Obalatule: You are mistaken sir, its igbo that should be offshoot of Benin not the other way round, talking about never look east. At the time, the Benin Kingdom was at the height of its military and political power and stretched far into the east and west of modern-day Nigeria. Benin took their military operation to both west and east, that is why most of South south that disagree with igbos can trace their origin to Benin. Now ask yourself this question if Benin was an offshoot of ancient igbo Kingdom (with I vehemently disagree with), what were other clan doing not matching up with them? Are they lazy? Are their IQ not the same with Benin so they retrogressed? 2 Likes |

MinorityOpinion: It is plain idiocy for anybody to paste an obscure crap as bases of his or her facts. Igala did not capture any Igbo land. In fact, most Igala land were overrun by the Fulani Jihadist. Fulani incorporated Igala land into Emirates yet no such thing ever happened to Igbo land or lands beyond Igbo land. Fulani were handed their first defeat by the Akagbe and Igbo warriors at the northern boundaries of Igbo land. Why would Igala land be subjected under Emirate system and their subordinates were not? There was no Benin Oba who even dreamt of military expedition southeast of the village empire. 8 Likes |

Dedetwo: Dishing out lies as usual. All the bolded words are lies, shey you people no dey think before dishing out your unbelievable lies? What is your obsession with Fulani? Are you afraid of them? You are supporting one to be your president over your kinsmen Igala conquered and dominated igbos then became their priest and control them, they introduced Osu to igbo land. Most of it is in that book I quoted, your history is pitiable and pathetic, no wonder you hide it from the world Which war did Fulani and igbo fight, you think Fulani war is like the village invading that igbos call war? You don't stand a chance bro. 1 Like |

MinorityOpinion:Binis where an offshoot of Igbos and continued recieving NRI priests for Earth cleansing and other purposes for hundreds of years The Igbo migrations out of bini where descendants of these original NRI priests and emissaries, they started dispersing from Bini(Iduland) for different reasons and at different points on time It is actually stupid to ask why other clans of Igbos didn't build empires like the Binis, sounds stupid...The Nris where mainly priestly people and never tried to conquer anybody with military might, The Bini has a long standing tradition of not using the head of any Nri Descendant during the yearly igue(igu Aro) festival. 2 Likes |

Obalatule: Thanks Obalatule for reeling out those most Igbo of practices that Benin got from the Igbos (Umu-Nri). I'm already aware of most of them except the EGHO. Let me just expand a little bit on ODUDUWA. English = Them Anambra Igbo = Fa Imo/Abia = Ha Anioma = Wa Bear in mind that these activities were happening across the Niger i.e just beyond ANIOMA. So WA becomes the pronoun. ONYE ODUDU WA = Their leader BINI itself was coined from the Igbo phrase ILO OBI INU, which basically means THE ROAD/WAY OF (BITTER HEARTS)/ANGER. The first Oba of Benin was Oba IWEKA, an Nri titled man. OBA is a title in Nri and it doesn't mean KING. Now the IWEKA appendage will usually be an alias. So obviously he took on an alias that described the inhabitants of Benin (Ilo Obi Inu). Every Igbo man knows the meaning of IWEKA (IWE means ANGER). For some reason the name has been corrupted to EWEKA. The SW almajiris have also muscled into the argument by claiming that Bini is the short form for Ile-Ibunu. All these twisting of history has come about because Nri in its heyday, was a pacifist cultural society. In the past, every Oba of Benin or Attah of Igala must be made an Ozo by Nri priests, as princes before they mount their respective royal stools. I have heard the Isu, Igwekala, Kamalu e.t.c tales in the past by a prof. from Imo state, but I have never heard my people (The Nris) talk about it, and the deep traditionalists in my clan have never mentioned them, so because of that, and the fact the it is hard to prove, I normally do not bring up that issue, as I will not be able to back the tales up with proofs. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. It simply means I cannot back them up with existing evidence. 4 Likes |

Yujin:Igboland is sitting on untapped archaeological artifacts. The problem with Igbo history is our reliant on limited historians known for copy and paste. Almost all Igbo historians from Isichie etc seem to be following the limitations of Onwuejogwu whose historical basis was Nricententric. And this has led to a big lacuna of our true origin, limiting our origin to cock and bull tales. Even Kenneth Dike who was a recognized historian failed in such novel task, even going as far as ceding Igbo outer lands to other ethnic groups. I think it's time this new generation of Igbo historians, rise up and carry out massive findings, in not just the Igbo heartland but also areas such as Kogi, Benue, Kaduna, Igbanke, Bonny etc. and even collab with the SW, Edos and the Jukuns. Many of us would be shocked to what would be revealed about us. 4 Likes |

MinorityOpinion: Ndigbo are not loudmouthed as your forbearers and will never give silly narratives of Igbo people different from what is\are obtained on the ground. Till today, Igala has no inches of Igbo land or any Igbo land is incorporated under Emirates as Igala land does. Even the stools of rulership in Igala land have been Islamized because it was identity mark of Caliphate which conquered all places and placed them under the Emirates. The Caliphate never had a foot hold in places where they did battle with Akagbe and collective Igbo warriors in Idoma and Igala lands. There was no Oba of Benin who wanted to entangle with Agbor talk less large collective of Igbo warriors beyond Agbor. When Yari.ba peeps were driven out of Oyo Ile, the traces of the wounds littered all the over the places including Oshogbo and Ogbomosho. Offa still remains a total and unconditional testament to the doctrine of Sokoto Caliphate. No such sign was even remotely registered in the smallest village in the northern most outskirts of Igbo land. 5 Likes |
