So it must be a Musician that calls others an offensive word, before it matters, baa?

Tomorrow when an Nnyamirin Artist draws an Afonja with 'Cone-head' or an Aboki with 'Maluu-head', wont you say it doesnot matter because the offender is not a Musician?

jeffmatt4u:

"Leaf Eaters" lol. I am proudly Igbo, but leaf eaters funny me die. hahahaaha 1st time hearing that

Excuzeme:


Naah, l dont dislike Igbos, far from it.
One cant dislike one's self naah. Stop this Victim mentality and insulting everybody here.
It is those Afonja l dislike because of their cone-head

Some call Igbos, Yiibo, Ipod, Ipad, Okoro, Nnyamirin,
Some call Yorubas, afonja, Cone-head, Ofe, draw soup, , scratch-face, etc
Some call Northerners, boko, killer Herdsmen, Malla, bororo, cow, etc

But its all fun and nothing to be taken seriously.
Just laugh over it and move on.

lichocho:
big lie..no be nairaland e end bros...Igbo don de call Yoruba people OfeNmanu since Nd de call Hausa ndi ugwu..so no tell me shit

MENELIIK:



Your brain is super, Afonja was rather betrayed but you know our Osu brothers, they love changing the narratives to put the great Yorubas in negative perspectives

5%, 10%, or 100% what's your business. Why is it affecting you?

Racism to me is more of an attitude or expression than a statement or use of specific words. Sm1 May call u by ur name and never mention niggah, monkey and still be racist to u then Sm1 who calls u niggah.

A Blackman has no right to call his fellow Blackman nigger when a white man shudnt knowing the history of the name unless he’s stupid and disrespectful to himself. Or unless it’s generally permissible under certain circumstances by anyone.

oyatz:



Where do you see Yorubas calling Igbos 'Aje okuta ma mumi'?

The name is too long and I have never seen a Yorubaman calling anyone that name.

Yorubas call Igbos 'YI.BO' or simply omo-Ibo.

Ladycewhy:
And I guess you live under a rock not to know this happens every day. Even here in Nigeria we call ourselves derogatory names. I heard someone call another person ugly monkey, now imagine if a white man had done same, heaven will start shaking.


If racism is a statement or attitude can you please tell us what tribalism is then?

Gerrout, wrong spelling!
the correct spelling is NYAN'MIRIN.

DamnnNiggarr:
Aboki means "my friend"

What does Inyamuri means??

Tajbol4splend:




Afonja should not sound offensive to any Yoruba because it was the name of a Yoruba lineage warrior and king

jaxxy:


I think u got me wrong there... Tribalism and racism are exactly same thing. Discrimination be it racial or tribal.

Arrewa:
Hypocrites!!

But they're free to call A northerner onye ugwu, call a Yoruba man afonjaa or ndi Ofe mmanu!

People that are filled with hatred and bitterness!!

That's how they once attacked Teni for calling Erica omo igbo.

These people can't take 5% of what they're dishing out to other tribes on daily basis.

ggood:
I hate it when Hausa people called me Inyamuri even though am not Igbo, when Hausa people see a fair person they refer him as Inyamuri

Sanchez01:

Well, true. Branding as a result of what you eat isn't a crime.

I know for a fact that the Yorubas refer to Igbo folks as 'Aj'okuta ma m'omi' (One who eats stone without drinking water - Origin: The Igbo Akpu is stronger and stone-like compared to the typical Yoruba fufu' and then there is 'Ndi ofe mmanu' (Oil soup eater - Origin: The Yorubas obviously fancy palm oil to vegetable oil and they use it in abundance when cooking).

Where I'm from, we have a name for the Yorubas, Hausas and Igbos based on obvious habits. Regardless, the scenario is a bit different when 'Inyamuri' is compared with all other aforementioned names. There is a sad story to the name the earliest people who branded the names on the Igbo people did so out of spite and ridicule. While the average Northerner might not understand that it is derogatory, using the same in a body of work even though the song is non provocative is a huge miss. Research should be the foundation of every creative works.

Try calling an Irish man Cromwell, and if you live, I'll ask you, was Cromwell not a popular Irish figure?

Charlie2020:
Aboki means friend and mallam means teacher. How's that derogatory

ivandragon:


Like I wrote in my post... Be mindful of locations & situations...

For instance, if you call someone a Mullato (person of half black, half white, usually of Spanish/Portuguese descent but is often extended to other similar racial combinations) in Nigeria, such a person won't bat an eyelid & might even be cool with being termed such.

But call someone a Mullato in countries like Brazil, Argentina, Spain & some other countries, & it could turn bloody because it can be termed an insult...

However, in those same countries, there are certain places where it is used in a casual manner & everyone is ok with it... Hence my point of location & circumstances...
