This is how the mind of a lazy liar works:




First you claimed my people Akoko-Edo were yoruba and to "prove it" you then claimed to have done your nyse in the region. Then when me, an actual Edo, came to cirrect you and your fellow yoruba dreamers, you started claiming to be Edo in order to "prove" your new claims. Also, there is no such thing as Edo/yoruba, this only shows you have probably never been to the southsouth.
You are just one of those yoruba who believe they emulate igbo land-grabbing tactics and turn the fabrication "Delta-igbo" into "Edo-yoruba".
Look, just leave us alone. We have already voted to not be with you guys. Leave our artefacts alone as well. Focus on your own people, especially the ones in illorin.
Where are your proofs?

How I wish you yoruba would stop obsessing about us Edos. Look, we are not yoruba and any of us who happens to speak yoruba learnt it for his or her own convenience.
An equal number of us also speak igbo and haussa for the same reason.
Why can't you guys just leave us alone, what is it with you ?

Untill the 19th century there was no such thing as yoruba and when the term was born, it only meant people from oyo kingdom.

Awolowo and his political group among others created what you guys now call yoruba today. And us Edo are not part of it. Nor are our Itsikiri brothers. We all voted to not be part of the yoruba dominated western region.

The yoruba of today is either a former dahomian, a slave returnee or an oyo, or some other indigenous tribesman who accepted the yoruba tag. We are not yoruba, we are Edo, that is our ethnicity and it predates yours.

Needless to say, Akoko-Edo are Edo (and not yoruba) like their name suggests.
I don't even have the strength to read all you've posted. I'm Edo/Yoruba and I do know better. Check my profile. We are from yoruba ancestry and anybody who tells you a different story is merely giving you a warped version. Shebi you saw all the artefacts which Germans are about returning to us, look at their heads and making, then compare them with Oduduwa's head or statue. Those artefacts are nearly 1000 years old. The slave traders saw them centuries ago and carted all of them away. Believe this or not, all akoko edos, had their roots traceable to bini and binis migrated from yorubaland. Take care

Sun Aug 01 2021

Nigeria’s fastest man, Enoch Adegoke has qualified for the men’s 100 metre final of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after clocking 1o.00 seconds to come second in heat 2 of the semi final race.

Adegoke trailed Britain’s reigning European champion, Zharnel Hughes who won the heat 2 semis with 9.98 seconds.

He had on Saturday defeated the fastest man in the world this year and seventh fastest of all-time, USA’s Trayvon Brommel in the first-round heat.

Adegoke will now compete for the medal later today against Simbine Akani (South Africa), Jacob Marcell (Italy), Zharnel Hughes (Great Britain), Kerley Fred (USA), Su Bingtian (China), Baker Ronnie (USA) and Andre De Grasse (Canada).

You are very delusional. Enoch is striking which gold? Someone whose personal best is 9.98s and just qualified for a semifinal spot.

Over 17 men have run under 9.97s this year. Meaning he has 17 men faster than his time this year and you are talking about gold.

Now I know the problem with Nigerians. It's a mixture of delusion and celebration of mediocrity.

Keep wasting hope on subpar athletes.
If you are not optimistic positive-minded in some of our team's possibility of striking gold, why not just shut your mouth and see what happens in the end? Their performances have shown they're potential gold winners. They competed with World Olympic champions, even breaking Olympic record...what more criteria do you need to measure a potential goldedalist ? This guy has the best score among those who just completed their preliminaries. The lady high jumper, another Nigerian broke another Olympic record a few hours ago, finishing ahead of all other contestants.

The only problem I have with some of you on this platform is you are blinded by tribalism, Nigeria have their law, they will not hand over their citizen to you... If Kyari is American and Nigerian he would been hand over easily, Kyari can not been try in AMERICA take it to market .. if Nigeria wanted to try Ibori he would been extradicted to Nigeria because is a Nigerian.
See how shallow you think. Ibori was extradited, Nigerians had been extradited in the past and nothing had happened. If kyari is found culpable,he will also be extradited to face charges like those Nigerians too. Nobody is above the law. Its only in Nigeria we pamper criminals and deal with the innocent. When hushpuppy was extradited to USA from dubai on the account of crime, nobody shouted tribalism but now that a law enforcer has been accused of breaking the law, you guys aee crying foul. This was the same way PDP cleared ibori in Nigeria before his extradition. He was a member of the ruling party but that didn't save his ass. I'm so happy this case didn't emanate from here, it wouldn't have seen the light of the day. Sorry your man would be made to face the music in the USA and not even buhari who preaches anti-corruption would save him
PoliticsRe: Tinubu Is Not Dead Or Hospitalised - Tunde Rahman (Aide) by Eriokanmi: 7:16am On Aug 01, 2021
One thing I like about Tinubu's camp is that, they know how to manage veritable facts and deceive people with their own version of the story until it gets to a point when the situation is far beyond their control. Tinubu has been ill of late and had traveled out for medical check ups in Europea couple of times this year . I remember the former oyo governor late ajimobi, who died due to covid-19 complications. These same people hid the incident for days,calling him an acting apc chair, even when knew he had already exited the earth. His death was later conformed , days after he had passed. I wish tinubu well but if baba God say him time don come, no amount of lies would cover up the truth forever.

Just in case you don't know, the Nigerian Government will do her best to protect her most decorated officer because by so doing, they are also protecting the NPF. The same way that FBI will not deliver their agent to Nigeria to answer to any allegation, is the same way Nigeria will resist delivering Abba Kyari to the FBI.

Whether edo in it's entirety is yoruba or not, by the time Nigeria breaks up( because we know this would happen in view of the goings on in the country ) , we shall know where they'd lean on.

SportsTokyo 2020:Adegoke Beats 2021 World’s Fastest Man,Qualifies for 100m Semi-finals by Eriokanmi(op):
Reigning Nigeria king of speed, Enoch Adegoke chose the biggest stage in sports, the Olympics to join the exclusive club of sub-10 seconds runners after racing home first in 9.98 seconds in his first round heat to qualify for the 100m semifinal at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.

Adegoke who ran a historic 10.00 seconds last month to win the Nigeria 100m title was under pressure to match the impressive performance of Grace Nwokocha in the women’s 100m after both dominated the Nigerian local athletics circuit like never before and the 21 year old lived up to expectations, beating in the process the fastest man in the world this year and seventh fastest of all-time, USA’s Trayvon Brommel who tops the pre-Games world list with the 9.77 seconds he ran last month in Florida, USA.

Also through to the semifinal is Ushoritse Itshekiri who placed third in his first round heat while Nigeria’s third entrant in the event, Divine Oduduru was disqualified for false starting.

Meanwhile Nwokocha failed to advance to the women’s 100m final after finishing fifth in her semifinal heat with another sub- 11.10 seconds performance, the second in two days.

The 20 year old performance has been remarkable after becoming the fastest Nigeria based athlete since Mercy Nku ran 11.04 seconds in 1997 in Benin City.

In the 100m hurdles Tobi Amusan ran 12.72 seconds to win her first round heat and keep her hope of becoming the second Nigerian to win a sprint hurdles medal at the Olympics after Glory Alozie won a silver medal in Sydney in 2000.

The 24 year old has been drawn to run from lane five in the first semifinal heat at 11.45 am (Nigeria time) on Saturday.
