Lol They keep mentioning the same people ![]() Of course. 1 Ibo trader = 10 Yoruba businesses ![]() |
basilo101:You must be talking about Ibos who do nothing but give noisy ultimatums |
hundredhundred:Don't mind them. One illiterate keeps posting nonsense by Nkem Oluloyo as if she rep the Yoruba nation. Lagos just took down several dirty trading shops, but still dem go say Yorubas are stopping them. |
ShootToKill:*sigh* one needs patience when dealing with illiterate iPods. Please answer my previous questions. How are Yorubas holding you back? |
He's Ibo |
ShootToKill:You must also tell me how Yorubas want you to stay in Nigeria and how they're stopping you from leaving now. Let me be honest with you, Yorubas don't want your kind. Nkem Ololuyo doesn't rep the Yoruba race. Blame your people who would rather do businesses with Yorubas and stay in Yorubaland. I can't recall a moment Yorubas held a gun to your headband told you not to move your trading shops to the East. Even after blatantly abusing you in Akure, burning down shops in Ladipo, you still don't want to leave Yorubaland. If Ibos like yourself wants to move back to the East, Yorubas won't stop you. |
SuperS1Panther:O se. You won't see the likes of Ben Murray asking Nigerians to support these Yoruba businesses. He'll be talking about made in aba shiiit. Non-Yorubas hate and envy Yorubas too much. Ben Murray mentions innoson, he doesn't mention ProForce Inc. Hr mentions Aba made, he doesn't mention Yorubas Dressme Outlet. Yoruba ronu. The hatred is real. |
I see 9xtr9x or whatever he calls himself gathering hid copy and paste. ![]() |
Udmaster:If he can buy Osun, then he can buy the SE. Osun state has more project and infrastructure commissioned in the past 2 years than the whole SE has commissioned in 5years. I see that y'all are still expecting Buhari to fix the roads GEJ didn't bother to fix. GEJ till 4019 to 8019 Awon ode. |
I'll stop now and let our petty trading Ibo brothers catch up. |
