Most of you igbos just ranting on this thread even after one of the greatest igbo man ever lived wrote a book on his own history.

Are you more igbo than Zik?

Or is Zik not an igbo man ?

KwuoteYourFada:


Zik didn't say he's Binin
He only said onicha was under the Benin kingdom not that Onitsha originated from Binis

This less than 20 LGA people eh Una mouth too much

Na so una dey claim Lagos

The truth is Bini kingdom is the most overhyped of anything imagine Una no even get market days of the weeks sef you people have to borrow Igbos Eke Órìè Afọ Ǹkwọ

Both bronze and iron works originated from the hinterlands of ala Igbo

Same Una wey dem Dan fodio win northern edo are majority Moslems


Una too small to dey shake all these yansh abeg

spearman:


Long long ago, Ibos lived West of the Niger river with everyone else. Spearheaded by the Binis who have had an insane abhorrence for cannibalism, a proclamation was made prohibiting the practice i.e. cannibalism. Many tribes refused to give up the practice of cannibalism and so were chased out with ferocity. Most of these tribes were chase into the Congo region but a few of them did not go as far. They were banished to the empty forest East of the Niger. These are the Ibos of today and that is why they remained isolated in that forest for most of their existence.

sotall:


Go back and read the book and stop hallucinating here.

He said his ancestors are from Benin not under Benin.


Instead of you to counter him with valid points you are here shouting as if shouting will change history.

Talking about size, Edo state is bigger than 3 Southeast states put together. I guess you didn't know that before but go and verify.


Edo state is a liberal state and no one forces religion on anyone.

I dont know how that is a problem to you.

I have seen igbos who are muslim too. Religious affiliation is a personal thing.

KwuoteYourFada:


You're clown he said they're from Benin not that they originated from Benin that's why they returned to Onicha just like some other aros that joined the Benin kingdom then some didn't return.

There's a difference there between coming from bini and originating from Bini with due respect
Bigger than 3 east States haha guy are you even listening to your self

You people are too small abeg less tha 20 LGA Una noise full everywhere outside those LGA nobody speaks bini

Una noise too much I say that with all respect to Binis

Edo state is Edo state.

Edo state is Edo state true but are you trying to claim every Edo person as bini people,you guys don’t even understand yourselves,I have many Esan friends

sotall:


Who dont what?

An Edo man born and brought up in Edo state will understand over 80% of what an Esan person says and vice versa.

Its even same for Igbos, not everyone speaks central igbo. Some have a version of igbo language thats distinct from the central one. Its also same with Yoruba. I grew up in Lagos and i understand the Yorubas they speak. But when some Yorubas from the hinterland speak their own version, you can only pick a few words. It doesn't mean its not Yoruba.

And all these talk about Bini....Benin is just a popular term used to describe those who were around the city where the king rules from centuries ago.it was made popular by the whiteman.
In Edo culture or even Language, we dont recognize Bini. Its not even a word. We call ourselves Edo and our language is called Edo. Its not Bini.

The Benin Origin Of Onitsha: By Late President Nnamdi Azikiwe-

The first President of Nigeria. Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Genealogy and Nativity
"Thus, in tracing my paternal lineage, I could say that both parents of my father are direct descendants of Eze Chima. As for me, I can trace my paternal ancestry in this wise: I am the first son of Chukwuemeka, who was the third child and first son of Azikiwe, who was the second son of Molokwu, who was the third son of Ozomaocha, who was the second son of Inosi Onira, who was the fourth son of Dei, the second son of Eze Chima, the founder of Onitsha."

SOURCE - Nnamdi A zikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" P4
"I can trace my maternal ancestry thus: I am the first son of Nwanonaku Rachel Chinwe Ogbenyeanu (Aghadiuno)Azikiwe, who was third daughter of Aghadiuno Ajie, the fifth son of Onowu Agbani, first daughter of Obi Udokwu, the son who descended from five Kings of Onitsha. Five of these rulers of Onitsha were direct lineal descendants of Eze Chima (PRINCE OHIME), who led his warrior adventurers when they left Benin to establish the Onitsha city state in about 1748 AD.

" SOURCE - Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" P5[b] "One day I asked her (grandmother) the meaning of the word 'Onitsha'. She explained that it had historical significance. The terminology meant one who despised another. It is a contraction of two words, Onini to despise, and Ncha meaning others. So that the two words when joined together mean one who despises others. Then I asked her why we despised others. She patted me on the back and told me that it was due to our aristocratic background and tradition. I insisted that she should explain to me the basis of this supercilious social attitude. She told me that we despised others because we descended from the Royal House of Benin and so regarded ourselves as the superiors of other tribes who had no royal blood in their veins, "

"I continued to belabor my grandmother to tell me more of the history and origins of the Onitsha people. She narrated that many many years ago, there lived at Idu (Benin) a great Oba who had many children. Due to a power struggle regarding the right of precedence among princes of the blood and other altercations, there was a civil war in Benin. One day, the supporters of one of the princes insulted and assaulted Queen Asije, the mother of of the Oba of Benin, who was accused of having trespassed on their farmland. Enraged at this evidence of indiscipline and lawlessness, the Oba ordered his war chief and brother, Gbunwala Asije to apprehend and punish the insurgents. In the attempt to penalize them, Chima (OHIME), the ultimate founder of the Onitsha City-State, a Prince of the blood in his own right, led the recalcitrants against his Uncle, Gbunwala. This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N'Idu, "As the great trek from Benin progressed, some did not have the stout heart of the pioneer-warrior, and decided to settle at different places, known today as Onitsha -Ugbo, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha-Mili, Obior, Issele Ukwu, Ossomari, Aboh, etc.[/b]

See who is calling another person tiny...someone from the DOT region.

Niger state is bigger than the whole 5 Southeast states put together. The tribes there dont come out making mouth about size.

creativehubb:
The colonial thieves were so afraid of Benin empire, they quickly came up with Wazobia, when in reality, Benin empire created Onitsha. Long live the great Benin empire.only fools that do not know history will take that wazobia contraption created by the colonial thieves serious. WAZOBIA is a farce, a fake contraption of the British, because they were afraid of ascribing any powers to the great Benin people.

You wanna call it genocide?

Same war your kinsmen declared ?

Remember 1966 coup?

How your kinsmen killed leaders from othet tribes and left only igbos?


Now we know why the North will never forgive you guys.


While our King and our people fought bravely with the British, where were your kinsmen?

Obviously inside bush roaming the forests with monkeys. Its on record we were more civilized than you guys before the whiteman came.

Edo state is Edo state true but are you trying to claim every Edo person as bini people,you guys don’t even understand yourselves,I have many Esan friends

XAUBulls:

Modern Onitsha (i.e., The home town of the Nigerian-American Scientist, Philip Emeagwali) first had an Igala presence before the arrival of the migrants from the Benin Empire. Igalas as you know are classified linguistically as Yoruboid and have mixed ethnic ancestries from Wukari (Jukun), plus a significant Yoruba, Edo, roots, etc, according to a 2017 exclusive interview that the then Attah of Igalaland, HRM Ameh Michael Oboni granted to Sunday Punch newspaper.

The Obi of Onitsha once said clearly in a 2017 Ofala festival documentary I watched that it was the Igala boat people who took his ancestors across the River Niger from the Delta State axis about 500 years ago and that he personally has Edo, Igala, and Ibo ancestry.
This is why there are up to 8 quarters in Onitsha indicating the Igala, Edo, Nri ethnic origins and cultures of the Onitsha folks.

The Benin empire created Onitsha? Really? Try asking anyine from Bini what "Onisha" means and watch them fall flat on their face
