OK, just read a bit more about it.

It appears the Onojie misbehaved and was removed, someone close to him then decided to organise a group to say they were Ndigbo.

Good for them that some of them are now claiming Ndigbo as a result, hope we don't hear stories that touch when their second class Ndigbo citizenship is confirmed by Ndanambra and Ndimo.

Great.

The Agbor speaking people OF Edo State

omozu1:
Even the Agbor them claim to be says they are from Benin
I remember when I was very young when there was crisis in there kingship it was the oba of Benin palace they ran to and not ohanazi

LadyExcellency:
Ndi Anambra or Imo (colonial creation) is not a tribe/clan of Igbo nationality. The Ngwas, Aros, Owere, Nankas, Orlu, Afoikpo, Wawa, Obosi, etc, are people that make up Igbo ethnicity.

Mrfeel:
Why is a benin king oba?

ehikwe22:
These Igbos are comedian. Paid Azuka Okah to organize a group called Akiko Uwa, hired actors, publicise it on the Internet and claim it's Igbanke people

aswani:
I am intrigued, when did the Ìgbànke Community get forced to declare themselves Benin, why exactly can't they celebrate their being Ndigbo without making references to not being Obvedo, what have I missed exactly?

Do they have an Onojie in their community, I genuinely would be grateful for someone to tell me what is going on?

Edit: Apparently the Onojie was deposed and he or someone close to him remembered they were Ndigbo at that point and rallied a few people to protest.

Who are you to speak for Edo people??

Igbankes came as visitors and they are free to go back where they came from.

aswani:
Google Oranmiyan and/or Ekhaladeran.

Benin peopoe are not from Ifè.

Mrfeel:
Benin people are invaders , they invaded little clans and tribes conquered them and imposed their kings on them, if you read the history of every clan or minority tribe that was once under Benin kingdom their history starts with they running away from the oba of Benin

EmeeNaka:
They had Eze, and Obi as Royal until 1982, when they were hoodwinked into adopting Enojie and claim bini. But recently, Oba of Benin suspended their Enojie and they quickly rejected it and reverted back to Eze and Obi and announcing they're Igbo and that their Kings are monarchical, not by appointment or anything. And that they're not beholden to the Oba of Bini, as they're autonomous and have different culture. They definitely didn't know what Enojie even mean. They were lured into adopting it.

UKEMY:
Okay
Why didn't Benin Kingdom invaded and spread beyond present day Edo state?
I believe the Benin Empire wasn't interested in taking territories but rather getting tributes

Mrfeel:
I asked you a simple question why is the benin king called oba?

aswani:
And I have told you how to find the (comprehensive) information you need.

Benin being ruled by an Ọba doesn't translate to Benin coming from Ìfẹ́.

Mrfeel:
You can't be ruled by a foreign king if you don't belong there

The people of yeruba land should stay away from what did not concern them the Edo and Bini people know igbanke people are igbo but yeruba will Cary the matter for head like if is their business.

clefstone:
Igbo as an ethnic group is a concept created as a result of colonialism. Igbo is not a race/tribe/ethnic group but a language spoken by a people of diverse origin and culture that live in a contiguous geographic space

No na people weh come from ile Ife to form ile ibinu for another mans land go vacate.

UKEMY:
This is one of the reason other South south tribes don't trust igbo's.
Average Igbo Person sees himself as been wiser than other tribes.
Igala's are indigenous to Anambra and Enugu
But you will never hear Atta Igala make issues out of it.

They're all over social media debunking it. Igbanke has always insisted that they're not Benin by ethnicity. They've always insisted that they're Ika. The Igbo expansionist movement led by Nna Meh TV, Spirit Almighty and the rest contracted Azuka Okah and formed the akiko Uwa group which They've used for propaganda for a few years now. There's lots of sponsorship coming from certain Igbo people and Ned Nwoko was also involved. We've infiltrated their groups and I have a lot of information into what's actually going on. Expansion and access to the sea in eventual biafran independence. They're willing to go to any length to achieve their dreams. We the indigenous Ika people are watching and we'll act proactively because we won't permit anyone to play politics with our identity

aswani:
When did they come from Ile Ifẹ, where did you read that?

Zeezenho:
Because Yoruba race is far older than bini as a tribe. A tribe bini can not be father to a race Yoruba.
