Op, well done for this cultural expose.
My opinion: you did not do justice to their social interactions that presents them as cunning, crafty and self centered (aka WAYO) or their passive aggression that has earned them the sobriquet 'Isoko tolo' pia'

Anyways, I noticed you did not include Bishop Gideon Okah of Flock of Christ Mission in your list of eminent Isokos

Am from Isoko (Iyede)....don't say what you don't know you don't say, we are not urhobos, there is a big difference, it's like telling an agbor man he's an igbo man, I lived all my life in an urhobo land, but in my home we speak Isoko, I hear both languages, there are similarities no argument, but if I talk to urhobo peeps with Isoko, they don't hear a thing rather they then to pick words from my sentence and sometimes get it wrong, So when you are not from either of these tribes and you come here to say they are the same, it annoying because my Isoko friends don't hear Urhobo, if I may ask you all that say they are the same....why can't they speak both languages or hear each other??

This list of prominent Isoko sons and daughters is incomplete without the mention of Cornelius Adam Igbudu-the founder of Aglican preaching society of the Aglican Church and Chief paul Omu.
