Etsakọ people are one of the major ethnic groups in northern Edo State, Nigeria. They presently occupy three local government areas of Edo State; these are Etsako East, Etsako West and Etsako Central, with Agenebode, Auchi, and Fugar as their administrative headquarters.[citation needed]
Religion
The Etsako people practice Animism, Christianity and Islam. Oghena, Osinegba, and Oshio are the words for God in different communities of Etsako people.[citation needed]
Music
Etsako People are widely known for their Etsako Music, with artists like Hon.Vincent Ugabi, Sir Waziri Oshoma, Late Gen.Bolivia Osigbeme, Late Madam Agbaobesi, Benji Igbadumhe, Agbi Dance Groups of Weppa Wanno etc, that entertain a wide spectrum of Nigerians both in Edo & Delta states to Lagos and to the northern states of Abuja and Kano.
Etsako Music can be arguably described as the biggest influence the Etsako people have over their neighbours, as some of these neighbours adopt Etsako Music as their known and acceptably traditional music.
