You're doing an excellent job nwanne. As Ogbueshi spoke of the name Ahaba, I recollect that there are many Ahaba communities in the South East...Ahaba village in Orodo near Owerri; Ahaba Imenyi in Isuikwuato; the Okporo Ahaba village in Ngwa etc. Other Asaba communities in the SS are Asaba Ubulu in Oshimili, Asaba Ase in Ndokwa. I'm not sure of the veracity of the "Ahabago m" theory that Ogbueshi postulates, but we can see this name emerges in various areas of Igbo land. Likewise, we see the Onicha name with Igbo in Delta state...Onicha Ugbo, Onicha Olona, Onicha Ukwuani. But, we also see many Onicha communities in the South East...Onicha Mmili- Anambra state, Onicha Ngwa- Abia state, Onicha Uboma- Imo state, Onicha Enugu Ezike-Enugu State, Enu-Onicha Nike- Enugu State, Onicha Igboeze- Ebonyi State, Onicha Uburu- Ebonyi State. Again, we're really looking at the same people on both sides of the Niger, despite certain peculiarities.

Mr. Dr. Excuse me, Mr. Dr Darlingthing, your head is also not correct ooo! Your wishful thinking is dead on arrival already; why? You mentioned Onitsha in all this confusion the Igbos are having, anufia! Do you know that Onitsha is part of the Edo/Benin ancestry/heritage? Please go talk to the Obi of Onitsha or at least the chiefs, Ok? There is no Nteje ancestry or whatever in Onitsha except the EDU/Edo ancestry and please go and figure, mumu!! Una, please stay on your lane!!!

@@omobanedo9602Oga you’re very foolish ewu

@@godwinonwudiwe ignoramus lol. Eze Chima was an Enogie. His grand son founded Onitsha after the Ona in Benin shifted royalty to Eze Chima second son since first son died before the father. Read Azikiwe book on Onitsha and learn your history! Azikiwe is direct descendant of Eze Chima and even until the civil war, Igbos don't accept Onitsha as Igbos. Same with Enugu who are descendants of Igala

Oga, Opobo is IJAW. Opobo is not Igbo. Thnx. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqmAfquqzcq9dGw.htmlsi=9p9zVOvO73XQ7zsC

obumneme IGBOKWE you will not understand what happened during the civil war. That war divided the Igbo race because the Fulanis and the rest of people in Nigeria where against the Igbos. A situation where everybody was against one ethnic group, some of them decided to deny their their identity to remain alive. it was that bad. if you know what the Igbos suffered because of that war, it is unspeakable. My joy today is that the truth is beginning to manifest. People have seen that the igbos have not done anything wrong.

@@christopherchunuwe7713 🙏🙏🙏

Amen.

Even in Obowo “Umu Ada” are respected

It's better it's not even coming from or initiated by Ohaneze else the corrupt Yoruba press would have began their campaign of calumny, calling it politically motivated imitate to expand the south east geopolitical zone of Nigeria!!

There is Onitsha Ngwa also in Abia state.

@@brainoverbrawn3404 we actually need a proper education for this.

@@cryptowave1798 Our people need to be educated on a lot of things, and it has to be documented for posterity, using media outlets like this one. A lot of the crises we have today is because of the lack of documented history. That said, there's a lot of information out there already, but the curiosity has to be there to seek out this information and make the connections. Udo.

@@brainoverbrawn3404 continue educating others the little way you can. I love it. We need to start somewhere.

He mentioned Iyase,that is a Bini title and makes me wonder how they fought so hard.

It’s not true we are very traditional people just that our people are shifting from the truth for selfish gains.

We Asaba people know our history,its you guys across the Niger that like to argue.

Leave church and Bible alone abeg.

I thought in Igboland, a child can't hv inheritance in d mother's family, d father owns d child. Abi d tradition don change? Women can own children now? Children r now frm their mother's family?

We all heard it when the Ogbueshi said exactly the same Sir. Any need to reecho it??

What is the tittle of the book?

Yes, but that's because every Obi and his cabinet must get approval from your Yoruba Obas who came from Ile Ife with their Yoruba gods and goddesses like olokun, Ogun, Osun, Ifa, Orumilla, Esago, Ora etc. Even the Bini royal court were making use of Yoruba language back then. Oba, Iyase and the others are Yoruba names. What's the meaning of Ovbi Adimula?

​​@@ahkramokaa4508 they pay homage to the Oba of Bini, the Benin empire cover from onitcha to Eko n even some parts of Dahomey, and they all pay homage to the Oba...... The Benin empire is not Yoruba, we know our history n we don't fabricate stories like most ppl...... Don't say what u obviously don't know, u can't tell us our history, we are asaba ppl or Delta Igbo...... Know ur boundary.

​@@ahkramokaa4508if oba, iyase oliha are yoruba what is their meaning in yoruba.

​@@goldynmark1799oba is a yoruba man, and he even wage war over yoruba who as his people abi

Probably you want him to claim that they migrated from Benin

And where exactly is Nteje where the Asaba peoples still pay homage according to the Ogbueshi?? Its obvious you and not Igbo or hardly where Nteje is located presently.

Because he didn't mention Benin LOL. Asaba is not Benin. Get out.

I'm from Nteje the Ogbueshi is not far from the truth here's the belief and authentic history for those that care to know Nteje is from idah present day kogi state by venture of state creation originally idah was part of Eri kingdom before the( ogu idah) idah war and Eri kingdom collapsed aftermath During the war (ogu idah) many flew and established different communities in Anambra, Enugu imo, Abia, Delta etc.. Nteje and his wife Dunu with their three son Ezinteje, Ikenganteje, ifitenteje flew to the present location Nteje Aborgu. ok! Fast forward to the main topic Amupa one of the sons of ifitenteje the last born of Nteje was looking for a fertile farmland to cultivate yam as we are known for yam farming discovered Ahaba(Asaba) and established his farmland there and later met some Nzem fishermen along the Mmiri Omombara (present day onitsha or some part of Onitsha however ) and married one of their daughter and they gave birth to Nnebisi the offspring of present-day Asaba (Nzem is part of Anambra state by venture of state creation but igala by Ethnic)

U are a big fool.

Many of those Igala dwellers are still Igbos that spread in Kogi, Benue and Calabar. They're all Igbos. There's nothing like they're Benin. There are Igbo tribe that made up of Benin Kingdom and they migrated back to Onitsha when there was a crisis in Benin Kingdom. The only Igbo dialect left in Benin today are the Igbanke. There are also some group of Igbo that migrated from Ife to Benin kingdom and some migrated from Ife to Eastern part to settled.

Oga I am from asaba and I can tell you that I am an Igbo man by birth and blood

No Benin in Asaba take note

Please no bini or igala in asaba. Carry your nonsense and get out of aniocha!

which one is benin again...where in Benin did they come from? Do not Tell me that EZE CHIMA is a BENIN MAN

Ahaba Na Oko Bu Nwanne

@@transahabagroup458 nwanne mmadụ

Igala are Igbo by origin. There are Igbo tribes, villages and community in Igala. Go read history about Igbo Igala origin.

Oga asaba people are Igbo people speaking from an indigene

U be bingo

the father wasnt properly married to the mum and thereby in igbo culture has lost all the paternity rights to ikwu nne

​@@anthonyemekanwosu5282 But d same family chased d child away ! Bcos d woman had d child out of wedlock, her family chased d son away. He went away and settled somewhere. Now his mother's family still lays claim 2him. How ? Supposing he died in d forest after he was sent away ? U banish someone, y still lay claim ?

Obi of Agbor is a bit dicey and leaning towards benin yet bearing Igbo names, maybe Obi of Owa will be better to interview

D same person they rejected & chased, they want him back 😅 Their culture says a child cannot hv a place, a say or inheritance in his mother's place. Now they r claiming d child. D man is a bastard according 2 Igbos, bcos his father didn't marry d mother. D child belongs 2his father who is an Igala man, so they shud leave Asaba ppl 4 Igalas

@@ayebatarijuliapaxagiri2767 even the Igala tribe are igbos by origin go and read history well before commenting

The Asaba people are from Igala by origin and the Igala tribe also igbos by origin, you saying that Asaba are not igbos should also remember about the Asaba massacre during the Biafran war showing that the hausas and the yorubas recognize them as igbos (part of Biafra) the entire Nigeria government classifieds them as igbos.

@@jonaschibudo4074 Who is dis one ?

@@jonaschibudo4074 I dunno if Igalas r Igbos or not. But 4u 2say Hausa or anyone recognises dem as Igbo is a basis at all. Dat someone sees u as A doesn't mean u r A . In d South , most ppl think all Northerners r Hausa. Som ppl think d whole Plateau, Nassarawa, Benue, Kaduna r Hausas but in reality it's not true. So don't use dat as a basis 4 argument.

Benin kingdom, and he was pushing the man out of the Benin part of the story and avoiding him from speaking about it

You did hear when he said that asaba ppl resisted the benin control in asaba Benin are imperialists just like the british So u ppl just got the taste of ur own medicine when the british colonized benin

Every of our Obis and their cabinets from Anioma (Western Igbos) always come to your Yoruba Obas who came from Ile Ife with their Yoruba gods and deities like olokun, Ogun, Osun, Ora etc to take approval. Failure to do that will amount to invasion and destruction. Even your fellow Edoid group were attacked by the armies of Bini because they failed to come get approval. Ahaba Ibokwe has three foundation. The first human to settle down in Ahaba is Eze_ Ugboma from Achalla, Awka region. The second person is Eze _Anyanwu. He's an Igbo ritual specialist who is related to Eze_Chima. Nnebisi's mother who came from Nteje was a servant in his court. There he was impregnated by Onoja Oboni who was a slave raider/guest of Eze_Anyanwu. Onoja Oboni ran away, and Nnebisi's mother was sent back to her parents. Before the coming of white people into West Africa, every ethnic nationality has their own way of belonging to a family. In Igboland, out of wedlock kids(Ime_Mkpuke) belongs to the girls parents. You Edoid people have your own ways like Isomi wife etc. Nnebisi migrated back to Ibokwe when he became an adult, and start coexisting with the descendants of Eze_Ugboma & Eze _Anyanwu. This's why you hear names like Ugboma _Nta( Younger/little/small_Ugboma. That's why you hear us make mention of Ahaba Ibokwe, Obodo Achalla, Umu_Eze_Anyanwu. Do you people worship Soil The Earth goddess (Ali,Ala,Ani,Ana or Eli( Ani _Ahaba, Ani_Onitsha, Ala_Ngwa, Ali_Isokpo, Ali_Obu, Ani_Anam, Okani_Ali )? Do you people kill twins? Do you people eat humans, do you people kill infants whose legs appears first during child birth, do you people kill infants whose upper teeth appears first? Yeah, we have been living together, we borrowed some things from you guys because your Yoruba Obas forced us to do so, but we're not the same people, ok?? We don't worship the same gods, we don't have the same culture, custom and traditions. We don't belong to the same language group.

@@ahkramokaa4508 keep on lying and blowing rubbish history Obi has no relationship with Yoruba obas

@@Factwithced3473 I guess you have issues with understanding English language, right??

The Truth is always clear.

It has happens already

introduce him to the royals....

@@anthonyemekanwosu5282 How did he introduced himself to the omu of anioma. He should use the same method that work for him

This is ambiguous,please name the communities in the South south where this is the case?,who are the native Igbos you are the talking about?.

it's not necessary for him to speak Igbo cos most people who are not Igbo or who may not speak Igbo but are Igbo can understand

Who told you it’s for only IGBO AUDIENCE???

I agree with some of your points especially the last statement/sentence. But why are you speaking/writing in English to criticize him for doing the same.? English is a very common means of communication and this video isn't just for Igbo people to listen to. Its a documentary and he needs as many views as possible too. We shouldn't always pick on the small issues when the bigger problems are facing us. I propose we come up with a bigger name to encompass all people/towns with strong Igbo or similar socio cultural identity/customs to create a much bigger union that is not political. Since clearly because of naija state politics some people will keep saying they are not Igbo just for the sake of the politics of their state and position/resource sharing. Unfortunately that's the level for now. So this new name eg 'umunnem' etc should be volunteer for anyone or town or sub tribe to join without duress. We have to find a way to stop this' I am Igbo or not Igbo' embarrassment.

Start the project my brother no body is stopping you bro
