The greatest love story in Nigeria is the short but memorable tenure of Yar'adua...


After him, everything went to shiiiiit💔

Nigeria: North and Southern protectorate

The Taj Mahal love story of India is very profound.

Nigeria : Sango and Oya


No be only Sango and Oya, na Sango and Amadioha. Ekwensu eromancia Mami iwota





Nigeria should be:


Odimegwu Ojukwu and Bianca Onu

Yaradua was overhyped joor, just like we are deceiving ourselves that fela was great

Sango and Oya.. Tinubu and Remi ni

Nigeria should be 2Baba and Anie

The Nigeria version is an illusion of Lagos Ibadan express way media creation

USA is Bonnie and Clyde

Please what is Sango and Oya? We don't have country tales in Nigeria. We have such in our different tribe. Don't come here to force your tribe's story and as a national story. No story is ever national apart from that of war fought by great Ojukwu against the Islamic cells of British caliphate.

Me self check am, ftom where to where!😂😂😂

Even me a Nigerian does not know the Nigeria love story as old as I am…We have been used to other people’s love story and our hardship

Romeo and Juliet beats all

Jack and Rose. - England (Titanic)


You forgot the most popular one.

Valentine and his whatever - Rome
Jesus - Humanity
Cinderella and her prince charming 😂

The world's story of love is Jesus

NIGERIA's best story of love is Inikpi.

I also laughed when I saw "Sango and Oya"...Ekwensu eromancia Mami iwota indeed . We de talk about people that lived and someone is talking about folklore characters. Why not the tortoise and the king's daughter? Agbadorians no go kill person .

Sango and Oya. Hehe yorubaland 😆

Sango and oya should be adapted into short storybook for kiddies of this generation to know the story and learn sone lessons. The end of the two was a serious tragic flaw.

BTW, I read some comments up there and laughed at some people's ignorance. Sango was once a king of old Oyo empire. He was historically the third Alaafin of Oyo.

India is Bobby (Bobby and Raja)
(See below)

Romeo and Juliet is BRITISH not Italy!

Buhari and Aisha oza room things lol

Yoruba people and local level tribalism smh

That's more like sacrifice not love.

Sacrifice herself for the good of others. It doesn't involve two persons

Akpabio and Natasha. Senate kerewa

There is no national love story in nigeria. What you posted is known only to your tribe. We don't even have an indigenous national language let alone national story.

Please OP be guided and stop misleading the public.

Aaaah, these two are criminal now....criminal lovers.......

Strictly for your tribe. Other tribes have their own stories. The story you speak of is alien to us both in language and in content.
