Wow!!!

Congratulations.

I think you guys should reach out to them and put houses in order.

They are your people and must be reached out to.

His forebears reigned as Obi/Eze but he is now reigning as OBA after being crowned as Eze ogba in 1970.
Nigerian civil war,I hail o

Not true, he is one of the longest serving but not the longest serving monarch. HRM Sikiru Adetona(Awujale of Ijebu-Ode) remains the longest serving king.

You will soon start hearing that europeans trace their roots to bini kingdom. There will be an oba of london.

Chai! This man has disgraced his forefathers.

These guys should actually do a dna test, not just read a random book and say that you trace your roots to bini, so that they can end their identity crisis.

Mr I didn't see any crisis here. DNA test for what?

Can't you read the simple message again

Why not go and drag them to do DNA test so that you can be satisfied.

I think you need DNA also on inferiority complex and disturbing other over what they choose and decide too be.

You need DNA + RNA.

If you want to see confuse set of tribe in Nigeria, go to Niger Delta. They have serious cases of an identity crisis.

Some Rivers rulers do not stay in their palaces prefering to reside in Port Harcourt.

That's why I said you guys needs reach out to them.
More like your people scattered in various places.
A plan must be initiated to bring them back.

Juliusmalema:

Yea.
But it seemed nobody bothered about his genealogy until after the civil war in 1970

The issue here is about kingship and not what buhari signed.

Bros calm down oh. Nobody is attaching anyone here. They should do dna test so that we can know which is which. The op said that this man traces his roots to bini, did the oba say that himself? Dna test does not lie. They should bring at least 1000 subjects for testing so that we can end this useless debate for once. Are you scared of dna test? I have seen many ikwerre claiming bini for strange reasons. Some ikwerres will even be questioning their origin because of some strange unverifiable story they saw online. They are very confused. Some say they are igbos, some say that they are distinct, some say they are bini. ah ah!
I see no reason to attach ikwerre. What will we gain if ikwerres are igbos? Aren't these the same people that where rushing to ohanaeze ndigbo when they felt they where being marginalized in the old rivers state.

I attended same secondary school with three of his children. I remember during Dr Peter Odili's tenure when the Oba attended the school inter-house sport, omo see convoy like that of a governor, with more than 10 chiefs in his Entourage.

I think you mistaken something or you didn't read well

The Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni people found within the northern axis of Rivers State are a distinct tribe of the Edoid stock with trace from the ancient Bini kingdom.

First submission about their histroty.

The Ogbas pays allegiance to Benin kingdom.

They owe allegiance to bini and not to Igbo as you are driving.

In simple terms they are not Igbos and have nothing too do with ndigbo.

The post is clear.

This is the typical madness we are talking about. Some right from his great grand father, diwn to him, have Igbo names.

But they say his title makes Bini?

Testing for what exactly?

like I said you need the test not them to cure inferiority complex.

You want to test people because they said that they ain't part of you...

Imagine such inferior thinking that you now want to decide who they are.

They are what they totally agree to be.

Soneones name is Chukwumela Nnam Obi and sits on the Eze Ogba throne? Yet they he is from Bini?

Ok

Ask him to bear bini names or I will sue him to court for bearing those Igbo names.

Go and sleep. Your head is paining you. Did you even read my comment? Mumu!

Sikay19:

Not true, he is one of the longest serving but not the longest serving monarch. HRM Sikiru Adetona(Awujale of Ijebu-Ode) remains the longest serving king.

Can't you read?

is Oba sikiru whether na sekira from Rivers state?

survivor10:

Sue him immediately and stop saying “or I will”

Goo ahead, nobody is holding u.

Coneheadyutes:

Reverse is the case because if your head is intact and not feeling inferior, you won't come here and be asking people to do dna because they decided to be what they what to be and you are in pain.


They are binis and that's their origin.

My lost Uncle

Ok, but why don't they want to do dna test to end their identity crisis? Does dna test kill? Not all of them believe they are bini, and not all of them believe that they are igbos.

Why are you attacking me as if I care about these people, that I didn't even know existed until nairaland?

If oil or civil war is the reason why they deny their own, then it's best we distance ourselves from them.

My advice for these guys is to go for dna test...

They all belived they are from Bini and none ever believed they are igbo.

It is you that is a total stranger that is disturbed by their decision which shouldn't be.

why are you so disturbed that they trace their root and hold allegiance to bini?


Do you benefit anything special from them?

or is their condition better than yours?
