If u can prove it why don't u?
stop begging me to believe ur lies

Balogunodua:
Why don't you show me the pavement in you imaginary Nri kingdom since every kingdom has it and i dare u to show a well backed research that claims Nri is older than Ife not some wiki trash.

If you don't like wiki, just type oldest ethnic group or tribe in Nigeria then read up, all the search results are about NRI

You still haven't prove your claim and stop beating around the bush na you said Nri is more artistic than Ife is this a joke? Ife Olokun head still remains the most realistics bronze head that came out of Africa The Igbo Ukwu art you are talking about can't stand Ife art anyday anytime the Ife arts are been compared to lost Atlantis civilization around not some unknown Igbo Ukwu art bring the academic research that claims Nri predates Ife not wiki kingdom.

I'd given you a thorough lecture on ancient Igbo history but seeing what you wrote here, you are clearly a joke......IGBO people remains the most ancient in this parts, your ooni of ife was towing that direction but his fellow traditional rulers criticized him cos he was giving away their lie,.....The present Ile ife was Inhabited by ancient IGBO clan

Still wiki without academic backing we have gone beyond wiki where any Tom and Dick can edit, only the Igbo Ukwu ironart work predates that of Ife or Benin not the kingdom itself, if we are to go by any artwork the Nok culture are the oldest dating back to 200BCE and if we are to go by fossil then Iwo Erelu fossil found in Ondo is the oldest in west Africa which is 13,000 years old.

OfoIgbo:
Nri people held sway in Igodomigodo. Historical books allude to that. Nri people were also the cultural/religious guardians of Benin empire.
Nri kingdom started perhaps up to a thousand years before the 9th century AD being ascribed to Nri's origin. That date only truly denotes the dating of the Igbo-Ukwu excavations which were attributed to the Nris, through Oraeri, an Nri offshoot. But it has been erroneously passed on, as the period that Nri civilisation started.

Benin people still use the 4 market days instituted by the Nris. They cannot deny that fact, as it is one of the very few cultural elements of Nri, that survives till present day.

You and this hype on Nri! When did Nri institute the four market days? How can you institute a culture that is older than you? Nri may be older than Benin and Ife, but when it comes to Igboland, it's younger compared to groups like Awka, Isu, Okigwe, Nsukka etc. If not thousands of years younger.

Igbo culture existed since the BC, and reached its height exactly the period Nri soujorned into the heartland. Nri and other Eri offshoot were middlebeltern Igbos pushed out from present Kogi by the Akpotu groups.

Again, Oraeri never founded Igbo Ukwu artifacts. They actually displaced the original occupants of that land. In addition, Pre-historic Igboland would have began from present Ondo curving into the plains of Igalaland to the Kaduna valley and running down to where the Oru (coastal Igbo) domiciled. However, the rise of Igodomingodo may have pushed the Igbos to move east as well as the coming of the Akpotu(Igala) groups who pushed the Eri groups to cross the Niger into the heartland.

Yes. If truth had not become legend, we would have been termed Israelis in diaspora. But since Umuahia can not be Israel, we won't because of that deny our origin.

Mr there is nothing like igodomigodo.
that thing is a moonlight story false as that of tortoise and it's intelligence.

Atigba:

When a legend is rejected by it character, you know it is falsehood.
So your people in igodomigodo were in that village seeing were their fearful runaway brothers went to while hiding from the attackers. So wonderful of you guys.

This is interesting. I didn't study history in school so am very much interested in this. Biko my people, I attended a burial in Oguta 2, they tied one piece of plain George material on their waist, when I enquired, someone said, it's because theu migrated from Edo, I don't believe it though, so someone should clarify me.
Secondly, what's the difference between oru and Igbo?

Oguta people are from the ancient Igodomigodo know today as Edo State.

Oru people are also from Igodomigodo, the difference between them and Oguta is that the migration happened in different period.

I don't know where the name Igbo stem from, Igbo is a conglomerate of different ethnic nationalities.

You don't seem to understand.
Igbos are by far, more ancient than Igodomigodo.

Igbo language was for many centuries, the language of the Igodomigodo and Benin royal courts.
How do you think they were communicating with their NRI cultural overlords?

Nri was founded by one of the son of Igodo in 9 century A.D.

We gave birth to Igbo people
