Idu (Benin) was a distant misty place. In the Igbo imagination it became a land of fables and folklore and fantasy.

Then why do most Idu people have an oral history of fighting the Oba (Yoruba)..who displaced some of them...
Why do most Igbo speaking people have an oral history of migrating from the present day Edo state... Which I guess might be Idu land which they mistook to be Benin..
