Ikare Akoko town of Ondo State, done with this NYSC, got to leave this place...look at the background and see pristine rustiness


God bless us all

The Ondo state government has assured the people of Okitipupa Local Government Area of government’s swift intervention to rehabilitate the
landslide along the major road in the council area.

is this really akure? just wondering but I think it is cool and there is room for improvement. Was there around the FUTA for some event

LOVELY IBADAN CITY ... A CITY THAT I SO MUCH ADMIRE..I WAS AT BODIJA..BODIJA MAKES SENSE A BIT ...BUT CHALLENGE BUS STOP ZONE HAS CHALLENGES

WHO BE THIS ONE ?

Ritchiee:
These Igbo people are really pathetic.No wonder they call them the wailers.We said neighbourhood.Do animals live in the neighbourhoods...PEW...always complaining.Look at that his f.lat head...lol

tHIS MAN SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR KILLING A SPECIE OF SNAKE THAT IS ENDANGERED

Why post SUV and picture of a fine boy....has it gotten to that level


We need pictures of Igbo cities ...we agree the western cities and hoods are paved with gold and pearls and their people go to farm with Lamborghini and masserati

Kini big deal


Pls hit me with Igbo towns sweet pictures


They are sources of inspiration


Were is okeikpu and asadike and lovelylillac with beremx the enfant terrible

OdenigboAroli:
First off,there is no Bini people in Onicha and...never been. What you have is Igb o who once resided in the Bini area. As for Anioma, What happened was cultural exchanges,simple. Bini never conquered anybody nor extended their empire. They built a wall around their village for fear of the Anioma Igbo like the Agbor. Infact,they were scared of Ndi Agbor. They built their little kingdom and made sculptures and that was it,it didn't go past that.

So correct ..I wonder how they come and say edo conquered Igbo..in which war ..we have the ekumeku war,we had the aro war and so many war


Which war did edo conquered the delta Igbo ..non and absolutely non ...they just blab


If they were powerful why build most biggest moat and walls around their reddy muddy small enclave


They must have been scared of the aros


Edo are just over bloated history never achieved nothing apart from an exiled king and demished kingdom

huangcheng:
Chaiii!!! It must really be hard to be an EDO man right now. Hausas don't want you, Yorubas deny you, Igbos distant themselves from you. Edos are in-between-ers.

Edos are Yorubas, after-all they share something in common - Treachery!!!

They should look west and forget east

vicadex07:
Lol...they're claiming patrimony to Igbo people to ehn?

Maybe igbo people are truly descendants of edo people

***runs outta thread before one nnamdi sees this***

Y u dey craze like this

Look at edo

Hian

Few minutes ago I was just looking at how they termed an edo man omo odua here in Lagos the man vehemently told them he is not omo odua and this is a man in his 50s

So all I ask why did edo allow the Yoruba to rewrite their history via oduduwa fable

biafranking:
then how come they said onicha man have benin influence via culture or origin..

Yu can enlighten us more..duru1 or asha80 any help on this.?

Eze Chima was an Igbo man that sourjourned in Benin , he prospered then fell out with the king he was on reverse migration back to Igbo land ..he formed most Igbo villages with his followers and slaves from agbor to onicha Igbo then onicha mili

The name Eze Chima was an Igbo name and the evidence is still there and mind you Benin never influenced Onitsha

Some parts of Onitsha came from iguedo the only NRI daughter with nsugbe et al

biafranking:
before benin came to ogba,diobu and ph or whatever places the op mention,there was an igbos man existing there.
Before benin came to onitsha,there was an igbo tribes existing there,
Before benin came to ndokwa or ukwuani to influenced them a bit,there was igbos pple existing there.
Before God sent israelite to occupied the promised land,there were pple existing there called the canaanite and hittite..

Before benin strangers came to ikwerre or aniocha land as the op said, there was an igbo man existing there..
and that s why our language is a symbol of evidence of population of igbo pple living there b4 the arrival of benin strangers..

so make una chill, the most important thing is that if the present edo people cannot communicate with an ogba man,ukwuni man,ikwerre man and onitsha man with his own language then he should forget him/her as a brother to attached with cos language and relationship matters alot.
So the benin civilization lost the unity of assimilating one language into their system..
Sometime i wondered who re the benin we re talking here cos in edo state, they have over100 diversity and varieties of languages..
Auchi man does not understand an esan or benin languages,
even igbanke man or ika man does not understand the benin language.
and they will tell yu they re from edo state but do not understand and speak the same languages...

U dey mind them .nobi small Benin wey no reach 1000000 for population seff

Another Igbo boy putting Igbo in global map

Mrs Jimoh Mulikat Adebukola and her six-year-old twins were caught at Lagos Airport carrying 4.050 kg of substance confirmed as cocaine. She concealed 3.350kg in almost every part of her body, including on her chest and underwear.

She also used her innocent six years old twins to carry about 700 grammes of the illicit drugs. Spokesman of the NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, quoted Mrs Jimoh as saying:
“I have problem of my children’s school fees. I have six children and I intend to give them good education. I also have younger ones and aged parents to take care of. They asked me to swallow the drugs, but I was afraid, that is why I packed them in my body.”

Now that she is going to prison, how will she pay the school fees? People really need to be wise!

Lol

onenaira3:


I keep coming back here expecting to see SW and north floor this page with their residential neighborhood since they are the ones that started the dick measuring comparison but what I see is either them trying to change topic, trying to divert attention away and the ones that do try to catch up either post 3D model pics, government project or the newest latest one art project by a USA artist
The latest excuse I now see is from the wizkid, wizboy or wizguy or whatever he calls himself saying and I quote "we would not post south west picture because look at thread it is talking about eastern area"
If Una knew that why did you people shamelessly invade the thread to dick measure. Let's be real, y'all invaded because Una thought you'll win and after getting the @ss whupping of a lifetime, calling it @ss whupping is even an understatement, this was a slaughter, Una are now saying whatever you can think of to save face

Next time don't start sh1t Una can't finish
Hope to see more government projects, 3D models and usa arts from Una. LMFAOOO. Kudos to forgiveness, at least that nigg@ tried.

The next big thing coming to the SE- Greenwood City under-construction in Awka. Well paved wide roads/streets with walk-ways and green-lawn.

The cream dela cream of the SE are already scrambling to have their foot-print on the world class city. I heard recently that Emeka Anyaoku, Ibeto, Emeka Offor, Ifeanyi Uba, Stella Odua etc have already acquired some part of the massive zone for hospitality, up-scale homes, high-end event centers, high-rises office spaces etc, also the headquarters of Orient Petroleum will be sited in the area.

So on point

osemwengie1:
SOME WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR REAL ORIGIN.
BUT JUST DO YOUR THOROUGH RESEARCH YOU WILL COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF THIS HISTORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ.

Who are the Edo people?

EDO, is what you can describe as the "generic name given to a group of people who have a common ancestor and have a common language, with some different variants, depending on the distance between the group and the " tap root, " resident in and around the present day Benin City. In short, the land, the political state, the people, tribe, language and the principal city -Benin City is called EDO. At a point in the history of these people, another name called BENIN came into use. These Edo-speaking people are divided into the following clans today:

a) " BINI " derived from the word Benin for people living in and around Benin City, in Edo State. People living in and around Benin City, are gradually accepting the word BINI, as descriptive of their clan. Otherwise, they prefer to be simply called EDO.

b) ESAN/Ishan-for the immediate neighbor to the north are people living in around Irrua, Orhodua, Uromi, Ubiaja, Ewu, Ewatto, Igueben and the almighty Evbohimwin (Ewohimi))" the city by the big river " or " the city of Ikhimwin trees " etc.

c) The Afemais known as IVBIOSAKON by those living in and around Benin City to the north of Ishan/Esan clan.

d) Akoko-Edos based in Igarra, Ibillo and its environs to the north of Afemais.

e) The Owans-ORAS occupying Eme, Sabogida-Ora, Afuze, etc. Uhobe (SOBE) and Ifon in Ondo State.

f) Ekas-to East of Benin. A sizeable chunk of the Edo speaking people flow across River Niger and ending at ONITSHA.

g) Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiris and about 70% percent of western Izon (Ijaws) in Ndegeni and its environs

h) A sizeable chunk of the Edos is found in River States and Balyesa States e.g. Ogba land and Diobu, Port Harcourt.

i) A sizeable chunk has been " Yorubanised in Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos and Ogun States. The descendants of Edo soldiers stationed in Akure are referred to today as ADO-AKURE (Edo ne ’kue) There are many Edos in Ekiti land, Idoani, Idanre etc going through life in Nigeria with Yoruba names. Acculturation has taken place. You are either a Yoruba man or you go nowhere.

j) The ILAJE community at OKITIPUPA and its environs.

k) The Edos who conquered and settled far way land like Dahomey, Togo and Ghana.

The Edo language is part of the Kwa-Niger group of languages according to Linguist. These people have lived were they are now for " Thousands of years." The monarchy centered in Benin City is about 6000 years old, including pre-ogiso and Ogiso era of history. All the clans had various functions, which they perform at the palace. For example, the Ishans/Esans were principally the medicine men and warriors of the ancient empire. They were the medical practitioners. The chieftancy groups responsible for the Oba's well being are dominated by Ishan/Esan descendants. The Ivbiosakon (Afemais) were the dental surgeon of the palace. That is the origin of the name IVBIOSAKON. Oba Esigie assigned that function to them in the c1500's.

The Owan/Ora people were the propitiators of the physical earth for the Oba of Benin. It was their responsibility to prevent things like earthquake, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes and anything associated with geological disturbance to occur in Benin. In short, they were the geologists and weathermen of their day, forecasting and preventing physical calamities. Those we call BINIS today, were the traditional bureaucratic administrators and military generals. The Izons (Ijaws) were the " OZIGUE" -SAILORS The Ekas were farmers. They were in charge of the royal farms.

The Ibos across the Niger call the Edos, IDU, the name of the progenitor of Edo race, the Yorubas call us ADO, which is a corruption of the word EDO. However, the Itsekiris, another sub group in the Edo clans call us UBINI. Tradition asserts that it is derived from ILE-IBINU, which is descriptive of the exasperation and frustration encountered in Benin City, by Prince Oranmiyan of ILE-IFE. A further research may prove that, it was the Itsekiris who gave that name, to the people living in and around Benin City. The Itsekiris told the white man of the powerful overlord living in Igodomigodo. It was the Itsekiris who told the Whiteman that the name of the tribe of this powerful king was UBINI- a term which Whiteman corruptly wrote down as Benin. For example, the name of the eldest daughter of Oba Osewende, the mother of the OSULAS and the AIWERIOGHENES is today known as AGHAYUBINI. A closer examination of that name would reveal that the name is an Itsekhiri phrase-" The Ubini Lady or woman " i.e. the woman from Benin. Aghayubini was a very wealthy trader among the Itsekiris, from whence she got the money she used, is getting the throne for her brother, who became Oba ADOLO. An Itsekhiri descriptive phrase has simply over powered her original Edo name, to the extent that nobody knows anything about it now.

The ancient Edo/Benin Empire covered the whole of Bendel, parts of Bayelsa State and I repeat Balyesa State. The second son of the Enogie of Brass, popularly known as IYASE NE OHENMWEN became the Iyase of Benin under Oba Osewende. Iyase Ohenmwen is the ancestor of the OTOKITIS, THE OKEAYA-INNEH AND THE AIWERIOGHENES of Benin today. It also covers the IGBO-speaking areas of Delta State stretching to Onitsha. People hardly know that the actual title of the Obi of Onitsha is AIGBOGHIDI. The historical Chief Agho Obaseki of Oba Ovoranmwen era and later the Iyase of Benin under Oba Eweka II, was a descendant of the second son of Enogie of NSUKWA now in Delta State. It extended to the whole of Ondo State, parts of Ekiti and Ogun State and the whole of Lagos State including BADAGRY. It stretched to southern Dahomey (Republic of Benin) and on to the coast of Togo and Ghana.

THE OWANS /ORAS:

Oba Ozolua is traditionally regarded as the ancestor of the Owans/Ora. He was known as Prince Okpame before he became known as Oba Ozolua. He had sought refuge in Uwokha in Ivbiosakon areas in c1473. From Uwokha, Oba Ozolua founded Ora and other villages. Oba Ozolua was a warlord. He beat the people of Uzea near Uromi to a pulp when there was a revolt. He extended his carnage to Uromi when the Enogie was reported to have been rude to his messengers. He went up through Akoko land, wandering into Nupe lands where he acquired a lot of sophisticated weaponry then. He attacked the Igallas and Igbirras in the present Kogi and Kwarra states. After spending the greater part of his life in ORA, he left behind his son UGUAN and returned to Benin City.

But before he left, he proclaimed everybody free men and free women, entitled to enjoy the privileges of Edo princes and Princesses, for all the services they had rendered in his military campaigns. That is why the Oras call themselves today, the CHILDREN OF OZOLUA. Besides being in charge of propitiating the physical earth, they are responsible for ritually exorcising any harm that might come upon the EDO NATION-the land due to violation of sexual or other taboos. Their GUILD, quartered at EVBORHAN quarter in OGBELAKA in Benin City by Oba Esigie, demands steep fines from the culprits for their services.

A few years ago, the Oba of Benin created an Ogie-Duke-traditional rulership for the Oras because of popular demand.

Fine. that's all i wanted to the know and all you said also confirmed that Oyinbo's and Ndigbo's are also found in Ibadan Neighbourhood.

Gmmmm

funny enough i started driving at the age of 17 and nobody ever taught me how to drive till date...learnt it from daddy...when he was taking us to school and I always watch him drive his car..as i grew older I watch people drive and the way they changed their gears....that was how i learnt ...then the finest point was when I watched the first fast and furious movie...that had ludacris and co and it tought me how to change my gears

but that doesnt make me a perfect driver cos the first time I bought my car... burnt clutch the first 4 months...oh Lagos traffic is killing especially FESTAC area...driving manual is fun...you rarely use both legs apart from tapping on the clutch when you want to change.

i own a manual and an auto...i enjoy driving my manual, the changing of gear to the 5th gear is like making love to a shapely woman and coming together...oh I love my car...the sound of engine when you rev in the 5th gear is so heavenly ...when you want to overtake in 3rd mainland bridge .....just when you feel the car aint pushing faster and your reving harder....just bring it back to 4 then gear 3 then push it back to 5 ..all these within a 60 sec window....oh draving manual is an art...the only snag is my manual is a japanesse ...saving for a benz or BMW manual ...that is the beast...with those german machine I can do Lagos Onitsha within 3 - 4 hours


but wify will never touch my manual...she enjoys auto


I think in Auto the car drives you and in manual you drive the car...
