EDO HISTORY - WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE IN THE 1940s. A discusion with Mrs Esther Uwumarongie about how life was like growing up in Benin in the early 40s and 50s. The aim of this video is to retain knowledge and experiences and transfer to future generations, about the people, culture, practises and general history of Edo people.

This episode is dedicated to the late Queen Elizabeth. Here, my mother Mrs Esther Uwumarongie narrates the event from 1956 when the Queen of England met with the Oba of Benin for the first time.

In this episode, we continue leaarning the language with some names of animals, then we proceed into certain phrases. As usual, it is another funfilled experience. Feel free to leave a comment, ask a question, or a contribution but whatever you do, make sure you are subscribed for more. Thanks

Nekpen Obasogie is a custodian of the Benin history and culture in diaspora. She is the founder of NEBO TV. This is a mini audio documentary, to highlight her journey so far.  

In this episode, we learn the Edo language. We begin with the simple stuff. Numbers 1 to 20 and then some simple words and simple statements. My Mother, Mrs. Esther Uwumarongie is my guest today and she will be translating my questions in English to Edo Language. Sit tight, learn, share and you can also contribute to the promotion of the Edo languages. Thank you.

In this very brief and first edition, I introduce myself and how this podcast came about as well as what to expect moving forward. Enjoy!
