, his first son took over. So, that has been our brief history. We are descendants of the great Benin Kingdom. https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/at-first-i-was-embarrassed-to-see-elders-bow-before-me-25-year-old-obi-of-issele-uku/%3Famp

Igboid:That is it my brother. Every cat and dog wants to claim relationship with superior culture. The thing is funny. Britain started it with trying to link Akwete to Indian lungi, Now Yorubas of Yesterday want to claim origin. Yorubas of few centuries ago. Little did all of them know that Akwete started with grass and rafia fibre as well as other Igbo cloth producers like we have in Northern Igboland before moving to cotton. Britain gave up after extensive studies but these ones want to start their own. People that every artifact in Igboland outdates. Imagine the dude wanted to talk about Bronze. A Yoruba man talking about bronze. When did Yoruba started making bronze sculptures? The dude did not know that what he posted as well as most of the Yoruba sculptures are Brass and Copper. The oldest of those brass and copper sculptures date 12th century. Bronzes, if any of the Yorubas works must be considered as such dates from 15th century, same with Bini. Bini is the youngest in the game. Most of Bini bronzes shows evidences of European contact like cross and bowler hats. This is why I told that guy that if he wants bronze and artifact discussion, he should wait till I am through with clothing. See the oldest known Bronze of lost wax technique in Africa. It is from Igbo-Ukwu 5 Likes

A lot of igbo cope and projection on this thread, liking each other's post doesn't change facts. It's true. Igbos copy other ethcities attire but some other minor tribes do too, it's shocking as igbos who are not a minor tribe do it. Gele has nothing to do with Igbo, nor Edo crown beads ,nor Efik shirt, but many igbos wear it like it's their culture. The red cap worn sometimes by igbos, not the Christmas cap one, is also a standard Hausa cap of red color. Yorubas were never naked, or known to wear animal skin, that's the Igbo, igbos rejecting their history to other people is pure coping. Interesting how the Igbos here choose to attack Yorubas when Edo's and Efiks were mentioned too. Shows the inferiority complex and who it's directed to. Akwette was modeled from foreign fabrics, spun by just one women and only came to existence in the 1990s meanwhile Aso oke, one of the Yoruba fabrics is dated 1400s. Igbos after missionaries and colonialism used foreign wrappers called Gorge Indian textiles. So even the recent akwette fabric made from imported cotton, began to die off more. This is why there's no native Igbo fabric used by igbos in Mass till this day, but rather George and Indian imports. 6 Likes |

BKayy: Igbos, don't project your history onto others, Yoruba people. And your posted image does nothing to debunk that Akwette is a recently 1900s fabric created from fabrics sold by ijaw Yorubas and Portuguese traders. And that's why it's never a staple part of your culture unlike Yoruba Also oke, Adire, and so on. Yoruba Gele is cultural, just like the rest of Yoruba clothing, Iro ,buba and ipele. And it has nothing to do with Islam, many Yorubas had strong traditional worshippers and the fabric had meaning assigned even to the various Orishas, some Orishas attached to several fabrics. Thats why there are more Christian Yorubas than Muslim ones today. And unlike you, Europeans have nothing to do with any part Yoruba civilization. The inferiority complex is strong with you.

Yoruba women had magnificent braids styles but still wore Gele's traditionally for several occasions and casual settings too.

BKayy: A lot of incoherent jibber jabber. People of close ethnicities can share similar outfit cuts, it has nothing to do with borrowing, but fashion of similar demographics. And Agbada has nothing to do with Babaringa and they are distinguishable by appearance! I and nobody confuses a Babaringa to an agbada. Aso oke fabric, Adire, etc remains same no matter the cut of the clothe. Just like how the three Asian super powers have some similarly historical outfit cuts, but different fabrics and distinct from each other. Same with some Malinke, wolof, fula , bamabara outfits. Same with English, German, French attires. And so on. Use your iq, if you have any. Also Yoruba men have other traditional attire like kembe and so forth. And that's not a hat, that's a bead, if your eyes can't see well. Yoruba ancient arts show the different outfits of both male and female, and with old pictures to match it too. Some Japanese, Chinese and Korean traditional clothing, the male (and even their female attires too) share similar cuts due to proximity and fashion history, but are distinct by look, origin and are made from different traditional indigenous fabrics.
