Deadlytruth:
Akoko-Edo people are not Yoruba speaking at all. Don't let the Akoko tag in the name mislead you into assumptions. In Akoko-Edo the languages spoken are Etuno, Ososo, Okpameri, Uneme, Okpe, Ikpeshi, Atteh, etc and none of them is mutually intelligible with Yoruba. Akoko-Edo languages have alphabets z, v and even the ch sound which are all absent in Yoruba. The Akoko tag in the name doesn't connote Yorubaness but a geographical proximity to the Akokos of Ondo State. Akoko-Edo simply means the Edo people who are geographical neighbours to the Akokos. They borrowed the Akoko tag as a result of inability to agree on a name to reflect their ethnic diversity in the area. You may doubt all these but below are some native Akoko-Edo names which obviously a Yoruba person would not know what they mean;
Okondo, Pendo, Ajimego, Onyonnude, Oyonorifo, Asesho, Ashofo, Emmasealu, Oghene, Agenemeshe, Ozioma, Aviogana, Oshikowa, Lawani, Oyerei, Oremei, Igbelazor, Eneze, Eshioshine, Eshemokai, etc.

Do they speak Yoruba language or not?

baby124:
Why she get Yoruba name? Do some people bear Yoruba name in Usen?

Yes, they are part of the Yoruba speaking Edos. Although, they speak a special Yoruba language, same with Egbeta and Akoko-Edo people. These people shared boundary with Ondo as well.

Usen is Ovia South west LGA please. Its Okada that's Ovia North East. Although they are very close to each other.

Sometimes, I wonder why God created us.

I am not a fan of APC but I think their team is more formidable than that of PDP.
