Ondo were Edo people until state creation happened. They have forced the word Yoruba on them
Yoruba was just Oyo then
Before the Great Britain there was Benin empire comprises of Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Anambra. and there was Oyo empire comprises of Dahomey, Egbado, Ogun, and others
This new political identity is a disease
English
There is a quiet plea, especially from the people of Owo, Ikale, and Akoko-Ondo, to leave Ondo State and unite with their Edo relatives in Edo State.
It is important to understand that these individuals are not Yoruba; they are truly Edo people. The unreasonable creation of states has forced these siblings of the same heritage to live in different states. I can emphasize the significant Edo influence on the culture, traditions, and language of those who are now part of Ondo State.
In conclusion, a referendum should be conducted in Ondo State. When the people are given the option of which state they wish to belong to, either Edo State or Ondo State, it is clear that they will boldly choose Edo State.

@Africa_Hist Have I ever said anything of my own?
It's there on Mein website. It's a historical accepted history as indicated by Mein customs and historians

After Benin they settled in Aboh then migrated directly Kiagbodo? By your logic 😂
Ijos people live and traded in Aboh but that does not mean you are correct okay
Ovbokhan@GiantLeapOne
@Africa_Hist When they left Benin they first settled in Aboh, the history is there on thier website and Wikipedia

Do these names have the same meaning 😁? Similar names exist everywhere all over the languages. Like I said Mein Ijaw particularly was birthed by Benin, I didn't say Ijaw at large. Do you find it hard to understand simple English? You know how many Ijaw friends I have had? Delta Ijaw don't understand a thing what Bayelsa Ijaw is speaking, Rivers State Ijaw don't understand what Delta Ijaw is speaking at all. They all had different migrations and ancestors. Ijaw people at large don't have history nor tradition, they were never civilised in any form

Mein is a fully blooded IJo man.
Ijo migrated from Sierra Leone, if you don’t believe then search the language the Sherbro of Sierra Leone speaks.
Why do find Ijos names like Mende, Temne etc living between River Scarcies and Sherbro Island, Sierra Leone?

See question 🙋♂️. Mein is an Edo word, you may pronouse it differently there that doesn't change the fact of history There's no Sierra-Lone in Ijaw history. I didn't say every Ijaw come from us, the Mein Ijaw migrated from Benin, just like Onitsha migrated from benin, that doesn't mean the whole Igbo came from Benin Mein

Which family in Benin bear Ijo.
Ijos as ethnic group migrated from Sierra Leone. Mein migrated from a place in Bayelsa not Edo.

Mein was not a Benin man. Stop lying to me that is a descendant of Alaka and Mein.
Ovbokhan@GiantLeapOne
@Africa_Hist I told you Benin birthed both Alaka and Mein, historical fact You can't change Mein history, you need to go ask more questions about Mein Mein was a Benin man allijawculture.org/blog/mein/

@Africa_Hist Yes I know Olomu has 3 ruling houses
Uhurhie
Oghoro
Eyanvwien
The power is rationed among 3 clans
I'm not here to argue with you, I'm here to help you with history you didn't know
Mein Ijaw migrated from Benin. We birthed every tribes in Delta state

Alaka did not found the whole kingdom.
Oghoro who is the second son of Mein founded Aloba, Ovwodokpokpo, Umolo, Okpare, Oguname, Agbon and half of Owvor Olomu where he meet with Alaka. Alaka was amazed of Oghoro hardwork, he then decided to give his daughter to Oghoro.
Ovbokhan@GiantLeapOne
@Africa_Hist Olomu was founded by Alaka a Benin prince whose the ruling house come from till today. Mein has no significant influence in Olomu kingdom
English
@Africa_Hist I'm not surprised you don't know your history, most Urhobo children don't know a thing about history, even the elders sometimes fail history of thier own communities
English
We from my side of Olomu kingdom represent two people.
Our father Oghoro is the second son of Mein which makes us IJo paternally.
Our mother is the daughter of Alaka which makes us Urhobo maternally.
Ovbokhan@GiantLeapOne
@Africa_Hist You're a Mein descendant, so you're Ijaw?

@Africa_Hist @grok I told you Benin birthed Mein Ijaw and you argue with me. All thier kings say it on thier coronation day. Thier blog even carried the history. You go explain tire boy

How did Ijos who migrated from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 become Binis children you clown?
Ovbokhan@GiantLeapOne
@Africa_Hist Who are you? Why do you attack Benin so much? Are you jealous or something? You think Urhobo is the tribe we birthed in Delta state? Go ask the Mein Ijaw who birthed them. Even Ijaw na our children Urhobo, Isoko, Okpe, Ika, Ukwuani, Itshekiri, Ijaw are all our children
English
I, that is a direct Mein descendant, I am telling you are wrong you are arguing.
Tell me which Bini family gave birth to Mein?
Ovbokhan@GiantLeapOne
@Africa_Hist You have no proof at all? I have shown you proofs but you talk from your nose no proof or whatever Ijaw has many ancestral origins, I said the Mein Ijaw are from Benin. Thier kings always say it, Google says it, thier blog says it, the people say it. Who are you to deny?

@Africa_Hist Mein was a Benin man
Go tell the Mein people to change thier history 😂

Mein is just a progenitor of the now Ijos in Delta state which also later settled in Edo state
The People@Africa_Hist
This is pure lies. I am from Ovwodokpokpo Olomu, we know the history of our father more than you Binis. Mein and his Children did not even settled in Kiagbodo at the beginning. Secondly, Mein is not a tribe but an Ijo man whose children give birth to the later IJos in Delta.

The good thing is that it's the Mein Ijaw themselves who has said many times they are from Benin. A man called Mein was a Benin man who left Benin to Aboh with his family and then to Kiagbodo and his children founded many towns in Bomadi, Burutu and Bayelsa allijawculture.org/blog/mein/ That's the Mein main tribe forum
