Looking for problems where none exists. When are we ever going to dwell as one people in this country? Or, better still, why don't we all just -- each tribe-- go our separate ways, so that peace can exist? What is all this rabble rousing here and there, all over the place?

oyatz:



1) The lecturer, never reed anything

2) She has a right to write anything on her FACEBOOK page
3) Making sure her children marry from her tribe is NOT an attack on Igbo

4) Anyone bullying her and threatening her should be arrested

5) Conservative Yoruba organisations should step up campaigns to protect Yoruba interests ,including long term cultural interests.

All liars go to where again... What brought about her statement if not a reer from a davido discussion.... What..?

DarkJeddi:
She got triggered by Davido saying he has Igbo blood?
She doubled down to make an ethnic issue out of it.
And now when some people had issues with it she's the victim?
What EXACTLY is her business with Davido having Igbo blood?

Obviously she's out of line and her statement should be condemned by all but threatening her kids and family is equally as bad and even much worse and thst is what I am completely against.

Such people paint those condemning her statements in bad light. What's our business in threatening her life and kids? That is completely wrong and unacceptable.

Igbos and Yorubas should allow us hear word on social media.

I know how many Igbo/Yoruba marriages I have attended in the last one year.

oyatz:



When hasn't become a crime for Yoruba to express their desires for Yoruba spouses publicly?

This is the critical issue - The attempts by over zealous Igbo ,especially in the Obidients Movement, to silence or denigrate anything Yoruba.

This should be resisted and those bullying her be arrested and charged to court.

Have you considered the effects and impact of the woman's utterances on Davido's family and other people that had inter tribal marriages? If someone as highly placed and supposedly educated as that woman can make such insensitive utterances in a highly polarized nation like Nigeria....that says a lot.

Sir, it gladden my heart that an elder like share your personal experience on the matter at hand. They are very clannish and always scheming. Just imagine the scenario you narrated, imagine their plan as far back as military era.

If any outsider try to marry into their dynasty, they either make the person disappeared or frustrate his/her life before sending her away.

professorPABX:


They are golddiggers only looking for free money and fame. It is the liberality of the YORUBAS that causes all this nonsense.

Several years ago (during the military era) as a student at a University in IBO land, a lady, a co-student told me her parent will never allow her to marry an outsider. She told me sorrowfully.

Her name is ADAKU, I can never forget that name. Later, I was made to understand that first daughter don't marry outsider according to their tradition. Coincidentally, the lady (Adaku's friend) who told me first daughter don't marry outsider according to their tradition later married a personal friend of mine who is a Muslim from Niger State. We have less than 6% of the total population from the North and they are mainly from Kwara and Benue.

Some ladies said the family of the other lady agreed because my friend is a young Alhaji, her father is the MD of a popular juicy Federal Government agency in Lagos and after NYSC my friend is relocating abroad, which means the lady on completion of her degree is going abroad with him. No Yoruba family gives out their daughters because of wealth.

Outsiders marry into dynasties in Yoruba land. We have seen people marrying into ABODERIN family inheriting billions for their children. We have seen several marriages from outside Yoruba land into dynasties in Yoruba land. My sister is a victim. You can never find a YORUBA male or female marrying into their wealthy families or dynasties.

Africans and blacks are seriously in trouble. Despite our shared religions and cultures, we still can't see eye to eye with each other, without pretence. How can there be development and progress under such circumstances? Europe and most Asian nations have gone way beyond these...but we are still fighting tribal wars in this age!

DomPerignon:


She said her children will Mary Yoruba.

How is that hate speech?

Is self love and ethnic national pride now a sin to you IBO Marxists ?

Not even ethnic national pride. It is ethnic preservation in a very fishy world we find ourselves.

she's not out of line because she did not make that statement in the i_g_b_0_ region.. anyone like you condemning her is the real and true tribalist..

she is been pro-Yoruba in the Yoruba nation and it is paining you and making you angry then you are the bigot and tribalist and blackmailer...

ElSudani:


Did she mention Davido? If she didn't why are you all attacking her? Isn't it hypocritical when Anambra parents wouldn't let their children marry from Ebonyi?

Where did you read that?

Nigeria is not a highly polarized nation. Nigeria only exists on paper..

she made the comments in the Yoruba nation and Yoruba nation is not polarized..

her comments is her expressing her love for her Yoruba ethnicity.

has it become a crime for Yoruba to express their desires and love for their Yoruba self love

can you go to China, Qatar and say to a Qatari or Chinese person that he or she is insensitive for showing self love of their Chinese and Qatari ethnicity... because that is what you are doing to the Yoruba woman.

you are the tribalist...

its not just dynasties they are targeting...

they are also targeting the Y_0_r_u_ba middle class and those above middle class..

if you are the son of a landlord or landlady they will make it very easy for you to have s_e_x with them regularly until you get them pregnant...

I came to the conclusion that they are escaping poverty in their region and they like people with money or generational wealth..

Petty and invaluable issue to discuss

Don't mind them jare...

So you know Davido's mother more than Davido know her mother?

Davido confirmed it himself, before I also thought the mom was from Edo.

Davido even said her mom advised her to always be close her people if he wants to go far in life.

I hope you also know that Davido's paternal grandmother is Igbo from Enugu state?

Davido's mom is from Edo State. She was a lecturer in Babcock University. Her records are there till date.

I just love the wave of conservatism blowing across Lagos and by extension Yorubaland…..this people have been having it coming for a long time with there over bearing attitude in our land.

They seem to have forgotten how they got here and they are now so comfortable, they even now want to dictate to us how we run our affairs. I hope there elders start talking some sense into there head

The last election in Lagos have really exposed their agenda…..this is a wake up call to all Yorubas still sitting on the fence to wake up and embrace the wave of “Conservatism”blowing across yorubaland, eko oni baje o…..btw proudly Lagos

O baje ti.

Ikaeniyan0:
How many Yorubas dey Igbo land compared to Igbos in Yoruba land? There's hardly any part of Ijebu and Awori land Igbos can't be found.

We shouldn't violence, it won't favour anybody.

My children will marry Yoruba. Otherwise, they marry Hausa or south south....

Lol u seem confused,she made the response cos she was pained about Davido's statement on having Igbo blood. That's what made her a tribal bigot and utter those disappointing statements.

Is pro yoruba another word for tribal bigot? Cos I don't understand ur point.

Wizardslayer:
Do you think davido can win governor of Osun state in the future?

He will easily win. Leave online matter. When time reach they'll dance to the polling booth and vote him.

No be nigeria again.

With approximately 371 tribes in Nigeria, only a tribe triggered Na by force to marry outsider ni?

Look at the what an Igbo woman said on Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19YVwcKZZi/

I didn't see the outrage

franchasng:



una just like forming saint after causing trouble, na wa oh, na only una de Nigeria self? Lol


Read this:

The controversy began on Wednesday, May 21, when Dr. Olarinmoye reacted to Afrobeat singer Davido’s comments about his Igbo ancestry by writing on her Facebook page: "I would ensure my kids marry Yoruba."


Out of the 371 tribes you claim are in Nigeria, Davido said he came from the Igbo tribe as his mother happens to come from Anambra state and that was when the razz lecturer ed that her children must marry only Yoruba, what does that mean? It's a direct attack on the tribe Davido identified with, stop pretending or twisting facts.


You know why she said that but as usual, you guys are very good at pretence and treachery.



And listen, she making sure her children marry only Yoruba is her choice but coming online on a post where a famous music star identified with his mother's tribe to say such thing makes that woman a very despicable human being, it was an obvious attack on Igbo tribe Davido identified with, so whatever criticisms she got she fully deserved it

Where is the outrage against this Igbo woman that made similar statements to this on Facebook?

Prosperchuks1344:


Una too mụ..mu...

Yorubas started it on twitter of which Davido replied the tribalist, now your uncultured lecturer came online to spew rubbish because of the deep hatred y'all have for Igbo's..

What about this Igbo woman that said her daughter will never marry Yoruba?

You see any Yoruba person bark about it

Slytiger:

It's not when they send threats like the below.

So all the ones yorubas have been doing to Obi no be anything, should all the nonsense yorubas wrote about Obi be brught to light, if hypocrisy is a person, I don't want to believe this is the exact personality the yorubas are, helinues already said it is a petty and shouldn't be an issue, na the children will decide their marriage in future not the parents.

But you can continue with this your behaviour, result go soon show.
