You guys are so foolish. See as you're disgracing yourself

Am from Onitsha.

What Obi of Onitsha explained in that video is that Onitsha people are Igbos that traveled and settled in Ile ife years ago, on the process of migrating back. Some of them settled in yoruba land, such as Ijebu Igbo, some settled in Edo, Delta, Anambra (Onitsha Ado) while some go beyond and settled in Imo (Onitsha Mbaise), Some in Ebony (Onitsha Afikpo) even in Enugu state.

https://www.nairaland.com/7874491/eze-chima-prince-ohime-ancestor

The Benin Origin Of Onitsha: By Late President Nnamdi Azikiwe-

The first President of Nigeria. Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Genealogy and Nativity

"Thus, in tracing my paternal lineage, I could say that both parents of my father are direct descendants of Eze Chima. As for me, I can trace my paternal ancestry in this wise: I am the first son of Chukwuemeka, who was the third child and first son of Azikiwe, who was the second son of Molokwu, who was the third son of Ozomaocha, who was the second son of Inosi Onira, who was the fourth son of Dei, the second son of Eze Chima, the founder of Onitsha."

SOURCE - Nnamdi A zikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" P4
"I can trace my maternal ancestry thus: I am the first son of Nwanonaku Rachel Chinwe Ogbenyeanu (Aghadiuno)Azikiwe, who was third daughter of Aghadiuno Ajie, the fifth son of Onowu Agbani, first daughter of Obi Udokwu, the son who descended from five Kings of Onitsha. Five of these rulers of Onitsha were direct lineal descendants of Eze Chima (PRINCE OHIME), who led his warrior adventurers when they left Benin to establish the Onitsha city state in about 1748 AD.

" SOURCE - Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" P5[b] "One day I asked her (grandmother) the meaning of the word 'Onitsha'. She explained that it had historical significance. The terminology meant one who despised another. It is a contraction of two words, Onini to despise, and Ncha meaning others. So that the two words when joined together mean one who despises others. Then I asked her why we despised others. She patted me on the back and told me that it was due to our aristocratic background and tradition. I insisted that she should explain to me the basis of this supercilious social attitude. She told me that we despised others because we descended from the Royal House of Benin and so regarded ourselves as the superiors of other tribes who had no royal blood in their veins, "

"I continued to belabor my grandmother to tell me more of the history and origins of the Onitsha people. She narrated that many many years ago, there lived at Idu (Benin) a great Oba who had many children. Due to a power struggle regarding the right of precedence among princes of the blood and other altercations, there was a civil war in Benin. One day, the supporters of one of the princes insulted and assaulted Queen Asije, the mother of of the Oba of Benin, who was accused of having trespassed on their farmland. Enraged at this evidence of indiscipline and lawlessness, the Oba ordered his war chief and brother, Gbunwala Asije to apprehend and punish the insurgents. In the attempt to penalize them, Chima (OHIME), the ultimate founder of the Onitsha City-State, a Prince of the blood in his own right, led the recalcitrants against his Uncle, Gbunwala. This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N'Idu, "As the great trek from Benin progressed, some did not have the stout heart of the pioneer-warrior, and decided to settle at different places, known today as Onitsha -Ugbo, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha-Mili, Obior, Issele Ukwu, Ossomari, Aboh, etc.[/b]

Do not you understand the man words? How, then, will you ever understand any words on Nigeria Biafra second civil war?

But other people believe that the second Nigeria-Biafra civil war will spread out over all the 36 States of Nigeria including Abuja and would not be like the first Nigeria Biafra civil war that was only fought in south east and some parts of south south regions of Nigeria ( old eastern region then).

Listen then if you have ears and pay attention to what you hear, whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the open and whatever is covered up will be uncovered: another civil war is going to happen in Nigeria again if the Nigeria government refuse to fix date for Biafra referendum this year 2023.

Biafra was an unqualified evil in minority lands.

I am quite interested in your Biafran War story. Up till now, the Igbos have completely dominated that narrative…

Yes, they’ve been blessed with powerful writers like Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie, Chinelo Okparanta, etc., and an army of Biafran War scholars, you know… I think, like you, most Nigerians would be interested in knowing what happened to our minorities in Biafra. I am just happy that after 50 years, I have been able to do it my way. I say my way because I am not the first minority to write about the Biafran War.

How do you think the Igbos would react to the Biafran atrocities against our minorities in your book?


Most of them think they alone suffered in the war… but, Professor Okey Ndibe, a foremost Igbo intellectual, novelist and essayist, really asked great questions at the Rain Taxi interview a day after the book came out.
Okey was really brilliant. That’s an example of someone who is listening, someone who can empathize. I sincerely believe it would be to the benefit of our Igbo brothers and sisters to listen. Knowledge is a good thing. The Igbos themselves are a people who believe in diversity. We cannot say it enough: the Igbo suffered a lot in the war—but they, too, can learn. Biafra was an unqualified evil in minority lands. They just plundered the place, raping men and women. They looked down on us. We were nothing to them. Many of them still look down on us today… otherwise, how do you explain this so-called map of the new Biafra that still includes minority lands? Who told them the Isokos want to be in Biafra? Have they asked your people?


I must tell you right away, the Annangs, Efiks, Ibibios, Orons, Ogonis, etc., who’ve read the book are quite happy to see their towns and languages and their war dilemmas and atrocities in the book. Why should we remain fringe characters or nameless “saboteurs” in these narratives? Look, [b]Biafra was no better than Nigeria in raping and torturing and killing [/b]our peoples…We’ve been erased from the war narrative for so long. As long as you keep writing about the war as a fight between the Yorubas and Hausas and Igbos (the three major ethnic groups), the Igbos remain the victims. But as soon as widen this lens to include the minorities, at least in Biafra, then the story becomes complicated. You begin to see that the Igbos might have had their knee on our neck even while being crushed by the horrible Nigeria army.

If Oduduwa was from Benin, why did Benin send emissaries to Oduduwa to replicate the system of monarchy rule in Ile Ife?

What was his father's name in Benin? grin

From Ikaladerhan to Oduduwa: The Story of a Prince of Benin

Eweka I & the beginning of Oba Era {About 1200AD-1235AD} After the banishment of Owodo; the last Ogiso under the {Ogiso periods} for misrule Evain who had earlier distinguished himself as a brave man by destroying the man-eating Osogan, wasappointed as an adminstrator who ruled Benin for nearly 40 years. At his old age, Evian nominated his son Ogiamien as a successor. Unfortunately, this nomination did not go well with the Edo people who maintained that succession to the the throne is always applicable to kings and not to commoners to which class Evian belonged.

Spear headed by Oliha, there was a serious agitation to bring back the monarch.The nation was thrown into a state of internecine war and as a way out the elders {led by Oliha} went on a search party to look for Ikaladerhan {the banished son of the last Ogiso Owodo} who had for some time taken refuge at Uhe {or Ife as is now known}.

The search party reached Uhe to meet Ikaladerhan already enjoying the status of a king. The Edo people could not persuade him to return home. Nevertheless he Ikaladerhan now known as Oduduwa agreed to send his son if only the Benin could take care of him. This is how Oduduwa sent his Grandson Oranmiyan to Benin.

To test whether the Edo people would care for their king, Oduduwa gave the Edo people three years to nurse the common louse. On their success, the great Oduduwa was convinced that the people really would care for their king.

Oranmiyan was thereafter sent to Benin in 1170AD. He came into Benin amidst the serious opposition of Ogiamien who refused him entry into the city which was still under the firm grip of his administration. Oranmiyan was therefore forced to settle at Usama which was an outskirt of the city State . There he remained under the political support of the elders {Edion} headed by chief Oliha. Oranmiyan had both language and cultural handicaps because of his Yoruba backgrounds.

Although he had a Benin father {Ikaladerhan} yet he was really born and bred in yoruba land which was then the adopted kingdom, a refugee prince who had now found a new home at Ife. When Oranmiyan could neither speak nor understand the Benin custom, Unable to bear the animosity for very long renounced his position and labeled Edo land [Benin kingdom] lle Ibinu meaning land of annoyance and vexation and declared that only a child of the soil educated in the culture and tradition of the land could rule the kingdom. He thereafter returned to Uhe{IIe Ife}

On his way back home he stopped briefly at Ego where he impregnated princess Erimwinde the daughter of the Enogie of
Ego who bear him a son. In his early years couldn’t talk when his father who by now established the Alafin dynasty in Oyo had of his son
predicament, sent his son’s mother Ehendiwo seven marbles. While playing this marbles with other children one of his throws hit the target in excitement screamed Owomika {I have succeeded} which was Corrupted into Eweka.

For a period of over 30 years, the administration of Benin City was virtually in the hands of Ogiamien family until1200 AD when the "Boy-King" Eweka I as a young king ruled the kingdom with the assistance of his maternal grandfather Ogiegor. Oba Eweka I started the reign of the Obas. Hitherto, the kings were known as Ogiso but when Eweka I came as a king, he was referred to as Oba. The word Oba meaning is probably from an abbreviation of the original name of the first Ogiso {Obagodo {Oba godo}-Oba king; godo-high : High King}. The word came into use as connoting kingship during Oba Eweka I in 1200 AD. Oba Eweka reigned for 35 years at his demise , his rival children ruled in succession.

1. Nsude pyramids Udi Enugu State dated 2630-2610 BC



2. Igbo potteries they're distinct with Uli design which is an igbo artistic style Results indicate that pottery making has been in existence in the Igbo culture region since before 2000 B.C. The earliest evidence to date comes from Afikpo.


3. Igbo ukwu bronze works almost all dates back to the 9th century AD
The arts where first ever bronze work done in not just Nigeria but west Africa as a whole at that time using a lost wax casting method to make the surface well detailed.
The composition of the metal alloys used in the production of the bronze is unique, with an unusually high silver content and is distinct from alloys used in Europe, the Mediterranean or other African bronze centers
The Grove Encyclopedia of Materials and Techniques in Art describes them as being "among the most inventive and technically accomplished bronzes ever made cool

4. Nsịbịdị writting have been dated to 400 AD and even earlier

Igbos are very ancient people like my grandad use to say

Igbo is a compressed igbo word for "ndi gbo" literally means "old people" in my dialect


Igbo civilization outdates even the nok civilization in Nigeria



So how did Ibos end up like this just in the last 20th century? Ibos are bush (igbo) people only rescued by the coming of the white man.

bjdon:
Mention anything about tribe and see low intelligence Africans get all excited and emotional. Who cares where who originated from? What should be of importance is what's going on now. No Nigerian state has pipe borne water across the whole state, dilapidated schools and hospitals, universities that are no better than secondary schools in the west. Crashing currency, insecurity... so many issues that should focus the mind, but no, all low intelligence people want to discuss is tribe this, tribe that.
Africans are a cursed lot!

We are going to divide and that is why it is important we all understand who we are now so we know where we will end up.
The problem is your Ibos don't want to stand on their own.
