Actually Irabor is a Benin name.

Irabor is a Benin name but the man in question is an Ika man. The Ikas answer a number of Benin names like Osubor, Osadolor, Osagie, Osaro etc.

My younger sister bears a Benin name.

You are correct. I have an Ika friend that bears Osadolor.

Are Edo the only tribes in Nigeria, how much do you know about the Igala of Kogi state, Igala answers Idoko, Onuche, Oguche, some Nsukka people Answer Idoko, Abugu etc which has no meaning in Igboland, so does that make Nsukka Igala town

Oga abeg Irabor is a Benin name. There is no need arguing that. All you need do is inquire from any Edo man around you

AlexBells:

You are not in any position to tell the Premier of Igbo province where Igbos are, as much as I'm concerned my province is in the East central Nigeria and not in the South East, my people are still in Hauti, Liberia, and USA so the ones in Nigeria is even a minor case

Oga I no mean say igbo no dey those parts u called

Because an Igbo was colonized by the British and not the Edos...

Come on!
You don’t have any answer.

Cantonese:


Come on!
You don’t have any answer.

Aside our local names and political considerations, the only other names we are likely to bare are English names. And that is due to colonial influence.

Lucky Irabor's Edo heritage has been kept intact over the centuries despite Agbor coming under serious Igbo influence.

There may be Igbos from Agbor but Lucky Irabor is not one of them. He is of the Edo stock...

Sure!

How Igbos are coming to claim the bearer of the name is beyond me!!

Idoko is Igala name, does it mean Nsukka people bearing it are Igalas

pazienza:


Ika was under Bini empire imperial control some while ago too.

Wrong!

Rather Agbor not Ika started out as a Yoruba/Bini town before they came under massive Igbo influence due to the location of the town - proximity to Igbo land.

Onitsha is Igala land. So Igbos/Igalas are intertwined...

Edo finally had turned to stock, where you decide who is Edo stock and who is not, just a name to you qualify someone as Edo lol, what I want to make clear is that these new Edos must share right to the throne of the Oba of Benin, I hope your Oba is a aware of your actions

The op made more sense than people who r castigating him.
Ibokette ibas the ex cns is from biase.
Ibokette is a ibibio name.
If u go to biase, biase is a local govt in cross river state, they have their own language, dont really know what they speal and which ethnic group they r whether ejagam, mbube or part of qua or efik... But in that biase, there is a community called ikot ekwere if am not mistaken. That community is strictly occupied by akwaibomites...
Will these people say they r ibibio when they r in cross river state?

NIgeria is complex jare.

We should start deemphasising tribes and relate with citizens based on their personal competence.

AlexBells:

The fact is that they are Republican Igbos and if you must accept them back to Benin they must have right to the throne at which time we might use the few Igbo DNA in them to reverse your kindom into our kind of democracy and annex your kingdom, if you trust them well enough grant them right to your throne, tell me Oba of Benin is not worried about a Wike eyeing his throne lol

Bros, there is no different between Yoruba,Edo, Itsekiri, Ekpeye, Ika or Igbo. All these ethnic groups are artificial groupings at different times in the past and some people can fall into more than one group.

What does Irabor mean in Igbo

Ịrabọ... When you lick, it becomes bigger or larger.
An ancient igbo name specific to the Ika lect

junketer:
I am igbo but I don't know what irabor means

You shouldn't know all meanings kos igboland is diverse... If you claim to know all Igbo names then what does Aṅawantị mean?

Asgard13:


Because your not igbo .. you can pronounce it well and it affect your spelling

YOU ARE NOT IGBO...

PREMIER OF IGBOLAND MY FOOT..

Which state, local government, village you come from in igboland

Everyday ndi ara na multiplie na nairaland

Igbo na agba ha ara

I Beri Be Ajoka

An igbo who can't even write in his language, is he even Igbo?

elgramz:

Those ika people that said they are not Igbos can't speak for all delta Igbos. Many delta igbo people also say they are fully igbo people. Ralph uwechue the former ohaneze ndigbo secretary general is a delta igbo, Joe achuzie is also a delta igbo and many others like them who have been fully involved in the igbo nation affairs. They are very proud of being igbo are we going to deny them their igboness because some chose to be foolish and deny their ancestry?

There is something wrong with the above statements. You are the person fully in the mode to describe Igbo man with funny adjectives. If it was not a western Igbo, it must be Midwestern Igbo or Bendel Igbo or Delta Igbo. When will you phony characters stop this madness? I had being around Joe and Ralp when they were alive and no single time did these fine gentlemen described themselves as anything but Igbo. Ralp Uwechue was Biafran ambassador to France and Joe Achuzia did not need any introduction in Biafra. I should give credit to LEO Irabor who made sure Eluonye and Onyenuchea were incorporated in his name tag. Irabor could be an abbreviated Igbo name but remains a discussion for another day.

Igbos at the boundary between Igbo land and minorities bear names of their minority neighbours, just as these minorities bear Igbo names.
The trick is intermarriage at these borders. If an Nsukka man marry an Igala woman, the woman gives his children Igala first name. By 4th generation, the Igala first name would have become a Surname for the current generation. There is also issue of migration from these minorities to their Igbo neighbors where they are assimilated as Igbo but retain their non Igbo names as surname.
In Nsukka we see families with Igala surnames like Idoko. We know of the Adukwu family in Nsukka area who migrated to Nsukka from Jukun and had since assimilated as Igbo but retained their Jukun Surname ADUKWU. In Arochukwu you see families with Ibibiod surnames like Ofong.

In Ndoki I know a politician with Ibani-Ijaw Surname in Abia state.

Ika being at the border with Edo is not different.
These influences go both ways, there are usually Igbo influence and names in non Igbo clans who border Igbo towns. I once met a non Igbo from Cross River whose village borders Ebonyi, his surname was "Igwe", I thought he was Igbo until I heard him making phone call and speaking strange language.. I asked him how come the Igbo sounding name, he flatly denied having anything to do with Igbo. He got angry the more I tried to ask him more questions so I left him.

Some times later, he needed my help in the organization, and he started playing the " I am your brother " game. He revealed that he might not be Igbo, but that his ancestor in the time past migrated from Igbo land(Ebonyi) to his current location where they had assimilated to become one with the minorities they now are.

AlexBells:
People should stop playing on the collective emotions of the Igbos, he who excludes us has more to regret, Government is turn by turn but even at that Lucky Eluonye Onyenuchea Irabor is an Ika man, an Igboid community in Delta.

There is nothing like Delta Igbo any longer, all of Igboland is one, Congratulations Irabor and the rest should stop trying to make the Igbos feel left out, our security challenge is peculiar and those who need service chiefs should have them.

This is President Buharis presidency, 2023 we are working for an Igbo president, when it is our turn nobody should complain, that's when you will understand that Igbos are majority and not just majority but majority Christian.

We never expected that Buhari will pet us anyway so, it is a welcome development but Igbos if we feel bad let us all prepare for 2023, non of the current politian will represent Igbos come 2023, we are leaving APC and PDP if they fail to give Igbos presidential ticket let's start a regional party in the East with Eastern Youths majority.

So now I hope my people understands that this is the turn of the Fulanis, let them do with power what they wish, it is only temporal let's concentrate on building a better Igboland.

Rubbish he should go and contests for governorship election in Edo State by representing Bini .
