BINI OBA SAYS IKWERRES AND ETCHES 100% IGBOS.

The late Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa Akenzua, in his book ‘I remain, sir, your obedient servant’ narrated his years as a district officer in the Ahoada District of the former Eastern Region Nigeria.

He resided in Eastern Nigeria, particularly the Rivers Province, and specifically the Ahoada Distict from 1954 to 1965. The Adoada District was the “Igbo” district of Rivers, although it also included two non-Igbo groups: The Abua and the Engenni.

The other groups of the district were the Etche, Ikwerre, Egbema, Ogba, and Ekpeye, the igbo people.

In the book, Oba Erediuwa – who at the time was Prince Akenzua – mentions that the Ogba, Ekpeye, and Engenni had traditions of onces sojourning in Benin, and he said that the story is not captured in Benin history, it was a borrowed culture and therefore they are of igbo origin and however, he said the Ikwerre and ETCHEs were pure Igbos.

Ironically at that time no Ikwerre man, etche man, ekpeye man, egbema, Ogba man has claimed to come from Benin. If you are Ikwerre, etche , ekpeye, ogba, ndoni, ndoki, egbema and you are propagating this falsehood of bini descendants out of hate the enemies of the igbo race fed you, stop decieving your self , it can never see the light of the day. We are all igbos

Akalaka, who was an Igbo man who led a migration of Igbos out of Benin of multi-ethnic Benin Empire gave birth to Ogba and Ekpeye, and that’s why you can see trace of bini minor tradition. Ikwerre, egbema , etche, ndokis, ndoni, Opobo, are pure igbos and never migrated from anywhere

Go read specifically in the 2nd page….in that book my obedience servant. This is written by an oba of bini. Why are we decieving ourselves……. I am from omoku Rivers state…. I am a proud igbo man. we are all the great igbo race. – from Keneth Ibe (Omoku Ricers state)
