BeeBeeOoh:


I shock o

But, it's a good thing she remembered her root

It's not very surprising. Most of the Yoruba in Francophone countries actually migrated from Nigeria.

What impressed me is that her ancestors came all the way back across the Atlantic to find their roots.

It is not in anyway surprising that Angelique Kidjo chooses to identify with her Yoruba folks. You can't be a Yoruba and won't be so proud of your Yoruba-ness. It is natural;just like how the Jews are always so proud of being Jewish. From a native Yoruba roadside "Acara" (Akara) seller in Bahia,Brazil to the great hunters of Gambia and Sierra Leone,and the numerous "Oxun" (Osun) worshippers in Cuba,they are all very proud of their Yoruba ancestry. All of them will tell you that Ile Ife in Osun State,Nigeria is their ancestral home. Yoruba are special breeds of Africans;culturally very deep and highly spiritual people. We are just naturally so proud of who we are. An Ewe (Yoruba) person from Accra in Ghana,or similar persons from Porto Novo or Ajase in Benin will proudly say same thing Angelique Kidjo just said. So,to those who hate us because of being who we are and that we are so proud of our Yoruba- ness,we don't have any apology to tender !! You can continue to hate on because we won't change ! A ju yin lo,a ki s'egbe yin,egbe baba baba yin l'aase !

Otedola and Adenuga are from Ogun State. Ogun State indigenes are just super blessed likewise Oyo too ( I still consider Osun as Oyo since they've the same culture and almost same ascent )

Otedola is from Epe, lagos state.

Ttalk:

Lol. I was looking out for this. She was sha told about Iseyin but did you notice her core area of discussion was Africa. Learn a thing or two from that. These people don't even reckon with Nigeria, they reckon with the continent. Check her story, her great great great great great grand grand grand father....

And then from the mother's mother's mother's etc side...

Story for the gods of oodua land.

I used to wonder how she could sing in Yoruba but then I thought it was because there are Yoruba tribes in Benin republic but now I know better

Burna isn't yoruba, get your facts right

He has Yoruba blood in his veins. You can check his family background,his mother's name is Bosede and that's a popular Yoruba name. Besides, Burna boy proudly sings in Yoruba a lot. Drop the beef,Yoruba are truly blessed and great people !

“From my mother’s mother’s side, we have always been from Nigeria, so we have families in Abeokuta. Ibadan, Lagos, everywhere, I have cousins I haven’t seen a million years that I miss a lot.”

I had never seen anyone saying "he or she is from Katsina, kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, Zamfara etc ." Are those region cursed or what?

Which Adenuga

Maybe he means wale adenuga

Guy, we know we are blessed but the bolded isn't necessary abeg.

Our arrogance as a country isn't helping matters too.

Watch how Nigerians will support Ghana if they do well in Qatar

jrusky:


Are you upset or what for her telling the truth? Did she said she was not enjoying her life? Be proud she is a Nigerian we have millions like her around the world doing great who many never know they are Nigerians.

Nigeria is the best that is why one small village claimed country in West Africa always want to die because of Nigeria matter and one bastard country from the South of Africa always seen Nigerians as their enemy simply they know they have nothing good to offer Africa and the world at large than hate for fellow black above all thunder fire apc for destroying Nigeria pride.

Don't be in pain ok it's too early. Drop sentiment, who God has bless no amount of hate can subdue him or her or them. fact!!!
