alj harem: Alh Harem A beg leave that side. There are many igbo women who are more beautiful than that skinny lady. A picture of a few women from an E.G. doesnt prove nada. There isn't an EG or race in this world that doesn't have beautiful women. |

Sometimes I have a feeling that some posters like Alj_harem is on NL payroll. He posts 24hrs of the day for the year round. I couldn't describe this as an addiction. |

Nigerian girls look the same to me, Big tits but no bum, Maybe, its because I'm used to them - but no Naija girls has ever made me go wooooow, Naija girls are the most loving, and caring girls out there - and when they LOVE you - you're definitely the luckiest guy alive, Most are faithful as well, and they're arguably the most intelligent and sophisticated black women on this planet, But that doesn't negate the fact that they're not the most beautiful girls in Africa, We need to encourage them to eat more fufu and Amara because their BUM is grossly UNAFRICAN, |

@ezeagu, I don't think you are literate at all, if you are then u will know already that the Edos are more closely related to the Yorubas, they are close geographically, culturally, religiously, Historically, Names etc. I will not only say this but also give u examples. Geographically: Of course you know that a lot of Edo locations are intermingle with some western states. at the Akoko Edo end, you have the Akokos of the Ondos, at the Okada axis there are also there Historically: I don't think you need too much lecture on this go to Wikipedia and check that one out. Lagos was a former colony of the Oba of benin, the work Eko is an edo word, he was ruling lagos from Edo Religiously, like Sango, which is a similar God of Iron, the the Osun, etc The names, there are so many similar names with similar meaning, Segun, Bose, Gbemi, Ogedegbe, Tunde etc I wonder which close ties any Edo man has with an Igbo man. Guy I am an Edo and there is no similarity between us. We are Niger Deltas and if u guys will not take us in We know our roots |

The Edos are as close to the Igbos (historically, Culturally, and linguistically) , as the Igbos are close to Russians. |

Re: Myth or Reality: Yoruba is closer to the Edos culturally than the East is. by stpat1(m): 1:57am On Feb 05, 2012 |
Which part of eastern Edo is close to the Igbos? the eastern Edo is bordered by Delta, Kogi (which is more or less a Yoruba state), tell me where you think Edo has link or border with any eastern state. u might just be educating me u know |

Edo people seem closer to yorubas to me. The men are smoking hot and better looking than igbo men. the women are good looking too. |

alj harem: Cute guy, but . . . I have never seen a nose like that before ever. I would never have guessed his ethnicity. Also looks like he's got some caucasian, obviously. Katsumoto: Katsumoto, were you in a contest. . . to see how many from all over the world? Kilode?!: Kilode is Edo. Now for the rest of the 85% that makes Kilode, Kilode, and the circle is complete. |

stpat1: Thanks for the info! The whole argument from the OP is pointless. If this thread was created for cultural knowledge, it would be purposeful. The Igbo dude just wanted to sever a relationship that had long been established before even our grandfathers were born! Many Edo's have spoken about the cultural ties with Yoruba. Yet the dude keep regurgitating crap all over about some myths in his effed-up head. I once knew a man who told me he was from Ondo but his village was actually split between Edo and Ondo states. He said some his relatives were classified as Edos and some Yorubas because of the line partition. Interestingly, they all answer the same last name -Igbajobi (not too sure of the spelling,) and their first names are like you said regular Yoruba names |

Re: Myth or Reality: Yoruba is closer to the Edos culturally than the East is. by cfours: 3:16am On Feb 05, 2012 |
well, they tend to have have the good looks of igbo men but with the familiarity of the yoruba face. that is just the most perfect combination |

ACM10: Gree. He stays online 24-7 starting problems. I have a feeling either he is Seun with another monkier trying to keep his forum afloat or they are paying him. At first observation I thought he does not have a life thus the reason he's online 24-7 but after carefully observing the situation, damn even ppl with no life rest. No man or woman can or should do this without being paid and if he is not getting paid, Seun you got to start paying him. alj harem:Sade is half caste. For a half-caste, na average she be imo. |

Edos are closer to Igbos. I also learn that Onitsha people are descendants of Bini, so figure it out. |

High_Chief: you smoking weed? |
Re: Myth or Reality: Yoruba is closer to the Edos culturally than the East is. by HighChief4(m): 4:05am On Feb 05, 2012 |
^^^No sir, I dont but do sometimes. I asked an Onitsha friend of mine why they call other Igbos "nwa Onye Igbo" and that was what he told me. |
Re: Myth or Reality: Yoruba is closer to the Edos culturally than the East is. by BlackPikiN(m): 4:44am On Feb 05, 2012 |
There are communities with little Igbo history. Some Esans share a little bit of Igbo history and share Igbo names too. Also you have the Igbanke people who share some similarity with the Aniomas of delta. It's more of 50-50 thing. I have seen Edo people attached to the people of the SE and also to the SW. No biggie. But damn, the topic is really calling for wahala. |
