abdulazeez1002:What is wrong with ranching.Almost everybody agreed on ranches.Everybody including you know that this ruga thing is being done to acquire lands for the Fulanis.This is a bad initiative. |
Menance:Thanks for showing that Yorubas have never been Barbarians walking the earth naked since the outset of the Yoruba race.Yorubas were empire builders as early as 1600 while you OSUS did not know how to make clothes and also eating rotten, decayed,smelling rare meats up to 1934. Look at your dad and sisters in their birthday wears walking all over alaigbo with smelly totoris. ![]()

GBTYO:News from OSULAND ![]() |
Menance:OSUs like you have always been Barbarians because Osu tableheads like you learnt how to wear clothes very recently in 1921 to show how daft and mumuish you are. Who argues with grave Osu barbarians like these....?

NwaGodl1000:Most are fake news from blogs.I think SEUN should do something about this, Nothing like that happened in Ado Ekiti.One can verify these fake news by going to the environment to find out even from the police.It is a culture somewhere in Nigeria but a grave taboo in Yorubaland. |
EmagNig:Look very well.It will be an O.......S......U. OSU. The same thing they did in UNN. https://www.nairaland.com/5114240/poor-condition-hostels-university-nigeria |
maestroferddi:What is the name of Achebe's masterpiece ? |
MetaPhysical:It is really disheartening,bros.If they had conquered the Yorubas and taken it by conquest,it will be understandable but they took it by deceit. An emir was killed by the Yorubas and another one banished to sokoto but the whites reinstated him.The case later went as far as the supreme Court.A white paper was sought for but the FGN have not allowed the white paper to see daylight. |
deji17:Just slapped their inferiority on their faces ![]() |

YUNGCONCEPT11:I suspect you are one of these Fulani Yoruba. They always support the abnormally called emir in Yorubaland. The only saving grace of the emir is still Nigeria/Govt not even religion per se. No matter how long Afonja household will still take over their rightful inheritance.They have very strong muslim brethren that will protect Islam if that is what Ilorin people want. |
pazienza:May God bless you.This is serious.I saw something like this ish at a newsstand one day and I was startled.Kudos to you. |
Okay |
cnonyechi:You are a trader. You don't know how to browse.

IkpuMmadu:lol This is what you meant.

bluke:lol |
awgumayor:lol If Igbos have the kind of achievements Yorubas have then and now,I dunno what they will call themselves,gods? The difference between Yorubas and Igbos is that Yorubas are the most achieved but they do this modestly while Igbos with less achievements,are noisemakers and chestbeaters. Yorubas have continued to soar up,up and the sky is the limit as they say. Electing Yorubas or Igbos to an elective position in which Yoruba even holds the highest office in foreign land and which they will relinquish very soon in is a little achievement compared to science and technological breakthrough which Yorubas are definitely the masters. You said Yorubas have gone on reverse? Are you just crawling out of a cave or what? These are just a few recent achievements which Igbos do not come close to...

genabc:Though,both of them were very good,only Soyinka had a masterpiece. Only the best in the world had masterpieces.Soyinka was too classically a wordsmith,one of the best in the world. Da Vinci Code,who was the best seller in the world,did not win the Nobel Prize,why? If the Nobel Prize is to be awarded million of times,Soyinka will still win it before Achebe is considered. Prof Soyinka is an all rounder.....prose,essays,novels etc. Achebe never had a masterpiece but Soyinka does. Qualities of a Masterpiece: Artistry. sense of beauty. Suggestiveness. emotions and imagination. Intellectual Value. realize fundamental truths about life. Permanence. endures through the ages. Universality. appeal to a great number of people. Style. author's unique way of expressing his or her thoughts. Spiritual Value. motivate and inspire. This is from Harvard University:
