pazienza:
No Bini or Edo man would be able to understand Igbanke language written or spoken.

But any Igbo man who has good grasp of variety of Igbo dialects spoken in Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi, like myself, should understand 95percent of written Igbanke, because its virtually Igbo with predilection for "ri" in place of "di" just as seen in Owerri dialect, and always replacing "a" with "e" as seen in Nkanu( Enugu dialects), eg eka for hand, instead of aka" as is obtainable in standard academic Igbo(Igbo Izugbe).

Stop replying that fool.... To argue with some people is just a waste of time.

Igbosmoker:
true those ipob are the ones saying that.

I'm quite impressed with how yorubas don't even care about these minorities identities unlike igbos forcing everyone to claim a particular tag

have you seen Yoruba's oduduwa republic map? Goan check and come back

Gregboy & Davidnazee

Igbo own half of Edo. Ontop of that Igbo invaded & conquered Edo in 1967-1970

Ijaw also own an extension

If Nigeria dissolves & Igboid towns to with Igbo & Ijaw towns go with Ijaw. I wonder what would be left of Bini

Chemist009:

And some Nairaland sycophants who have never been to Edo wants everyone to believe that yorubas are indigenous to Edo and all the trash

Hmm. They speak a corrupted version of Yoruba in Usen town. Their king name is even Yoruba sounding, he is called "ELAWURE".

You no serious.... Why not take a census and know the exact number of the so called igboid and ijaw groups .... Fact remains Bini, Esan, Etsako, Owan and Akoko Edo constitute 99% of Edo indigenous population. Any other thing you type here is fallacy

Igbo conquered Edo in 1967 abi? So how many of your people lives were worth it? It didn't even last a year LMAO.

The present igboland has many tribes within it.. for example there are igala people in anambra and ebonyi.

Many indigenous akwa cross tribes are present in abia state.

You people aren't homogeneous as you claim to be

Area4Area:
No, Shanu street and Awolowo road, then Ipodo area too.
We had so many Edo guys there and I just love their free carefree attitude plus their pidgin.

Even here in Onitsha, I've made some my friends, dem can funny you one kind one kind.

Na truth bro, I grew up in Awolowo way. All this area you mention na we Edo guys really dey cause trouble that year, especially Airport hotel, Ipodo, Abule (Allen Junction) in Awolowo way. E no easy to roll with Edo guys, I guess you must be a stubborn person too. Thanks

I think they are mor ishans than binis.in the 7 lgas of binis,50% or close to that are non indigenes just as ikwerre land in rivers is mostly inhabited by non indigenes.the real binis cannot be more than 60%.again,they are small numbers of ijaw and Igbo communities indigenous to those lgas.
But for esan land,85% of the population is pure esan.therefore, esans are slightly more populous than binis

That's not true.... Assuming 60% of Edo South are the Bini's as you claim, that's nearly 1.5 million people.... Whereas the entire Esanland is less than 800,000 people. Meaning the real esans are less than 700,000.
The Bini's are way more than the Esans

How can benin foreigners in Benin be more than 40% na wa

I am from Esan but i think Benin people are larger in population than Esan.

Igbosmoker:
Yoruba are migrants just like fulani and igbos people, it's just 1-2 communities that speak Yoruba here

Where are Benins from?

gidgiddy:

Igbanke are Igbo people

Nnamdi kanu has really dealt so much with the psychology of you guys.
Igbos are the most useless people on earth.

you clearly saw eze/enogie on the Wikipedia. What's enogie in igbo language?

What's Eze in Edo language?

don't give me a name that isn't mine. I came across your path before during last year election.. you swore buhari will win here and you started giving your analysis SMH

Based on voting population, number of state and federal constituencies, level of urbanization etc

I never swore that buhari will win here.I said buhari will win or if he loses,he will get up to 40% and he did.he won more lgas.it was like a win.buhari won in the end and your pdp lost so I don't know what you are yapping about boy

What is this one saying, you sit in your village and start telling people how their land is

matex97:

If you go by that parameters,can we agree that lagos indigenes are more than ogun,osun or oyo indigenes? Can you agree that ikwerre indigenes are more than ijaw ogoni indigenes in rivers? So you can't use those parameters,it is misleading especially urbanization as most of the dwellers in urban areas are settlers. By the way I just recalculated and discovered that binis are more but not as much as the figures will portray

My Esan brother we should not even join non Edos in arguing this, they have an agenda to cause disunity amongs us. We the Binis don't care who has a higher population, we are only after development in the land

BeLookingIDIOT:
The indigenous population clearly outspaces the Igbos,yet their economy and livelihood are dependent on Igbos.Most of their houses,business and industries in Edo State are owned by us.

Get lost! Igbo wannabe.
