i have been thinking some people are on the northern Nigeria payroll. dividing the south is the contract paid for? they always bring something that divides the south in favour of the north.


anyway I know, if the south is not used against itself, the north would have gone extinction.

I advice, them to stop mess...g camel.

But they are kings and Queens ruling over a Kingdom of their own in the white mans land, something that your tribe will never be able to achieve in a thousand years to come



In the heirachy of Slaves the Yoruba presided over the others because of their high level of intelligence and sophistication and that is why their Language and ol cultures survived in those colonial countries up till date.

Igbo slaves however were third class slaves. They were used for the most demeaning and dehumanizing tasks because they were very good at manual labour that requires no intelligence just like we have in present day Nigeria, hence they had no opinion and their culture and sense of identity was completely balkanized.
Inteligence? Lol. Mr story teller

I see u begging for peace nw but honestly i had so much fun today, dont knw when i'd av d time to do dis again so just njoy it for nw. The truth is u aint close to the xperience av got but i wont stoop so low to brag dats one tin i dont do but if anyone insults me or my tribe, amo reply in double folds its just plain simple angry
bstringz:


Alright "Mr-am-free-today" continue being free and have a fun filled day typing nonsense.Mr brugge is right am just trying helplessly to douse deep hate in the heart of people like you.
Note:Am not supporting any sides, I could av talked to anyone. But the way u were calling people bastard was just uncalled for. The way u type and throw insults shows your level. And I hope you have promoted your "culture"
I always thought yoruba people as very respectful. But just one boys stupidity won't change my opinion. I hope that teaches one or two things on how not to generalise things.
I also hope you won't find your self in a situation where you wud need an Ibo man to help you. I haven't called you any names at least that tells you a bit of my level. Life experiences has thought me to be humble the best I can cos I know where God picked me from, I have learnt so much from people irrespective of Tribe.

You have seen some shops at Alaba yea?? If you know the amount of money that changes hands everyday there you would appreciate and learn hard work from the Ibo man as I have learnt respect from the yoruba man. Alaba is a major Commerce center in lagos.

Don't worry you would learn as you advance more in life.
I won't reply you after this.I hope you can either not reply for peace sake or reply like an educated fellow.

You sound like what we'd call a house ngger.

You should be typing in your language not using western grammer, when you fall sick go to your juju priest don't visit western hospitals, why learn western education when you can understudy your ifa priests? hypocrite.

I'm home now - let me give you the information I talked about earlier, before I jump out and hit the streets.

The village isn't in Philly - it's in Miami and it's called: Osun Village. I believe the lawmakers in FL gave them a large expanse of land, for a cultural village about a decade ago and I'm sure the village is up and running now.

Then there's an annual Yoruba street festival/parade called, "Odunde Festival" in Philly.

haha the brown roof thing. funny cuz all pictures of the east has brown roof too. seems like they like projecting their insecurities unto us. thats one skill i have noticed with the biafran mandem

Loool. They're pagans and dem afi burn for that shiit. grin

I'm not even gonna lie, that shiit always piss me off. I was reading the Ibadan thread the other day and the whole thing was just nauseating. If these folks weren't stuck on stupid attacking a city bigger than the whole of Biafraland all the time, with gazillion of Biafrans migrating there in droves - I don't think there will be need for folks to create unnecessary threads to defend Ibadan all the time.

A few weeks ago, I also saw a thread some guy created about the best cities in naij apart from Lagos and Abuja. This mofo cited Ibadan but of all the gazillion number of pics of Ibadan in world - the idiotic Biafran had to use the pics of brown roofs loool. These folks always look for trouble, but when you smack them back with the hand of God, they'll start crying foul everywhere, hence I don't give two fvcks about their emotions. They're the perpetual whiners of naij, anyway - so who cares? - they'll always cry regardless.

I'm out, big bredrin. Safe.

Why trying so hard to make a point and still can't? Do you know the meaning of ancient? Many of those buildings has been erected long before you're born and was classic around those period! So if all your point is centred on brown roof then you have no point. Oyo, Ibadan used to be a Mega city hence the reason for the brown roof.

Or perhaps you have reading disability and comprehension isn't ya forte? Maybe acute glaucoma - who knows? Anyway, if you're blinkered to discern something written in plain English - I shall break it down for you by using an example that's somewhat similar.

See London is a tourist city, though it makes most of its revenue via banking. In the 50s and 60s they built loads of big council flats across London but as time went by and more and more black and Asian immigrants started arriving, due to how the system never catered to them - they turned those council estates into crime havens and shittholes. Thus making the crime capital if Europe. So recently, the government started urban renewal and gentrification to give the city a new and attract more investors and tourists. And most of the council flats were pulled down, for modern buildings and all the blacks and Asians occupying them before were either moved to other places in London or outside London - and the problematic ones either thrown in jail or deported back to their countries if they had a criminal past with lengthy spell as long as they were not born in the UK. Regardless of how young you were when you arrived in the UK, what legal papers you've got, or the gazillion of years you've here. Now all those places that used to have loads of council estates and are crime ridden are occupied by modern buildings with most white middle class with hipsters (hippies) and yuppies. That is the image of London they show everywhere. So imagine folks spamming places they're trying to showcase that new image of London - with the pictures of those old 50s and 60s council flats. Who would see that and want to visit the place or find it an attraction?

Now back to the pictures of brown roofs. We all know Ibadan has brown roofs and they represent the past. However, those ancient buildings have been badly mismanaged and they look like slums and also hazardous. I'm Yoruba and I love Yoruba history/culture but I don't find those buildings attractive at all. Heck, they don't represent anything to me due to how they have been mismanaged. Evidently, if I'm on a thread trying to see what Ibadan looks like - I don't want Igbo spamming pictures of brown roofs all over my face. I want to see the nice parts of Ibadan and all the great things Ibadan has to offer. Ditto any potential tourist/investor trying to see what Ibadan has to offer. The ancient nonsense doesn't cut it with me - just tell ya Igbotic folks to stop spamming everywhere with pictures of brown roofs.

Wow! 20 pages full of mind bogling hatreds between two tribes, yet nigerians claim they are RELIGIOUS calling Gods name every seconds, churches and pastors in every street corners.

Nigerians could not even obey one simple commandment in their so called Bible which says LOVE THY NEIGHBOR! So were is the LOVE?!
