ScamHunter: No it isn't. Dahomey is Benin Republic not Benin city. Dahomey wasn't known as Benin Republic until the 1990s. It was named Benin in memory of the great Benin kingdom in Nigeria. 5 Likes 1 Share |

"Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses." 13 Likes 6 Shares

Romance / The Word "Love" Is Not In The Igbo Vocabulary. by Hintona(f): 4:26pm On Oct 25, 2021 |
I was confused on whether to post this here or in the culture section. But I finally decided to post it here. The word love according to the European interpretation is not found in the Ibo vocabulary. The nearest approach to the idea of love is "ifun'anya" ("to look in the eye" ) in a favourable manner. The verb "to hate" is constantly in use, and there is an expression "to look" which implies the reverse of love. Does this mean ancient ibos were incapable of love or they didn't place much value on it? I also read somewhere that they valued friendship more than romantic love. 5 Likes

Culture / Re: A Strong African King by Hintona(f): 10:09am On Oct 25, 2021 |
Strong African king's like Jaja, Mansa Musa, Sundiata Kieta. This is the side of history I want to see. I want to see how strong African king's rebelled against the colonisers. Some history accounts make it seem like Africans immediately and obediently surrendered to the white man. 1 Like |

Education / Re: History Of Queen Mary 1 AKA "Bloody Mary" Of England. by Hintona(f): 9:23am On Oct 25, 2021 |
If only Nigerians knew and were interested in their history this way. Queen Mary is not as bad as history paints her to be. She was an intelligent, strong woman but quite unpopular. Her father Henry VII killed more people than she did yet he wasn't referred to as bloody Henry. Even her sister Elizabeth I who took the throne after she died ordered the disembowelment of 800 Catholics while Queen Mary ordered the burning of only 280 protestants. In the end the protestants of England won and so she was seen as a bloodthirsty queen because she was a Catholic. Some people think the reason for her unpopularity was sexism but that's a story for another day. |
