shortgun:The Oil and Gas is in southern Nigeria not the East. We are no longer in the 1960's when they merged Yoruba with Edo and Delta. No Yoruba will accept that in this 21st Century.. Get your facts right. |

chiagozien:Yet na them get lower purchasing power compared to Igbos. They'll enter market and get different price range for a particular item and go for the cheapest one, later they'll be shouting fake up and down. It's hard to boycott purchasing in naija without involving the Igbo |

chiagozien:I'm not surprised of this, Bokku is owned by obasa who is the current speaker of lagos state house of assembly. When I lived in the streets of Lagos, I applied for job there as a graduate I am but my application wasn't considered because am igbo! Ask any lagosian, their Bokku bread would make you purge after eating it, forget the weight rubbish! Too much preservatives in that bread. Boycott Bokku ! |

Racoon:You lied about this. Only your tribe has that unbridled hatred towards other ethnic groups and that has been the factor of your unity. After scrutinizing the land of the rising sun, I came to a vivid conclusion that you people don't really like yourselves |

I hope Yorubas will continue hating Igbos after Tiinubu leaves that office sha because the hatred wasn't like this when Buhari was in Aso Rock |

chiagozien:Both the lady, the producer, director, and person that signed off on this must be either very tribalistic or very tone deaf to air such an advert. Now from trying to market thier brand, they ended up de-marketing it. |

Let the igbo do business with honesty too. You people are too dubious. |

Dear ndigbo, we need to be prepared for what is to come. They have done this before. Gradually stirring up hate against ndigbo so they can eliminate us and people won't care. We must be ready |

Those shouting boycott Bokku Mart are economically disadvantaged people. 4 years ago, they were boycotting Gtbank over Innoson's indebtedness. That year, Gtbank made humongous profits. Bokku should get ready. Any person or entity these people oppose usually succeeds. |

MrGerald:In my office where I work. We have a lot of them as our customers. The way they will price you is very frustrating. And sometimes you will get angry. Something of 500 najra , they will price it at 200 or sometimes 100 naira. Very annoying people. If you refuse to sell it at 500 naira and then proceed to sell them the item of 200 naira. They will buy it ,them badmouth it and call it fake. That how they behave. Not all of them but most of them. They want everything cheap. If they couldn't get it . They will buy the least price of the item and say omo ibo is selling fake products. Very annoying set of people. Am talking of experience. |

Thank God the lady with good home training and core family values have tendered an unreserved public apology , let the vindictive , small-minded mob nation run down Bokku if they can . Egotistical beings with entitlement that can't take what they dish out at every opportunity . Has the unfortunate corper that declared Lagos as smelling apologised ? Did her fellow ill-trained clansmen and women not defend her on-line as well as accuse the government of Lagos state and true Lagosians who condemned her utterance as having political and ethnic motives in lambasting the uncouth Ekuke. Did these vile beings not rally behind the witch that vowed to poison all Yorubas and edos in her base in Canada ? Who do you guys think you can gaslight? There are dishonest traders all over the world's open markets be it Yoruba or Efik , and they even know how they keep trade secrets among themselves , the influencer was very wrong to have uttered such and Bokku is mostly to blame to have let such advert see the light of day and they will face the heat, and with that said , Trader, stop rebranding inferior products as the advanced model. Trader, Stop selling fake product , Trader , stop importing illicit as well as expired drugs , Trader, stop selling Nigerian used as Tokunbo, ole , Trader, stop altering the original measurement or quality of product from the original source , Trader, stop applying harmful chemical or preservatives to product to elongate shelf life especially consumable products , Trader , stop reneging on warranties you gave about defective goods , Trader, stop deceiving and misinforming customers into buying one product , thinking they are buying another . No one should take a Samsung phone home to turn it on only to see a techno sign and welcome tone flash before them Trader, stop always trying to cheat customers at every opportunity that arises for money to change hands . Everyone is free to add theirs . |

There's no difference between these people and Hamas. They are indoctrinated from birth to hate a particular tribe. Meanwhile we accuse the whites of racism but tribalism is worse. I weep for Africans. |

The influencer has apologized. Lets move on. Bokku is owned by an Igbo family. |
