Please, what are the links between Benin, Edo State and the Yoruba? I have come across some people of Edo decent with Yoruba names e.g Mercy Anuoluwapo Aigbe and am curious as to why this is, or are the names not originally Yoruba? Would like to learn  |

i can't really recall, but i remember a little history.the benin and yoruba people share the same oduduwa ancestral origin, we were told one of oduduwa's son migrated to benin, and thats why there's an oba in benin, the also story is still under contention. |
