These guys are everywhere

I guess their originality is the reason why they could easily penetrate any settings and still get celebrated

In a world where everyone is fast abandoning their identity to feel western, Some group wanna make their own identity go global


They are great

"Yoruba represents an important and influential ethnic group in Africa"

The upcoming tribe from the other side known for dick measuring won't like this.

Truly, Yoruba lagba.

Congratulations yoruba people.
Awesome!

Thank you Dallas for the honour. This is highly commendable and we Yoruba don't make light of this honour. Thank you. E śeun lopo lopo.

We urge other communities, especially Yoruba communities in the Caribbeans, to declare Yoruba Day too.

The sweat and blood from the brows of our forebears built their societies and we will love them to honour our Yoruba forebears.

Hopefully, some day the United Nations will recognise the International Day of The Yoruba to cement our place in the history and advancement of mankind. Check my signature for free stuffs!

That's very nice. America (heartbeat of the world) recognizing Nigeria and Africa at large..

Nigeria, with its diverse ethnic groups, is supposed to be a blessing and not the other way round..

White men know the things that gets Africans: tribal pride, religion, etc... So they deliberately gorge and flatter them with those things while they (the whites) focus on what really matters.
So many blacks will feel so honoured with this move, while the banters will commence about whose ethnic group have the bragging rights... The hate they feel for themselves will deepen and it will collectively cost them all that really matters like economic prosperity, socio-political stability, etc..
Sometimes, it is difficult not to see Africans as subhumans...
