ijaw in bayelsa, their so called state isn't up to 3 million in population and there are different tribes there even Edo clan is there

Do you know that Jonathan isn't even ijaw?

Akoko is Edo, you don't even know history


Igbos aren't aboriginal they are immigrants just like other tribes.

Edo is 5 times bigger than ijaw.

They are found in Edo, delta, Kogi, bayelsa, river, ondo, Lagos, ekiti.

Edo is not tribe but name of people in an ethnic group.

That's what people don't understand, just like yorubas have ekiti, ilaje, Oyo, awori that like to be called Yoruba same as Edo, get it?

All this people you mentioned in yoruba all speak the same language and have same culture, but in Edo state the binis, Afemai (owans/etsako ) akoko Edo and esan have cultural and language difference.

a Benin man can understand Esan and co.

It's not their language but how they are all connected to a particular origin.

An ekiti man can hardly understand awori or someone from ilaje speak? They don't care because they migrated from Ile Ife. So they are one
