Similarities Between The Southwest Nigerian Yoruba And The Usa by kodewrita(m): 9:02am On Apr 18, 2011
I guess in the southwest we sometimes act like americans.

We would rather live here than anywhere else.

We believe the rest copy us. (Go as far as kenya. You'll sit geles sitting pretty on many african women's heads).
(About music: A few yoruba words here and there can raise your growing music career by some hundred thousand CDs).


We buy and sell mostly within.

We allow aliens n immigrants to settle in. The Three Talking Statues in Lagos or the normal central Roundabout Statues in our many cities would be our own version of the statue of Liberty.

We try to fight moral wars.

We are businessmen at heart who protect our core interests.

We tend to value hard working people.

We value education and smart people too.

We live large when we have it (many wives, many cars, many pieces of meat).

We remove leaders that grow too big for their britches.
