Stop fooling yourself. They were all inferior to Binis because at the apex of the Benin kingdom was the Benin royal court and chieftain followed by the Benin people. That is why Benin did not allow any other traditional ruler in that area to bear OBA as a title. Something they themselves got from the Yorubas. That is why they would use urhobos as human sacrifice and why they would sell Afemais into slavery.

The entire Benin court culture was imported from Yorubaland. Oba as a word for the paramount ruler DOES NOT exist in any Edoid language but Benin. What you will see is Ojie, Ogie, Ovie Etc... and even in Benin there are still two words Oba and Ogie.
A Benin troupe still performed 'Ijesu N'Ogie' or 'Jesus is King' at my company's december gala. That is the default word for king in the Benin language EXCEPT when they are specifically referring to the palace court of the Omonoba which then they use 'Oba'.

Stoopid.
So Benin colonized Yoruba and Yorubas adopted Oba, but the neighbouring Esan, Afemai, Isoko, Urrhobo people that speak similar languages and share similar customs from the start coud not adopt it? lol.
[s]Oba is a Yoruba word planted into Benin just like many other Yoruba traditions and Vocabulary now replete in the Bini language[/s].

Those tribes you mentioned were not inferior, they were part of Edo the Benin Empire.

Argue with your ancestors

Association of name checkers

17 I-pigs
3 Yoruba
3 hausa

Buhari is responsible for this.

He has given to money meant for Nigerians to Hausa and Fulanis in Northern Nigeria alone.

I believe those Hausa people among them are Hausa Christians who were not given any money.

Buhari is a religious and ethnic bigot.

The Benin Empire colonized the YorubaLand so the Yorubas adopted the tradition of Benin people.

Yoruba people in Togo went as far as renaming their country from Dahomey to Benin Republic.
