If they like, hate on Yorubas. Our sun has risen. The horizon is ours for the taking.
If they like, ignore us. They will later want for our attention.
If they like, bite us. They’ve bitten more than they can chew.
If they like, mock us. In their heart, they can't deny they love our culture.

Yoruba is beyond you and I. Yoruba identifies a unique set of people. It's an ideology. It's a religion. It's a language. It's a belief. It's unexplainable.

Ask Europeans. Ask North Americans. Ask South Americans.
They've adopted our language and culture.

Ask Beyonce. Ask Drake.
Once they've tasted Yoruba, they talked about it. They loved it.

Oduduwa a gbe wa o. May Oduduwa continue to bless each and everyone of his children.

Yorubaland: Land of the risen sun.

Tribal bigot.
Are they no longer Nigerians now?

The reason why you copied and posted the article and become the first to comment was to tell us how Yoruba is better than others.

The last time I checked, a vehicle manufacturing company is somewhere in Nnewi. Did I hear you say na you get business in Nigeria?
Look around your street in Lagos and see those who own 90% of the businesses there. Every tribe is unique in one way or the other.
I consider this tribal jabs as petty and I hardly discuss it because I am pretty much aware that good and bad can be found in every corner of earth.

Good people like us strive to market the name of Nigeria outside while you bigots disclaim evil and claim only goods even when you do both..

Many more Yoruba businesses will make this list next year. We just keep growing. We're not comfortable with petty trading, we're business minded people. My Yoruba mind got me thinking of so many business ideas right now.
