Is Yoruba Subtly Colonizing? by Omoawoke: 2:47pm On Dec 17, 2023
This is an interesting question

Southwest is the capital of economic activity and center of migration of Nigeria so it’s not a surprise that others are beginning to adopt the culture of the Yorubas in dressing and language.

One major contributor is the Afro-beats that originated from the Yorubas and being dominated by Yorubas. All the way to Canada, Uk, US etc. you hear even foreigners singing in yoruba slangs.

Popular songs like Buga oo, Peru, Lonely at the top was played and loved in several countries across the world. You will see a foreigner singing “wan ni won wa mi…..”

What of the great Fela, king sunny Ade. They created an influence too.

What of the slangs, most slangs are born in Lagos. And travels through the rest of Nigeria, slangs like Idan, Japa or the new Japa-da

Movies too contribute to it, Yorubas being the giant in the nollywood industry. With soap operas like Super story, This life, Papa Ajasco, to current movies like king of boys, wedding party


The Yorubas in Brazil, and other South American countries too contribute. In case you don’t know, the greatest of all time, Michael Jackson was wearing a shirt in his hit song “They don’t really care about us”

And the words written on the shirt is a Yoruba word “Olodumare” written as “Olodum”

Subtly colonizing indeed, go and check when the Subtle colonization started in 2015 and how much the country has lost.the Lagos economy hemorrhage is the worst in the world, all the telcos, manufacturing, services companies are running on loans and making losses.the Naira is gone. The inflation rate is almost 30% , The unemployment rate at staggering 35% , companies are leaving or on their way out.


I drove from lekki to ikeja on Friday afternoon, I counted nothing less than 20 fully street mad people. Prostitution is the order of the day in lekki.

In summary, Nigeria is gone

I’m not surprised

I can see your profile filled with hate, bitterness, bad news, frustration and depression.

Do you ever wish any good thing for yourself not to talk of others. Your wish is for things to go terrible and disintegrate. You are bad news, a cannibal, a frustrated hungry hunchback with nothing good.

You are so obsessed with Lagos, a Yoruba land and your own state is not your business. Please which state are you from? Don’t you have problems in your state to solve, oh I forgot your state is already like Dubai so you are helping us develop Lagos to be like yours.

If you stay in your cursed region, you will not even care about what goes on in Yoruba land, but since you all dropped out of Primary School and jumped into Mallam Audu's trailer carrying Cows from Bornu through Igboland to Lagos to come and sell Gala and La Casera inside Lagos hold-ups and sleep under Lagos bridges, you have all become mentally unstable and chronically hallucinating

Have you stayed in your hopelessly cursed region, are not your brainless brothers and sisters driving rickety carcasses in the name of taxis and selling deadly agbo concoctions killing young men with kidney failures all over Nigeria.

Do you know how many young men in their prime agbo has killed or how many families the fake taxi mechanics and drivers have sent out if the world

Funny thing is that the vagabond lives in Lagos, using Lagos facilities and benefiting from the economic prosperity. Yet same vagabond is after the fall of Lagos. I’ve never seen a self destructive elements like the ipob cannibals. Same way they destroy themselves and region claiming they are fighting Buhari.
Such smelly filthy unintelligent ragtag

You are telling a Yoruba person to leave southwest region while you came all the way from the east, crossed the Niger and came to his region.
Are you sure you aren’t treating a mental sickness?

Like most igbo men I have businesses in Abuja, Lagos, east and port Harcourt. I had a business meeting in Lagos , once Biafra is realized, my business with Lagos ends. Meanwhile your brothers are tailors all over the east, your sisters are selling agbo all-over the east, your brothers are driving carcasses in the name of taxi driving

You mean your gala business?

Please which state are you from? Are you so ashamed of your state you can’t mention it?
If your state means so much to you, you will be so worried about it and a Yoruba state won’t be your problem, check all your topics all centered around Lagos. Don’t you have a direction in life?
You this filthy immigrant.
Onye gala-billionaire .
Once they start to sell spare parts , they think they have arrived -and I blame illiteracy for this. I can bet you are a school dropout

So much empty unnecessary ego.

When we were telling awoke Yoruba people about this shameless ipob cannibals, they thought we were joking. Now that you lost, you are now looking for the downfall of Lagos.
Lagos is what you wanted, Lagos has been entrying your eyes like every other covetous igbos like yourself. Put your mind off Lagos and go develop your own land

See the fool posting in 2017 about the possibility of igbo ruling same Lagos he is hating today. Shameless loser

You really think say na you wise pass. Yorubas will fold their hands and watch you grab Lagos just like that. You must be so daft

It’s pure evil to live in a place, feed there, benefit from there and yet wish evil on that place. That’s the height of evil and stupidity

Your brain may be leaking, go and check the meaning of olodum…. It is a shorten form of Olodumare

If you find a different meaning to it, bring it here
