BanyXchi: First off, I responded to a question about language. The Yoruba were late arrivals in the new world - specific parts of the new world - as anyone who has taken the time to apprise himself with the history of that period should know. Now to your own poser, the enslavement of the different groups took on many different forms and hence produced a myriad of outcomes. What I am telling you is fact beyond contention. If you are still at a loss at this point, I would suggest that you take a look at colonialism on the African continent and its attendant consequences. While the British allowed a very small number of Africans to be educated, for instance, the Belgians did not. King Leopold has his own scorched earth policy, which was more brutal and far more inhumane than what obtained anywhere else. Go on, look up the number of graduates the Congo had when it attained independence. Even more, ask yourself why each one of the Portuguese colonies had to wage an armed struggle - and you would understand the conditions which underpinned colonialism, much like slavery, differed from one place to the other. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

1Sharon: Nigerian kids wear uniforms, period, however, they wear their uniforms for posters is irrelevant, it's a TV show and a made-for-TV drama. It's even funny how you have so much to say and condemn over a TV show that you haven't watched and won't watch. Until you've taken out time to watch the show, you are in no position to render any ill-informed judgment. Hollywood wannabees is your own opinion, even going by your Hollywood wannabees comment, if that's the case, nearly all our movies and shows are Hollywood wannabees. Makes no sense. 1 Like |

Africa and afrobeats is reigning, from many languages…just not Oduduwa, biafra, Arewa tongues, but coupe decale, South Africa, etc. Did you not hear the coupe songs they played when France won against England in Qfinals…. |

Fortruth: Ermmmmm, hei hei. Afrobeats is Nigerian, abeg o. I did not even finish reading your comment to the end... Other African countries may be copying it, and forming their own variations, but Afrobeat > Nigeria. Amapiano > SA. Dance hall > Jamaica. The same way other African countries have theirs. Since Fela is the father of Afrobeats, then I can stretch that to say it is Yoruba in origin (even though it is a mix of different foreign sounds initially sha). 5 Likes 3 Shares |

plaindealer: Phuck your “Point”. Yoruba language, like most African languages are becoming the face of music in NIGERIA. Influence from other languages, “Chioma…Biko….Haba…etc” are interchangeable in “Yoruba” non traditional music. Also SOuth African vibes, coupe decale vibes, even Ghana vibes are all making Afrobeats popular everywhere….. so no, its not just one language. Go and sleep |

Fujiyama: Go and watch the Netflix documentary 'bigger than Africa.' That was the movie to opened my eyes about the strength of the culture of Yoruba people. Basically, the documentar showed that when the Yoruba slaves arrived,they were able to organize the slaves the met in the America around the Yoruba traditions. I will advice you watch the documentary. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

And my answer is STIILL AFROBEATS is what is reigning, whether it be at World Cup Qatar, whether in Accra, whether it be Ibadan, Lagos, PH…and African languages, including Yoruba, are all a part of it.

Talawaka:My brother, giving Yoruba people their laurels does not mean hatred towards any other tribe. If I notice something good about a tribe, just because I say it does not equate hatred for another tribe. It does not mean I don't value my own tribe either. The problem we have in Nigeria is that we prefer lies to honesty. Honesty will not kill me or kill you. Lets just be honest, Yoruba culture is the strongest in Africa. Does it me I don't value my own tribe? No. I am just looking at the facts and drawing reasonable conclusions. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

plaindealer:He only changed his stance when he was heavily called out. That makes him a sneaky person cos I saw his post where he claimed some are trying to control lagos economically (we all know the tribe that is notorious for this statement). He also said some are laying claims to it historically. That old and useless bini story igbos propagate. They never asked themselves why bini uses "obaship" title. Oba of Bini is a descendant of the Yoruba. Even their elite class like obaseki family etc belongs to us. How does oba of bini owns lagos? Which history? If it he does, is Oba himself not from the yoruba lineage forced on the igodomigodo people by the yorubas? 6 Likes 2 Shares |

BanyXchi:First, that person u quoted misinterpreted my comment. And then he called me sub human. Imagine that kind of insult to a fellow man. Yet we blame the whites for exuding far less of such kind character. It's not fair, sir. Second, I believe the liberal nature of the Yoruba is moderate and major leeway to their being more progressive in Nigeria. I was born and bred in the West, boss. Extremism, most of the time, breeds terrorism. And laxity breeds degeneration or loss of value. I believe the Yoruba society is balance except what u are saying is that laxity has set in. I may creat a thread on that later to avoid derailing this thread. 1 Like |

Justmesagi:Myself I am a liberal yoruba. But you went sneaky on us. That we are liberal doesn't mean we are stupid not to know when someone is trying to massage our ego to rob us. Why will you say some tribes are laying claims to lagos? Who are the tribes? Who are the ones trying to control it economically? Mention them. And your usage of the phrase "yoruba dominated" sold you off in the first instance. And it took a lot of calling you out before you admitted to it. Pls next time don't try to play such games. 1 Like 1 Share |

TakeNigeriaBack: At no point did I suggest your comments conveyed hatred. If anything, I simply pointed out why it is wrong to impugn other ethnic groups are somehow inferior to the Yoruba. Moving on, let me ask you this: when did it become characteristic of the Yoruba to indulge in needless chest-thumping? Or how else does one view your claim that "Yoruba culture is the strongest in Africa"? Is that part of the Omoluabi ethos? Or is this a new refrain that helps the lily-livered achieve some kind of natural high? |

Magnoliaa:He also insulted people like me "liberal yoruba". But you don't see me crying about that. You hold freedom of association, at least among the yorubas cos we are diverse. But that doesn't give you the right to insult other yorubas for making their own choices like you do. |
