RE: ADSactly History : History Of Southern Nigeria [Part 3] - Bini In The Pre-colonial Era
It is interesting that in many of the peoples with very deep roots, these class divisions still remain. I have known some tribes where these differences between one group and another, between families, are very marked. For example, all tribes have a kind of doctor-priest, who is respected and consulted in everything. I also find it interesting that the Beninese tribe has had contact with the Portuguese, which leads me to think about their language, their culture; to know if they have an influence of the Portuguese. I find it fascinating to soak up these African peoples, so unknown to me. Greetings, @samminator.
Thanks for the comment, Nancy.
The contact made by the Portuguese to Bini was majorly to the Oba and the noblemen.
The main purpose was trading; which included artefacts, Ivory, and other antiques. Sure their contact had influence in their culture
