Almost every candidate that won the NDC primaries in Edo State is either Ijaw or Igbo, while Edo indigenes have been overlooked. I just can't see any reasonable Edo person choosing to sell their state to outsiders; it's a no for NDC in Edo State. It's wiser to support Edo APC.

Obaghatokpere, iseee!!!
So you will rather empower NDC at the federal so that in 4yrs, they can have the means to rig themselves into power in Edo state with the federal might.
Edo youths needs some political wisdom otherwise these children will learn more he hard way.
That time the chief priest of Ife was still polishing the shrine of ifa as assigned to him by Oduduwa
Benin Empire existed as a conglomerate of many kingdoms.
The Olu of Warri, who is frequently referred to as Ogiamẹ, meaning King of the waters in the Ẹdo language, was in charge of looking after the waterfronts, which included the Benin River for the Benin Empire.
The Benin did not impose their language on others; that is the reason why these kingdoms seem more independent than they historically were.

Okuku isn’t just a crown, it’s royalty in motion, straight out of the Benin Kingdom.
She is a great achiever.
She is an Edo woman.
She earned those awards through hard work: the labour of her own hands, then one bigot will now open his gutter mouth to cast aspersions on Edo women for being landladies in their own land

🤣🤣 this is proof that some people just write for engagements. Yoruba people couldn't even speak pidgin English untill the 80s and one Essien is taking what to SS majorly Edo, Delta, PH invented to communicate amongst themselves as yoruba translation. Can you speak any of the SS languages to ascertain how similar the pidgin structure is to ours?
Igbos, yorubas , Hausas are late commercial to Pidgin and Nigeria English gat nothing to do with rhe wazobis group simoly because they had no common NEED for a means of communication
Replying to @AfroVII
Most pidgin is either Yoruba, Efik or Kalabari. That's where english and local languages mixed up. This one sounds Efik.
