This Nigga must be high on cheap weed to have averred that the Binis had Igbo slave. His knowledge of history is zero in this regard. The Igbo-Bini relationship can be traced back to Ezechima the great herbalist from Arochukwu whose great healing service was sought by Oba of Bini many numerous years ago. Ezechima became so powerful that after the death of the Oba, many Binis fought for the descendants of Ezechima to ascend the Bini throne and this led to crisis that required the descendants of Ezechima tracing back their ancestral home but before then, most of them had married Bini woman hence the cultural similarities.
Reno should stop spreading falsehood.

You need to know your history!

And so what, even the great british people where slaves to the roman empire .no dey misyan abeg.

Chris525:

Haha! Dreamer. Who did you conquer and took as slaves? What battles did you fight? Did you even have an established monarchial system? When the British came, while the Binis fought and stood firm, didn’t you bend over and took it all?

Or why do you think the catholic culture and priesthood is well rooted in igbos than anywhere else in the south even though they crossed several southern tribes to get to you. You couldn’t resist, after you heard of the fall of your masters - bini throne to the British, you bent over easily. You took it all.

Ikwerre's are lost clans of igbos owned by the bini's as slaves, why will they play to the gallery?

The Royal kings of ikwerre are EZEs and Igwes that is igbo if the ikwerre are not igbos at least their kingship royals should be distinct

Hardfacts234:
We Igbos also have Yoruba ,Benin and itshekiri slaves among us.

We also have Benin and Yoruba related names in our Igboland

akanke79:


Yorubas will come to the aid of Warri,they are our kith and kin.

Dpharisee:
We should change the name of this site to IgboStoryLand, it seems the level of bias against Igbos is astronomical.
The stories that drive traffic here are Igbo related, Nigerians are really intrigued by that beautiful tribe

BKayy:

Oga I like what is happening. Time for us to claim Warri.
He said they took it from Ndigbo, so here we come

jimyjames:

Many aniomas talks about a bini runaway prince slave that called himself EZE chima

kingthreat:


Igbos united? Nnamdi Kanu is in chains while your Dignitaries are going to Oba to eat Obi Cubana's cow meat? Keep arguing about your unity. When minority Benue makes presidency, you will organize yourselves by force.

BKayy:

What ever.
I am about to finish the real history.
Dont know if I should post it here.
You don't get it. Thanks to the white men, most of the Igbo clans now fall under one umbrella unlike before

chrisxxx:

This is where your types are getting it wrong. Ikwerre people are saying that Igbo is Ikwerre and not the other way.
Don't mind the size or your population.
We bear Eze as name. As a title it could be a borrowed [/b]one as one rulers bear Nye we Ali or Eli depending the part of Ikwerre you are.
See tell your kind the is difference between who speaks Igbo and Igboid language. Someone who speaks Igbo is an Igbo person. Someone who speaks Igboid is not necessary an Igbo person but may have got some relationship with Igbo people. ..

Ogbuefi2020:
Benin empire sold mainly yoruba and itshekiri slaves

Chris525:
Even the Itsekiris were under the Bini. Reno is being smart by half for saying the Itsekiri and the Binis. It was actually the Binis.

The Bini empire was the only one in Nigeria the Portuguese and later the British referred to as ‘Great’ in all of their text. Its influence spanned into the south west to present day lagos, ondo & ekiti, beyond the river Niger up to the kalabari and even cross rivers.

Its was for the untainted loyalty of the king in calabar to the Bini throne that he choose to be banished there by the British.

jamesversion:


Your comment is self contradictory.

triplechoice:


The Benins never at any time sold itsekiris as slaves. If you think they did, then tell us the history.

You certainly don't know the strong connection that exist between the Benins and
the itsekiris. The fact that you can't even spell the name of the tribe correctly shows that you don't know anything.

and Igbo people go still dey sharp mouth

jimyjames:


Lol you ikwerre's are just confused suffering from identity crisis ,
whether ikwerre is igbo or igbo is igbo, one thing is certain there are about 20 igbo subgroups out there in South south and South East and ikwerre is just one of them

the ikwerre's claim they migrated from bini why borrow royal titles from the igbos? Why not speak an edoid or bini dialect instead? The Ibibio are more closer to the igbos they were once allies of igbos yet the didn't borrow igbo royal titles, why ikwerre?
