Revolva: All Delta, all Bendel (Edo ) na wayo, except on individual level.....they are not like some tribes that need school to show they are intelligent, that may even have problem communicating in general languages like English or pidgin.... There are some States u will enter( including the West, apart from Lagos) u will almost feel lost due to culture & language but not MID West. 5 Likes |

PrinceMajestic: Thanks for your contributions Oniovo. I added that the Ema dance was made for special occasions such as when a king is coronated or when a chieftancy title is being given. The dance is a very powerful dance, sometimes I'd wonder how these guys manage to dance this energetic dance for hours. Indeed the Spirits of our forebears are with them. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mystiquefia: I think if dey want to find an ancient history of benin for documents it should be with the urhobo people, our ancient will understand the Urohobo language better than any current benin man You guys maintain our ancient words like oghene, kokodia, mudia and the other we have lost over time in history 1 Like |

Mystiquefia:lol you funny oo. I stayed with my mum and my late grandma. they do speak urhobo to me and my elder sister but we reply them in English or pidgin. you're very right about your niggas turning full Yoruba due to their culture. it's has affected me alot. I find it easy to speak Yoruba than urhobo self and my accent has totally changed. honestly I wished I grew up in Delta I really love Delta state. I spent some of my childhood there. I stayed in sapele, ughelli and abraka before I left. I even schooled there. then my pidgin was conc Delta pidgin not the yeye one I speak now 1 Like |

gregyboy: Lol.. okpe still get some kind words wey align reach now sef like Osunobugwe Okpe= Osonobwawe Edo Whenever Any orodje of okpe passes on, the tradition has it that they must inform the Oba of benin. Infact na Oba Of Benin dey coronate any new Orodje Of Okpe... And there are some strategic decisions the orodje of okpe may want to take that he'd need to consult the oba of benin. like there was a time when the former orodje wife flirted around and when she was wearing her royal bead she collapsed. it was the Oba of benin that told the orodje of okpe to divorce her when he insisted on keeping her. I'm pretty sure the former oba of benin would have a first hand knowledge about okpes 1 Like |
