That is serious.

If that company went unchallenged, it means any use of the word "Yoruba" in business would mean an intellectual theft.

The problem with people that have got very deep seated ethnic bigotry and insecurity is that u can't share a joke with them. Everything is viewed thru a very narrow tribal prism..

No black race is great and the greatest race. There are areas of improvement overall but nothing wrong with being black. It's a great continent with great people.

Bros thanks i know that... but i tell you what as a black dude here, it is better to deal with other race than to deal with black race business wise. Our people always think of cheating you even some members in church are not honest. Why? My mate bought brand new phone from Asian dude here he paid 6 installment after that he pick his phone up but naija omo no try am. Few years ago someone (old dude in his 60s) gave naija money agent £2,000 to send to naija the agent vanish to tin air this agent na naija oo why are some Nigerian so horrible home and abroad?

Look at this story now someone trademarking "yoruba " what is your take on it bro cuz naija matter tire me big time.

Kings selling our people to white in exchange for biscuits chocolate and mirrors. Just pathetic.

This is another form of Kidnapping “ Corporate Kidnapping “ of Yoruba Heritage and they even tried to collect Ransoms and called it a “Trademark Purchase “

Later somebody will come here and claim Yorubas are over 200 million people and thy are the largest/most populous tribe in the word cheesy grin.
Yet their root is about to be stolen by a total stranger.

Who knows, this guy maybe the future governor of Lagos or Yoruba/Odua Nation.
This one he's trademarking it.

After stealing artifacts, you still want to steal tribal names and names of places. You even have the nerve to say the place is fictional, so as to make it appear as your creation. Then worst of all the UK intellectual office will say it's valid without researching the claims.

Abeg who knows the address of the trademark office in Abuja. I want to trademark the words "Queen of England" immediately.

The reason why the whites have the guts to do this is because Africans, for the most part, have abandoned African tradition and religions. You all worship Jewish, Arab or European gods and you think Europeans and Arabs will respect you? Think again.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Igbo, Hausa, Swahili, Zulu are more valuable.

They didn't tamper with those ones because they know the stuff their people are made of.
