I don't see why we can't have Heaven right here and still make the biblical Heaven when we're gone.

Chain is for dogs.
A picture perfect view is of my beautifully endowed self is on my profile. Check it out.

sukkot:
yorubas were never captured as slaves in large numbers. you igbo cowards were the ones who were mostly captured. thats why most slaves were igbos. do you see any hausa slaves ? only the weak tribes were enslaved. this why all the slaves in virginia were igbo. you are coawrds. however if bravery is by shouting then you igbos are the bravest lol. your bravery is only in your head. but everywhere else everyone looks at you as cowards

OneNaira6:


Ha. Yorubas out number the amount of slaves from bright of biafra and other tribes labeled bright of benin too. You people were the easiest to capture. Seriously, pick up a book. Read, READ

SirShymexx:


Lol. Okay, wear my beads then.

I can't see anything in that pic - the old one with the denim top and maxi dress showed what you're endowed with better than that one.

Erm, send it offline - wanna see it.

sukkot:
you guys say igbo slaves were more in USA. now its yoruba who were more ? make up your mind

SirShymexx:


Lol. These muthaphuckas are the real black pikeys.

Never knew a lot of them are in the Caribbean since the place is no different from Africa economically apart from the beautiful beaches.

But hey, at least they'll get to meet beautiful carib chics.

OneNaira6:


Maybe you should read my posts again and this time carefully. I've always maintained yorubas outnumber the igbo slaves because that was what was taught during my studies.

DollyParton1:

Welll... beads are for royals, according to Yoruba culture, I wear those already.

You said, send it offline, just like that? Dang!!! That voodoo man must have bragged about the potency of the voodoo. Sorry it dint work. Return it and take back your money.

quimicababes:


Lol I wouldn't know...perhaps you can ask them lol.Perhaps they prefer love up them beautiful carib chics

SirShymexx:

SirShymexx:


Lol. That was why I told you wear my beads as the Duke of Ijebuland.

I don't do voodoo - I put the satin in ya panties, so I think I earned it. Don't you think?

SirShymexx:


Lol. I don't know any Nigerian living in the Caribbean - but I've met loads of Trini chics. And I went to Uni with a few international students from Bahamas on some American scholarship - so I know what ya chics look like out there.

Wanna tell me the secret?

sukkot:
You guys need to make up your minds. first it was igbo slaves outnumber every slaves. then when i brought out how that was a sign of weakness, now you switch it to yoruba slaves outnumber everyone else lmaoooo. ok biafra loser

DollyParton1:

I wear my Osun & Egba beads. I don't need additional load from the self acclaimed Ijebu Duke.
And the satin in my panties came with it from the factory. So, no thank you

[s]Yorubas have ALWAYS been the highest recorded slaves in America, both south and north. That's been well taught hence I disagreed with Francis when he said otherwise.
You were never the least traded slave tribes..the hausa were
You were never the slave traders...the fulanis, ashanti, etc were
You were never the rebellious group..the akan, igbo, mandigo, wolof, Angola tribes were

Yoruba were nothing. The only thing you were known for is having a high number of slaves and your religion surviving due to the fact you people were the last slaves to arrive to South America and other tribes, including your people that was already there, readopted your religion. That's the only thing you were known for, nothing more, nothing less[/s]

SirShymexx:


Lol. Osun and Egba never had Kingdom - Ijebu beads are more legit. I'm Ijebu royalty, you better believe that - not a joke. Don't be surprised if I were to develop interest in the Kingship in future, and go to naij to claim the throne of my ancestors.

Nah, I put the unique satin in ya panties there, with my name engraved on it.

quimicababes:


Lmaooooo...u is kicks yes.I nah know the secret...ask them Carib chics in London .They will be able to give you first hand account...can't beat first hand sources .Bahamian folks are kool...lil too religious but nice

Errrmmm my parents made the kingdom happen.
About the text in bold, keep dreaming, the language is enough to disqualify you.

SirShymexx:


Lol. Dem gyaldem out here are crazy and strong-headed but I gatt love fi dem cah dem afi ride or die with yuh, ya get me? And they put it down. Once they're on it, they are supremely loyal as fvck.

Yes, I noticed Bahamian are super-religious but darn they have got crazy bodies though, and they're good looking. Their patois is also different. I should still have them on my facebook if I reactivated my account. Too bad a lot of them don't live in the UK.

Lol. Big bredrin.

I gatt that blue royal blood. Dem paigons/pagans don't know what time it's.

ShymmexLion:


Erm, I had to come back with my Carib rasta handle - my other handle is on hiatus in this section for now.

Lol. I've checked all kinds of Carib women - but mostly Jamaicans, a couple from Guyana and Bahamas (Uni), some French one from Martinique (Uni as well),and one Trini. And I checked the Dominca one down the road from me for a few months, but we're still cool though. So, I know how they get down.

Lmao @ Creole - mandem don't call it creole - we call it patois. Just different flavours. Errthang ah gwan inna ah inna ah, dun noe.

I have no problem with Obeah being derived from Igbo language just don't want it to be interpreted as Caribbean folks using it in terms of Igbo divination systems as I am aware they have their own religious system.

I suppose the High Commission market it more because people show more interest in it....there is a market basically.I do not think Igbo people I have met personally market their culture.Like my best friend ex-husband for years is an Igbo man from Onitsha, Anambra but in all the time I have known him...he barely spoke about his culture.Another one I met at university who is from Delta state he barely spoke about his culture even when interest was shown as I am the type of person who ask people about their culture even if they are from the Caribbean self.Same cannot be said for the Yorubas I have met who were generally eager to share their culture.

It is weird as I have met more Igbo Nigerians than Yoruba Nigerians and they are married to Trinidadian women so I don't understand why the culture is not promoted.The Nigerian High Commission really tries with promoting Yoruba culture.Presently Yoruba language is the only African language that is taught at the University of the West Indies which is where the Language Institute is under and I heard from the teacher they want to introduce it up to the diploma level.

Historically with regards to Trinidadians we have a stronger pull towards Yoruba culture as it is quite normal to meet an Adeola,Olatunji etc as there are many Orisha devotees so I get why the High Commission promotes it but at the same time there are a few half-igbo babies in Trinidad so I think they can work on it.

Yoruba culture marketability is also helped by private organisations as the Yoruba teacher reached out to Black conscious groups which gives further exposure.If Igbo can work on that I think eventually we will learn more about the culture.
