Many Edo people don’t really fixate on where others come from. They often just get on with people around them. I’ve noticed that Edo people can easily lean into the culture of those they’re closest to. If an Edo man finds himself among Yorubas, the culture there can rub off on him. If he lives among Hausas, he may start to reflect that environment too. You’ll see some Edos and mistake them for Yoruba or Hausa because they adapt so well, while still holding on to their own identity. That said, this not unique to my people…. Anyone surrounded by a certain mindset will eventually mirror it. So if someone is constantly around people who show disdain for other tribes, that attitude can also be picked up regardless of where they’re from.

You should have started your thread with this, instead of using your family issues to generalize Edo people and give more bigots leeway to pile on Edo people. x.com/VALENTINEBOYO/…

One of my least favourite things about growing older is all the experiences that harden your heart. I miss some of the naivety of youth.

@swaggedoutgolem part of the folksong goes "Ivbie Eriwmin N’Eka oh oh, Idigie wa na re oh oh, idigie wa na da oh oh" would translate to: children or people of spirits that are older or came before, they eat while squating oh oh, they drink while squating oh oh

there’s a yoruba mythical being called “emirin”

@swaggedoutgolem I suspect these ancient pygmies might be the source of those stone axes that are found in the forest belt that are now referred to as thunder stones

@swaggedoutgolem Interesting. Don't know what emirin means in yoruba but erimwin in edo means spirit

@nzemmili @swaggedoutgolem It would seem so, at least from Edo folklore

@swaggedoutgolem I believe we genocided them, and took their lands. It seems like we all met them

@swaggedoutgolem @nzemmili we may all be recollecting the same story even though they have different names in each tribe

@nzemmili might be related to them yes. the full term is emirin inu igbo “of the forest”. might also be related to egbere - these myths are both forest dwellers. it’s interesting because egbere also carries a woven mat.

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.

Benchmark for this budget was $65 per barrel of crude. Brent crude is selling today for $110, a 70% windfall. But deficit is widening.

Facial reconstruction of a 11,250-year-old man from Nigeria The Iwo Eleru rock shelter in Nigeria, excavated in 1965, yielded over 500,000 Late Stone Age artifacts and radiocarbon dates ranging from ~15,000 to 9250 BC. A poorly preserved, tightly contracted human skeleton was found in undisturbed layers. The skull is long and low, with moderate brow ridges, a sloping forehead, and relatively flat nasal features. Despite some post-mortem distortion and reconstruction, its overall shape appears reliable. The face is mostly missing (missing hard tissue fragments were added for the reconstruction, some aspects of which are hypothetical), but the mandible is robust, though lacking a pronounced chin. The postcranial skeleton is highly fragmented, making precise measurements difficult. However, the long bones suggest a moderately robust individual of medium build, with an estimated height not exceeding ~165 cm. It has been argued that the Iwo Eleru fossil represents either an archaic hybrid or a relict archaic Homo population. In 2014, Christopher Stojanowski of Arizona State University outlined three main explanations for its unusual cranial shape: It was a hybrid with archaic African populations; it belonged to a relict archaic group later replaced by modern humans at the start of the Holocene; or it came from a population that diverged from other North African groups during a period of extreme Saharan aridity.

@Sulkalmakh For reference studies show this Phenotype is outside of modern West African variation. For a tropical skull that does however see here. x.com/Phillip0516689…

@NetoItalo @Sulkalmakh If anything that paper suggests that the Luhya have ridiculously large amounts of archaic (9-31%) which would imply that East Africa or Central Africa would be the source of this supposed archaic and that Bantu speakers possibly picked up more of it.

Is it a requirement to look for African artwork with the biggest meat to make these comparisons?
