"I am not Yoruba, I am Nigerian"

[phcitywarrior]

What do you guys think about being black before being Yoruba, Igbo, Nigerian, Kenyan, South African etc?

Which is not to say give up your culture or anything, but recognise that ultimately we are different branches of the same tree so to speak.

Lord knows we need to come together. Everybody else gangs up on us all the time but we're too busy fighting amongst ourselves.

There's so much that needs to be fixed it's not even funny man.

BTW: I see you're from SA. Can you get me hip to some of that new underground house music coming out.

 

[Akata Man Bromo]

Get this wahala out of here! We have never been one and we shall never been one! DIVIDE NIGERIA! DIVIDE THE ZOO!

My fellow Americans. Beware of agents foreign and domestic

This isn't a game.

LAST TIME: Do you accept a ban bet?

No I don’t.

Then shut the fukk up, pusśy

Just remember. I was willing to bet my existence here on my blackness.

You weren't. You're a gutless coward in digital blackface. Sneak dissing and gossiping like a bytch.

 

[OfTheCross]

Do Nigerian brehs on here agree with this? Or African brehs from other countries? You all were Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa etc long before Nigerian correct?

That's how it always is. Our parents want us to be with ppl like us.

LOL you're asking the wrong guy my man, I don't really follow house, mostly hip-hop. If you're talking about gqom this track was huge this year.

 

[How Sway?]

Nigeria is a creation of colonial overlords with the purpose of extracting resources, so technically shes azz backwards BUT she has her heart in the right place.

I just dont agree with throwing away your ethnicity for your nationality.

Ehhh, not as big on gqom that much. But I've heard this track.

Gqm bangs in the club though.

I was out News Cafe in Sandton when "Midnight Starring" and "Makhe" were big.

Femi spoke on this

 

[T'krm]

That's a challenging issue for most black folks...

Some transcend from this though

If not but for functionality,and stabilization.

Unlikely. Too many fake countries in Africa ruled over by ethnic bigots. Just dash me my own so I can live in peace.

There's the real issue right there! Principalities,and heads of states w/their own vested interests feeding(purposely) into the fears, and suspicions of their respective populace.

 

[Pure Water]

If they want their country to become a powerhouse I think something like this may be necessary. Unification allows for problems to be solved easier. But I’m an outsider just giving my opinion. I don’t really know.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

No, but if that Yoruba woman says I have to extinguish my ethnic identity to be with her, I'll tell her to go hang.

Your question is strange and has little to do with the posting. The person who made that video wants Nigerians to rid themselves of their ethnic identities, ostensibly, through romance. When has romance ever cured inter-ethnic or inter-racial ills? You Americans should know of all people.

I'm not American. My father is Bini. Got captured in the Biafran War.

Some of Nigeria's problems are caused by leaders looking after their own tribe at the detriment to nation. This is perpetuated by outsiders favoring certain tribes or people to rule.

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Igbo,Yoruba ,Hausa or whatever have you, everyone here carries this same green useless passport that says Nigeria on it so by that like it or not we ARE all one and no one can debate it.

 

[Ikwa]

Voluntarily lose your identity brehs.

@The Odum of Ala Igbo
These people are sick why are they trying to make igbo people look, tribalistic when we intermarry more in nigeria, than anybody!
Propaganda!

Just give me biafra.

 

[4-Rin]

That's a correct statement. Why do people think there are only 3 tribes in Nigeria?
