This info from ati.gba can only be gotten from him himself...

Can it be verified ? No.
Is it folktales? Yes

I'm just amazed at how he confidently believes his lies

OfoIgbo:
Igodomigodo was an ancient kingdom, currently succeeded by Benin.

It had Nris, Ikas, Edo's e.t.c in it

It was really set up by the Nris and the original royal household was from NRI, the Ogisos. The ancient NRI kings crowned the Ogisos, and this practice carried on to the Oba era.

I believe Oranmiyan's descendants are most probably of the Ogiso lineage otherwise the Eze Nris would not have been crowning the oba, as that would have been supporting usurpation.

Afa would have revealed the tainted bloodline. For the Nris to be crowning Benin Obas up untill relatively recently, means that the Obas are originally of the Nri-Ogiso bloodline

Eri who founded Nri Kingdom and the so called progenator of Igbo race is our son. Idu son in Igodomigodo. A son cannot give birth to his father, and you dont crown kings in Igodomigodo.

Ogiso is sky king.

Orominyan is a Yoruba man not Ogiso bloodline

Nwokem, history is not about making empty claims. It is so easy to make a totally false claim that Eri came from Igodomigodo.

What proper historians do, is to check that statement against available facts.

The core facts that exist at the moment is that Igodomigodo used 4 NRI market days dedicated to NRI deities. This alone proves who influenced who and possibly, who came from where.

NRI people will not install you as a king without those market day deities, and the king-elect honouring these deities.

Portuguese have already made it clear some of the activities of the kingdom TO THE EAST OF BENIN towards Benin.

Ignore the Yoruba revisionists that claim that Ife is EAST OF BENIN.
Ife is EAST OF DAHOMEY. Definitely not EAST OF BENIN.

Do you know the meaning of IGODOMIGODO?

No, Yoluba is part of Edo

There was no one in South East as far back 11 century.

Our son Eri founded Nri kingdom and latter some of our children fled and founded other Igbo communities.

You see what I'm talking about. You keep making unsubstantiated claims.
You wrote that no one was in the SE as far back as the 11th century, meanwhile Igbo-Ukwu archaeological bronze-work findings were dated to about the 9th century. And by the way, the Igbo-Ukwu findings have already been ascribed to the Nri people.

The Nri people established Oraeri who are the real owners of the Igbo-ukwu findings, and recognized as an offshoot of the Nri hegemony.

Now get it again from me, that Nri people established Oraeri and Igodomigodo, and vestiges of Nri civilisation remain in Benin till today, most especially the 4 market days.

Igodomigodo is an Nri establishment. This fact can so easily be proven. Once again, Nri-Igbos have been around for way longer than you can imagine

You guys are no longer Jews?

Zooposki:

Do I sound like an Aguleri man to you

Even if we are Hebrews, Nri people hardly dwell on that. We concentrate on Igbo culture and tradition, and admit that we share some cultural similarities with the Jews, but that is as far an an Nri man will go.

It is usually the Aguleris that start twisting facts, and start dwelling on the whole Jewish tale as though we Igbos need that to be important. It is obviusly a storyline, some elements in the IPOB leadership have bought hook line and sinker.

Atigba:
It is a political blunder for a Yoruba politician to try to meddle in our internal politics.

The branding of Nigeria today by Yoruba politicians should be on the same pretext like Awolowo and the Fulani North…. Learn to solidify your base… win the trust of your people and then use it as a launching pad to negotiate at the center….. If you think you will not reconcile with your people and still hope to have a platform to stand up to outsiders….. you will make yourself vulnerable to the enemy….. I desperately wish for Yoruba agitators and politicians to unite for a common cause… just like in the days of Awolowo…. He was feared by outsiders because they realized his’s people’s love for him cannot be shaken…. If you rig Awolwo’s party out of power in Yorubaland…. He did not need to mobilize.... the people will stand up for him naturally….. this earned him so much respect that if democracy lasted long enough…. He would have emerged president like Buhari did after many failed attempts.

The greatest mistake Bola Tinubu is doing is reaching out to others while many of his kinsmen at home are biased about him…. Whoever advised him to put in his 10 cents in Edo politics made a big blunder…. Edo people… like Igbos…. hold a big resentment towards Yoruba people…. they have an elephant size complex which has forced them to twist history up and down and make so many colorful stories over the ages to resist such complex…. Benin people… like factions of Kwara and Ijebu hold elements of rebellious people of Yoruba ancestry…. Why… because they feel dwarfed by a bigger history of their benevolence to the parent body at Ile Ife and Oyo.

In the second republic…. It was the Oba Akenzua II that worked with the politicians in the Midwest to ensure the creation of the Midwest because he was desperate to break away from Yoruba people…. his son was the fraudulent author who made the fabricated stories of how elders roamed forests for over 40 years looking for a fugitive Igodomigodo prince…. In a reckless attempt to infuse his bloodline into the Ogiso dynasty and disrespect the true natives of Igodomigodo whose lands were invaded by Oranmiyan… in his book he even mentioned how Oduduwa tested the elders to be sure they are repentant and gave the elders 7 lice and told them to bring if back after 3 years… and how one of the senior chiefs put it in the hair of one of his slaves to preserve it for three years (he must have read the story of Joseph and infused his version)…. Now this is where it bugs a question…. Lice have only a lifespan of 30 days…. Within that 30 days… they would have laid tons of eggs and multiply rapidly…. To say 7 lice were put on a slaves head and same 7 lice were alive 3 years after without multiplying is totally false narrations ( and to think the Oba that wrote the story was learned…. He must have studied biology when he was at Government college Ibadan)…. These are the negative energies going on between Edo and larger Yoruba today… the true natives of Igodomigo also do not like Yoruba people because they blame them for the invasion of their land by Oranmiyan…. How then do Yoruba politicians think these people would have any kind of regards for them…. If they played politics like Awolowo…. They will concentrate on home and then build coaltions rather than engage in direct politics.

Do you know who Obaseki is he comes from a well known migrant nobility that will do anything for power in Benin.… they know how to profit from tension…. You can never outsmart them in such game… his greatgrandfather was the very man that helped the British run down Benin kingdom…. He helped them put the king away into exile in calabar… hoping to take the power of the throne for himself…. He succeeded at this but was rejected by Benin people who remained loyal to the throne until the bloodline of Oranmiyan was restored to the throne.


Copied from Gbonka Ebiri.

Very true.

Not only Edos anyway.

Yoruba politicians should try as much as possible to steer clear of other people internal politics. It does not matter if you are supporting right or wrong. Even the way our young men comment over other peoples' matter is annoying. What you'd get will be resentment.

I like your question, I wonder how some people think a tiny edo(Esan plus bini) can give birth to entire nothern igboland (about 300 communities) who directly or indirectly relates to nri and Eri.
Speaking of an ant giving birth to elephant.
Just the name "igodomigodo" suggests it was an Igbo domain and the fact that her contemporary citizens still use our four market days plus the fact that when war or conflict arises there, her citizens run to their home (igboland) for example eze chima crew confirms that it was a full Igbo domain.
Thank you Mr Atigba for solving this.
Now the next move should be how to liberate our people still under the rule of the yoruba Oba from Ife

Did I wrote 11 century, Eri our son founded Nri kingdom in 9 century AD.. sorry.

All Igbo communities were set up by our Idu children from Igodomigodo. They didnt migrate the same time.

80 percent of Igbo are our Idu children from Igodomigodo.

They all migrated from Igodomigodo, and met ibibio, Efik and some Igalas there. For instance, Onitcha Ado na Idu

Then how come Igodomigodo was making use of NRI:owned market days? Stop making frivolous claims. It cannot stand any academic test.

Tell us how Igodomigodo came to be using NRI market days.

Secondly now that I caught you in the 11th century scam, you have changed to 9th century. Show us Igodomigodo archaeological evidence that proves Igodomigodo is older than NRI first. This is not the time for making wild statements. NRI kings crowned both the Igodomigodo and Benin rulers. Provable facts!!!

Neither EZE nor CHIMA is an Edo word. They are both clearly Igbo words.

So this still proves my point. Igbo was a major language throughout Edo land and Yoruba land many centuries ago.

The Eze Nris crowned the Obis of Onitsha, up until the 1960s. It was never done by the Obas of Benin.

The about 66 Igbo kings that existed before the advent of the white man were all crowned by Eze Nris, and were ALL of NRI ancestry.

NRI people only crowned kings of NRI or Eri (e.g Igala) ancestry. The priority was obviously given to kings of NRI ancestry as they are descendants of Eri's firstborn and royal cum priestly lineage.

That is why I know Obas of Benin and Ogisos of Igodomigodo have/had NRI blood, otherwise Eze Nris wouldn't have been crowning them

No Eze crown king in Igodomigodo, it is Oniha that crown our king.

Eze Chima is from Igodomigodo, yes we speak Igbo in Igodomigodo the reason we birth Igbo.

Igbo is spoken in Igodomigodo till date.

Arochukwu, Ohafia, Oguta, Oru, Ututu, Abam etc are all Idu children from Igodomigodo.

These odudufraud land grabbing cone heads should leave with their 4 brown roof slum enclaves:

Ekiti.
Ogun.
Osun.
Oyo.



They should leave quickly. The skull miners sh!t slinging children of fallen angels should not grab any other person's land. We have warned you. Unless you guys want fagba treatment or ilesha treatment.
