History Of Etche People In Rivers State. by Ctorch: 4:46pm On Jun 20, 2020 |
Etche people migrated from Benin. THE BENIN ORIGIN: In a very ambitious attempt to construct the historical past of Etche, Achonwa (1980) traced the migration of the people from a particular place and point in time. According to him: The Etche people left the Benin Kingdom about 7th century. They moved up to Agbor, and entered the Orashi River through Ndoni. Creek-settling for brief while at the present-day Omoku … they moved eastwards up to Abua. They crossed Abua to Ndele on land; stopping finally at Igbo, the first Etche settlement. There is the speculation that “this horde” was an amalgam of many other tribes, which according to Achonwa included the Ikwerres, Abuans, Ekpeyes, etc. He submits that this was responsible for the settlement known as Ikwerre-Ngwo – a conglomerate of peoples. According to Onyema (2000), Etche is part of the Benin in Diaspora of the fourteenth century. He moved along with the Ogbas, Ekpeyes and Ikwerres. They crossed the River Niger from one spot and spread themselves southwesterly and southeasterly from the spot they crossed the River Niger. This myth has some credence. There is similarity of language among the Ogbas, the Ikwerres and the Etches. There is also similarity of language between the “Etches” and Igbodos” of Delta State. “Igbodo” is a town between Asaba and Agbor in Delta State. There is a town called Obite in Ogba land and Obite town in Etche. Also, an address sent to the Ekpeye people in their annual “OGWU EKPEYE” cultural festival by the Oba of Benin confirmed this aspect of the history. The present Oba of Benin was one time Divisional Officer in the then Ahoada Division, which comprised Etche, Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Ogba and Abua. They were then known as clans. |

Hogwash. I can write my own and claim that Yoruba people migrated from Idoma, crossed the Niger river and spread westwards, floated on the benin river and landed at ife and that the first yoruba man to arrive is Oduduwa in the 13th century. Please accept this hogwash also. 4 Likes |

They say Etches, Ikwerres and Ogba are all from Bini. Today, all three speak Igbo and have Igbo names. Why would Bini people migrate to present day Rivers state and forget both their language and names? Is Bini that far from Rivers? Someone explain to me why Bini people who migrated sonewhere chose to forget their language and names? 7 Likes |

Ikwerre and others that did that was because of the Nigeria Uncivil War that Biafra lost. Most of them have stopped denying their igbo history. 4 Likes |

Good for them. I and my house hold have decided to distance ourselves from the human race, because our ancestors came from Pandora. This is what we originally look like before inter breeding with human beings. Since we all want to mad, we can all be mad together. 3 Likes

So how did they lost; 1. Bini names? 2. Bini Language? 3. Bini Town names? 4. Bini Tradition? Why is it that almost all their ward chairmen have Igbo names? Why are they speaking Bia, iboolachi, and isalachii? Why are they town names Okehi, umueze, Igbo-etche, umuebulu, umuaturu, umuede, umuakpo, umudi, umuoye, umuoku, umu ukpo, chokocho, etc Ozuzu in Etche is where the revered Amadioha shrine is.. it's tradition and Igbos in general revere Amadioha high which all nuke and cranny knows. Etche in Imo state is same with Etche in Rivers State. Just boundary difference. This attempts to wipe out Igbos and make them unexistent and inconsequential in South South is not practically and realistically possible. Because where are you going start? Egbema in Rivers/Imo? Ukwuani? Ndokwa? Oshimili? Aniocha? Ndoni? Ogba? See no matter how politicians, and medias try to spin it, all these people subconsciously knows there are Igbos and have strong connection with the hinterlands just like me and my friend from Omuma. This stories are for kids, uneducated and unexposed people. Even the person that wrote this knows it's all lies from the pit of hell. I'm well exposed and know better now. I'm from Afara, Etche. Just so you know. 2 Likes
