^^what's with your timing, lol.

The question now is; who is Original Yoruba and who is Yoruba-Benin

not sure why some are so fascinated with benin, but majority [if not all] of the yorubas with direct bini antecedents know themselves and their history isnt lost like some would think.

neither are they a majority like some also want to think?

i mean, for all those billions. . . . . . . . .

hopefully the dame will upgrade her fashion with time.

it sometimes happens like that.

how come she never wears iro and buba sef.

is it something personal?

logica:
@tpia,

I'm merely addressing your response. Doubting the story is beside the point. Matter of fact it will make him look even worse if there was no lover @ all; then the question would be "why was the ethnicity of the fictional lover Yoruba"?

each of them is trying to paint the other in the worst light possible.

namfav is educated, that's why most of you assume he's from a very rich family. Because he's an educated northerner.

yes, he's young and also very committed to his religion.

on seeing suffering- you cant live in the north and not be aware of suffering, imo. Saraah, alms, etc are specifically geared towards this.

^^we dont know for sure there was a "yoruba lover".

just saying.

doesnt mean there wasnt, or there was.

we just dont know yet.

all i can say is every tribe in nigeria strives to outdo each other in notoriety.

dayokanu:
Yoruba men don dey take their legendary YEKINI scatter homes?

more like legendary mouth since we all know na mouth una dey take hypnotize women.

logica:
it is widely known that some primitive minds (it includes some Yorubas as well) think it's a lesser taboo to marry other ethnicities than Yoruba (for the primitive Yoruba that would be Igbo). Even Caucasians are much better accepted than the Yoruba since any sexual contact with Yoruba constitutes sleeping with the enemy. I'm sure this should have occurred to you.

it's not that serious, though your caucasian comment is true for the most part.

the issue here is a married woman is involved.

i doubt it's that big a deal when its a single woman with a yoruba lover, since that's quite common.

besides, nigerian men always accuse their wives of adultery in cases like this. It remains to be seen what really happened.

easy on the bad belle.

revomind:
*sighs* @ d responses to my post so far, but then who am I? Just a lowly southern 'hustler'. People on here probably think Fulani babes excreta gold. Well, ignorance is bliss as they say. I'm not surprised namfav and co wouldn't believe me,it wasn't easy dealin with the curious looks from jealous malo boiz back then lol. As few and far in between as they may be, there are Southerners who have married Fulani folks. Its an anonymous forum so you can believe or choose not to if u want, whatever suits your delusions,
I think Southerners need to learn more about their country, There's a joke that some southerners know more about the UK than they know of the north. Otherwise, folks like namfav won't be yanning as if some of these 'glorious' fulani folks can't be found selling credit and siga on the streets of Abuja and Lagos sef. Babe was probably havin fun with moi knowin fully well it would come to nothing as some alhaji was probably waitin for her pretty a** to be done with skul. Can't an innocent Fulani babe have some good ol' fashioned fun anymore?

people from the north generally tend to stick with their own social strata, so all the opata you're yarning, makes little sense.

like i said, maybe the lady took you for a ride and wasnt exactly what you thought she was, or else she wasnt too connected to her family background.

of course, you could also continue patting yourself on the back as the great fulani girl lothario.

btw i think that story of the yoruba lover is too convenient and simplistic to be real.

it will only breed tribal sentiment.

i dont claim to be an expert on anything, but beating her up was surely not the only way of handling whatever conflict was going on?

too much emotion involved in this matter.

and why not go after the alleged lover instead.

sort it out like that.

lord have mercy.

this could be karma if he didnt actually kill the woman [who btw divorced her husband and got with him? ]

it's like the postman always rings twice.

I discovered that Mrs Wigwe had brought her male lover, a Nigerian of Yoruba tribe, to live with her and the children in the family house."

the plot gets thicker and thicker.

taboo # 1 male lover

taboo # 2 the lover was of yoruba extraction. Nuff said or else this place go explode.



if indeed this was what happened [ i wont form any opinion until more info is released], then no doubt the yoruba lover might have been a response to the man's frolicking around in an equally offensive manner.


however, i doubt the story for now.

also, they're both rather too old to be one upping each other like this, lord have mercy.

^^oh, ok.

didnt notice that.

even then, pretty far fetched imo.

something's off.

@ cheikh

your post wasnt directed at me, but the person in question specifically claimed the girl was pure fulani from katsina who was also a big shot's daughter.

abi na yaradua pikin im wan claim?

in his dreams perhaps.

he should first explain how he even got close enough to see her, abi was he the gateman at her house.

he didnt even say fulani from kwara, adamawa or lagos, he said katsina.

Pure fulani babe from katsina, father-big shot as usual, had a special liking for south-west bruvas especially. Shorty was on my **** till graduation. Beautiful babe I must say.

possibly chadian, ebira or thereabouts, since you might not know the difference.

So if for example, tomorrow an egbira/jukun man becomes president of nigeria and/or oil is found in ebira or jukun land, are we then going to have an egbira or jukun-centric history of nigeria.

I'm not aware of this state of affairs in any civilized country in general.

America doesnt do that, unless it involves africa.

.

And since when did nigerian men start showing affection for their wives in public @ pro01.

That's a diasporan thing, not a nigerian one.

I find gej worrying because he and his advisers seem to have a colonial, precolonial or pre-civil war mindset.

Not a current one per se.

^^it's also known as imole which most people translate as hard knowledge.

however, the brazilian interpretation seems to mean malian ie religion from mali.

this is rather puzzling since there's no known connection between nigeria/yorubaland and mali that i'm aware of [human trafficking aside]. Unless there's something i dont know.

as puzzling as the yoruba word for obesiance which is juba. Juba happens to be the name of a king in ancient mauritania.

by esin mali i assume you mean esin imale.

with all the fashion designers we have in nigeria, it's quite embarassing that gej and his wife dont believe in patronising them or listening to their input on what to wear.


these are fashion designers who have made names for themselves internationally and some of who have even dressed michelle obama.

o ga o.

had gej's advisers considered it important, i'm sure they could have found something with an african or nigerian theme for this ball of theirs.

^True that.

Oloun ku suru.

From my personal experience. I dont believe nigerians are louder than other africans.

The jumping singing and shouting i mentioned in my earlier post, is as of the time of writing, yet to be matched by any nigerian.

Jumping singing and shouting i can understand if its at a party or something.
But at a train station?
