Ok

nice one....... this Wole Soyinka hair sometimes d b me like cotton wool

I hope Wole Soyinka spoke Yoruba there? Cuz I didn't watch that part on channels

I like this

.

Wonderful, nice one

The beautiful culture of Yoruba people

good

The only reason why I still call myself Nigerian is because of our culture and traditional religion which is being killed off by foreign religion and ideologies.

Otherwise i have no reason to be proud of being Nigerian.

That woman beating the drums is so beautiful.

Feel the vibes

Ara has really put on weight since I saw her years ago, nice to know she can still handle the drums. She is arguably the best female drummer in Africa. Wole Soyinka is always looking very simple, an epitome of humility. The picture of the looter from Bayelsa made me spill my coffee.

Nigeria's got a rich cultural heritage, we don't just sell ourselves well, we should invest im our culture, tourism and trust me, our rural areas will be opened up and development will reach them...

Foolish, greedy and cursed leaders?
Were they not once ordinary citizens and followers before they became political leaders like the LGA Councillors and state lawmakers or religious leaders like imams or pastors?
Who voted for and allows them to be our leaders? Not us? Lagbaja's 200 million mumus?

Wetin concern you now. Some people just like seeking attention sha. Can you tell me where there is no trouble. Atleast if you want to display your stupidity and hatred try and do it secretly. Well this is a faceless forum so nobody will see who is behind this stupid post.
