Some 🤡s like to say "Yorubas don't travel".

We just don't travel to unsafe regions. That's all.

Lol the only available West African Language in my school in Canada is Yoruba

It's either you click Yoruba or you don't click any west African language.

What I understand when they say Yorubas don't travel is... "Yorubas don't constitute nuisance wherever they are" cool

I really struggle to believe there are more Yorubas in the USA than Igbos.

I am suspecting maybe Yorubas just teach their kids their indigenous language more than Igbos.

There are more Yorubas in the UK than Igbo. I struggle to believe that is also the case in the USA.

Reason why yorubas are thought to be lily livered and cowards...No pun intended.

It makes no sense. Why should i go to places where my safety is not guaranteed while US dey there? Will you to go to Maiduguri over Yankee because you not lilly-lilvered? Even if you can throw jibe, do it constructively. Yorubas are more strategic than you. That's why you keep chasing yet you have more hypertension than them. You put yourself I trouble and develop high blood pressure.

I agreed with you Yorubas are not suicidal, imagine a Yoruba man dieing in Ethiopian jail, or getting roasted and cannibalized in Laos and other God forsaken places.

If the figures are like that purely because Yorubas speak their language at home to their kids more than Igbos, then it is a huge achievement.

No wonder those countries are blocking their borders so Nigerians won't come there anymore.


Yorubas and their son Hushpuppy and other rapist have successfully damaged and destroyed the image of Nigerians there

For one Hushpuppy, there are five hundred drug barons from your erosion ravaged region in Asian prisons

90% of people arrested by the NDLEA this year are from your region.

Better to be a drug pusher that sells the supply to others than be a ritualistic unrepentant dubious Afonjizy ready to use their brothers and sisters for rituals that won't amount to N20,000
