Shebi you can create threads to mock other tribes, why don't you create threads to promote your "achievements"?

Is it his fault that you don't have achievements to show?
You are crying because you have nothing to show.

For those of you that says Yoruba is successful in this country because of government,
Yoruba is the most successful in UK and USA too, UK and USA government must be helping Yoruba to marginalize Igbo cheesy

Are you guys never tired of this Tribalism War on social media

because Nigerians are so daft,.. we only speak error grammers ,vote into power visionless leaders and a week later start lamenting...

Let's take life easy haba...gan.

You read it right

Your generation usually use government favour to discredit Yoruba success in this country, the UK and USA government must also be favouring Yoruba over Igbo right ?

Yoruba have billionaire in USA and UK no tribe in Africa have that feat. [/quot

So you are happy when u wake up every morning and see that one of your tribesman is rich among millions of others that lived in poverty. Your goal in life must be great. Keep It up.

Go and work so that your kids will have something to eat after you are gone. The people who you are referring to didn't make those success for you to insert your failed self and inherit. They did it for themselves and family alone.

Stop salivating over another man's success. This is the problem of you tribalistic baboons on both sides of the divide. Go and hustle for your family cos I know for a fact that those successful men will be laughing at your foolishness whether you are Yoruba or Igbo, they don't know you neither did they make success for your insecure and low self-esteem emanating from the fact that you can't refer to someone from your immediate family, not your father, mother, sister or brother... but someone far away that does not know you exist or share anything remotely close with you aside from the "Yoruba" or "Igbo" tag.

If you die now, do you think they will feel like they lost someone? NO... They won't even spare 1 second on your grave because you are not in any way close to them. That is how far apart you are with them.

THIS IS 2024. GO AND WORK!

first source of income please. did he skull mine or yahoo?
cos if na the Igbos, their first source is always drugs.
if na hausa na terrorism.
so please tell us the first source of this afonjas income.

the pig above me is right, afonjas are not mates with anybody when it comes to skull mining . same way Igbo Igbos are not mates with anybody when it comes to drugs.


Always be honest and mention everything you’re good at; Drug, Kidnapping, Fake drinks, fake medicine, Robbery, Cars stolen and 419.

oga, go and make your own money and tell your own story . That Awotona I knew didnt know anyone by tribe.

Moderators should watch you closely. The way and manner you smuggle tribalism into this forum is taking a dangerous dimension.

bro take it easy this man is not the course of Nigeria problem, if u feel pained hold the president responsible that's why it's your president.

Most of you are senseless.

Those economies that you all praise and adore are built on the backs of private enterprise, goodwill and charity.

Endowments, jobs provided, privately built infrastructure, fundamental problems of society solved, taxable income etc.

You think it was unwise for Dangote to site his refinery in Nigeria?

Go and ban him now! òde.

Did he stop you from creating a topic to promote your culture? If anyone should be banned for bigotry, it should be you that hate seeing other person promoting his culture not him that is proud of his heritage.
