First They Came. . . (Warning to all) by EzeUche(m): 4:33pm On Dec 25, 2011
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

But as we are stuck with Mr. Goodluck and Dame Patience,
May God grant us the fortitude to bear the loss with patience and pray for the good luck that the Boko Haram will fizzle out.
God help Nigeria.
Amen.

It is not too hard understand who "they" is, like it is not too hard to realize that "they" meant in the original version was the Nazis.

Wtout mentioning name we all knows that yorubas are very tribalistic and dnt even mention igbos as bn tribal coz we are the most accommodating tribe.


Sure. But answer me this:

How come yall stay dying to emigrate to the Yoruba side while leaving yall homes deserted. You hate them so much yet u live in they houses and eat their food. Thats what I (and the world) dont get about you iBOs: how can u be so ungrateful?
