Enahi:This is not a tribalistic thread. When one makes an important point and observation,it should be viewed as a tribalistic comment. I'm igbo and it's a fact that most Igbos in Lagos grow up speaking more Yoruba than Igbo. This fact is not tribalistic but an observation which should force Igbo parents to sit up and teach igbo to their children. If you see my observation as a tribalistic post then that is your problem not mine. It's a fact that these edo celebs either rep Igbo or yoruba,the onus is on you to learn to promote more of your culture. Tribalistic responder! 2 Likes |

aim5:How is it my business if your celebs rep other people's culture? A while ago,many people thought that Sam Loco,Toyin and Mercy Aigbe were either Yoruba or Igbo because they 'Carry these cultures on their head as if they own it'' This is an observation that you should reflect on,it's not an avenue for you to diss me or my culture,you don't know me anyway. But this is an avenue to let you know that your celebs rep other culture at the detriment of their own maybe because they have to yield to the dominating cultures and groups in Nigeria. You should be more concerned that folks like Mercy and Toyin is more Yoruba than Edo and Sam Loco was more Igbo than Edo. It doesn't show that they embrace anything,it only shows they are not doing enough to promote your culture. When Igbo artist start reping yoruba or hausa profusely,we call them to order and ask them to rep more igbo for prosterity sake. You should do same instead of looking for who to insult. 2 Likes |

Chukazu: Oh ok now I understand, Edo girls ain't bad at all I tell you. Despite the wrong misconceptions about them they make good wives and support their husbands through good and bad times. Once an Edo lady is Inlove with you she stays faithful to you for life. 5 Likes |

martha89:A lot or should i say 80percent of Igbo celebs that grew up outside igboland speak Hausa,Yoruba or some other language. But how do they manage to still retain their identity even after acting a yoruba movie or singing a yoruba song? Because they know it is showbiz,after that they quickly drop yoruba and revert back to their Igbo culture. A lot of Igbo celebs act Yoruba movies or sing yoruba lyrics like Psquare,Mike Ezuruonye, Zack Orji etc. That doesn't stop them from going all out to promote their culture. The fact is that your celebs have carried and promoted other cultures in such a way that people don't know they come from Edo. That is an observation and it should be a cause for concern,look inwards and identify why these celebs lose their identity while promoting other cultures. There is nothing wrong with reping other cultures but learn from the Yorubas,Igbos,Hausas and Cross riverian groups. 1 Like |

This tread is really an eye opener for...the claims and counter-claims. As regards Edo folks repping other cultures while relegating theirs, it is a pity that folks from bini are more guilty of this. It is sad but actually true that binis of all edo tribes are more shy to rep their language. Back home, an average bini guy or gurl even while in midst of fellow binis prefer to communicate in pidgin English than bini tongue. It is sadder still that bini parents prefer to speak English even 'broken' English to their wards at home to teaching them bini languages. I pray the incoming monarch do something about this. I guess he is privy to this bini attitude towards their language and determined to address it, hence he told Oshiomhole in one of the Governor's visit to his uselu's palace, that Bini language must not die, Bini culture cannot die. 1 Like |

All in all my own observation on these edo people is that all these yans about the edos not promoting their culture might just be out of your own visual psychology; because the dark complexioned edo people mostly tend to look like the yorubas, likewise the light complexioned edos look ibo, so most of you just unconsciously use that to assume people's tribe.. By the way I noticed the light skinned edo people I come across have this soft beauty; my observation... 1 Like |

proud to be from edo state AIT is owned by an edo man: raymond dokpesi channels tv is owned by an edo man: momoh we have the only city on Nigeria map. That is Benin City. for all those who attend catholic church: the first mass in the whole of west africa was said in catholic church in Benin City. the world only recognise two kingdom: the BINI KINGDOM AND united kingdom. if you doubt, please ask queen of England sometimes i think the reason we don't flow with our language is that we are too civilized. unlike other state you see them disturbing your ears with their language, speaking their language noisily even when they are in public places. we got the most beautiful females. we are rich individually but the money does not circulate. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
