In sports, you only mentioned basketball players. In American Football, I can give you 10 names of Yoruba descent coupled with some from Basketball.

Yoruba's dey para unto achievements outside. No be for chest beating!

Tb Joshua alone accounted for 60℅ of foreign tourists in the country in 2018.

Tb joshua Emmanuel TV is the most viewed christian channel on you tube.

The Zimbabwean parliament once debated to emulate Joshua in terms of tourism development in Zimbabwe

After his highly successful crusades in the Americas, from Colombia , Peru, mexico etc
the former mayor of baraquilla ( Colombia fourth largest city ) came to give Joshua the keys to the city after his crusade changed the fortune of the city tremendously.

in 2017, Paraguay conferred Joshua with the highest honour,National Order Of Merit With Distinction, the first and only time such would be given to non citizen.

In 2016, he was given the key to LA Victoria, a popular part of Lima ( Peru's capital) and the Peruvian armed forces honoured him with the highest military decoration.


....... The mere fact that yorubas do not shout does not give a group that started wearing clothes less than two centuries ago the audacity to look yorubas in the face in terms of achievement.

don't let us lie to ourselves. there's this feeling you feel when someone from your region or tribe does something spectacular that none has done before.we feel connected more to our brethren than people with strange ideas,notions and culture.
there's always supremacy battle in all spheres of life.
one section trying to outsmart and outdo the other.na normal thing
in as much racism still exists in this world tribalism isn't going to leave us either. we can only manage it.

What you said will result in us Never getting along in this Nigeria.
You are hailing Yoruba tribe alone instead of being happy for the whole nation Nigeria, which will invite tribal rivalry.
Westerners don't ever talk like that. They just hail their whole country or state, NY , CA, TX... But not mentioning their tribe everytime -Apache, Cherokee, irish, German, Scandinavian... If they keep saying it in every conversation, their national unity will fall apart and they fight each other on tribal grounds

I normally watch that Richard Ayoade comedy clips on YouTube. The guy is very funny in a nerd way.
Whenever they interview him, he just says his mother in Norwegian and his father is Nigerian. He never says which tribe in Nigeria. Though, we all know from his surname name. But that's how he himself chooses to identify.

We Yorubas usually don’t chest beat because it’s just not fair for Daddies to be chest beating, it feels like bullying.

But a particular tribe has been on a rampage disrespecting us, so we just want to remind that tribe that we are not mates on any level, any aspect, physically, mentally and spiritually we Yorubas will always remain ahead of them, that’s all.

nwannem,
I wish I can like this post twice,I don't know why "Igbo Amaka" pains their Oblong amala head,it is just as if Igbo Amaka is an insult

It's a open secret that the average Yoruba man's day is not complete without looking for a Igbo man to hate

we all saw how they hijacked the Most influential Igbo thread and started mentioning how Otedola is richer than all of those Igbos mentioned

Serious inferiority complex my dear.
Just ignore all these shittz

You really shouldn't be doing this with a tribe that is obviously your junior. Let them have the floor and feel good.

Imagine having to dick measure with a tribe that went through serious war. That tells Alot..
