We need to set the records straight.. no hard feelings.
Some of us can see through Davido's shenanigans.. I've been listening to songs even before he (Davido) started singing and I know for a fact that he leveraged on "Yoruba language" to boost his music career. Of course you know that the Yoruba dialect is like music on its own.

There are people close to Davido now trying to use him to project their clan above all others which is obvious from the statement he made..

I'm sure the same reckless comments of his triggered the LASU woman to counter his post on X. That route he is going is deep and only smart people can decode that level of darkness. That's dark bigotry he is using.
Dude, I used to know someone like you. The day he died, what was written on his grave was here lies a dead man. Not here lies an Igbo man or Hausa or YoruBa man. Keep carrying tribalism for head as if no be this world you go leave am. No worry, death go humble you and you will only take that heart to your grave.

Proud Yorubas are doing their thing, achieving great feat in music, movie, sports, medicine, academics, business etc.
No modafvcker can talk Yorubas down.
Most if not all of the dollar billionaires from Nigeria are Yorubas,
At least 5 out of top 10 richest Nigerians are Yorubas.

Yorubas are the real deal, reason other tribes can't stay away from Yoruba ingenuity.. Even globally, Yorubas have that recognition.
it's not ab bad advice it depends on how you swallow it, don't swallow it with bitterness, I can do same to my child to follow yorubas on some areas that I see that they are doing well

Stay far from from Igbos and prosperity and progress will stay far from you. Your mothers advice worked for you or how else can you explain that today you are one of the greatest musicians in the world known even by presidents and footballers like like C Ronaldo and Messi?
Be decieving yourself. How old was davido when his mum died. Igbos are the most easily decieved in Nigeria.

Your richest igbo man worldwide Arthur Eze is a product of government made. He said it during IBB book lunch. IBB made him 100%. He was gifted an oil well when his state don't have.

This is Davido's mother's own personal opinion she is free to have and to express to her son. Davido can go public with it. That's his right per freedom of speech.

I really don't think it should be a big deal for those secure in themselves and grounded enough to know opinions are not empirical or gospel truth.

Folks need to Davido praised Igbos but does not denigrate any other ethnic group.

Every wealthy and successful Yoruba family know this secret too, that is why most successful Yoruba families married Igbo or their kids married from the Igbo bloodline, it's a secret, just as Americans and Europeans discovered same secret about Jews and reason most wealthy Americans and Europeans today have some ties with the Jews.


The nodowells can continue to hate Igbos for nothing, it's their loss, the wise successful Yoruba families understand better.



Before you argue with me, make a list of all the successful Yoruba families you know and check who they married or who their sons and daughters married too. You can also go deeper to know who their closest business ties are.



To the nodowells, continue hating Igbos grin

All these because a son shares an advice he received from his mother?

Wow. I've always said that we are worse than the racists of the West. Imagine black men turning against black men because of tribe.

Damn!

But , your mum would have told you to stay away from your father too . Because your mum see your father as a Yoruba and married him . After that he told you to stay away from Yoruba . As a celebrity tried to encourage unity among different tribe . Keep what your mum told you to yourself .

That 'emotional' truth from him is uncalled for.. that's the point.
Why didn't his mother marry an Igbo man instead of his rich father Adeleke from Osun?.

Think about it.. someone that was born with a silver spoon in his mouth talking as if he was born into suffering.
Bro, you are just insecure. Nothing bad was said about the yoruba people by davido or his mother but you've turned it into something else. It seems your only issue with this is that something good was said about igbo people. Give it a rest

DomPerignon:
Why then did his mother not stay close to her own ibo tribe and marry from there?

When he and chioma were having relationship issues and they separated, I recall how same ibos were castigating him as a typical randy Yoruba demon and using him as case study why none of their women should marry a Yoruba man.

Its also of great inferiority complex for a whole tribe to boast that their women are being sought after and married by others.

Why should this be a point of boasting when your women prefer to marry from outside your tribe ? You can never see or hear of Fulani women even considering marrying outside their tribe. Even Yoruba women all prefer to marry within. A typical Effik man will always prefer to marry from his tribe . Same thing from their women.

All this trash you wrote now, how e take concern advice davido mama give am?

you don't have to publicly display jealousy. Stop being insecure! It's eating you up deeply. Even visitors here can feel it. Someone like you can poison a person while pretending to be his best friend. Probably why a Bini mom had to advice his son to stay close to those that will nurture him and risk their lives for him

How did present day Abia which was once Effik land become an Ibo territory ?

On the death of the Effik monarch , a power tussle erupted between the two princes who were born of different mothers.

The majority of the people ed the Prince who was older and birthed by an Effik woman. The other son who was born of an ibo woman then conived with the few ibo settlers who arranged for backup from IBO land to come fight for the throne. The Effik born son was defeated and the IBO born son who expected to become the king was not allowed to be king by his Ibo allies. Most Effik people fled the land following the conflict and till this day the once Effik lands of present day Abia became IBO land.

I can swear on my life that if Davido's mum was Yoruba and his dad was Ibo and he made this same statement but rather with Yoruba in place of Ibo you will all call for his head.

The case of the LASU lecturer who responded to Davido statement by simply posting that her children will marry Yoruba who was viciously attacked by you ibos come to mind.

Is staying close to Ibos the same with talking down on Yorubas?

They think the opposite of Igbo is Yoruba,they always feel attacked when Igbo is being praised because to them it means the person is insulting Yoruba
They at the only ethnic group in Nigeria nay in the world that their election campaign is painting others Igbo so their people can hate that person and vote against that person,Jonathan,Jimi etc

Don't tell me that picture isn't photoshopped? If it's real...I don't know. Those people need help because their psych is messed.

Why do Igbo girls like Yoruba guys so much? I can testify to this in my area right here in Lagos. You keep avoiding them, and they keep coming, not even minding the age difference.

You always have excuses for your failure

Yoruba billionaires in US and UK like Tope Awotona and Bayo Ogunlesi are government enabled? If it is so easy why couldn't Jonathan turned Igbo to billionaires because they were the closest to him?
