00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.759
<v Speaker 1>Labor Party presidential candidates in the last general elections in Nigeria.

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Peter Obe may have recorded the highest views on his

3
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>ex social media account in recent years after he treated

4
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>on well nless Day, September four, twenty twenty four, making

5
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>an amendment to his earlier post he issued to condemn

6
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>a Canadian based woman, a Maca patient song Bagar, who

7
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>on TikTok had called for the killing of people from

8
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 1>two ethnic groups in Nigeria. The post, as at Friday

9
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>evening when we visited Peter OB's social media page, has

10
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 1>generated over two point two million views, surpassing the views

11
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 1>of every other post Peter Obi had posted in recent time.

12
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.439
<v Speaker 1>According to Peter Obe, based on the information or reactions

13
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>he got from people, that a maker patient Somba govern

14
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>met the ethnic generocidal statement in reaction to the earlier

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>heathful speechment against the people of Amaka tribe. While some

16
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Nigerians took to the comments section of the post to

17
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 1>command Peter for reversing himself, many others condemned the Labor

18
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Party presidential candidates Peter Ob for trying to play the

19
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>victim role for a Marchason Burghar, whom the said, is

20
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 1>the aggressive of such tenuicidal statement of the first person

21
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 1>to start asking his people to start killing people of

22
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>two other tribes in Nigeria would poison. Peter OBEI did

23
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>not state he decided to reverse himself on the basis

24
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 1>of his own investigation, but he said he did the

25
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>reversal based on reactions from people. There are concerns that

26
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 1>the AMMBIC group of terrorists trying to cause ethnic war

27
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>in Nigeria. The terrorists, according to Intelligent Gathering, are pretending

28
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>or may actually be a member of a particular tribe

29
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>in Nigeria who are deliberately making provocative and insight from

30
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>statements and caricatural photos of traditional rulers to instigate ethnic

31
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>war in Nigeria. Details of Peter Obe's statement reads verbaton below.

32
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>Following my recent comment on the Nigerian woman living in Canada,

33
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>women very distrestful comments against how fellow Nigerians in Canada

34
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>while condemning such a level of tribal and religious division,

35
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I have received a barrage of reactions from people, many

36
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>of who tried to justify their actions. Some explain that

37
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>how comments were in reaction to earlier healthful comments met

38
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>by another Nigerian and reportedly directed at other Nigerians of

39
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the Eco ethnicity, which I also now condemned in the

40
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>strongest terms. As I mentioned then and still maintain now,

41
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>tribal tension and religious division must not be allowed to

42
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 1>grow amongrels. Such divisive and healthful comments and behaviors against

43
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>one another should have no place among girls. We must

44
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>remain one united nation focused on solving the variants of

45
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 1>challenges facing us as a nation. We must unite against

46
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 1>the further colonization of our nation along tribal, religious and

47
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>political lines and focus on finding lasting solutions to the

48
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>challenges of high insecurity, on weariable high cost of living,

49
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and leadership frelire that has continued to weigh us down

50
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>with first in our nation. May we embrace unity and

51
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>peace so that we can achieve true progress, growth and

52
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>development in our nation on one united and peaceful nation.

53
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Shall the new Nigeria stand? It is possible. We had

54
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>earlier reported that the former presidential candidates of Labor Party

55
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>LP and People's Democratic Party PDP, Peter orb and article A. Bobaka,

56
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 1>on last week Friday issued a separate statement to one

57
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Nigerians abroad to stop making negative tribal statements after Simon Epar,

58
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the Prime Minister of Birfrag government in exile, declared and

59
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>showcased the anticipated forty states of birfla dot cut across

60
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the ancestral land of some tribes in Nigeria. Since August

61
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty twenty four, when Simon Epper named the forty

62
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 1>states of the expected Bilfrai Republic, many Nigerians a broad

63
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>out taken to social media platforms to discuss their place

64
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>of origin, most especially the Ika speaking people, Igo people

65
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 1>and the people of Benin. In the hatful, insightful and

66
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>derogatory man are capable of turning the agitation for the

67
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>declaration of Bilfi Republic into an ethnic world. As Simon

68
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Epper declared three local government areas of the present, they

69
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 1>adhosted that have some areas as Eca speaking people as

70
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>Barfra land. Prior to the declaration by Simon Eppa, some

71
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 1>group of people on fifteenth day of August twenty twenty

72
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>four organized a spirst audio meeting on ex social media platform.

73
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>The group during the program displad the caricatural photos of

74
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the ober of Benin and met a lot of derogatory

75
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and insightful statements against the over of Benin, while many

76
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Adore people believed the group where enemies who may have

77
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 1>wanting to cause ethnic crisis between Benin and Igo people.

78
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 1>Simon up a few days after new part of Edo

79
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 1>South obviously the entire Edo Central and Dulnoth senatorial zones

80
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>of Edo State as Bhafar Land. Thereafter, the social media

81
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>and media war moved to TikTok where many Nigerians abroad

82
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 1>have been organizing life meetings full of head speech, threats

83
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 1>to life, abusive and insightful statements. Historians agreed that the

84
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>present day Edo State was formerly by origin known as

85
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>induland letter changed to Godu, thereafter changed to Igodogodo before

86
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 1>it was currently renamed and known as Edo or Benin.

87
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Some historians also agreed that the then Vendal Province was

88
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 1>created in nineteen sixty three from the western region of

89
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 1>Benin and Delta Provinces because of the closer cultural and

90
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>ethnic tized the people of the two provinces have. Likely

91
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>most of the people in the two provinces are indigenous

92
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 1>people of one family, which was politically created and renamed

93
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>as Bandal State in nineteen seventy six and Edo and

94
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Delta States in nineteen ninety one in order to have

95
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a fast share in federal allocation as some other regions

96
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in Nigeria has since divided into states and as such

97
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 1>were having bigger share in federal allocations as in most

98
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>parts of the Delta State. The majority of the clans

99
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 1>of Inca nation claimed to have migrated from the ancient

100
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Benin Empire between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, aiding in

101
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.639
<v Speaker 1>various ways. The first world is believed to have been

102
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.279
<v Speaker 1>headed by a man called Ekka and the land he

103
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>settled in was called Ika Land. The Aka people are

104
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>an Eboyd group found primarily in Delta State, Nigeria and

105
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Edo States, Nigeria. The Aca people have just two local governments,

106
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Ika South and Aca Northeast local government areas of Delta

107
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 1>State and the Banke and Econ areas of ohiom Ian

108
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>one Wan and the Gueban local government areas in Adole State.

109
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 1>The speak Aca, a dialect of the Igo language. Some

110
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of the historians stated Peter or b while condemning the

111
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>ulterances of some Nigerians abroad, said I utterly condemned the

112
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 1>reportant healthful statements and actions attributed to a Nigerian woman

113
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>living in Canada against other Nigerians of diverse origins. Such

114
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 1>divisive comments or behavior have non place in our society.

115
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>As Nigerians, we should unite and focus on addressing our

116
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>shelt challenges rather than allowing tribalism and health to tear

117
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>us apart. I have consistently stood against the polarization of

118
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>our country along tribal, religious or political lines. What does

119
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 1>a nation achieved through tribal or religious bigotry?

120
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Does it contribute.

121
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Positively to development by fixing our numerus, health, educational challenges

122
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 1>and pulling people out of poverty. Does it reduce the

123
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>price of bread, rise gary or young in the market.

124
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Does it improve our transportation system or enhance the electricity supply?

125
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Does it enshore good governance? The answer is a resounding no.

126
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Our priority should be to move Nigeria forward, regardless of

127
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 1>tribe or religion. We as Nigerians must life together in

128
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>peace and love and then show that we enthron leaders

129
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 1>based on integrity, competence, consistency, capacity, character and compassion so

130
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 1>as to overcome our present challenges and move the country

131
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>forward in the right direction. Let us focus on what

132
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 1>truly matters, building a prosperos, united and equitable Nigeria for all.

133
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>We must reject tribalism and religious division and embrace our

134
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>short humanity working together towards a new Nigeria Dot is Possible.

135
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Article Almubaca, while also condemning the ulterances of the Nigerian abroad,

136
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>said as quoted that the contentious virtual chart room clean

137
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>wearing participants man threads of ethnic clacing against the Yubas

138
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and Bning people is unequivocally condemned in all aspects. I

139
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>am informed that the identities of those involved have been

140
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>disclosed and black calls have been meant to the pertinent

141
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement agencies in Canada to prosecute the offenders in

142
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 1>this regard.

143
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I command the House of.

144
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Representatives and the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission for their prompt

145
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 1>and decisive action in addressing this incendiary rhetoric and preempting

146
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>further escalation this this concerting episode on this cause once

147
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 1>again the imperative of uniting our people and our nation.

148
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Our rich diversity is our most cherished national assets and

149
00:09:55.679 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>must be vigilantly protected. Some media reported that the woman

150
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 1>who led the call in a TikTok life native video

151
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>making the rounds on social media that vow to start

152
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.679

<v Speaker 1>her place of work. Have deleted her TikTok account and

154
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>certain Canada government cannot deport her to Nigeria because she

155
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.039
<v Speaker 1>has a Canadian citizenship passport. Simon Epper, while reacting to

156
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 1>the call for her arrest, said, the leadership of pro

157
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Biafran group Belfire Republic government in exile Brgie has expressed

158
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>interest to went into the matter between Nigerian authority and

159
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the Canada based Nigerian woman, a Marca patient Somberga, whose

160
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>ulterances went viral for threatening to her.

161
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yuruba and Edo people.

162
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>While referring to Artico al Bubaka, Simon Epper said, look

163
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 1>at this criminal who could not condemn the killing of

164
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 1>innocent de Bora. Just don't step your foot on Barfa soul.

165
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Until Belfra becomes an independent state the bear our government

166
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 1>will defend AMACA against any action taken by the Nigeria

167
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>terrorist state. We equally call on AMACA to immediately contact

168
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 1>the Bilfra liaison in Canada or anyone with her contact

169
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 1>should contact the Bilfrag government or myself directly. Tak Amaca,

170
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 1>we need her contact immediately. She must not panic for

171
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>any reason. The Canada Beast woman asked people of the

172
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Southeast region of Nigeria, popularly known as Egos, to develop

173
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 1>a weakened heart and start poisoning Yurubas of the Southwest

174
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.559
<v Speaker 1>and Venans of the South South by poisoning their foods

175
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and waters anywhere do see them. Speaking in Pidgin language,

176
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the woman said, recall me very very well, it is

177
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>time to start poisoning the Yorubas and the Venines. Quote

178
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>poison in all your foods at work. Quote poison in

179
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.639
<v Speaker 1>all your waters, so that you all will start dying

180
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>one by one. You people will not die one day.

181
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.519
<v Speaker 1>You people will fall sick for a long time. I

182
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>will put a tapia pier rat poison inside your waters

183
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 1>and foods.

184
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>You people will never get well.

185
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>This kind of hair tred I have for you people

186
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 1>will last forever in all your foods. I will put

187
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a tapia pier as. Others at the meeting reminded her

188
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of other poisons, including it and die sniper. She continued,

189
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I will put them in all your foods. If I

190
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>go to work tomorrow, I will put it poison in

191
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>yourba people's food. Go and tell the government that I'm

192
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:40.679
<v Speaker 1>in Canada. I'm in Ontario. Hurry up, go first. I

193
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 1>will put outpier pier. I will put a warm shore

194
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 1>inside your foods. You will start hearing that your bus

195
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>have died. Then NaNs have died. I'm the one saying it.

196
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 1>I want equals to have a heart of wicked less

197
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>You people are too quiet, you are too cool. Enough

198
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>is allowed if you have a means of killing them,

199
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 1>kill them out of the way because they are too foolish.

200
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 1>They are of no use to society. Lots of prostitutes

201
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.679

<v Speaker 1>origin of i Banking people in Edo State on Ireland

264
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and part of the historical st their reads those Ibanke

265
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:07.480
<v Speaker 1>is located in Ojungwan Local Government Area, Edo State. Igbanke

266
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Bayne is an Ohyongman local government area, but geographically we

267
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>do not share common boundary with any community in the council.

268
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:22.599
<v Speaker 1>From the eastern flank, i Banke shares common boundary with Ambari,

269
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.440
<v Speaker 1>an Inca speaking community in Delta State. From west, it's

270
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>bounded by Ogada, another Ika speaking community in one one

271
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:35.920
<v Speaker 1>local government area in Edo State. In the northern sphere,

272
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Ibanke has boundary with epon Ika speaking community in Igueban

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Igbanke is in Edo South Senatorial District. Igbanke people and

00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Obika et cetera are selfishly scattered in three local government areas.

281
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Another historian posted as documented by Wikipedia, that Igbanke consists

282
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>of six villages which came together from the earliest times

283
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>preceding the slave trade era. The people of idimodi, Ake, Omolua,

284
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.799
<v Speaker 1>olegi Otta, and Iguanto are the villages that came together

285
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to establish their settlement, which over the years has been

286
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>referred to as Igbanke. Wikipedia captured another historian saying the
