It’s a big village in Uromi, Edo State Nigeria.

Population
Few thousands of people, and they all speak Esan language. Like many other villages in Africa, it’s well structured to function as a society. The day-to-day affair is enriched with the communal coexistence and collective responsibility in building the society.

The social affairs
It's basically divided into three main groups, the elders, edion, the middle-aged men, Ighene and the youths, etusen ibhokhan. Each group is apportioned an enormous responsibility.

Occupation of the people
farming. Some of the local crops are yams, mainly for the men and cassava for the women, among other dozens of economic trees and different varieties of vegetables. Kola nut ebhele, for example is a fruit from one small local tree and its popularity knows no bound in several traditional settings across Africa.

Traditions and cultural link
Amedokhian is deeply rooted in African traditions and cultures, most of which are directly traceable to the ancient kingdom of Benin, the same place the entire Esan tribe is believed to have come from.

The new yam festival, locally called Ihulan is only one of the many cultural festivals that draw people across various cities to the big tropical village.

It’s also very popular with the Esan traditional dance also called Igbabonelinmhin
