That Wale guy looks like Lil wayne Wale

Johnandv:
It seems your late mother did not teach you how to respect elders before she passed. Igbos that became everything you think you are before you.. President, military head, senate President.. Etc all before you. Igbos that went to war with all tribes in Nigeria including you for 3 solid years is now your little siblings.. Wonders shall never end on this Nairaland. You can never be greater than Igbos no matter how hard you try to launder your image on social media, we own you..

The rants of a PIG! No wonder you're Yoruba slaves! Yoruba 4 Life!

GBOKASINCHA:
Nonsense how Angelique kidjo take be Yoruba same thing as saying burnaboy is yoruba see Afonja attachee by force

Search for Angélique interview with Ásà in which she mentioned it herself that her father is from Yoruba Benin and her mother is YORUBA Nigeria but both live in Benin. She said she once stay with her mother parents in Ogbomoso or Ibadan if i can recollect before relocate back to Benin. And she speak fluent Yoruba.

GBOKASINCHA:
whats Angelique kidjo Yoruba name?? Where has she ever claimed she is a Yoruba woman...show me proof where she claimed yoruba...

This is proof


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGbtBFNjOo

I wish I saw the update earlier, useless people within motherland, outside the like to be outstanding hausa igbo and yoruba plus Edo are the major tribes that destroyed nigeria others queue up behind them in vices.

Cherez:
Funny how you bring this
Some Deltans of Onicha-Ugbo, etc are Igbos by paternal lineage and not by marriage.
Kidjo isn't Yoruba even if she speaks it fluently.
Nothwidstanding, this is a cool thread

Are you telling me you know person more than herself. This is her interview.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGbtBFNjOo

Cherez:
Some of NLers are so unintelligent
So, how did your Wiki page allege even that Kidjo is Yoruba? When did maternal rship give an identity?
I really don't wanna engage you in the name calling as you might be frustrated and I'm not part of that.
When and where did Anioma say they are outrightly not Igbo?
Esan is not and can't be Igbo, so what are you saying?
A child let on the loose

Argue with this


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGbtBFNjOo

Cherez:
Lol
You just have limited knowledge that's the truth.
The Awori, Ijebus, Ife, Okun, "Modakeke", etc all amke up the Yoruba nation
My advice to you; Please don't derail this beautiful thread which is supposed to praise industrious Yoruba sons.
Albeit, I should just ignore you so as not to derail this beautiful place

You forget, Ẹ̀gbá, ijesha, ilesha, Owo, Offa, anago (Ketu, Ajase, Benin)

Johnandv:
Egyptians are Middle Eastern not sub Saharan Africans.

lol which middle east it's like you no do geography, if you talk sub saharan africa i no go agrue next time do so, so as not to mislead people here, some get their facts from here

Chris2863:
Bunch of unpopular actors and actresses... Afonjas, una sorry. You guys didn't write hushpuppi..hahahah

Tell which of your tribes actors or actress record that bit this 3 Yoruba Actors combine (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, David Oyelowo, John Boyega). All your actor and actress combines in history have not achieved quarter of what each of them have achieved in History of Black and Africa as a whole. Me chuo nu (Keep quiet there)

Trutharenas:
Igbo and crime are inseparable. Even their ancestors are thieves and criminals. If you think I’m lying see the below list of each tribes in Nigeria prison during the 1950s.

The Igbo prisoner alone is more than all the major Nigeria tribe combined.

Johnandv can you see your ancestors are criminals?

This is gold, we all know they have criminal blood running in their veins but I do not know it is this bad, imagine!!! this is in the 50's o, and there numbers is even more than all other tribes combined together, bunch of flat added criminals I wondered what the current statistics would look like?...... The federal Government should build prisons exclusive to Igbo's alone, they really have the numbers to make sure such projects become a reality.

Sorry boss please check well chamillionaire Na hausa guy not Yoruba

agadez007:
nwannem,
I wish I can like this post twice,I don't know why "Igbo Amaka" pains their Oblong amala head,it is just as if Igbo Amaka is an insult

It's a open secret that the average Yoruba man's day is not complete without looking for a Igbo man to hate

we all saw how they hijacked the Most influential Igbo thread and started mentioning how Otedola is richer than all of those Igbos mentioned

Don't derail the thread, it hasn't gotten to that level (don't get Otedola into this). I mean it's not yet time to list southwesterners that would purchase the whole Igbo land

iyapont:
