Please, If you are Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani or Hausa - this thread is not for you.... Thanks. Although you are welcome to make valuable contributions.

To the groups considered as minority ethnic nationalities in Nigeria I.e "The Edos, Ibibios, Tivs, Kambari, Itsekiris, Urhobos, Ebiras, Nupes, Kamukus, Igalas, Beroms, Iyallas, Angas, Idomas, Ijaws, Efiks, Jukuns, Annangs, Etsakos, Gwaris, Kanuris, Ogonis, Katabs, Jarawas, Chamba Etc" - I have a few questions for you.

* What is your state and Ethnic group / "Tribe"
* How do you feel about the progress of the Nigerian "project" and the place of your people in it?
* How do you feel / what are your opinions about the major ethnic groups of Nigeria? (aka The WaZoBia?)
* Do you feel your people are being marginalized or are not getting what they deserve from the Nigerian state?

What we have in Nigeria of today is block of tribes, the Hausa Yoruba and middle belt has form an ally, against Igbo and South - south. Soon their will be rebellion from Deltans after the appointment of their son as head of Nnpc considering bashing from Igbo nation.
interest can be change at any time, Igbos feel oppressed and marginalised now, in the future if the clock goes anti clockwise another tribe will be crying fowl. Learn politics it won't hurts you when you are at the receiving end. Igbo kwenu.

Stop Foaming in the moth.
The Edos in this context, refers to the Binis and not the state as a whole, while the Etsakos are the Auchi, Agenebode, people.

Etasako is the LGA not a tribe.
The name of the tribe is "Afemai" meaning my home. Bini is the tribe and not edo.

They are number 4. more than 10 Million
They are actually very numerous in this country, just that a lot of Southerners erroneously call them 'Hausa" , but they are not.

"The Etsakọ people are one of the major ethnic groups in Edo State, Nigeria. They presently occupy three local government areas of Edo State; these are Etsako East, Etsako West and Etsako Central, with Agenebode, Auchi, and Fugar, as their administrative headquarters"

On the contrary, the Afenmai are not a specific people, the Afenmai include the Owans, Oras, The Etsakos themselves and the Akoko Edo tribes (which has numerous sub-groups).

Ijos are not even up to the Efik-Ibibio-Annang cluster,
Ijos are a minority tribe that muster much more political power than their demographics would suggest, due to their resources of course.

That's true oo shocked thanks for pointing that out smiley
Bia scholes,the name Edo consist of
1]Bini.. as the largest
2]Urhobo or Sobo as we Igbos call them
3]Esan/Ishan
4]Isoko
5]Afenmai which include the etsako,akokoedo and others in the northern fringes of Edo state.

According to your map,when did Jekiri & Galla turn into yoloba
Moreover Jekiri was formed through interaction from the Ijoid,Edoid & Yoruboid peoples with the Ijoids having the greatest share yet your people wants to claim them.. undecided
Some parts of igala have been igbonized..so I'd not suggest you coopt them into your "Yorubosphere" tongue
Seriously scholes0 I thought you were learned..based on our arguments the other side but it seems you're one of those brown roof goons loitering about cheesy

Etsako is the LGA not a TRIBE.
Thesame wikipedia you posted still proves you wrong here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afemai_people

W/o wikipedia nonsense, my mother is from Ibie and i was born in Auchi and grew up in Sabo (an outskirt that bridges Auchi and Ibie).

Fulani are not minorities.
but depending on how you want to look at it, the nomadic portion of our population are treated like minorities in Nigeria, because they are not concentrated in one area.

"The Afemai are also known as the Afenmai, Etsako, Estakor, Iyekhee,[1] or Yekhee people....
Quoted from the Afemai Wiki page.
On the other hand, there are no peoples regarded as Yekhee or Etsako in the other non-Etsako LGAs of Edo North, that Afemai people are said to occupy. Such as owan East and Owan West.....
Anyways try and answer the questions if you can, and stop loosing your temper over nothing.
