Malawian:

Yes I am Igbo. I can tell you I spent about 7 years in Ekpoma and not once was there anything like new yam Festival. There is no such thing there at least now. If there was in the ancient past, I don't know. But now, no such thing there. Any Ishan in the house can concure.

Esan people do celebrate New Yam Festival. It's called Ihuan or Esano in places like Uzea.

Sufferingboy:
Is Etute an Igbo or Yoruba?

I want to check name. . .

He's Esan.

Denique:
Thank God for life.
Gozie Nwokeke, Akanchanwa...whatever happened to Njideka though.

Njideka is an actress now.

Benin people are so annoying. They think that they can speak for Esan people. Luckily, most Esan people are waking up and not believing the lies that Benin people have been parroting for years. Esan Oye, Oye.

I don't get why Cavani should be punished. A lot of Latino people use words like "Blanco", "Negrito", "El Chino", "Rubio/"Rubia", etc. to describe someone's physical appearance. It's not that deep.

Last year a nobody,

2020 becomes popular, frolicks with Orji Uzor Kalu, Enugu Governor, Anambra Governor, Ikpeazu of Abia, features Flavour in Gospel music track, and many other spotlights.

All these political media frenzy surely don't go without ghana must go bags, even if it is half-full ghana must go

Azmanaty03:


You are afraid that yorubas will make u guys slaves to their empire when Biafra goes.. just prepare ur mind..u will only serve them for 10years before u regain ur freedom.

Esan and Benin kingdom are slaves to the Oduas. Argue with ur father

Esan people aren't slaves to Oduduwa. What crack are you smoking?

favor914:
No wonder they are still backward from Bini People?

Esan is backwards compared to Bini people? You dey craze? Most of the people developing Benin City are Esans. You should be grateful. If Esan people actually behaved like Igbos and developed their towns too, Benin people wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

ludd2018:
No but there are some ethic GPS in edo that are related to Igbo like esan people and Igboakiri called Igbanke people....they migrated from from Igbo land.

There's a village in Igueben called Idumunoka that traces their origin to Awka, the present day capital of Anambra State.

ComputerWiz007:
Who is doing the Ashawo work is it not slaves from Esan land.. Bro take it or lv it as far the Oba is the head of anything Edo State and the Governor will keep being A Benin person.. The majority will nver vote an Esan person period.

No, the majority of ashawos in Europe are not from Esanland. And as far as the majority of Edo State not voting for an Esan person to be governor, that doesn't surprise me. And yes, let the Benin governors continue to run Edo State into the ground.

ComputerWiz007:
All u just typed are nothing but piece of shit Edo will nver be ruled by any Esan it will nver happen asfer a bini man is running for same gov seat. Reasons why Oshomle got the seat was because the Benin people and the Oba loved him before he messed up in his second trm prof Osunbor nver won any elections in Edo state. All what u just spout out are pure rubbish.. again the Benins are still superior. I pity ur low life. Spits And you should be ashamed of ur self n generation for calling that Ikimi and dat Tony Aneni don't u have shame??

The Benins are superior? Haha, in what way? Superior in ashawo business? Haha I don die.

ORIENTATION101:
Edo will be the easiest.
The voting pattern favours Apc.

Edo central votes re always divided

Ize iyamu won Edo south last time , now it will be shared between obaseki and ize iyamu because of power of incumbency.

Edo North- Apc will win landslide and that is the end of the road for obaseki

Edo Central(Esanland) is a PDP stronghold.

chriskosherbal:
Let me quickly register my presence here as a full blooded son of the soil, Esan North East, Uromi, Father= Uromi, Mother = Uromi.. There is this never give up, die hard blood in an Uromi indigene. Have you guys noticed they call us the ibos of Edo, cos our hustling skills is top notch, we share similar cultural/traditional behavioral activities in marriage as well as burial even in food, our love for fufu cannot be overemphasized.

Reason why the array of ibos there cannot be downplayed cos it blends well with their system, couple with the fact that most of us (including ibo's) are light skinned,handsome, muscular and strong, many people in Lagos still walk up to me till date and they start speaking Ibo cos of resemblance... Our women are also similar, if you are looking for hour glass beauty just go to Uromi, and you will know why most Uromi guys want to hook up with their babes.

In case you find yourself in Uromi for business pls tell a taxi man to take you to Angle 90 if you are a lover of quality local dishes.... We are the main producers of thick OGBOLO soup.. Coulpe with better fufu.

In closing we cannot exclude the brilliant minds emanating from this rich developed self sufficient town called Uromi, how can we forget the likes of Pro nationalist Anthony Enahoro, and one man that shook the Nigerian politics for years popularly known as Mr Fix it, Mr Tony Anenih, and many others and not forgetting my humbly self.

Indeed Uromi is a place to be and stand out as number One among many other towns in Nigeria.

Yes. I'm of Okpebho heritage(Ekpoma/Iruekpen) and I respect the average Uromi man for their hustling spirit and tenacity.

Dartilo:




Wic part of Esan r u from,and pls kindly tell us d origin of Esan and their kings...
Let us start wit that

My dad is from Illeh-Ekpoma and my mom is from Abia-Iruekpen.

Dartilo:
Nl is now a home for ethnic superiority...
If u observe dis post and it's comment r made by afonja and Biafra trying to divide and share Edo state...

Edo state indigene r descendant from Igodomigodo even d urhobo, Esan were part and parcel of Benin empire, many Queen mothers were from Esan land, all d enojie of Esan r son of d oba of Benin...

In The rest Edo dialect dey call Benin city pple as Edo, there is no tribe as benin butt as Edo...

So stop all dis nonsense we r Edo and we r one...

Esan and Benin have some similarities, but we are not one. Stop being delusional.

Chidorx60:

No....but the onojie of my place is also a very fair skinned man from his own father to his own son the crown prince...... and I'm from uromi

Oh yes, Uromi in particular has a deep history with the Portuguese. In fact, the first Onojie of Uromi, Ijesan was a half-caste.

Chidorx60:
you are right...it's very very common to see natury light skinned people in Esan...infact the traditional ruler of my place has a Portuguese ancestry...the ratio of black to fair people in Esan communities I know would be 5:3

Yup, are you from Ewohimi? Because the Onojie of Ewohimi is a very fair skinned man.

Adeba01:


That may be true about there being Igbos/Edo/Esan individuals that are lighter than the OP but they do not form the majority but the minority. Most Igbos / Edo / Esan have beautiful dark chocolate brown skin colour. I actually question the purity of the light skin Igbos / Edo / Esan individuals I would not be surprised to find out they have some mixture

Some Esans claim to have Portuguese ancestry.

Simbrixton:
akoko edo and esan are yorubas

and we have opc fully thriving in edo

Esan people are NOT Yorubas.
