I am beginning to think that some people start tribal threads in order to insult Edo people.
No where here and anywhere else have you seen Edos claiming anybody. Rather, it has been the other way round. Why then do the Edos have to suffer from the another person's history? Leave us alone! If Jukuns say that they are Edos, leave them alone! If Efiks are Igbos, good for them! Leave Edos alone!

See this f00l URHOBO WAS NEVER PART OF BIAFRA because they were never wanted and still don't. Always the rejected ones are the ones constantly disturbing ppl and whining left and right. The f2k.

They walked past urhobo territory on their way to Lagos..the same way they walked past anioma territory as well. It like my @ss claiming ojukwu included anioma in Biafra because they walked through asaba, ogwashi and co. The f2k kind of stupidity are some of una eating.

Heck Biafra is not even the conversation talkless of f2king urhobo. Go seek attention somewhere else since na attention seeking LovePeddler you be and don't disturb me again.

You are mistaken as to my belief. I only punctured your argument with superior and logical ones.
We did not bear surnames before Europeans came to Africa. An Ateke-Tom is a recent entry into African culture. It does not determine heritage.
Many RETURNEES ended up answering the names of places they were residents of. An IDEMUDIA-COLE could have originally been Fante.
A cursory check of the names of Obis in Delta would reveal lot of Edo names until recently. Why did they not continue to use the Edo names?
Your surname as an alpha answer to heritage is illogical.

We did not not have surnames in Africa before the White man came? Who told you this? Olauda Equiano was born in Isi-Eke in present day Anambra state in 1745. He was sold into slavery in 1756. He later wrote a book called 'The interesting narrative of Olauda Equiano' in which he talked about Igbo culture and how important the last name or family name is to differentiate between family branches. In 1798 when EquIano wrote his book, the White man was still trading and buying slaves on the coast and had not even come inland to what would later be Nigeria. Igbos have always had surnames long before the White man came to West-Africa.

Simply warn your Edo folks to cease creating useless threads on NL to insult the Igbos. Tell them to respect themselves and stop seeking unnecessary attention by accusing Igbos of claiming Edoid groups.

Eastlink:
Ikwerre told their story my foot. Who told which story. Is it the useless story told by few men under duress for political gains and spread to younger ones in order to continue the cycle. But thank God that fake story stayed with areas like your community and not the whole of Ikwerreland. At least families like that of the Uche Okwukwu's, the Wonwu's and my in laws from Igirinta didn't buy that Edo nonsense.

onenaira3:


Then tell your bros to stop starting threads that would end up insulting una.

As for the bold, tell that to SE, not us from anioma. We know una, we deal with una distortion every time. I honestly don't blame una, the people I blame is our ancestors for not kicking you nigg@s out after defeating una invasions. I honestly don't blame you, I blame them.

Kagawa10:

The moment you implied that the whole anioma has an ibo ancestry!
Now tell me, is eka/agbor an ibo word?

Eastlink:
You guys better watch out. As for me I have long debunked that Benin migration nonsense from the psyche of my Ogba cousins. Even the Benin ancestral lies is gradually dying in Omoku the same way it did pre-civil war.

SupremeXYZ:
please what are you talking about?.Please Onenaira3,Eastlink,etc,warn your brother.I won't take this trash from him again.Ami ndo atai eyen Ibibio.All of you knows NDPVF.I won't take it lightly with him again.WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH ANY USELESS BINI TRIBE/KINGDOM WHATSOEVER!.

Anybody or publication liking us to Bini must be mad and useless.Therefore,discard such publication.Thanks.

It's been dying for awhile now. The denial used to be higher in the past than it is now at least for anioma. Idk about rivers Igbo.

Mumu! No one is insulting anyone here!

Don't you have some post to copy and paste at the moment?
Yeye!

If you are conversant with history, I am sure you know what owners or founders of territory is. Just like the history of other States we have people who settled in those States before others migrated there.

The Igbo people will still be treated as one just like what obtains in other countries of the world, but they will now be identified as Biafrans and no longer Delta igbos. They will have to have a passport for identification.

bokohalal:


How did you know that I did not want to mention how late Western education got to Bini people due to British discriminatory policy against them? Wow!

HopeAtHand:




On the contrary, the Uche Okwukwu's, the Wonwus and most assuredly your inlaw are claiming to be Igbos for the selfish personal interests..

The general consensus is Supreme over the selfish interest of your associates.

In any case, if they so love to be Igbo, they should move east into Igboland..they won't be missed.

onenaira3:


OMFG..dude GET A BRAIN TRANSPLANT. I'll keep saying this because you are the dumbest DUMBEST person I've ever met in my entire life.

First the word is IKA. Ika was first associated as eka by Isidore, a Benin writer, you fucking buf00n and till date it still not being used. The correct term is ika you dimwit.
Second IKA is an entire territory which consist of different communities. Agbor does not equal ika and ika does not equal agbor. Agbor is one community in ika you dimwit.
Lastly, go back to my post with agbor dein post and read.

After doing so, don't disturb me again with you illiterate rant unless you have something intelligent to contribute. I literally rather talk to a virus than you cause honestly even [s]a virus have more brain cells and more intelligent than you.[/s] a virus is likely to have brain cells which you do not have!

AreaFada2:


FYI,

The Edos are not forcing anyone to be part of them. Edo History, culture & civilastion is well known worldwide, perhaps one of the best known in Sub-Saharan Africa.
But people can chose to twist history if they wish.

Having lost the war against the British in 1897, Benin people accepted their fate of losing empire.

Upon restoration of the Monarchy 1914, Benin people accepted to end claims to territories/vassal lands in Eastern Yorubaland & Delta/Western Iboland, etc.

Benin people have moved on. So nobody should be stuck in the past.

Anyone can claim to have come from Mars originally it makes them happy.

Excellent comment

Eastlink:
Most times your comments puts you into silly trouble than you can ever imagine. I hate it when someone claims to be something, yet they keep making silly mistake. Wokem nye nga o ka ibu (speaking in Ikwerre), where did you say you came from again because my Emohua peeps are smart and hardly make such silly blunder. Be consistent wokem if you wanna chat intellectually with wene gi. Where are they located if not East. Apart from Ogoniland and Ijawland which neighbouring ethnic group stay close to them, if not the Igboid tribes. Maybe you are the only one around who see them in the West. Put on your glasses and tell me what you see. They are already in the EAST and nobody born of a woman can relocate them from that place.

Ugomba:
are you an efik or ibibio? Why claiming them?
There is a newspaper article where the Efik and Ibibio people identified their ancestry to Benin.. Your women style of dressing is copied from Benin..
The Name Efik means Son Of Water in Bini Language..

Dont act like you dnt know that in Nigeria the East is the 5 South East states..

Your inlaws an associates if found to be acting detrimental to our common cause will be gladly dumped into Igboland.

Because a virus has no cell whatsoever! Lol!
Prior to colonisation, the word was pronounced Eka before the British came and pronounced it Ika with their accent!
Whether ika or eka, none has ibo meaning!
I asked you earlier and will ask again, does the dein of Agbor put on ibo traditional attires or the bini's? How about the various areas in Agbor with bini names?
Yeye!

Language: Agbor spoke the ika dialect akin to other Igbo tongues, but the special vehile of the ika culture end image. It is distinct and dissimilar from Edo language and vice versa, even though some say that Agbor was once under the Oba’s rule. This was so because Benin was the first to acquire firearms from the Portuguese, and with which they terrorized the neighboring states. But this state of affairs lasted for only a short: Agbor liberated themselves before the 18th century. “Oru asuw Igbo; Igbo asuw Ika”: Agbor appears to be the credits of the Ika dialect and the citadel of Igbo heroes.

Everyone tells his story.You cant tell yours and tell mine aswell..it is not acceptable.

Ikwerres have told the story of their origin, and the reason for the assumed similarity between them and Igbos..because Igbos arent comfortable with Ikwerre history that clearly and truthfully explain the situation of things, they now resort to insults on Ikwerres.

Ikwerres do not care how the Igbos feel about our documented history..We will stick with our history and proudly restate it over again when necessary...Igbos shouldn't waste time and energy bothering over issues beyond them.

Ikwerre remain neighbours with Igbos, neighbours courtesy of migration..aside that, nothing else.

Hope is at hand.
