Pls oh, I've been searching for an Isoko movie to watch for a while. I love my movies being absolutely traditional. Epic movies are my preference. The closest I've got are Epic Urhobo movies.

Don't we have any Isoko movies at all? Abeg someone advice. BarryX, Akposy, Cococandy, everyone else - your input pls..

My Dad will definitely know somebody that knows someone that knows the movies. #FingersCrossed. I even intend uploading it (if found) on Youtube, hope copyright issues won't arise though!

I just want to know more about our culture pure and undiluted. And not being told Isoko and Urhobos are "one".

We are not Urhobo - but what makes us distinct from them apart from the language? We hardly have any written records of our particular traditional nuances. The closest I've seen (apart from Ikime's write ups) are a few personal accounts from the British - pre colonial era.

Do we still have elderly "Groits" or Oral historians??

All we seem to do is make concerted efforts to do away with or traditions whilst daftly embracing Christianity. Are we Jews now??

Just check out the numerous Epic Igbo movies online - a people soooooo proud of their culture. What do we have?

We are not Urhobo for a fact but the truth be told, from the scanty pamphlets of archived history that we have read so far. It seem to suggest somewhat that, the clamour for the Isoko nation in the 50's has some apparent political marginalisation undertone probably because of the Urhobos predatory influence on us


Our culture also is sort of "merged" and "heavily influenced". Because almost every community in Isoko have a unique settler. We have some that were claimed to be settled by Igbos hunters, others by the Bini. Seriously, i see no reason why every little community In Isoko Kingdom should have a king, that is not answerable to anybody like Baales to the Obas in the Odua context.

The Origin of Isoko itself as a people tends to be very political (I can very wrong though) and not entirely "cultural". hence the cultural lapses and the Urhobo hegemony. It is now left for us as a people to clearly define a culture totally unique to us (nuances, traditions, rites etc) that we can be proud of. The Urhobos have done a tiny bit in that regard, The Isokos should step up and set a cultural standard for the Urhobos to emulate and not the other way round.

====================

Our history starts now though not the 17th century , because i doubt if that really existed, apart from the whiteman's account of their expeditions. Ikime only documented the few orals history he can lay his hands on at the time.
