All ethnic groups in southern Nigeria are related but our stupidity won't let us see it!

We are one big family

Yes o

We share ancestral relation tru Adam and Eve

Another thread aimed at causing Igbo hate..Na una go taya

Never, we Edo can never ever be related to the Igbos. I don’t hate them , but we don’t have anything in common.

All Nigerian tribes except Fulani and the C. River/ Akwa complex are Nok civilization derived ethnic groups.

Igbos and Bini are brothers
Very close
I will advise the rest of Nigerians to start seeing Benins as part of BIAFRA

All southern Nigerian tribes and languages are related and re from the Niger congo language and ethnic group, but tribalism split us.

Related to igbos? Ew no. Our royal blood will be stain.

I think you wanted to say people that claim benin origin once lived in benin kingdom

What's so great about being Bini? Or is this more of that puffed up pride, so frequently displayed by the emotionally driven.

igbo is older than nok

No but there are some ethic GPS in edo that are related to Igbo like esan people and Igboakiri called Igbanke people....they migrated from from Igbo land.

There's a village in Igueben called Idumunoka that traces their origin to Awka, the present day capital of Anambra State.

The Edo's migrated from a place known as Igodo within the the Ancient Eri Kingdom - Also known as the The Iduu Eri Kingdom. The Iduu Ezeora dynasty is the the oldest civilization in Africa with the seat of power located at Enugwu Aguleri.

Edo is the corruption of the word iduu. Till date, the edo royal house use the term iduu in their nomenclature ( example are the edo camps in Lagos such as Idu-mota, Idu-magbo e.t.c).
The Edo royal house still visits Igodo a place in Enugwu aguleri for traditional rites till date

I'm willing to bet it was originally named Idu Umu Oka. Interesting.

Ika folks be like "we are not Igbos we're Edo"
Meanwhile every one down south know them to be igbos..it beat me imagination

Same with ikwere peps and other aniomas

Link between Benin and Igbo

Most if not all southern Nigerian ethnic groups originate from what we call Igbo land. This is confirmed by Igbo being the oldest of the Kwa languages, the fundamentals of the spiritual practices being explicitly Igbo origin (Divination in Edo is Afa Ominigbo, market days Eken Oyen Ukwo Aho from Eke Orie Nkwo Afor). The Oba of Bini sees himself as a 'renter' who must, every year 'buy' the land from the priests of the Uwen cult. If you know about Uwa in igbo cosmology, you'll understand what's happening in this exchange.

At the same time Benin was a city filled with people from all over the region and beyond. It was a multilingual city. According to the Portugese when you reached it's gates you were not allowed in until the found a person that spoke your language to guide you. People from all over Igbo land lived in the City of Bini as people from all over live in the city of Lagos now, for example.


Then there's the fact that Bini is an empire. Many of the Igbos that say they 'came from benin' were subjects to an EMPIRE. Unfortunately Nigerians don't understand English to justify their passion for it and so we regularly destroy ourselves from ignorance of the language.

As an EMPIRE Benin controlled NATIONS and ETHNICITIES beyond it's own. Most of the people under the rule of the Oba of Benin were not Bini as most of the people under the rule of the British Empire were not British.

There were many Igbo NATIONS that had, at one point in their history of another, fallen under the control of the Oba's empire. This did not make them 'edo' or 'from Benin, but as history is told, in english, by people that don't understand english or history, 'we were subjects of the Oba' becomes 'we migrated from Benin'.


As someone already said, all of the Southern Nigeria, we are the same people. It is only a stark, unrepentant devotion to ignorance that allows us to continue wallowing as we do. I grew up in America and I grew up respecting all of these ethnic groups as separate, and as Nigerians tried to convince me, radically different. But I will here Igala or hear Bini and 25-50% of the languages words overlap with Igbo. I can see this with my rudimentary level Igbo. I then turn around and look at Nigeria and wonder why I can see this from all the way over there and someone born and raised in Nigeria will go to Esan from Onitsha and think he's in an exotic land.

Are you guys not tired of trying to drag every kingdom into the Igbo folk? One day Una go say South Sudan na Igbo. Algeria na Igbo. Even Saudi Arabia na Igbo. Abeg dey your dey.

Well, Onisha throne is Benin throne

Wow I never knew all these before but why are most of edo people still joining the afonjas to hate on the igbos?

Igbos lie a lot when it comes to historical matters. Don’t believe them. Seems they are no longer claiming to be Jews. Now it is Benin Kingdom they want to claim.

IGBO HAVE NO ANCESTRAL LINK WITH BENIN.


IGBO RELATIONSHIP WAS WITH IDU KINGDOM, LOCATED IN PRESENT DAY BENIN.

Maybe there is. Benin warriors might have enslaved Igbos several centuries ago.

Igbos claim everyone hates them. Ikweres hate Igbos, Ijaws hate Igbos. Itshekiris hate Igbos. Kalabaris hate Igbos. Benin's hate Igbos. Yorubas hate Igbos. Efiks hate Igbos. Ibiobios hate Igbos. Igalas hate Igbos. TIV's hate Igbos. Fulanis hate Igbos. Hausa's hate Igbos. Kanuris hate Igbos.

Even Igbos hate Igbos. Abians hate Ebonyians. Anambrarians hate Ebonyi and.

Please stop making fool out of yourself by posting junks. The clowns you claimed they founded Onicha do not even know the connotation of the word, Onicha.
