Mabuggi88:
Edo state is the closest South east ally The OYC or whatever they called themselves should apply wisdom in solving this issue diplomatically.
Meanwhile igbanke know their root, no two ways about it. It's just something to put heads together and solve and not these Media bruhaha

this sound strange, I don't think you are correct.

Igbanke is Iboland.

Oba of Benin should not be interfering in their business

Ikaeniyan0:
Keep on beating your chest on nairaland. The 6 monarch remain suspended

the suspended kings are still active ignoring the oba as we speak make we see wetin the oba go do if them born the oba we'll he should put a new enogie

peterincredible:
if them born the oba we'll make him do anyhow u Benin people will learn

He has already suspended Igbanke trado rulers. Now, you do your worst

peterincredible:
then we the anioma's will send the oba back to ife

Where una power dey? You are a conquered people

Irony1:


Oga small small with your lies. Kwara area has always been in the northern Nigeria since regions were created by the British in 1950. Haaa bros take it wast with your lies let God's wrath not visit you.

You sound like you don’t know Azikiwe was already in Politics in 1950 and leader of the NCNC

Please kindly step aside and leave History for those who know it

Ikaeniyan0:
Igbanke is part of Edo land, anybody that feels he or she is an Igbo should leave Edo land.

False. The land belongs to them even before edo state was formed. Well I don't blame you, the Nigerian government did this mess and succeded. But know this; if they leave Edo state, the get caved out of Edo on map. Know this and know peace.

Even though kingship makes less sense nowadays, because the sg and lg, are the new kings and queens. That doesn't mean that one local champion can think they have over reach.


Even at the less responsibility of traditional rulers today, No oba can lord over any igbo civilian not to talk of anybody that, any igbo clan gather and give honor of leadership, even paper work leadership.


Oba of Benin should be remainded that his so called subjects are his fellow edo speaking and cultural people, in his Lga. Igbo people are not under oba of Benin. No local champion can subject indigenous igbos to any form of humiliation and oppression, without .


Igbankes are indigenous to the so called edo state. They are pure Igbos and they have any right like they see fit. They were bullied and due to survival, tried to mask their ethnicity because they were targeted. But all that is over.


The state leadership need to tell the so called oba to respect himself, and let others live. No igbos of igbanke should be subjected to slavery in the 21st century. Igbos at large will not tolerate that pressure.


Igbos are not just in the so called 5 SE states. During the civil war, caging igbos to the 5 SE states was an explored strategy by aboki and sw that worked for those fighting the igbos. Which made the igbos near hostile neighbors change attitude and adjust for survival. Even at that, igbankes have stuck to their own tradition.


Even the eze chime that they are talking about, is it not igbos in those edo and delta areas that told the oba to hire eze chime that they the igbos already knew.


Why didn't the oba change his own title? Is oba not a yoruba title? They want to make the igbos of edo to continue to deny their Igbo blood and spirituality. No igbo king is less than any king.


Igbos in igbanke, need to ignore that local champion parading as king of edo state. Igbos at large don't recognize any unelected local champion. local champion of Benin, cannot canopy any other local area if they don't want that.


An intern at any igbanke palace should respond to the letter from that local champion of Benin, and just say, they will not be responding to useless and childish letters in the future. if the oba of Benin abi na spoilt brat of Benin, wants to respond respectfully, he can respond to those interns, and if the igbanke intern deems it necessary, he can take it up to his superiors before it gets to eze/obi/igwe.



Igbos love peace, and are respectful, but don't take the great igbo tribe for granted. Igbos in igbanke or any indigenous area, shall/must not live with fear or feel like slaves in their own home.

Ikaeniyan0:
Igbanke is part of Edo land, anybody that feels he or she is an Igbo should leave Edo land.

Well, their obis and ezes that have ruled them for centuries, claim Igbo ancestry. Go and get rid of them from their ancestral lands and suffer the consequences.

The oba of bini shouldn't dare Anioma people

Bendeco02:


Oba of Benin have to threat with caution and not to allow himself be used politically.

Igbanke is under a seperate tribe on it's own and not under his kingdom.

If he shows his strength to Igbanke because he sees them as minority then he is making mistake because if they team up with Ika sub tribe, i doubt if Benin are more than Anioma alone.

When we talk about Anioma, Onitsha in Anambra with Ogbaru, Oguta in Imo and Ndoni in Rivers are among. Benin are not more than Eze Chima clan if we are to settle the matter by gra gra

I respect Edo people as a whole, they are good people. But this Benin throne supremacy mentality in this centuary makes no sense. If we are allowed to fight and take over territory by conquest, he stand no chance. I wonder what is giving him pride.

Defunct empire dey give this king pride sha! He can even claim the Akures are his subject just because he conquered in 1818. Nonsense! Small yansh dey shake

PDPdestroyer:
Rare picture of the Igbanke monarchs

Ikaeniyan0:
before the arrival of the British, the land belong to the Benins. The Benins only let their slaves to settle on the land. The Oba of Benin has not overstep his boundary.

The land never belonged to the Bini's, but conquered by the Binis. The people were there before the conquest nah! So, the Bini's are strangers in the land

Christistruth02:


The whole world kuku knows that Igbo have no kings and almost all the few ones you have came from Benin

Acephalous, they call them.

omozu1:

Then you don't know anything about the igbanke and the ika
My dear the igbanke don't understand the ika language they speak different languages.
And the Ika says they are from Benin.
You can ask their king
The people that form the Ika tribe are people that migrated from Benin and Igala and not Ibos you can ask their king

I hope you know 30% of Igbos' are Igalas originally?

I DONT KNOW IF IT IS SPAM BOLT OR ONE SILLY BANNING AND HIDING MY COMMENT HERE.

E be like say una dey 4get who the Binis are?
E go good, if Ijaw and the Igbos, finally wakeup the former Bini berserker warrior spirit

Ikaeniyan0:
IBefore the arrival of the British, igbanke land was part of the Benin kingdom .They were never part of any Igbo republic or kingdom. The Benins let freed Igbo slaves to settle on Benin land does not mean the land does not belong to the Benins.

Funny history.
Their obis and ezes that have ruled them for centuries are telling you that they are Igbos and have never been under Benin empire.

They have also challenged benin to supply the names of the enigies that any oba appointed to rule any Igbanke village

NA JUST SMALL MESSAGE I WAN SEND GIVE AM, UNA DEY HIDE AM, THE OTHER WAY NO GO SWEET AT ALL.


OBA EWU RE, ABI NA EWU ZAMBIA



THE MINORITY LOCAL CHIEFDOM WANT TO DARE A SUPER MAJORITY.




600YEARS NOW, THEY ARE STILL IGBO, DESPITE ALL YOUR ANCESTORS DID TO THEM.

What you are calling Bini Kingdom was nothing but the the take over of peoples lands through war. You can fight and take over someone's lands, it does not mean that the land belongs to you

tunjion:
The Oba is a thief who stole a real throne from the native and indigenous people of that land via war.

He is a fraud and a portugese gun runner and slave raider of all the communities in and around Edo state.

Like he raised the Akure, Ekiti, and Akoko, and conquered their land before he was stopped by Ogedengbe, the Ijesha warlord

In Edo State or Outside Edo,So the State Governor no fit Exercise his Power or Are those Monarch Outside Edo? I don't understand o!

Ikaeniyan0:
There's nothing like Ika division before the arrival of the white man

Ika existed before the arrival of the white man and they were led.by Obis and Ezes. They were not led by Enigies

Ikaeniyan0:
There's nothing like Ika division before the arrival of the white man

Akure, owo, Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos were all under Benin before arrival of white man. Did it stop them from being Yorubas?

Vinnie2000:


I pity Igbanke Pple Sha.

I don't know how Babangida could NOT make them be part of the Ikas in Delta state.

You will see somebody bearing Ngozi and she tells you she is from Edo state.

Edo has all the major tribal names you can think of. In Edo, you have those answering Musa, Muhammad and all form of northern name (Edo North). Same Edo State, you have people answering Ojo, Kunle, Tope and all form of name from the Yoruba land (Edo North-west). Same Edo you have Ngozi, isioma, Ada (Edo South-east). Have you heard about others saying they're not Edo? Or claiming to be Edo Hausa or Edo Yoruba?

Only some set of people claiming they're Edo-igbo, Delta-igbo, Port Harcourt-igbo. Stay one place. You can't be from two states!!!!!

SmartyPants:


You never said this before the elections though! But this is good...shout it louder so foolish Edo youths can hear you very well.

Oga you be minority, go and sit down

You are very correct.

There are even Ijaws in Edo.

Why do Ikas celebrate Iwaji just like other Igbos?
Why do Ikas have obis and ezes just like some Igbos?
Or are you trying to tell us that Obi and Eze are bini and igala words

SadiqBabaSani:
Nonsense, Igbo youths should stop fighting their most probable allies

If the don't fight them how do you expect them to become wiser?
