Jews are proud of their Abraham,Moses,
Yitzhak Rabin and Yoni Netenyahu.

Yorubas should be proud...#OmoOduduwa

If you are not a proud Yoruba man or woman, then reading this should awaken that in you which was non existing.

All Yoruba man or woman should strive to emulate heroes gone past and be the first among equals.

The sky is the limit, only for those who are lazy to keep pushing, the sky is just the beginning of what is to come!!

This is the culture section.

And I chose to celebrate the Yorubas. This is strictly for Yorubas to appreciate themselves and strive to be better in all they do.

If you chose to celebrate Nigerians as a whole you can go and create your own thread for that.

Don't come on another persons thread to tell her what she can do or not.

Am a lady not a Sir!

No problem, I get your point now.

You know what makes sense. Being a unified country/nation.
Your list is great. How about you put some more effort into listing everything every Nigerian has done and have gotten recognized for.

No difference in what you just did above with your list and what Blacks as a whole are going tru in the US. Trying to up one culture or race against the rest (even though you didn't explicitly say or do so)is not a good human move.

And yes, I am yoruba to the core. Both Parents.

I'd love to see a post on how Yorubas, Igbos and Hausas have come together to work together. More unity, peace and love. Less division, hate and bigotry.

I rep #theHumanRace.

Hey OP, change title of this post.

YORUBA, pioneer, trailblazer, navigator ahead of others!

C'mon!!
