The Origin Of Arochukwu, Ohofia, Abam And Ututu People Of Abia State by Atigba: 9:56pm On Jul 29, 2020 |
The Origin of Arochukwu, Ohofia, Abam, Ututu etc. - by Prof. J. Akuma-Kalu Njoku. Around 16 century, the southern part of Igboland was originately inhabited by Oru people before some Igbos in the Northern part migrated to join Oru due to population pressure and depletion of quality of farmland. *Note the Oru people who were the aborigines of The land stem from Igodomigodo.* In addition to southward migration, another group of migrants, the Mben - Owan group, migrated from Igodomigodo/Edo State eastward across the Niger River and passed through Oru moving further eastward until they came to a place they called Be Ndi (Bende) Igbo, meaning Igbo territory. Some of the names of these immigrants who migrated from Igodomigodo and populated Bende were; Alayi, Igbere, Nkalu Itu, Abam, Ohofia, Ututu and Arochukwu. These Igodomigodo immigrants aggressively displaced the original Anang and ibibio inhabitants of the area and claimed their forest and lands. The case of of Abam, Ohofia and Ututu was particularly poignant because of the brutal way they went about forest and land acquisitions. They faughtand virtually wiped out or displaced the aborigines. Thus, whereas the Igbo to Oru migration and settlement pattern were marked by pacts of mutual coexistence with the aborigines of Oru, the Mben - Owan trail to Bende was marked with incidences of displacement and subjugation. J. Akuma-Kalu is an Associate professor of Folklore and Ethnomusicology in the Department of Folklore Studies and Anthopology at Western Kentucky University.

He should stop deceiving uneducated Igbos about Jewish ancestry. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Atigba: There is just one question that renders everything you wrote to be nonsense. Why would Edo people migrate to present day Igbo land and give the area Igbo names? Edo people migrated to present day Bende and gave the place an Igbo name "be ndi Igbo"? Do Edo people speak Igbo? I know that Igbanke people of Edo state speak Igbo but they are Ika-Igbo people who were carved into Edo state rather than with their Ika kith and kin in Delta state. This is the same nonsense people say about the Ikwerre people of Rivers State, that they are Bini migrants who came to present day Rivers state, gave their villages Igbo names(a language they could not have known), dropped their Bini surnames and language and adopted Igbo ones. How can anyone be stupid enough to believe such a story? Which migrant will move somewhere and the first thing he does is to call the place a name in a language he does not speak? There is way too much stupidity on earth 24 Likes 1 Share |

Atigba: People write about these migration as if it was done in the today's society where there are express roads and measured amount of civilization. Even as recently as when the British were writing treaties after treaties in Igbo land, it was very difficult to go from Amaraku to Owerri. Most of all these silly migrations were mere figment of author's imagination. 1 Like |

Atigba: This is one of the idiotic conjectures I ever read on this forum. Where was the migration point of the people of Igodomigodo, including Bini? The Igbo people, Igbo being derived from Gboo or Ndi gboo which means ancient people or original did not migrate from anywhere, There is not other place you can see people like Igbo people in world except in Nigeria. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Dedetwo: Idu people are indegenous citizens of Igodomigodo, they are not immigrant. Binis migrated to Igodomigodo through Prince Orominyan of Ife in 12 century A.D. Some people in the east migrated from Igodomigodo, did you see me refered to them as Igbo? No. Oru people, Oguta people, Onitcha Ado na Idu, Eze Enugu, Arochukwu, Ohofia, Abam, Ututu, etc. They are our children, though they are presently living in the south east and are addressed as Igbo. 5 Likes |

![]() Tell this to the birds! This is why they removed history so they can teach the upcoming folks whatever nonsesne that suits their demented souls. So this Dude was paid to twist the narrative. One question for him, so the igbos migrated and developed instant amnesia, that they forgot about every fiber of culture that would relate them to Edo state huh? From language to tradition to dance, to food to everything? As in, they migrated from Edo state and jumped the tick forest of Anambra and IMO to start life from. Far away bende? Does this dude know how Many igbo tribed from old bende that migrated towards IMO., Abia, and Anambra in that same 15th century? Edo state is actually lucky it didn't cross parts with those aggressive old bende rascals @ 16th century, they would hv subdued and sold them off as slaves like they did to many unfortunate people. |

I can't stop laughing ![]() The mission is simple " igbos don't care about history but their kids are becoming highly educated and are beginning to ask questions so confuse them with imaginary history that links individual clans to neighboring ethnic groups, at the end you'll have a fragmented state which will eventually be absorbed by other ethnic groups and the ethnicity will cease to exist" it worked on ikwerre and western igbo land where an Edo man Dennis "Osadebay" imposed his own family's history on the entire western igbos and called them anioma. Wike of rivers state is doing the same in rivers state. So umu nnem we are in historical war.
