But Nigerians stick in groups in SA, especially the most visual ones. When u catch a taxi at the busiest taxi rank in Johannesburg (Bree) u first have to walk past Nigerians asking you for "business". Much of Hillbrow, Yeoville, Berea, JHB CBD are crowds of Nigerian traders and undesirables. So they're unavoidable. That's why they're one of the most disliked migrants in the country.
if they do anything illegal

Of course there are a lot of fake news stories in Nigeria about gays molesting straight men - it's part of the demonisation strategy. Why don't we hear such stories in SA and the UK? Of course there's the issue of the Catholic church and everyone condemns that, but the demonisation in Nigeria is on steroids. And I've never heard of gay people molesting grown*ss men like u - those who molest children are paedophiles and not gay people (there's a huge difference).

On nudism, we're all adults and we know how to strike a balance. Nudists are given secluded public spaces like parks and beaches, and not let loose to walk naked past primary schools.

On incest, you're making outlandish comparisons once again (like the nudists teaching in creches) - that's why you're failing to stop the pro-gay movement gaining traction all over the world coz y'allz arguments are stupid. How does gay people in a consensual relationship compare with an incestuous relationship that's been proven to be harmful to their offspring (inbreeding)? BTW, European monarchies are famous for marrying cousins - the same with the Tswana people of SA and Botswana (they say the cattle - bride price - should not leave the kraal).

Your mocking comment about marrying rodents and stuff makes me wonder if u even went to school at all. How absurd. I thought u were smarter than than.

I don't see anything wrong with gay people adopting children. If straight couples can raise gay children it shows that people are born homosexual and so hetero kids will grow up the way they were born in gay homes.

And yes there are limits in life but as humans we also have the incredible ability to strike a balance.
hmm

First of all, who said gay men want to touch u - you're giving yourself too much credit. Maybe it's coz you're used to gropping women yourself without their consent.

Why are likening gay people to psychopaths and paedophiles - do u see how extreme that is? Why are u being so irrational? Gay people are honest members of society who function the same way as u in every aspect other than that they prefer to be in consensual same sex relationships. Psychopaths and paedophiles are destructive and need no consent for their actions. I thought you were smarter than that.

U say u have no problems with gays and yet say it's a "dangerous and twisted topic" and you'll punch them.given the chance. I think you're the one who's confused.
lol
it seems you've not heard of gay men molesting straight men

I'm likening them because that's the major reason that people give
they say things like "it is natural"
"it has been for ages"

about "destruction"
are nudists destructive?
why can't you make nudists creche teachers?
why can't they make incest marriage legal?

because there are some things that should not happen
and gay stuff was part
until "liberalism" "freedom"
just watch
you'll see the next generation asking and getting rights to marry insects and bears etc
you'll see people having a relationship with rodents

there are certain limits in life that make life what it is

imagine them still fighting for the rights to have homosexuality in children's school books and movies

yeah
I'll punch them if they molest me

I see you ran around the gays adopting children situation cheesy

But I understand, u don't even wanna give your own straight women equal rights. It's just who u are - the actual problem with this world.
gayism-_ or whatever it's called??
is a really dangerous and twisty topic
because if you say they are programmed by nature to "love" the same sex and should be allowed

you should also support those that are born psychopaths that have undisturbed desire to kill

you must also allow pedophiles

you must also allow nudists to walk around everywhere

the earth has been kept balanced by some unwritten but obvious rules
we are now destroying all that in the name of liberalism and so called freedom

see this is one of the many reasons I don't like the US being a world power

freedom itself is dangerous
useless freedom is worse off
me personally don't have a problem with them gays
except the ones that still want a right to adopt a child
is that not rubbish?

if a gay man approaches me and tries to touch me
I'll give him the punch of his destiny

The history was actually written by an Odiani (yes that's their real name) person.
can i get a source?

olùkùmi is what people know

https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/the-history-of-the-olukumi-people-in-nigeria

They are unique in every sense. Surrounded by predominantly Ibo-speaking tribes, they speak a variant of the Yoruba language, which surprising is yet to be subsumed by those of their dominant neighbours. How they came to inhabit their present abode has been a subject of varied folklores. One of these concludes that when the OLUKUMiS arrived at their present place of domicile in the Far North of present-day Delta State, the Edo (Ancient Benin) émigrés and Ibos from the East of the River Niger had been on ground for a minimum of three centuries. Unable to communicate with the hostile people all around them, they courtesied all and sundry who they came into contact with "OLUKUMi", a word in the Akoko dialect of Yoruba language which means "my friend".
Further evidence has emerged to dispute this variation of their history. There is documentary evidence to suggest that the OLUKUMiS occupied their present abode long before their Ibo speaking neighbours (including the Asabas) arrived the vicinity.
However, to this day, the variant of Yoruba language spoken by these people is called Olukumi by neighbouring communities!

Due to the small size of this unique community and the threat of its culture and heritage being submerged into that of its dominant neighbours,the need to preserve its culture through published material has arisen so as to ensure that accounts of knowledgeable indigenes are preserved before they all pass away. Prior to now, the history had been transferred through oral means from Elders to their children.
The writer, Chief G B Nkemnacho, has over the past forty years, put pen to paper and documented the history of his people (the OLUKUMIS) as told by earlier generations. As has been said severally, no one can tell a history better than the people who actually lived through it.

Whatever Yoruba presence in Odiani clan met indigenous Igbo tribes there who welcomed and subsequently assimilated them into Igbo culture and language since they were the overwhelming majority.

This is the history of many towns in Anioma area.
Aboriginal Igbo peace loving people who welcome Yoruba,Isoko, Bini, Igala people running away from trouble in their homeland and assimilating them into Igbo culture and language.

Rather than show gratitude to these Igbo people who accommodated them, descendants of these Igbos go about trying to de-Igbonize their host communities by fabricating ridiculous stories of SEners forcing Igbo language on them, while the aboriginal Igbo native families who constitute the majority in these places maintain painful silence which irks those of us in SE.

In case of Odiani (Olukumi) though, the aboriginal Igbo natives there are doing a good job keeping the non Igbo migrants contained.

Ariani:
History
There has always been igbos in ugbodu before the arrival of the warriors from Akure,sent by the then Oba of Benin wen he was in pursuit of the fleeing igbos from the Benin kingdom. Those warriors getting to ugbodu,settled....and called the igbos there "olukumi" meaning my friends because the people were peaceful and friendly and also ruled over them for some period of time before the the Edos took over and then the igbos took back kingship.The original tittle as used by the government for the king of of ugbodu is "OBI" ,you can confirm from just recently court case on the obiship stool. So ugbodu was an igbo town by inception hence the use of igbo language along side the yoruboid language(olukumi). You cant separate ugbodu from her igboness.

what I am saying is dat ndi igbo is part of the foundation of Ugbodu Kingdom and was never 100% yoruba origin and Anioma in general so when we are speaking of fore father's and birth right,that should be in mind too coz actually,the warriors were the ones who "came in" and settled ,meeting pre existing igbos . So one can decide to identify as onye igbo from Ugbodu in Anioma delta state and also those who feel they are Yorubas or olukumi can also identify as one.

The formulation and conscious deduction of this from history is more political,As those who know,know. Even the Obi stool but won't talk much on that for reasons. If you go to Ugbodu kingdom today and other Odinani (odiani) clans(Ukwunzu,Ugbodu,Ubulubu,ogodor,ugboba,idumuogo),you will observe and feel the igboness very much present.
