The list would have been at least 7

If Austin Okocha and Mikel Obi were given their due right

But it's well


Okocha deserved it more than Mikel.

At least they mentioned you now, and that gave you enough masturbation for this hour, waiting for next post for you to masturbate on agbado republic, before Tinubu finishes his first term ,all your semen that you need to replace yourself would have wasted on mentions and likes of faceless forum.


See what your fellow embittered republic said before Osinmeh crowned Africa king

Does Kwara no longer being exclusively Yoruba then mean that Rashidi is not Yoruba? It's like saying Asaba people are not Ibo because Delta State is not an Ibo state

Stop this nonsense. Stop turning every post into tribal war

Rashidi Yekini was the first Nigerian ever to get the award. He is Yoruba. He remains the highest goal scorer of Naija till date. A record he holds even in death.

So, stop displaying generational inherited stupidity.

Every First Good Achievement belongs to those you called Agbadorians. Go and ask your uncultured demonic money worshiping parents in your villages.

First CAF Award - Rashidi Yekini

The First University in Nigeria. University of Ibadan.

The first Television in the whole of Africa WBC / WNTV Ibadan

The First WOMAN to Drive a car- Fumilayo Ransom Kuti

The first Stadium- Liberty Stadium Ibadan

The Tallest Building in West Africa till the 80s CACAO HOUSE Ibadan

The First Nigerian to Win Grammy Award - Sade Adu Yoruba.
Many other Yorubas have won it since then and only one or two Igbo made it.

Just to mention but a few

When it comes to Achievement and development you guys are still thousands of years behind the Yorubas. The reason you are trooping to the West like going to Europe and America.

Japa was started by you guys grin

From potopoto region to developed Cities like Lagos and Ibadan etc. grin

Did you people inherit stupidity or what?

Are you saying Yorubas from Benin Republic are not Yorubas. Do you realize there are lots of Yoruba towns in Kwara State?
Ilorin is the only Town being ruled by an Emir. Other Yoruba towns in Kwara State have Yoruba Kings.

Try and be smart in your arguments and jab throwing.

When an Igbo person archive something they start taunting Yorubas and when Yoruba achieve something they start taunting Igbos as well. All this nonsense only exist in naira land forum. You the owner of this site try hard to stop this nonsense because govt. Might prosecute you for allowing people promote tribal hate
How will he stop when all he thinks about is traffic. If I have the power I will shut down NL . This is the most tribalistic forum on earth, even the owner and moderators are tribalistic, incompetent and bias. Very pathetic set of people.
