| The Arochukwu King Should Rank High Than Obi Of Onitsha by Ebubu(op): 12:37pm On Sep 07, 2024 |
Obi of Onitsha is just a chiefdom of Bini King The British met a very highly structured Arochukwu which they ranked above Onitsha tradition. Arochukwu King has influence over Southern Igbos of Owerri, Ngwa, Aba, Orlu, Ndoki, Etche, Ikwerre, and strongly on Ibibio of Akwa Ibom state. Their influence even entered Ebonyi state in Edda and Afikpo axis where they took slaves captive and received tributaries. If the British expeditions had delayed and Aro people met Bini, it would have been a serious fight. |

The Aro King should be made a First Class king. Onitsha Obi gives too much Bini vibes. |

Ebubu:😂😂😂😂😂😂. Thank your star that the British didn’t tarry, else the Igala tribe would have finished you. Imagine a talk from someone whose region never had anyone to lead a war expedition outside her zone. On Nsukka-Benue axis of the Civil war, you met your Waterloo. It was even a Yoruba man who lead the war accross the Niger bridge through the Mid-West to Ore in Ondo state. |

I have always known that you are not Igbo. All you have ever done here on this forum is to create division among the Igbos but we are wiser now and will never fall for your antics. You failed this time around |

Amotolongbo:Arochukwu wey dey sacrifice 1,000 human heads to Ukpabi shrine yearly? Rode on horse backs and had infantries? They defeated Ibibio in very short period of time and went into Hinterland to get slaves to sell. Arochukwu for ransack Bini palace before the British go come do their own expedition. Arochukwu NEVER lost any battle against African kingdom, only the British. And were more known to be ruthless than Bini. Obi of Onitsha na ordinary bini Prince and i no rate am |

Amotolongbo:You're driving off topic. I'm talking about Arochukwu versus Onitsha warfare you're talking about Igala and Yoruba wtf. Igala warriors are no match for Arochukwu. Google |

Adaisback:Arochukwu King had more influence than Obi of Onitsha who didn't even have influence in closest Awka. |
| Re: The Arochukwu King Should Rank High Than Obi Of Onitsha by Brandosky: 12:51pm On Sep 07, 2024 |
Ebubu:It doesn't matter who should be ranked higher than the other. Both kings are well respected and they both rank higher than ur useless father. That is more important |
| Re: The Arochukwu King Should Rank High Than Obi Of Onitsha by Ebubu(op): 12:53pm On Sep 07, 2024 |
Brandosky:my own is FG should demote obi of Onitsha he's just a subsidiary of bini King. Unless toy want to tell me igbos are subjects of Bini. Arochukwu King had more sphere of influence, control, slave trade routes, even more than Jaja of Opobo. Arochukwu King should be face of Igbo kingship not mere obi, bini prince and idu runaway |
| Re: The Arochukwu King Should Rank High Than Obi Of Onitsha by Brandosky: 12:58pm On Sep 07, 2024 |
Ebubu:They are already ahead of ur papa. End of discussion |

Brandosky:The peak of Onitsha obi (if he had any peak), can not be a match to King of Arochukwu, together with his slave-raiding Warriors and chief priest. |

@ Op Yoruba Man What concern Benin with Obi Title? So, benin Monarch title is not Oba again but Obi?. And you're an adult like this ![]() Even the founder of Ika/Anioma is Eze Chima Eze - Chima - Obi ; which of these is benin name? Trying so hard to be corny but you guys sense is always below average ![]() |
| Re: The Arochukwu King Should Rank High Than Obi Of Onitsha by Ebubu(op): 10:02pm On Sep 07, 2024 |
Bendeco2020:Onitsha people call Anambra people "nwa onye Igbo", meaning they see you as different from them. Onitsha full name is Onitsha ado n'idu. Idu is Bini name for Bini |

Ebubu:Sorry bro, but Igbos do not 'rank' kings. Kings are not held in such high esteem in Igbo land, as they do in Bini, Yoruba and Hausa While King's are respected in Igbo land, in reality Igbos don't have King's. They don't see Kingship the way other tribes see them Igbos are just too egalitarian and too democratic for that That's always been our style, always will be |

This topic is too deep for some people to understand , I see where he's driving at. Arochukwu including Abam, Ohafia areas were too powerful those days. But they were not organized maybe after the British defeated them. They were only interested in trade and not in conquering territories. They had the capacity to conquer territories, and rule over them like the Fulani in most part of the North. Their people were everywhere in Igbo region and coastal areas controlling trade before they were defeated. Most communities in old Eastern region have Aro descendants. Infact the first Nembe king is rumoured to be Aro man. |

Ebubu:Criminal element Yoruba man looking to cause divisions amongst Igbos So your plan is the people of Arochuchwu and people of Onitsha to start arguing, cursing each other and calling their Obi names? You guys are very wicked.... Traitors, cowards and snakes for a reason.... At least Benin people or Hausas comes face to face to banter with others.... Una Yoruba go like wear mask. What a useless sets of clawed face snakes. No Igbo person should take this divisive criminal serious... We have enough problems already in Igbo land and which Obi should come first isn't one of them Useless idiat.... Id machete you into two if given opportunity |

Ebubu:Which town do you think am from? As Onitsha guy, so am not Igbo ? ![]() The reason Onitsha call others Nwa onye igbo is because of pride, they see others as people from underdeveloped land (towns). Just like bush people. Have you met Onitsha people before?. Do we look like Benin via appearance or have a common language?. The founder of Anioma clan is Eze Chima why not Benin name? Mugu Even fulani that spreads across many nations in West, centeral and part of East africa (Sudan), they look the same and still have Fulbe as their original language |

gidgiddy:Oga please don't say that again Not all part of Igbo We have and resepect king right from time in Onitsha Eri too have king When the whites entered Igbo land, they observed that people with strong Royal/monarch system is Onitsha. That's how they recognise Obi of Onitsha as No.1 in East. Till now, you can trace the Obi that ruled Onitsha in 16th century and before. |

I have some Aro blood and I agree to some extent...only reason why Aros didn't leverage on their might to expand into an empire like many of their African counterparts was simply because we were more focused on slave trade and consolidating our economic might and influence in the Igbo hinterland and across the coastal areas in the Niger Delta and beyond. That's why the foothold and imprints of Aro influence can be seen in places large enough to have made it an empire if we pursued that cause. There's also a reason why Aros hired mercenaries from warrior clans in Abriba, Ohafia, and Cross River areas to conquer our neighbors and make them slaves if they refused to grant us trading routes in their territories. |

@OP You’re very wrong that onitsha people are. Or oh I But yes I agree that Eze Aro should have an esteemed stature . Aro people have great influence accross Igboland The Ari confederacy spread far and wide all the way across Cameroon to Equitorial Guinea Many people towns in across Igbo land were founded by settlers from Arochukwu |
