O.p is talking about Akoko Edo and Yoruba people but you still found a way to Rope Igbos to this thread
Are you guys cursed with Igbo?

I don't really blame Y'all,not your Faults at all,I blame IPOB,without them we won't have nonentity tribes trying to act like without them we are not gonna survive

That's tsdarkside.

A well know YORUBA on this forum desperate to be Urhobo. He's been beaten blue and black by his desperate attache by force including by the urhobo he constantly attache to. The dude is just EXTREMELY PATHETIC!!!! The only reason he tried to rope igbo into this is because the op called out his Afonja tribe and he wants to get the attention away from his tribe and start an igbo vs minorities argument. He always does that and it always fall flat in his dumbass face.

Never seen an animal as useless as that tsdarkside/verydark/ all the numerous id the goat has. He has ZERO SHAME!!

GUS was held twice in Edo state, I'm sure you know that?


In your initial post, you said Akoko edo. Well, you are right that edo state hosted it twice. First one was in Benin(NIFOR) and the second one was in my village.

Yes of course Adamawa is also located in the east. I was in Calabar one day and someone told me she was traveling down to the east(Onitsha, Anambra State in this case). I just laughed. The ignorance in Nigeria is as tall as the heavens.

It amazes me that almost everyone on here refers to my people as being Yorubas. Is it because of the name "Akoko?".
Please, note that the major languages in Akoko Edo are:
Okpameri
Uneme
Etuno
Ososo
And a very very tiny % of Yorubas.
Akoko-Edo isn't a Yoruba land. Yes, we have Yoruba influence and it shows in our names and all that. But we very different both culturally and in terms of language.

I therefore implore you all to stop calling my people Yorubas.


PS: This does not mean we hate the Yoruba people as they are our brothers in the same geographical contraption called Nigeria.

Mynd44, Lalasticlala, please help us educate others.

Nice Work my brother!

Don't stop refuting thier falacy until your voice is heard loud and clear

And it shall be so!!

It's just few shameless Yorubas with inferiority complex that do that nonsense. Other than that, Yorubas in general do not give a rat's ass about Edo. You people are the ones copying our names and giving people the impression that you're yoruba. Maybe you should start giving yourselves names in your language instead of Yoruba names

Why do you keep talking as if you were an insider. How can you, a non Edo claim that EDO are giving yoruba names to their children ?
Did Edo give yoruba names to the Bight of Benin ?
Did Edo give yoruba names to the Benin River ?
Did Edo give yoruba name to Omo n'Oba n'Edo ?
I am speaking as an Edo, where in hell are you yorubas getting all these stupid rumours which you keep throwing at our faces ?
If you want to learn about us then ask us questions ! must you guys be so dumb ?

In the past few months, I've seen Edos bearing names like Kayode and Folorunsho. A thread even made FP today and the Edo guy had a Yoruba name. If you want me to give you links, I can. I'm not claiming it, it's a FACT. Muhammad Yusuf that just got married to Maupe Ogun is from Edo state. His middle name is Bamidele

And me not being Edo doesn't stop me from stating facts so shut the fvvvk up.. All that bight of Benin and Omo Oba nonsense has nothing to do with my post. You're just drifting like a typical asshole. You haven't answered the question.

Lastly, I'm not interested in learning about your ethnic group and culture.. Wtf is there to learn? grin cheesy.

This thread was opened by an Edo who got fed up of his EDO people being called yoruba.
He is merely educating people about his origins and you have nothing to contribute here, off you go !

I think the point being made here is if you insist on answering Yoruba names, then if people mistake you for Yoruba they would be making an honest mistake. I have only met one akoko Edo lady in my life. She bears a Yoruba name, so do her children. And speaks flawless Yoruba. I always assumed she was Yoruba.

It seems I need to repete once again: We Edo do not bear yoruba names.
There are yoruba who bear hausa names.
There are yoruba who bear igbo names.
There are yoruba who bear chinese names.
There are all sorts of people in this world who bear funny names.
It is not a policy of the Edo to bear yoruba names.
I know no Edo who bears yoruba names, eventhough I know some Edo who bear arab names.
The habbit of muslim Edos from Auchi is to bear islamic arabic names, the habbit of christian or non muslim Edo is to bear Edo names and an
Anglicized (often biblical) name.
It is kind of annoying that this single point can't get into you people's heads.
Akoko-Edo are Edo not yoruba, so stop making all your stories up !
I have said it before, instead of trying to tell us Edo what our culture is, ask us about it! for God's sake you can't possibly know us better than we know ourselves, stop thinking upside down !
An other thing which I find annoying with you guys is that any name which is shared by yoruba and Edo is assumed to belong to yoruba.
The word Oba belongs to Edo, it is the title of the Edo king. And that was copied by others (yoruba). The word Benin belongs to the Edo and that was copied by "Benin republic". Edo are not known for copying others, it is the other way around.
Even the bids which the yoruba chiefs are now wearing: that is also Edo culture. It is those same bids you see in every nigerian native marriage nowadays. Edos don't copy, we have a rich culture which others copy.
