Na wa o.....pls I И̣̣̣̥o won spoil o,besides the topic is abt the impression of the African abroad

Warri _Pikin: Yes o! Bros, abeg advise them to go back to their state.Even Yoruba must leave our oil industry they have been fleecing and go dig their own oil well in Ondo.

The sad thing is, it is not only the oil industry now,Yoruba don full the whole Port Harcourt now. Even pure water hawkers,bus conductors,petty traders on every street corner selling indomie and yam in PH are now Yoruba! Which kind of nonsense be that?

Wetin happen to selling their pure water in Ogbomosho or Akure? Why can't they sell their yams and petty trade in Owo or Iseyin? Don't people eat yams there? Or must they always overpopulate PH just to sell us yams?
I no even wan mention Warri at all here. Now even our local ashewo in Warri have been displaced by massive yoruba girls invasion. Let everybody go back to their states.

I am tired of seeing non-indigenes in my state.

are they not all Nigerians?can they reside anywhere they can?isn't it the same constitution that covers all states?....don't sound like a Nazi,is it 'cause U̶̲̥̅̊ happen 2 reside in your state of origin,stop acting selfish [quote author=Warri _Pikin]

“Are You From Africa?” And Other
Stupid Questions
Kovie Biakolo
In the 6th grade or “Standard 6″ as it is called
in Botswana where I lived at the time, my
teacher once said, “There are no stupid
questions.” I really liked my 6th grade teacher
but I’m calling bullshit on that one. There are
stupid questions, lots of them. After six years of
living in America as an African, it is high time I
call out the stupidity that I have faced in this
context.
1. Are you from Africa? This is just a really
annoying question and it’s stupid because
technically, I am “from Africa,” but Africa is a
continent. And while I, specifically, may be
complicated because I was born in Nigeria but
lived elsewhere, you still don’t get a pass.
Universally, nobody claims to be from a
continent. We claim to be from a city, from a
state, and from a country. But, asking me if
I’m from Africa is like asking you if you’re from
North America or Europe or Asia, etc. It’s
stupid, isn’t it? Stop asking me if I’m from a
continent.
2. Do you speak African? Really? Okay let’s
put this in the context of other continents once
again. Do you ask someone from a country in
Asia if they speak Asian? Or do you ask
someone from a country in Europe, if they
speak European? Exactly, you probably don’t.
“African” is not a language. And while we’re at
it, don’t add “an” to the end of the name of a
country and assume it’s a language. (Ex.”Do
you speak Nigerian?”) What the heck do people
learn in school these days? It’s better to simply
ask, “What languages do you speak in country
X?” It’s not that hard people.
3. How do you speak English so well? Gee,
I don’t know – how do you? Wait, you probably
learned it at school or spoke it at home or
come from a country where English is widely
spoken. As it turns out, Britain kind of
colonized many African countries too so guess
what? Many of us speak English. Weird.
4. How did you get here? This was one of
my favorites in college. I would sarcastically tell
people that I swam from Cape Town to Florida,
and then hitchhiked to the mid-west from
there. I really don’t understand what I’m
supposed to do with this question. Are you
asking me my reasoning for choosing this city
or what mode of transportation I used to get to
America? Or do you think that Africans are all
so poor that I must be a refugee? And even if
the latter, were true, it would still likely have
been by plane as far as transportation is
concerned. In any case, let’s at least clarify the
stupidity.
5. What is Africa like? I’m always taken by
surprise whenever I get asked this question.
What do you mean, “What is Africa like?” Do
you know how many African countries there
are? 54. Explaining what one African country
“is like” may be tasking enough, now you’re
asking me to explain 54. Are you asking what
the culture is like? Or what the weather is like?
Are you asking whether my family lives in a hut
or hunts for their dinner every night? Are you
asking if I roamed around with lions in the wild
or whether I wear clothes when I go back to
the homeland? Again, I need some clarification
here.
Okay, this became a sarcastic rant and I’m not
really sorry about it. The point I’m trying to
make is that I am tired of having to pretend to
find stupid question about Africa endearing.
They’re not endearing and they’re
not innocuous; most of them are flat-out
ignorant, and you make me feel embarrassed
for you. I will be glad to satisfy your curiosity
but there is a way to go about asking
questions, intelligently. We live in world that is
increasingly becomingly a global village and
one in which Google is literally at your finger
tips – use it.

We all know that corruption isn't synonymous with Africans but the system & setup there in those countries entails that U̶̲̥̅̊ don't get away with it

Symphony007: the tamil tigers were'nt extinguished violently, they were negociated with and they siezed hostility. The british government negociated with the iRA which led to the "good friday agreement" and today the leader of the IRA is the deputy first minister of northern ireland. If you understand terrorism you know how hard it is to stop it.

Its obvious the poster was only being sarcastic since he feels some nairalanders are of the opinion that only ibos commit such crimes.
Forget the op's moniker, you can be sure he is an ibo person.

its И̣̣̣̥o excuse,many more people simply read the headlines than they do checking out the threads......remember that many topics flood nairaland every minute

With threads like " Alafin Of Oyo Confirms Yoruba
