if you are Igbo good,if you are not Igbo fine.

Oh because Oba of Benin dethroned your king you now remember you are Igbo?

As much as I don't like it but your Igbo heritage is what no one can deny you

THE EVIL NIGERIANS WILL HIDE THIS THREAD.


THESE ARE ANCIENT PEOPLE, SO OLD THAT THEY MAY EVEN BE ANCESTORS TO THE YORUBA.


THEY ARE THE OLDEST PEOPLE IN THAT REGION AND FIRST OCCUPANTS OF BINI BEFORE THE DISPLACEMENT BY WAR.

Igbanke people have always been igbo, time to unify the igbo common wealth and nation hood .

Good one from them, going back to their roots...



It's remaining that dipso in Abuja and his stooges that are still playing politics with their identity

will dis put Food on dia table?

They are the most confused set up people. Filled with low self esteem and inferiority complex.

Their identity crisis no be her. Is more than jazz. I can't explain their confusion.

What is Igbanke?

PlayerMeji:
What is Igbanke?

IGBOAKIRI CORRUPTED TO IGBANKE.

THEIR ACTUAL NAME CONTAINS THE WORD IGBO IN IT FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL, IT IS LIKE THEY KNEW WHAT WILL HAPPEN LATER.

"Igbo Akiri" refers to the former name of the community now known as Igbanke, located in Edo State, Nigeria. The name change occurred as part of the creation of Edo State in 1991, separating it from the Ika speaking group in Delta State. Igbanke is a community with six villages that predate the slave trade era.

I DONT KNOW WHY NIGERIANS ARE FOLLOWING US TO DRAG OUR FELLOW IGBOS, TELLING THEM TO DENY BEING IGBO.


THE TYPE OF THINGS THAT I'M SEEING IN THIS WORLD HAVE MADE ME ASK WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS AND GET TIRED OF ASKING.

JUST STRANGE, STRANGE BEHAVIOUR THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED OR RATIONAL.


U WILL NEVER SEE AN IGBO DRAG SOMEONE THAT IS NOT IGBO, BUT WE HAVE NIGERIANS DRAGGING IGBO PEOPLE, FROM FELLOW IGBO.


MAY GOD HELP YOU PEOPLE, BECAUSE UNA NEED SEVERE HELP.

Everyone knows their history in Edo state except the Oba who wants to claim territories that never belonged to him since time immemorial. He started with the Ijaws who have repeatedly called his bluff and now, he has moved to the Igbankes

They feel so important because they're in Rivers State (Oyel rich State).

Ikwerre wey their total population including unborn no reach Onitsha main market traders head count.

My annoyance sef is their refusal to stop bearing Igbo names yet denying being Igbo. That one dey vex me pass.

That Oba needs to be dealt with. He is crossing his boundaries without restrain. He needs to be seriously cautioned because his high-handedness is getting out of hand.

Very good, now that you have remembered your roots, why not leave Edoland and relocate to igboland?

Their land was carved into Edo state.
Edo state is not Edo land, Edo state is an artificial state.
They will happily have themselves and their land carved back to Anioma in Delta where they belong.

will this thread ever be allowed to see the lightof day, where people tell the truth?

or is it just lies and propaganda that will make FP?

pazienza:

This is common where you have administrative entities created. Remember that countries, states, LGAs are all artificial entities drawn up for administrative purposes. Simple. We have Yorubas in Edo state, Edo people in Ondo, Igala in Delta, Igbos in Kogi, and similar situations in boundaries between Akwa Ibom and Abia, Enugu and Benue etc. Artificial boundaries like states, LGAs and even countries will come and go, but indigenous people will remain

Igbanke should never have been carved into Edo State, they should have been with their fellow Ika in Delta State

almost the whole of Anambra West should have been carved as part of kogi state, the igalla speaking people of Anambra are resident there, they have never been igbos and will never be igbos, what do you say to that?

mynd44 seun, the same way u are quick to rush claims of not being igbo, is how u are suppose to rus claims of being igbo to fp.
it gives you and nairaland credibility as a nonpartisan neutral observer.

u are running a service and a business and that is your constituent.

u are a yoruba man from SW region, nothing concern u with igboland and igbo people.

u have no dog in this fight.

Looking at this confused protesters ones can say it was organized by one idiot from potopoto erosion ravaging.

It's aie you are looking for people why claiming river state people ikwerre say they are not igbo why your people claiming them... Igbo no level jare...

I heard the speech
It was more like they are not Edos but are Igbanke

I suggest you listen to them carefully too

Rabid Igbo hater
I hope you don't run mad

Finally. Igbanke people have freed themselves from the intimidation of the Benin people.
Congrats to them, and i rejoice with them.

What Benin people should realise is that Edo state is not homogeneous. Not everyone in Edo state is Edoid. Despite the misinformation of Benin people all over tiktok and other social media, you can't force people that are not Edo to be Edoid. Same Benin people have that stronghold over some other minorities in the SS.

The Usen in Edo state are Yorubas that are closely related to Owo and Ikale. Sooner, or later, the Usen will be free too.
