Yet another Yoruba! Am certain the flaaaatheads aren't happy about this, but ain't Nada they can do about it; the same way they can do Nada about Dr. Ariyo.

Why are these just coming out?
The answer is simple!
Unlike Ibo, Yoruba don't have anything to prove, Ibos are below our level.

Ibos make noise about their accomplishments because of their need to be noticed ,. They have a deficiency, they try to bridge that laxity by broadcasting their milestones, forgetting that they are just now arriving at spots Yoruba already treaded decades far much earlier.

Ibos attitude is "look at me, look at me"...and if you dont notice him inspite of his loudness he kicks with tantrum.

An unnecessary statement. Please let's not spoil the thread! Its sunday, oya go to church.

Didn't know we're still this far. Ethnicity and Bigotry everywhere. Smh

Ugly creatures! Just look at you becoming mayor in another man's land!! Igbos are not making any noise afterall those igbo men/women got Re-elected, meaning they were there in the first place. But we are making it a big deal to resonate to the fabrics of some yorubas who are suffering from igbophobia in lagos.

beautiful Sunday morning o

Ogaa fun e too, what's all this nah

I guess this is counter thread But my question is, what is the impact of all those Nigerians(Ibos, Yorubas etc) outside on those of us inside?
By the way, those two Yoruba Mamas are ugly(run from pebbles and broken bottles!!!!), unlike the Ibo ladies who just won elections Maybe, its because the Yoruba ladies are old and they are in the House of LORDS, compared to those COMMONERS and bloody Mayors
