Thry are true edos and they sub edos

The true edos are the edos that are less mixed
Edo and esan


Stop this segregation tho...

All edoid tribes such as Urhobo, etsako, esan, trace their origin to Benin..

It'll be bias if u regard them as less

All Edos are Edos irrespective of dialect

Ijebus were tribes before Nigeria was formed

Thief is using corner eye to covet us. We are not one of you, and we shall never be.

The relationship the royal house [of Lagos island] have is a maternally link to Benin through king Ado’s mom.

Binis, be contented with your low-self esteem. cheesy

gregyboy is still the most consistent liar among all my slaves.

Some of them would say Owan, Etsako, etc. are not really Edos/Binis •••

••• because of their confession to conquest and slave-raiding by Ogedengbe.


In the same breath, my slaves come to another thread to say those same people are in fact Edos/Binis •••

••• because they need population for some reason.

What can my slaves (i.e. Edos/Binis) not do to save face??

Literally nothing. grin

You be Goat o na auchi you go then you dae follow me dae nack teeth, it has been proven time and time again that Owan can hear central Esan,(such as Uromi,Irrua, Ewu) because Esan themselves are not one in language, someone will push a truck before a Man from Ekpoma will converse with a man from Ohordua efficiently. There are very few persons who love Edo the way I do and I have taken my time to study these dialects and languages. You will only see them as non Edos if you have a dismissive spirit and a mind made up against them. I have an ancestor from there and as a result in my younger days have been to Ewu, Ewohimi, and Ekpoma. My Father till date can speak fluent Esan. Some of his siblings who are Full Esans can't even speak up to his level. My grandfather is with multiple wives and one of them is Esan,another is Owan and another is Idoma, I grew up hearing these languages. an etsako man in a discussion I had with him about Oyakhilome interpreted the name Oyakhilome at first instance, I was amazed which could mean Oyaghilowmen in Benin meaning suffer nor go use me again,
Na you nor know Benin history Ozolua spent substantial part of his life fending off attacks from Afemai areas,that is Why the Afemai regard him as their father today.
If you want excerpt I can show you where a guy from Okpe(urhobos) was shocked when someone from Esan spoke and he went to meet to inquire what part of Okpe he is from and was shocked


And you had to start with you be goat you that is not goat you still believe izoduwa crap is real why would ever take you serious

I would have taken you serious with this your writeup but then again you're not really smart so you could be missing things up

So sorry bro what you wrote is absolute rubbish.... And it ain't t fact...

If you want to debate it i will call in an esan man and owan man to prove you wrong if they can hear each other


Owan and esan can here themselves... Lol they can hear few words from each other i will understand that

Back to ozolua you know nothing.... Bro

Esigie was the the one who was stationed in afemai waring,

Ozulua. Was station in esan.... And not afemai


People of oza ngogo and oza nisi are more related to benins than afemais who mixed with yorubas, igalas and fulanis

The rest of you all have simply been jumping back and forth with contradictions from other threads.

Anyone willing to show me around just for the 3-day visit?

What population do they have, maybe there is no way I would explain to you without you getting confused, see it has more to do with naming and nothing more, the very comment I quoted was like Edo and Bini are different I had to let him know that the tribe called Bini call themselves Edo.I said by ancestry, DNA and descent, they are Edos, I stated out those qualities, am I in anyway wrong if I say so. Would an Owan man not be right if he say he is Edo if he say so he would because by blood he is. That is why the video you posted pointed out a group of people who genetics traced to Edo. That is DNA and genetics recognized that there is a mass number of people known as Edo by blood.

Please don't say what you dont know
My brother you nor know anything, Owan dae hear central Esan and it is not in contention,
The people Ogendegbe captured were from Owan and Etsako, and Akoko Edo but Genetics traced them to Benin kingdom not Oyo, not Igbo, but Benin kingdom what does that tell you that the mass of this people are Edo by blood, they might have gotten some cultural mix, maybe a little mix but it is far less than the people they met there. Their 'mix' is cultural and maybe linguistic whereby some of these groups take up yoruba as a second language but not by blood in the sense that the influx they received is now more than the Edos.
Don't be surprised,Oba might just be a yoruba man, her fact are Overwhelming, Ekiokpagha treaty is a big blow. At least not only me attested to this fact, Oba recount having something to do with them, whichever way we look at it, he is of the same stock as the Alaafin and many kings in Yoruba . he is yoruba my brother, I have accepted this truth.
My brother, you nor know anything, the Afemai regard Ozolua as their father, it is not in contention at all, he spent substantial part of his life, deterring attacks from that area, no wonder Tao called you empty, there was one thread I argued with her, on one of those excerpt it was there, the Owans have it in their record and we also have it in ours, why you are struggling with this basic fact of history is beyond me.

Migrated from Near of Yoruba may look as fairytale but Yoruba DNA has shown that we cluster with ancestors from Morroco with 12.5 % and 4-19 % Neanderthal DNA from Europe and Near East.

Yoruba of Ijebu if claims origin from Near East is still inline. After all, Esan, Gambia Yoruba, Ewe, Mende in Sierra leone so little form of DNA link via intermarriages. So let Yoruba and face your minority Edo groups.

The African research is because of Yoruba history that has over 5000 research study on,which work taliies with Near East history ,which amazingly shock the Western world because they are looking for the myth as Yorubas.

You see, through genetic research ,Yoruba is gradually being classified as foreigners in their stronghold in Nigeria withhighlyt. Kindly face your minority Edo land and stop misleading yourself or others.

Funny, Bini has never been mentioned specifically on this genetic trend. While Esan has been mentioned .
Mind you, Edos women are highly traveled to European countries ,yet no information as regard this information. Guess what, the Yoruba ancestors were of iberomaursian in Morroco. Tell us, what were your ancestors history from world's perspective ?
