rabzy: Don’t pay attention to what he’s saying there. I’ve never denied the Benin influence on my people; I even stated that they migrated from the Benin Kingdom to where they are now but they have always been Igbo people. 1 Like |

Ngozi123:Dont quote me out of content. I never he is bini. I said Edo state under the Benin Empire. Now, what you have done, isn't it better than just jumping into conclusions and assuming that anyone who have a contrary opinion hates igbos. Just explain further. Simple Okay. Let me accept this. |

TheKingIsHere: You claimed that he was a Benin man, which he clearly was not. Do they observe the four Igbo market days in Benin? He did not come from present day Edo State. A part from Igbanke, which Igbo communities are present in Edo State? Pray tell... 1 Like |

Ngozi123: Please show me where I stated that he is a Bini man because I recall saying that he is from estako in Edo state under the Benin Empire/kingdom....Take note, Edo state has other tribes apart from bini. |

TheKingIsHere: I know this but they all, barring Igbanke, are grouped in the Edoid language group, no? He is not from etsako, he claimed that he is from esseke. If the two were the same then wouldn’t etsako people be speaking Igbo and practicing Igbo traditions, as Equiano clearly did? 3 Likes |

giftq: Don’t mind them. I saw one Nigerian poster yesterday claiming that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Ibe Kachikwu were from the South-East just so that he could claim that GEJ was marginalising the South-West in terms of appointments. That was when I learnt that these people have no shame... 3 Likes |

Leez: Correction please, there's no such thing as minority Igbo or main Igbo. That is a discriminatory remark. Those are Igbo names. Cheers. PS: Every race has at some point been under influence of another. The Bini you know today was also at some point under the influence of the Nri Kingdom at its zenith likewise some parts of the Nri Kingdom being under the influence of the Bini Empire. Historically, at least when considering documented history of ancient "Nigerian kingdoms" the Nri Kingdom had been noted to be the oldest. |

Pigsandidiots: Edo Warrior Kingdom Opposed Atlantic Slave Trade http://www.edoworld.net/Edo_Warrior_Kingdom_Opposed_Atlantic_Slave_Trade.html I think people need to really research into the transatlantic slave trade before making assumptions. The rumor that Olaudah Ikwuano was from Bini is as fallacious as it can get, with no factual evidence or proof. 4 Likes |
