Hausa youth reportedly beat up his Yoruba counterpart

Fanyogoyogo:
I imagine this thread to delight Igbos who are so full of hate and delight in anything bad against Yorubas. Yet Yorubas will still host these people within their midsts.

Watch for a collection of "slave" "master" "kill them" etc.




Same poster with multiple ID calling his Yoruba masters slave just because Yorubas fail to grant them Biafra.
