"The Edo, or Bini, are a tribe of more than 500,000 living
throughout Benin, Ondo, Warri, and Owerri Provinces of
south-central Nigeria.   Edo, or Addo, is the name by which
Benin was previously known.   Edo is a Kwa language, related
to the Kukuruku dialects (which include Ora), the Sobo dialects
(see Urhobo), and the Ishan dialects."
