Treetop20:

is osisi a tribalist?

*Hauwa*:

i thot only ghana pple do it. when i go to party (the few ones i make up my mind to go to) and pple start speaking their language, i just carry my food and chair go siddon for outside.

**osisi:

are you missing the whole point of the thread?
are you guilty of what I'm talking about?

no i am not
you just seem so stuck on
anyway carry on

HeatFusion:

Osisi, you don start again, nawa for you ohhhhhh.


Are you saying it's proper when ANYONE do it, be it with the person that can understand the language?

It does not matter which language is being spoken, it's simply rude when you're talking to the phone with ssomeone and you break off talking to another person without saying, HOLD ON.

**osisi:

I'm sure you know exactly what I'm referring to.
I never mentioned phone conversation,did I?
Please read the original post again.
Please don't make this thread what it's not,I beg of you.

HeatFusion:

I apologize for not understanind your post.

But it is not only yoruba ppl that do it. If you're talking to someone and your friend comes along, what do you do? Ignore her?

Most yorubas do it.I use most here because i have come across a few of them that where not born and bred i yoruba land and they do not behave like that.The topic reminds me of an incident that happened in my nysc camp.

We where camped in room and we where about 20 in a room and from different ethnic groups.All of us will be discussing and in the middle of the conversations the yorubas peeps will talking to themselves in yoruba  .It continued for sometime until one 'waffi' guy rebuked them.The yoruba peeps retorted back that why should he rebuke them.

It was then that the guy told them he is also a yoruba boy but brought up in warri and told them that that attitude was not right.We the roomates where suprised that he was actually yoruba because of the way the guy was always hammering waffi pidgeon.  Funnily enough later that night one the yoruba guy went and met him privately and told him that he was not behaving like true yoruba guy but the 'waffi' guy told him off.

However the 'waffi' guy can speak yoruba quite well as i discovered later when i heard him talking to his fathe over the phone.

I could go on and on

Run into a Nigerian anywhere in the world,he is more likely to be an Igbo man

It's just jealousy.

They are mad,we were not annihilated as Awo dreamt.

Awolowo is dead and rotted and the Igbo man has waxed stronger and stronger.

I heard that those yoruba women sitting and selling in the market place also defecate in those containers they are sitting on and could be selling you things at the same time.

I heard that they are very dirty also.

I heard they borrow money to do all that owa mbe

that Yorubas are unreliable.

that they are all mouth and no action,remember Jegede Shokoya of masquerade

@babyosisi
think you're very troublesome and quarelsome. You're a tribalist. You can only try, nothing you fit do to YORUBA people you hear! Tribalist

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-55363.96.html#msg1210914

Do Yorubas discriminate against other Yorubas with large tribal marks on their faces?
Do those with tribal marks feel a sort of complex for having them ?
would you turn down a prospective mate or suitor because of tribal marks?
Honest answers please.

Hotstepper:

it is very rampant among Yorubas and i alwayz trace it to Ghanaians,

davidif:

WHEN I AM WITH MY ASIAN FRIENDS, THEY SPEAK THERE NATIVE LANGUAGE, THEY GO OUT OF THERE WAY TOO PLEASE PEOPLE AND GUESS WHAT?? IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME. THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIANS IS NOT ONLY THAT WE ARE PEOPLE PLEASERS BUT THAT WE ARE ASHAMED OF OUR NATIVE TONGUE.

This not only common to yoruba people only.

@ osisi, your tribe is the one most guilty of this. I have been with a lot of igbo people and they just go on speaking their language not minding that someone is among them who doesnt understand a word. They go as far as doing this even in the office. Its can be terrible.
So osisi before you remoce the speck in another's eye please remove the log in yours first. Thanks
