This is why Nigeria is not and can never be a great nation, you have to assume this sh*t despite reading a bit about the man who has achieved more than anyone to ever graced your lineage...

Note: I'm a Yoruba man, in case you wanna know.

You should have corrected him without insults , not to insult someone's lineage please let's stop it and live in peace and harmony

It is not a quote for losers but it is reality, the main message about this very quote is not to be anxious for anything and to live in love and harmony.

My fellow pained yoruba muslim agbero. The man have achieved everything your 10th generation will never achieve.

Make peace with that and concentrate on throwing amala balls into your dirty odoriferous ewedu mouth in oshogbo.

Sorry for those insult the other guy throwed at you but please let's live in love and harmony, not in insults, remember what ever you wish for others is what you will also get in return, so let's stop insulting generations who are innocent, you never know his generation could produce some greater , never under estimate anybody. Please let's live in love and harmony
