Yeah, yorubas are quite nice and laid back, we had this one Yoruba bloke in our class back in the day, spoke hausa quite well, sometimes you'd forget he's yoruba, hardly cares about religion. Also find that yorubas have a lot of interfaith and intertribal marriages, even though it's islamically allowed if you try something like that where I'm from, not that were bigots, you get banished or worse. Lol! Even bringing a non hausa home gets you in trouble. 4 Likes |

Re: What A Blaine Harden Wrote About Yoruba People by dejilg(m): 10:45am On Jan 01, 2016 |
the religious part is quite funny though!!! but its worth noting that over the years, the Yorubas have seen that war isn't the answer, it will breed contempt, nobody wants to be a loser!!! as we can see with this Biafra thing, it probably won't go away That shit up there just gets me laughing!!! 8 Likes |

Well we know they believe death is not an option in any confrontation. A living dog is better than a dead lion. That is their philosopy. Although now dem dey form cult and hard men after places like PH and Warri don dey abandon am finish. While to some other tribes (like mine), death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man 2 Likes |

Anyway, Yoruba's are doing well. If I say what is on mind, we might be banned for one night + at the motor park, if you see some of them in contest, all you notice is ...wristwatch is pulled, shirt, belt and shoes are removed and they run in circles with their opponent/opppsition. + the first punch is a slap not blow. + followed by noise + then one runs to get bottle + the other runs to get plank + the rest is noise, noise and too weak to fight for their rights. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

Mr Blaine Harden was very observant tho. I am sure the locality he observed was what he described! English and its euphemistic manner of insults lol. For me it was very funny. No tribe is as Islamic as the Hausas in Naija and no tribe is as Christian as the Ibos. Yoruba just merge the thing ni. He didn't say the Hausa n Igbos r superior sha. 3 Likes |
