gidgiddy:
This is why people who speak the same language should not be subdivided into different states with those who have a completely different language

During the creation of Edo State in the 90's, the Igbanke people were carved into Edo State when they should have been left in Delta State with their fellow Ika's

This has now caused a situation where the Oba of Bini feels these people are his subjects when they are not.

Most unfortunate.

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.

Igbanke is Igbo not Bini, Oba of Bini stay clear of Igbanke affairs and face your ruling over Bini people and don’t overstep your boundaries. Igbanke don’t have Oba but Obi as their kings.

Irony1:


It is not attention seeking, it is fact.

Ok Sir

Christistruth02:


Azikiwe insisted that the Yoruba speaking Kwara belonged to the North and mustn't
be part of the west and he was so adamant he completely rejected all reasonable arguments on the matter so considering that this your argument get k-leg

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.

Ohaneze ....

Irony1:


How are they fighting their allies? Telling the Oba that he is over reaching his bounds is that what you call fighting? Na wah for una ooooo

You people always dish what you can't take.

If they respond accordingly now you will play the everyone hate igbo victim card.

That is a big lie. Igbanke was never part of Benin kingdom, it was under the Ika division. Make una take am easy to dey lie.

Bendeco02:


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

Igbanke is 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 doing mistake because if they team up with Ika nation, 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

Una don fit settle Una seat at home finish.. see his mouth like gra gra

Oga which kind of childish talk are you saying? The Oba made a rash decision by over stepping his bounds and people are calling him out and you are saying you people dish what you cannot take. Oga try and understand simple comprehension.

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

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.

is Delta State an Igbo state?

The Igbanke's are Igbos in Benin,as an igbo guy myself,I think that it has been made clear to all,however as long as they are in Edo state,the kings are all under the Oba of Benin,whom happens to be the first class king in the state and every others are under his leadership.The Benin people,have always been
good allies of ndigbo,whatever issues they Igbanke have with the Oba,it will be sorted out amicably.

There's Edo Igbo and Delta Igbo

The same Ohaneze wen dey Tinubue
Instead of Obi dey talk of the unity of Ibos
Now I understand why the northerns and the west don't them

Wait let us ask Ai,

See the result below; Igbanke or Igbo Akiri are Igbo of Ika stock.

Ai
While the Igbo people are primarily known to inhabit the Southeastern region of Nigeria, there are pockets of Igbo communities within Edo State, particularly among the Ika people. The Ika people, who are an Igbo subgroup, are also found in Delta State. Notably, Igbanke, a community in Orhionmwon, Edo State, belongs to the Igbo language-speaking Ika group.

Oba will only end up creating problems for himself, they have change governor because of you, now u want to start changing people King to bring your family member to rule over them.

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

Cruzmaster:

We don't need Edo as ally. They are more like Yoruba people. They share same ancestry with Yoruba. We can't abandon our people to please oba. He should rule over his people and let Igbanke people breathe!

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

temitope27:
they should pack their load and leave then

When the Oba returns to Ife where his Ancestors came from.

Myrepublic:
Una don fit settle Una seat at home finish.. see his mouth like gra gra

Off point

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 is not necessarily a political matter , it is an ethnic or tribal issue..

Irony1:


Oga stop commenting on things you don't know. These are indigenous igbo communities, this doesn't concern you please just be silent

It concerns us
So you didn’t get the memo that Ika and Igbanke are part of the Oduduwa Commonwealth

Dein of Agbor (Ika) na Oduduwa Pikin

He was only a young 3 year old king when his high Chiefs gate crashed Ile Ife
carrying him with his Crown on his head into Ooni Sijuwade’s coronation
he almost stole the whole show with his Chiefs bowing and displaying all kinds of Royal homage
before him to everyone’s astonishment

Ile Ife had never seen anything like it before, a 3 year old king carried by his (Prime Minister ?)
With his procession of his High Chiefs following behind him

And he Sat down with all the other Obas too

It was wonderful

Ohaneze is a very irrelevant group. Zoo journalist are just wanting to do tabloid and “breaking news” reporting in hopes to get notoriety.

If Ohaneze wants to be serious then they should have spoken up against the Imo governor that finished 4th that was installed 4 1/2 years ago or therabout….

Or the lavish spending that Cubana recently did with his fat sidekick and Kanayo that EFCC should again come and question…..


Nonsense

Karlman:

When the Oba returns to Ife where his Ancestors came from.

He want to bastardise the entire SS with his family as kings over communities there.

The samething currently causing wahala in Bini between him and the indigenous natives King there.

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 doing 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

we the anioma's need to clip his wings we don't need the whole Igbo nation on this matter we the anioma's will humble him and the entire Benin

SmartyPants:

Don't mind them...

Igbo people sha

peterincredible:

Not even Anioma, the Ika people will soon all he did to them.


That criminal masquerading as Oba.

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

JibrinAm:
Ohaneze the noisemakers. Always seeking attention

Oba of benin said they benin people own lagos/Eko igbos and everyone agreed except yorubas now igbanke said they are igbos by origin Oba of Benin suspended igbanke monarchs?

Igbos are to blame and fighting with Edo?

Irony1:

That is a big lie. Igbanke was never part of Benin kingdom, it was under the Ika division. Make una take am easy to dey lie.

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

Ohaneze vs Oba Bini.

Serves those Edo people right. We warned them about these land-grabbers but they insulted us.
