Clinton9000:Damn!, i can't just believe an adult will turn mere Rock naming himself Okeye in movie to this again. You're sooooo immature. Ode, you're the one dragging feet with yourself. Nobody ask you question, na u dey ask yourself question, na you dey answer yourself. At least you have said your mind now, you should have peace. Another name for igbo is immaturity, noise makers and inferiority complex. Always looking for means to start a tribe fight because of inferiority complex. Because Rock use Igbo name in movie now, we wont rest again. You're too childish. Ha! Sorry for you people. With all your noise making, struggle everyday and competition, it's still hard for you to beat Afonjas. Some people make noise and struggle to be something, but some other people are naturally blessed, even when they don't struggle or compete, they are still making it. Better work on your life and family to be somebody in life instead of coming here to show how childish and immature you're. Height of immature minds! Shaking my head. 3 Likes |

my good people of God, good day once More... please this message from our beloved brother saint Paul, the man that is full of light of God, and Christ in the spirit is using him as a mouth piece to teach us what we need to know about our God who is a great spirit personality, please brethren, if you still haven't understood the program of the kingdom of God in this particular point in time, and still stocked in the doctrine of the so called physical Church of Christ (temple) instead of your heart and your spirit, and not holding unto the doctrine and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, and you can hardly agree with your fellow brethren who do not worship God in your so called physical church of Christ (temple) your are still on the stone age,and can never please God that way, please follow this scripture and get the clear knowledge of this our great God and how He is ought to be worshipped. it is written in John 4:24, about you in particular, and about our father God himself, study these here in act 17:22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you. 24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’b As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’c 29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlookedsuch ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead. God bless you. |

skales67:Gringo, Dope, Fast and Furious 6. I even gave you three movies. Outside Nigeria sef, non-Nigerian Yorubas rock. e.g Adebayor in Togo, popular grammy award winner Angeligue Kidjo who sang many Yoruba songs. You people are very very immature in your heads. I even feel ashamed having to be doing this with you when there are more important things to do with my life. If care is not taking, you will make one become childish and immature like you. Immature, noise making, childish, inferiority complex igbo tribe. You people should grow up, honestly. |

CSTR1003:Bro, it's a big shame. Your people have to change, they're very childish. I always wonder if that's how you're all being brought up or each parent always train their children to be hateful, tribalistic and get childish any small issue about tribe. It's becoming too much. |

CSTR1003:Sorry for generalizing bro, only thing is, when you see immature tribe comments on social media. You'll will see many likes meaning that, majority of Igbos think same way and approve of such immature posts. Only few mature people like you try to correct such issue. As much as i like and respect Igbos, the tribe issue is too dominant in their lives and that is a big turn off. That thing pisses someone off a lot. |

Re: Dwayne Johnson Reveals Why He Used a Nigerian Name 'Okoye' In His Movie 'Rampage by Nobody: 12:57pm On Apr 13, 2018 |
CSTR1003:Don't be ignorant. It's common sense thing. Someone post something, 90 likes it, only 5 person quotes it to correct it. 90 ratio 5. You don't need the whole population, one only needs a sample of a population to know the fact. Anyway, you said I shouldn't coat you again. No problem. I've tried to be reasonable and polite enough. If hate is what you're brought up with in your tribe, hate is not a virtue to our tribe, that's the reason why i'm always surprised at the immaturity of your people. Thank you. 1 Like |

NwaAmaikpe: Stop all these tribal rants of yours. Sorry to follow your tribal path but just for you to know: Afonja names are not only used in Hollywood movies, Afonjas act them and as well speak their language in these movies. Stop being stupid. |

Gratefulheart1: 95 interactions, How do you make such assumptions from 95 interactions? I'm neither igbo, yoruba or hausa and i like or quote comments if/when i please. Some people do it because they fancy the poster or they just feel like or it was funny to them. Calm your nerves. 90 likes on an online forum is not equal to 90 votes of agreement from a particular group of people. It is a very wrong assumption. |
Re: Dwayne Johnson Reveals Why He Used a Nigerian Name 'Okoye' In His Movie 'Rampage by skales67(m): 1:20pm On Apr 13, 2018 |
Gratefulheart1: You even proved me right by replying my comment. What is Gringo? It is not a popular Yoruba name and if you check well, it means a loy in other languages in the world. As for the "Dope"...it was pronounced as DOPE...a synonym used in describing something that is classy eg: "Mehn, this car is dope!" and not your yoruba Dope name. Small thing now una go claim say NIKE (the sports wear manufacturing giant) is Nike (Shape form of Adenike). As for you mentioning yorubas doing well outside, don't even go there because a list of Igbos making waves in different spheres of life in diaspora will drown your Yoruba list. |
