Ibos," the timid people of Nigeria. I remember many of them saying they would burn down Nigeria if Tinubu is made the president . On the day of declaration, they were hiding under their beds cheesy cheesy grin. All eyes on judiciary,as turned to all eyes on Chicago. Mumu people. I wonder the crime they committed that God refuses to forgive them. They keeps on labouring in vains. Thank God for putting them under the Yorubas. From now till eternity they will continue to be under the Yorubas. Any attempt to overstepped where we placed them will always incure serious consequences.

VEHINTOLAR:


Gibberish;the most imbecilic response I have ever had to read on NL ! You have no issue with Yoruba yet, you had to mention Ilorin and made some senseless postulations in your terribly muddled up craps,right ? I knew it,you were scared of facing your Bini tormentors and that was why you had to involve Yoruba in your stupid narrative as a diversionary tactic ! Dead on arrival,kiddo !

Now,let me remind you again,in case the little whitish substance you called brain in your flat head has malfunctioned as expected,the Op's point is that : AGBOR PROPLE ARE NOT IGBO ! That is what you're expected to dispute with verifiable historical facts and not trying to make it Yoruba issues. The thread has nothing to do with Yoruba,so don't involve Yoruba in it; it's cowardly,Omo ibo ! How can you say you don't have issue with Bini people when someone is telling you that Agbor people,that you ibos have made us to believe are ibos too,are actually rooted in Bini tribe ?

Coward,dispute Op's claims now or you shut up your faecal smelly mouth for ever !

VEHINTOLAR:


Lol,are you scared of facing your Bini tormentors such that you have to find a way of involving the Yoruba in this ? Come on,leave Yoruba out of this and dispute the Op's claims with verifiable evidences/counterclaims ! The Op is not a Yorubaman,so face your nemesis squarly ! The point here,according to the Op,is that Agbor people are not IGBO but from the Edoid tribe. That's what you need to dispute; don't run away from your battle by trying to involve Yoruba in this. It is your battle,face it ,Omo ibo !

You will not find a single person of known Agbor true blood that will find a single fault with this historic narrative. All the negativeness will come from predictable known headless actors whose motives have always been sinister.

History/Origin of Agbor

Agbor is the biggest and the most cosmopolitan city of the lka nation. The historic origin of Agbor kingdom as we stated earlier has different angles. Some writers trace the origin of Agbor to the reign of Oba Ewedo of Benin. According to this perspective - the Oba had twin sons named Edo and Ogugunagbon. Both were subjected to a kind of lucky dip in order to pick a successor to Oba Ewedo. Ogugunagbon was unlucky to choose the wrong box and had to leave Benin with throng of his supporters to a new location leading to his founding of Agbor. However, Prince Adams Gbenoba in his book "The History and Culture of Agbor (Agbon) Kingdom" agrees with the Benin origin but adds another angle:

"Without doubt, beyond myths and legends by way of oral tradition, no accounts can be more authentic than the neutral, historical accounts of colonial travelers, explorers and administrators. Mr. J. Macrae-Simpson on page 5 of his "1935 INTELLIGENCE REPORT ON THE AGBOR CLAN IN THE AGBOR DISTRICT' recorded thus: "Talbet, on page 168 of Volume 1 of Southern Nigeria", quotes an extract from the chronicle of the Dutch historian-traveller Henrik Nyendael, which seems to be a description of the exodus from Benin of the founder of Agbor Clan: "After this barbarity, the King aIso found a third man that stood on his way, who, being universally beloved,was timely warned ...and accordingly took his flight, accompanied by three-fourths of the inhabitants of the town. The King caused the fugitives to be pursued.. Then the fugitives, thoroughly incensed and flushed, came directly to the City, which they plundered and pillaged, sparing no place but the King's Court; after which he returned, but incessantly continued to rob the inhabitants of Great Benin, till at last a peace was concluded ... He lives two or three days' journey from Benin, where he keeps at Agbor as great a Court and State as the King...".Talbet goes on to say that of the two families that left Benin at this time (shortly before Nyandael's visit in 1702), one settled at Agbor while the other went to Obior, another Clan in the Agbor District.

Of the same Obior family came also the ancestors of Onitsha-Mili (the Onitsha Waterside of today). It is a tradition of the Obior people, and indeed of most of the Clans between them and the Niger, and also of Onitsha itself, that their tribe was founded by Chima a refugee from Benin City...The story is that Chima?, when driven from Benin, traveled eastwards towards the Niger, which he eventually crossed, and settled in Onitsha. There he begat nine children, of which eight died, leaving him with a daughter called Owuwu. Believing that the loss of his children was caused by witchcraft, he left Onitsha and returning to Agbor, long existing country, settled at Osarra (present day Ozanogogo- previously called Ozarra- in Agbor Kingdom), where one of the quarters to this day bears the name of his sole remaining child, Owuwu.

Similarly Onyekpeze F. A, a foremost writer of lka history in his book ·An outline of the Culture & Socio-Economic Interest of the Ika Nation emphasizes this trend of the Benin factor in the formation of Agbor: One factor is that the place names of Agbor and Its outlying settlements are Bini words. Another factor which buttresses Agbor claim to Bini origin is that the villages in Agbor Town viz, lghogbe, Olihe, Ogbeisere, Ohumere, Ehaikpen, Ogbesogban and Ogbeiwaise, etc. are a replica of the villages in Benin City. In addition, even the lhogbes of Agbor like the lghogbes of Benin City, claim lfe origin and their ancestors are believed to have accompanied Prince Oromiyan from lfeto Benin to establish the present monarchy.

The Agbor titleship, Uzaman, lhaime, Odlonwere and Ehaivbo, and its system of government are similar to those of Benin. Furthermore, inAgbor's oral tradition, the king of Agborwas popularly known as Ogle Agbon, meaning the ruler of the whole world. The question which arises is, when did the title of the ruler of Agbor change from Ogle to Obi of Agbor? One can therefore acceptthe Bini oral tradition that the rulers of lka now called Obis were Ogies as other rulers or Chiefs or Oba's representatives in Benin Division. It may be that the rulers of lka, especially the ruler of Agbor regarded Ogle as belittling and wanted a more prestigious title, especially after successfully severing political relationship with Benin following the deportation of Oba Ovoramwen in 1898.

Despite these different views Agbor continues to wax stronger with a rich cultural heritage.

IAlisor, Alilehan and Ozanogogo speak Oza language of the edo people and not the lka language.

Government of Agbor

The monarchy rules the Agbor kingdom.The Dein is the king of Agbor kingdom. He is the supreme authority for the whole entire kingdom. Dein was the first ruler of Agbor .He reigned from 1270 to 1307 with his headquarters at Agbor-nta. However, the headquarters of the Agbor Kingdom has moved to different locations for a couple of times in order to maintain a modicum of impregnability and invincibility of the kingdom. The Dein was the commander in chief of the Agbor kingdom. Agbor warriors feared no foe. Their exploits are legendary and they maintained their territories with an iron fist. The Agbor kingdom founded outposts towns far away from the kingdom to protect itself from foreign invasions.

It is not about the numbers but synergy. SE and SS can never be together.

Ojutiti:
Whatever happened to the six geo political zones we currently have

AlexBells:

And how has the rocket bettered the life of the Indian poor?

India has one of the the largest number of poor people in the world.

Misplaced priorities.

Indian president is ceremonial.

The power belongs to the PM which is Modi.

raskymonojendor:

Same stuff happens in India. A Malu Kerala man cannoy become a local council chairman in Punjab or Gujarat. Heck they still discriminate according to caste sef.

We Yoruba moved past this stage a very long time ago. This is why everyone was welcome with open arms until some people start start to see our land as no man's land.
Isn't it ironic that a citizen of Enugu cannot hold any elective office in Anambra?

India biggest challenge was religious differences

But at this time they have been able to manage it thanks to Education
