Sigh... This is the 3rd thread I have seen, created to incite inter-tribal online altercations.

Seun, you are really not doing your job.

...Or maybe you and your Mods are part of the problem! Cos, how do you even allow such grace the Front page?!!


Nairaland has become one of the major forces of disunity in this deteriorating country.

SMH!!!
Why so difficult for you to please quit it.

Liverpool Football Club has warmed the hearts of Nigerian fans especially the Yorubas after they hailed their teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha with the popular Yoruba phrase “AGBA BALLER” on their social media handle.

The term “Agba Baller” is a street slang in Yoruba which means “experienced baller” or “big baller”, often used to praise someone with extraordinary football skills beyond their age.

By using Yoruba language to celebrate Ngumoha’s talent, Liverpool has not only shown recognition of the youngster’s Nigerian roots but also strengthened their bond with millions of fans across Africa.

⚽🇳🇬 With moves like this, it’s clear that the Yorubas lead and the others follow

Create a thread for that na. Everything no be competition

Which Nigerian Language uses the world "Agba'?

Does Nigeria even have one Language? All those borrowed Warri and Edo words in our Pidgin, does it stop them from being originally Warri and Edo words?

Yorubas dey claim anything at all? Abeg, mention one thing/or person wey no be Yoruba wey dem claim

Till today, I havent seen Yorubas forcefully claim Kabba in Kogi the way you claim PHC as part of Ig-boland

Thats rich, coming from you cheesy
I have seen Yorubas claim illorin in Kwara state,north central Nigeria. Which is a known Fulani enclave and state.

Check the population of Kwara. Kwara is a Yoruba state even though it is in the North.
