Read the interview below where Bianca Ojukwu's brother traced their family history to Benin and tell me if Ngwo people share boundary and bear Benin names.

I know some ethnic group in the Volta region of Ghana that also trace their history to Benin after initially settling in Dahomey. Tell your story and let others tell theirs. You can't force yourself on people that know their history.

lol...so the onohs of Enugu are now also of Bini ancestry.
Keep shooting yourselves

Now that you have said this rubbish, can you now answer my initial question.
What in ikwere culture links them with Bini? What part of their culture is Bini

Biggie225:
At the end sowore sold out Yoruba nation in exchange for bags of dollars and kept quiet since just like Tinubu and osinbajo.

that's what the Afonjas want nnamdi kanu to do...God punish demons

IkwerrePikin:
I doubt if you are Etche because as a Rivers man from Ikwerre, i know and have etchie friends who know their history which is not related to Igbo.

If you are truly etche then you’re a disgrace to etchie people. You went to the university in Lagos, instead of you to form your cultural group, you decided to join igbo cultural group. The etches in Rivers state universities do they have their own cultural group or join the igbos? Of course they have their own cultural group in Rivers state universities but yet you went to Lagos to betray your people that is why i doubt if you’re truly Etche.

Another thing is that, you lack true history. If you don’t know your history, then you don’t know where you come from, and that is your problem.

Ikwerre,Ekpeye, Ogba and Etche people are not Igbos and have never been Igbos.

can you tell us what connects ikwere to Bini?
You bear Igbo names
Your village bears Igbo names
Your kings are called eze instead of oba
Your 3 small LGAs don't have any border with Bini
Your language sounds like a typical Anambra language
Your dressing is the modern Igbo isiagu dress
In the old eastern region, ikwere was considered Igbo

Please tell us what in your culture connects you with Bini

IDENNAA:
What non existent evidence. Ika and Ikwerre will never have a civil discussion with you because it will lead to actually examining real facts and these ppunks don't want facts. They want a made up story of Bini migration.

Onicha people were once like them until the Anambra experience. Soon , they realized the average Anambra will just laugh and ignore their ignorance. Today , the Onicha man has been humbled.

As for Ikwerre, one word ignore the nonentities and watch as they disappear. They are not worth the headache but I understand Ndigbo wanted a United Igbo nation that includes the Igboid.

you are right. Bini people whose surnames and village names is Igbo. Who occupied Igbo quotas in the old eastern region. Who continue to enjoy Igbo support to hold Delta and rivers state.
Very wicked and senseless people

Tranquill:
Your response even suggests that you are actually from Umuahia and not Etche as you claim. Good luck.

see pains o

Tranquill:
So why do you think they were not carved into Imo and Abia? During the regional government when the Igbos were at the helm of affairs, did they see and treat these people as Igbos? Do your research and find out the atrocities these people suffered in their hands. Till now do they really see you as Igbo if not for their political convenience because they feel it's what gives them the right to say that they must include the South South in their Biafra instead of the true Biafra of the 5 Eastern States.

I would suggest that you make effort to convince the rest of your family members to accept being Igbo first before addressing other ethnic groups just based on your experience at Yaba polytechnic.

can you tell us with evidence what Igbos did to ikwere and ekpeye etc during the old eastern region
Look at this old document from 1960s...see what ikwere was described as?

MinorityOpinion:
for example look at Yoruba cousin, the Igala, they belong to Yoruboid group, they wear clothes that look like Yoruba dress, our language is quite similar to theirs, so can you tell me are igalas in Anambra Yoruba?

I understand some of your point, your family may be one of earlier igbos immigrant and you said, your elders have said they are not Igbos you can't know more than your elders.

Thanks

I'm bookmarking this incase you decide to come and claim naija Delta tomorrow

PSconsultinga:
He embraces all his nationalities equally. That doesn't make him less South African or African.

actually he doesn't. He famously said that his only regret was not leaving south Africa sooner

Guestlander:
Na wah o. Do you realize that there are Yorubas who are not in the APC? By the way, where is the rest of the article?

no be small wah my brother...go and read it thanks

Guestlander:
You didn't answer my question. Yorubas have been resolute in calling for restructuring while your people pretended it was none of your business. Tell me exactly when Yoruba changed course in the middle of the struggle.
Lay it bare or forever remain a liar.

lol

Yoruba Moslem lamentations

omenka:
Who the fvck cares?

Nigeria is hemorrhaging uncontrollably and all these men care about is photo-ops and what not. Not a care is given what the nation is going through- runaway corruption, insecurity, petty crimes, electoral malpractices, etc.

Who in God's name will bell this cat? We are currently on a path to damnation and if Buhari goes along with this level of aloofness, then we might wake up one way with only the ashes of this potentially great nation in our hands.

Afonja lamentations
You made the mistake twice. 2015 and 2019

IvarTheBoneless:
Let me be nice this time..

The chestbeating might have ended in tears...but I am in a good mood

the chest beating dey always pain Una na...that's why we do it

Igbo women will rule Nigeria one day.
The most powerful women in Nigeria are always igbos

Amaka

Judolisco:
Only northerners can start a revolution in Nigeria... And mayb Niger deltans... The rest na chicken dem be especially the yoruba's.... 1 sec dem don put fire 4 everywhere

the only revolution in Nigeria so far was done by the Igbos so please talk small small

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr


Niggarrr damnnnnn

Our Igbo brothers always making us proud

Always making the world to realise and see us as the real niggarrrs of Africa
First it was Nneka Ede...that sweet Igbo lady way buy one Portuguese club...now this again...

Damnnnnn niggarrr...Igbo amaka

rtdCivilservant:
I pity all of u replying that woman(the op), she is a known mad woman here on nairaland and I am surprised u guys don't know her. Desist from replying her for ur own good.

well her posts are consistent. I know because I have lived among black Americans. They are social media freaks when they are depressed.

Generally being in u.s is not as fun as it sounds. The infrastructure is ok but the social life can be zero. U.s is even more dangerous for a black person than Nigeria. So if you want to have a social life you must take the risk of coming out at night and/or dangerous locations.
A simple traffic stop by police can lead to death of unlucky.
The only people enjoying u.s are whites and rich blacks

SpecialAdviser:
Thank God for her.

Dave Umahi the governor of Ebonyi state is the person that made me understand that there is so much money in the hands of politicians.

Anyone who fails to do something is simply heartless. Most of our politicians are so heartless.

I thought you use to do cheerleader for Gburugburu

omenka:
[s]I didn't read whatever balderdash you just typed. Don't care, never will.

You've had your two seconds under the spotlight with omenka. I'm sure your soul feels super uplifted.

Have a nice day.[/s]

ewedu trash

omenka:
I own this, I own that, blablabla. We've seen such empty bragging here a million times.

Go tell that to those juvenile ignoramuses in your neighborhood.

Nonsense.

lol...see painment o
But come o...how do you even think that Igbos who went to war for Biafra barely 50 years ago will not prefer Biafra to the world's poorest country where everybody wants to run away from?
Tell yourself the truth...apart from igbo government officials, what is an average Igbo gaining from Nigeria?

omenka:
Some of you people that keep chanting this biafra thing are doing so because you have nothing to your names and have nothing to offer. Your hope is that you'd become made from the ensuing chaos through one means or another.

If you like no go find something tangible to do with your life. Dey there dey hope for something wey no dey likely in the next fifty years.

see this one. I own a duplex in Enugu and I'm setting up a small factory and I am 100% for Biafra
You deluded folks already know that 80% of Igbos will vote an astounding yes if you ever put up Biafra for a vote.
You think every Igbo owns a property in Lagos? Dey there. Igbos who own property in Lagos no reach 1% of Igbo population in Nigeria

Farki:
But isn't the South East already very developed?

So much so that they want to share it with us lowly brown roofs.

you people are the worst Nigerians.
The south east was devastated by a civil war so we can understand why some areas are undeveloped
The north was devastated by terrorism so we can understand their developmental disabilities
The Niger Delta has been devastated by oil spills and oil bunkering so we can understand their developmental problems

The south west on the other hand has never witnessed conflict and has even hosted lagos, Nigeria's capital city for 76 years. What is your excuse for still looking like this?

Sammy07:
Igbos are different from IPOB.

IPOB are jobless and brainless with their head full of nnamdi kanu shit
Igbos are out there with their business, no time to think about biafra

lol... Afonjas eh... how do you guys sleep at night? I fear who no fear you. I know that some of you don't even trust yourselves personally.

Yoro Móslems are the problem of Nigeria

Sammy07:
I wrote IPOB not Igbos.

Both Simplyleo and miniorityopinion, they only dislike IPOB not igbo.

except if you say all Igbos are IPOB which is not true

what does IPOB mean again? Indigenous people of Biafra.
Which Igbo person is not an indigenous People of Biafra?

Sammy07:
you and IPOB , hope they won't visit shrine cos of you?

even you too. Is there a yoruba person who is not inordinately obsessed with Igbos?

Teewhy2:
Kudos to the woman, she becomes the 2nd Nigeria to own an european club after Mr. Kunle soname who owns Remo Stars, Clube Desportivo Feirense (portugal) and also the chairman of Bet9ja.
Good things are coming from Nigeria just don't know why it's the bad things that rings bell.

good things are coming from south Nigeria...be specific please

Heavensent01:
a mere propaganda that was long debunked, so una still carry this news

which one is propaganda? The fact that a yoruba general is about to be disgraced or the fact that yorubas celebrated and actively participated in killing Igbos?

Heavensent01:
Yoruba was under obligations and have no choice than to respect the rule of the land since they didn't put interest in your secession, so what should Yoruba do?


and which link can I watch where the Yoruba people rejoice because I watched how some Yoruba activist mount a protest of ceasefire between ojukwu and Nigeria troops


abeg dey read your history well

well following your logic, the person rejoicing about the yoruba general being court martialed is also under obligation to follow the rules of the land. Why is the other person acting like southerners shouldn't rejoice because of another disgraced Yoruba general

kkkp:
So you have concluded even before the University starts. Typical religious bigot

the university is about Islamic arts, law and philosophy...sure
It has nothing to do with Normal education. The north should just form their Islamic Republic like Sudan and Chad and stop forcing one yeye Nigeria on everybody

prezeus:
The delta igbos accept as part of their history that they were once part of the Benin empire . You my friend are an ignorant buffoon. Maybe if had taken your time to actually research and not wasting all your data watching porn and your spare time following tacha and mercy , maybe you would have a little idea of what I'm talking about.

I'm the creator of this thread. I study history professionally.
I liked one of your posts when you said you can colonise someone and keep their language.
I however think you are not a very intelligent person that I can debate with so.....
