Why not come with a similar write up about the Yorubas and their obsession with Skull mining and international fraud which your tribe is known for worldwide?

How some of you toil so hard digging up and promoting untruths and anything that ridicules another tribe except yours.

Nothingserious:
It appears every where is flooded there. I think it is a normal thing for those living around Makoko-Egun locations. The floods even harrass people while sleeping.

If the government demolishes there and push them away, it become a problem. If they are allowed to continue staying there, it may appear cheap for them as the house rents among the wooden houses are very cheap. However they will still be exposed to disease outbreaks, fire outbreaks on the wooden houses and flooding issues.

It’s just a dilemma!

If anyone is able to rise above the level, they move out to better and more expensive locations and thus escape there. But I can bet you that those people will not allow the govt to demolish the shanties as they will be rendered homeless.

There is nothing normal about making kids stand in flooded waters everyday because they want to be in school.
If the community is always flooded , then a rainboot should be a must wear for all the children.

These guys aren't playing badly now.

You expect magic?

They aren't playing badly?

What exactly are they playing?

Hold 72% possession and do nothing with it.

Lost 3 of their last five matches.

About to draw this too.

Lost to every decent or good team this season

This team is definitely not makinv top-4 at the end of this season with this lazy style of play.

This team only knows how to pass the ball around with absolutely no idea what to do with the ball at the opponent's post.

Arguero had the chance put everything at the only clear-cut chance created in this match, but him dey fear injury.

Igboid:
Inferior bronze works that were looted because your weak empire was ransacked in matter of 48hours.
Is that something to be proud of?
There are Igbo artifacts in foreign museums all over the world, the difference being that many of them were sold to colonial buyers by families who own them and not looted. So no talk of returning them.

Igbo ukwu artifacts are in New York museum too, and they are recognized by all academia as the most sophisticated artifact in the entire NIGERIA!

Bini and intelligence in same sentence is a great mismatch. I mean even right in Edo state, Igbo culture and civilization is so superior that we have Igbo speaking clans with Igbo names in your midst. Can you beat that?

You are nothing but an insignificant minority group who had your hay days when you got superior firearms from Portuguese to procure slaves for them from inland.
As soon as the firearms proliferated, the surrounding tribes pushed you shameless savages back, and ever since then, you are still living in nostalgia of your looting, invasion and pillaging days of neighboring groups for filthy Portuguese bronze coins that you use for your inferior arts.
The joke is on you.

The joke is on you.

The great Benin empire doesn't need the validation of your insignificant igbo tribe to know it is one of the greatest civilization to ever come out of Africa.

It is you that is trying so hard to prove a point that igbos had anything in its primitive history to talk about.

Even now you are limited to your 5 small states which Buhari has rightly called a dot and thats what you igbos are.

An insignificant dot.

You keep crying and crying of marginalization in present day Nigeria and thats because you igbos are cry babies.

You keep trying to grab other tribes in the Niger delta and they keep rejecting you.


Igbos simply lack selfworth hence they are trying to claim tribes in river state, delta state and everywhere.

And they keep shaming you.

Igboid:
You are a primitive Bini man.
Lol!
Igbos had organized democracy, we were never without leaders. Power was decentralized between title holders, chief priests and priestesses of important deities,women leaders, Leaders of different age groups, market leaders and then the general assembly of the people.
We were that organized and it was much better than a fat and probably intellectually challenged Oba dictating for everyone else.

The evidence of superiority of a people organization lies in their productivity.
Igbo arts (Igbo ukwu) were 1 million times better than Edo arts. Igbo blacksmiths (The Awka blacksmiths) where 1 trillion times better than Bini ones. In other words, we were and remain technologically more advanced than Binis.
What's more, Igbos evolved a traditional cloth weaving centres with Akwete in Abia State as the most famous of them all, Bini had not a single one. I bet you were all wearing plant leaves before encounter with the Portuguese who you shamelessly collected weapons from, with which you used to terrorize neighbouring groups and sold to them to the Portuguese in exchange for coins and other materials which you melted to produce your bronze works, as Bini had no traditional iron ore minning sites, like we had in Lejja in Igboland.

Igbos adapted and modified a writing style called Nsibidi before the whites came, your backward Bini had non.

Ajayi crowther never wrote any Igbo Bible, how can he do so when he couldn't speak Igbo?
Igbo missionaries of Sierra Leone origin wrote the first Igbo Bible, Ajayi crowther was the head of the church delegation to Nigeria so naturally supervised the work. Quit being retarded.
Google about Simon Jonas! He was an Igbo slave of Sierra Leone origin who did most of the work in Igbo Bible production.

Bini empire conquered nada! How can you claim to conquer when even in your Edo State, the superiority of Igbo civilization reigns supreme as groups like Igbanke, Owariuzo, etc, all speak an Igboid language?
Look around you how many so called Bini decendants who dumped Bini language for a superior Igbo language and culture.

Is there any better prove of cultural superiority than language imposition? I mean the sign of British dominance is seen in English language universality in today World, the Portuguese dominance of the word can be seen in Brazil, Angola and Mozambique.
Spanish dominance can be seen in South America and Equitorial Guinea.

Igbo superiority can be seen right in Edo state!
You were bunch of Savages who couldn't evolve civilization until the Portuguese gave you weapons with which you shamelessly used to terrorize your fellow black neighbors.

When the British came for you, you fell in a matter of days and the stench of your citiy where you used fellow blacks for human sacrifice was exposed.

It seems only your small igboid brain is able to know and remember this civilization of the igbos!

Ask yourself why the might, ingenuity, intelligence of the great Benin emoure keeps making the news more than a hundred years after the british colonialists formed Nigeria.

Why is there no news of your igboness coming from around the world like the Benin Kingdom ?

You guys were not significant!

Look at the Benin bronzes all over the world! Everyone admits they came from a place of great civilization.


Igbos didn't have anything worthwhile so nobody cares of whatever you did or know.

Igboid:
Zik was playing politics with you Edoids.
It's impossible for a Bini person to be named Eze Chima in 1770s, use your brain.
Moreover even in Edo state, we still have Igboid speakers till today.
The Obi of Onitsha who is the custodian of Onitsha culture had since come out to proclaim that Onitsha were ancient Igbos who were on reverse migration from Ife, had a brief stop at Bini before returning to Igboland.
Bini is too small to influence Ndiigbo.
There is nothing sophisticated about a bunch of people bowing down to a fat Oba who they are probably more intelligent than.
Ndiigbo are too wise for such tomfoolery. We evolved s much more superior Democracy where everyone opinion matters and is weighed upon in community square before a decision that affects everyone was taken.

If you think you are superior because your ancestors allowed a fat man dictate for them, then the joke is on you.
Bini never evolved a superior civilization than Ndiigbo. Igbo-ukwu arts are much more superior to whatever Bini had to offer.
Awka blacksmiths were much more advanced than Binis ever had. Bini land hard no pre colonial cloth making centres, Ndiigbo had many with Akwete being the most famous.
When faced with a superior civilization like the British, the Igbos put up much more robust and sophisticated military resistance as shown in Anglo-Aro war, than the weak Binis who lived on hype but was ransacked by the British in a matter of 48hrs.

All these things you put up there coming from your potopoto brain.

Igbos had no civilization.

You were all in the bush when the whiteman came .
No form of intelligence, no organization. Just look back at history. Wherever you find greatness, you find organized leadership.

From Ancient Egypt to Ghana, India, Chinese, Germany, British, Portuguese, Spanish, Romans etc

They all had leaders that dictate how the people live their lives.

Igbos didn't have because you were unintelligent and primitive.

It was a yoruba man Ajayi Crowther that translated the English bible to Igbo so your ancestors can have some form of intelligence.

When the white came, they met a civilized Benin empire that was compared to what is obtainable in the Western world as at that time.
If not for colonialism, you will be roaming in the bush by now.

ariesbull:
Sense you no get ....one of the oldest civilisation is Lejja and Nri they are igbo ....igbo blacksmith went from Awka ti benin to teach them smithworks


The present governor of Edo has igbo ancestry....his fore fathers was adviser to then oba

Also Eze Chima was a great igbo man that influenced benin


Make una dey read .. benin to small to influence almighty igbo

Mumu!

How do those rubbish you put up there serve as evidence that igbos influenced Edos?

One of the greatest igboman ever known Nnamdi Azikwe wrote his biography and traced his ancestry to the benin kingdom.

If not for the white men that came to teach igbos how to organize and govern themselves, you guys weren't different from gorillas and chimpanzees roaming the bush.

A tribe without organization isnt capable of influencing another tribe.

Should i give you an example of Benin influence on igbos?
Do you know Obi of Onitsha?

His ancestors are from the Great Benin Kingdom . His royal apparel and his staff are from Benin kingdom.

Pls do not bring Igboid/Edoid sub groups in Delta state into this.

Those tribes have rejected your land grabbing antics openly on several occasions.
They are not igbo. Your five landlocked states is what you should brag with.

Edo state as a whole is about 3 of those your southeastern states combined.

The obvious answer is investing.

You dont get rich by saving your money. And if you save in a currency like the naira, your money loses value.

And ofcourse you have to invest wisely

ariesbull:
benin had a lot of influence from igbo

Oka is corn in benin and igbo
Ugbo is farm in benin and igbo
Okhuko is hen in benin and igbo


And tons of other words

And your brain decided it was igbo that influenced benin?

Looking back at history of igbos and Edos , which tribe was more likely to influence the other one?

This write up reeks of delusion and obviously coming from a brain with compound damage.

martineverest:
but the artefact was in Benin palace for hundreds of years b4 British soldiers stole it....what's your point?

Dont mind some of the ignoramus on this thread.

If the artefacts were in the palace for hundreds of years and were safe before the colonial looting, i wonder what has changed that it wont be safe now

onumadu:
Just wondering ... what is the meaning of "Akuko" in Yoruba? In Igbo it means "story".

For the topic, if this chicken sculpture tagged "Ọkhọkhọ"does not show that Edo is Igbo, I wonder what else is left.

Just because of okhokho you think Edo is igbo

What if you compare the Igbo and Edo languages and see the very many similarities, what will you conclude?

Every good student of history and culture understands its not out of the ordinary for tribes living close to share similar words even if they speak different languages.

powerkey:
I doubt if that thing was from Benin.

Benis don't call okuko.

So you are doubting its from Benin because you saw okuko?

Couldn't your intelligent brain have told you the journalist made a mistake in the name?
