see how peaceful this thread is,,

nobody is here shouting "chestbeating"

nobody cared about bringing igbo celebrities to compare with these ones

nobody cared about calling the female celebrities on the list ashawos

nobody is painfully laughing


#just yorubas celebrating themselves in peace,,,


if it was igbos now,,,,ur guess is as good as mine

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

Some Deltans of Onicha-Ugbo, etc are Igbos by paternal lineage and not by marriage.

Yeah, FON has a rship with the Yoruba nation but not Yoruba
Going by this, would you agree with me that the Yoruba isn't a tribe but a nation? Yoruba is a conglomerate of different tribes brought together by military interest.

Some of NLers are so unintelligent
So, how did your Wiki page allege even that Kidjo is Yoruba? When did maternal rship give an identity?
I really don't wanna engage you in the name calling as you might be frustrated and I'm not part of that.
When and where did Anioma say they are outrightly not Igbo?
Esan is not and can't be Igbo, so what are you saying?

If I get you right which I don't know if to agree with you or not.
This is what I understand.

Yoruba is an Ethnic group.
All the different dialects are tribes including Igala and Itshekiri and Olukunmi plus those in different countries.

but when everyone comes together to unite and form a country is term Yoruba Nation.
