Starting with ur 2nd question.



The oracle of Onitsha are many, not only one


One of the popular one is Alusi Ojedi @ Umudei Village


Another one is Alusi Urai at my village ( Umuikem ) which my grandfather was the chief priest....


Their is another one at Ose market which we call Ani Onicha


Answer to ur first question: Obi of Onitsha is from Ogbe Ndida Village

Same here. They are already losing everything as we speak. Thanks to their Bini history. They are currently losing the GRA case to Nkwelle and Obosi is eyeing four quarters there. Notably Fegge.

Zik did not have foresight when he proposed that funny history as the most educated person they have that time. They forgot that any form of weakness in Igboland will cost you your land.
This quote is what they use to haunt them "onye ọbịa amarọ okere ani"

Sometimes I pity them
it's really a pity. Patiently waiting for any ihiala person that will come and tell me that we are from anything near Benin not to talk of Benin itself. Igbos are the oldest people in Nigeria and we once presided over Benin land. Ndigbo Mara nu ife

All those things are a form of modern warfare.
I've read about it from one Arabian scholar like that. The best way to conquer mentally weak people is to distort their history and watch them come to you.

It worked in Arabia where many ethnic groups were wiped out by just changing their history and linking all of them to Ismael.

They are currently doing the same on Tuaregs and Berbers on North Africa although they are now fighting back with "Amazigh Movement" to announce their presence. In fact Arabs are minority in North Africa while Berber are majority. 80 percent of Morocco is Berber but you won't know because they have been Arabicized. Something Bini is doing in modern day on ignorant Onitsha, Agbor, Ikwerre and all those confused people of Delta state

BENARI:
Someone created a thread sometime ago asking if the name Onitsha is an Igbo word.
Well here's the answer to that question;
The Original name of the town is Aniocha and not Onitsha, and yes, you guessed it, Aniocha extend beyond to the other side of the niger river way into delta state. But then you must be wondering; how did the name survive in the Igbo speaking part of Delta State but changed to Onitsha on the other side?

The simple reason is the white man's arrival at the river port. When the white landed at the port of Aniocha(Onitsha) and began his trade with the people there, the best pronunciation he could come up with was something like a-ni-cha because of his accent, and as you know, the man who truely gives the name by which history will remember a person or place is the man who pens the name on paper. By the time the local people could learn to read and write, the name Aniocha had now been written as Onitsha by the white man for some long years. This error is not peculiar to Aniocha(Onitsha) alone, no, it is a very common error that permeates different geographical locations, cultures, etc in particularly Africa and some parts of Latin America. Reason being, we did not have a literate culture of our own which is why we do not have a record of our history before the white came. Some of this errors have been traced and corrected but most remain, perhaps lost in the sands of time.

Onycha was one of the components of the consecrated incense which appears in the book of Exodus (Ex.30:34-36) and was used in the Jerusalem's Solomon's Temple.

Which land has Onitsha ever loose to Obosi or Nkwelle?


Oga u just hate Onitsha maybe because of our Ancestral/history belief....... One thing is no matter as you hate Onitsha it won't stop our progress.

Onitsha never and won't ever loose any land to obosi or nkwelle.... They no reach to fight Onitsha
Mr man which progress are you even talking about? Don't make me say what both of us will regret later.
Mind you I don't hate anybody, I have my own clan to worry about.

By the way, there is nothing like ancestral belief. Like it or not, Bini has played the Arabicism style on you people with the help of Zik and you fell for it like dry leaves. Anyways what do we expect from ndị otu.
You people have been conquered and mentally subjugated by Bini. Dimkpa Bin

you see that Ojedi/Tasia road, that's where Armed Robbers shot my guy on his leg, around 12:00 a.m, when he was returning from Mackys dream, when it was situated at Ozalla road by All saints cathedral's second gate, in the year 2007.
That Ojedi shrine is very powerful and dangerous.
After recovering from the gun wound, he went back to arusi Ojedi and tell it his ordeal with the Armed Robbers as he was directed.

The Ikwere-Benin attachment is the most ridiculous of all. Benin came to Ikwerre land at the time when the empire was collapsing like a pack of card. after depopulating the west, Benin looked east but before they could enter the eastern heartland the Portuguese left bight of Benin and moved to Bight of Biafra. After this movement by Portuguese, Benin lost its monopoly of guns as Arochukwu acquired the new weapons and chased Benin out

Nice analysis,
However, you will hit a brick wall if I tell you to explain if it's the whites that gave these equally ancient towns their names.

Onicha Enugu
Onicha olona
Onicha ebonyi
Onicha ugbo

I think Onicha was the right spelling and pronunciation of the town Onitsha before the whites came and spelt what they liked. There was Aniocha also in Anambra and another in Igbo Delta, so that doesn't count.

I agree with you completely.

You know, Nigerians think that wars are only fought with guns while staring at intellectual war going on at the moment. Bini tried this stunt on Ife in a bid to use the link to claim the whole yoruba race but the Ooni thwarted it because he is intelligent. Even King Henry VIII abolished Catholicism because his people are leaning to the Romans, learning their language and started behaving like them. He understands that if such is left to happen what happened is happening in middle East at that time will befall his people so he established Anglican communion.

This type of warfare is actually the most deadly. It is worse than biological weapon because it guarantees instant eradication unlike that of firearm. Any ethnicity that falls to this like those in Mauritania now, Berbers and so on will lose their identity and be absorbed by the other without firing a single shot. Even their MNK and the Obi is ignorant of this.

I learnt this from an Arab Quadi
