Actionable and intelligent minister, he's getting it right and gradually setting the pace.

cyberstarr:
Either you misunderstood what the Obi of Onitsha was explaining or you distorted his explanation in order to suit your own idea or agenda. Mind you that he was speaking in Igbo language, so his message could be easily misinterpreted by anyone who didn't understand the language.

For the avoidance of doubt, Obi of Onitsha mentioned that those Onitsha people that sojourned from Benin and Ife were Igbo people that were already resident in those places. He then wondered whether they (those Igbos resident in Benin and Ife) migrated or were just natural inhabitants of the places they were residing before making the long journey to Onitsha. The Obi speaks my dialect and I understood him clearly.

They migrated from Ife to Benin, then settled in Onitsha, that's the major point. Onitsha is called Onitsha Ado n' Idu. You can only name a place after your ancestry.

Abagworo:
Obi didn't say Onitsha is related to Benin. He only said Igbos while migrating from Ife to the East stopped over at Benin before continuing the journey. He also clearly state that it was Ado and Iduu not Ife and Benin cause they're different Igbos passed before the founding of Benin when that area was called Idu.

Ife was called Ado. If ibos migrated from Ife to Benin, where were they migrating from when they got to ife?

Shattuck:
he said they are from bini the ife people too are also from bini so technically both the ife and Onitsha people are both from the bini kingdom

He said they migrated from Ife(Ado) to Benin(Idu). Stop twisting his words.

Radicalhost:
To simplify all what the Obi said, Igbo people where migrating and they stopped across several towns like Ife and Benin to rest of which some people stayed back in those towns and others continued their journey to their present place after the River Nile.

No need for long stories.

Where were they migrating from when they got to ife?. And why is it called Onitsha Ado n' Idu?

BadBradley:
it's 2024 and you can't remain a history illiterate forever.

The king said Igbos migrated through Yoruba land to the East and some are still their im Ijebu Igbo till today. And that Ijebu Igbo is an Igbo town where they founded and later left to the East.

Why is it called Onitsha Ado n' Idu?

informatica:
The transcript / translation of what the Obi of Onitsha said is wrong. It is either mischievous or comes from a place of ignorance of Igbo language or lack of proficiency in same. He stated that some Igbo people migrated from Eri in Eastern Nigeria to Ado (present day Ife). Some of them migrated back to Igboland. He stated that the people of Ijebu-Igbo are Igbo people who did not return to their homeland. During the reverse migration, Igbo people founded settlements in Benin and Delta State and some of them stayed there and some of them returned to Onitsha.

The Obi of Onitsha emphasized that the peoples of southern Nigeria are related. He called for unity among the people.

Why is it called Onitsha Ado n' Idu?

gidgiddy:
And throughout his talk, he always called Onitsha people Igbos who were in Ife. He never refereed to them as any other tribe than Igbo. Nobody in Onitsha referred to Igbos as nwa onye Igbo, I don't know where you guys got that one from. And no Onitsha indigene has ever referred to themselves as any other thing than Igbo

That Igbos pased through Ife and Bini on their way back to the East neither makes them Ife nor Bini

Ibos passed through ife and benin, coming from where? and why is it called Onitsha Ado n Idu, and not Onitsha igbo/Eri?

Stop celebrating madness and behaving like subhumans. Moroever, this was not done by Otti.

Facts don't lie, NEXT UK was shut down by UK authorities due to fraud. Pastor Reno keeps punching the teeths of Bitter Obi and his Bitter Obidients.

Reality will teach you a lesson, you think life is all about coming online to beat your chests. Online is different from real life.

LegendHero:
You are right. Those iron condemn guys are the main culprit in most cases.

However lastly, we have seen people like the guy up there in the business of vandalizing government properties especially in Lagos.

Government needs to nip this menace now before it turns to another big problem.

Can you see how slippery she is, she wouldn't condemn the culprit that was caught for obvious reasons but had to indulge in needless whataboutism. How old was she in 1960?.

Atikulooters and Obituaries can cry all they want, Lagos-Calabar is a done deal.

Pastor Reno keep punching the teeths of Bitter Obi and his Bitter Obidients.

ufotunang:
....fake news

Bitter Obidient on denial mode.

Gadafii:
my brother stop explaining nonsense and drink your dose of bitter OBi before BATeria take over you completely

Give it to your family, i am not a child of hate and bitterness.

This is free Education, Reno gave good points and the fact is that 16 electronic transactions are exempted. The uproar is clearly unneccessary.

Pastor Reno, the tormentor of Bitter Obi.

Metordman:
staphylococcus bacteria infected Hypothalamus cited. U need bitter obi(700cl)

Give it to your family members. Children of hate and bitterness.

CheapHomes1:
one shot a day is all you need. it will help to reset your brain to factory settings

You can't infect me with bitterness, children of hate and bitterness.

SeeWahala:
Did they remember to sterilise the plane and fumigate the airport from BATeria as tilumbu landed and crossed?

Let our CDC not mess up oh, we can't survive another lockdown again. No more palliative as everything Is already being channeled to produce bitter obi as a cure for tilumbu disease

If you went to school, you would know that the Bitter is an adjective that qualifies Obi, it means Obi is a bitter man. It is different from Obi Bitters which headless mob are trying too hard to clutch unto. The name "Bitter Obi" pain y'all like mad.

Welcome back Jagaban, Bitter Obidients have missed you.

What's the amount of net profits they repartriated back to their country?

SeeWahala:
Aren't you even the least bit ashamed of being a lifelong carrier and spreader of the deadly and dreaded BATucollosis infection?

Guy, it's not by force to join the children of hate and bitterness nau, enjoy your bitterness and wailing in peace.

BadBradley:
What has school fees increment got to do with a ridiculous tas as cyber security levy charged on all Nigerians whenever they do electronic transactions?

I know you're a bastardd and as wretched as homeless idiot..,..just remember your family is suffering whenever you're defending your coursed life

Your parents at home are the bastards and idiots. The levy is not on every electronic transactions, it is exempted from 16 transactions but gutter illiterate wouldn't read to save their lives but to only wail. The Agulu bitter fraud increased tuition fee to deny poor kids going to school but it's fine by you as far as he's given you beer to drink your lives to stupor.

kennyz247:
