KingKingKing:
Yoruba is a people, a tribe, a country, the most widely spoken language in Africa.

It can never be trademarked.

Proud to be Yoruba.

If I come this world again I must turn Yoruba.

God bless Yoruba
God bless Nigeria.

Tinubuadvocate:
Timbuktu is not a Yoruba word. Timbuktu was a slave trade point located in Mali. All the slave paraded in interior must brought to Timbuktu for slave merchants.

temitope27:
I said except it's enemy, I know u re trying to bring tribal things into it, u ibo people just get to much problem

They have also emailed Ms Isimi to say they have filed an application to surrender their “Yoruba” trademark registration.

A representative of Timbuktu Global told the BBC “the matter has been concluded”.

BabaIbo:
Keep deceiving yourself. Igbo, Hausa, Swahili, Zulu are more valuable. They didn't tamper with those ones because they know the stuff their people are made of.

Mister Man go to countries like Brazil were Yoruba is an official language. Yoruba remains the ONLY African culture that is indigenous in South America. Don't dull yourself. Travel. I used to think with 'local' brain like you until I got my passport and started traveling the world. There is hardly any country in South America were Yoruba culture is not practiced. Go to Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, etc. and see how the Yoruba culture is embraced wholeheartedly. Again travel and liberate yourself from foolishness.

They would have used oyoloba.. nobody for hassle them

oga go sit down

BabaIbo:
're dense, you know nothing when it comes to Nigeria languages in diaspora. All the 3 major Nigerian languages are spoken in foreign countries.
You are sitting in one mud house in Ogbomosho to spew trash. Just as Yoruba is spoken in those countries you listed, that is how Igbo is also spoken in United States, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Belize, Barbados, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas, Equatorial Guinea. Do you know that the first king of independent Haiti is an Igbo slave? You don't know. Hausa is also spoken in other countries, mostly African countries.

Mikecold:
Try Yoruba Muslim


That one is a plague no one can trademark

Guy Igbo not on the same level with Yoruba in Caribbean or South America. Not even close by any stretch of the Imagination. I have been to most of these countries you are listing. i am talking from experience. Yoruba culture is the single most influential African culture BY FAR in the Carribean and South America. In fact, there is a religion simply called YORUBA or Santeria that spans Brazil, Columbia all the way to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. It is based on IFA and the Yoruba gods (Sango, Yemoja, Ogun etc.). Amadioha is not recognized, my guy. Don't argue with me on this. You will embarrass yourself big time. I have receipts. Back away now that you still can. In this aspect of life, Igbos have no standing whatsoever.

BabaIbo:
Shut the fvck up please and stop this empty rant. I don't type things that are not backed up with facts. Yoruba culture is the single blah blah blah. Aside from Brazil, you have no sizeable presence compared to Igbos in any other countries in Southern or Northern America.
Support your assertions with official documents or facts, don't come and be using your usual "nigbati nigbati" brain here. Even in Canada, the numbers of Igbos there is higher than that of other Nigerians ethnic groups combined. I don't want to go to other continents, that one na finishing for you. Igbos are way ahead of you folks in all spheres/faces of life. Henceforth, I will only respond to your mention if it includes facts/official figures. LOL, Nairaland is a faceless forum where some people thinks they are better or more traveled than others.

They don't because it's useless...... nobody concerns themselves with useless stuff, plus Igbo and Swahili shouldn't be in the same sentence......Yoruba is a tribe on the rise, our destiny is to rule Africa.

The British are just good thieves

They have never been known to produce anything worthwhile

They just package and repackage what belongs to others

E.g Mango Park, the bitch ass nigga
