Yes, the whole Southeast originated from Benin Republic, I hope you're satisfied?

But please please please, Obomoso migrants, stop calling Lagos a no man's land. Once that Obomoso bus carries you past Ogun State and you see that "welcome to Lagos," kindly respect the Royal Oba of Lagos. Respect your Benin benefactor and your Igbo landlords. Thanks. wink cheesy
Then leave their land for them..you are a land grabber, even SE as a whole doesn't belong to you cheesy

Onitsha isn't igbo land
https://www.nairaland.com/3357560/nigerian-govt-there-re-no/4#49549448


GREAT BENIN ORIGIN OF ONITSHA


BENIN ROOT OF ONITSHA

  Many of our traditional titles are the same with the Edos/Binis: Onicha titles like “Iyasele” is “Iyasere” in Bini; “Ogene Onira” is “Oliha” in Benin; “Odu Osodi” is “Osodin” in Benin; “Omodi Daike” in Onitsha is “Edaiken” in Benin; “Esagba” in Onitsha is “Esogban” in Benin; the “Isama” titles are the same in both towns amongst many others. The “Obi” of modern Onitsha today is the continuation of the ancient Pharonic dynasty of ancient Kemet or Egypt. Onitsha must retrace the history of her monarchs from his imperial Majesty Obi Achebe back to the Ogiso Kings of Igodomigodo in Edo, then to Egypt; to Pharoah Tutankhamon, Pharoah Amenemhet, Pharoah Amenemes, Pharoah Amenkhuti Ra; Pharoah Khafara, and back to the first dynasty in Egypt. Enough of this tracing of our kingship to just Obi Oreze or his father Ohime(corrupted to “Chima”) by his later descendants. Onicha people came from Benin or Edo land, they were also in Igbo land. I suspect that the Priests of Nri were distantly connected, that is why till date an Nri King upon consecration must bring certain sacrifial items to the Obi of Onicha and must sleep over in Onicha before assuming the Nri throne. Why would the very traditional Nri people who were(and still are) known all over the Igbo land as a holy people and the spiritual custodian of all Igbo lands, accord these rights to Onicha Kings? All these indicate that Onicha and many other tribes had had prior interactions and established certain traditional precedence which had been ongoing before the Onicha town was founded just around 700 hundred years ago. No Nri man would just concede to subject his divine King to some unknown immigrants who just crossed over from the Niger River, if that were to be the case.

authoritatively portray the following facts that the Ikelike people from the Bini kingdom were the first to settle in Ogwashi-Uku (see Ben Nwabua, Ogwash-uku Kingdom, 1000 Years of Traditional Democracy and Cultural Life, 950-1914). Both traditional and empirical sources gives credence that Ikelike people were the first set of immigrants to settle in the present Ogwashi-Uku as against the notion that Adaigbo who purportedly came from Nri in present Anambra State today is the founder of Ogwashi-Uku. So far, no counter claim has been made on this. According to Ogwashi-Uku intelligence report by Mr. J.E Hull, the then Assistant District Officer dated on the 9th of April 1936, the Ikelike people from all indications migrated from Benin to settle where they are found themselves today, because of a reign of wanton persecution of subjects by the then Benin Monarch, Oba Eweka 11. The story further goes that at the head was Odigie Ikelike with his younger brother Ado who later founded Adonta, a relatively small village close to Azungwu in Ogwashi-uku today.

The Ikelike migrants were said to be politically averse and could not, therefore evolve an orderly method of governance even though there were small in number. Jull`s report further went on to point out that because of such indisposition towards an effective means of governing themselves, it cost them the political leadership they were first to settle in. Rather, Adaigbo, the prince from Nri later came, controlled the situation and imposed leadership based on Igbo customs and tradition on them and what later became Ogwshi-Uku kingdom. Adaigbo’s imposed of republican system, however, later gave way to the hereditary system of the Benins . BENIN EMIGRATION OR EXODUS: The migration of Onicha people from Benin happened in phases over many years and did not happen once. The Ohime/Obi Ezechima’s exodus was one of the last ones that occurred but it should be noted that not all Onicha people left with Obi Eze Chima or Ohime. Some stayed back and are still in Benin today. Some took a different migrationary route towards Ile Ife and Ado Ekiti. Some went to establish Ondo. Some made a northern migrational journey towards the north to establish the Igala Kingdom.The Attah of Igala and a substantial part of the Igala kingdom were Onicha people who immigrated into Igala from Benin. The first Attah of Igala was a Prince of the Edo/Benin Kingdom. Now it can be understood why the Onicha people were ferried across the Niger and greatly assisted by their Igala kinsmen when they reached the banks of the Niger river. It can also be understood why Onicha people easily incorporated many Igala rituals and traditions into their own concepts. They were of the same roots but different branches. Onicha people left Benin to establish Igala; that was the secret behind the easy adoption of and exchange of different tenets amongst Onicha and Igala people. Some Onicha people, before Eze Chima’s exodus, had left Benin to establish other towns like Issele Ukwu, Ebu, Kwale, Ezzi, Onicha-Ukwu, Okpanam, Asaba(originally called “Araba”) and some other towns of Benin orientation that had been established before the Ezechima’s exodus from Benin.. It was these settlements that habored Obi Ohime/Ezechima when he and his family fled from Benin. The migration from Benin to Onicha Mmili took many years, towns of Onicha-Olona and Onicha-Ugbo were established by Onicha people who felt reluctant to continue and follow Obi Ohime to Onicha-mmili. ESTABLISHMENT OF ONICHA-MMILI AND HER RULING DYNASTY: Obi Ohime or Eze Chima, having been told that he could not enter Onicha, stayed for a long time in Obio with his family and relatives before he died. After he died, his relatives decided to continue with their migration to establish Onicha. The qualification for whom shall be crowned king was conditioned upon who shall sound ancient rhythms on a wooden Ufie. Traditionally, Ufie cannot be owned or be sounded/beaten by a person whose father is still alive. The contestants to the throne having just lost their father, had no ufie, however, Oreze Obi, had carved one which he hid under the boat and sounded first upon getting to Onicha whilst his siblings were busy looking for the appropriate wood to cut for the Ufie.

We've made so much money developing the whole world, I thought it would be nice to celebrate our very own Potor Land

Oh beautiful Potor Land
Home of the Asia-based Powder merchants and developers


All the golden roofs are wet and underneath garbage that piles softly in the streets,
slums are on top of each other mulling overnight On New Market Road which I also
bear in mind, its ant cars, little yellow taxis, bald k-legged men, bearded women
walking the size of specks of wool

Oh beautiful Potor Land
Home of the bearded one that scampered to Abidjan on Tulle skirts


Sometimes when my eyes are red, I go to Douglas Avenue and gaze at the yam-legged Amakas
Owerri. My buildings, streets I’ve done feats in, lofts, beds, cold water flats

Oh beautiful Potorland
Home of the great Evans the Kidnapper


In those days in the afternoon, I floated by ferry to Oguta beach then pushed the
babies in their carriages along the river wall observing Onitsha
Panorama of the bridges, sunrise over Onitsha, sun go down over
Port-Harcourt road where I was born Old Nkesi road where I played with potopoto—
— my later loves on, my greater loves of East Side

Oh Beautiful Potor land
Home of the famous Okija Shrine

Sad, I take the stare case and go down, pondering, and walk on the pavements
staring into all man’s plateglass, faces, questioning after who loves, and stop,
bemused in front of a spare parts shop standing lost in calm thought, traffic
moving up & down Obiagu Roadblocks behind me waiting for a moment when it's time to go home
time to go home & cook Akpu- time to go home and listen to Radio Biafuro..

FlyoruB:
To be honest with you, I don't entirely blame them for their over-estimation of their own abilities and achievements. I think that due to their humiliating Civil War defeat, they developed an inferiority complex which unfortunately has become very deep-seated. As a show of sympathy toward their plight, a lot of Yorubas and others from various ethnicities started over-praising them in an attempt to help soothe the agony of their defeat, but unfortunately this created another problem because they actually started believing that they're better than everybody else. They started looking down on others, misinterpreting the humility exhibited by others toward them as weakness. To their sick mind, they are the only 'industrious' people, the only people that aren't lazy. But all that crap is starting to backfire because even the Northerners won't take their shyt any longer hence their recent ultimatum.

You can't depend on other regions for survival while calling them names and forming superiority. Yorubas have been too diplomatic with them, to the extent that their excesses in our space has become intolerable. This thread in a way is a response and a backlash meant to correct the mistakes of some of our elders who encouraged them in the face of their blatant propaganda and over-estimation of their own importance. It is sending a STRONG and EMPHATIC message to them that they should quit deceiving themselves into thinking that they're the shyt, coz they ain't shyt cool, and that we are in FIRM CONTROL of our own space (no contest). Their propaganda has run its course. This thread na myth-buster that is setting the records straight.
I love the fact that the troll was running mad,as it's a sign of defeat and pain. Looking at the troll from psychologically angle it's indeed proved they have been defeated and conquered by facts provided in this myth bursting thread.


Make una let the troll, poverty stricken ibojews be. It's just that he couldn't take it anymore. grin

Lloydfather:
u were just ranting instead of shamelessly get ur ass out of this tread before u bring ur tribe shame. Those statistics were based on people leaving in the particular location presently when the statistics was made, those southwest state got those percentage because of the immigrants. Among all the people leaving in those ur areas which tribe were leaving more comfortable life if not the igbos. For the records because of the mass population of the igbos in southwest was the reason u have those statistics, just as the Igbo presence contribute to Lagos population. After one mumu will come here and say Lagos indigen were more in population than any other state in the south.
If all Igbo pull back to their region u will hardly see someone extremely poor in southeast.

In case u don't know at least 1 In every igbo family can boast of a million naira. It's not our fault it's the hand work of the Almighty God.

In case u are finding it difficult to accept the Igbo supremacy over ur tribe, u are free to hang ur self in the nearest transformer.





Don't bother to give me a mention because I don't reply foolish people. So ti gbo
• Where is the prove that ibos in those states lives more comfortable than people of these states?

• How come Ekiti and Osun that has least of your people top the list?


• And you ibosjews also want to claim that without your population in SS region they would have been among the lowest in the said stats,region, above?

• So, you also want to tell us that ibosjews in Lagos are richer without stats, and SW poverty index is low because ibojews are the reason, but how come with your predominant population in alaigbo you disgraced the whole of south region with your poverty?


Lmao grin

I just found this now :


Meet Omolabake Adenle -a Nigerian- she built a software that can speak and understand african languages.

Proud of you Girl!

~Trends of Nigeria

The African Innovation Foundation (AIF) recently announced the top 10 nominees who will be contending for the '2017 Innovation Prize for Africa', in Accra on July 18.

Innovators from nine African countries were shortlisted – one from DRC, Egypt, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, SA, Uganda and Zimbabwe; and two from Nigeria – and one of the most impressive minds on the list has to be Omolabake Adenle for her voice recognition and speech synthesis software for African languages.

Photo: Abake )
(Photo: Omolabake Adenle)
Founded under her startup, AJA.LA Studios, Adenle's software can understand and digitize African languages; and synthesize speech from African languages presented as digitized text – just imagine Siri speaking and reading Yoruba.

Digitizing African languages like this will allow Africans to interact with a wide range of devices and third-party software applications in their local languages.

While voice recognition and speech synthesis software have been developed for various Western and Asian languages, there has been very limited commercial application or academic research for African languages.

This innovation will open up opportunities for Africans with low literacy levels – or those that simply don't speak English – to also enjoy the benefits of the digital revolution.

[s]
biafran1stson:
Russell Bluejack Wrote.
.
BIAFRA REPUBLIC WILL STOP THE
UNDERDEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA BY AFRICANS
PART 1
Captioning this work, the first in the series,
was a serious challenge, the reason being
that my objective is to uncover the endemic
institution of corruption in the African
continent and Nigerian receding nation and
submit that Biafra will make the evasive
difference.
Nations in Africa, with the exception of the
white populated ones like South Africa and
Namibia, have always very low Gross
National Product (GNP) due to selfish,
greedy, myopic, and inordinately corrupt
leaders. The figure for South Africa and
Namibia is very encouraging due to their
mixed racial state - a sign that colonialism is
not all that bad, after all.
Lootocrats have always been the ones to
man what we call nations in Africa, with no
end in sight. Walter Rodney wrote a
classicus titled "How Europe
Underdeveloped Africa" wherein he said the
coming of the white man is responsible for
the stunted growth or absence of it in the
continent.
Rodney is an advocate of DEPENDENCY
THEORY, a theory that holds that Africans,
having been colonized, have remained
under the political and economic control of
the West, with the IMF and IBRD (World
Bank) as the specific instruments. Rodney, in
my view, failed to see that the state of affairs
in the post colonies is worse than that of
the colonies.
W. W. Rostow, on the other hand, authored
the five (5) stages every society must pass
through in order to attain development, a
submission that reveals that economies, like
humans, grows from PRIMITIVITY to
MODERNISATION. This submission is akin to
that of the founder of Sociology, August
Comte, whose "classical positivity" divulged
how the human mind developed from the
pristine/primitive to the positive/scientific
era. Another French Sociologist, Emile
Durkheim, used his distinction between a
mechanic and organic society to drive home
the point that the human society is DYNAMIC.
MODERNISATION THEORY holds that
progressive economies are so called
because of the state of their economies with
respect to GNP, employment, science and
technology, and education.
Economies that have clambered up the
echelons of economic growth (according to
Rostow) fare better than their counterparts
that remain below. The first three stages
each economy must work hard to surmount
are (1) the primitive stage (2) pre-conditions
for take-off (3) take-off. African economies, I
dare say, have a long way to go. The 4th
stage, Stage of Maturity, is for economies
that are classified as FIRST WORLD/CORE/
DEVELOPED economies.
The dependency theorists who claim that
the African problem is exogenous (caused
by the West) are wrong, since they hinge it
on IMPERIALISM/COLONIALISM. Africa is not
the only continent with countries that were
colonised. The United States of America was
a colony of Britain for years. Are there still
vestiges of colonialism in the US? Has the US
not overtaken Britain in all the indices
spelled out by the modernisation theorists
that engender development? Africa must
look inward for the cause of and solution to
Africa's problem.
We should note that the countries in the
Iberian Peninsula, Spain and Portugal,
founded the New World - South America.
Yes, Africans were the ones being shipped
as slaves to the New World. The black man,
his blackness notwithstanding, is
responsible for the existence of the
continent we refer to as South America
today. It means we have been in existence
for many years, albeit with SERVILE
MENTALITY. When will Africa grow? When? It
appears we are in dire need of RE-
COLONISATION. Donald Trump may not be
entirely wrong, after all.
Walter Rodney and other dependency
theorists are wrong. Colonialism and
imperialism do not keep colonies tied to the
socio-economic, religious, and political
apron strings of the coloniser. I disagree. I
think the modernisation theorists, who
based growth of economies on the indices
mentioned supra (above), are spot on. Let us
survey Africa, our own continent, using the
modernisation theory scale.
WHERE IS AFRICA ON THE MODERNISATION
THEORY SCALE?
Rostow talked about the 1) primitive 2) pre-
conditions for takeoff 3) takeoff 4) maturity
5) period of mass production as the five
stages every society that is desirous for
economic growth must traverse. Countries
are rated as FIRST WORLD (NATO and OECD),
SECOND WORLD (vietnam, Cuba, Poland,
Kazakhstan) and THIRD WORLD (Africa and
some countries that are not ideologically n-
sync with the West).
NATO means North Atlantic Treaty
Organizations and refers to the EU, while
OECD means Organization for Cooperation
and Development. OECD is a larger
organization that comprises the EU, US, and
several other nations all of which are called
the Western World. The strong economies in
them make them developed nations, and
you must note that most of them were
COLONIES years ago. Africa must stop hiding
under colonialism. The First World nations
are also called Highly Industrialized
Countries (HIC) due to the preponderance of
indigenous industries in them. On the
modernisation scale, these countries occupy
the transitory stage between takeoff and
maturity. There are those that have attained
the maturity stage. Some countries have
been able to move up the scale, albeit not
completely e.g. China. China, for some of us,
is a first world country, but we know that
the ideology of the Western World will
continue to check them. It is noteworthy
that the requisite indices adduced by
Rostow are the determinants of impartial
assessments. The first world countries are
referred to as the CORE countries.
Third World countries are also called THE
PERIPHERY, or UNDERDEVELOPED countries,
and are characterised by the following:
1) Low GDP and GNP
2) High cost of living that leads to Low
Standard of Living
3) High Death Rate
4) Uemployment
5) Crude production method (lack of
industries)
6) Widespread poverty etc.
Some countries that are treated as Third
World are only so seen due to their
ideological independence from the West.
Africa sits comfortably as a third world, with
no vision to stem the ugly tide. The African
problem is not reduceable to colour, since
black men who have done global exploits
abound. What then is the African challenge?
The dependency theory blames it on
colonialism, but the chink on the wall of that
assertion has been exhumed. We have seen
that colonial experience is not peculiar to
Africa. Some people say the DURATION OF
THE COLONIAL MASTER is responsible for our
problem, but fail to see that Ethiopia was
colonized for just five (5) years: 1936-1941,
but is the LEAST DEVELOPED country in Africa.
It is, thus, indubitable that neither
colonialism/imperialism nor duration of
same is the problem. What then is the cause
of the African peculiarity? Colour is not the
issue, for the aboriginal Egyptians prior to
the conquest of Alexander the Great of
Babylon, were black people. (Read the
"Larceny in Egypt" chapter 2 in AFRICAN
PHILOSOPHY by Nwigwe and Emedolu) Some
of us know the true story about the
transformation of Egypt, the first developed
country in the world. Stories abound that
great historians like Herodotus, great
thinkers like Thales, Anaximenes,
Pythagoras, Aristotle, Plato etc all passed
through the tutelage of black Egyptians
whose works disappeared after the
conquest. The Egyptian mysticism and the
pyramids were second to none in the world.
The glory of Egypt has thinned out in
antiquity due to lack of documentation. This
is a serious problem in Africa - oral tradition
that makes things disappear when the
sages die.
The black man, it has been proved, is not
devoid of natural abilities, for the original
black Egyptians civilised the world. The
white man is not superior to us because of
his colour. He gets things done. Yes, therein
lies the difference. The white man is not
Homo Intellectus because of his colour. The
white racist calls the black man Homo
Erectus, which means we are just humans
because we can walk upright. As offensive
as that racial declassification is, is Africa not
confirming it? When will the black man
begin to get things done? Those who blame
the West for our peculiar problem should tell
us how Africans fared before the arrival of
the white man. Maybe we should answer to
the following posers:
1)Who were we before imperialism/
colonialism? Identity issue. Hunters and
gatherers?
2) Were we the only ones colonized?
3) Have other colonies not moved up the
economy growth scale?
4) Are we still being colonized?
5) Did we not fare better under the colonial
masters?
6) Would we have known the values of our
natural resources but for the colonial
masters?
Posers (5) and (6) prove that Africa gained a
lot from colonialism, but have failed to make
jusicious use of the lessons learned. Africa's
problem is BAD LEADERSHIP. Africa is home
to very selfish and corrupt men and women
whose penchant for corrupt acts is better
imagined. The GNP of nations in Africa is the
worst in the world. This is disturbing,
knowing that we are home to NATURAL
RESOURCES in aplenty. We are the richest in
natural resources, yet the poorest in the
world. Is that not a shameful irony? Mobutu
Sese Seko (Zaire) , Sani Abacha (Nigeria),
Yoweri Museveni (Uganda) Paul Kagame
(Rwanda), Isaias Afwerki (Eritrea), Meles
Zenawi (Ethiopia), Omar Bongo (Gabon) and
Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe) are some
African leaders that have looted their
national coffers dry and sent their monies
outside. Is it not shocking that Abacha of
Nigeria stashed billions of dollars that
exceeded our national debt in foreign
accounts for himself? The cannibal, Mobutu
Sese Seko embezzled over 10 billion dollars
outside the shores of Nigeria.
According to R. Baker in a news magazine,
our own Sani Abacha as Head of State in the
1990s, ordered the CBN (our central bank)
to transfer the sum of fifteen million dollars
($15000,000) every day to his swiss
account. Do you know what that means? It
means $465m left Nigeria every month. Go
ahead to compute how much money left our
coffers every year. Over 100 banks
worldwide were in charge of Abacha's
loots! Crazy! Damn crazy! May God forgive
these looters.
Today, it has been uncovered that African
politicians hold somewhere between US
$700 and $800 billion in offshore accounts
and outside the continent. An estimated
$274 billion leaves Sub-Saharan Africa for
other countries. These huge amounts of
money embezzled by African leaders exceed
their national debt. Do you see why debts
are not easily cancelled? The Lootocrats in
Africa are the ones keeping our continent
backward. You can see why the lootocrats in
Nigeria don't want us to have Biafra.
Yes, secession of Biafrans from the
LOOTOCRATIC Nigeria will lessen the purse of
the looters. Nigeria and other African
nations do not practise democracy. What we
have is a DEMOCRATISED LOOTOCRACY. My
own governor, I have been duly informed by
his own brothers, is busy acquiring
properties in and out of the state and
nation. I have been shown a lot of
properties he has acquired in just two years.
We all know why they are scared of Biafra.
Biafra will take Nigeria and Africa out of the
woods. Embezzlement is a soft word that
makes stealing a conventional thing.
The looter is no different than a thief and
will be treated as such in Biafra Republic.
There will be no such distinction between
the THIEVING POLITICIAN and an ARMED
ROBBER, for the MANDATE of the people is
what the looter uses as arms. Biafra will
westernize Africa.
Please note that this work is the first in the
series. The next episode shall do justice to
the Gross National Product of several African
nations. You will see that even in countries
where gold is a natural resource, poverty
sits comfortably. You have seen what
Abacha looted. You have seen the amount of
money that leaves Sub-Saharan Africa. What
you have not seen is how much Osinbajo,
Buhari (living-dead), Obasanjo, Abdusalami,
Amaechi, Odili, Obiano, Wike, Atiku, IBB,
Senators, other governors, other presidents
in Africa, political appointees, emirs, kings,
Sultan etc all over Africa have looted and are
still looting. Africa is a household of
lootocrats. Every politician in Nigeria is
driven by the lootocratic spirit. It is the truth
we must begin to tell ourselves. A sustained
African and Nigerian politics rejuvenates our
national and continental underdevelopment.
Things will get worse as long as Nigeria
remains loosely ONE.
The template is too corrupt for any form of
economic growth. Nigeria and Africa are far
away from Rostow's takeoff stage. As a
matter of fact, recent events in Nigeria show
that we are on our way back to the
PRIMITIVE/TRADITIONAL stage. Ours is a
receding economy, and Biafrans, those
blessed with the needed technology to
MODERNISE Africa, have said they will not
take this plunge with Nigeria. Biafra is the
remedy for this speedily receding enclave
called Nigeria. Watch out for parts 2 and 3.
Nigeria, we divorce thee.
Biafra, we hail thee.

Moving or copying all these rare information(yorubas achievements) into our archives and/or yorubas/SW forums, e.g yorubaparapo.. for future reference will go a long way in spreading this gospel of truth. Most especially,among out youths who's been made to believed ibojews lies for decades-- I believe will cure those ignorant yorubas,youths. Trust me, this will indeed go a looooooong way in spreading the gospel of these facts hence continuously destroy decades of ipodsjews lies that SW people are lazy and/or their daily chorus of "we've bought lagos yoruba bla bla.. grin

This should be done as a matter of urgency,and believe me you it will spread like fire, enlighten the world and spread the truth like tornado cheesy . You know information Is power? Guys,brothers, daddy's do this for yoruba as nation,people,and for yah generation unborn.
