WTF is an "edo" dialect?... Could you specify if it's Bini or Esan, etc.?

@OP.. I don't think this is a valid argument..

In No 16, and 20, I can see Okpebho local govt Area and u said it is part of Edo.. That is untrue..

There is no such local government in edo state.

That has long bein changed since God knows when.

Technically, Ekpon is not an Esan dialect. Even if the Ekpon ethnically identify as Esan.

I agree with you on that, the languages are not similar at all

I wanted to point out this issue before I saw your writing. as an ekpon person, I don't understand how people keep claiming Ekpon language to be an Edo dialect. why not claim agbor, and the Ika speaking places to be an arm of the benin kingdom? the fact that Ogbemudia made a political mistake and our people allowed the mistake to stand, one overzealous benin man will come and claim ekpon language to be an Edo dialect. compare agbor language with ekpon and then compare ekpon with esan and see the difference.

Can any bini historian tell me hw their ancient knigdom managed to dominate other tribes of southern Nigerian and ended up with a small population compared to others??

Was there an ethnic cleansing or sumtin??

I'm just curious

the British invasion of the benin empire in 1897 led to the destruction of the edo empire and their civilisation.

Re: A List Of All Edo Dialects And Where Their Speakers Are Found. by dennismukoro(m): 6:54pm On May 07, 2015

U DONT KNW ANYTHING ABOUT THE URHOBOS AND OKPE WHICH ARE SAME. THOUGH EDO AND DELTA ARE TOGETHER IN OLD BENDEL. BUT THE BENIN POPULATION IS NOT NEAR THE URHOBOS WHICH IS THE 5TH LARGEST IN NIGERIA. SO OP STOP DRINKING ORIGIN.

I would love them to achieve their biafra cause they will still kill themselves over power

That is true..they can't even live together without qualms..I don't know why majority of them are trouble makers..Only some of them that were born and grew up in the city reason well sometimes...I tire for them o...what pains me most is that other people regards Edo and the rest of the SS as Igbo.that thing dey pain me no be small.
