All these families you mentioned no one I not know, Stella OGIDA a one time councillor in Egor was a very good friend, I once married from the edegbe family but backed out because of some reasons. Those uronigbe you mentioned I think you should check their ancestry and watch how they speak Benin language. Some tribe multiply so much that they send them away to Street begging or slavery and that practice did not start today and Benin cannot match that. Just travel out of Benin and see for yourself that even that your large family na one man household just from 2 generations.

I first talk am say you nor be Bini man, Una go dae claim Bini for the sake of Una selfish aim. there are three major dialects in Benin, The central Bini language, Oza, Ehor . Urhonigbe is a pure Bini dialect, if you were a Bini man, you would have known this, I am talking about the fact that the villagers still reproduce like how they do in yesteryears, because of the “localness” of such places. While in the city, it has been modified to subtle polygamy as I have explained before.

That feature of slavery and begging is a feature of the northern people. I pride myself as belonging to a family system where a man will give birth to the number of children he can take care of and he will take care of them. That one that a man will now be giving birth to children he cannot take care of, they are usually exposed to harsh treatment and many of them die as infant or as teenagers. Thereby a man that gave birth to 18 children whereby all of them grow up to adulthood or at most lost one of them, as compared with a man who gave birth to 25 children through 2 women and they lost 9 of them is even or the man that gave birth to 25 children is at a loss. So giving birth like pigs is a factor, taking care of them to ensure that 95% of your 18 children get to adulthood is true polygamy

You call one man birthing 18 children from 3 wives it? My grand father, great grand,and even my father practiced polygamy and so does everyone around I grew up to meet but these women won't birth you up to 10 children at a go in most cases. I grew up in midst of urhobos, Ijaws, tsekiris and I have traveled so many places in Nigeria and I can't tell you that many of these tribes you can't even tell who is senior amongst their children because they can give birth to 4 children in 5 years if they so want to. Even ijaws cover more States than the binis and so does Ibibio and their population continue to surge. My man Go to the creek and see people producing children. That 18 children you mentioned can come from just 2 women and they will add Jara to it for you. The most travelled tribe is Igbo and we the binis hold the second position, but does that stop them from been amongst the too 3 ethnic groups?


I once discussed this with a friend that the way it is, the palace should start encouraging people to give birth. Even our language is fading away. It is only in Benin you will love for 7 years and still don't know how to speak the language. Go to the east, west and North you Will just have to learn even within a year you must be familiar with how to purchase from the market already. You may argue this but it's the reality on ground

that 3 I told you about is about the least I know in my father’s generation, go and ask about Chief Aragua, Ogida and the others, majority get married to 5 wives- 25 children, some 7 some 9 with over 40 children, go to Bini villages in Urhonigbe, Iguobazuwa, Udo, Evboesi, go and ask for the Edegbe family in Evboesi.

Giving birth that way does not mean the Ijaws are more polygamous than the Binis, it is only a function of poverty, giving that way, many of them returns as in fact, (infant mortality)they would want to get more children from two women because they cannot afford more than two while a Bini man on the other hand will get married to 6 giving birth to 30 children.

Even the Binis still practice subtle polygamy, those girls you see in their father’s house with three, two,four kids unmarried, their baby papas are most times married to other women while he comes around to see them and offer financial support and they are in their numbers except you are not being sincere with yourself. Is this not the creek, nothing is there my Ijaw brother

How many family house you go waka enter for Benin 20 - 30 years back and see 8 - 10 children from same papa and mama? But I know many tribes that had that as a bragging right. If majority of the families in Benin were like the Osula family do you know how katge the bini tribe would have been? Benin people nor dey born planty even with the polygamy You mentioned

my brother speak for your family, if you read what I wrote, you will see that 20- 30 years ago, many people did not get married to one wife. The Binis did not get married to one wife and give birth to ten children, they will rather get married to 3 and give birth to 18. I can tell you for a fact that none of my father’s friends that I know and I am familiar with got married to less than 3 wives. If you are chanced I can take you round where I grew up in textile mill road and I am familiar with,let us go from house to house and ask how many children these men gave birth to. I don’t do online talk that is not in consonance with reality .Speak for your family

And also I for one hold the opinion that the Binis are fairly large enough. You can’t really tell of the population of Bini. For a tribe that was 180 thousand in 1952 that has risen to the number of about 3.8 to avbout 4.5 million, I think that number is fair enough, we are by far the most traveled minority in Nigeria. Our figures outside of the shores of Nigeria is scary

You can watch that video, it is a video of Akaba man I watched it and found out that 95% of the callers were outside the shores, they used Bini in speaking, if you are Bini, you would understand it. My brother your opinion does not reflect the reality on ground

Like I have told you before even those Bini men that get married to one wife today have two Babymamas outside that has given birth to two two children for them

Godjone:
The yoruba people cannot migrate from Benin and still be in control of Six states while bini exist only in four local government area

The Binis are in seven local government area not four, local government is never a yardstick for population, even the least numerous of the Bini Lga will take off the most numerous Lga of the Ekiti people, an entirely rural Bini Lga like Orhiowmon where I come from will close in on three to four local government in Ekiti state. Akwa ibom or Osun will be more numerous than Rivers state but that is not the case

Lgas in Edo south are on the average far more numerous than what you will have in the south west

freshkpomo:

An average Benin man does not give birth to more than 3 or 4 children maximum and it has been like that for years. Go across Nigeria and you will see families having 8 to 10 children which seems normal to them. But here in Benin You will be called a rabbit or pig for doing that. It's like saying Greece was not at a time Great because of how it is today and Smaller countries of today that are now Great are a proof that Greece was not in the past Great.

who is the average Bini man when none of my fathers generation got married to one wife. Who is the average Bini man. Is it Bob Izua that has over 70 children or Osula that had over 62 children as at the time of his death. And several other Bini chiefs with large number of children in Benin.

In the last three generations, even what you will define as average , gave birth to multiple number of children with multiple number of wives. Only a minuscule minority gave birth through one woman. So what you term as average is a function of this era where the economy is not smiling. And even at that, many Bini men with means will get married to one wife and have children through other women outside, even the one you termed average, many have children outside. Ask them, many of them have children outside. Speak for your family my brother.

Another factor is bunch of royalties and aristocrats that exist in Benin, we are talking of chiefs, Enogies, wealthy and a little above average Benin men, brothers to the Obas and so on. These people make up a substantial part of the population and they give birth in their numbers. The Osulas, bob izua Adun and several others that time will not permit me to mention here

My father gave birth to 33 children and got married to 7 wives. If I mention my families name, you will know it, some of my eldest brothers are also polygamous in nature today.

I drink ogogoro? where do you see me said warri north is in edo state?

go sleep make de ogogoro clear for your eyes

a low brain nigga that likes feeding on alcohol, those are two different posts made by you. in one post, you said you are from Warri north, in another post you said you are from Edo state

[[/b]

Tukpa8:
edo is not one ethnic state...I am [b]edo too....

warri north is not Edo you imposter

Christistruth02:
Urhobo and Yorubas are definitely related

Eranko means animal in Yoruba and Kpepeye means duck

It is certainly not a coincidence

Urhobos are next door neighbors to Itsekiri, that is the only link they have with you guys, the Kpekpeye is also called so in Edo, their root tongue, so nor form brother where brother nor dae

FalseProphet1:
I see the Federal government merging Edo state with Delta and Ondo state respectively. Cos the IGR of the whole state is way below that of Badagary in Lagos State.

This I have seen.

That popular Igr talk is about the one the local government collect directly. There are some the states collects from directly, Mighty hotels, companies etc around Gra, sapele road and others deal with the state government directly , the local government does not have any business with those

Deadlytruth:
Actually taxes from commercial mortocyclists and motor taxis in Edo State are currently being collected by Obaseki himself. In addition, what we presently have in Edo State are not duly and democratically elected LGA chairmen but Obaseki appointed LGA liaison officers which are unknown to law. When I travelled to my hometown late last year, the okada I took showed me the state government's ticket for the daily tax he pays for plying the roads.

If he already collects the taxes paid by bikes and buses directly, why is he complaining, how else did he expect the local government liaison officials to generate revenue, this guy na ingrate

Bros I don’t think the money, taxes from buses and bikes got to government coffers o, see this video, I just watched it now. shaibu nearly cry

Nazgul:
Has anyone noticed that northern musicians are not as popular as their southern counterparts. We've seen southern musicians pair up with other African and foreign musicians.

But I don't think I know any popular northern musician apart from Zachy Azzy (hope I spelt it correctly) the man that sang withTorchlights those days.

Do northerners hate secular music? 🤔

mi, I’ve prince, Jesse jacq etc are from the north
