igboland for example is not realy in the south.they are more to the east.

but you will always ear them talking about ss & se.

military goverment tried to solve this issue.but they are sooo resiliant that they called themselves south east to still clinge to that nonesense old eastern region.

i stopped calling my self south south.because i know the games igbos are playing.

am south,they are east.simple.
your brain is fermented ...simple

its good that you are saying something.let your voice be heared.dont allow them to put you in a category.

Illiterate person! Where is Cross River and Akwa Ibom? You need to study geography and not the political geography we have in Nigeria.

Place a compass on the map of Nigeria and tell me where east is located.

The real Easterners are the Akwacross people.

you mumu,there it's no tribe called Edo,Edo state was created by the military regime,and it's made up of different tribe

Edo state was created by the Nigeria military regime,in fact by 1960 there was nothing known as Edo state.

And we have some yoruba towns in akoko-edo,towns like ikakumo,anyonron,one etc

Back then,One of the GUS was done in Edo state,akoko-edo to be precise,and the indigenes of the village there said,their fore fathers were from ife.

A non Edo wants to tell me who my Edo people are ? Are you guys not tired of these kinds of sillyness ?
Who is talking about tribe here.
Look we all have our different histories.
While your yoruba people were living in forrests like animals, we the Edo people had an advanced country called the Benin Kingdom which traded with europe and fought against colonisation.
You can't just walk into a land you know nothing about and start telling the owners fairy tales about their origins.
Proof of every details of EDO history is available for all to see:

Some ancient maps of Benin Kingdom:

This one dates to around 1699:

An other map of Benin made in the 17th century once again:

An other map of Benin from the 17th century:
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8595583b.r=Benin?rk=193134;0

This one date to the 19th century:

An other map from the 17th century:
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8595527q/f1.item.r=Benin.zoom

Many of you guys keep confusing Benin City with Benin Kingdom. Benin City is the capital of Benin Kingdom.

By the way, since when is yoruba a tribe ?
the name yoruba itself didn't appear until around 150 years ago.
You guys are just a bunch of tribes trying to claim unity.
The Edo people are much closer to a tribe than the very different yoruba peoples many of whom are actually EDO (Lagosians, Ekiti people, AKOKO people in Ondo, Itsikeri ...)
omololu2020:
you mumu,there it's no tribe called Edo,Edo state was created by the military regime,and it's made up of different tribe
Next time when you don't know the history of a land, don't assume that your ignorance is shared by the owners of the land.
Ask the owners about their history, don't just start making stuff up.

I can see you are a very silly and dumb Edo boy,your useless state it's one of the most useless in the south filled with prostitutes and cultist,go and check the history of ife,iloba have been ruling ife
before your useless tribe has an oba ruling over your small enclave,yeye tribe that it's only found in one state.

I don't have time to be clicking on the useless nonsense you put up there.

There are IBO land in Edo state,ijaw land in Edo state and also Yoruba land in Edo state,so you can keep on ranting all you want.

This it's my last reply to you cause you are so clueless and dumb

1) You can't provide any proof to your claim.
2) how does your claim relate to yoruba being created less than 150 years ago ?
Besides yoruba only meant oyo people, it has nothing to do with what you are trying to call yoruba today.

If EDO is not a tribe then yoruba and igbo are certainly not tribes. The Edo people have much more in common than the different yoruba peoples and the different igbo peoples.

what proof do I have to give to a mumu that see Edo state as a tribe,instead of a state with different ethnic group
Re: Why Do Nairalanders Refers To The Akoko-edos As Yoruba? by Nobody: 8:40pm On Jan 08, 2018
you could start with providing proof that you have a brain.
It seems you think that because Edo-state is a state, therefor the EDO must not be a tribe.
Can you see how foolish your reasoning is ?
Do you even know that the actual title of the Oba of Benin (an Anglicized title) is Omo n'Oba n'Edo ?
How can you claim yoruba to be a tribe and EDO not to be one ?
The Edo have much more in common within themselves than the yoruba do.

I am wondering how far you went in your education.
You are confusing several things.
If you want to talk about kogi state then dive into an other topic, an other page.
If you want to talk about delta state then go to an other page as well.
We are talking about EDO state.
I am giving you details about the EDO people and their history.
You could also ask yurself why we had "Bendel" in the past and not "Edo-delta".

The non Edo, especaially the yoruba and the ijaw don't seem to get this: Omo n'Oba n'Edo.
That is the real title of the EDO king.
I also wonder why some of these guys weren't smart enough to see that there is only one king in EDO state: Omo n'Oba n'Edo.
And EDO state is only a fraction of his kingdom.

The bold part is a big lie. That's my place and we are from Benin. My ancestors were Benin warriors

That's a link to enlighten you.

I'm from the Okogbe family and up till my grandfather, my family is a warrior family. My grandfather told me that their forefathers used to fight as a Benin warrior. We migrated from Benin to idah and settled at Ajaokuta before we relocated to our present settlement due to war. Till recently, before you are consider a man, there is a festivity you must observe called the Itakpo. It involve going to Ajaokuta.
