ReplyDeleteAnd Olori Wura is just supposed to stand there and smile? Na wah oh.
Chai this people don carry their juju enter America. Eayah see all the obas leaving. May God help Americans.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o. This is not funny
Yoruba love free things and welfare die,they claim to love Nigeria but you hardly see them helping in the development of Nigeria like going to other states and helping with development,if they rent a house from you they will never add anything to beautify that house,they claim to love Nigeria but they are so quick to forge papers to get American and British passport, I believe the true Nigerians are the middle belt,SS and SE the rest of them migrated from Togo,chad,Niger and Mali. This oba I can bet will not have any property or investment outside of Lagos or Abuja but you see other tribes building businesses in other parts of Nigeria.you can hardly see a yoruba family that has people that speak othwr nigerian languages but go to other region and you see in abundance people who speak other nigerian languages,the excitement they get when anything british or America is associated with them amazes me.Thanks be to God that soon every man will go man his region,imagine how silly they all look.
DeleteAnonymous 13:29 do not be an agent of disunity haba ! Later you will call yourself a Christian, is that what the bible preaches? Is this love, peace and unity? Beware of your hateful and insightful comments. Nigeria will remain one if you like it or not the peace of God will reign.
