Just can not thank you enough for this episode, just got to know your channel and subscribed; this is a master piece, urge you to keep up the good work. Time has come for the whole Igbo race to speak with one voice.
Thank you guys .It's as clear as daylight that before any migration from Bini kingdom,igbos have been living in those towns and villages. That is why they were able to retain their language, their names and their culture. You guys are doing great 👍🏾
Even common sense will tell you that a Benin man will not be called "Eze Chima". There is nothing Binin in the name. And how did all of them speak Igbo and non speaks aedo? Let us face the truth these people eat, clothe, speak, live like ndiIgbo. Genetically, they are Igbos. Anyone trying to twist history, like I heard the Obi of Onitsh said, has a tall order.
It is the British that created a tribe called Igbo, the Portuguese traded with Great Benin empire, Oyo Empire, Kalahari Empire, neither German Nor Portuguese, that recognises Igbo nor account of trade.
@gentlemanedotv so Britain created the empires you named and gave them credence. The ones that did not capitulate to the Brits do not exist, based on your line of reasoning. Yes, Britain did not trade with Ethiopia, did they? Igbo existed centuries before Britain and Portugal, so they do not British recognition or credence to prove their existence. You may refer to British archives for proof. It is people like you that make their point using spurious lines, such as, Mungo Park discovered the River Niger.
@@gentlemanedotv You lie here, the Igbos were existing prior to the British encounter with the Igbos... Read your history and stop spewing rubbish.

The unarguable things that distinguish Igbos from others are Ofor, Circumcision, culture/Traagdition, and Language. Among the above, Circumcision and Ofor are more important to Igbos because we didn't learn them from anybody else. Infact we inherited them and really can't do without them, and an authentic ofor must be carved out of ogirisi tree. Once any community practices the above two things, then they are Igbos. You need to visit museum at Nri palace or Igbo ukwo Museum both in Anambra state among others for enlightingment.

I agree with most of what he said. But he did not elaborate on the children of Eze Chima. He mentioned Obior as the first daughter of Eze Chima and Ohaeze which now Onitsha Ugbo as the first son (di okpala) of Eze Chima. He mentioned Olibo who seemed to be the last child of Eze Chima. I am now over 80 years old and I was told by my parents who were born in 1896 and 1924 that Olibo was the last child of Eze Chima while Ohaeze (now Onitsha Ugbo) was the first son of Eze Chima. There was disagreement between Eze Chima, their father and Ohaeze due to storburness or something like that made Eze Chima to swear on Ohaeze that due to what you did to me, your father, you wouldn't inherit the governing of my family and that Oligbo who was the last child would be the governing Head of my estate/my children. That was it. There was an Issele Ukwu man from Ogbe Ofuu in Essele Ukwu was saying to my mother when they cracked joke that "je wer Oligbo is the head" (meaning Oligbo controls you Ohaeze (Onitsha Ugbo) people. Whereas Onitsha Ugbo being the first son could've been the head of the Eze Chima children. He did not tell us how many children did Eze Chima had. I understand that Onitsha Ugbo, Obior, Ezzi Uzor, Issele Ukwu, Onitsha Olorne, Onitsha Ibegbu, Onitsha Mili were the children of Eze Chima. Now in this man's narrative he did not mention how Onitsha Mili was sent away to be at the edge of River Niger on the Eastern side of Nigeria instead of being with the rest of his siblings on the western side of River Niger. There's this problem with family arguments but for a father to swear or proclaim that you my first son Ohaeze would not chi my family (govern my family) when I am gone is deep. So that is the reason why Issele Ukwu is now the head of Eze Chima's children. But is was argued that Oligbo was a female and females are never heirs to their father's estate/family. But Onitsha Ugbo never challenged that assumption. So I would like a clarity on this. Iam aware that Obior and Ezzi were daughters of Eze Chima and they were married. So I would like clearance on the above. Thanks.
Ezechima is not from benin, he was a medicine man in benin and oba of benin gave ezechima his daughter to marry later ezechima planned with his wife to kill her father the oba, and his wife the oba daughter refused to kill her father and later told her father the oba that her husband wanted her to kill him, because of that ezechima ran away back to the igbo land were he came from.
My brother thank you so much. You are making us so proud may God bless you. we are the descendants of the Igbo's not the descendants of the Benin it will never be may God forbids
Thank you for your programs they are very educating but in order to deal decisively with this Benin issue you have to do a program on idu and igodomigodo that will show who the first people that settled in the place called edo today and also who are these Benin people where they come from.
I AGREE WITH YOU, IDU'S, IDUMEJE ARE IGBOS, EDO, EBOS, EDOKA, EDOZIE, ARE IGBOS, IGODO'M, OGO'M, OGODOR, OGONNA THESE ARE IGBO NAMES and OGODOKA IS PEOPLE'S NAMES IN UMULOLO OKIGWE IMO STATE IGBO LAND.
Correct 👍 Ezechima is from Arochukwu that sojourn to Benin for trade business and to cure some People that were sick because he was a powerful native doctor
We need a thorough explanation of the meaning of Ofo. Offor is an Igbo staff. Every lineage in Igbo land has an Ofo and any body that has an Ofo is Igbo.
@bigiiyke2640 Eze chime is a native doctor from ogidi Anambra and he moved to Ile ife in Yoruba land after coming back with his children then they stopped at Benin before trouble broke out there.
@@chimaegeneonu2939: You are right, another thing is they are misspelling igbo words, Not using igbo alphabet letters correctly is an Issue or problem.
@Enuani cultural Forum, is the name eze chima or ezechime? I grew up knowing it as Chime. The eze that God ordained or made. Even your guest used chime several times. Chime and Chima are different names with different meanings. In Ogume in Ukwuani, there is Umuchime who are obvious Chime descendants
Our ANCESTORS will be happy to this generation, because all these tribal crisis ends to these GENERATION.No wonder, my late father the blessed memory and other elders that i know used to say "ihe" ndi ocha mere anyi.But thank God for the power of the social media.The IGBOLINAGE are now tracing they roots.
@@enuaniculturalforum How can you claim that Ezechima is mistaken for Ikhime? It doesn't make any sense. In any case, why are the people of Issele Ukwu trying so hard to be connected to Benin when not a single person from their community can speak any Benin language?
We are known as ebo tehete before white men came. It's means, nine towns. But today it's called 'Abatete' ebo means town and tehete means nine. Historical Abatete have lots of lands and connection with Onitsha in Anambra state and part of the lands were given to Nkpor to settle as their last born. Abatete is the first son, Umuorji the second and Nkpor the third son. Now you can see the connections such as the 9 most of the Igbos used and the town Onitsha in Anambra and the same apply in areas of Delta state.
Uwadie full meaning is Uwadiegwu was an Igbo name , Ute , Ezechime, are all Igbos meanwhile Ezechime was the son of Ezeoti and Oba kidnapped him and later found out that Ezechime was a native Doctor and Oba started using him and later allowed him to go back to his Igbos family also all the Igbos he mentioned are all Igbos .
Please, my brother I have subscribed to your channel. It’s very historical and highly educative. Please join hands with Chukwuemeka of Nnaa Mehn tv in his campaign for the unification of all igbos across Nigeria. Unifying with those who accepted their Igbo genealogy, nobody is being forced to become an Igbo man or woman.
God bless you! This is well explained. From day one lgbo's have been peaceful people and very careful individuals who believe in life. History can never lie . Benin people are claiming everywhere because they are people formed with force, take it even if it is not yours. Fortunately the world has moved on and it is time for them to think about their actions because it may not be acceptable in this present time . Thank you
This binin people just have only 3 or 4 c local government area in edo state, and edo state as a whole has 18 local government now how can they be empire, binin never one day be an empire, they only have kingdom, all this nonsense problem came from the union of British and yakubu Gowan during the Biafran war, federal government forces were using binin people to invade our territories, then forcing our own tribes to change their tribes and their languages, it happened during the Biafran war, and it shall not be well with yakubu Gowan and the union of British and the binin people, now they have come again on social media networks, it ends up here on social media networks
@@johnheaven994obviously u don’t know your history and all you present day ibos are so confused accept for a few. Ok u say we are 4 local government area. Why not leave Edo state and south south alone and focus on your south east. But u south east love trouble a lot. For your information, parts of the south east belongs to the benin empire and the remaining parts belongs to the Igalas and ibibios respectively. U all really don’t own any territory in Nigeria and your name “ Ibo came about due to the colonial masters. It’s on record that Benin have existed but nothing on record to ascertain that of Ibo hence your peoples confusion and trying to claim others history. If I ask u your history, u will say u came from Israel, or nri, or idu. Even Israel has debunked that claim and idu is Benin history. Leave it or take it, Eze chima is a Benin son and the people of Onitsha know that they are from Benin.
Francis u sound confused. It’s u ibos that are try to claim everywhere including other peoples land and history. Hence u all are really hated by almost every tribe in Nigeria.
@bigiiyke2640 The fact that Eze Chima is an Igbo name is also a fact that his father was an Igbo man, if his father was a Bini man why then did he give him an Igbo name????
@onyedikachukwumiracle his Original name is EzeIkimwin that was corrupted to Ezechima, because of Igbonization. The first king of Issele Uku was addressed as Enogie Uwadiae. Tell us the name of Ezechima father? What is the name of Ezechima mother? Where did Ezechima mother came from?
@kelechikalu8647 How do you know that the language you speak now belongs to you, when your history says that Igbo migrated from Israel but why are you not speaking Yiddish language and bears Hebrew names? Does it mean that you lost your language and identity?
If Eze Chima comes from Arochukwu in Bende Local of Abia State with his wives and children then there is no reason or reasons that all Igbo speaking towns in Delta States.
A deep deep anthropological research institutes must be established to look deeply into Spirituality and Republican nature of Igbo people with specific focus on the forces that resulted in their quick response to become autonomous and dispased into different directions.
This show you are even more confuse. You do not understand the origin of laovbize. If you do, you would not make such a foolish statement. Ask yourself his iyase hereditary that iyase are children of ezechima. Benin history is too big for you
The prince of Benin founded Etsako and from there he came to become Oba in Benin after the demise of his father as Oba Ozolua. Before he came to become oba, he had children there and one of them move on to form the Igede tribe in present day Benue state. The point I am trying to bring out here is that despite on record that he Established that region, people in the region today don't speak Benin and the traditional title there are not called the Oba. Use this analysis to correct yourself and gets the history right.
The Bini king conquered others tribes that were indigenous to whatever place they attacked. The Igbos, Ijaws, e.t.c. indigenous to the place accepted the Bini king as their own but that doesn't make them Bini. Most couldn't speak Edo and kept both their own languages and traditions. That's how some Igbos began to think that they are from Bini, Yes, they are from Benin but they are not Bini. They were a conquered people.
My brother the teacher na we go blame they said Eze chima was igbo chief in Benin this people continue to show their dullness what u cannot defend don't start it 😂
It's in Igbo DNA to leave their comfort territory to travel, explore and establish in other territories. It didn't start today. It's in their blood from their Ancestors
To those of you who are distorting Issele-Uku history, you can as well distort our monarchical system. If you want to bring someone to talk about Issele-Uku, kindly look for someone who's from Issele-Uku. There is place called 'Ute' in Issele-Uku. You can ask for Chief Akeh from Ishiakpe quarters in Issele-Uku to help you with our history.
Where ever you hear Ezechima or Eze chime it is full Igbo son. What is Benin? Is Benin a tribe? No. Why do you compare Igbo with Benin which is a name of a town in Edo state. People are being paid to talk rubbish. Benin town is Igodomigodos, the rulers are from Yoruba tribe who invaded their land and took control over them
Gentlemen, we are not living in the stone age anymore. The debate on the true identity of Eze Chima has prolonged. African tribes including Edo, Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani have their DNA samples in the USA ancestral laboratories. Black Americans are tracing their tribes in Africa as I type. It takes only two weeks to end this Eze Chima debate. Ohaneze Ndigbo should as a matter of urgency organise a DNA exercise by taking the DNA samples of 6 members of Eze Chima clan from each of the clans from Onicha mmili, Issele Ukwu and Onicha Olona. Send it to America so these labs can match their samples with the Edo and the Igbo samples. This age long ignorance will end. Obi of Onicha is still wallowing on hypothesis and recommending more research which will still end in more hypothesis. Tribal DNA will end this tiring debate. About 9 million Naira would cover the cost of the DNA exercise. Then, the matter will be rested permanently.
All this nonsense problem came from yakubu Gowan, during the Biafran war, the federal government forces was killing our igbo brothers and sisters, our families our fathers and mothers they used the binins to invade our territories in the igbo speaking part of Midwest during the war, forcing our people to change their tribes and their languages to binin language, it happened, it shall not be well with yakubu Gowan, i pray we shall conquer our enemies those binin people, all what they are doing ends up here on social media networks
@enuaniculturalforum amen and amen 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 👏 we shall win this war, and you guys are doing great jobs 👍 👏 our God almighty shall lead you guys to success amen and amen 🙏 🙌 ❤️
And secondly, every community u go to everywhere are not always from the same place of origin...So , stop calling a people Igbos because some people in those places may not be Igbos..
Young people don't know much about the history go and meet your elders in the land ask them about the land history not from this little boys you are asking questions about history
Eze is not king, Eze is word used to identify a great dibia be in igbo tradition we have classes of dibia we have Nwa dibia, dibia mgborogwu, Eze dibia.Eze is a word used to identify great priests according to work they can do spirit or the vast knowledge they have over the art of divinity Eze chima was not a king but a priest the Benin people mate him they decided to align with him he is the only reason y the Benin adopted isee as and the 4 market days system but he found out that the Benis was using the Portuguese to sell the igbos which made him got him so upset it was a great fight between them now u came to an unknown land became king by chance because oromiyo son had to be part of the result that made the so called Yorubas to came into Benin so they used the opportunity to establish their presence in the idu but when Eze dibia chime notice that eweka was actually working for the favour of the visitor which are the Yoruba relative they sent from Ile Ife to come and be controlling eweka it was so shocking that the people lost their hope and trust in eweka this was the time Eze chima became suspicious over what is going on in the scared stool remember before every ascension of ochi nze has to come with a ritual that even after the coronation the ascending king have to pay homage to a boundary of kogi and Anambra they do it more often but the Yoruba made them to change it because they were actually practicing the culture of the people they are ruling so by stopping it they started paying homage to Ile Ife before any coronation happens this doesn't mean that they actually Left everything they still adapted to so many cultural practices of the people like market dey and the attires of the artifacts the mate was mainly their most influenced ever
Your guest is not from Issele-Uku. I am not surprised that he's distorted Issele-Uku's history. If you want to know the truth about Issele-Uku, go and talk to our King, Obi Nduka.
Beni people are copying some igbo cultures as their own just like they invaded and occupied idu kingdom igbo people palace kingdom taking things that is not their own from igbos but still can't speak igbo language. Benin City is a Slave trading Commercial Center to sell the Igbos Biafrans. The Europeans put them in that part of igbo to help them catch and sell igbos.
Guys come let's watch this two idiots confusing their selves they said language cannot swipe my question is those Benin people that move to that place are they still speaking their own Benin language there now since u 2 said language can't be swiped exam failure 😂
When a people move to join a community that has already been existing is common for the culture,language and the spirituality of the already existing community of poeple to swallow the ones of the people that just joined, more especially if the people that just joined are few in number, take for example ,some igbos in lagos state can speak yoruba fluently that you even think that they are yoruba, it's not the other way round, yorubas in lagos don't speak igbo fluently because igbos are in lagos ,reason being because lagos is yoruba state and indigenous to the yorubas, but let me shock you, most of the igbos that are born in yoruba land still speak igbo or speak igbo to some extent , the fact that they live in yoruba land didn't make their language nor culture go extinct, so the question you should be asking yourself if you have conscience is how come all the communities that the binis are claiming answer igbo names?how come they have igbo cultures ? How come their forefathers answered igbo names? How come binin language is not spoken there? my brother you people are fighting a lost battle, referendum will settle everything, anioma is already doing their own, igbo in rivers state will also do their own when the time comes, or is bini people also going stop them when they decide by referendum to join the larger igbo group from the south east? In anyway you people come to stop the the igbo unity, you already failed

So that is the reason why Issele Ukwu is now the head of Eze Chima's children. But is was argued that Oligbo was a female and females are never heirs to their father's estate/family. But Onitsha Ugbo never challenged that assumption. So I would like a clarity on this. Iam aware that Obior and Ezzi were daughters of Eze Chima and they were married. So I would like clearance on the above. Thanks.
Very educative. Thank you.
There was never a time in this interview he said oligbo was a female. Rather he specifically said obior is the first daughter of ezechima..

What kind of question is this? Why would a Bini man give himself an Igbo name?
@@longinusukenta
They are claiming that the man is a Benin man. Have you not listened to Obi Onitsha?
@enuaniculturalforum
Yeah, they are comedians.
Ezechima is not from benin, he was a medicine man in benin and oba of benin gave ezechima his daughter to marry later ezechima planned with his wife to kill her father the oba, and his wife the oba daughter refused to kill her father and later told her father the oba that her husband wanted her to kill him, because of that ezechima ran away back to the igbo land were he came from.

@@chimaegeneonu2939: You are right, another thing is they are misspelling igbo words, Not using igbo alphabet letters correctly is an Issue or problem.
@Enuani cultural Forum, is the name eze chima or ezechime? I grew up knowing it as Chime. The eze that God ordained or made. Even your guest used chime several times. Chime and Chima are different names with different meanings.
In Ogume in Ukwuani, there is Umuchime who are obvious Chime descendants
Our ANCESTORS will be happy to this generation, because all these tribal crisis ends to these GENERATION.No wonder, my late father the blessed memory and other elders that i know used to say "ihe" ndi ocha mere anyi.But thank God for the power of the social media.The IGBOLINAGE are now tracing they roots.
What is king maker? Tell me more
We call them Ozim in Ubulu-Uku.
They are in charge of enthronement of a heir apparent.
How can Ezechima be an Benin man when the name is purely an Igbo name that transverses across Igboland?
They are calling that the name was Ikhime but corrupted to Igbo.
@@enuaniculturalforum How can you claim that Ezechima is mistaken for Ikhime? It doesn't make any sense. In any case, why are the people of Issele Ukwu trying so hard to be connected to Benin when not a single person from their community can speak any Benin language?
We are known as ebo tehete before white men came. It's means, nine towns. But today it's called 'Abatete' ebo means town and tehete means nine. Historical Abatete have lots of lands and connection with Onitsha in Anambra state and part of the lands were given to Nkpor to settle as their last born.
Abatete is the first son, Umuorji the second and Nkpor the third son. Now you can see the connections such as the 9 most of the Igbos used and the town Onitsha in Anambra and the same apply in areas of Delta state.
He missed 2 quarters Ogbedibo and Ogbeutu
Interesting! Thanks for pointing this out
Uwadie full meaning is Uwadiegwu was an Igbo name , Ute , Ezechime, are all Igbos meanwhile Ezechime was the son of Ezeoti and Oba kidnapped him and later found out that Ezechime was a native Doctor and Oba started using him and later allowed him to go back to his Igbos family also all the Igbos he mentioned are all Igbos .

This binin people just have only 3 or 4 c local government area in edo state, and edo state as a whole has 18 local government now how can they be empire, binin never one day be an empire, they only have kingdom, all this nonsense problem came from the union of British and yakubu Gowan during the Biafran war, federal government forces were using binin people to invade our territories, then forcing our own tribes to change their tribes and their languages, it happened during the Biafran war, and it shall not be well with yakubu Gowan and the union of British and the binin people, now they have come again on social media networks, it ends up here on social media networks
@@johnheaven994obviously u don’t know your history and all you present day ibos are so confused accept for a few. Ok u say we are 4 local government area. Why not leave Edo state and south south alone and focus on your south east. But u south east love trouble a lot. For your information, parts of the south east belongs to the benin empire and the remaining parts belongs to the Igalas and ibibios respectively. U all really don’t own any territory in Nigeria and your name “ Ibo came about due to the colonial masters. It’s on record that Benin have existed but nothing on record to ascertain that of Ibo hence your peoples confusion and trying to claim others history. If I ask u your history, u will say u came from Israel, or nri, or idu. Even Israel has debunked that claim and idu is Benin history. Leave it or take it, Eze chima is a Benin son and the people of Onitsha know that they are from Benin.
Francis u sound confused. It’s u ibos that are try to claim everywhere including other peoples land and history. Hence u all are really hated by almost every tribe in Nigeria.
Good job. Igbos are one every where. We may have different dialects as it is found in all other tribes of this world.

Eze Chima was a Full-Blooded Igbo man, Eze Chima is also an Igbo name answered by Igbo people alone
Lies and fallacies. Who's the father of Ezechima? Where did Ezechima mother came from? What's the name of Ezechima mother?
@bigiiyke2640 The fact that Eze Chima is an Igbo name is also a fact that his father was an Igbo man, if his father was a Bini man why then did he give him an Igbo name????
@onyedikachukwumiracle his Original name is EzeIkimwin that was corrupted to Ezechima, because of Igbonization. The first king of Issele Uku was addressed as Enogie Uwadiae. Tell us the name of Ezechima father? What is the name of Ezechima mother? Where did Ezechima mother came from?
@@bigiiyke2640and the language , culture, names of his descendants were corrupted to igbo language too?😂

If Eze Chima comes from Arochukwu in Bende Local of Abia State with his wives and children then there is no reason or reasons that all Igbo speaking towns in Delta States.
Circumcision in my place is observed exactly like the day of the bible...It's 7 days.
Eight days after birth.
A deep deep anthropological research institutes must be established to look deeply into Spirituality and Republican nature of Igbo people with specific focus on the forces that resulted in their quick response to become autonomous and dispased into different directions.
A very good suggestion.

Thank you for your contributions.
Any benin person who greets this salutation "Lavbi-Eze" is Ezechima lineage, and they owned the chief title of benin kingdom"Ezomo" till today.
This show you are even more confuse. You do not understand the origin of laovbize. If you do, you would not make such a foolish statement. Ask yourself his iyase hereditary that iyase are children of ezechima. Benin history is too big for you
The prince of Benin founded Etsako and from there he came to become Oba in Benin after the demise of his father as Oba Ozolua. Before he came to become oba, he had children there and one of them move on to form the Igede tribe in present day Benue state. The point I am trying to bring out here is that despite on record that he Established that region, people in the region today don't speak Benin and the traditional title there are not called the Oba.
Use this analysis to correct yourself and gets the history right.
Get what right?
If a lost prince comes to a place and meets people, they lose their identify?
Ezechima is from Arochukwu a proper igbo man that journeyed to Benin to heal the Benin people that were afflicted by some illness
This is interesting. Please, is there shy trace of his lineage there?
The Bini king conquered others tribes that were indigenous to whatever place they attacked.
The Igbos, Ijaws, e.t.c. indigenous to the place accepted the Bini king as their own but that doesn't make them Bini.
Most couldn't speak Edo and kept both their own languages and traditions.
That's how some Igbos began to think that they are from Bini, Yes, they are from Benin but they are not Bini. They were a conquered people.
Igbo ebuka , God knows all his Children.
Adegu, is a miss prononcement of odogwu😢

Igbos should stop using this circumcision and market days as Igbo tradition..Circumcision is a tradition that was taken along the Africans from Egypt.
In what day after birth does the circumcision happen in your own culture?
Also, what is the name of your own 4 market days?
Where ever you hear Ezechima or Eze chime it is full Igbo son. What is Benin? Is Benin a tribe? No. Why do you compare Igbo with Benin which is a name of a town in Edo state. People are being paid to talk rubbish. Benin town is Igodomigodos, the rulers are from Yoruba tribe who invaded their land and took control over them
@@BonnychiOjukwu
Fact! The Binis cannot change that fact.
Gentlemen, we are not living in the stone age anymore. The debate on the true identity of Eze Chima has prolonged.
African tribes including Edo, Igbo, Yoruba, Fulani have their DNA samples in the USA ancestral laboratories. Black Americans are tracing their tribes in Africa as I type.
It takes only two weeks to end this Eze Chima debate. Ohaneze Ndigbo should as a matter of urgency organise a DNA exercise by taking the DNA samples of 6 members of Eze Chima clan from each of the clans from Onicha mmili, Issele Ukwu and Onicha Olona. Send it to America so these labs can match their samples with the Edo and the Igbo samples. This age long ignorance will end.
Obi of Onicha is still wallowing on hypothesis and recommending more research which will still end in more hypothesis. Tribal DNA will end this tiring debate.
About 9 million Naira would cover the cost of the DNA exercise. Then, the matter will be rested permanently.
Migreted from where, is very important. And, even in igbo language, igbo language defer. I am, avaliable in open debate

Eze is not king, Eze is word used to identify a great dibia be in igbo tradition we have classes of dibia we have Nwa dibia, dibia mgborogwu, Eze dibia.Eze is a word used to identify great priests according to work they can do spirit or the vast knowledge they have over the art of divinity Eze chima was not a king but a priest the Benin people mate him they decided to align with him he is the only reason y the Benin adopted isee as and the 4 market days system but he found out that the Benis was using the Portuguese to sell the igbos which made him got him so upset it was a great fight between them now u came to an unknown land became king by chance because oromiyo son had to be part of the result that made the so called Yorubas to came into Benin so they used the opportunity to establish their presence in the idu but when Eze dibia chime notice that eweka was actually working for the favour of the visitor which are the Yoruba relative they sent from Ile Ife to come and be controlling eweka it was so shocking that the people lost their hope and trust in eweka this was the time Eze chima became suspicious over what is going on in the scared stool remember before every ascension of ochi nze has to come with a ritual that even after the coronation the ascending king have to pay homage to a boundary of kogi and Anambra they do it more often but the Yoruba made them to change it because they were actually practicing the culture of the people they are ruling so by stopping it they started paying homage to Ile Ife before any coronation happens this doesn't mean that they actually Left everything they still adapted to so many cultural practices of the people like market dey and the attires of the artifacts the mate was mainly their most influenced ever

Guys come let's watch this two idiots confusing their selves they said language cannot swipe my question is those Benin people that move to that place are they still speaking their own Benin language there now since u 2 said language can't be swiped exam failure 😂
When a people move to join a community that has already been existing is common for the culture,language and the spirituality of the already existing community of poeple to swallow the ones of the people that just joined, more especially if the people that just joined are few in number, take for example ,some igbos in lagos state can speak yoruba fluently that you even think that they are yoruba, it's not the other way round, yorubas in lagos don't speak igbo fluently because igbos are in lagos ,reason being because lagos is yoruba state and indigenous to the yorubas, but let me shock you, most of the igbos that are born in yoruba land still speak igbo or speak igbo to some extent , the fact that they live in yoruba land didn't make their language nor culture go extinct, so the question you should be asking yourself if you have conscience is how come all the communities that the binis are claiming answer igbo names?how come they have igbo cultures ? How come their forefathers answered igbo names?
How come binin language is not spoken there? my brother you people are fighting a lost battle, referendum will settle everything, anioma is already doing their own, igbo in rivers state will also do their own when the time comes, or is bini people also going stop them when they decide by referendum to join the larger igbo group from the south east?
