TRIBALSTOOGE: i will spit in every yoruba person eye fu cking ugly tribal animals . shame on yoruba .you have no respect i swear . Sincerely speaking - I look forward to us having "Biafra War - Season 2" in this Country so that we can nip Nigeria's problem right in the bud once & for all b'cos the Igbos are the bane of all the major cities in this Country. Even most of them in Alaba Market, Trade Fair & Ladipo are all armed robbers, they only sell wares in the daylight & resume robbery at night. No matter how anointed or spirit filled a Pastor is, as long as the ojukwu blood runs in their veins, they're never to be trusted. The Hausas are 10,000 times better than the Igbos. Infact, I will rather do business with Hamas, Hizbola or Boko Haram than with the Igbos. Afterall, most of them wake their fathers up by kicking them in the stomach every morning. Reading "The Bitter Truth About The Igbo, By Femi Fani-Kayode" every morning gives me so much joy & vitality. U know Y? B'cos the seed of hatred which the Igbos have sown since the era of Awolowo has finally germinated in me, and u know what they say, You Reap What You Sow.

GeneralBadman: Tribalism can never end on this forum laye laye. Have u gone to the source to see how the original composer of the list posted the article. Practically the same way the OP reposted here. I was almost believing Hiiipower that d OP is a trialist until I decided to visit the source myself. Hiiipower started to post from page two whilst the Op started from page one. Konfam first before u jump to conclusion. See as we just dey here dey claim ownership of people who probably don't even knw where Nigeria is on the world map. Not to talk of whether they see or identify themselves as Nigerians. At worst they call themselves Nigerian-american or nigerian british not yoruba-american or igbo-british. 4 Likes |

It's totally daft to think or claim this people are Nigerians, the best is to call them African American or British Africans of Nigerian descent. When will we stop claiming peeps who don't even feel Nigerian as Nigerians, I'm sure if you ask for their Nationality they'll either tell you I'm English Or American definitely not Naijian. If you claim these peeps are Nigerians because of their achievements and fame then we must claim each criminal over there too for their grit and shame. 3 Likes |

Who is he deceiving? Seun dont hesitate to ban this my profile o. Dama ur site is becoming too unhealthy and toxic He did the same thing to me. He banned my moniker because I said he and his MOD were not ready to curb tribalism otherwise they wouldn't have pushed an hate-filled thread to the front page. A boy, oluwasegunfunmi, Nwabekeyi Chidiebere Simeon, opened a thread on Oshodi. He took various pics of Oshodi showing the dilapidated state of infrastructure which is cool except if he had a hidden agenda. Then tribal warriors derailed the thread on the third page and the warriors kept insulting themselves yet when the thread got to like 17th page it made front page. It was a thread full of hate yet the BOSSES pushed it to the front page. I complained and got banned. You See. When I saw people advising Seun yesterday, I was just laughing. I never commented, wetin konsain me. I got the message clear and loud. It's all about Traffic and Kowope(must money complete). Konfam There. 1 Like |
