Igbo next is Hausa and last is Yoruba

damdam995:
Yoruba dey inside Bible now. Even one of king David wife (Queen sheebah) was bury in ijebu, ogun state.

michlins:
I think it's Yoruba people. The hausas are basically migrants into the present day Nigeria and some part of Igbo like Onitsha and Nnewi are extension of Benin kingdom who are to be considered Yoruba too. Nsukka people are from Igala

LordFarquaad:
Are u frm nnewi, onitsha, or nsukka ?

michlins:
I'm from Nsukka born in Nnewi and conducts business in Onitsha

LordFarquaad:
Fantastic, just fantastic. Frm what i know people who refer to themselves as nsukka cover seven LGA in enugu. That's roughly over half of the state LGA. It jus' kinda weird to group so many ndigbos as igala, prolly as a result of meagre traces of igala names such as idoko and asogwa, which may nt even be up to 2% of it's actual population.

michlins:
like I told you earlier, I'm from Nsukka and I know a bit of my history. Nsukka people migrated from Igala. This is simply a fact.

Please stop this ignorance.

No scientific, genetic or anthropological or philological evidence that Benin are closer to Yoruba. The absence of a major natural barrier comparable to River Niger on the West side made human and cultural flow inwards and outwards on the west side of Edo way easier than on the East side.

Recent studes show some similarities in Yoruba & some Easn people BUT not in Benin people. A Yoruba person put the link on this culture section sometime ago.
While people like me have a proudly dual Benin & Yoruba heritage, Benin people people generally are not inherently closer to Yoruba than they are to Igbo. Peoplemust remember that Benin City still has a higher population of Igboid/Anioma people than Yoruba. Statewide, Yoruboid Ado-Akure people in Edo still won't seriously outnumber Igboid people.

Benin, Igbo, Yoruba and many tribes along the Southern side of West Africa including Ewe, Gbagyi, Nupe & Fon people belong to this East Kwa/Volta-Niger/West Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo group linguistically.

People actually spend careers of 35 to 50 years studying these things. Travelling, studying and researching both historical and contemporary realities. Not seat somewhere and spew ignorantly parroted assumptions.

I have met so called educated Igbo calling Edo people Yoruba. I have also met Yoruba who would claim over education and sophistication saying anyone after Ore is Igbo. Some are over 60 years old even in diaspora.

Your forefathers from nsukka are Igalas and Benins and not Nnewi or Onitsha by any means. Reverse migration is not history.


Even someone from nsukka who has no origin will come here to tell igbos where they are from.


Remain with that your history in nsukka and Enugu state precisely.


Such hogwash is not needed in anambra state.

ezemewi who founded current Nnewi town came from Benin kingdom. Go to Igwe orizu palace and study history of Nnewi. Hé ezemewi married Edo daughter of Idemili. These things are simple facts that are obtainable. You were born Igbo today doesn't work mean your ancestors might not have come from elsewhere.
