why are you like this. You lack sense aswear. if you wanna abuse him/her abuse him/her directly why are you generalising this. What of the legends that reside in Nigeria or the great footballers,great singers and so on that are not only known in Africa alone but all over the world. i agree with you that the person is a bad belle, then face him and don't put others into this. The ppl you mentioned up there are they even up to one quarter of the one's in Nigeria. Catch sense na abeg.

its obvious that u re brainless if the truth hurts u and ur so called bad belle crew so much...hug d nearest tranformer!

In addition to your post,
The Yoruba king is not like the ceremonial igbo's Ezes or Hausa's Sarkis you have in Lagos and other Yoruba states. The Alaketu and Onisabe of Benin Republic are ancestral Yoruba kings. They would be equivalent to the likes of the Alaafin, Oba Benin and Ooni if they were in Nigeria.

I am sure they would also have Hausa kings in Northern Benin too, just as there are Hausa's in Niger Republic.

The colonial masters did a lot of damage by splitting people of the same tribes in different countries. That is why there is really no sense of nationality in Nigeria. We are different tribes forcefully merged into a nation. An Hausa from Benin Republic will feel more at home with an Hausa from Nigeria than someone from a different tribe in Niger Republic. A Yoruba from Benin Republic will feel more at home with a Nigerian Yoruba than someone from a different tribe in Benin Republic.

You have said it all. That is why we keep fighting ourselves. It is like merging Spain and France together...even though they share the same border, they are very different, have different cultures, and speak different languages.

Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo is currently in Lagos, Nigeria, and she visited Smooth FM this morning for an interview.

Nigerian singer Asa also visited the studio and both women were happy to see each other.

Angelique is seen drawing Asa in for a long hug before complimenting her footwear.

Angelique Kidjo, who will be performing in Lagos, Nigeria, said it will be her first time performing in the state.



She added that her father was "too afraid" of her mum to bring her here because he feared if she comes here, she won't want to go back to resume school.

Why am I so happy that Burna boy did not win?



That is because you are either a Davido or a Wizkid fan and you want your artist to be the one to win it so that you and his fellow fans can disturb the media space with it and troll the other artist of winning something that he hasn't won. Bunch of insane Nigerians. This Angelique kidjo fifth Grammy award yet no too much noise but trust Nigerians to have disturb everywhere if Burnaboy had won the award

Do benin republic people speak yoruba ni?

Yes ,they do. There are indigenous Yoruba people in Benin ,Togo, Cote d lvoire,Ghana,Brazil, Cuba and other parts of southern America. These people speak their own indigenous form of Yoruba language till date. You can find many Yoruba towns and villages in these countries e g Ajashe,Popo, Sabe ,Bahia State in Brazil etc.

And there are no Yorubas in Republic of Benin? The Yoruba there are just like the Yorubas in Nigeria, they were divided into different countries by the Europeans.
