What's the meaning of "Igbo lady", she's a Nigerian. Op, don't be stupid you people should stop this bigotry. Igbo is a just an ethnic group under Nigeria so is Yoruba and every other ethnic groups. It's becoming stale and boring and I think I might soon leave Naira land. You can't just view a thread without seeing these stupid lots arguing and shaming their forefathers . This same set of stupid bigots will cry foul if called a monkey outside the shores of this continent. Nairaland shouldn't a battle ground for ethnic supremacy, I wonder what seun and his cohorts is doing about it. Infact, you people deserve Buhari since you people are not going to have sense and come together to challenge our greedy leaders. 15 Likes |
