good one

Kkk

I have nothing to say

We cannot allow foreign culture to eradicate our culture it's just unacceptable. While Africans in Africa are distancing themselves from their rich and beautiful culture, blacks in diaspora especially slaves descendants are making all efforts to connect to their ancestral culture.
If we Africans want to progress and be counted among successful race in the world, we have to be proud of our history, culture and identity.

which used to be?

Royalty in it's splendor

Great one

u don't know what u are say, this small kid that travel any how running his mouth at any event like spoiled kid,who's taking him for a serious king?

More than just an ethnic group , We are a Race of many nation.

Tribalist will take over the thread soon but don't forget
to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how hate works and operates

Long live the King, long live the Yoruba tribe... Ashe.
