You must be jokers. The football club, Kwara United are also tagged 'Afonja Warriors'. Over and above that, it is like calling an Igbo man 'Ojukwu', if it is not your name, you ignore #LOL. Seun, you just have all kinds of craze on this your platform. 5 Likes |

The action is saying is irrelevant. The motive is material. Okoro is an IGBO name but some call it as a show of bigotry . |

That is what they think. It does not affect us. Even many people bear Afonja as name. But you call OSU and see how the mods ban you. Ask any of the igbo here if he or she is proud of being OSU  3 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol.. Thou afonjas is a recognised Yoruba name. But when people call Yoruba afonja. They are simply saying "sellouts" or traitors. Due to the story of that YORUBA man ""afonja" who sold part of Yoruba tribe to hausas 1 Like |

The Op just spoke my mind up there, Afonja name to Yoruba look and sound like warrior, aside the fact it's some people surname lot of people choose it as their nickname, just like one trying to mock me by calling me oluyole, is that one a mock or play. #still one nigeria though nd one love. 2 Likes

tossie101:Abobaku is a title here that anyone who wishes goes for. It is not for a whole tribe, family. The abobakus are proud of it. The afonjas are proud of it that they bear the name. But, but, Can you say the same about OSUs, a whole race being OSU. The question here is, are you proud of your OSU dynasty 3 Likes 1 Share
