HISTORY OF IKA PEOPLE

Evidence can be gotten from their belief in Oselobue/Osolobue as God and Ehi as their guardian spirit

Ika People in Edo State
-History of Igbanke
The birth of Igbanke could be traced back to the earliest times, long before the advent of the Europeans, when six villages from Edo, Delta decided to unite in communal fellowship.

It is best you give them Ika names.
100 Ika names:
1. Erimuya- I will not suffer.
2. Mosheri-God is my witness.
3. Ehiabor-Gods Blessings.
4. Ehiedu-God leads
5. Ehiyemofe-God gave freely
6. Kpanmiose- I thank God.
7. Okpohoka-woman is greatest .
I’ll give my kids typical Edo names, to avoid “you’re Edo, why are you bearing Igbo names”
I do get tired when I have to explain and explain.
Yes, coupled with some Scandinavian and Russian names I have for them ❤️.

Point of correction Mr Ewere Obi-Dickson.
Ika does not share anything traditionally, culturally, and ideologically with Igbo.
We have rejected their region, their identity, and stated that we are nothing other than Ika.
Kindly go back to your people and refrain from this.
Anioma, Ukwuani, Issele-uku, Aniocha, Asaba, Ika, Oshimili, Igbuzo are Igbo communities in Delta state

Ndi Ika, giving your children names without meaning in your language is neglecting your language and exposing them to attacks from another ethnic group.
These are the issues;
- Ebube does not have a meaning in Ika language.
- Ikechukwu does not have a meaning in Ika language
A very serious case. I guess she will know her identity one day.

This is a shit show from Igbos.
Lol this guy wants to erase Ika tradition and replace with Benin because the Oba of Benin supported him in school abroad after the death of his father at an early age
