Very hot tempered people

Nah lie. They’re not. The only thing they hate is being cheated on cuz they always stay true and loyal.

But the moment you try to play them, they won’t take it easy with you.

Peaceful neighbours that killed 50 innocent worshippers in Owo,Ondo state.

You are mad. Do you have evidence? Can't you use your head? What will Ebira tribe gain in committing such a heinous crime?

The military just want to make name or results anyhow.

One of my favourite set of people. They are very real and loyal but can be very stubborn, even their girls.....good lovers and very beautiful.

They are always looking gentle until yhu step on their toes .....dem go give yhu hot hot

There's nothing like Egbira, it's EBIRA! Say no to anglicisation of African languages and words. I'm very conversant with the language and I can categorically tell you that there's nothing like "Egbira". It's Ebira and it means [good] character.

Don't get me twisted, young man. I Neva said the name "Ebira" has not been bastardised to "Egbira". I am against you saying it is anglicisation. Do you really know what Anglicisation is? "/gb/ sound is not in English phonetics.

For instance "Igbo" is anglicised to "Ibo".

No stranger(s) that ever lives in ekene or lives with them, ever go back with a good report about Ebira. They are one of the worst ethnic groups to interact with. I stand to be corrected.

Please it's EBIRA not EGBIRA.
From the headquarter which is Okene, the name is Ebira, meaning Character. However there are others, like Ibira Koto, Ibira toto etc, however, the Yorubas had long adopt Igbira when referring to the people. But in other to have an all inclusive name since they are descendants of one family, the name Egbira is adopted.

What 9 looks like to a man opposite you is different from what it is to you. It will be better if you limit your narrative to your experience with these set of people than extending it to others. Go to Okene, Okehi, Adavi and Ajaokuta and see for yourself, the Igbo and Yoruba there are inter marrying, building houses and living peacefully with them. This doesn't mean issues don't arise but they have been able to address them just like children of same parents have difference and get them resolved.

No. They’ve never been and Yorubas never claimed them. But they’ve been living in the west for long. They love yorubas a lot and we love them too. I know Yoruba men that are married to their women and vice-Versace. Their women are usually very loyal and disciplined. They’re very kind, strong and useful people I’ve ever met. You’ll hardly find them committing crimes. They talk less, do more..

They’ve worked for me before when I was into transport business. They all did well. Loyal to the core. Infact, I rewarded their loyalties. After they paid me half of the of my money, I told them not to worry about the remaining money. I really like it when I meet loyal people..

We love them a lot. They’re always seeing work here in the west. You’ll hardly find a jobless Egbira cuz work is always available for them cuz they’re very modest.

Egbiras are great people..

Matured mind not the grasshoppers quoting me.

Thanks for the explanation man.
