You are going off track, I never mentioned Esan tribe or Edo in my post.
What caught my attention in his write up is Delta State.
Where ever the girl is from is not my concern
Lots of EDOID languages are in Delta and Rivers, but that does not make them Edo ethnic group or Edo tribe. Isoko tribe/ethnic group, Urhobo both in Delta state are classified as EDOID . A lot of other EDOID languages are in the region . Doesn’t make them all Edo people .
Not all ethnic groups or tribes or villages/clans speaking IGBOID languages have Igbo ancestry. .Some ethnic groups /tribes speaking lgboid languages have no ancestral roots from awka or any where in lgbo Land.
Even Nyesom Wike in a recent interview described himself as non-lgbo. That the lgbos influence /igbos trade at one point corrupted their true lkwerre language. Not all ethnic groups or tribes speaking IGBOID languages have lgbo ancestry.

. Even Itsekiri tribe/ltsekiri ethnic group speaking a YORUBOID language trace their ancestry from Edo and not oduduwa land. The itsekiri king Ogiamen goes to Edo their ancestral home to carry out some kingly rites. But the language lexical structure and sound is YORUBOID. They bear names like TSOLA, FEMI, etc

Talking of Delta state, Urhobo ethnic group/ Urhobo tribe as well as ISOKO tribe/Isoko ethnic group are classified as EDOID LANGUAGES “. They have a lot of similarities. Eg EFE IS WEALTH IN ISOKO & URHOBO AND WEALTH IN EDO, etc. Aghogho/oghogho are lsoko & urhobos variants for happiness/joy . Edo has Aghogho too with similar joy/happiness translation,etc

But the fact that Isoko and Urhobo are classified as EDOID languages does not mean that all Isoko villages and Urhobo villages/clans 100% automatically all have Edo ancestors from Edo /old Benin Empire.
Lots of Benin influence exists in the Isoko/Urhobo language lexical structure and culture nevertheless but it is an Error to describe every Isoko man or Urhobo man as “Edo people” in terms of ancestry just because they all speak an EDOID language.

Take me for example. I am Isoko by tribe and Isoko ethnic group. Isoko is classified as EDOID language.
My mother is an lsoko woman from lsoko village called IGBIDE(Iwire) IN ISOKO SOUTH. They speak the lsoko language-an EDOID LANGUAGE. But if you trace the ancestral history and roots of lsoko community called lgbide, they are mainly of lgbo ancestral origin, although there was a recent influx of a part of lgbide from Uvwie. An IGBIDE man or even the lgbide king would tell you the ancestors who founded lgbide village came from “INGBIDI” abi “MGBIDI” somewhere in Anambra Awka region. And the lgbide lsoko people trace their origin to lgbo land. Any lsoko man from IGBIDE would tell you they are descendedants of lgbo Land— Their ancestral home. Their borders is not even extremely very far off from the lgbo community they originate from.

My father is an lsoko man from another Isoko village called ENHWE in lSOKO SOUTH. It’s an lsoko village very close to IGBIDE.ln ENHWE, They also speak the lsoko language -an EDOID LANGUAGE. An ENHWE man or even the ENHWE king would tell you the ancestors of ENHWE village/ENHWE clan came from present day Edo. During the time of Edo king Ogiso number 111.Any Isoko man from ENHWE would tell you they are descendants of Edo land. By DNA, roots of Ancestrial origin, they are Edo people just as the lsoko man from IGBIDE village(lwire) who can trace his lineage to (ERU-the lgbo ancestor) would tell you they are Igbos. . A little historical research would finger out about two or three other lsoko communities and one or two urhobos communities who are actually igbos ancestry and not Edo people/of Edo/old Benin origin. Even some quarters/regions in the same villages can have different ancestral origins depending on the origin of the progenitor/ common ancestor who founded the quarter/region & reproduced offsprings there!.

Anioma ethnic group is classified as lGBOID. Not all ethnic groups or tribes speaking IGBOID languages have lgbo ancestry. Anioma ethnic group /ethnicity is classified as IGBOID. The language has similar sounds and lexical structure with lgbo language . But not every Anioma clan/village is of NRI origin (NRI-the Igbo ancestor). Some Anioma people are of OWO/Akure/Yoruba ancestry (eg Ugbodu an Anioma town). Some of old Benin Empire origin (eg lKA south village like Ogebemudien village in Agbor & other villages who can trace ancestry to one of the Benin princes progenitors like EDA, etc ) . Some descendants of NRI.

Betanaija42moro:
This is one of the dumbest write up I've seen in this platform.

You really need to go back to your history book.
First you need to understand the difference between ethnic-group and state.
Delta State is a state in Nigeria, comprising mainly Igbo (Anioma people), Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw and Itsekiri.
Being carved into another state does not change the fact that you are from a particular tribe.
For instance kwara state which is now part of North Central does not make them Hausa people, most of them are yorubas.

Even Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa in a recent interview, described himself as an Igbo man.
This is one of the dumbest replies l have seen on this platform. Please you Biafra people should go and look for Esan Edo and Ekpon Edo and Amaechi Rotimi of Ikwerre ethnic group and Nyesom Wike of Ikwerre to argue with them. Esan tribe/ Esan ethnic group is Esan. Igbo is Igbo.
Even Nyesom Wike in a recent interview described himself as non-lgbo. That the lgbos influence /igbos trade at one point corrupted their true lkwerre language. Not all ethnic groups or tribes speaking IGBOID languages have Igbo ancestry. Some ethnic groups /tribes speaking lgboid languages have no ancestral roots from awka or any where in lgbo Land.
Even Sunday Oliseh in a recent interview did not describe himself as an lgbo man. Besides l have met several Kwale people from Delta .70% prefer not to be described as lgbo. Only a paltry 30% would prefer to be described as igbos.
You really need to go back to your history book and study the ancestral origin of each IGBOID, YORUBOID, EDOID village.
THE itsekiris for example who speak a YORUBOID language, trace their ancestral lineage to Edo state and have no bit of Yoruba history or Yoruba migration. But when they open their mouth to speak their language, you start hearing TSOLA, FEMI, etc and any itsekiri speaker can understand Yoruba language and is thus classified as YORUBOID but that does not make them Yoruba

Lots of EDOID languages are in Delta and Rivers, but that does not make them Edo ethnic group or Edo tribe. Isoko tribe/ethnic group, Urhobo are EDOID . A lot of other Edoid languages are in the region . Doesn’t make them Edo .

Dumbest comment ever.... mentions all IGBO names, but insists they are not IGBO. Tribal lineage is much more than states created by governments.
Dumbest human being ever. Father's land and Ancestors land is more important than any yeye sentiments.

If Yoruba nation seperate, oritse FEMI from Delta state or TEMITOPE from itsekiri Delta speaking a YORUBOID language and can understand the main Yoruba language won't follow them but defend Delta borders his ancestors land !!!! grin
If Biafra break out, Mr Wike Nyesom or Duncan Mighty Okechukwu Wene
or Amaechi Rotimi from rivers Bayelsa or lkwerre man or Ikwerre woman like CHinwo Mercy from Bayelsa or Sunday Oliseh or Ned Nwoko or Ifeanyi Okowa from lka Delta or Esan Edo or Ekpon Edo won't follow the main lgbo aka Biafra people but defend Bayelsa and PH where his father's father and ancestors land is. So you are on your own
P.S
Oluremi Tinubu is Of itsekiri tribe Delta State. And not Yoruba although Itsekiri is considered a YORUBOID language. An ltsekiri man or woman can understand the main Yoruba language. But that does not make them Yoruba .
Even lots of EDOID languages are in some delta state tribes but they are not considered Edo people but Delta people .

No. She is Igbo. Her place in Edo speaks Ika. She said it in the show.
She is Esan Edo State. She is Edo and not Igbo. Her father is Esan Edo. She hails from Ekpon town ,Edo State and Esan by tribe

ln Delta, people from Kwale , lka North East, Asaba, Agbor, Idumuje-Ugboko, and All of Delta North senatorial district in general bear names like Ifeanyi Okowa, Ijeoma, Chukwuma, Chinedu, etc.
They understand lgbo Language and Are called Anioma people.eg Okocha Jay Jay, Okonjo lweala Ngozi, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu(former petroleum minister), etc Nduka of This day newspapers from delta state, Popular Novelist Buchi Emecheta from Delta state, Ned Nwoko from Delta, Godwin Emefiele (CBN Governor) from Delta State,etc

They remain Delta people and not lgbo people
Although they speak an IGBOID language considered dialects of lgbo Language and they understand the main lgbo Language .
Just as Ijeoma from Edo is Edo person and not lgbo just as NWIKE or Mr Wike or Tonto Dike or CHinwo Mercy or Elechi Amadi or Rotimi Amaechi,all from Ikwerre Bayelsa state , are all Bayelsa people and not lgbo people.


P.S
Oluremi Tinubu is Of itsekiri tribe Delta State. And not Yoruba although Itsekiri is considered a YORUBOID language. An ltsekiri man or woman can understand the main Yoruba language. But that does not make them Yoruba .

If Yoruba nation seperate, oritse FEMI from Delta state speaking a YORUBOID language won't follow them but defend Delta borders his ancestors land !!!! grin
If Biafra break out, Mr Wike from rivers Bayelsa or lkwerre man from Bayelsa or Ifeanyi from lka Delta or Edo won't follow the main lgbo aka Biafra people but defend Bayelsa and PH.

Lol

It is possible. You can have a candidate different from your party for presidency or governorship election
It is an offense for people officially registered as members of a political party , to publicly endorse a candidate of another rival party at any level -governorship,president or whatever, or be seen in public with paraphernalia of rival political party , without first tendering resignation from the party.Such a person would be severely sanctioned and in severe cases, can be dismissed!.


Members of a political party are ambassadors of that party and Must represent the party interests at all national levels . Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo supporting Peter Obi of LP ,did not just jump out to do that first , his official resignation from his previous party PDP was tendered before that!

Only members of the public who are not registered card carrying members of any political party thus not affiliated with any political party as political party members, are free to publicly support people of other parties at any levels, say APC governorcandidate, PDP president Candidate, ANPP local government Candidate.
Constitutionally, registered Card carrying members of a political party cannot do that without attracting sanctions & dismissal. Even if they supporting another candidate say president of APC while being registered member of PDP, they do that support quietly without attracting public attention. They can quietly go to the polling unit election day and vote for who really dey dia mind! or quietly send financial support or something.but to be seen in public wearing paraphernalia of a rival party, promoting interests of a rival political party , while simultaneously being officially registered in another political party, attracts sanctions!!!


Sometimes, registered members of a political party say APC for example, might not agree with the choice of the presidential candidate of their party. But they have to publicly throw their weight behind the party candidate, nevertheless or leave the party or keep quiet & cooperate with party activities publicly as long as they are in the party, To be publicly promoting or endorsing candidate of a rival party or putting on paraphernalia, t-shirts, caps, etc of rival party are serious offenses considered as Anti-party activities attracting sanctions, fines or outright dismissal.

all they need to qualify is been born while all my kid need to be disqualify is been born
But your son by law of the land is free to run for presidency, Prime Minister, Governor, etc. Like other citizens Unlike
UK monarchy by law of UK , they are not allowed to contest for politics

Monarchy all them Prince Charles , even if they have abdicated, and no longer feeding on tax payers money, not allowed to contest in UK politics or even be lawmaker in house of commons . When king Edward abdicated and reverted to style of Prince, His sibling dash him Royal Duke of Windsor title to mark him as human being who is born member of royal family and ensure he cannot run for election to British house of Commons nor speak of political subjects in House of Lords.

P.S.
One Difference between permanent resident of a country and citizen with passport ,is that permanent residency are not allowed by law, to contest in Country's Elections. Only citizens with country's passport can unless na citizen royal b-l-o-o-d human. They are disqualified just by being born. Just as your son is disqualified from monarchy just by being born. That is one basic human right your son has as law abiding citizen, that the Royals dont. grin. Your son can run to become the Emilokan president of the land tomorrow if he wants, If d royal blood like make Im abdicate sef.walahi na Im headache no show.

Even Pastor Chris Oyakhomile a whole daddy G.O for that matter when his Pastor wife insisted on divorce , Pastor Chris Oyakhomile gave it to her ! Union was dissolved.Everybody went their ways!!!!


Look at Pastor Ighodalo. His first wife left him in Nigeria and went back to the states. Refused to officially divorce him.Equally Refused to ever come back live in Nigeria with her pastor husband either.Left him alone for several years.her mind was made up no matter what anybody said.
Pastor lghodalo went on to remarry. RCCG dismissed him as pastor and he went on to form his own church.
