We are talking about Nigeria born writers of Nigerian citizenship

Her dad is Yoruba. Her grandfather is also Yoruba.

You mean her dad did not qualify her as a Nigerian?

What do you mean by Nigeria born? So someone must be born in Nigeria before they can claim blood ties?

Give una Oba of Benin nonentity the phone to banter with me.

A Yoruba boy bantering with an Edo minority will be an overkill.

Lol πŸ˜‚ imagine an Edo person dissing the almighty Yoruba tribe.

If you can give Oba of Benin the phone, me and him can banter.

By the way, that’s a weak comeback. Moto park collectors dey every state but Olosho in Italy are only produced by one state.

Lol πŸ˜‚. She was not raised with poverty like most Edo girls.

I hear say all of them don turn baby mama finish for yahoo boys. Do you mean poverty is the reason why most Edo girls do prostitution in Italy?

Shame on Oba of Benin. Even his curse back them did not stop his people from selling kitten globally.

If the woman was Igbo and an Igbo person simply commented "Igbo amaka", you and your ilk will come in here and start foaming from your mouths about how igbos love to brag and beat their chests, whereas you just wish you could do the same. The truth is that you're jealous that they have more bragging rights, and to you, bragging rights on the internet is very important.

Atleast add Nigerian before the Tribe name. Simple

Correct me if I'm wrong

I don't think any Nigerian has ever won the Booker Prize Award



Ben Okri won it in 1991.

While some honest, talented and hardworking individuals be earnestly making us proud, our politicians and their rag tagged armies in the character of yahoo boys, are busy damaging our reputation globally.

Dt person Ur talking to is Igbo and not Edo. It's one of their monikers they use to try brainwashing Nigerians against yorubas.

It is comforting to see people still read books. The fuckery happening on Nairaland almost convinced me otherwise

Hahaha. Ishi, social media is quite different from reality. A lot of people still read books actually. I know of people buying hard cover of books or having a particular book as a birthday wishlist from Roving Heights book store.

And if it's not hard covers, there are soft copies readily available. cheesy
