You are right to some extent.
Both there are people in Nigeria that went to bed with empty stomach and they don't even know when the next meal will be ready.

We don't steal ideas but we're very good in copying them while white will always look for a way to steal our ideas to make them theirs.

What's Bukateria?

It is Buka.

Don't coin, reform, reframe or rearrange it in anyway. It's as simple as BUKA.

I'll rather stick with the ones I know which is what most people are familiar with. That's the essence of communication in the first place.
Many are not familiar with Bukateria.

Anyway that's my choice. You're entitled to yours.

Nah. Read your history books very well. The Yorubas were/are cowards who played snitches, spies and saboteurs (ie Awolowo) to the FMC during the Civil War and after. Only Benjamin Adekunle was brave enough to go to war and I will tell you why. Adekunle was born in Kaduna. His father was a native of Ogbomosho, while his mother was of the Bachama ethnicity (Adamawa). He underwent secondary education at the government college, Okene (now known as Abdul Aziz Atta Memorial College, Okene, in present-day Kogi State). He enlisted in the Nigerian Army in 1958 shortly after completing his school certificate examinations. He never lived in yorubaland but up north. Adekule is a yoruba man by name but hausa by bred, upbringing and undisputable maternal affiliation. No purebred yoruba man can go to a fight singlehandedly or collectively talk much of going to war. Never forget this, the hurriedly put together Biafra troops with little or no warfare preparation and no concrete STRUCTURE took on the already formidable federal troops and advanced up to Ore in Ondo state. Had it not being for your your inbuilt sabotaging nature, we all know what history would have been. Keep hating on the Igbos, who pass u don pass u.
