Edo language and Esan are different. You have a high chance of speaking Edo to an Esan person and s/he'll understand, vice versa is not always assured.

I can't type it verbatim but I'll give you something close. My spelling is obviously terrible because I am about to anglicise a language I'm familiar with only in spoken form.

"a shan, meh lu" loosely translates to "go [away], I'm not doing again.".

There a lot of movies and books. An online reference literature? No, I can't say I know of any.
