thanks for the intelligent answers although not all were answered I will be grateful if you could give answers to the remaining.
To some of your questions and answers I will make some modifications, don't be offended.

Question you should ask: Are akoko-edo Yorubas? Answer: No
( depends, the word Yoruba was coined in the last millenium that is why other 'tribes' similar to Yoruba will say they are not Yorubas

vonxe:
Question: what tribe are akoko edo? Answer: Edo
( how are they edos, why not akokos?)

vonxe:
Question: Is there a tribe known as Edo
Answer: Yes
(I have limited knowledge in this)

vonxe:
Question: do they have an homogeneous edo language
Answer: yes and it's gradually being taught in schools
( I agree)

vonxe:
Do the Edos have disparity in dialect? Answer: yes( dialect and language is different, dialect comes under language. dialect is a subset of language meaning pple with different dialect under thesame language will be, to an extent, mutually intelligible to each other. how does these apply to akoko edos?)

vonxe:
Does this disparity affect the homogeneity of the Edo people? Answer: sparingly so (sparingly so?!!! when akoko edos cannot even hear each other).

vonxe:
Even though Edo is the most homogeneous tribe in Nigeria culturally.( maybe Edo, but convince me that akoko edos are Edos )

vonxe:
now answer mine

vonxe:
1.yes, a lot of edo pple bear Yoruba names
2. they both serve almost the same gods
3. they inter marry a lot
4. in terms of culture some part of edo are almost similar to some part of Yoruba land e.g akoko, owo, ilaje, and slightly Ekiti.
5. some parts of Yoruba land also have slightly different culture
6. some akokos in ondo state don't speak Yoruba but they are generally classified as Yoruba because of ancient history, if I may ask what is the history of the akoko edos?
7. I read from history, you can confirm, that Yoruba language was made compulsory in edo schools until ogbemudia stopped it, don't you think that might have had effect on your grandfathers/Fathers?
8.I read, you can confirm, that the akoko edos all have different languages, a distance of few kilometers speak different languages (not dialect), how do you inter trade amongst yourselves?
9. do the village illiterates amongst you, akoko edos, believe yorubas are your brothers. Am not talking of few educated in the cities who might have been cheated, fought and possibly developed hatred for the yorubas?
10. lastly, are there villages/towns who believed they are pure yorubas?


IMO ihatepork is just being brutal and harsh with the truth.
ihatepork pls this is for you
1.Do itsekiri consider themselves as yorubas -- No
2. Do they speak a part of Yoruba dialect -- yes
2. Do they recognize yorubas as their brothers having the same ancient history -- yes
3.Do itsekiri have the same culture as yorubas -- No
4. The point am making is that akoko edos are free to decide what they want.

safarigirl:
Nacho IS our False 9. He scored two goals in out World Cup qualifiers. One of those two against Zambia, and that was the deciding goal. How many did your CFs score?

Somebody with 8 goals in 14 games, when last did you have ANY CF with that record irrespective of the games played?

You do not have any capable replacements, that is the sad reality here. We are not Spain or Germany or France, we are Nigeria.

This is the same rubbish fans did four years ago and we packed useless players to Brazil to disgrace us. We are doing the same thing again, thinking we are trying to make the team better and we will just fail again

You think you have higher stakes in this team than the players? Their careers are on the line, your own is just useless pride that is on the line.


There are also reasons Mikel was on the bench against Chelsea, but he was playing well enough for us. Victor Moses was also a bench chopper when he was playing fine for us, hell Iheanacho was actively chopping bench when he scored a goal and gave two assists against Argentina, downplay it all you want, but if the team had lost, your mouth no for dey twist like this.


There is nothing worse than fickle fans, they love you today and crucify you tomorrow. It is a shameful behaviour

omololu2020:
GUS was held twice in Edo state, I'm sure you know that?

omololu2020:
you mumu,there it's no tribe called Edo,Edo state was created by the military regime,and it's made up of different tribe

Edo state was created by the Nigeria military regime,in fact by 1960 there was nothing known as Edo state.

And we have some yoruba towns in akoko-edo,towns like ikakumo,anyonron,one etc

Back then,One of the GUS was done in Edo state,akoko-edo to be precise,and the indigenes of the village there said,their fore fathers were from ife.

Speak about what you know and stop been dumb.

omololu2020:
please can you show me 5 or 3 articles where Yoruba kings lay claim to akoko Edo,or Edo state

omololu2020:
very few and ignorant yorubas claim binis as Yoruba's, Yoruba need nothing in Edo state,except Yoruba lands in Edo.

There it's nothing in Edo state that people will wanna claim the state

aremuforlife:
The major problem we are having is that we are only looking at it from one anlge which is language. Don't forget that we can be differ in language but also have the so many things in common. If only you can proof why the similarities in your deities to your deities because i discovered that the Binis and Edos ways of Worship is the same. The same ancestors in Yoruba land are the same in most of this land. So why are we trying to make something out of nothing.
If Nigeria where to be divided by region which region do you think your elders will follow.

verydark:
exactly.dont allow them to play games with you and your people.

omololu2020:
there are also Yoruba land in akoko Edo,so be sure of what you are saying, and no Yoruba gives a Bleep about your people

verydark:
well.i dont know about that.me,i only know am not igbo and am surely not becoming biafran.

they can forget that idea.

verydark:
they call me yoruba too.

and am urhobo.imagine.

then they ask me to prove it.insults upon insults.

verydark:
and i repeat.

it will not matter.

those trouble makers online care only about major tribes.whatever that means.

in their minds only hausa fulanis,yorubas and igbos exist in nigeria.the rest are minority tribes that should fit themselves into the major tribes.
I
thats reality.sorry.

verydark:
op,what you think over yourself is important,not what others think about you.

its good that you are saying something.let your voice be heared.dont allow them to put you in a category.

verydark:
it will not matter.people will still call you yorubas because you are in west near yorubas.

you cant demand from us to exactly know all tribes in nigeria.thats like learning mathematics.keep your peace and move on.

verydark:
what do you want from us.?

their are over 200 tribes in nigeria.how do you expect from us to know all of them.?

pcgist:

I am not saying Mr . Mimiko was a bad governor.
But why build an edifice when you are owing civil servants salary?

Ultra modern marketsbare good, but at what cost to the market men and women?
Was the allocation of spaces properly handled?
Are you privy to the details of sale or lease of these stalls?

Sometimes, some some projects just bring hardship to the people, if you dig deeper you find out market women pay huge sums.

Whats is even ultramodern in stalls and lockup shops?
have u ever been really hungry and noticed a beautiful market?
Even in the uk, markets are in dermacated areas, grounds covered with asphalts and stalls built, easy....
You shoukdnt even compare Ondo and Osun, because of the available manpower and resources available to them.

Please undertand my point, I am not against governmental policies, but am against wasteful spending, against elitist project that have little or no effect on the people.
Against aesthetics that can't reduce hunger, have u ever been really hungry and noticed a beautiful market?

ArcFresky:
Maybe he did,
And maybe he didn't.

But can you explain the essense of an expensive events center, when you cant pay salaries.

Or better still how will having waterfalls benefit the state apart from its aesthetic value, it would have been better to build a statue, and and reduce recurrent expenditure.

Maybe agriculture was good, but some other things dont make sense, like ultramodern markets? What's ultramodern about stalls and lockup shops.
Infact govs squandared resources, I remember when mimiko first came in, and was demolishing roads and side walks agagu built, just to plant flowers?
Which sane person will do that?


The point am trying to make is to invest in the future, invest in Education, agriculture, infrastructure (not event centers ).
Not employing more civil servants, not building markets that will be selling goods imported from Lagos.

If Morata is at the gate of Heaven he will still miss the Trumpet..

If u sabi u sabi abeg..

ArcFresky:
Might look like a mistake now, but in the future, everyone is sure to praise the argebsola.

Instead if expending more than 80% of revenue on recurrent expenditure, the man chose to build schools and roads....thats thinking ahead.

Better than govs building statues e.g okorocah.
Aerodome event centers; mimiko
Flyover when there is no traffic; fayose
And a lot of elephant projects that add no meanings to the lifes of citizens.

iblawi:
I was only correcting the millions of tons statement you made not the country. The graph we used are from different sources and of different years so don't expect the same result.

iblawi:
Add the thousand of tons at the bottom of the graph to the number on each bar and you will see they are all in millions.
