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.
I should vote for Apc because NDC is an ijaw party😂😂 Una too funny for this Edo traditional twitter 😂😂😂

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

All these eviendo think that calling a true Edo man an ovien Oba is an insult to us. Yes I am proudly an "ovienoba" while you are an ovienedo. All Kootus and their allies in every region are "Evienedo" No Edo man was ever taken as slaves unlike your ancestors who were commodities in the open market. Any Edo Jan of means could simply buy them. In fact your ancestors prayed that they will be lucky to be bought be Edo people.

🤣🤣 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.

If your mothers are too financially lazy to acquire properties, our mothers aren’t. Again, the verifiable fact that your kinsmen are too wicked to the extent they k!ll you young ones and chase your mothers out of their husbands house, our ancestors have no record of such evil.

You all lie unprovoked women own properties just as men in Edo state, aside having equal inheritance rights with our male counterparts we build, our families and uncles don't victimize their brothers widows for inheritance. Statistically we are not in top 10 young widows Okobo

ethnic group" contribute to Benin civilisation that will make Benin panic. Kootu brain is like that of pigs and the empty skull of ile ife
I can't believe you guys are crashing out this badly over just one object from Ife. The ethnic edo jingoism that makes you see pre-colonial Benin as your ethnic property, rather than the multi-ethnic metropolis it was, will cause irrepairable damage to your psyche.
