| Between The Bini Empire Of Those Days And The Igbos, Who Were More Powerful?? by Uniben4sure(op): 12:11pm On Jan 10, 2016 |
I am asking this question in order to put to rest the lies being peddled by some so called south southerners, that Aniomaland in present day Delta state once belonged to the Binis but was "grabbed" by the igbos. Any good student of history knows about the once great Bini empire and how they tried to expand to other territories in the southern Nigeria(including Lagos)through the help of the white man. So, the question is, if the Bini empire was so powerful, how then did the igbos succeed in "grabbing" their supposed land up to igbanke? All evidence, including physical looks and linguistic points to the fact that inhabitants of Aniomaland, igbanke, and even Esanland were originally igbos, but were corrupted by the binis. Your opinions are highly welcome. |

Bini people will finish them in a couple of seconds. Igbos are nowhere near the binis when it comes to fighting or jaguda. Believe me I've lived with them and I know how they are. They're the last people you want to have a problem with cos their problem with you will never end. Bini people are a no go area. |

I need people like TonyeBarcanista, Atbu1983 and other members of "we are nigerdelta republic crew" to answer my question. |

During the reign of Oba Ewuare the Great . . . .He subdued vast territories in the Igbo dominated regions . . . . . Empires in the course of their lifetime are bound to loose boundary territories to neighboring invading armies . . . . But make no mistake, the Benin Empire was one of the most powerful empires in the West African region . . . . |

tombraokoto:Bini people of today are like a grasscuter is to a tiger when compared to the Igbo's. But my question is, how come the binis of yesteryears, with all their influence and powers were "defeated" and their lands "grabbed" by the Igbo's, that's going by what people like Barcanista and co post on nairaland? |

I am an anioma from delta state. I can realiably inform you that the Oba Of Bini had dominion and probably still has till today up to the ogbaru people of anambra state. |

jmaine:I have always acknowledged the hitherto greatness of the Bini empire. But, I seriously doubt that they could have lost their territories up to igbanke to the Igbo's. |

Lol ![]() comparing the great benin empire to igbo empire is like comparing a primary school graduate to a university graduate LOL..When the likes of benin, and oyo empire were dominating in southern nigeria. Igbos were still naked in the wilderness play hide and seek with their ancestors(gorrillas)

Ofcourse! The Bini empire is more powerful because the Igbo rival & superior - The Yorubas; and the Binis share some cultural & historical relations, and therefore are like P.enis & Vagina - totally inseparable. ![]() |

Uniben4sure:Is that the reason why obi of onitsha pay homage to benin kingdom. And dress in benin attires instead of igbo |

When Yorubas talk about history, I laugh. A history that left yoruba women with inability to cook well or with good soups or A noisy language or Dirty Hygiene or their noise making drum.. .. IGBOS, Our Ancestors made us fortefied, Beautiful People, Good Foods, Sweet Language, Music, Industrious, Intelligence etc. NO WONDER THE SCRATCHED MARK UGLY EWEDU PEOPLE ARE HATING. |

Udmaster:I am not a Bini man but Yoruba and we had a Trans-west african empire, I am speaking neutrally. Roman empire was Republican at a time. It was centrally coordinated unlike igbo that discriminate even amongst its own people. The OSU |

Udmaster:If all Igbo were to return home, you people will not be able to deal with the ensuing population density. Igbo are sentenced to eat from abroad. I am proud of you people in the area of financial discipline and I used your methods. That is the only positive I can lay my mind on. |
