Fujiyama: Then table your facts. So far, you've not done any because "the burden isn't on you." Oshey, agba dribbler. The outsider who wept louder than the bereaved. It doesn't tell me anything. Yawns. You too, if you don't see that other people pick up points from people's convos online and continue it, then I must question your common sense. ![]() Grown man? Kept quiet for obvious reasons? Pray tell, ki lon kan aye? ![]() You don't have a horse or dog in this race. Are you acting out some perverse white dame fantasy here? What exactly are you trying to prove? If you care, you should take some time to go through my posts' history. ![]() ![]() I never have any dog or cat or rat or lion in 50% of matters I get into online. Shey you can see the guys too insulting me up there? 90% of them are Tinubu's supporters, and I am Obidient. Sad that we share the same tribe. No it has not been about popular culture. It is about popular culture. You are the one, rather, who probably choose to get intentions wrong for whatever... I never in my wildest dreams would have believed I would get into a protracted 2am online debate about ashebis, owambes, owambe goals, owambe plans and other frivolities but as the preacher once said: "the wicked man's work is never done". Frivolities? You're very laughable. I tell you these are what are projecting the Yoruba culture in the country and you're...? Mtcheeewwwwwww. Instead of taking the lesson and moving on, you mulishly double down and claim some dubious 'generic use' of a dated, offensive term. 'Tribe' is offensive? When? Where? How? Who made it offensive? And I promise you, I am not taking your words for it this time. If you don't do anything else, please, just link facts or authoritative opinions to this claim. I am actually very curious to know...since when did the word "tribe" fall out of fashion? The 'generalised claims' and 'exaggerations' you mention are just euphemisms for outright falsehood. False claims were made and of course, they did not go unchallenged. Go back and read my initial post again!! Shouting unchallenged, yet hiding your bombom and ****** tail behind in fear when I pushed you to bring your own evidence just makes you look like a clown. Everything I say that you cannot disprove, you say, 'seen' and keep it moving. For every single examples and illustrations I've provided. There was a time SS musicians like Timaya dominated the air waves. There was a time Ajegunle-bred stars were reigning. Now we have somewhat middle-class Yoruba artists on our screens. It is only the comedy industry, though, that I can see a little bit of equal representation of all tribes. Others...even on TikTok, gan, and I say this as a faithful user, there is a trenches category of content creators that are coming up and guess what? You know ![]() I have never seen an 'Igbo TikTok' or an Igbo side of it (and before your **** brain will run along with something else, I am not saying there aren't Igbo users on TikTok). Google justfaheedah and enlighten yourself. You can go round in circles all day long. I said what I said. ![]() ![]() And you are not going around in a ring? LMAO. The poster you're ready to take a bullet for made the laughable claim (on this very thread) that Yoruba is the dominant culture in South America. That's the sort of delusion you want to get yourself killed over? Now, don't be daft. Don't be daft. Don't be daft, Fuji boy. I am not killing myself over anything. Because I am going toe-to-toe with you, as you were doing with others, it has now become too much? Please, don't whine me. ![]() Two things here- provide a counter proof that shows us that Yoruba culture is not 'a' dominant culture in SA. By the way, did he use 'a dominant culture' or 'the dominant culture?' I can't recall. You said words matter o. And secondly, if plain was wrong AT ALL, are you such a blind bat to see that I admitted to him exaggerating? When have I ever said he was 100% right about his claims? You're the one who seem to making a mountain out of a molehill here. Rubbish, and stupeedity. Do have a good evening, ma'am. Keep your pleasantries, jor. 2 Likes |

Fejoku:In rivers state as a whole, I am not sure but in Ph, you don't have our numbers. Yoruba families migrated there during the oil boom in large numbers. They have made the place their home but understood they are mere visitors and respect their host. An attitude igbo lacks. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Is Yoruba Language Becoming The Face Of "Nigerian Culture"? by BanyXchi: 5:21pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
Magnoliaa:tribe is kinda derogatory sis... It's a word used by European colonizers for people they considered backward and tribal. One interesting thing is how all Europeans that came to the yoruba country never called us a tribe and even referred to Yorubaland as Yoruba country. Yoruba people are a large ethnic nation with tribes like Ijebu, Egba, Oyo, Awori, Ekiti, Ijesha, Ilaje and so on.... We're big enough to have our own nation. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

BanyXchi: Oh. I was not aware of this... Okayyy. Wait. Holdup. Thanks for the info for the correction and info. first of all. I will male changes to my use of it henceforth. Now, aren't there contexts in which it is okay to use tribe? Or it's totally offensive. Because I know the normal terms like mulatto, half-breed, and the rest are certainly offensive. Never seen much of an issue or general disagreement about the word 'tribe.' And I've seen people also used tribe to refer to their group of friends whom they share interests. Even Airtel has an ad based on that concept. 'I'm hanging out with My Tribe for the weekend.' Stuff like that. Now, you said Yoruba is an ethnic group consisting of different tribes. See you used the word as well. So, while I agree with Yoruba not be a tribe, but an ethnicity rather, it's okay if I refer to those factions of Yoruba as tribe? I don't want to think it is offensive in that context. Outside of allll of these too, I hope the word "ethnicity" is not considered offensive as well... |
Re: Is Yoruba Language Becoming The Face Of "Nigerian Culture"? by BanyXchi: 5:40pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
Magnoliaa:Yes it depends on how it's used. Notice you never hear about French tribe, English tribe, Italian and German tribe and so on.... A large ethnic nation like yoruba can not just be referred to as a tribe. It's derogatory... Remember that Yorubas are not just in Nigeria but also Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana. We are indigenous in those countries too.. pls check the Yorubaland map on google, you should not forget that the reason we're spread across several countries today is because of the Berlin Conference where Europeans created all these African countries... If Nigeria was not created we would have probably had our own nation as a ethnicity with tribes like Egba, Oyo and so on... 1 Like |

yorubarere:No one in his right frame of mind will make the comments you make hence I question your sanity. No one cares whether Ikwerres are Igbos or not. Let me ask you another question that might arouse your cognitive sanity. Between Igbos and Yorubas, who own more properties and businesses in PH? Even in Benin City, there are more Igbos than Yorubas no to talk of PH which is part of Igboland despite the controversy surrounding the city. 1 Like |
