Naira land topics can be sooooo childish. Igbos especially revel in this kind of discourse. Their brainwaves are naturally always base & low. Im just really dissapointed in all d Yorubas responding & arguing on this thread. Its not every insanity u respond to. Social media is not an excuse to start living in d mud wt mud pple. Grow up.

Then there's this lady ( I think Igbo ) who acted in one of this series I used to watch on DSTV , can't remember the title of the series , maybe NCIS or CSI

There's also this British comedienne of Yoruba parentage who is doing quite well in the US

When I remember their names I'll post it



Modified : The comedian is Gina Obedapo Yashere , a Briton born of a Nigerian mother. Gina as a young girl always used to visit Lagos , Nigeria and is well acquainted with her maternal side.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Yashere


You all may well know her as Mrs Omokorede , a comedy skit , very popular on the internet and can be seen on many phones. There's one where she visits her daughter's school with her daughter to complain about some things to the teacher and another one where she visits a therapist/psychologist with her husband.
