The Yoruba's tribe passion for acquisition of knowledge through formal education is our hallmark which also serves as the outstanding feature which distinguishes us among other ethnic groups. We understand the values of education and this has helped in building and maintaining our tradition of intellectualism that has been in existence over centuries.


However, if a corporate brand like Airtel Nigeria is looking for a tribe to patronise in a condescending way amongst the ethnic groups we have in Nigeria, the least tribe to be considered for the ingenuous act is Yoruba tribe considering our level of exposure. As a matter of fact, no tribe should be represented as such, because there are educated people in our ethnic groups.

I watched in dismay the new advert of Airtel Nigeria featuring some nollywood actors. Ngozi Iwosu represented the igbo tribe, while Idowu Philips popularly known as Iya Rainbow, represented the yoruba tribe.

The advert clearly depicts the rivalry between the two tribes. The battle for who would overshadow the other between the two Mother In-laws; Amaka's Mum (representing the Igbo tribe ) and Mama Rainbow (representing the Yoruba tribe) started during the christening of the new born baby.

The advert centers on the young couple; Amaka and Segun(Segun's role was played by Abdullateef Adedimeji )who recently got married and had their first child. At the christening ceremony, Amaka's mum took the child to take a picture with her.

“Selfie time" she shouted. The crowd gathered around her to be captured.
Mama Rainbow also Brought out her tablet almost immediately, not wanting to be left out of the fanfare.

“Selufie time,” she squealed.

Now back to my drift,Ngozi Iwosu was made to play the character of a sophisticated and educated igbo woman while Iya Rainbow on the other hand is the unlettered Yoruba woman that can't pronounce (selfie time) rather she said 'Selufie time' .Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to cause any controversy as regards the advert. All I just need is a clarification from Airtel Nigeria, the intent of the advert or should i just assume they are just trying to portray the Yoruba tribe as the uneducated tribe?

I went to the market that day to get the stuff i'd be taking to school. I had gotten almost everything I needed,save for
palm oil,vegetable oil and onions. I proceeded to the mallam selling the onions. He told me the price,it was a fair
price,so I paid him and told him to package it. Then I saw him. Tall,dark skinned and averagely 'Okay' he had also come
for shopping. He greeted me,and I replied him casually concentrating my focus on the Hausa dude to make sure he
packed everything.

'You're so beautiful' he said to me smiling. I looked up at him surprised,because I thought he had left.

'Oh thanks' I replied him curtly shifting my gaze to the Hausa guy. 'Mallam Shey you no go add fisi for me? I be your
regular customer oooo' I told the Hausa guy, teasing him.

'Walahi aunty I don help you add' he replied me. I smiled at him,collecting the nylon from him and I thanked him.

I remembered I still needed to get palm oil and vegetable oil,so I proceeded to the woman's shop I usually buy from. It
was then that I noticed that guy had been following me. I was pissed,so I looked up at him coldly.

'I hope all is well? What do you want from me? Why are you following me all around?' I asked him.

'Oh,i'm sorry. Can I please get your mobile number? I promise not to be a nuisance please'. He said to me.

I ignored him thinking he was going to get the clue to leave me alone. I didn't want to be rude to him. But he persisted.
So I finally budged and gave him my mobile number.

'Thank you so much,I won't be a pest'. He said,smiling sheepishly. I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking I had gotten rid of
him. But to my dismay,the guy was still following me. I lost my cool and turned to him angrily.

'What else do you want? I really don't find this funny,why are you following me?' I asked him.

'Oh,I just want to see you board the bus in my presence,and also help you with these loads,nothing serious' he said
smiling.

He must have felt like my knight in shinning armour,displaying his chivalry. But I wasn't having any of
it,because I was already irritated at that point. So I told him I wasn't going home yet,that I still needed to get something
at the garage that I was just going to drop the loads with my customer. So I did just that,and I crossed to the other side
to board a bus.

The guy followed me. I ignored him and boarded the bus. Then he did something very irritating. He brought out his
wallet and offered me money to use to pay for my transport fare. I lost my cool and shouted at him,asking him if I had
asked for his money. I felt so disrespected and also angry that I had given him my number.
He was surprised,and apologised quickly leaving that spot. Apparently,that wasn't his first time. Some passengers
laughed while I told the driver to move.

He kept calling me daily,asking for a date. But I turned all his requests down because I didn't want to see him. I got
tired of him telling me about his job,how he was going to take care of me and make me look more beautiful,and how he
couldn't wait to make me his wife.I stopped picking his calls thinking he was going to get tired.
I had returned to school when he contacted me next. I ignored his calls and didn't reply his messages because I was
just so tired of his 'I want to make you my wife'. Then the following day,he sent me airtime which I sent back to him
immediately.

'Why are you so arrogant?' I said to him when I called him. 'Did I ask you for airtime? 'please just respect yourself and
don't try this next time okay?' I said to him and ended the call. That didn't deter him from calling and I kept on ignoring
his calls.

What I'm trying to say in essence is,most guys love impressing ladies. So don't go around complaining when a lady you
just started dating keeps demanding heavily from you. Trust me,it's the way you've painted yourself from the beginning
that made her a demanding girlfriend. I know how irritating the sense of entitlement is. Some ladies could have made
that guy up there their 'maga' but I told him point blank that I wasn't interested. I hated the fact that he kept bragging.
That guy is just one example from so many other guys out there.

I don't understand. Can such be considered help? Rob Peter to pay Paul and call it doing good and Paul agrees even though he knows where it's coming from. Smh.

There's something off about that guy. I won't be surprised if he swindles these people of their little money because of their greed. I know so many people are suffering out there,but I'm surprised no one deem it fit to tell him to refund the money. Someone even prayed for him,that God will bless him. Smh. How exactly is that supposed to work out?

Vision2045:
Na wa o.... So this how deep corruption and poverty has eaten deep into our mindset as a nation.

The guy explained the source of the money and non of you advise, he return the money, not even in this era of BVN.

Let him help from his pocket and not such kind of money...

@OP, If you are seeing this kindly inform your Ex company and revert the money, they will eventually trace you during Auditing and you will very much payback.

Exactly my sentiment. I wonder why they all kept quiet. Hmmmmmm. People are really suffering. I'm so sad right now.

This is how these young men slap now o. Maybe it is all the drugs in circulation, they seem to be more aggressive. I have always been wary of them, but currently...I am tilting towards paranoia. I relate with them very carefully

It's just so disturbing. I wonder why they see women as an object they can treat anyhow.

Gidilagoon:



No be my fault bro.. the thing Dey do me strong thing ni and I so much love her.. the best thing for me is to avoid her, she’s not the type I can stay mad at for long if am seen her around. E Dey happen baba. Man Dey fall mugu for one girl in his lifetime.

You're not a real man for slapping her! Gosh i'm so angry. What right did you have for doing that? Is she your child? If you know you can't tolerate a cheating partner,always let them go instead of acting like a tout. You're such a control freak. Imagine,getting her a new line because your insecure self couldn't stand the other guys she must have dated in the past. One question,didn't you date other girls in the past too? Why didn't she also change your line? One thing I want you to know is,no man owns a woman get it? Even when you're married. She's your partner,your equal half not a commodity you control like you bought.

Ps: i'm not in anyway justifying your lady's actions. That was a shameful thing to do. I do not in anyway support immorality irrespective of the gender ok? But next time,if you know you can't forgive your cheating partner,always walk away. You have absolutely no right to hit anyone.

I'm so angry. What gave him the effrontery to slap her? If you know you can't deal with a cheating partner,you should always walk away.

Last month, the news broke out that a popular Nollywood actor refused to have anything at all to do with his third child
because she was different in terms of her complexion from the other kids he had. The beautiful baby's crime was the
fact that she was born as an Albino. This is something this precious jewel couldn't have avoided. He told his wife to get
another father for the child because he was cock sure that the baby girl didn't come out from his loin. For several
months, he abandoned both his wife and three children abroad, completely leaving the wife to fend for the kids all by
herself while he was still alive. His grouse with his wife was the fact that she birthed an Albino, and in his words, no
one in his family was an Albino. So where did she get that from? He asked.

He requested for a DNA test, which was promptly carried out, and the test result showed that the popular actor was 99.9
percent the father of the child. Even after the test, he refused to accept that result and he told his wife to come over to
Nigeria for another DNA test because he was so sure the result was manipulated. It is interesting to note that, during the
birth of his previous kids, he didn't request for a DNA test. But because this beautiful Albino baby girl was different from
his other kids because of her complexion, he refused to take full responsibility as her father, accusing his wife of being
wayward. Really? One would have thought that with the actor's level of exposure, this sort of thing should have never
resulted into a bout of war between his wife and him. But, he disappointed us all with his minute baked knowledge
about certain medical conditions.

I was so angry when I heard the news. It made me sad for a while because a father actually refused his own daughter
because she was an Albino. For God's sake, this little angel didn't create herself, so why make her feel bad about her
existence. And then, it occurred to me that, the popular actor had acted that way because of his ignorance. He is not
the only person guilty of this ignorance, there are so many Africans out there who have this twisted misconceptions
about Albinos. Some see them as cursed beings that were punished for the crimes they committed in their past lives,
others see them as a good luck charm which will be very effective for money ritual, while some even see them as
outcasts.

Few days ago, I went to get something at a grocery store. While I was there, I couldn't help but to listen to the
conversation of a young guy and a lady seated at the store. The guy in his words told the beautiful lady seated beside
him not to even think of getting married to a light skinned guy, because she was going to give birth to Albinos. The girl
was terrified, and in the usual Nigerian religious spirit, she rebuked the proclamation immediately; binding and casting
every spirit of Albinism. It was really hilarious to watch, because the lady in question was also light skinned, and the
well meaning dark skinned guy had automatically assumed that if two light skinned people should get married, their
offsprings would be Albinos.

I was irritated by their display of ignorance because getting information about certain issues these days was not a big
deal. It's just one click away. So why exactly do people wallow in ignorance and feed other people with this
misconceptions? I butted in quickly and told the guy point blank that he was wrong. I explained to him that it could
happen to anyone provided the parents have albinism gene. I also asked him if he had never seen two dark skinned
couple giving birth to Albino. He replied in affirmative. So I asked him what his explanation for that was, and he went
quiet. It is pertinent to understand the fact that, albinism is no respecter of anyone,anyone can have it irrespective of his
or her race.It can only be managed but can never be cured.

So, what exactly is Albinism?

According to Wikipaedia, Albinism is a condition some people and animals are born with. This condition is caused by a
lack of pigment (melanin) in their hair , eyes , and skin. A person or animal with albinism is called an albino.People
with albinism can have white or light blonde hair. They can have very pale skin. Their eyes are blue, or rarely pink-ish.
People with albinism can have problems such as bad vision and getting sunburnt easily. This is because people with
albinism have less pigments in their eyes, skin and hair. Albinism is a hereditary condition. It is usually inherited in a
recessive pattern; it means, both parents have to give the albinism gene to a child to cause albinism.Parents pass on
pairs of genes to their children. One of the pairs of genes is in charge of making melanin. If both of these genes are
flawed, then little or no pigment is made. If only one gene if flawed then pigment can still be made.

If just one parent has the gene and the other parent has a normal pigment gene, their children won't have
oculocutaneous albinism. But each child will have a one in two chance of being a "carrier" of an albinism gene. If a
child who carries the gene grows up to have a baby with someone who also does, there's a one in four chance that
their baby may have albinism. Since most people who carry an albinism gene don't show any signs of the condition, a
baby with albinism can be born to parents whose colouring is typical for people of their ethnic group. The most common
form of ocular albinism affects only males who have inherited an albinism gene from their mothers. Some females can
have a milder form of the condition if they have inherited this gene.(kidshealth)

People born with albinism are human beings just like us. They should never be treated unfairly because of their
condition. They rarely have any serious issues related to their condition, expect for their visions and they getting
sunburnt because of their lack of melanin. These can be managed, so they are just perfectly normal like everyone. They
are not cursed beings, they are not good luck charms for effective money ritual, they do not possess any supernatural
element, all these are myths and superstitions that have been passed around for so long. We are all equal before our
maker, and no one, absolutely one one should be treated badly because of their pigmentation.

I have never used deodorant. Shave your armpit regularly, wash your cloths with nice detergent and maintain a good hygiene your good to go.

Ewww! I bet you have sweaty armpits. Please get a Nivea today.

At the viewing centre yesterday,there was tension in air. Everyone was urging the players to do better,different comments were flying all around. But one particular comment caught my attention. The dude seated behind me uttered the one that made everyone laughed.

'Super Eagles abeg make una no spoil my life tonight ooooo' he said gesticulating with both hands. 'Chai God help us,I wan sleep well tonight' he continued. I was curious to know why he was hell bent on the Eagles winning,because I knew he wasn't that patriotic. So I turned back and questioned him.

'Guy no lie oooo,you don bet say Super Eagles go win tonight abi?' I asked him smiling mischievously.

'Yes na,na the 5k wey dem send me from house to buy foodstuff na hin I take go bet,if dem no win tonight,I don enter gbege be that' he said to me with apprehension written all over him. Just at that moment,Moses was given a free pass but he fell after one of the Croatian players collided with him.

The guy behind me lost his cool.
'Why this idiot no cover the ball and hin legs with the blood of Jesus?this guy wan make me lose 5k tonight' he said,standing up on his feet. We all laughed and then I replied him.

'Guy na your village people dey follow you,why you go go place 5k untop Super Eagles you well so?abeg make we hear word oooo no dey disturb God with your prayers.' I retorted. Everyone roared with laughter,the cute guy beside gave me an high five.

'Why you sef go bet naa?you con use your feeding money bet. Your village people don finally get you ooo' I yabbed the guy with my sharp mouth smiling.

'Babe,forget that thing betting na normal thing,make we just dey pray say Super Eagles go equalise abeg' He retorted.

'No be me and you go pray that kind prayer' I replied him and focused my attention on the screen.

Twenty minutes to end the match,the cute guy sitting beside me lost his cool and started blowing big big words.

Few minutes to end the match,people started leaving,complaining bitterly about the formation. One said 'Na that stupid coach cause this rubbish ooo,my 2k don go be that oooo'

Different comments were flying all around. I waited till the very end before leaving the viewing center. The cute guy left without saying goodbye,the match must have upset him,cause he acted really pissed. Lol.

My questions are: Why do guys bet?(not all though)Why was Moses behaving like he was under the influence of Rohypnol last night? What happened to those babalawos who always tie people's destiny? Why didn't they tie the legs of the Croatian players? So Eagles actually went there to slay or what?

I do have suicidal thoughts sometimes

Don't know what it means

But sometimes, whenever I think about taking my life, my thoughts go to my dad, how he would feel. The pains he would go through, when I'm gone.
He doesn't even know that I have chronic asthma, and sleep apnea.
I hide this things from him.
I'm an introvert, I don't associate.
Lots of things are weighing me down.
Who am I Kidding, no one here gives a fuc.k

I give a Bleep dear because I know exactly how you feel. Just send me a pm if you need someone to talk to.

It annoys me when I see my friends waiting till weekend for their girl friends to go the market to buy things and cook for them. Even as old as my dad is, he still buys foodstuffs while coming back sometimes and he still cooks for the family.

Exactly! My dad doesn't even see cooking as a big deal too. He buys the foodstuff sometimes too. I don't know why most guys see this as an abomination these days. What's the big deal in it anyway?

Ellabae:
A man is the head of ur home. U can't expect ur man to wash dishes for u. He might want to help u anytime but should not a problem if he doesn't. How should he tell his friends that his wife compel him to wash dishes. It's not cool.

Omg, you still have this kind of mentality in this 21st century? Babe there's absolutely nothing wrong in a guy doing domestic chores. It is not gender specific at all.

Zi:
True, very true!
Problem is that some boys are raised or should I say they raised themselves thinking a woman is being raised to serve them!

Most annoyingly, regular guys with a basic livelihood. If you are rich, fine! You can employ domestic help around the house. But if you are surviving on a regular paycheck, abeg bend down and work. Learn to wash, learn to cook basic meals, learn to care etc.

I just dumped my boyfriend because of this reason.
He doesn't help out around the house no matter how much you "encourage" him.
A glutton that doesn't consider if others have eaten or not, everything must go down!
Also foul-mouthed, "Baby why do you like wasting money" because I bought two sieves and two kitchen sponges

I told him straight up, "if we give birth to one or two kids, it will be two adults to taking care of those kids, not one adult taking care of two kids and an overgrown baby". Lol

This is the 21st century, women nowadays also work 8-5pm. You must learn basic life skills - chikena.

See you in Shiloh crew oya come for my head

Thank goodness you left him. You would have aged faster. Some guys can be so insensitive ehn! Smh.

Darkseid:
I'm a guy and I love doing house chores because I'm neat to a fault, I enjoy going to the market, I cook my own food because I hate restaurants, so I don,t see any biggie there.

Yeah, it's not a biggie at all. Your mother raised you well. What I can't stand is that sense of entitlement most guys have. I mean for God's sake, heaven won't fall if you do the house chores with your woman.

Ellabae:
this is so hilarious. But that's too much for me to ask of a man. Respect should be given to a man nd he would know when to help.

But why is it too much to ask of a guy? Is a man a demi god? I don't understand, please make me understand better. You both will be consuming the meal, not so?

From your write up, I can detect madness running in your generation.

Look at this hungry chicken head dump skull, trying to deny her stupid wayward life and existence. You want to talk about integrity, no way, you should be talking about your stupidity and a possible way to break free from it.

Like i volunteered previously, and i don't think I would change my mind. I would gladly jam you with my car so that i can help you get out of this miserable world you're into by mistake, because i realized that God actually wanted to create you as a goat, but the way you escaped is the 8th wonders of the world. Therefore, I will help you out, so that the true intention of God would be manifested in your life, so that when you come into the world as a goat, i will buy you from the market, kill you, roast you, and eat you gladly.

Olodo feminist. Try and get a life, and if you can't, get a knife and use it wisely.

Hey big old fool! Why not channel this time and energy into reading something valuable? Your vocabulary is so gutter and poor!!!

I'm glad to be an ignoramus with brain, rather than a plain blank idiot like you without a brain.

Feminist this, feminist that with 40naira account balance with the hope of consuming another mans money, and fill you useless maggot filled stomach with food and other eatables, hopefully to expand that pot belle you call a stomach.

See, you better go and stand on the main road and wait for a car to kill you, but in case you're not successful, alert me, i will gladly jam you and put you out of your miserable bitter life.

Don't worry, i will gladly run along, with the hope of running closer to be girlfriend and give her a sweet fvck, while you're there masturbating with that useless smelly and rotten cucumber.

Take care, in case you want more, i have them all loaded for that miserable fellow like you.

Not all girls are hungry scum. Trust me,I am well taken care of. And no,not with a man's money okay? Some girls still have Integrity. You should change your clique of hungry girls hanging around you. You need to undergo a mental evaluation because a sane person can't utter that rubbish you just spewed.

Educate yourself and stop basking in your ignorance seeking cheap validation from men.

iamJ:
see how u skipped the most important one

Better sit down cause it’s about to be bloody here


Let’s begin

That ure a feminist doesn’t mean that when a man hurts you, you dump him, no rule like that, no matter how strong a woman is, her heart is stronger, leave Beyoncé and Hilary, it’s a good thing that they have forgiving hearts and who are u self to call them out? What are ur accomplishments compared to them?

A woman of 36, divorced, black married a British prince, only a feminist can break such barriers and guess what? She is a Feminist, all those ode women that can’t stand for themselves and position themselves behind men will never accomplish that

This is a well informed fellow. You've got a good head.

MissCokie:


Stop quoting me babe, if your intention is to spill out hate . just leave your comments peacefully, i will read it.

Why shouldn't I quote you? You keep assaulting us with your level of ignorance and you expect me to keep quiet? You need to read more and know that true feminists are not men haters.

MissCokie:


A feminist believes that, she has the right to slap a man, beat him up and be boastful about it. Where did we go wrong?.

A man is a MAN, Not a wo-MAN . feminism is just a scheme to delude and perpetrate a dangerous way of living for the female society.

Stop displaying your ignorance babe! There's a big difference between a feminist and a misandrist okay?
