AdaFonju: Oga calm down. All the non Igbo in the south east amount to <2%. Igala communities in Anambra west,Effium in border communities in Ebonyi,Ette in Enugu,still not clear if it is an Idoma or Igbo community,the two groups there are nearly indistinguishable now(in my opinion based on place names in the area,it is an Igbo town),none in Imo,fringe communities in Abia. |

SlayerForever:No non Igbo speaking town in Abia state. People are quick to mention Item mba uzo people are non Igbos, but the people deny such claims and hold tight to their Igbo identity. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Anibeze sounds Igbo. It means "Land Is king " What does it mean in Isoko? 6 Likes 1 Share |

Sanchez01:I think you're accusing that guy wrongly because I quite agree with his statement. Most of these state creations are quite 'artificial' in that sense. I understand the issue with the difficulty of boundary adjustment, as the case of Ofoni shows it but then, a state is what it is. A geo- political arrangement and nothing more. Just as an Igbo from Onitsha can communicate effortlessly in his dialect with another Igbo from Issele Ukwu or Asaba(in Delta State, South South) but may not with another Igbo from Amaigbo in Ebonyi(the same South East). What about the international Ethnic groups like the Efik of Bakassi, Cameroon and Adamawa people of Cameroon? Yoruba of Benin Republic nko? We should not let Politics define our cultural affiliations instead we should define our politics through the lens of our cultural backgrounds. That's the perspective I view his comment from. I for one, just like any true son of Ughelli see anybody from Ofoni as a full blood Urhobo of Ughelli Kingdom, distance or location in another state notwithstanding. And now, I've learnt about the Anibeze people of Isoko. We kobiruo. 2 Likes |

babacletus: No such thing in Obingwa bro. Rather what you have are Ngwa people who are bilingual in Igbo and Ibibio for sake of ease in communication and also as a result of intermarriage with Ibibio women as wives. 4 Likes 1 Share |

BininKingdom:please mention the kings that paid homage to your oba and when they did? This is how you people spread lies to make yourselves feel better. Assuming your claim of us being slaves are even true, what is the reality today. what is the relevant of Benin people and their oba in today Nigeria, apart from prostitution and human trafficking. You better wake up. Instead of you to live in the present today you are still dwelling in past events that were exaggerated to boast your stinking ego. urhobos are doing well and we can only get better. Get off we don't need you guys and your irrelevant oba. 3 Likes |

WrathOfHadez: I'm not interested in any other thing you've spewed other than the fact that Delta North has the highest LGA. That is only correct if you are removing the Urhobos that dominate Warri South and the Urhobos in Patani LGA. Secondly, that a region has more LGAs doesn't translate into a higher population or a greater number of wards, which is what is used to allocate funds. Whatever you feel about this won't change this stark reality. Now you can run along like a mentally handicapped midget. |

SicilianMafia: Don't overestimate yourselves. Urhobo/Isoko are only linguistically Edoid, as much as Bini, Esan, Afemai, Epie, etc. There's no ethnic group known as Edo. And our relationships with one another end at the linguistic level. 1 Like |

SicilianMafia: No Edo person will talk as you do. I doubt that you are truly from Edo. If you are, you would know that Urhobos and Binis can't even communicate without an interpreter. We don't share the same worldview, dressing, culture, monarchy, etc. That we acknowledge our Edoid roots doesn't give you the liberty to hegemony. Impostor! |

babyhrt: But historically, we have always been one people, in fact colonial masters called us Sobo people and Isokos were known as Eastern Urhobos for a while until 1958 when Isoko division was created. My point: the division you are trying to emphasise is only a recent construct and therefore artificial. Okpe, another language under Urhobo, is barely understood by Urhobo speakers. Or is it Uvwie? Ujevwin? So abeg leave those divisive matters and focus more on how our common heritage can bring us together for the common good. |

What does the word Edo stand for ? If you manage to answer this question then you will realize that your comments below are childish stupidity. Let me help you though: Edo is a people and Edo state is a land. So it does make any sense to claim a person is or is not from Edo. Although a person could be from Edo-state. It seems the lack of history lessons in nigerian schools has produced a confused person like you. If you were not so confused then you would know that Edoid and Edo were completely synonymous. You also don't seem to know that a certain kingdom called Benin Kingdom was invaded in 1897 and its King held the title: Omo n'Oba n'Edo. This tells you that you have only one monarchy: The Benin Monarchy. The guys you are now refferring to as urhobo kings are actually Edo dukes. Although I understand why the dukes would want to be referred to as kings in the nigerian context, I know it is not out of disrespect for their King: Omo n'Oba n'Edo. And they always state that they got their crowns from Omo n'Oba n'Edo. Cursed be the guy who stopped teaching of history in nigerian schools. Now the youth are in the desert without compass. Your talk of hegemony shows why you are saying all the rubbish you are saying. You think recognising your obvious identity would means that the people living in Edo-state are somehow superior to you. Let me tell you that you are being foolsih, the fact that Edo-state was named Edo-state doesn't mean that the state owns the word Edo or has hegemony over the Edo people. Actually the state was named after the Edo-people and not the other way around. The only hegemony is that of the Edo king over all of his subjects. fratermathy: |

GUMY: Edo is NOT an ethnic group. It is collective socio-linguistic heritage of the Urhobos/Isokos/Binis/Owans/Afemais/Epies/etc. If you don't know this, then your hegemonic attempt is dead on arrival. Try elsewhere. 1 Like |

I am not in any way trying myselfs at any hegemony, I actually know that all Edo are my brothers and are equal. What is the title of the Oba of Benin ? fratermathy: |
