For your information Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon top 50 greatest NBA players grew up in Surulere Lagos, before he took over the basketball world, your talent will always make room for you to excel if you choose to.
i bet olajuwon is not d only basketballer in naija. Maybe dz olajuwon get connection nd knows people, which brings us back to my actual point. Mke u get all d talent in dz world, it's just nt enuf to thrive in dz naija. U've got to know people nd have d connection to get to d desired destination u so wish. Bt in saner climes, it is different. All u just need is d talent nd hardwork. No unecessary wuru wuru.

Proudly Odua.. we export greatness unlike some people whose names I won't mention.

The best fighters in the world, the top movie and music actors and legends, grammy award winners, Nobel laureate, the bookworms and efiwes.. you just name them.
Indeed the Creator Himself blessed the Yoruba race.


He is both Igbo and Yoruba just like Davido's son. Both ethnic groups made him so chill with your foolishness.

I can see you're involved in spiritism, be careful cos it's an endless pit of demonic lies. So many have gone insane trying to seek things they ought not to.

You don't have to accept this, but Christ is the only way, the truth and Life.

Have a nice day.

Exactly. When I realised this, I knew we were the strongest on earth. Being the largest country in Africa, we are also the major representative of the black race.

All the Jamaicans, Haitians other Carribean countries have their ancestry from West Africa and majorly from Nigeria. If Usain Bolt checked his ancestry, it would most likely lead him back to Nigeria... Mark my words.

Nigeria is far greater than what we think.

Only because Nigerians sold more slaves.

His state of origin is his father's state. Surname is more important to first name. Rotimi Amechi is not a Yoruba man.

There is nothing like both. If your father is Yoruba, you are Yoruba it doesn't matter the tribe of your mother. He can celebrate his mother's culture as much as he wants but he will always remain a Yoruba man. Yemi Alade does same. Her music is mostly Igbotic but Yemi Alade remains a Yoruba woman.

Just like Hakeem Olajuwon short and skinny? Olodo. Look at the picture of his father a tall man. His Igbo mother is very short.

And the tallest Nigerian is a Yoruba guy. And everyone knows Igbos are among the shortest in Nigeria.
