A trouser?

YourNemesis:
All the towns founded by so called Benin princes have been taken over by Igbos.
lol. Or have the Benin's been lying about the might of their empire and the origin of those towns?
lol.... As a Yoruba man my being is going with the first, that these towns were Originally Benin. But thinking more deeply I am inclined to go with the second. These towns were never fully Benin but nixed Benin and Igbo, with igbo being the majority constituent.

YourNemesis:
Chaaaiii..... Where are my Benin and Edo people? See una lives outside..
I agree with you ultimately.
The Benins shot themselves in the foot.

Initially they wanted to have the midwest to themselves and rule over it as supremes, and having some sort of pseudo empire, where Benin city would be Alpha, thinking that we were still in the age of empires.
By the time everyone is done. Benin might end up being just Oredo, Egor and Ikpoba Okha.
And god help them by then.

hammerF:
Yorubas can lie ehn... Wat they had were Oyo slave raiders.

Cire80:
These towns were never fully Bini of course but Igbo is never the majority constituents. Anioma for example is mixed with many different people but Igbos are on a mission to wipe out any trace of Bini in Anioma land. They plan to achieve this through propaganda and fabrications and if you put their population into consideration, you will understand how simple this is for them to achieve.

Cire80:
Anioma people were not marginalized in Midwest. I know many people from my area that were ministers and also held many good positions in both Midwest and Bendel. Even the Edo States government house is still named after an Anioma man from Asaba.

gregyboy:
yea kingdom falls kingdom rise
but nomatter how it goes history will always repeat him self thats y uptill now the benis are still making history eg
1.in the lives of daniel the boy who climbed airplane tyre he is benin
2anini nigeria most worst terrorist
so on i cnt mention benin is blessed already people far and near will always find thier back to the empire

YourNemesis:
lol, get over yourself, Benin is gone for good.... its size and influence will only continue to shrink.
There are already numerous Yoruba cocoa farmers in Ovia South West for example, establishing towns and raising populations there.
Even the Ijaws are claiming towns and villages in Edo state.

gregyboy:
that in later yrs will bring more confusion i have to start writingg how yorubas came to ovia south west to farm b4 30yrs from they start formulating anoda histories of lies by yorubas

Cire80:
This has been the mission of the Igbos and they're already succeeding in Anioma and other minority groups around them. You people use your population to achieve this evil. Sometimes I wonder if what is happening to the Igbos is as a result of how they treat the minority groups around them. This may be karma catching up with you people.

cheruv:
Anioma has always been Igbo so I don't see that as an achievement
We used population during the slave trade era but now,we'd use it in combination with another method that ensures that your Edo people adopt Igbo mannerisms,culture and language subconsciously. Maybe the only place that may still be speaking Bini in Idu would be the palace. It has already happened in Ekpon and is spreading across the rest of ishanland.

vicenzo:
Nawao!
Nnaa, take it easy o! There is no need for these acts of provocation towards Binis/ Ishans.

These Yoruba guys are setting you up against the Edos, puting you up on collision course with them, and you are buying it hook, line and sinker.
All this type your post would elicit from the Edos towards the Igbo is more Igbophobia, and that's what these Yorubas are counting on.

You don't build bridges with such posts as yours.
in as much as Ndiigbo want to rid western Igboland of all Edo influence that was planted there centuries ago, we have no interest in Igbonizing the Edos, as the Edos have an ancestral obligation to preserve their own heritage.

Ngozi123:
Lmao. If this is the case then I wonder what will happen to the Bini people as a result of their actions during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade . A Bini poster on this thread even praised his people for selling people from other ethnic stocks but not their own. What a shame...

Compared to the other 2 major tribes in Nigeria, I would say that the Igbos have been the least violent to their surrounding neighbouring minority tribes. Look at the Oyo Empire expansion and how the Christian and Animist minority groups have been treated in the North. Btw, 'Anioma' is not in itself a minority group, I'm tired of people acting like everyone in Anioma is the same. I have more of a connection to an Enuani person in Delta state than an Ika person does and I belong to a majority ethnic group.

Cire80:
you're wrong. If you're from Ogbaru, you might feel more connected to Enu-ani than you feel connected to Ika but please don't don't try to compare the connection you feel with Enu-ani to Ika Enuani connection they're not even close at all. If you're not in Anioma, you will never understand us

Ngozi123:
You do know that Enuani- the dialect- is not restricted to Delta State, right?

Better Arrange Yourself Well before i use EDO WAY solve your yoruba problem untop this thread!!

RedboneSmith:
Which other communities speak Enuani?

Ngozi123:
According to these websites, outside of Delta State, the Enuani dialect is spoken in Onitsha, Obosi, Ogbaru in Anambra State and the Ndoni people in Rivers State. There'll be some slight variances but I think that the dialects are similar enough to be grouped as one otherwise why would be listed as so?

cheruv:
No bro in this particular case we're saying the same thing...I even heard the Igbonization stuff is spreading all over ishan land

martha89:
Ekpon is mixed with Esan and there is nothing like igbonization maybe in Delta.

RedboneSmith:
Okay, thanks. But i think the authors of the articles in the links would have been more correct if they had said Enuani dialect is related to those dialects rather than saying they are the same. Ndoni speaks Ukwuani-Aboh, rather than Enuani. Onitsha diverges significantly from Enuani, although they still show strong links. One example: Onitsha doesn't call cow 'eshi' like they do in Enuani, but 'evi'.

I don't know how they speak in Obosi and Ogbaru, so I cannot comment on that.

Nne I know you're Ishan and to be frank...the Great Igbo Nation doesn't give a damn about your lots!
Lemme ask you... Do you know what "Igbonization" is

This is what happens when a people subconsciously change their language and mannerisms to an Igbo one. From what I read somewhere like three to four months ago, I read that Ekpon used to be an Ishan language area but have now switched to the ika Igbo dialect. And now the phenomena is slowly spreading across Ishanland. I don't know how long it'd take...maybe a century or half a century, but we'd get there definitely

laudate:
Re-ea-ally?? Please tell us more!! So who are these people ascribing Igbo origins to the Esan people?

hammerF:
Wat is the difference between Bini, Esan and Ika?

Esan is a distinct group from Bini though descended from Bini, liek the urhobo.

The Bini descended from the Ika and Igbanke Igbo. Bini origin is in Nri.

laudate:
ROTFLMAO!! Bini descended from what??! Biko, don't let anyone hear you repeating this abomination!! I am begging you, please...for your own good. Otherwise, that wedding you are dreaming of conducting with that fine Onitsha chic Ngozi123 will never happen.
