No mind the OP, he says Edo language as if only one language is spoken in Edo,
Instead of him to say Benin language.

Igboโ€™s are a nomadic tribe who had with Ikwerre and lived among them via trading and as a result Igboโ€™s borrowed some of these Ancient Benin words from the Ikwerres.

Ikwerre have no history of migration to or from Igbo land. Donโ€™t forget even till date It is the igbos you find migrating to other ethnic regions that is why you see Igboโ€™s sharing some similar cultural attires and words with all their neighbors like Igala, Ikwerre, Ibibio, Idoma & Ika.

Maybe you're the only one who doesn't know that Exo have Igbo too.

You shouldn't be surprised.

Igboโ€™s are a nomadic tribe who had with Ikwerre and lived among them via trading and inter-marriage, and as a result Igboโ€™s borrowed some of these Ancient Benin words from the Ikwerres.

Ikwerre has no history of migration to or from Igbo land. Donโ€™t forget even till date It is the igbos you find migrating to other ethnic regions that is why you see Igboโ€™s sharing some similar cultural attires and words with all their neighbors like Igala, Ikwerre, Ibibio, Idoma & Ika.

Stop this delusional lies of yours.

Edo and Yoruba are kith and kin

It is even said that Yoruba came out from Bini

I do not know of Urhobo but itsekiri I am very sure of

Exactly. My mind keep telling me this. There are some local government areas inside edo that speak yoruba as their language. Urhobo too has community inside edo. These three guys share something in common. Even itsekiri too!
