Oba of Bini Confirms Ikwerre and Etche as True Igbos.

In his book “I Remain, Sir, Your Obedient Servant,” the late Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa Akenzua, provides a powerful revelation: the Ikwerre and Etche people are pure Igbos. Reflecting on his years as a district officer in the former Eastern Region, he highlights how groups like the Ikwerre, Etche, Ogba, and others share deep-rooted Igbo heritage, despite claims of Benin origin by some. The Oba’s testimony challenges misconceptions and sheds light on the true identity of these communities.

This historical insight is vital in addressing the identity crisis many face in Rivers State today. By embracing our shared Igbo roots, we can move toward unity and celebrate the rich heritage that connects us.
