Good video. Before I left Nigeria I used to visit Onitsha quite often, my cousin has a manufacturing business there and I use to buy products from their markets as well. We are from Ondo state so it goes to tell you other tribes are doing business there as well. The road network could be improved, it would bring the city out better. Large large market, very good for ambitious, business minded people.
I was born and brought up in Onitsha, All the places shown in this video are familiar and like you said, YES Onitsha people are unapologetically proud and i love them.
Can I say being nostalgic d city I was born nd brought up,left approximately 7yrs ago dreaming coming back really missing d city vibes.welcome home onitsha ado n idu.lovely by sharing this experience..
Onicha was not from Bini rather some Igbos lived in Benin, when Ezechima an Igbo settler had issue with Oba of Benin. Ezechima and family started going back to Igbo land. Please research.
You're right bro, I am looking for this comment. For her information, Onitcha did not stopped at Anambra state. We have Onitcha in Delta state, Onitcha also in imo, and Ebonyi state. It was a dispute between Oba of Bini, even the then Oba was a prince from Ile-ife who visited Idu, and found a very beautiful girl, and she bore him a child... which I assumed must be an igbo girl, you and I know that Igbos are still rating to have the most beautiful girls till today in Nigeria. So when problem started Eze-chima, has to flee with his people downward... During that Exodus, people keep stopping places they find other Igbos, some even refused to move, and prefer to remain slaves in Bini, some still maintain their igbo language, while some did not. So young lady, make a research, if you're truly from Onitcha.
@@brightsoul6299 you lied bro the migration started from ile-ife when they got to benin they settled there after 400 years they had issues with oba eweka what cursed the problem was when the new king was crowded normally when a new king Is installed he normally kill a cow in every of the shrine in benin but he refused to do so at Onitsha ado shrine so they got angry and left benin that is what really happened so don't say they where slaves mad man they are not even igbo when they got to Onitsha they started behaving like igbo Onitsha an Onitsha man has an igbo ,benin and igala blood because igala people are the ones that helped them cross the river Niger
Onicha people did not migrate from Bini. Onicha people were Igbos (Aro or Arochukwu people) that traveled to live in Bini kingdom. Aro people were the travelers in those days. There is an Aro community in almost every town in Igboland. During agha Iduu na Oba (war between ndigbo in Bini led by Iduu and Bini kingdom led by Oba), the Igbo people (Aro people that went to Bini) started coming back. Some of them settled before the Niger, hence Onicha Ugbo, Onicha Olona, Asaba, Ogwashi, etc, while some made it across the Niger to form Onicha (Onitsha, Anambra State). Aro people in the Bini kingdom were influential and contributed to the kingdom. Bini adopted the four Igbo market days.
I am very happy with what you have done. I am sending your video to my friends here since they want to see where I grew up. You have done a great job indeed. Blessings. Can you also make videos of Omagba 1&2, Awada, GRA, St. Mary's and 33 housing Estate etc. Many thanks indeed.
Mabel, now we know that royal blood courses through your veins. Onitsha is loaded with all types of businesses. The video gives a wealth of worthwhile and interesting information.
Nice video, please try and do a video to showcase the Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe Mausoleum. This is a jem that is not being celebrated which I don't understand. Keep up the good work.
Onitcha is really home for all cus nobody da see your face for onitcha. If you get game you go surely succeed here, everybody for here get serious action vibe.
Use to go to Onitsha main market buying some stuffs is so crowd and there is always hold up that make me crazy every time i went to Onitsha. Watching from Us.
I didn't see you passing my area why?I mean the miss elems street through porthacourt road. but I'm not angry at all .I was born and raised in otu nkwo ,i love Onitsha till i die that is my home despite am from AGUATA local government area Akpo in Anambra state And thanks for showing the world the beautiful city of Onitsha keep it 💯 sister And peace out there!
Thank you for you work, l was born and brought up in onitsha in the 60's am glad to see onitsha again after 30 years, you said that it seems that you are taking too much, if you don't talk no body will wacth your video, the issue is that you have to be serious in your presentations.
It's nothing serious. When people make so much money, they call it blood money. In this case, people make so much money from doing business,commerce and industry. So much money that's too good to be true. That's all
Interesting, yes ooo we are the Onitsha’s 😀 My children are the Onitsha’ s actually. They are very proud people, my daughter is already reminding me that I am not from Onitsha, can you imagine? I am from Dalta, just next door to Onitsha,but that is not good enough. She always tells me that I am not even from Anambra , talk more of Onitsha. 😀😀
@victoria I’m proud deltan here but I will say Delta state is better than anambra state and richer too.... 2 airports, seaport, 2 shoprites why in anambra is just having one shoprite amongst the above mentioned ,....
It has come your people and your mouth is sharp. .lol..i watched the video the very first minute you posted it but today I was at working and i remember the statement i couldn't help myself out but just smiles
Like you said, Onitsha should be better. I remember several years ago when I was on transit, I was harassed at Upper Iweka by some guys who asked me of my ID. The way they went about it was scary.
Beautiful city of Onitsha. Shame on Imo state, Owerri is still a glorified village littered with bad roads, filth, dilapidated buildings, refuse dumpsites everywhere. Imo state is equally the most backward state in the east
Please Mrs Ranciz, you don't have to say that those who're not going to watch your video shouldn't subscribe, that's a bit of careless talk that I least expected of an educated beautiful lady like you.
I once lived in akwa road b4 I travel, and one problem with onitsha people is that they usually call we from the same state or south east people igbo and they will deny the are not igbo
Zik in his Odyssey, claimed that his ancestors came from Bini and that Onitsha means Onini= to look down on others to which Ojukwu replied that there are more towns answering Onicha in many parts of Igboland than what he had. Onicha in Ngwa. Ebonyi, Mbaise, Mbano, Ehitte Uboma, Abia, Nsukka, etc. When Ojukwu died Igbo wept but unfortunately for Zik, it was mild. They claiming not Igbo per Chima is even laughable b/c Chima is core Igbo name. 75% of Igbos identify with Ojukwu.
Onitsha can do better than this ! I love the resourcefulness for sure ! But as a city , it needs not go the way of Lagos! It’s chaotic, but that is not the problem, it just needs well built infrastructure and even more importantly, it needs serious maintenance and upkeep!
Maybel has a Royal blood line. You can tell from her bahavior she have the behavior similar to that of the Benin people. And it is the same name she called corn 🌽 that is the exact name the Benin call corn 🌽. That alone will tell you that she have Benin ancestry DNA the Royal people 💝
What if one just love to watch the videos but don't want to subscribe😂😂. I ask bcus i do that alot. I can follow someone every upload but find it difficult to subscribe..
When some of u igbos, i mean the bad ones who want to change people ancestral home.when u hear some igbo speaking language migrated from Benin it will look as if something big fall on ur head. I don't really know what is wrong with some of u guys, so many of u are trying to change the whole narrative and their history. I have never see where foreigners who never know anything about u will now be telling u this man u call ur father is not ur father then he will be describing someone else u just meet as ur father. Some judge because of language deferences Benin kingdom begat so many languages they are bless with that. Even all till now some family in Benin create deferente language for themselves alone. The arrogance In some of u is really disgusting.

@@mrsranciz Blood money has a bad connotation to it when it comes to Nigeria, especially watching Nollywood movies. I wouldn't have used the headline as it will presume people there achieve their wealth via blood money.
It's about metrics and likes subscribe etc. Even if the number is hidden the Artificial Intelligence knows everything thing. Keep going Mabel. Everything takes time.
Onitsha people are the same family blood line with the ancient Benin empire....as a Benin man our heritage is our pride...God bless the OBA of benin issee!
@@victoreloka6394 Never heard of that before. I was told by an elderly Onitsha man about their history. He even said they are more superior than others in igbo land.

@@mrsranciz I think is better to remove the thumbnail cuz not everybody understands jokes and lazy people always use blood money as a coverup to their laziness
Onitsha is not from Benin! if you are from Onitsha it meant you don't know who you're and where you're from! Benin have nothing in common with any part of Igbo land, get this into your skull ok.
Lol! We are all different. We've all got different personalities, different expressions, preferences and different choice of words. You can't keep telling people how to do or say certain things based on your preferences. You find it disturbing but Some people do not mind. Please learn to accommodate.
I hate to hear what just said about onitsha in regards to criminals an investors may run away because of you careless talk before and now no part of is save in area of crimes
