Etinosa1234:
Abeg..this guy is confused
Someone that claims idu was a language but cannot prove it

Lolzzzzzz

Atigba:
Idu people are indegenous citizens of Igodomigodo, they are not immigrant.

Binis migrated to Igodomigodo through Prince Orominyan of Ife in 12 century A.D.

Some people in the east migrated from Igodomigodo, did you see me refered to them as Igbo? No.

Oru people, Oguta people, Onitcha Ado na Idu, Eze Enugu, Arochukwu, Ohofia, Abam, Ututu, etc.

They are our children, though they are presently living in the south east and are addressed as Igbo.

Lolzzzzzzzz

Nwanyiogwashi:

Bantu originated from idu. All bantu tribes come from Oba Amukwu of igodomigodo.
Bantu know your history

It has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that chaka Zulu traced his origin to the great bini empire of 800 thousand people. In fact Oba ovoramwen of igodomigodo taught chaka osagie osenobua of Zulu how to use spear. Check our whats app site and see Zulu people coming back to their ancestral land

You are Benin/ille ibinu, you are not a citizen of Igodomigodo.

Igbo is a conglomerate of Idu children Igodomigodo, Igalas, Efik and ibibio, Nri etc

MelesZenawi:

He is lying

Orhionmwon is made up Igbanke, Ikas, Idu aborigines.

He is probably from Oredo, Egor Or Ovia

Atigba:
That is not true.

Igbo didnt predate Igodomigodo, the oldest Igbo kingdom is Nri which was established in 9 century AD.

People have been living in Igodomigodo since 40BC

You're still talking 40BC. Nri Kingdom precedes anything in Igodomigodo but Nri kingdom came much much later in Igbo history. Findings from Igbo excavation sites have revealed works from a millenium before. Igodomigodo, Ife were much later immigrations. If we scrutinize Igodomigodo we would find heavy influence from the much older Igbo group. Influences you won't like to see.

thought as much.

You are not a Benin man

You are an Idu man, a citizen of Igodomigodo

How did Nri predate Ife

By many many many many centuries. Archaeological excavations have revealed this.

Nri kingdom was founded in 9century by a guy you have no idea about where he migrated from.

Stop telling me about Nri Kingdom. Nri kingdom is not the origin of Igbo people. Igbo people have been discovered to have been around centuries before Nri Kingdom. Nri Kingdom was just the height of our very very early civilization. You get?

Stop taking toomuch apku it not good for your health

The only thing that predates that of Ife were the bronze found at Igbo Ukwu site and research still doubt it, Ife existed long before the birth Jesus Christ, infact the pave road in Ife dated back to 800AD and you Nri kingdom was founded in 900AD Oga Nri never predates Ife.

You have said it yourself na. Igbo Ukwu predates anything across West Africa so far. So what is your argument again? Is it because I said Nri? No vex. It's all the same, Nri <=> Igbo Ukwu.

But you guys started referring to Nri kingdom here as the bedrock of Igbo civilisation.

The author never mentioned Nri in the article

Atigba:
Bantu people are not from Igodomigodo

They are no longer from igodomigodo? But chaka osagie osenobua of Zulu affirmed that they ancestrally from igodomigodo. Do you think someone of his status as the greatest king of Zulu will lie like that?
Incase you don't know, berbers have traced their origin to igodomigodo. Their king Mohammed is even considering to take the oba title, he is expected to come and prostate to oba of benin in the next few months

Why are you crying, I didnt author that article, an Igbo man did.

Before the end of this year he will be addressed as Oba Mohammed iku akpolopkolo of Morocco

Wrong again

Igbo Ukwu did not predates everything in West Africa, the only thing it predates was iron smelting, the Nok culture is the oldest civilization in West Africa dating back to 200BCE.

It was a height of Igbo civilization not the origin.

If Igbo Ukwu predates iron smelting then automatically Igbo Ukwu predates Nok culture because Nok used iron smelting. Igbo Ukwu falls into the Bronze Age which precedes the Iron Age, but I know you never knew that .
