ehen! shebi I said that it is the Yoruba man's stupid hospitality and welcoming attitude that will bring him to his knees now. Eh, make dem go on soun ojare.

This shouldn't degenerate into tribal issue.

The Okada man is just a criminal that happens to be Igbo.

If any issue arises because of the Igbos' presence in Yoruba land that is negative to Yoruba's destiny, I believe the Igbos will be exiled from Yoruba land and same can happen in Igbo land should the Yorubas there pose a threat to Igbo's destiny, the Igbos can expel the Yorubas in their land..

But for now, it's just criminals who don't deserve to be in our societies in general. These criminals don't have the intentions of coming to destroy Yoruba land; they are just doing what they are cursed to do. So let's not turn this to a Yoruba vs Igbo thing..

Trust me, if it ever gets to Yoruba vs Igbo, Yorubas are ever ready to defend and conquer..

The okada man is not Igbo. Igali is an Ijaw name and not an Igbo name. Not everyone who's not Yoruba is Igbo.

geez*:


But when it comes to Biafra and their oil, they will be Igbos abi?

If you go to Who Wants To Be A Millonaire, tell Frank Edoho that Igali is an Igbo name. Rubbish!
