Onitsha Mmili was known as Ado N'Idu by migrants who departed from the vicinity of the Kingdom of Benin near the far western portion of Igboland (near what is now Agbor), after a violent dispute with the Oba of Benin that can be tentatively dated to the early 1500s. These migrants traveled eastward through what is now Western Igboland and various towns also called "Onitsha", for example Onicha-Ugbo, "farmland-Onitsha". Folklore has it that, Onitsha was founded by one of the sons of Chima, the founder of Issele-Uku kingdom in western Igboland. Chima, a prince who emigrated, settled and founded what is now known as Issele-Uku in Aniocha North Local Government Area. The eldest son of Chima eventually emigrated across the Niger River to establish the Onitsha community.
After their arrival on the east bank (Onicha-mmili, "Onitsha-on-water", see above), the community gradually became a unitary kingdom, evolving from a loosely organized group of "royal" villages to encompass "non-royal" villages comprising Igala settlers, and the native Igbos to form a more centralized entity. Eze Aroli was apparently the first genuinely powerful Obi of Onitsha, the ruler of the city.

What is the Benin name of Eze Chima? None exists. This should be a pointer to a story that is not fully revealed yet. Most migrations eastward were made by kings that had Igbo names, including Akalaka and ihuroha of Ikwerre land. Why don't they have Benin names? Why?

Benin was a great Kingdom and a cosmopolitan and spiritual capital back then. This may have attracted the movement of who is who in adjoining regions including Igboland to the Benin Kingdom and they may have been assimilated and given positions and heritages in the Benin Kingdom.

When divisive trouble came to Benin people like Eze Chima had to migrate back to Igboland, their original homeland with all their people leading to the formation of all the Igbolands on both sides of the Niger river.

This is a story that makes more sense to me and would explain why these areas have traditions that are a mixture of those of Benin Kingdom and Igboland.

Kudos to Ooni of ife for his tremendous effort to restore peace once again. Oustanding Royal father. Unlike others who consider only the interest of his people e.g Alaafin of oyo, am not an hypocrite iffa see I go talk am wink Remember what he said to the run up of the 2019 general election

This is what royal fathers should do. Not like the one that threatened to drown a particular tribesmen in the lagoon if they went against his political wish.

Ezechima was one of the Aro slaves to Benin. Like Jaja of Opobo, he was hardworking and earned his place in the palace. But during the scuffle, he and his people began the long movement eastward. They founded the Umuezechima towns of present Delta State, he died in Onitsha around the 17th Century. Truth is he brought a lot of ancient Benin influences on the great city.

Eze Chima was originally from Ohafia, they were brought to Benin to teach the Oba of benin and his palace how to read and write in Nsibidi and other spiritual issues.But there was a time when problem came,Eze Chima and his co-travellers has to find their way eastward. They fought wars in with one of the daughter's of the Oba of Benin was killed. They defeated Benin and even came back with Benin war mask still there in the Eze's palace. If you know, you know. And the history is not hidden.

Relics of history will always tell you something about the past,present and the future.

Have a close look at the traditional cap of the Eze Eri, and that of Ooni of Ife. Then judge for yourselves where the head below is coming from, or those who have the land where the head was discovered.
