Yoruba is not even up to and half of current Edoid tribe talkes of old Edo empire.

rest. Everyone knows edo is a sub minority tribe. Ijaw, tiv, fulani, idoma, urhobo, kanuri are even more populated than you. Everyone knows edo is 100k at most

Stfu. Urhobo is urhobo not edoid. Go to delta state and call urhobo edoid if you will make it out alive

Comon my father is Urhobo but I was brought up in Benin but it did change the fact that Urhobo is Edoid. Apart from that my father people also trace their root to Benin empire so in Origin my father are stil from Benin root.

And also a Benin man can understand Urhobo more than some Esan language like uromi

Your father is from benin not urhobo. Urhobo is not edo

Edo is not speaking by Benin alone in fact they are some places in Ondo that speak corrupted Edoid mix with Yoruba same with Agbor that why you see Agbor do bear the name (Odion) this name is Edoid it means same thing in Benin Urhobo and Agbor

I think what itsekiris need is a demographic/population boost from Southern Yorubaland.
They are being bullied in their own kingdom by slightly larger neighbours because they are at a demographc disadvantage.....

By the way... Ondo and Delta share a direct border... why is there no direct road linking the two states yet? (Hmmn, just checked my map, and the terrain looks impossible).... More Ikales and ilajes need to migrate to Delta and blend in with the Itsekiris.

The ijaws are doing it with their creek camps in Edo and Ondo State, the Yorubas should do the same.

Slightly where, Isoko itself is times two the size of Itsekiri, according to the 1952 census, Itsekiri was about 34 thousand, while Isoko on the other hand was about 74,000 thousand, infact there is no Edoid group that is not bigger than Itsekiri save for Uneme . That same year Owan/Ora was about 48 thousand,

The Itsekiri population consolidated in the years afterwards.
And I said "In their kingdom", meaning that I am only referring to the populations of any of those afore metioned ethnicities within the warri kingdom

The others 'consolidated' too

This is your major point, I get it

Exactly why it didn't make any sense whatsoever to me when I heard three years ago that someone can only be Olu if the mother is Benin or Itsekiri, when we all know that Itsekiri is a Yoruboid speaking group that partially fused their surrounding neighbours.

If this is true, then it is great that the people have gotten back their voice if that is what the majority of Itsekiris want. A king's rule is only validated by the people he rules over.

oba Erejuwa the second wife was actually from egbetta this is the first Olu that married bini woman

Egbeta are not Binis historically.
They are Yoruba people that were Edonised.
