Atigba:


Edo central

Ekpoma, Uromi, Irrua, Ewu, Ubiaja, Ebele,Igueben and others

MelesZenawi:


Binis are Yorubas in that sense while Esan are Idu..


Anyway yours is Idu....ours is Iduu.

Okoroawusa:

That is Auchi side?

Atigba:


It is the truth

Atigba:


Auchi is Edo north

You will pass Esan before you reach Auchi when going to Abuja

Atigba:


The people in Benin city that I mostly refered to as Yorubas are just around 10 percent and they are the one ruling.

Majority of tribes now also called binis in the Edo south are Idu children

Still the same

You mean Iduu in Aguleri

chinjo:
The OP is a fool that should be ignored. Calling Esan/Ishan as isan shows he knows little about the peaceful coexistence between the two major tribes in EDO state.

Atigba:


There will never be peace between the 2 because they are different.

They faught wars for centuries

The binis ancestral home is Ife

Esan are Idu children

Sokosuji:
simple minds confuse easily

MelesZenawi:


No go there coz there is nothing like such in Aguleri

meanwhile while are said 10% ruling if they ain't the majority.

you're economical with the truth.

Lipscomb:
Thanks for this revelation. I thought esan are from ife too.

johnmartus:
I guess you are looking for someone to make name.

Atigba:


Let me not enter Aguleri matter, their king there never dispute who his ancestors truly are.

As for the 10%, when you understand how the Fulanis minority is ruling in all the kingship in Hausa land and they are presently ruling Nigeria. Then you will be able to deduce my statement

MelesZenawi:


Then deductively the Yorubas are ruling Edo state

Atigba:


Benin city to be specific.

A child given birth to by Idu daughter, Ehiwinde who was inpreganted by Orominyan.

hammerU:



Please use the word Bini for clarity.

Edo has other clans like Esan. i.e Afemai


Bini and Esan dont get along becos Bini is trying to convert everybody to slave.

Even going to other clan land to wage war.

Esan want to have their peace, without anybody lording it over them or enslaving them.

Lipscomb:
Look I'm not an igbo guy. And the matter I raise here was true among the Edo and isan people.

Atigba:


There will never be peace between the 2 because they are different.

They faught wars for centuries

The binis ancestral home is Ife

Esan are Idu children

MelesZenawi:


Then deductively the Yorubas are ruling Edo state

Sokosuji:
someone,not simpleton..

I guess this is where u scram..

oyatz:




I hope you know that the people that inhabited the vast espance of land from Ile-Ife to Ubinu to Esanland used to be one people and didn't need interpreters to communicate with one another in the distant past?

oyatz:


This is NOT true.

The Bini Monarchy, though may come from Oranmiyan but the Binis are ruling themselves. Don't cause unnecessary inter-tribal tension.


Even Oranmiyan wasn't a Yoruba man because there was nothing called Yorubas during his era.

MelesZenawi:


Binis are Yorubas in that sense while Esan are Idu..


Anyway yours is Idu....ours is Iduu.

Atigba:


They are not the same

Ife people are Ife

The Idu people are Idus, mostly inhabited Igodomigodo.

Some few people in Ife migrated to Igodomigodo in 12 century.

Idu people dont speak same language with Ife please.

oyatz:



Both Bini and Isan people are different branches of the same EDO ethnic group.

Frankdoz8:
There exist tribal hostility between Bini and Esan people. For example, a Bini man cannot marry esan woman because it's believe esan woman causes plague, misfortune and badluck to average Bini man, in turn, Esan women are forbidden to marry Bini man because they believe most bini people are witches, sorcerers. In the time past, many esan women accused their Bini husband of "witchcraft killing" which spiraled to present day discontent between the two tribe.

obehi247:
And the only people or tribe the bini's are scared of is the Esan people or tribe. They are educated, inquisitive,smart and there are foresighted in real issue, situation or event
