At times I feel disappointed at the rate of confidence people have at the rate they turn lie to near truth. Anyway, the beauty of information is knowledge acquisition. Once again, lies and propaganda takes us nowhere but destroys a lot of things. However, for the right frame of mind who are willing to do research should verify if indeed Latin word known as Bénignus was translated to French or the reverse of Bénigne(Bénin) to Latin's. Below is a screenshot of the word Bénigne —Bénignus.

The use of Bénin and pronounced as Bénigne was borne out of the the pronunciation of the English accent of it. And it was accepted. The problem with majority of the English speaking African countries is that the always feel they are more exposed than the rest of African countries. And this isn't true. Most of the young lads in Nigeria, who are interested in history aren't studious beyond their local tribes history or within Nigeria's tribes ethnography. Forgetting the fact that there are too many possibilities that can and did connect the world due to trade and exploration. Below is the English pronunciation. So, stop making unfounded claim with any proof. Bini has no connection with Dahomey's Bénin. Does it mean because the French use ÎLE which mean island and the same ÎLE mean land in Yoruba, does it mean it has any connection? Of course not. Study is the key to information gathering. Stop this pathetic cry and accept the truth.
