Unless for devine intervention, They can never come together. One is a sabotuer while the other always goes for what is right and what they want

One is intelligent and sophisticated.

The other is full of chestbeating, dishonest cowards who are products of baby factories and brothels.

Igbo Amaka.

They have invented their own. It's called Yoruba Lagba.

There is nothing wrong with copying, just that you can't be original

Once again Igbo nma nma nu

Where is lalasticlala

Young and vibrant lady. Am sure if it were to be in one country,she would have grown grey hair before becoming prof

This is a good new, first because she's a Nigerian and secondly because she's a female.

Ladies reading this, you can do much better than subjecting yourselves to public ridicule by a futureless young man.

You're not created a horse meant primarily for riding, you're not created to be a "hoe", "asshole", "slay mama" or whatever name the society has labeled all ladies based on prejudice and hasty generalization unless you decide to be one.

I'm neither a feminist nor a preacher of gender equality but I think the society need to accord women more respect and our women should show that they merit such.

Congratulations to Our Sister.

she's a genius and she's beautiful♥️

She is got Danziel Washington look. Keep the flag(greenwhitegreen) flying.

One is known for sabotage. The other known for greed.

sorry to say this, each time a Nigerian is doing well outside the shores of Nigeria it's either he/she is a yoruba or Igbo, the Hausa's what happened to them?

IGBO AMAKA!!!

This is great! So proud of her. Many Nigerians have the ability to rise and shine when the opportunity presents itself. More grace, greater achievements to her.
