egbaguy: His father is IBO..............he was raised by his yoruba mother after his IBO father died during the BIAFRA war.

Sometimes I wonder how you guys think your wisecracks will turn out.

Maybe you don't think about it at all or you don't think at all.

Soon ibos will come and start abusing yorubas then some others will abuse ibos and it will all turn out into a big mess because someone is trying to be clever.

egbaguy: His father is IBO..............he was raised by his yoruba mother after his IBO father died during the BIAFRA war.

This is laughable

No contest there

@OP, very good. Keep the ball rolling.

Day11:

NO BUT THANK YOU.


Thats what he will tell you


Nothing works here

Nigerians are higher flyers, giving right environment, and level playing ground, even the dumb will should capacity and results too. How I pray Nigeria becomes a place where, things are done rightly and corruption eliminated, then you we know how blessed we are. For real, the world is afraid of us as we have; the natural resources, human capacities, vigour and strength to over run any power there may be in the world. Hmmmn
