This is why people who speak the same language should not be subdivided into different states with those who have a completely different language

During the creation of Edo State in the 90's, the Igbanke people were carved into Edo State when they should have been left in Delta State with their fellow Ika's

This has now caused a situation where the Oba of Bini feels these people are his subjects when they are not.

Most unfortunate.

Irony1:
It is not attention seeking, it is fact.

Christistruth02:
Azikiwe insisted that the Yoruba speaking Kwara belonged to the North and mustn't
be part of the west and he was so adamant he completely rejected all reasonable arguments on the matter so considering that this your argument get k-leg

Irony1:
How are they fighting their allies? Telling the Oba that he is over reaching his bounds is that what you call fighting? Na wah for una ooooo

IBefore the arrival of the British, igbanke land was part of the Benin kingdom .They were never part of any Igbo republic or kingdom. The Benins let freed Igbo slaves to settle on Benin land does not mean the land does not belong to the Benins.

Bendeco02:


Oba of Benin have to threat with caution and not to allow himself be used politically.

Igbanke is a seperate tribe on it's own and not under his kingdom.

If he shows his strength to Igbanke because he sees them as minority then he is doing mistake because if they team up with Ika nation, i doubt if Benin are more than Anioma alone.

When we talk about Anioma, Onitsha in Anambra with Ogbaru, Oguta in Imo and Ndoni in Rivers are among. Benin are not more than Eze Chima clan if we are to settle the matter by gra gra

Bobodee09:
You people always dish what you can't take.

If they respond accordingly now you will play the everyone hate igbo victim card.

Irony1:
That is a big lie. Igbanke was never part of Benin kingdom, it was under the Ika division. Make una take am easy to dey lie.

Vinnie2000:
I pity Igbanke Pple Sha.

I don't know how Babangida could NOT make them be part of the Ikas in Delta state.

You will see somebody bearing Ngozi and she tells you she is from Edo state.

While the Igbo people are primarily known to inhabit the Southeastern region of Nigeria, there are pockets of Igbo communities within Edo State, particularly among the Ika people. The Ika people, who are an Igbo subgroup, are also found in Delta State. Notably, Igbanke, a community in Orhionmwon, Edo State, belongs to the Igbo language-speaking Ika group.

Ikaeniyan0:
Igbanke is part of Edo land, anybody that feels he or she is an Igbo should leave Edo land.

Cruzmaster:
We don't need Edo as ally. They are more like Yoruba people. They share same ancestry with Yoruba. We can't abandon our people to please oba. He should rule over his people and let Igbanke people breathe!

temitope27:
they should pack their load and leave then

Myrepublic:
Una don fit settle Una seat at home finish.. see his mouth like gra gra

Mabuggi88:
Edo state is the closest South east ally. The OYC or whatever they called themselves should apply wisdom in solving this issue diplomatically.
Meanwhile igbanke know their root, no two ways about it. It's just something to put heads together and solve and not these Media bruhaha

Irony1:
Oga stop commenting on things you don't know. These are indigenous igbo communities, this doesn't concern you please just be silent

Karlman:
When the Oba returns to Ife where his Ancestors came from.

SmartyPants:
You never said this before the elections though! But this is good...shout it louder so foolish Edo youths can hear you very well.

peterincredible:
we the anioma's need to clip his wings we don't need the whole Igbo nation on this matter we the anioma's will humble him and the entire Benin

SadiqBabaSani:
Nonsense, Igbo youths should stop fighting their most probable allies
