"I am not Yoruba, I am Nigerian"

[Hoodoo Child]

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

Mane look, one day I was reading this article on a website called Afrikanza - Promoting the Beauty of Africa . They were talking about Nigeria having over 300 ethnic tribes all living together in 1 country.
All those cultures packed together in one spot :dahellpicard:

Breh, I don't know his tribe or who he is but out of respect, take that one back. Don't say some fukk up shyt like that

You gonna have to explain this one breh. A neg is pending

What's there to explain? A true Nigerian knows what that means.
I keep telling you folks to rep UK, Canada and US and forget about Naija. You have no skin in the game but always feel the need to mouth off. Your parents were born in Nigeria but thats about it.

Stop using the word tribe, instead use ethnic group or ethnicity.

A ethnic group are people with a unique language, custom and cultures. Tribe is people from the same ethnic group but different linage. Example. Ethiopian civil war = Ethnic Warfare Somali Civil War = Tribal.

you are definitely an Oyibo, an Oyibo with Igbo parents. But Oyibo nonetheless.

Not following you. This was your original statement, explain this one first and even give me your opinions later

It simply means he is not from Igboland. You cant sell an Irishman in Ireland but you can sell him in China. Get it?

tribes lol

I have a question that I've posed here before

Out of maybe 20 Nigerian men that I know personally, at least 15 are paired up/married to white women. If there is still cultural reluctance to marry a fellow Nigerian of a different ethnic background......how are these inter racial weddings taking place (with the parents sanctioning it and attending the ceremony)?

And you are below a rat. My Hausa gateman will always refuse you entry. You struggle for simple garri.

Your frustration is my joy


In fact, you are not even Igbo. I’ve never seen you comment on Nigerian affairs. You’re probably a cac troll.

No. You throw black pepper, I toss ogiri. I don’t mind mocking people who are poorer and less educated than me.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

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.

But that’s basically what happened here. I’m surprised more Black people don’t understand this. There isn’t a group on the planet more tribal than whites, and in this country they had their early struggles with each other as each of the different white “tribes” kept basically to themselves. WASPS vs Italians vs Irish vs vs vs. Roman Catholic vs Protestant vs vs vs.

Today there are still some ethnic enclaves in this country, sure, and there’s plenty of ethnic pride. But it’s also nothing, and actually quite common, to find an Italian married to an Irishman, and so on. They certainly aren’t going to war with one another over any “tribes” or classifications or whatever.

Also can’t underestimate the part the military played and will continue to play in bringing this about.

In my mind what’s happening in that video is a natural progression. The next step should be to look past being “Nigerian” the same way we over here don’t necessarily identify with being “Texan” or “Georgian” more than being AA.
