Because people treat you the way they see you…

Unfortunately, the truth is that they are having the upper hand at the moment… in charge of most things we need, we aren’t truly independent…
So we need to improve our image at the same time, fight for true independence

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.

This is how people conditioned to feel inferior to whites, reason.

You do NOT need the west or western approval for ANYTHING today .

This is a multipolar world. You have China, India, Brazil, Russia and other countries to work with.

You don't need to depend on the west for ANYTHING. Or impress them for anything.

SO BE YOURSELF.

What if MEN were the ones competing in beauty contests to attract women? 😳

Well, that's the fact in this mysterious Wodaabe tribe — a nomadic people famous for one of the strangest festivals on Earth.

During the Gerewol Festival, men cover their faces with colorful makeup, dance for hours under the scorching sun, roll their eyes, and flash huge smiles… all to impress women watching from the crowd.

But this is more than just a festival.

It’s a centuries-old tradition filled with beauty, culture, survival, and shocking rituals that most people have never seen before.

This short documentary takes you deep inside the hidden world of the Wodaabe people — their lifestyle, traditions, beauty standards, and the incredible ceremony that has fascinated the world for decades.

Watch till the end… you won’t believe this culture is real. šŸ‘€šŸ”„

All this balablu ranting from someone who is from the country with the highest number of extreme poverty paupers and out of school children huh
There are primitive people on the Indian sub continent, in the Americas in Australia and even the Roma in Europe were semi primitive or at least nomadic. Such exist literally all over the world and we also have such in Africa but the Yoruba have never been even a tribal people at any point in their history. They have always been a nation The Ijesa a Yoruba sub nation are a nation and not a tribe. Tribe is low organisation and maybe a maximum of 2000 people living together or less. They don't have cities, advanced skills, advanced societies and advanced organisation and leadership and that was never applicable to the Yoruba at any time and your stats of out of school children and etc don't apply to the Yoruba. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century US and Yoruba urbanisation levels were the same and where you find cities you find civilization. No group on Earth has been living in cities for longer than the Yoruba. This is our year 10068 and it is the most ancient calendar on Earth. As an Ijesa man, should I accept the wrong narrative that my ancestors were tribals? No I will not. They were a well organized and advanced nation with territory that encompassed cities, towns, villages, their markets, industry and farmland

lol….. someone said you women only see the true picture of what you do or say until you see men do same….

Last party i attended in December… masquerades everywhere !!! especially when the heat started melting the makeups …. Its was a horrible sight..
Women are naturally ugly, without make ups most of them don't look good. Men are better looking

When I said oyibo, I figuratively meant the rest of the world…

And it’s not about seeing their validation, but you can’t achieve anything alone… you still need the support of others, most especially for black Africans that are currently at the bottom of the bottom of the bottomless food chain.. highly dependent and cannot do anything

Wetin we wan call this one now?

Why must Joe Ajaero stage a nation-wide protest for kidnapping in Oyo?
When this government started in 2023 with it's policy somersault,Ajearo called for protest like once or twice.
But most of the people in the state you are asking him to protest for and majority of APC supporters abuse him and accuse him of being sponsored by Labour Party of Obi.
You guys went as far as turning it into inter-tribal warfare.Saying Igbo man is fighting against Yoruba government.
I was even shocked when I heard a popular media personality like .....wetin wetin I don't know the spelling of his long name,he works with TVC featuring in a program called JOURNALISTS HANG OUT ....opening his mouth to condemn the nation wide protest.
He even went as far as calling on the NSA to arrest Ajearo and charge him for treasonable felony.Eventually, government yielded to their pressures and arrested and seized Ajearo's Int'l passport in the airport.
That man his other cohort called NLC protest for a better Nigeria and good governance a tribal protest against his Boss.
And today,when the same state and people are attack, you have the effrontery to call on Ajearo to protest for them?
When he will be labeled a tribalist and a politically motivated labour leader, will you be there to defend him?

Oga I don’t want to argue with you , you know why everyone knows that Joe is a big thief like the former predecessor before him.

You re talking about an unserious labor leader that will go into coven with the APC chieftain at midnight and make an announcement at the same midnight before we all woke up to the news that the strike had been called off in 2023 or which Ajaero Joe are you talking about? šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø

Which ethnicity are you talking about Oga? You are talking about our corrupt union president or which ethnicity are you talking about?

Oga I no Dey argue with you . U know why I am a resident of a country where job owner or employers of labor will be criminalized if they go against labor laws or government activities can be short down without no legal action if the labor union demands are not met, as long as they operate under the confine of the state or federal laws.

Everyone know Ajaero is Oshiomole boy and he will do everything needful to please his master.
Let me shock you to know , the only active and effective union in Nigeria today is ASSU Quote me anywhere.

If he is so bad like that,why then is the guy I quoted beckon on him to call for protest over the kidnapping in Oyo state?

If Tinubu can buy off 31 state Governors, who be Ajero?

Nigerian men with unwavering integrity no reach 10 nationwide
God bless you my brother others are mentioning my comment as though I am not stating the fact. Besides, Tinubu there’s an Oshiomole too who use to be in the union and a president he was once Joe’s oga at the top and still is . So Nigeria is in a big mess.

If Joe Rallies the support of other union bodies and trade union of which I believe union of teachers belongs president Tinubu will do something.


You and I were in that country (Nigeria) when Oshiomole held the economy under Obasanjo for a month did Obasanjo not yield to his demand and were all the school activities not grounded?

Now you just express the frustration in you further more with ur latest comment. But remember I am not the cause of your failure in life, I am not the reason why you couldn’t travel to any where around the world . But hey! there’s still opportunity for you. Use the Libya route to Italy or if you can’t try the stowaway route by ship or airplane shocked
