Your grandma and your mom are part of Ibo women who dressed like Yoruba women in the 90’s to feel sophisticated and more advanced than regular Ibo women.
You can dislike President Tinubu — he is your President, and you are fully within your rights to criticize him.
You can dislike the APC — that is your prerogative.
You can even dislike Nigerian politicians as a whole — that is entirely your business.
But the line is crossed when:
— You transfer that political anger toward the Yoruba people.
— You disguise your dislike for certain politicians or parties as an excuse to attack Yoruba professionals, religious or traditional leaders, artists, businesspeople, or any Yoruba individual simply because of their identity.
That will no longer be tolerated. And it will be firmly and confidently resisted.
Not to be a dick or anything,
I love the make up
But somebody's gotta stand up for all the Iya Alagbo's that we mocked growing up
Modern babes dey bite their style gan
Among your friends, observe whether your ethnicity is constantly the target of their so-called “tribal” jokes. If it is, then what you may be experiencing is microaggression disguised as humor.
Bigotry against the Yoruba is quietly tolerated, but the second there is a reprisal, everyone suddenly finds their moral compass.
It is not only a double standard, it is weaponised civility used as a tool of social control to silence a targeted group. A classic bullying tactic.
Chinedu called a commissioner a Bigot
The commissioner addressed him by Dear Chinedu
Somehow the commissioner is labeled bigot for calling him Chinedu
Is actual government name
My question is Chinedu a slur word ?
While I believe the commissioner is not doing enough to rid Lagos of heaps of trash.
Tagging him a bigot for calling somebody by his actual name is trash that should be trashed.
Illbliss called Yorubas “scavengers” no outrage.
Wahab called Gbadebo- Chinedu which is his name…. Outburst!
To the Yoruba buts supporting this people; Are you guys stoopid or what???
If you're not careful, the logic on X will reduce your brain functioning.
You: My name is Gbadebo Chinedu Patrick......
Me: Mr Chinedu
You: You're a bigot.....
Why are you not proud of your name naaaa?
His name is literally
Chinedu Gbadebo Rhodes vivor!!
The chinedu comes first! Infact he used to bare chinedu not Gbadebo until he contested for governorship election in Lagos!
So tell me, how is calling him chinedu bigotry and tribalism!!!?
Are ibo name slurs now??!
You people are not angry that his following Harry, you are not angry that he called a Yoruba man Afonja (slur), but you are angry that they called him a name his parents named him and he’s happily using.
