This people are really defendants of Benin, although they now speak Igbo but I still feel the blood of the great Igodomigodo in them.
This account of origin from Bini is so elaborate and robust that you can feel that this oral history has been passed down several generations unadulterated. The people of South- South and South- East Nigeria can form a strong bond that can leverage political relevance and power in Nigeria.
You are right but some people will still like to used others head because they will think they are the smarter people
Na ur papa been bini😂😂

This is the era of information technology, it's now very difficult to suppress the truth because everybody can now tell their own stories and the whole world will listen. It's good to hear that Enugwu Ezike people are Benin decendants.
Ezike and Eze Chima are ancient benin names. A benin man told me this.
If names like Eze Chima and Ezike are truly ancient Benin names then more research has to be done on the Benin history. Benin may have been an IGBO kingdom before others took over. Else someone is telling a lie somewhere because Eze Eze Chima and Ezike have no meaning in Benin. According to all the present day descendants of Eze Chima in both Anioma and in Anambra (Umu Eze Chima clan Union), Eze Chima gave birth to all his Children in Benin and their names were Chimaevi, Chimedie, Oreze, Udogwu, akpali Ezechi, Oligbo, Daike, Ezi (daughter), Dei etc.. abeg what are these names in the ancient Benin language?
we must get to the bottom of this. I'm happy to hear about this Ezike ancestor coming from Benin. To me it is another push for us to make more resesrch. and if we the IGBOS find out that we were once the rulers of Benin. That will be very interesting.
@@okekechidi3377 Ezechiman is a corruption of Ezehimwneman which is a proper Benin word. And please note that the children of Eze chiman know that they are Benin decendants. If you check Igbo history without bias, you will see that Igbo Identity started in the mid 20th century. Before then the people you call Igbo today were not the same people and did not see themselves as one. That's why you don't have a pre colonial Igbo Kingdoms or Igbo Empire. Igbo can not trace themselves to one ancestry like the Binis, Hausas, Fulanies or Igalas because they all have different ancestries. Most people you call Igbos know their anscetry and they will proudly tell you if you have a one on one conversation with them.
@@alphabet798 bravo!! You are a good fabricator. How do you justify the IGBO names of Ezechima's Children born to him in Benin? I'm sure Ezike was Ezikenmwenman yeah? nwa bini, go and read Olauda equianos book so you can understand how the IGBOS saw themselves before the 20th century. You obviously do not know much of anything. Many IGBOS have begun to dig deeper into the Benin history and we must find the true roots of Benin. Someone is definitely lying somewhere. Umueze Chima are not fools they know the names of their Forefathers and no fellow IGBO group influenced the name of their ancestors. We have very few descendants of Igalas in Onicha that settled with the descendants of Chima and the Igala names of their ancestors are still intact. We also have the Olukumis (very few in number) in Aniocha who fled slavery and settled among the IGBOS of Aniocha. The Yoruba names of their ancestors are also intact. These Yorubas settled with the IGBOS even before the advent of Eze chima. But according to Nwa bini, Ezechima is that rubbish you stated above!!! After una go dey say IGBO too get sense, when infact, everybody get sense but una no just dey use una own. Think.
@@okekechidi3377believe what you want but just know the Benin was an empire and it takes kingdoms and kingdoms to make an empire just that present day Benin City was the capital and it Oba was the head of the empire.
British divided and conquer the empire plus the selfish ones made us loose our history because they needed power for themselves. You can't say the benins were the selfish ones because they suffered more and other tribes still say they came from Benin empire without Benin forcing them to say so... Common sense and common logic.
Look at how calm they are,like a typical Edo person,greetings from Edo state.
LOL They are related Idoma and Igala peoples in tongue and demeanor.
I am so pleased to hear this tradition. This is good. Thank you Dimma.
Thanks for listening ,God bless you beyond boundaries .
I love this babe ❤️
Benin love you all Enugu people
One love Enugu and Benin for all
What is the meaning of ezike in Benin?
We must get to the root of this. Ezike has no meaning in Benin. IGBOS must have ruled Benin at a point if truly Ezike was a Benin prince. His descendants know him as Ezike and Ezike alone. They don't know him as Akenzua or Omorodion. Don't get too excited Nwa Beni. Keep your love to yourself for now.
@@okekechidi3377 lol I agree. A lot of benin people claim to have groups in igbo land that came from them including groups in delta state (igbo part), ikwerre people, some enugu people, a lot of anambra including people with nri origin as well as parts of imo. It is very funny to me when most (all) of these people speak and do culture nothing like benin people.
@@okekechidi3377In Benin his name would ehikhe or Azikhe - Oba but has been corrupted to Ezike, what is the meaning of Oba in Igbo?
Like they rightly said his father was the Oba of Benin…. Tho they speak Igbo now doesn’t mean they have always spoken that language… like the elders said he left and never went back so he established himself in a new land close to new people which over time changes the language and culture.
@@Roy_MO I don't need to argue with you. Lets see Benin legs in Ezike and you'll see what will happen.
Wow,very interesting.Well done my brothers.
Wow!! These people have ukhure!!!
The staff of authority
My sister ur doing good keep it 🆙
There is clear evidence that the oba of Benin moved around and stayed in various places. While the capital Benin was administered by his chieves. The death of oba orogbuwa after founding Lagos forced Benin council to begin restrictive measures on the oba of Benin movement
thanks for the insightful comment
I'm your brother or lets say your fan from Alor Agu and i really love your programme. Keep it up👍👍👍
If you observe carefully they are not like regular Igbos.
No, they are like your father.
"Not like regular Igbos" What is a "regular Igbo" then?
Omo noba ghator kpeee ise
Iseee
Isee
Isee!
Dimma, I want you to go to Enugu agulueri and find out how oba left anambra to Benin axis please, we suppose to go and honor our Father in benin please 🙏
Ok Chat me on whatsapp 08061227058
He dont need to chat u up. You know it ur self
Stop posting bullshit history ezike is from aguleri
@@QueenofAfricanCulture
Ok
honor whose father?
We are Igbos, we only travelled to Bini empire just to work like any other Africans. After the fall of Bini Empire, we all went back to Igboland.
Stop your nonsense.
Africans are now returning from America back to Africa, as American empire gradually falls.
Stop this Bini ancestry madness.
Enugwu Ezeki people are one of villages in Enugwu Ukwu. They committed murder and was expelled as the culture then. And settle in Enugu state. Come to Enugwu ukwu to hear your history. You history is documented in Enugwu ukwu.
I will like to get your contact for more information.
Murder? It was actually a war between brothers.
One village in Enugu Ezike is bigger than Enugu Ukwu. How can they now migrate from there. Abi the whole village migrate?
The killing of elephant and lion was a normal thing done in benin. Leopard was tame in the oba palace until the British destroyed everything. Truly he was a benin man!!!
Thanks
For your information, in time past people migrated alot for many reasons like wars, famine and eacaping a despotic monarch.
In pre colonial times, some Benin people migrated from Benin because your Obas were very cruel.
I am not in doubt the Enugu Ezeike people may have migrated from Benin, what i am after is that when they came to Igbo land, they met Igbo ancestors who offered an abode to the Benin migrants and they became Igbo people.
You Benin people came from Egypt. Have you ever heard the Egyptians claiming you came from them?
You guys should be careful because the Enugu Ezeike are now Igbos end of story.
@@DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zc7nz We are the real Egyptians, not those Arabs people you see there, they can't claim US because we have found our own way
@@DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zc7nz
I am not understanding you, where did the commentor claim the Ezike people of today are Benin? He only shared the info that they perform certain traditions just like the Benins which proves their ancestory. I don't see how that would be a problem or why anyone should tranalate that to mean that the Ezike people are not Igbos.
Igbo historians should clarify this Bin heritage of igbos or how bin descendants become Igbo. Everywhere like ikwerre,ika and so on is the same story.
Atta of Igala is just a bosom friend of Ezike oba but Ezike oba is from Benin and Benin is from Enugu agulueri. Ezike Ike oba went back to Enugu ukwu because he knows very well that his father is from agulueri and that's why he has the right to own and claim a land in Enugu agulueri.
Thanks . So much

Your are highly welcome Dimma art work
You don't know what you are saying, the igbos are arochukwu, ofigbo and umuahia they where the ones that where selling slaves, you don't know your history, there's nothing like aguleri in benin kingdom history ok stop your lies and propaganda

@@EvwienureEjowokeoghene-uh5iqBenin is too small to be compared with the Igbo race.
Your name suggests you're Urhobo or Isoko.
These Enugwu Ezike guys are from Enugwu ukwu town. We know their village. We know and some of them know their history.
The young man slept with a wife of the Oba of Benin who was his father. When the Oba found out he instructed that he be killed so he ran away to Enugwu Ukwui. Because he was a fugitive he was not mixing with the people of
Enugwu ukwu. This isolation got back to the Oba who sent his soldiers to go and investigate. That was when he ran to Ida and was staying with the Attah. The Oba found out and sent a message to the Attah that he should release the boy or he will attack him. Attah then sent him to Enugu Ezike to hide and the people the Oba sent told the Oba that he was not in the palace
Eventually Attah pacified the Oba and he forgave his son. That's why the greatest taboo in Enugu Ezike is sleeping with someone's wife
T
Lies and propaganda
My understanding is that we, the Igbos, have no clear knowledge of our ancestors because every part of the Igbo land tells a different story about where we are from. And some of it didn't make any sense. I would prefer to say that we should just identify ourselves as Igbos, not all this upside-down thing.
Ezikoba migrated from Idah
Ada, I want to inbox 📥 you

All these old men can't be talking nonsense but what i don't understand why and how they call themselves igbos.
Ancestral language is an important factor in determining the origin of a people.
These people speak Igbo, their names are Igbo. How can they be Bini? Whatever happened to their Beni language, if they had any initially. Assuming they learned Igbo, they will still retain their ancestral language in their communication, place-names, person-names, cultural icons etc, but that is not the case
Think about it.
For more than a century now, the Fulani has colonised the North but Hausa and other native languages are still being widely spoken.
I say YES to Bini Kingship and cultural influence, since Bini Empire was a great one but
NO to Bini Ancestry.
You can go and find out from them
That's why research is important
Anybody can be influenced with another person language based on your environment.
I have only see so many people who their languages close to igbo language that always say the truth where they came from at least they are still better than the yorubas who always covered their own because arrogant and human pride.
Under estimating discrimination will not lead us any where
Igbo speaking people is more related to the Benins take it or leave it
Forget about the language differences even some family inside benin have their own language they learn within themselves so that isn't new.
We never forced or imposed ourselves on anybody to recognise with us but people no where they are from we don't put the ward in their mouth they know where they are from.
Is like you're asking some Igbos born and raised in Lagos that are speaking Yoruba language and bearing Yoruba names. An Igbo woman spoke that she had never been to the east, all her siblings were born and raised in Lagos and was named Yoruba names. Please how would you explain that?
@@zion-985 there are many igbo born in lagos that speak yoruba but can't speak igbo and some have never been to East before.
Nothing like Bini empire only Bini city.
@@penceefeTv If you name is not Igbo and you can not speak Igbo or practice Igbo culture, you are not Igbo. Igbo in Lagos speak English or Yoruba as a second language.
If names like Eze Chima and Ezike are truly ancient Benin names then more research has to be done on the Benin history. Benin may have been an IGBO kingdom before others took over. Else someone is telling a lie somewhere because Eze Eze Chima and Ezike have no meaning in Benin.

😆😆😆😆 go and learn history because you can't give what you don't have.....you don't even have the history enough to start claiming Benin empire that's why I laughed
@@swain4971 bye.
@@okekechidi3377 yeah glad you've learn your lesson from those other comments I replied you .....
@@swain4971 bye..
All that names you are mentioning where you got those names from, Ezechma was a corrupted name I want you mention his reAl name he has only three children 😅
They should speak general igbo language for none Enugu ezike people to understand
Their is subtitle on the screen, so if you don't understand it read what the subtitle
I understand their dialect very well
They are the real Igbo.
@@felixota1889Be deceiving yourself cameroonia Igbo 😂
Meanwhile... Agu is Leopard not Lion
Oba is not only an Edo or Bini word.
For example the word for box in Igbo, Bini Edo, Edo, igala, Yoruba, etc is similar or close -
Igbo apkati,
Yoruba epoti,
Bini & Edo ekpeti,
Notice ti in all.
This mean that these languages originated from the same area like neighbours. But it does not mean that one came out of the other.
Everyone in southern Nigeria claiming that they cam from Bini to associate with position given by the British to the Oba for their own reason, which is indirect rule - the British nearly succeeded because this promotion of this policy has still followers who now claim that it was their history not knowing why and how? Some want to claim Bini too as they want to keep in their families from father to son the Eze or traditional ruler as done in oba of Bini.
Enugu Ezike and nssuka is older than Bini as sites have been found there older than Bini by hundreds of years.
Any one from Bini should speak Bini like a child does in family. The rest is stories.
So you know his history more than him... it's well
First and foremost the British destroyed Benin and exiled It's King they almost destroyed the monarchy and distributed it kingdoms to strangers so I wonder what you are try to say about the British helping Benin kingdoms.
What British did to Benin is enough humiliation for others not to associate themselves with Benin kingdom but blood is thicker than water. Your write up shows you know nothing about Benin if not you just disgrace yourself by writing this nonsense.
@@swain4971 Afterwards the British brought him back from Calabar after he agreed. Jaja of Opobo was not brought back to Opobo because he refused to work with them. The sultan was replaced by his brother I think too. Many obi, eze and nobles were removed and warrant chiefs replaced them if they refused to work with the British.
@@knwaoke6193 the Oba died in calabar in the year 1914 his body wasn't even brought back to Benin.....
Don't go typing what you don't have an idea of....Jaja died on his way back to opobo but we all knew he was killed/ poison on the ship that was bringing him back to opobo after the exile....
@@swain4971 1. My error - was referring to his son/relatives working with the British.They could have killed and abolished kingship. Instead they old king was close in Calabar.
2. It convenient that King jaja died enroute? He died in exile as he was not in Opobo.
Jaja was thousand of miles away and the Bini king was in Calabar?
People should stop making MISINTERPRETATIONS. Bini was an empire then, just like America is today.
Many different nationalities travelled to, and lived in the Bini empire.
People of those nationalities teturned to their ancestral homes during and after the fall of Bini empire, just like a lot of Africans are leaving America, and returning back to Africa today.
The misinterpretation is then that those returning from Bini are of Bini ancestry. THAT IS FALSE.
All manner of African nationalities travelled to Bini to build the BENIN empire.
Fake news. You can’t hide from the history. Your ancestors from Enugwu ukwu. Your village is still very known. This guys with red caps should be banned from faking history:
Fake history biko😂😂😂
why not make this history general interview,did u went to know for urself or for the world,remember u are on social media,miss learner
