Strong oppose   The Serer Niominka are part of the Serer ethnic group  Failure to recognise that would be a failure to recognise the diversity of the Serer group  Even Becker commented on this diversity See Charles Becker Vestiges historiques trmoins matriels du pass clans les pays sereer Dakar   Not only are they group together with the Serers because they speak Serer but they also have Serer culture etc Every one even in the Senegambia refer to them as Serers and they see themselves as Serers  Is just like saying the Ndut and Safi etc who speak Cangin languages are not Serers ethnically  Sometimes people use Niominka as a shorthand but I dont think we should deny people their Serer heritage  Indeed by referring to them as SererNiominkaa we recognise both their Serer heritage and Niominka  To call them just Niominka would be denying them their Serer heritage  Many scholar refer to them as SererNiominka just as SererNjegeme SererSiin etc  See   Dennis Charles Galvan The state must be our master of fire p Also Leonardo Alfonso Villaln Islamic society and state power in Senegal p African economic history volume  University of WisconsinMadison African Studies Program p  Most of the confusion regarding who should be called Serer is to do with the various cangin languages and Serer Sine  The Serer people however are not confused and they see themselves as Serer ethnically even if they speak a different dialect or language to other Serers  It is normally outsiders who tend to divide the Serer into compartments rather than just letting them be  The Serer Associations of Dakar as well as the Serer community have been trying for years to fight this division of the Serer group by outsiders  No one is subsuming anyone  SererNiominka culture is recognised and celebrated within the Serer group just like SererSine SererNjegheme etc  The reason for this is because it is Serer culture period
