Lol, see this idiot abusing Yoruba and still using Yoruba words in his terrible rants. Were Lomo Nna Yi Ke o.....Hope everybody can see it that there is nothing you can do without the Yorubas in this country called Nigeria. You either hate or like that tribe but they are still the leader among the tribes, first among equals. Nna men, just accept the fact that when somebody pass you, nothing you can do than to go sleep or kill yasef, Yoruba pass your tribe...just accept it and give your miserable live some peace. Ndo...Daalu

Even though I am not Yoruba by birth, I simply love that tribe.....I love their personalities, their peaceful demeanor always, the intelligent, the accommodative disposition, the lovely language and the facts that they ain't limited to Nigeria, Africa alone but in North America, South America, Central America and not as a migrant but as an indigenes of that such countries. I also discovered that most Yorubas that were carried away as slaves in the 14 to 16th century kept their cultures so well and now it's making a prominent of their ancestry and already accepted and integrated into the mainstream of those countries indigenous people such Brazil, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Saint Lucia, Benin, Togo, Brazil, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, to name a few. Omg! The Yorubas are indigenous to all these countries. The only tribe that's not limited to their ancestral land of South West of Nigeria, West Africa but transcend to the other continents.....I hail o You Yorubas all over, I am one of you guys also but adopted Yorubas....Awa Lagba, Gidigidi.....Ese...Modupe..

I stopped wishing way back after NYSC.

Meanwhile let them continue displaying their stupidity in d form of religious and ethnic bigotry.

Do u know nigerians discriminate against each other even in their religious gatherings? It's that bad.

These r d same people that will call whites all manner of names when they hear of racial discrimination against blacks.

So no single title of film they acted, the best you can do is to go and list a random names for us right?? And I now that because someone talked about Yoruba good people now, that has given you guys unnecessary homeworks, no rest for you again, your next assignments now is to go and be searching internet like a mad man looking for Igbo next rated actors without one movie title.

Stop being too jealous whenever other tribes are metioned doing good. No one said your tribe men don't live overseas, everyone has one or two things doing over there. Every tribe is good. Hausa/Fulani has good people over there, Ijaw, Itshekiri, Benin, Calabas, Benue, Akwa Iboms, Yorubas, Igbos etc, Nigeria is doing good. But the problem of superiority mindsets is very synonymous to you guys trying to claim or prove it's only your igbo tribe that's good in everything.
You can do better by just reading, applauding without bringing your people into it but you won't. SMH
