Not until you apologise for that incendiary comment you posted yesterday. Honestly, I expected better from you and i was so disappointed that you could write such

I don't think I should be the one to apologise for incendiary comment. Buhari went "incendiaricly" rebellious yesterday and you guys were having orgasms while at it

Anyways.. I love you still (That could pass for an apology too I suppose)

Hardly. Mostly prefer weed to alcohol as we find alcohol to be the most disgusting and primitive substance.

Yeah, yorubas are quite nice and laid back, we had this one Yoruba bloke in our class back in the day, spoke hausa quite well, sometimes you'd forget he's yoruba, hardly cares about religion.

Also find that yorubas have a lot of interfaith and intertribal marriages, even though it's islamically allowed if you try something like that where I'm from, not that were bigots, you get banished or worse. Lol! Even bringing a non hausa home gets you in trouble.

Was he praising or insulting the Yorubas? The so-called Whiteman can't even write in perfect English expressions. This shows that every race has its shortcomings.

what if he was dutch or an Argentinian?

What part of his write-up is grammatically incorrect?

Re: What A Blaine Harden Wrote About Yoruba People by dejilg(m): 10:45am On Jan 01, 2016

the religious part is quite funny though!!! but its worth noting that over the years, the Yorubas have seen that war isn't the answer, it will breed contempt, nobody wants to be a loser!!! as we can see with this Biafra thing, it probably won't go away

That shit up there just gets me laughing!!!

Well we know they believe death is not an option in any confrontation.

A living dog is better than a dead lion. That is their philosopy.

Although now dem dey form cult and hard men after places like PH and Warri don dey abandon am finish.

While to some other tribes (like mine), death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man

Anyway, Yoruba's are doing well.

If I say what is on mind, we might be banned for one night grin

+ at the motor park, if you see some of them in contest, all you notice is ...wristwatch is pulled, shirt, belt and shoes are removed and they run in circles with their opponent/opppsition.

+ the first punch is a slap not blow.

+ followed by noise

+ then one runs to get bottle

+ the other runs to get plank

+ the rest is noise, noise and too weak to fight for their rights.

And before some idiots come to say they are cowards. Remember that before we became one Nigeria, yorubas have fought so many wars within themselves. War is never the answer to any question. Nothing as worthy as dialogue, diplomacy and respect of boundaries.

Thank you o! Those people will never understand why the wise will always go further than the physically strong...they feel everything is solved by fighting.

this doesn't even make sense, how can one prefer hard drugs to alcohol? how can a fermented grape juice ( also called wine) be more disgusting than nicotine? I don't get it..which is more natural of the two? oh well, to each his own.

The Journalist is right with the part where he says the Yoruba were reluctant participants in the Biafra war, but was wrong on the rest.

Mr Blaine Harden was very observant tho. I am sure the locality he observed was what he described! English and its euphemistic manner of insults lol. For me it was very funny. No tribe is as Islamic as the Hausas in Naija and no tribe is as Christian as the Ibos. Yoruba just merge the thing ni. He didn't say the Hausa n Igbos r superior sha.

Really? Just because you are used to hyperboles and over exaggeration does not mean the rest of the world does. He is not trying to praise or insult anyone. He is just stating the facts as he sees it.
