Edos And The "Witch" Stereotype -sleeknick by sleeknick: 2:36am On Jul 06, 2015
over the years , there is this stereotype that edos are very witchy. I really don't know y people tend to think about us that way. there is no place that is free of evil spiritual powers Aka "witch craft" I see no reason why the edos case would be so blown outta proportion. to an extent when you introduce yourself as an Edo the next thing you hear is "those witch people". this should really stop. the edos are very friendly people and very intelligent. I just think they are over rated when it comes to the witch aspect.
have you been bewitched or have seen someone who has been bewitched by an Edo person.?
share your experience and your opinion on this issue.

Bros are you Edo? i cannot say categorically of ''witchy'' but I just know about the 'juju' thing.when they say they are into juju/diabolic or stuffs like that.

I served in Ekiti, when I introduced myself as Bini, what I heard was hmmmmm, una get juju ehn !!

First time I heard it I was shocked, cos we tend to respect Yoruba that they are the baba's in that field.

Further interaction n relation with people ,showed that it was really a grounded idea there.

Now civilization n Christianity has actually changed a lot of that. people still think like that cos of past stories.

there is no where that is completely free from such vices though.

what do you want to do with such stories or info? write a book?

Ejo , ema binu , I don't know any stories from the past. Google their history maybe you will see what you looking for. All tribes n states have their vices n stories. I don't know why you are so eager to bring Edo for the public to feed on. it's no big deal though

BTW, did the witches visit you this night? you sound like someone who really wants to corroborate your experience. keep checking you may see what you are looking for!!
