It is hereby stated for the information of the general public that our correct ethnic name is Benin and not ‘Bini’, and that our people are to be referred to as Benin people or simply Benins. The Omo N’Oba requests that the use of ‘Bini’ should stop forthwith. Individuals, government agencies, corporate organizations, print and electronic media, and the general public should please take note”.
