Because Ikwerre speak igbo language and dress like igbos doesn't mean they are Igbos.
The French policy of Assimilation had it that all the French colonies Senegal, Cameroon, Togo etc must speak and dress and assimilate the Culture of France even till when they all had Independence they still have that French Culture deeply rooted in their way of life.
Now lemme ask because they speak French and dress like French does that make them French Men?
You know the answer.
So Ikwerre are not Igbos, before and during the Civil war Igbos invaded Ikwerre and killed all our men, raped and married our women and forced their language on our parents, renamed our communities to Igbo names and then that's how Igboid influence spread throughout Ikwerre, Etche-Igbo and Ndoni land.
I know you're apparently Pained because our eyes have been enlightened and if a referendum is to be conducted then 99% of Riverians will remain in Nigeria and detest Biafra.

The two ancient tribes in the south, bordering the delta are nri culture and Benin empire, all other people's spread out from these lands over time...we just started hearing about Ijaw a few centuries ago, there were people who migrated to the riverine areas to get economic activity and a new life for themselves, the other people on the other side, are the ile-ife people, the aworis of Lagos came out from this group... these were the protagonists of the South.

It is obvious you are still in the early 17th and 18th century and civilization has long departed from you.














Awao!!
This Oba Ewuare ll has truly desecrated the great Benin Kingdom.
He is just gallivanting from one place to other. Oba that is not supposed to leave d palace
The other day he attended Pastor Felix Omobude church instead of attending Holy Church of Arusa at Akpakpava which was his fore-fathers church and Benin traditional church.
He even went to Abuja last year.
I hope he will not travel outside Nigeria before this year end.

His father Oba Erediuwa will be weeping at where he is cos of what this Oba is doing.

I even heard that he change the ancient custom of Oba not seeing the apparent hair to the throne, he now sees his Edaiken of Uselu.

It's high time all the Enogies nd Chiefs in Benin call him to order

Afonjas are jealous of us knowing that we occupy the rich oil lands in delta and rivers that's why they are doing everything the can to separate Igbo's from the igbiod subgroups infact general Gowon confessed that after the civil war they had to divide the east into smaller states to stop them from uniting and breaking away from Nigeria



Afonjas love our culture they want to be like us look at how happy this afonja is after kneeling to receive an Igbo title

So if u didn't say d Oba went to Rivers for business, then what is d relevance of ur business analogy to this discussion? How does it justify or explain why d oba went to PH?

D question i asked u is what business was d Oba involved in b4 he became oba of Benin? U are talking of d Oba not being jobless. Is my question about whether he was jobless or not? Since u saw his biography b4 his installation and u are familiar with Google, u shouldn't have a problem telling me d business he was involved in.

U say Lucky Igbinedion is a heir. A heir to what? How's he a heir? Does Edo state not have a government house that u are asking whether where Lucky slept for 8years? Where was he sleeping b4 he built d imaginary govt house u say he built in his fathers compound? Did u see any government house in his father's compound?

Which gate did people stay outside to protest regularly and for what purpose? Pls share ur videos & pictures. I will be very glad to see them. Let me even ask. Do u live in Benin city? Have u lived there b4 and for how long?

Seems you have problems with comprehension, good day.
Please avoid my posts next time.
Flight to PH is not more than one hour, so you can go and meet him one on one and ask why he is in PH or alternatively, if you are not in a hurry to get answers you can see him at his Palace in Benin when he comes back.
Hearing from the horse's mouth should be more beneficial to you.
Thank you.

After what looked like a clever way to explain his refusal to shake hands with the Ooni of Ife at a recent function in Lagos, the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has come out to make another categorical statement that he should not be associated with the Yoruba culture and tradition, which most critics said he violated. Palace Watch had reported that Lagos had a way of greeting, which was what Palace sources explained was observed, when the two Obas met.

But last week, in Lagos, the Oba said Lagos State is not part of Yoruba land. According to a statement from Iga Idugaran, Palace of the Lagos King, Oba Akiolu was quoted as saying: “I was told by my late paternal grandmother, who was a descendant of Oba Ovonranwen Nogbaisi, and with facts from historical books, let me share this knowledge with you all on Eko or Lagos, as it is popularly called.

“Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin. Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, and he it was that named the town Eko, until the Portuguese explorer, Ruy de Segueira, changed the maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition centre down the African Coast.


“It was a major centre of slave trade, until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British colonial period. The remainder of modern day Nigeria was seized in 1886, when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914, Lagos was declared its capital, due to the struggle of the Bini King.

“Lagos experienced growth prior to the British Colonial rule, but even more rapid growth during the colonial rule throughout the 90s till date. Thanks to the Aworis, Binis, Yorubas and migrants across the nation and the world at large, as no particular group of people can take the glory alone.

“Lagos is made up of lagoons and creeks. These are the Lagos Lagoon, Lagos Harbour, Five cowrie creeks, New Canal, Badagry creeks, Kuramo waters and Lighthouse Creeks.

“The Aworis and Binis are known to be the first settlers of the Eko land. The Aworis are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of Yoruba language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Aworis were found in Ile-ife; they were known to be the Binis, who followed their self-exiled prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose stepmother was after his head.

“The exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa, known to Yoruba as Ooduwa (Oduduwa), was made ruler of the Ife people due to his powers and followers from the great Benin Kingdom.

“Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the first king of Ile-Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father’s Kingdom in Benin are today’s Awori people, who settled in Eko now called Lagos.

“In the 1300s, the King of Benin Empire heard from one of his traders, who were settlers in Eko, of how the Binis were treated by the Aworis who lived in their areas. Upon hearing this, the King of Benin commanded the assembly of a war expedition, led by his son, Prince Ado, which headed (for) the settlement of the Aworis and demanded explanation.


“On arriving Eko, Prince Ado and his army were more than welcomed. The Aworis asked the Bini Prince to stay and become their leader. Ado agreed on the condition that they surrender their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the people agreed. On hearing this, the King of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko.

“The Oba of Benin sent some of his chiefs, including the Eletu, Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist his son, Oba Ado in the running of Eko.

“From the crowning of Prince Ado, as the first Oba of Lagos, (then called Eko), Lagos served as a major centre for slave trade. The Aworis, the Oba of Benin and his son, the Oba of Lagos and all the children/descendants, who took over as his successors for over four centuries supported the trade.

“The Oba of Benin was the head of the Benin Empire, which are presently the modern day western, southern and eastern Nigeria. The king never forced anyone to speak the Bini language, as he believed everyone was entitled to their own choice of language.

“The name Eko was given to it first, by the king of Lagos, Oba Ado, the young and vibrant prince from Benin. Eko was the land now known as Lagos Island, where the king’s palace was built.

“The palace is called Idugaran, which means “palace built on pepper farm.” Oba Ado and the warriors from Benin, together with the early Bini settlers in Eko and the Awori people settled in the southern part of Eko, called “Isale Eko.” “Isale literally means downtown (as in down town Lagos).


“Until the coming in of the Benin in 1300 AD, Lagos’ geographical boundary was Lagos mainland. Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos, then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing post. No one was living there.

“About 1450 AD, some Yorubas, who hailed from Isheri in Ogun State and Ekiti were allowed by the King to settle in Eko during a war. They came in very large numbers, thereby surpassing the numbers of the Aworis and Binis. Hence the Yorubas’ claim to own Eko, due to their numbers.

“Oba Ado fell in love with a beautiful woman, whose father was Awori and the mother, a daughter to one of the chiefs. They had two sons and a daughter, Erelu Kuti, who begot Ologun Kutere, who later became king.”

Thank you.

Did u even comprehend urself and d comments u made? I don't think u did. Since u were asking if I didn't read about Oba Ewuare's biography b4 his inauguration, I was assuming that u did. Unfortunately, u didn't hence u are sounding lost when I asked u to tell me what business he was doing b4 he became governor.

Also, u came up with a story that Lucky igbinedion built a government house in Gabriel igbinedions compound. Am sure u have no idea what Gabriel igbinedion's compound looks like and u are making unsubstantiated and frivolous claims.

U also came up with a cock and bull story that lucky igbinedion is a heir. I have asked u, heir to what? How is he a heir? U don't no. Now these lies u told, did u go to Benin to ask lucky if he is a heir b4 u came up with d idea that he is a "heir"? U made a very clownish and ignorant statement that "heirs don't sleep outside" in Benin. What d hell does that mean? Am sure u have never even been to Benin b4.

Was it from d "horses mouth" that u heard that Lucky igbinedion was sleeping in his father's house during his 8years as governor? Did u see with your eyes ur imaginary government house inside Gabriel igbinedion's compound?

U have been confronted with d truth and now u are saying "Please avoid my posts next time". Only a coward says such things after he has been busted. Now that I didn't avoid ur post, what are u going to do about it?

Meanwhile, I am waiting for d videos and pictures that u say u have of people "protesting at d gate". Uptill now, u haven't told me d gate were they were protesting
