Even when he called their mothers prostitutes n called them bastards they still hail him

Even when he calls them pigs n idiots they still hail him.

An ipob miscreants once said he doesnt believe in Jesus again cos he wasn't born then that Nnamdi Kanu is his own Jesus n Messiah. check everything on FB or follow oyigboupdate n u will understand them better.

They call Boko haram members different names but they don't know they are suffering from the same brainwashing

There is something wrong with the brain of an average Yorubaa person. They just don't reason well even when they are educated. I'm honest with this. If you listen to Doyin Okpe and what he ranted, you ask yourself, how can this big man, allegedly educated and served in such high capacity under Jonathan say such a thing? Tells you how an average Yorubaa man reasons. Even the interview Dele Momodu had with Kanu, some questions he was asking Kanu were so stupid and senseless that I knew Kanu was just being proper.

Even listen to the responses of the Yorubaas replying here. Even rejoicing at the military alledegly killing ESN, same ESN fighting the bandits killing and pillaging Yorubaland. I just don't understand Yorubas at all...are they okay mentally?Even after coming here to insult and malign Kanu, these same people will go to Igboho page that has done absolutely nothing but media fanfare and praise him. Are these these people okay in the head at all? Bikonu?

PoliticsRe: Lagos Was,is And Will Always Be Yoruba Land. by theTranslator(op): 11:57pm On Mar 23, 2021
Coconuthead126:
Lagos historically was first occupied by the Bini people who established their military outposts in some parts of Lagos where they traded with the early European arrivals to the ports who happened to be Portuguese, they actually coined the name "Lagos". The etymology Eko has no meaning in Yoruba language (I dare any Yoruba to tell me the meaning of Eko in Yoruba translation). Some parts of Lagos are owned by the Awori's( the real indigenes of Eko who are not yoruba by the way)... Yaribas just like every other Nigerians in Lagos today were among the early migrants to Lagos... They have the British to thank for handing Lagos over to them since they somehow outnumbered the other tribes that migrated to Lagos... so historically aside from the Awori's who are the true aboriginals of Eko, and to some extent the Bini who were the first migrants to establish trading routes in Lagos with the Portuguese traders... no tribe actually has a legitimate claim to Lagos... for now Yaribas control the power structure but that won't last for long because they are fast losing their influence in the socioeconomic aspects of control in the affairs of Lagos as Igbos are taking over almost everything (real estate, markets, businesses, civil service, landed properties etc). I see a major power shift happening in less than 10 years when an Igbo man will DEFINITELY emerge as governor of Lagos state, and the Bini people are now fully aware that they have as much rights to the true ownership of Lagos as the Yoruba MIGRANTS... truly Lagos is no man's land.
Lol confused individual
I dare you and the entire Igbo to tell me the meaning of “igbo”

It means Indian hemp in Yoruba grin wink

PoliticsAbeokuta: Amazing facts You Didn't Know by theTranslator(op):
Abeokuta was a sovereign nation for 20 years and 11 months before the British amalgamated her with the rest of Nigeria. She had her own laws, Police Force, Civil Service and was well organized. The Alake was the head of the defunct government known as the Egba United Government from (1 February 1893- 1 January 1914). The amalgamation with the rest of Nigeria did not go down well with the Egba people and this resulted in the Adubi War (1918).
https://swifttalk.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/olumo-rock-abeokuta.jpg

Abeokuta was founded in 1830, with Sodeke as her leader. The initial name of Abeokuta was “Oko Adagba” meaning “Adagba’s farmstead”-Adagba was an Itoko farmer. Sodeke who led the Egbas met him there. Abeokuta means ‘under a rock’, signifying the protection which the Olumo Rock offered the Egbas during attacks. Since the discovery of Olumo Rock, no one has fallen from it. Not even once.
