From which recognized democratic process did these "representatives" and other "representatives" emerge? Where is the legitimacy in representations imposed on the people from above?

CAO.

"Egun man"? Depends on context. Might mean masked man, a spirit man (other worldly), or medicine man - used synonymously as "ogun man".

Ken:

Many ethnic groups in Nigeria - and I would say elsewhere in the world - refer in a derogatory manner by NAME to WHOLE ETHNIC groups, with a negative STEREOTYPE at the back of their minds.  My ethnic group the Yoruba is particularly guilty of this,  particularly of closest-neighbor groups (of which the Egun are one) and EVEN sub-groups among the Yoruba refer to other sub-groups episodically in a derogatory manner.  

For example, I am Ekiti (-Yoruba), and some other Yoruba closer to the coast (eg Lagosians) call us "ara oke" (people from Up-country, roughly translated as "hicks") even though some of us are more sophisticated themselves! :-)  

If we were to open up what each group in Nigeria called each other - or regarded each other - that would be opening up a pandora's box and a can of worms.

"Nuff said.....just enjoy your Abeni Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 (I have a Black American friend who cannot have enough of the Abeni (A-B-E-N-A-I) series, although I have not watched a SINGLE SECOND of them)

thanks a lot.
you really should see it; kelani is very good; there are some portions where two young men, sons of important fathers, return "spoiled" by america. they are hilarious!
further, this is a film that crosses between nigeria and benin, specifically lagos and cotonou. it really crosses the bridge, with french used on the one side, and english on the other--with yoruba on both sides. it is an ingenious romeo & juliet adaptation, in many ways. i think it is one of kelani's more successful films, and i recommend it to anyone on the list who has not yet had the happy chance to see it.
