I am happy to be a Yoruba man. We are very civilized and intelligent of which this trend has proved that. As many of you who keep having headache because of us, I wish u more strenght to be sad over our prosperity. Igbos are my friends but if u are tribalistic u aren't one.

(1.) You are yoruba if you evolved from Oduduwa (if Oduduwa is your ancestor) (2.) You are yoruba if you are from the south west of Nigeria (3.) You MAY claim yoruba if just one of your parents/either your father or mother is from the south west (4.) You are yoruba if other tribes in Nigeria are always envious of you, abuse you and yet refuse to leave your land because it is filled with milk and honey (5.)You are yoruba if you're wonderfully made (6.) And lastly, you are yoruba if you are from the same tribe as Awolowo (the man that defeated a coward called ojuiku and his okoro brothers). Unlike a group of people who are situated on the opposite side of the map where the yoruba people are located who- (1.) Started a war that they knew they could never win (2.) The back of their head is majorly flat (3.) Are red skinned like palm oil (4.) Pronounce palm oil as palm oyel (5.) Must add palm oil and ugwu leaf to every meal (imagine my girlfriend from that region making indomie and added palm oil and leaves to it. I almost pucked. Yuck!! Dats nasty!!) (6.) All they think about is money, money and money. They can do anything for money including stuffing hard drugs in their a.n.u.s and using all their family members for money ritual (7.) Their men are always short and stocky (8.) They don't know how to combine colours (they can wear purple shades + yellow tie + green shirt + pink trouser + red shoes

The Yorubas are very secured with no inferiority complex. It is only those who feel inferior that bashes on other tribes to show their 'fake' superiority. I am Yoruba, and very proud to be, haters can go and commit suicide.
