You are an Igbo man whether you like it or not. You can't sugarcoat our origin.

oweniwe:
I want to ask you a question.

Was there anything like "Igbo" before the colonial times?

Timoleon:
I think they have should be able to make that claim. Most of the names up there are Igbo names not Bini.

That’s the next point, search for how we started answering Igbo names, it’s by association my guy. Well, no need arguing with you. Okowa is removing Ned, and all these talks will be a think of the past my guy.

Iweakbro:
Who is our? Lol. So those that speak Yoruba all over the world must be forced to be of the Nigerian origin? Abi those in Igbanke, Edo are also Igbos because they speak something similar to Igbo?

If they leave you inferiority complex lots, you will even claim Akwa Ibom and Calabar. We can speak the same or similar dialects, but that doesn’t necessitate claiming the same origin my guy. Besides Asaba and immediate environs, I can bet my life, you won’t understand anything spoken.

Kc3000:
Well, they were never Bini people. There are Igbo people that migrated from areas within the Benin empire to their current locations. Not surprising, there are indigenous Igbo in Edo till date.

NCANCHAIR:
What about your culture, traditions and belief system? What about your spirituality and the pantheons in Ukwuani(deities)? Why do they all resonate with the Igbo system, no similarities with the Bini’s. There are loads of questions and research that needs to be done by you people because you can’t get all these just by association or by proximity.

You people should stop coming online to spill jargons

A normal work on you now an BOOM

You are not even from Delta

Maybe far far away Ogun state and then typing rubbish

Iweakbro:
Little kid, I’m from Oshimili North, Delta State. Atuma, to be precise. You guys in the east don’t even like us. You make jest of us and say: “Are we Igbos?” Your fake love is because; you guys only want to claim territory.

My joy is that, Okowa is returning to quash the south easterners and Ned’s delusions.

Ovilikom2:
What is the concern between Ned , okowa and Ndokwa nation ?
You guys will just sit in your weird rooms and type jargons because of politics

How is it by association?

Including the Ika you mentione
And Ndokwa are all igbos and not Benin origin ...take that to the bank

I am also from ndokwa you can't tell me my origin more than me ..

Iweakbro:
Little kid. Their concerns is that, Ned wants to be governor by all means and which is why he wants to take advantage of the need to add an additional state to the east—and zone Anioma to the south east. Okowa is of the stance that we should t be zoned to the east. Do we speak Igbo? Yes, but do we want to be zoned to the east? No!

If you’re truly from Ndokwa(you liar) you should know by now, that Ndokwa is among the parts of Anioma that has stood firmly agains joining the south east.

After foaming in the mouth,note that I am from Aboh , onuebukwu quarters , ndokwa east local government..the capital..
My king is theobonwe the cannon used to fight British is still close to marine.. go and read about the ekumeku war and how it ndokwa was linked ...

So baby child listen, I don't know about you , yes anioma is Igbo you can cry or deny all you want because your father was scared to the point of claiming delta-igbo .. that is your cup of tea..

Oshimili, ndokwa,Ika all are igbos ..go and cry ..

Ovilikom2:
Baby child

I don't know if you skipped school or prefer weed than food ...

You can clearly see the topic of the thread

What is the concern with Ned, okowa and Ndokwa nation regarding this topic ?

Iweakbro:
We speak Igbo, you can associate with them, it’s your choice. And little kid, Ndokwa has always stood against being joined to the south east. https://thesun.ng/ndokwa-ukwani-leaders-reject-creation-of-anioma-state-in-south-east/?amp

Furthermore, Ned is going out the door, with his ambition to join the south east—all because he wants to be governor by all means.

Iweakbro:
Little kid, your argument was on Anioma state and I’m am listing the actors for and against. Cry all you want, we won’t go to the south east lol.

Ovilikom2:
Baby child , if you want to like it or not

Anioma is Igbo

Like I said again you can cry

oweniwe:
You didn't read it well ...

There is no point where the the history said there from Benin.

The history said Benin military assistance was sought... But when the Benin soldiers came, they didn't see who they were to fight against which made them angry and they turned on who invited them.

Some mixing might have happened there

Iweakbro:
We are not arguing that. Just like Igbanke in Edo is Igbo. But for your pains, we’re not joining the south east lol.

Yet another account opined that Onuma, the founder of Ezhionum originally settled with his brothers Okpor and Ebu at a place near Okumeshi stream some kilometers away from present day Obiaruku under the leadership of their father, Akashiede, whose parents fled from Benin due to incessant wars. But after sometime, Onuma became bored living with his parents and brothers and had to move away with his wife, Ezhie and they finally settled at a place near the River Niger which is now known as Asaba.

But after many years, Onuma decided to flee Asaba and return to his kinsmen near Okumeshi stream because of a serious power take which did not favour him, as the great warriors from Benin empire who he sought for help in the hands of Eware the Great of the then Benin empire regrettably turned against him and his people.

Before the arrival of Onuma and his people, his parents had died and Okpor and Ebu had settled at the present settlements of Eziokpor and Umuebu respectively. However, Onuma and his family were asked to settle at the centre and they originally settled at Obiaka before moving to its (Ezhionum's) present location.

After they had settled in Ezhionum according to the first account, Ossai the first son of Ezhie and Onuma who was nicknamed "Eweka Onyeidu", in remembrance to the great warrior who ruled with the Oba of Benin, had there male children namely: Odumegwu, Osele, and Ine. And later, Ine also gave birth to Osumili, Ughomeh and Ezeogbu. It is interesting to note here that Ine gave his children these names in reflection to the stories he heard from his elder brother Ossai. For instance, Osumili reflected River Niger which they formerly lived close to while Ugbomeh and Ezeogbu reflected the names of some great warriors in Asaba.

Correspondingly, the first quarter in Ezhionum was named after the nickname of Ossai (Eweka Onyeidu) the first son of Ezhie and (also), the five families in Aweka are the true true reflection of Ossai's children and and grandchildren namely Umu-Okpala Odumegwu, Ogbe-Osele, Umu-Ugbome, and Umu-Nzeogbu.

Good after complaining on nairaland, please come and tell us in ndokwa, that we should not support an extra state to be zoned to the east..

You saw us when we went to government house close to ibori golf Court Asaba , near nfant Jesus roadto protest with our brother from oshimili abi ?

After typing here come and tell us face to face on ground

Iweakbro:
Those that make decisions in Ndokwa will not agree to your online rant lol. https://thesun.ng/ndokwa-ukwani-leaders-reject-creation-of-anioma-state-in-south-east/?amp

Go through my post, since 2024 I’ve been saying Okowa is coming back to end this joke. I wasn’t speculating, I was speaking from a place of deep seated information. Anyways, keep arguing until the primary for senate is concluded. Lol

Ovilikom2:
Like I said again when you are done talking come and meet us on ground..

Okowa is speaking for his own selfish gain and not for anioma

And it will fail for him this time ..

Iweakbro:
Little kid, kings in your community are against it.

What’s your perceived benefit for joining the south east? I’m all ears.

Baby child ..you don't know history and you never want to learn...

Like I said when you are done talking come and meet us on ground.. when we started from igbanke folks like you said it was a joke

Both your bag of rice elders and kings including okowa.. I want to see how you people will change FACT and the soul of people against their own root

WhizdomXX:
Okowa that never supported Anioma state creation until he saw that most of us were in support of it. The only thing is Ned and his team was too adamant on the south east, whereas most of us prefer being with our Niger Delta/south-south brothers which Okowa has now used to his benefit.
Both have their political reasons.
