If you check Pre-Colonial pictures of igbos documented by the Europeans that visited them, they are all dark and brown like their Africans brothers, the pictures above are of Igbos in 1800 taken by European photographer. Do you see anything like yellow? No.

Let's fast forward it to 2020, if you look around you or your Igbo friends, most of them are dark or brown like their African brothers, go to any igbo dominated markets, what do you see? Dark skinned and brown skinned igbos.

Now this is where it get tricky, I know people will ask the question "but what about lightskinned igbos?", there is perfect explanation for that.

Now look at this Pre-colonial pictures of igbos again, do you see lighter shade of skin? The answer is NO. So where does the Igbos get their lightskin from?

To be honest, the truth is igbos bleach the skin of their child right from when they are young, although there is nothing wrong with it, it their body and their child's body. Apart from it, igbo in their teens or adolescent stage also bleach their skin to look more light skinned, i'm not saying other tribes are not doing it, but the magnitude of igbos doing it is more compared to other tribes.

Another perspective is inter marriage between igbos and other tribes from south south, most of the light skinned igbos you're seeing are the cross breed of igbos with their south south neighbours.

I do think Yorubas are good people.....



Just that idiots like u give them a bad name....

Edokingdom:
It is not a Hidden agenda anymore that some parts of edos looks much like igbos while some parts of edo state also look
much like yorubas,
For example, some beautiful yellow women of edo state, if you get to see them out side, you will definitely think they are igbos,
Does this have secrets undiscovered?

Op u are absolutely correct I have also noticed it myself.

Edos/Binis are Yorubas


There is no Igbo thing or look attached to Edo.

Everything about Edos boils down to yorubas due to convergence of history ( Both shares. same history)

Stop that,we are Benin,we have absolutely nothing to do with Yoruba and Igbo.

You phrased your question wrongly.

It should be some Igbo look like Edo and some Yoruba look like Edo people too.

We the Edo have a long established empire that expanded westward and Eastward.

Whereas Igbo & Yoruba were a collection of small kingdoms and chiefdoms. Until Oyo grew around 1680s.

Edos and yorubas are same people with cimmoy history.qed

Igbos are certainly the most foolish tribe on nairaland.

You created a moniker using Edo name just to insult yorubas . So when yorubas start insulting you, they'll be facing Edo people.

We aint yoruba,

A Yoruba man is naturally darker than an edo person, and they mostly have gab teeth up and down..........

I can fish out an Edo man from Yoruba crowd....

The influence we have with those weaklings called yorubas is the fact we colonized them before the British did

Pls dont compare us with weaklings or igbos

Funny, I never compared edo to igbo because no historical link to back it up so it is needless to even try such.

I only stated that aside features, edos and yorubas are closely and tightly related. Birds of same feathers.

Nothing like that existed. No link to say both share similar values.

But for yorubas/edos it is clear as crystal.

If we didnt have influence on igbos then we didnt have influence on yoruba too according to your explanations,


Maybe you dont regard western igbos as igbos
Only on that , your point can be true

But you my friend is more worse than TAO11 atleast she agrees there was an influence but you my friend you're a clown.....

Your aim in every benin-igbo culture thread is totally deniel the influence on benin to the igbos
While pushing yoruba foward...


Youre just shaming yourself

Afonjas will invade this thread and start telling you all Edos are one and have yoruba blood. They are paid to continue to confuse gullible Nigerians to perpetuate One Nigeria. They will even go as far as to tell you out of inferiority complex and envy that Igbos are not light skin, when every idiott knows that 90% of all light skin in Nigeria are Igbos, followed by Ibibios and others in socalled SS.

Now to Edo: there two types of people in Edo that many Nigerians don't know. 1) They are Edo with Igbo blood called Igodomigodo people or Idu(changed to Edo). These are the real owners of that Edoland you see. These ones are the Afamai people, Esan, Ogbonna, Fugar, e.t.c, these ones look nothing like Yorubas. They look like typical Igbo people: hairy, flat head, brown to light skin, tall, attractive, their men muscular/well built like Igbo men, dominate sports like Igbos(same DNA) and very honest people. Blessing Okagbare is from there. Even their names sound Igbo. Check Nigeria Sports National team, if you see any Edo person there, nah Igodomigodo(Igbo blood).

Now, you have the invaders aka Yoruba blood. These are the ones causing trouble in Edo like Afonjas are causing in Nigeria. Very lazy like their afonjas brothers; all they do prostitution. These are Dahomey blood Yorubas used by old Oyo Empire to conquer the original OBA of Idu Kingdom, like I said was of Igodomigodo blood, now occupied by yoruba blood. These yoruba blood look like Yorubas: short, dark skin, conehead or small head, skinny, not hairy, lack muscles or strength, 99.99% muslims in Edo are of this yorubaa invaders blood like Oshiomole; even his face will tell you he is of afonja blood.

Now good question, if some Edo are light skin, how the fuccck can they be related to Yorubas, when 99.9999% of yorubas are dark skin? This is common sense! If you are Igbo, search Esan people, you will think they are Igbos; same look, culture and dressing.

Esan people...what's the difference between them and Igbo? Nothing. These people have nothing in common with Yorubas, at all. Don't look or dress like them! Afonjas, stay on your own and leave people alone.
