*The African Society [Part VIII]*/Any Africans on here?

I took a good hard look at youthose maps and all I saw was a placed called Benin City. So you come from Benin, but lived in a city named after a country? Like Mexico City?

Blud lool are YOU really going to educate me on my own people's history...come on take the lesson and realise that Benin/Bini City is a place in Nigerian, in Edo state.

The Benin you refer to used to be called Dahomey so they copied us

*I am aware that parts of the voluntary Benin has ethnic Yoruba's and Bini people, but for all intensive purposes I know where my mum grew up and I have been their so it exists

That's what I said. But I don't understand why she said she is Benin if she said she is from Edo State, which again is in Nigeria, not Benin. I don't say I'm Britain or even London because I was born there.

Becuase within states in Nigeria there are cities and tribal groups. Benin or Bini is the biggest in Edo I believe, like my father is from Abia state but he is Igbo. I believe that is what she was trying to get across

*It is all to do with the fact Nigeria has a federal republic system and all.

Hello people,

I need a massive favour please - if any of you are from Ethiopia and know Amharic/Oromo, I am studying the music of Teddy Afro in a university module and thus far I can't seem to find much information about the lyrical content of his songs, as very few translations exist. I'm aware that a lot of his songs are politically motivated and his recent imprisonment has been rumoured to be a response from the government to his music... but other than that I'm drawing a blank.

If any of you could please give me a rough idea of what Teddy is singing about in the following songs (or any that you know he is definitely singing about the government or Ethiopian civil issues)...

Gize Lekulu
Yesteryal
Lambadina

...I'd be eternally greatful!

Visit Finsbury park and you'll find loads of ethiopians.

o wait do you live in london?

Will I be able to sleep if I click this link?

So Benin used to be part of Nigeria oga?
