After all said and done the current best hiphop album in Grammy belongs to an Igbo descendant Tyler Okonma. I've gone through the comments and seen the target of the thread which is to compare Yoruba with Igbo which I always find interesting and encouraging because we've never taken up arms against each other but compete in positivity. I've always believed a country comprising only Igbo and Yoruba will be the best even without oil.


Story..

No igbo man dead or alive has ever won a Grammy award... And no Igbo will

In case you actually meant to quote me, I have been posting about Babatunde Olatunji and Sikiru Adepoju. Both of them were born and grew up in Nigeria, so how can you say that they are foreigners??

Both of them sing/sang in the Yoruba Language, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??

Both of them play Yoruba drums like Gangan, etc, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??

Both of them were involved in promoting Yoruba culture around the world, so how can you say that they are not Yoruba??

This is Akiwowo by Babatunde Olatunji featuring Carlos Santana. How can you tell me that the person that sang this is not Yoruba??

You can never be greater than Igbos no matter how hard you try to launder your image on social media, we own you..

Is it the Igbos that we know or another one from Mars?
Yoruba taught Igbos how to read and write through Ajayi Crowther.
Moreover, Igbos were still learning how to wear clothes in 1921.
