Tell me, sir, what did you expect? And what's wrong with the last two sentences?

Sagamite:


You are a daft cretinous fuuktard!

Which Okrika History books have you been reading, fuuktard?

Sagamite:


Fck your God(s)!

Koni dafun gbogbo yin. (E no go better for all of you). You and your daft Gods.

You have Gods that made you stuuupid enough to want to die for them?

jstriker442:
read well, what the op posted. Then tell me wat u undastand

peeparty:
you seee my mention?

AnakinSkywalker:



My point?
While Port Harcourt was having street cult groups (debam, dey well and the likes)
pulling hits, burning blocks, Lagos was peaceful and quiet.

The man die woman born another attitude is not a thing you see daily in Lagos.

In fact most of the ''wahala'' were not by the Yoruba boys. They were mainly from guys of Delta Origin and Ibo origin who speak Yoruba.
Back in School, Enforcers, Amoury and Purse where also chosen based on bravey. If you know an XYZ ask him.
They were hardly given to Yoruba boys. I am not saying they were all weak. But the Delta, Bini/Esan, Bayelsa, Rivers boys were known brave hearts.
My observations are not universal. I speak from my own experience.

While the Ogoni confraternity is well known, groups like these (king maker groups) are common even in the Riverine area I come from. However, ogboni is very popular. A lot. So much so it spread from Binis to Yoruba and all through the south west and South east today. There are conclaves.

Compare Soyinka's Pirates and what cult groups became from the mid 90s to early mid 2000s-It shocked even Shoyinka.

Like the guys from ,MI-5/MI-6 Said about James bond. If he appeared today in MI-5/MI-6 he would be given a desk and wont even be allowed on the field. All that hard man stuff is bullshit today. Smarter people can take you down before brute strength.

Anyway let us not celebrate violence.

Nature8:
Everything the Journalist said is perfectly correct..

Kachisbarbie:

Very true. I spent almost 2 decades of my life amongst Yoruba people, they are not inclined to fight.
Though they can do much braggado o, they can make lots of noise , but violence isn't really their thing especially the enlightened ones amongst them. What I noticed is, people that have wrong opinion about Yoruba people_ probably never stayed amongst them or they encountered the wrong set. Every tribe sure has black sheeps...

doveda:


Why don't you go back to what you have written

So far I have been replying to idiot.snot the op's post. You quoted and I replied

What exactly is your problem?

BobbyDean:
I think the oyinbo has said some meaningful things. Yorubas value diplomacy & dialogue, atleast before it gets to fight/war cos they strongly believe life is priceless & only the living can be hopeful of anything(maybe thats why they like turn ups). I think they make an amazing tribe altogether.

ElekeNtioba:


u need to have a good history of yorubas to understand their cowardice. these same people terrorized smaller and lesser-powerful kingdoms like dahomey bt when they came up against d hausa/fulani - an equal-sized empire - they ran away.

They joined the Nigerian side during the civil war, ONLY when they were convinced Biafra is d weaker side and had little international support.

Ishilove:

”Ishioma, you're a disgrace, I swear” is not incendiary??

I come from the south-south of Nigeria, and so do you. This Nnamdi Kanu asked the Igbos in the east to attack the northerners. If this were to happen and their brethren in Lagos retaliate, I and my household and other innocent people will be lumped together with Igbos and attacked.

If rejoicing that the dangerous bufoon is incarcerated is a disgrace, then the disgrace is just beginning.

If you don't know how to express yourself without insults, I beg you, because of the relationship we have, DON'T QUOTE ME because I will not hold back when I'm dishing it out to you very hot.

jstriker442:
you guys are so quick to resort to insults.
Very childish nd not the best way to begin a year.
We not talking bout jst fighting bro. But standing for wat u believe, defending it nt to hide @ d slightest provocation Thats why i said read nd repost. Maybe we understood differently. I dnt hate no tribe neither am i a tribalist.

#team1naija

the op jst dd a description of cowardice

jomoh:


I know a lot of ABC and I grew and lived in their mist. Even as at today I'm still going to see at least 2 of them.

What we are talking about here is not about who made it popular but who started it. It might be an in vogue thing in the east today and the West might not be able to stand against them as of today but it can never be dismissed that it actually started from the West.

Everything you see on the street today actually started from palace traditions of ritual carrying cult groups before it was mixed with the higher institution confraternity which brought the violence.

The West had being their done it even though the west cannot stand in comparism with the East of today.

Its like Terrorism. People tend to forget that terrorism actually started with christian extremists but the activities of today's Islamic sects dwarfs the violence of the original terrorists.

A agree with you not to promote violence.

daretodiffer:

You are right

Losing is the worst thing

Warriors are those who survive wars

If you rush into a fight, you will lose and you will end up dead

Setaje:
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.

Sagamite:


You are a cretinous fuuktard!

A cretin saying he would die for his Gods and lands is talking about "dumb"?

Ko ni da fun in 2016. (E no go better for you in 2016).

Fuuktard, you are asking is I see how dumb I am? I am suppose to be the one seeing self-dumbness?

Cretin!

teamchocolate:
And that is wisdom, which side yoruba for join before? The losing side?


It shows yorubas are very intelligent. They analyse issues before they take decisions

Not like some fools across the Niger, all mouth no brain
