Thanks for the compliment but let me point out that my Edo and English writing IS better than yours

GboyegaD: My dad is mixed but he is more of a Yoruba man and my mum is a Benin princess. One of the funny experiences I can relate with is the fact that growing up, we detested anything that had to do with Yoruba and even at some point, we all agreed no one should marry from the Yoruba tribe however, those who are married amongst we children married Yoruba people. I am quick as an individual to point it out that I am not a full blown Yoruba and one reason is because by my standard, they do not have the respect they claim to have. I remember some people while we were growing up in church and in my dad's family kept complaining we don't call ourselves brother and aunty and my dad will tell them off instantly that he is not a party to that. Some times, when some people complain too much, he tells us to avoid such people.

Another one is the fact that my mum and one of my dad's sisters are not so close and it has been like that since she married my dad. The funny part was one day my mum told us she had to ask her that whenever the reverend father asked if there was anyone who was not in support of their marriage should indicate and since she did not she should forever hold her peace. I learnt the argument was always centered on my mum not been Yoruba.
