wait a minute but Urhobo people are Edos even the language.
In my opinion, Urhobo, Isoko, Bini, Eshan should come together and form A Big EDO TRIBE.
why are you guys dividing yourselves?

Strange. Are you Oza? The Oza I know is more or less a dialect of the Bini language.

And yeebos go they behave like say they be d only tribe for 9ja, always shouting marginalization, even the hundreds of minority tribes do not disturb and make noise the way yeebos do.
