it is very well possible that edo/bini people use the one identifier "edo" for itself, but historically and culturally, lagos royalty does not recognise an edo beginning for itself at all. it will be wrong to call lagos royalty edo, it is not...linguistically, culturally or customarily. |

PhysicsQED: but yoruba and bini are not linguistically distinct. the land belongs to edo but the crown is no doubt yoruba. the situation you have in bini between land/throne nativity is repeated in itsekiri and lagos as well. i will accept the lagos kings have bini names but reject that they have edo names. fulani emirs are not hausas but their ifficial language is hausa. they dont own the land but they own the throne. bini is an outcrop of ife. edo has nothing to do with ife...different people and culture. that they speak edo in bini court does not in anyway make it a non-yoruba throne. lagos is an outcrop of bini (not edo). lagos has nothing to do with edo. that the language of lagos kings is yoruba does not change the fact that the throne and crown belongs to bini. net-net, ife, bini, lagos.....are all in the same fold and yoruba. so if Omo n'Oba is the crown head of bini throne and a bloodline of Ife, then by extension all bloodlines dotted line to Omo n'Oba are also of Ife, regardless if they speak ibo, jukun, edo, or whatever else. contradicting that will be like saying since fulani emirs only speak hausa, then they are hausa bloodline and must not be traced back to futa, their ancestral home in old massina. 1 Like |

all the kings from guobaro to dosumu were given bini names. they in turn gave their own sons bini names. the closeness in yoruba/bini language and culture makes it hard to discriminate the names. are these bini or yoruba? ashogbon sogunro obanikoro modile saba oluwa onisemo onisiwo oluwo |

alhj, its hard to tell which of the names is yoruba and which is bini because of the closeness of the two cultures itself. Akinsemoyin, Eshilokun, Idewu, Akitoye, Dosumu, Akiolu....these are all bini names. Long after Ado the bini names continued even though the bini direct dynasty ended in Akinsemoyin and the Ijesha bloodline and dynasty started in Olorogun Kutere (bini name) |
Culture / Re: History Of Families In Lagos by NegroNtns(m): 5:28am On Jan 30, 2013 |
physics, the Ado here is not the Edo you are talking about. The Ado meant here is in the name and not in the ethnicity. Aisikpa and Guobaro is correct. |

mekussays: NAIRALAND gives ues a sense of how Nigerian actually think. So there r people actually supporting this unprofessional behavior. Well i knw why cuz many will do the same. I understand what the poster meant that the whole room will be smelling of fish and soup. he should have simply gone somwhere else to eat or close his door and not attend to people for the 20mins he needs to eat. this idea of "smelling of fish" does not hold water in a nigerian context at all. in oyiboland they dont cook their seafood throughly, claiming that it deprives the food of nutrients. the half-cooked seafood therefore retains its sea odor and is pungently offensive. therefore it is common to see that in america or europe raw seafood or meals prepared with seafood are not popular for close space consumption. in nigeria our meals are cooked thoroughly and spiced snd seasoned nicely that it (the fish) gives out a nice aroma when stewed. it is appealing, not repelling. therefore any and all idea of a foul smell in connection with seafood is cultural and foreign to the nigerian soil. dont claim for us what is culturally not ours. our people dont cook smelly fish. 2 Likes |

Samchelsea: Some comments here shows that Nigeria still has a long way to go......must he attend to people when eating?, so if someone gives him a white paper to look at he will use the same hand to collect it? If he can't then he should have told them to wait outside when he is through he'll attend to them or if you go to a bank and the cashier is eating and attending to customers how will you feel? what is the right way to act? there is no conflict between eating and attending to work. people all over the world do it. naija and our inverted sense of academic and professional excellence. |

Deep Sight: You know, it is still amazing, although we all know it - how Nigerians simply lack any sense of customer service whatsoever. It can be bad even in the private sector, but is always massively worse in the public sector. The public service and civil service are just. . . . wow. deepsight, c'mon bro! i know your benchmark for customer service and professionalism in this report is in reference to the customs in foreign lands but Americzns do eat at their desk while providing service. im left to wonder if it would be different if he was eating mr biggs instead of amala. 6 Likes |

manny4life: you responded well and i will say, again, that the original vision had strategy but that vision was lost. we balled in; and are now talking process. let's position the horse infront of the buggy..... there's need to recommit the vision and the structure that you talk about should be formulated on that goal. what is the goal and will the outcome of this debates serve as input to something else upstream or is it an end in itself (a proving ground of some sort)? Jarus, in his opening to the project had a nice advertisement of the objective. why did we divert from that objective? the debates need to be unique and non-traditional ..... completely upscale and different from our everyday shout and holler madness in the regular forum. 1 Like |

Ngwakwe: There is nothing like "Black Arabs" arabs are not from arabia. the root of arab is yarab who was a yemeni. the settlement of his descendants in the land brought about the name arabia. the conquest of the turks and alexander the great playedmajor part in population dispersal and redistribution of demographics. as at 1930, what is known today as israel was non existent and the population of the land was berber nomads (brown skinned natives) today the land is white out. in few years to come people like you will say thete is noyhing like brown skinned israelites. |

The Peoples Democratic Party has said it is saddened by the long absence of the Governor of Enugu, Mr. Sullivan Chime, and his Taraba State counterpart, Mr. Danbaba Suntai, from their duty posts due to ill health. Are you all now able to see that PDP is behind Chime's disappearance? Listen to their reluctant accountability of his whereabouts, given after pressure from ACN. |
