No. 1 is Ika dressing, also adopted by Esans. And Igbo is too big and historic to be modelling things after tiny edo. Coral beads are also owned by Igbos, only that we don't overuse it. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

fr3do: Esans didn't adopt anything from Ika so just stop your ignorant claims. And I don't consider the Igbo coral beads to be similar to Edo.. there's always a weak,insecure group of Igbos ruining cultural threads. It's getting real annoying. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Some people are spewing trash about Igbos borrowing Edo culture. What's the meaning of that?? I will point at some issues since i don't have enough time here. Firstly, no African owns the coral beads. Coral beads are imported not manufactured in pre colonial 'Nigeria'. That being said,you find all sorts of people using the coral beads from Igbo to Yoruba to Edo to Ijaw to the Efiks. These groups have different ways of wearing the coral beads. Secondly, the oldest beads in West Africa have only been found in Igboland and Mali. I hope am correcting some fallacies here. 7 Likes 1 Share |

tonychristopher: Au contraire, I am not disgracing myself because you are the one who seem not to harness the semantic import of my statements. I never said Ikwerres are Igbos or not. I said Ikwerre is an Igboid group whose "Igboness" is contested by its people and the larger Igbo nation. They are more like the Isoko who proclaim themselves different from Urhobo whereas some perceive them to be the same. I have not made a personal statement on the matter so telling me that I am disgracing myself is a careless statement. 1 Like |

ezeagu: would you also say the same of the igbos in the western and northern axis without the Nri parahenalia in their regalia ? i know you have a point though, its just that i find that your statement rather hasty and almost fallacious given the fact that the igbos in the southern axis could share similarities with other ethnic groups they co exist with side by side, and hasty in the sense thatyou jumped the whole western and northern axis(places more similar in their prerogatives and royal rights with the edo/benin groups) to the southern igbos..... That they have almost same emblems in their beads doesnt warrant such conclusive and seemingly farce statement. 1 Like 1 Share |

Secondly, no Igbo group is modelled after the Edo nation. What we have are regional kingships and royalty which do not cover the entire igboland. That being said,igbo people are not subject to any King. Even saying that Edo planted all pre colonial igbo kings is an overexaggeration. We have to understand that both Igbo, Yoruba and Edo were one people some 2,000yrs ago, the concept of kingship is not entirely alien to Igbos but the way they are set up,they would rather be kings unto themselves. Other than that, Edo kingdom at its prime set up benin frontiers and vassals in Igboland. The other modern igbo kings are colonial imports. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Ihuomadinihu: No man's opinion is trash! In intellectual discourse, contested facts and opinions are meta-analysed and not labelled as trash! Whether one agrees to it or not, Edo influenced Igbo culture in a whole lot of way and vice versa. This is a sociological fact of cultural neighbourliness and hegemony. So be careful of how you label what you dont agree with. Even what you have just written is quite vindictive and not well researched on the grounds that it is the Edos and particularly an Oba of Benin that started the import of coral beads to pre-colonial Nigeria. So in trying to correct a "fallacy", you spewed some bunkums. I still wont label what you wrote as a trash because you made some useful points! That is how scholarship and intellectual discourses are handled. 1 Like |

tonychristopher: When did I say Delta is a tribe?? If I can list all the tribes in Nigeria then is it Delta, my own state, that I'd say is a tribe? It erks me that your intellectual capacity is extremely misdirected and you have a penchant for uncouth statements. If you were so good in research, anthropology, sociology and history, then you'd engage me in an intellectual battle and not make unguarded comments as you have been doing so far. Once again, do not repeat that statement about mockery! You know nothing of me as I of you. Let's leave it at that. 1 Like |

tonychristopher: Nri Pyramids and all about old Igbo culture has NOTHING to do with the cultural and political hegemony of some Igbo clans by Edo. This is a proven sociological theory. In most cases, it occurs as acculturation when an ethnic group with a stronger hegemonic influence is close to other groups. If acculturation doesn't occur, some adaptations are made. Edos adapted to their neighbours, mostly the Yoruba as Igbos also adapted to the Ibibios and the Edos. This has nothing to do with the age of Nri or its pyramids. |

Thirdly, Igbo women dress like Igbos not Edo. All Southern Nigerian groups tie the wrapper either single or double as the case may be. This guy spread these assumptions and personal history should quit and stop shading igbos. Borrowed from Edo my foot. If you reach back into history, colonial historians will tell you that Edo and Igbo were alike because the white men saw clear similarities between them. Enough of this trash! 2 Likes |
