Dont they have Yoruba's in edo again?




They are not Yoruba. They probably emigrated from Yoruba land but truth be told, they speak a language that isn't Yoruba and a lot of their culture also isn't fully Yoruba.

Yes, many may bear Yoruba names but they can't speak the language and they now have their own languages

Esama title in Benin Kingdom is historically bestowed on an accomplished, upright, wealthy philanthropist. Often required to feed the poor. Which this Esama actually did setting up soup kitchens in Benin in the 1980s.

In the days when fine clothes and beads/pearls were very expensive, an Esama had to be stupendously wealthy. This is because he was required to dress up daily nearly as grand as the Oba.

While the Oba had/has a dedicated Royal Sartorial Guild led by Chief Uwangue of Benin Kingdom, the Esama has/had to finance his own fine clothes/attire alone. An Esama was/is also a frequent emissary of the Oba to big occasions both home and abroad.

He would dress so richly that his oriki/praise name is "Esama whose feet do not touch the mud".

It is therefore not a title inherited by the first son. The Oba selects a deserving philanthropist when the title becomes available.
thank you sir, I know all that and that's why I want to b a philanthropist too

Oshiomole did well to unsit this family from the Edo Government house. Edo state was held hostage by this lineage. Lagos , kwara and likes will sooner or later be liberated from the firm and greedy hands of their captors.


Keep talking trash u hear. How many of ur so called captors have built a hospital and equiped it and pay doctors without even minding the fact that he is not making any profits from it. Ur oshiomole built a hospital like a plaza and left it like that for years.

grin cheesy cheesy grin

That guy face vex me gan gan. 8 years as governor, nothing to show for it.

As much as I respect Sir Gabriel (Knighthood is typically used with first name unofficially, before they accuse me of disrespect), he could have made Lucky leave at least JUST ONE legacy as governor. After all, Esama's reputation helped his son in no small measure politically. But Alas nothing to write home about. Lucky's failure propelled Oshiomhole as governor. All Oshio had to do is do VISIBLY and cosmetically better than Lucky.

ask your grand father or better still ask the ooni of ife. he knows better because the first ooni of ife is a Bini man
Lier...You're saying the otherwise. You need to be learned of the historical facts of the land. Check the lineage which the Oba of Benins came from. I'm sure you'll boost your awareness with that
