It's high time we normalized putting diacritical marks on our Yorùbá language. Take at a look about animation film titled "iwájú" having diacritical marks.
maasoap: Banjo didn't die for Nigeria, Ojukwu murdered him in cold blood because he "thought" Banjo failed to make Biafra happen for him. So much responsibility on the shoulder of young innocent confused Yoruba boy. And what did he himself do? He wore skirts and blouse with headtie, tucked his dick between his legs and cowardly ran out of the country
Such cowardice by Ojukwu is unprecedented in the history of mankind. He was a coward to the core.
Rahkman: its not famzing u guys should ask urselves why interethnic children especially if the male na yoruba always disassociates themselves from u envious ronus..... whether na yemi alade giannis ugo davido or gbadebo.....there is something wrong with una. most of them don't even marry yoruba they either marry igbos or foreigners, hereby closing the entire lineage of the tribe of their father u guys should ask urselves while they don't associate with their father tribe ....see what u did to Betty and don't be surprised if those kids identify as igbo in the future
Stop being delusional.
So the late Isiaka Adeleke, his brothers - Dèjì and Démọ́lá(Governor of Osun State) - and Dúpẹ́ are what again?
Yẹmí Àlàdé is what then? Even the names should have been enough for you to know their identities.
PROUDIGBO: Don't mistake general male misogyny and politically-inspired greed/exclusion, that's common to all ethnicities, with ethnic-inspired exclusion as you try to allude to on here! You want to here how Mrs Bianca Ojukwu was treated by greedy politicians in Anambra state!?
Does this looks like a play to you? Stop playing, the format don cast. E don cast.
TopBanter: If not for the fact many Nigerian lack personal success and fulfillment, meaning they must claim the greatness of others they have ethnic and clan affiliation with, then what is this stupid thread existing for?
Why the desperation to claim this guy as an ethnic kinsman?
Let any celeb or dignitary freely claim whatever ethnicity they want. No bonafide Yoruba should try and co-opt anyone to feel, think or identify as Yoruba whatever their status.
To me, it is never an omoluabi trait to famz those who do not not understand what it means to be Yoruba and do not take pride in our immense heritage, culture and glorious empire history (eg Ife and Owo Kingdom) that are some of the greatest in Africa.
Some Yorubas need to stop embarrassing us trying to claim this basketball dude or others like him who are conflicted about their ethnicity. It is what Igbos l, like the OP, do because deep inferiority complex leaves them wanting to claim all successful folks even if 0.0001% Igbo.
Yorubas never do that because, generally, we understand what genuine, historical and contemporary greatness means.
It is ignorant and poorly educated Yoruba ‘skits generation’ ,jumping into the mud of asinine d1ck comparison with insecure Igbos, like the OP, giving threads like this life.
"To me, it is never an omoluabi trait to famz those who do not not understand what it means to be Yoruba and do not take pride in our immense heritage, culture". We dash them Chinedu Gbadebo and Ugo Giannis to massage their inferiority complex.
Dedetwo: I guess the situation exits because Yoruba joined the northern regional elites to prosecute a war against Ndigbo and Biafrans. During the period of war, Ndigbo saw exactly what Yoruba person represents, a turncoat.
So Professor Wole Soyinka is what? Is he not Yorùbá?
You hate the truth and reality just to justify your hatred towards Yorùbá.
Slytiger: Infact, Governor Adeleke speaks pure Igbo and Yoruba. He even campaigned with Igbo language.
Gbarebo was rejected because he is a tribalist. All his insults on the Yorubas were exposed before the election band that secured his defeat. Lots of people that voted Peter Obi voted for Sanwo Olu.
Exactly, I would have expected the Igbos not to entertain such disparaging remarks against Yorùbá made by Chinedu Gbadebo and condemn his that act. But alas, they are in full support of him making derogatory remarks towards Yorùbá.
They are not at fault sha. It's a grave shortcomings of both Ugo Giannis and Chinedu Gbadebo's fathers.
masseratti: he has Yoruba surname that suffice enough for him and he has igbo name too, success has many friends and family if he is a criminal am pretty sure you won't open a thread to celebrate him, there are many igbo and Yoruba professionals in NBA, Hakeem olajunwon etc are there, my point is no one hates anyone Goodluck to him, he is not putting food on my table so no one cares.
Even Kareem Abdul Jabbar before Hakeem Olajuwon and both are proud of their Yorùbá roots.
koondog: Message to tribalists, don't think Giannis Ugochukwu Antetokoump doesn't know what you guys did to Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour, also with Igbo mother, in the last Lagos election. I can tell you he's fully aware and disgusted by that side of him. He knows same fate awaits him in the future and him resembling Igbo makes it far more worse for him.
For him to come out openly at his age and stature to identify as Ugochukwu, should send a serious message to the tribalists in Southwest, to be aware of the implications of your actions. What you did to Gbadebo will have a ripple effect and a long distrust from children born by Yoruba father and Igbo mother to identify with the side that embraces them. I'm not here to tell you which side but these kids know which side they feel comfortable with.
Seun, this is not tribalism, this is meant to educate our people to understand the implications of their actions and to stop tribalism.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, was his mother not Igbo? Don't forget he was voted for as a senator before becoming the governor.
His brother was also a one-term governor of the state and was a senator that had represented Osun West Senatorial District.
So how and why is Chinedu Gbadebo's own different?
PrinceofSarcasm: Seun mynd44 obinoscopy nlfpmd Dominique mukina2
Rule 2
It seems you are suffering from Dunning-Kruger effect. And you somehow have a warped understanding of reality because if not, you wouldn't be mentioning the mods aimlessly every now and then.
In fact you deserve to be banned for raising a false alarm. To educate yourself, kindly read the rules of Nairaland before you comment so as to limit the undeserved mentioning of the mods. It's you that derailed this wonderful thread with your tribalism and I'm even more surprised that the mods are yet to ban you from commenting further.
So, it's safe to say that the mods are always against Yorùbá on Nairaland because if it were to be a Yorùbá that derailed any thread, such moniker would have been banned. Seun and his mods are encouraging tribal slur against Yorùbá.
bignero: foool you can see the world saw how gbadebo was treated..you think any normal person will want to associate with your type?
hows giannis yoruber and vivour isnt? you see you people are close to animals?...fualni no go school and act like beats...una papa go small school yet your skull minning speclaits...imagine say una no see school at all, na cannibal una for be.
keep to una smellos and leave igbo chicks alone
Could you please tell us how Chinedu Gbadebo was treated?
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, was his mother not Igbo? Don't forget he voted as a senator before becoming the governor.
His brother was also a one-term governor of the state and was a senator that had represented Osun West Senatorial District.
@seun has let you be becos you are yoruba like him
Some of us who don’t go as far as you get lengthy bans
Nigeria problem is embedded in tribalism
Why are you an hypocrite? Isn't it amusing that you failed to see your kin who was the first to comment derailed this beautiful thread with his tribalism.
bignero: shud da phuck up...how is giannis a yoruber, but gbadebo is ipob?
sincerely your lot are just well branded fulani terrosits, they kill people, you are disguised as educated people, but your specliaty is skull minning...same class as fulani,infact your worse because fulani no go school, una papas go small school, imagine if your papa no go school, na cannibal una for be una just get branding, especially the ronu animals in una, how a thief, hired fake bishops, drug baron, zero cert, and your lot , even profs etc are defending him,,,thats just animal behaviour
This is the tribal slur Nairaland stands against and so far no action has been taken by the mods against this nincompoop.
Kokorokomanaoga: How does someone praising the feats of his tribesmen translate to tribalism, if you are not ashamed of your tribe why dont you post and praise their achievements too? That means the likes of anambraIstson etc should be banned too?
Something is definitely wrong with those idi0ts from rising criminal area. All they cry of is victimization day and night as if the world is against them.
PrinceofSarcasm: That tribalist FreeStuffsNG will soon come here and create topic because the person is Yoruba.
The guy doesn't even think like a normal person beyond tribalism. I don't know why he wasn't banned permanently.
Seun if you want to clean Nairaland accounts like FreeStuffsNG should be banned permanently. He only created topics for one tribe and intentionally avoids achievements of southeast southsouth of Northerners.
Ban that account permanently!
Is your head paining you? What an entitled nitwit.
