M serving in Igbo land but seriously I don't feel like I am away from home. Cos we have influenced everything from music to meeting igbos that are fluent in Yoruba and appreciated the fact that we speak our language with this "Bleep restriction" mentality. Omo Yoruba to the core. 21 Likes 2 Shares |
