Just a point of correction, African diaspora tends to allign herself with Yoruba religion because it survived outside Africa but tends to key into the Eastern Culture or way of life. A lot of them see some facial and physical resemblance in Igbo people and assume their ancestors were igbos.
I've seen some of them get genetic test just to see if they share dna with Igbos.

In the U.S., yes. Black Americans in particular look like Igbos. My current wife people are Geechie (South Carolina, U.S.) and are from originally from Sierra Leone.

It's not pragmatic to expect Ooni to be given the same treatment as the Queen of England. Much same way a Buhari would not be given the same treatment as Cameron. Also, you are addressed as you dressed; and with the type of socio-economic conditions prevalent in Nigeria at the moment, I don't see how an Ooni or any other traditional ruler from Nigeria would command the sort of respect that some deemed to be standard. After all, Yoruba is not an independent nation; it's just one of several components of Nigeria.

Having said that, I implore our people to get past Owanbes when arranging this sort of visit for a prominent king like Ooni. I don't see the wisdom in Ooni having a reception at Whitehouse when he had not be specifically invited by Obama.It doesn't make sense. Why not secure a slot for him to give a lecture on Yoruba Culture in Diaspora in a top rated university like Harvard and then from there visit other places. That to me will reify his place as a sort of authority on Yoruba tradition than anything else.

Also, he needs to also stay in his palace and get a proper briefing on behavior befitting a king of his STATUS, at least within Nigeria. It is an eyesore for a king of his status to be visiting individuals the way he did. If he is interested in having conversation with Obafemi Martins, the proper thing to do is invite him to his palace. If he is not careful, demeaning stories of his activities, gossips about him, would soon populate tabloids.
I have members from the Hutchins center of African and African American research at Harvard coming to MoCADA to meet with Ooni on Monday. Also, there is a Yoruba/Ife historian who isn accompanying Ooni at MoCADA.

That's great. We are interested in Ooni's activities because he is not just a king, he is the spiritual head of the Yoruba race and we don't want to see that throne demystified.

I put the itinerary together for the event at MoCADA. Invited are the Hitchens, Studio Museum of Harlem, Dance Africa (America's oldest festival dedicated to African dance) and other black organizations from the Diaspora. MoCADA is also moving to a $12million facility next year. They are looking for Yoruba artists to place their footprint in the museum. the intention is to forge ties with the diaspora and spread our culture.

Nyggah, who takes clowns on the seriously? You must be losing it to think I give two fvcks about ya opinions. You chat shyte on the internet and you get banged up there and on to the next one.

It was a Saturday and England was playing. I went to the pub to watch football and linked people after. Try that sometimes and stop locking yourself in a house in the Manchester shytehole. Get some fresh air from time to time. Lack of fresh air is the reason why you stay stuck in worshipping constellation and bowing down to a white Jesus/saviour allegory who couldn't save himself, while spamming idiotic verses from a story book about allegories everywhere, you white man's slave. grin

Anyway, it seems you're the only one with the big mouth that stays challenging the Field Marshal. Ya fellow rookies in the politics section know better. And any of you that has a problem with my posts can see me online and get e-smacked, or you can come see me offline and get pistol-whipped. Clowns. grin

Nice.

And make sure you tell the Yoruba elders out there to speak to that guy - he's moving like a clown and not a king befitting of the throne.

That's the US - Yoruba culture has been big there way before Yorubas from Nigeria started migrating there en masse. Even as far back as the 60s, a lot of the things the Black Panther Party used were from Yoruba culture. 2pac's mum named herself Afeni way before she mostly had contacts with Yorubas from naij. Kareem Abdul Jabbar said his dad told him they're from the Yoruba people of Nigeria from way back. And Nas' dad changed his name to Olu Dara from way back. Etc. No one is spreading something that has always been there - you just need to keep celebrating it and make the bond stronger.

why are you brewing a fight where there is none? it's yorubas like you that are fueling hate on this thread. Like you rightly said, Igbos are not on this thread, but look through it and you would see your fellow yorubas calling us out. This thread is about how yoruba culture is spreading which is a good thing, can't you just celebrate it in peace

U are one of d igbos that will never make me have general view about the igbo folks... I love dis ur comment and I warmly welcome it. For this, join me in siping this little tea... I never wanted to be tribalistic even for one second but for d experience I have with some igbos here on nairaland that reasons in union with hatred... See, in reality, I only quarel with igbo here on nairaland but in d real life, we are best of friends... I have a lot of igbo guys as friends here in lagos... We reason alike and they are mostly sensible but I must tell u d real fact, reverse is d case here on nairaland...

This thread is full of tribalistic yorubas who think that an acheivement for them must necessarily be a failure for someone else. So far, I have hardly seen any other tribe bashing them instead the reverse is the case.
This is a good thing for yorubas and Nigeria as well, that our culture is being exported and appreciated, celebrate it in peace and stop stirring up unnecessary rivalry.

lol...they are just putting themselves ready in defensive mode from any attack...so they wont be caught napping.

My friend, I hope the general view you have about Igbo folks would include their resilience, diligence, and independence, as well as being committed (to family, friends, and community), egalitarian, conservative, and competitive.

my point exactly, there is so much yor vs Igbo rivalry here on NL its appalling. If you have Igbo friends who you get along with, pls ignore the trend on NL, it is very annoying when a nice thread gets derailed as a result of tribal crap, you should not fflw this ugly trend.

Lmao...you're a clown! Who gives a shyte about where you were born and raised? I bet you don't know that the word "nigger" is an European word (Latin) and there were black slaves in England, before they were moved to Virginia, when King George decided to start a cotton plantation there and move them there, no? And they were called "niggers". And "snitch" is an English word from the word "snitcher" which can be substituted for "informer". So cos these words were popularised by the hiphop culture (hiphop isn't even really an American thing despite the fact that it started in the Bronx - it had more Caribbean influences at the beginning) - you think it's a US hood thing, yes? You're a clown! grin

You must think black people in the UK only eat tea and crumpet, and we don't have hoods here - effing clown. Hood vernacular is hood vernacular and most of these words are English words popularised by Americans. Just as the new fashion trend of wearing skinny/slim jeans and fitted clothes are European urban fashion from way back when Americans were wearing baggy clothes. Now they've copied our style and popularised it and I bet ya clown arse would also call it US fashion - hysterical.

I'm from Franklin Avenue, Crown Heights. Mostly Carribean and African American crown heights. The clap at you part of crown heights. I reaaaaally get annoyed hearing Nigerians talking hood knowing what I grew up around in crack cocaine 1980s through the 90s where bodies were being dropped left and right. Especially being around for real "Niqqas" on that talk that Nigerians and Nigerian Brits are forcing it into their vocabulary. For real "Niqqas" you see around the way knowing they have bodies on their resumes.

For real "niqqas" you're relieved to hear that someone else bodied them. Dudes who aren't rappers.

So understand why I'm annoyed. I made it out of that trash alive. It wasn't an outfit to wear. It's still a part of who I am. That's why I get annoyed at Nigerians appropriating that language. They wasn't raised through this type of gun culture hell.

Loool. You are a circus clown (I won't even address you as a yank cos you're a naij clown that got dropped off the boat there lol).

I actually thought you're hood but your bummy arse is from Crown heights of all places. A place that won't even make top 5 hoods in Brooklyn and definitely not top 20 in NYC lol. I know of Bed Stuy, Brownsville, Flat Bush, East New York, and Red Hook. You are a nerd, so stfu when I speak.

I don't need to act hood cos I'm from Peckham the Narm, the grimiest hood in London (only Brixton can compete but my pygs pressured them on their own blocks)...Se15 with a 45 in ya face. The place where US come to pay for protection when they're out in London, you puzzy. A real one with scars, stars, and stripes from back in the day when I was active. I'll slap you in Crown heights and spit in ya face. What do you know about hood? You never banged; never shot food; don't know what a birdie is; never busted a 44 through a 4-door; and sure never learnt no street codes. So what the fvck is ya neeky arse telling me about hood for, you internet nerd?

Even proper yanks know those words are stolen British lingo. The same way they left their baggy clothes for our fashion style. I bet ya bum arse is going to claim the new urban fashion of slim fitted clothes popularised in the US by Kanye and ASAP Rocky after stealing our shyte in London. Heck, I have been seeing "Stone Island" which is our ghetto fabulous designer on US rappers, ASAP rocky, Game, Chris Brown, and Drake lately. Very soon when they popularise it - your bum arse would come here and claim it that it's US hood fashion, you neek lol. Also, all the biggest US hits today have the British sound and the generic form of our house music, created in London. And even the two biggest US hiphop tunes "One Dance" and "Panda" have British sound. I bet ya bum arse would soon claim them as US sound looool.

Yanks stole our words, our fashion, and our sound. "Nigger" and "Snitch" are British words started in the UK and they're part of our urban vernacular, you bum. And you're claiming Crown heights - the softest place in Brooklyn...stop claiming being hood, you neek. Chat shyte and get ya face slapped in Crown heights lol.

I've been all over Brooklyn and I've got cousins born and raised in Brownsville (Van Dyke projects). Been to the projects and jammed with real Brooklyn thoroughbreds and it's all love cos real recognise real. And every time I meet real yanks who are about that life, it's all love cos real recognise real. They don't tell us we stole their words cos they're enlightened enough to know that they're British words and they know about the hoods in London.

Fvck outta here, puzzy lool. Read ya books and stop watching too much hood movies loool.

I don't know why you are dyckriding this bozo. He is not even from a proper hood. Dominicans and Jews run Crown heights...the black people there are mugs and nerds lol. The clown is just trying to feel among and he played himself lol.

Also, unlike the UK where as long as you are black and born/raised in the UK, you are a black Brit - the US is different. African Americans don't even see Nigerians born/raised in the US as part of them. So I don't know why this clown is trying to speak for a group he isn't part of. Talk about a fraud and circus clown.

He should tell me any Nigerian American word I stole - failure to do that would show he's an idiot and a gormless loafer lol.

Yeah I hear ya chief but you have to understand that speaking hood is a world wide epidemic. any part of the world you enter every youth tries to speak or act like african americans. whites, chinese, japanese, filipinos, koreans, indian youths etc etc all try to speak hood. its just a worldwide trend. you gotta let people choose and follow the trends they want. it is what it is lol. dont fight it. just embrace it wink

I don't know why you are dyckriding this bozo. He is not even from a proper hood. Dominicans and Jews run Crown heights...the black people there are mugs and nerds lol. The clown is just trying to feel among and he played himself lol.

Also, unlike the UK where as long as you are black and born/raised in the UK, you are a black Brit - the US is different. African Americans don't even see Nigerians born/raised in the US as part of them. So I don't know why this clown is trying to speak for a group he isn't part of. Talk about a fraud and circus clown.

He should tell me any Nigerian American word I stole - failure to do that would show he's an idiot and a gormless loafer lol.
dyckriding ? is that what you kids nowadays call tryna have an intelligent and civilized discourse with another man ? shocked grin

Lol...

I'm from Franklin Avenue, Crown Heights. Mostly Carribean and African American crown heights. The clap at you part of crown heights. I reaaaaally get annoyed hearing Nigerians talking hood knowing what I grew up around in crack cocaine 1980s through the 90s where bodies were being dropped left and right. Especially being around for real "Niqqas" on that talk that Nigerians and Nigerian Brits are forcing it into their vocabulary. For real "Niqqas" you see around the way knowing they have bodies on their resumes. For real "Niqqas" who when you're waiting for your Chinese food, they walk into the restaurant and you're PRAYING Chin Lee finished with your order because you want to get the hell outta there as fast as possible before he has a reason to notice you. For real "niqqas" you're relieved to hear that someone else bodied them. Dudes who aren't rappers.

So understand why I'm annoyed. I made it out of that trash alive. It wasn't an outfit to wear. It's still a part of who I am. That's why I get annoyed at Nigerians appropriating that language. They wasn't raised through this type of gun culture hell.


Small world. Should have figured this was you when I was reading this thread earlier. I missed the private reception with the Ooni but i ran into you outside MoCADA. It's O.D... from that other place. Thank you for putting together this program. I was impressed with the turnout, the respect for the Ooni and the culture on display from the entourage. It made an impression on Fort Greene and BK in general tonight.

Shymexx--for what it's worth, I know Bigchee (by any another name though). He's a good dude. The gunman talk doesn't really do anything for you or for advancing Yoruba culture. Conceiving and executing this event deserves a salute.

Loool. You are a circus clown (I won't even address you as a yank cos you're a naij clown that got dropped off the boat there lol).

I actually thought you're hood but your bummy arse is from Crown heights of all places. A place that won't even make top 5 hoods in Brooklyn and definitely not top 20 in NYC lol. I know of Bed Stuy, Brownsville, Flat Bush, East New York, and Red Hook. You are a nerd, so stfu when I speak.

I don't need to act hood cos I'm from Peckham the Narm, the grimiest hood in London (only Brixton can compete but my pygs pressured them on their own blocks)...Se15 with a 45 in ya face. The place where US come to pay for protection when they're out in London, you puzzy. A real one with scars, stars, and stripes from back in the day when I was active. I'll slap you in Crown heights and spit in ya face. What do you know about hood? You never banged; never shot food; don't know what a birdie is; never busted a 44 through a 4-door; and sure never learnt no street codes. So what the fvck is ya neeky arse telling me about hood for, you internet nerd?

Even proper yanks know those words are stolen British lingo. The same way they left their baggy clothes for our fashion style. I bet ya bum arse is going to claim the new urban fashion of slim fitted clothes popularised in the US by Kanye and ASAP Rocky after stealing our shyte in London. Heck, I have been seeing "Stone Island" which is our ghetto fabulous designer on US rappers, ASAP rocky, Game, Chris Brown, and Drake lately. Very soon when they popularise it - your bum arse would come here and claim it that it's US hood fashion, you neek lol. Also, all the biggest US hits today have the British sound and the generic form of our house music, created in London. And even the two biggest US hiphop tunes "One Dance" and "Panda" have British sound. I bet ya bum arse would soon claim them as US sound looool.

Yanks stole our words, our fashion, and our sound. "Nigger" and "Snitch" are British words started in the UK and they're part of our urban vernacular, you bum. And you're claiming Crown heights - the softest place in Brooklyn...stop claiming being hood, you neek. Chat shyte and get ya face slapped in Crown heights lol.

I've been all over Brooklyn and I've got cousins born and raised in Brownsville (Van Dyke projects). Been to the projects and jammed with real Brooklyn thoroughbreds and it's all love cos real recognise real. And every time I meet real yanks who are about that life, it's all love cos real recognise real. They don't tell us we stole their words cos they're enlightened enough to know that they're British words and they know about the hoods in London.

Fvck outta here, puzzy lool. Read ya books and stop watching too much hood movies loool.

This is phony as all hell. You try too hard.

But who is the tribalistic person now pls look in the mirror lipsrsealed

Not so, i just abhor the hateful b@ck&forth bickering. it pains me much seeing fellow compatriots damaging whatever fragile ties remain between us. That's why I'd keep calling out any group heading to the extremes per time.

It pays more to dwell on personal antecedents than wide-range generalizations, dontcha think?!

Am ready to celebrate any outstanding Nigerian or even so-called "ordinary" man-on-the-street doing his honest best.

As for all those "yeeboo ipob" vrs "yellowbar" chanters; I think they're all jerks, abeg, waving tribal flags every time, smh.

Thx

N.B
Just for the records, below's my thoughts about the same yooba folks u thought i ws defending:

chachanga:


Most yooba leaders are a disgrace to the word.

Ain't leading sh!t, the lot of them. Dey can't even lead their dysfunctional families right talkless of charting a course and framework for the future of generations of their followers.

A bunch of selfish, sellout inglorious baerstards that God will punis in due time.
