Shut up your mouth there .

She already apologised na.

In fact, I withdrew her apology, go and do your worse

I have a neighbour whose 4 year old son usually call me "brother", sometimes I will even play ball with him, or teach him how to ride Bicycle. Later, I observed he became withdrawn. His name is Iremide. So, we all call him, Ire.

One day, I noticed that immediately I parked my car and was stepping down, the young champ was running towards me, and the mother screamed his name to come back to her. I actually thought it was because she didn't want him to run into an oncoming car. When she realized I was puzzled, she quickly told him to go inside and eat his food. When he mentioned he was not hungry, then she told him to shaa go inside and do his assignment. As a sharp guy, I took my cue from that, but needed to find out why.

Another day, he was outside when I was just returning from my Saturdays early morning workouts, and I jokingly asked him if he will like us to play ball, his response shocked me.

"No, I will not play with you. My Mummy says you are an Omo-Ibo". In that instance, the mother came out and heard him say it. She didn't know what to say. I just shook my head. I mean I know I could lecture her on the dangers of teaching children ethnic profiling, but how many Yorubas will I go around to teach that? Beyond all the fake smiles from Yoruba friends and neighbours, I have come to know that the hatred and resentment will probably last forever, and I have come to make peace with that Fact.

Everybody will be OK las las.

a Yoruba woman is the DG of NAFDAC. Tell her to step up her game

She is doing that already! Fake stores closed down in Onitsha.

I don't know when we have deteriorated to this level as a nation that simple banters we used to laugh to are now see as national issues. I remember when we used to yab ourselves with the tribe you come from and everyone will just laugh at you even your family members if you can't do a comeback but now everything is taken as tribal war. May God help us as a nation.

Let those that want to be used by politicians continue to be used. I didn't even know about this Bokku issue until I came online because offline, they are still running their business without interruption. I will continue to patronise Bokku for groceries, Ndubuisi for my foodstuff and palmoil, and the nameless Yoruba woman selling vegetables in my neighbourhood for my tomatoes and pepper. Sanni is my go to abokina for small groceries and cucumber.

Nobody can use my head for anything. If I stop patronizing a seller, I will stop based on the quality of their services and not their ethnic group. Social media has become a tool of divisive rhetoric and I choose not be influenced.

Prejudice is learned because by default all human beings see no race or ethnicity.

So was the lady talking about weed? You're not smart trying to twist the narratives

i dont know why anyone tryin to twist a " simple word as " omo igbo" growing up i have said it to most of my friends even girlfriend then

when i visit ladipo to buy parts, sometimes i call my customer, omo igbo howfar

It comes from a place of humor mostly not just hate,
if i call you omo jesus will you take offence so why take offence for " omo igbo" when truly you are igbo

Nigeria exists for the looting of Oil and Gas in Eastern Nigeria.

Oil and Gas are in the south south zone, not in the south east. We’ll continue to emphatically correct LIES and MISINFORMATION. The South East is the poorest area of Nigeria despite all the shoulder carrying posture. Rich people don’t leave their homeland in large numbers to seek refuge elsewhere.

There are enough yoruba to buy the bread, even here in ogun state we do buy and eat bokku bread.

Bokku Soyinka mart ..Mart for Tribalists

Na only una dey shout ‘tribalist’ up and down in this country! Yet we have up to 250 tribes in this cut and paste country. Stay at home and build your God given land ….
It doesn’t bother me at all any more. I notice if you don’t get your way ba to dey allege tribalism or calling people tribalists! We don’t care anymore.

Racoon:
The only thing that unite them is the unbridled hatred for the land of the rising sun.

Rising sun? Abi rejected land……comfortable living as IDP everywhere. Sooner or later the SW will wake up fully because you are taking too much of our space. It won’t be nice.

LegendHero:
lol? How will Ibo boycott a Yoruba store in Yorubaland and achieve success?

Will they force the Yoruba and stop them from patronizing Bokku store?

You poor Ibos dey always overhype yourself. You don boycott GTB successfully like you claimed?

Which Yoruba store...there is nothing Yoruba about Bokku,Jandor, Market Square, Spar etc .... Trust me !

Yoruba aren't players in the retail cabin give it to Igbo and south Africans and Indians ... The only retail market Yoruba can claim is only justrite

Everything in Yoruba land is OWNED by us, ultimately. One day you’ll understand.

How I wish they thought their children like ibos were thought to hate others, you would not have been able to litter Yorubaland.

MrGerald:
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

Self deception dey inside your blood. Ok take that purchasing power to the SE! Na beg we dey beg una sef and your SE needs it 😒

clearcrystal:
No problem,we will be happy if they could boycott Lagos too so they will be far from anything associated with BOKKU.

We will be delighted

AWON ASIERE

Na only you never hear say Lagos is no man's land? Una go wail tire.

Storyofmylife:
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 !

Always crying and complaining.

Uchesis:
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

Your presence and numbers will inevitably bring open confrontation. It’s better you direct your energies towards developing Alaigbo.

TheGift:
Both the lady, the producer, director, and person that signed off on this must be eitjer very triballustic very tone deaf to air such an advert.

Now from trying to market thier brand, theye ended up demarketing it.

Who told you they de marketed Bokku? The numbers will be going up astronomically. The SW is waking up, and perhaps you’ve overstayed your welcome.

You mean you are richer than the chinese and the Indians?

See self delusion.

ibedun:
Self deceit dey una blood Mr IDP. Who is the ultimate landlord and land owner? Carry your economic power to your zone but you will play deaf. SW is waking up sir.

You want to know who the ULTIMATE landlord/land owner is? It's God!

43Ronin:
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

Ready for what? You’re not landless naw 🤷🏾‍♀️

Are you waiting for the UN, AU, EU, WHO etc to tell you to go home?

Stop wishing.



You were taught from kids.

But can never change anything to Igbos apart from hating.




Yoruba land is one Nigeria your awolowo fought for after all Igbos Left,so your crying is just starting.


You will continue seeing Igbos all over Yoruba land,as we go back this Christmas we are coming back with hundreds.


You can only cry 😭😭😭😭

Who is God? Abeg vacate my territory…..! You’re taking too much of our spaces and our people are waking up and beginning to get angry.
