Strangebuttrue:true. Just that as they arrived after crossing the river niger they met igbo speaking neighbouring communities, and owing to long term trade and marriage with them, they were assimilated into speaking igbo since they were surrounded by igbo. Bini is hundreds of miles away. In onitsha the original Onitsha indigenes refer to igbo people as “onye Nwa igbo “ and it means “you this igbo person” and funny they say it in igbo. They speak igbo and understand and speak no other language and accept they are igbo but they know their ancestry is bini 1 Like |

LOL. The aboriginal occupants of Inland Onitsha were an Igbo subgroup known as Oze people. The Waterside was occupied by some immigrant Igala fishing people called Ulutu/Mgbelekeke. |
