Are there any towns or communities in Benin that share the same name with those Ndígbo that claim that they are Benin from South South region?
If there are any such towns or communities, please share them here. Please note that I am specifically referring to Benin as a tribe, not Edo state.
Just as Igbo in the South East share names of towns and communities with Ndígbo in the South South, For instance, there is Uturu in Abia and also Uturu in Delta state, Ulakwo in Imo and Ulakwo in Rivers state, Afra in Abia and Afra in Etche Rivers state, Obohia in Rivers, and Obohia in Imo, and Abia State, and Itu in Rivers, also Itu in Imo, and Abia State. Additionally, there are Ọnịcha Ugbo and Ọnịcha Olona in Delta, Ọnịcha Ado and Ọnịcha Mmiri in Anambra, and Ogwashi in Enugu and Ogwashi in Delta state, While Ọnịcha Igboeze is located in old Ọhaọzara, Ebọnyị State, now a local government of its own (Ọnịcha Local Government Area).
Ọnịcha Ezinihite is located in Mbaise, Imo State while Ọnịcha Agụ is located in Akpugo, Nkanụ West Enugwu State.
Ọnịcha Imenyi in Abịa State. Ọnịcha Ngwa in Abịa State. Isiokpo in Rivers State , Isiokpo in Imo State. There’s Ahaba (Asaba) in Delta state,also there’s Ahaba in Abia State.
Other examples include Oron in Arochukwu, Abia, and Oron L.G.A in Akwa Ibom, and Ikwerre in Rivers and Ikwere in Ede Oballa Nsukka. There is also Obosi in Anambra and Obosi in Omoku Rivers, and Ebiriba in Ohafia LGA, Abia, Ebiriba in Ahoada West LGA River, and Ebiriba in Abi LGA Cross River.
The list goes on, highlighting shared names among Igbo communities in both regions.
As we are waiting for the Benin names of towns or communities that can be found within the Igbo communities or towns they claim to have migrated from their place, I also want you all to share additional names of Igbo communities or towns that exist in both the South East and the South South regions.
If Benin ethnic group can provide any Benin town or community name that shares the same name with any of those Igbo communities from the South South that they claim that have migrated from Benin ethnic group, I am prepared to delete this page.
