AuroraB:This is a wrong mentality in the 21st century. And you are a woman for that matter. Are you saying if you marry outside your tribe, the child is not yours? Biologically, it probably belongs to the mother more. She fed him in her womb. Na just spermm papa pour. 2 Likes 1 Share |

We despise the Whites because of their Racist attitude, yet can't see that we are even worse. The tribalism that Nairaland is now synonymous with is just appalling. Hate, strife, bitterness...clouding our judgement, tainting even the simplest of discussions. Quite shamefully really. We are even worse than our Fathers. 4 Likes 1 Share |

“I grew up in a Nigerian home,” Antetokounmpo said. “Obviously, I was born in Greece and went to school in Greece. But at the end of the day when I go home, there is no Greek culture. It’s straight-up Nigerian culture. It’s about discipline, it’s about respecting your elders, having morals.” You have got to love this guy------Adetokunbo, based on this little interview he gave. His name was was misspelled, he said. It appears he is tired of people referring to him as a Greek and not said anything about his nigerian roots. He is a straight talker. He holds nothing back. Love it! That is why I like interview because it reveals a lot about a person. From now on, I will be reading news stories about him. He is someone I can relate to. 2 Likes 1 Share |
