Migwo does not mean good morning. It is a greating that juniors give to their elders. It means I am kneeling on my knees. You kneel down and say it. The elder will now say vrendo. Which means rise. Eguono means love 5 Likes |

The separation started about 40years ago due to some political interest to create a division among the people... There are even other urhobo dialects that sound so distinct but those people never forget their roots e.g the Urhobo people of Ofoni in Bayelsa, the Urhobo people of Ovia in Edo, the Urhobo people of Ewu in Delta (these people sound more like the Ijaws but they never forget their roots), the Okpe, Uvwie etc... |
