Great Edo. Una no see am, no matter how we dey bicker and fight, all na for the greater good of the greater number. Some no go understand, but naim make dem never fit stand. But those that identify with the roots, na up naim their stars go dey shoot dey go. Great Edo, no matter the lingua, I still call you my brother, even if the name na Franca, if you be from the homeland, you're still my sister.

Great Edo, na one we be aaight

Dimka that was a nice one. Londoner that clip was hot.

That clip should be preserved for posterity. Sadly our children will only see them on Youtube. Gone are the days when as a young man I would listen intently to where such sound was coming from and run like Ben Johnson to join the fun.
I thought it was against our custom for women to watch those acrobatics? Hahaha times have changed indeed. Great clip and thanks for the link.

Edo people una doo o! Bodiaye? I'm from Ekpoma. Edo people are very warm, funny, witty, full of life, I guess thats why we're called the heartbeat of the nation. Despite the problems in our state, our people always find a way of making themselves happy and living life to the fullest. We excel and continue to excel in different areas. Edo people are smart and intelligent infact notin do una

@tete,
why we dey call EDO STATE Heart beat of the nation bi sey,
Any time people dey cross Edo state, dem HEART go dey beat, because dem dey afraid make THIEVES or
ARMED ROBBERS no come ROB them.

It is because Edo State is a gangster and hustlers State. It's the State where it all happens. You don't have to speak any Edo language to survive

the state, all you need is your pidgin english, and you are on. It's either you love it or hate it.

Edo nuwa, wa koyo o.

I'm from Etsako East LG, Agenegbode.One love

my boyfriend is from Edo ( thos he's fucking up now) but he's really a great guy and respects himself n odas most of the time. I 'd love to know all Edo guys r like dat. peace to Edoshians or what u guys call urselves.

This is a wonderful thread going on here. If you’re here to discuss the issues affecting us Edos, i.e. Edo state, please stay put, but if you are here to discuss personal issues (Tribal Sentiments), it will be best that you leave, and let those of us who feel very strongly about our state discuss and talk about the things that affects us all.
TOPIC: Please talk about the present Govt. and what good he’s done since the inauguration of his government. The last time I was in Nigeria, and was in Benin City the capital, the city was such in a deplorable state that I had to go and live with a friend in Abuja. I was told that the Oba was also conniving with the then Obese Governor Igbinedion. All hands should be on deck. We should not sing the praises of those who have thrown this wonderful state into chaos. We are not called the heart beat of Nigeria for nothing; we were so named because all parts of Nigeria are included in the state. The major tribes: Ibo, Yoruba, and Hausa, and flair of the wonderful people of Edos. We are always peace loving and very unassuming. But being peace loving is now been used against us by successive govts, to them, we are scared to talk and act, which invariably seems to be the case. For Edo state to be the most underdeveloped state in Nigeria is abysmal to say the least. We do not need any Oba to tell us what to do, but a good government to give us what we need and want: good roads, good pipe borne water, and salary for the hardworking people of Edo state. The only good thing going for Edo state is our past glory. The good work of the two former governors, Ogbemudia and Ambrose Alli who was highly hated by the binis for taking a university to Ekpoma. If he hadn’t done that, we would have been left with only UNIBEN today. We now know the good work Alli did. We were unable to question the governor who pillaged the wealth of the state and made them his. The good and wonderful people of Edo state should speak out please, for if don’t, we may be scared for life. “You only live once”. I have had to stop going those Edo conventions Kojeiwa talked about, because nothing of significant importance is always discussed. When you try to talk about the failing govt. in Edo state - -they almost in unison shuts you down which is pathetic. After those years of Ogbemudia and Allis administration, the state is worse than what it used to be 20 years ago. What progress have we made? Absolutely none.
We should use this medium to send a strong message to the present Governor that we will no longer lie low again! We do expect the best from him. He is an intellectual and a law professor at that. The state allocation from the Federal Govt should be used wisely and not to line people’s pockets as Igbinedion did. “A word is enough for the wise” I will leave you my people with these little sayings of our elders:

“WHERE WE LOVE IS HOME--- HOME THAT OUR FEET MAY LEAVE, BUT NOT OUR HEARTS”
“FREEDOM IS A POWERFUL ANIMAL THAT FIGHTS THE BARRIERS, AND SOMETIMES MAKES PEOPLE WISH FOR HIGHER FENCES”
“START BY DOING WHAT’s NECESSARY, THEN WHAT’S POSSIBLE, AND SUDDENLY, YOU ARE DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE”
Thanks Kojiewa for this wonderful thread.
May the Almighty God be with you my Edo people in particular and Nigeria in general.

Currently visiting Benin-City for the weekend and Osh Kosh Bigosh!!!   The place is an eyesore!!!!   This ancient city of red sands is just as appalling as the name "Igbinedion"!!!!!


May God help us all!!!!

UNIBEN looks fine!!!!!  GREAT UNIBEN!!!!  God bless VC Anaoh and VC Nwanze  No more okada riders in my alma mater!!!!
