1. Benin has a long, thin strip of land in the south that extends almost 1/3rd the way into Togo!

2. AAAAAA! The Kingdom of Benin featured a flag with someone being beheaded!

3. Yikes! Porto Novo was originally developed to be a port of slave trade! Thankfully, slavery is illegal in most of the world.

4. Good luck escaping the Largest lion population in West Africa! Then, you have get to the only airport in Benin, in Cotonou.

5. Benin is quite similar in size to Pennsylvania, but Pennsylvania has almost a MILLION more people than Benin!

Hmm, I thought the Kingdom of Benin has nothing to do with present-day Benin.

This is a completely americanized, negative, biased point of view of Benin. There are five short, poorly phrased "facts" that go against it. I'm an American and know nothing about Benin, but I would like for this blog to contain quality information.

The phrasing of the facts you chose and the fact that you chose them in the first place.

if you are saying that i "prefer" these facts, you are right. I choose the most interesting facts on the sites. The definition of Biased is "unfairly prejudiced for or against someone or something". plus, how is the phrasing biased??

Bruh you literally deleted my comment because you didn't like it. Please just don't make these short, 5 fact blogs, you are part of the problem with jetpunk blogs. I'm not attacking you and you alone, but recently Jetpunk has been getting more and more of these spammy blogs.

These are 5 facts that anyone could find, and while they may be interesting, you didn't reveal them in a way that people would enjoy.

I don't mind you making these blogs, but I would change:

Don't make the blurb about your blog 'wait i just realized i forgot to do angola', make it something entertaining that people will want to click on. Something like 'Cool facts about Benin! or Did you know (insert cool fact about benin), and tell them that you have more cool facts.

I would also add more content to these fact lists because 5 isn't really a lot. You have people with pages of info and they put their hearts into their blogs only to get covered up by 5 facts. Please do at least 10-15 so people have a better time.
