Full blown ko AIDS ni

Obi1kenobi:
This is silly. Every single African American is descended from Africans - mostly West African/Nigerian coastal tribes. I'm sure Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson's ancestors were Yoruba or Igbo or Bini or Efik or wherever. To say Kareem is Yoruba because his ancestors who were Yoruba arrived the Americas in the 18th century is stupid. He's American. Simple. Stop claiming nonsense. You already have Olajuwon to be proud of.

So what? Don't you know the meaning of dominate? If we talk about who dominate basketball, it is obviously the Igbos, even the WNBA(American Women Basketball League) is dominated by Igbos. Just like if we talk about who dominates boxing and martial arts, it is obviously the Yorubas even though the best Nigerian boxer of all time and second in Africa, Dick Tiger is Igbo. There is a difference between domination and having a few best.

zinizta:
You are silly.

Did I put the words in his mouth?

zinizta:
No tribe dominates what..

It is all based on diligence and application

I just stated facts to you

Dominance or not

Yorubas don't dominate boxing FYI

CSTRR:
If you put osibanjo and Peter obi in a class, and give them an exam on how to cut down cost of governance.

The difference in practicality between both of them would be so obvious you don't need anyone to tell you who is more suited for high governance.

One would be giving us dizzing English and high sounding verbosity, while the other will give good concrete actions.

No prizes for guessing the most practical.

I don't support nonsense and start crying about it after foeur years.

So how come Anambra is still not better than Ragos?
Obi was in charge of Anambra for 8 good years na, zobo no dey sell again na tiger but milk people dey buy jor.

Chi133:
They are all igbos. Is just Igbos vs USA

Obi1kenobi:
I'm pretty certain Kareem Abdul Jabbar doesn't speak Yoruba and never even visited Yoruba land. He is not Yoruba in any meaningful way. Because a black American traces his ancestry to an African tribe (which is pretty much every black American in existence) does not make them members of that tribe. The point is obvious. You're trying to claim an American who was not in anyway moulded by Yoruba culture.

theTranslator:
is oni an Igbo name?

theTranslator:
You're very wrong

So because I was born in Germany and can't speak Yoruba means I am not yoruba?
Do you know that even some white people are Yoruba?
Search Ibeyi on YouTube

Besides the guy never said the NBA guys were "Yoruba"
He said they have "Yoruba ascestory"

Stop making your tribal bias show

TheRareGem1:
I like this man. He Sabi.

He knows how e dey go for town

At least we won't hear "We are marginalized on this thread"

CSTRR:
Was osinbajo responsible for Lagos?
Was he ever a governor?

Do you know the state of anambra before Peter obi came in?
An absolute mess.

It was Peter obi that gave that state a direction.
And they impeached him for refusing to approve a corrupt contract, which he later overruled in court.

Let osibanjo go and govern a state and let us see how capable he is before comparing him to Peter obi.

TheRareGem1:
Bro, he doesn't need to govern a state, how we had a taste of his leadership as acting President is convincing enough to let him climb the top mantle.

CSTRR:
The taste of his leadership?

Like keeping quiet in the midst of gross misgovernance.
Keeping quiet in the midst of inflation, high crime rate, insecurity, rising unemployment, rising social entropy.

Look at what vice president Bawumia has done for Ghana in terms of policy creation and reforms.

The year of return that he created has brought billions of dollars in tourism revenue and investments to Ghana and opened them to the world
That is just a few of his reforms.
And he did those in his first four years as vice president.

Can you compare that to what your commissioner in Chief has done in 8 years?
The man that likes giving nice speeches with minimal active impact.

You must be a masochist.
Hopefully, Nigerians are much smarter than you.

Amotolongbo:
How come no one isn’t reporting the defeat Argentina Basketball team suffered yesterday in the hands of D’Tigers by 94-71?

Argentina is the 4th in Basket Ball world ranking.

Look out for the D’Tigers in Tokyo

TheRareGem1:
Next is Australia. I think the third in the world ranking...a win for Nigeria, a plus for us at Tokyo Olympic games.

TheRareGem1:
Yes taste of governance while he was acting, still remain fresh in our memories. You can't even deny it. Yes, he's vice/ deputy and doesn't make things happen or call the shot unless duties delegated to him by his boss but when he was acting, c'mon you can't yank off that. Even opposition praised him. Ask Buhari to remain in London. When is time for truth, say it, it doesn't hurt.

We know we have a docile P but he has the utmost power. Call the shot.

Adelaja, baba e onikuuuure

O ma shan ku ni, iwo omo ale jatijati!

Fu..cking vacuous troglodyte...

Together with the brainless bats who liked your post, you are all bloody insane.

Osinbaje, Buhari, APC and all of their supporters, it shall not be well with you all.

Plebs!

Uchasa:
Your analysis doesn't work in this context. We are talking about an African American not a Nigerian born abroad. They are two different things.

Kadafun gbogbo idile... E ma so fun Danu ni.

theTranslator:
You are saying the same thing

An African American that knows his roots is no different from a Nigerian born abroad

CSTRR:
The country has degenerated to shit while he is vice president and you are still making tasteless argument.

He is vice president, the second most powerful in Nigeria right now, not some commoner.

He has tremendous power.

You don't have to wait for Buhari to stay in London before you can feel the impact of the vice president.

I even gave you example of Bawumia of ghana.

Even when Buhari was in London, what special thing did he do if you are honest with yourself?

He is better than Buhari, I agree.
But Buhari is a very low bar.
Any fool can be better than Buhari.

Being just better than Buhari is not enough to repair and redirect this highly dysfunctional country.

SMh.

zinizta:
Even when he said he is Yoruba with his own mouth?

Wetin be your problem I wan know??

He is from Trinidad and Tobago and his parents were Yoruba. He moved to Us as a child.

I still dey try figure out your problem

Search Ibeyi on YouTube

Besides the guy never said the NBA guys were "Yoruba"
He said they have "Yoruba ascestry"
