Edo pikin no dey ever dey calm never ever

My wife is very calm normally, but when you provoke her she turns something else.

She nor dey hear "e don do"

The day wey I see her vex for the first time na when we dey school.......The girl wey provoke her run from hostel o. Na community chairman later resolve the issue.

The old Benin city was Yoruba but the present one is not. That is where the confusion comes from. Your ancestors did not live inside the old Benin city

Exactly my point. They was never a time Bini was Yoruba. We are distinct people and that must be respected.

It doesn't mean their men are lazy or predominantly lazy.

No uncles , aunts to ask?

They all are saying they don't know. I don't know if they're feigning ignorance or they truly do not know.

Or maybe they don't want us to find our father's people.

I've even tried going to the school in Lagos where I did a few days in JSS1 b4 my parents passed but they said they couldn't help since I didn't even do my Junior WAEC there, let alone SSCE.

The nursery school we attended then, I've searched for it online, no records of it.

That's one of the places Op got it wrong.
Their defense is attack in that side.

Bahamas95:
My mother-in-law always cracks me up whenever she speaks; her thick Benin accent is so funny.


My wife’s accent isn’t too pronounced, but whenever she wants to tease me, she deliberately pronounces some words the Benin way. She knows I’ll react ----once I give her a bombastic side-eye, she laughs and corrects herself immediately.

You have to stop intimidating her and allow her to feel free.

Edo State where f#uk up no dey sour

I dey tell you.

When I served and worked there briefly, I learned the hard way. 😬

tyinfinity:
You forgot to mention osawaru osarume
Upper sakoba
Italian connection

All these names you people are mentioning here are the easy ones.

Some of their names have up to 21 alphabets. 🤣

The great Yoruba Ethnic Nation will forever be greater than you in all ramifications, there's absolutely nothing you tiny edo can do about it.

TheWebbers:
Na only number 10 make sense.

The others are attributes found in plenty tribes in Nigeria.

And number 10 isn't?

coputa:
Do you mean the men aren't hardworking, I also heard they have many landladies too

I didn't say so, just that their women are not the docile stay at home type, most are the ones who bring their family out of poverty

The people that lived in Benin even 250 years ago were no different from the Itsekiri the Olukunmi the Owo or the Ilaje. They didn't see themselves as different from the hinterland Yoruba and your ancestors obviously did not mix much with them. The other Edoid speaking people mixed with the Yoruba more than the ancestors of the present day Benin but the present day Benin have taken over the new city of Benin.
Now there are hundreds of not thousands of Benin stories in Yoruba history contained in the ifa corpus, you should therefore not expect the Yoruba to forget or overlook all that just because the current majority language of Benin city is a strange tongue to them. Would you? So that is the issue. Outside all that, it is quite obvious that current Benin people are not Yoruba. They are the least affiliated to the Yoruba of all western Edoid groups

Osariemen12:
If there is anything I want to change about my people, it is our geographical location: I hate the fact we are bordered by the Yoruba race in the west. The other people I have boundaries with - Itshekiri, Ijaw, Anioma (Igbo), etc, are cool people.

Why does that bother you?

Slippy:

Na warri be una father, their pidgins sound more confident and jovial . Edo na just tradition rooted in ancient kingdom

Nteogwuija:
Anyone knows where or how I can trace my Benin root? My parents died when I was about 9 yrs of age, that was around 1999. My mum's family were the ones to come to us first and took us to Rivers State, changed our surname to theirs.

I know how my real surname is pronounced but I have forgotten the real spelling. And I believe knowing the real spelling would be a starting point in helping me locate my root.

Just spell it anyhow, I will give you the correct spelling. Why not ask your mother's sisters or siblings about the village your father is from , I can help you go to the village or quarter and trace it. But you will need to pay for transportation to the areas. Try spelling it lets see.

Are you saying the women in these areas are the breadwinners, or are you saying women in Edo are the bread winners?

you are wrong. No Edo burn man will allow a woman to feed him, it a taboo
