Bigchee72: That's great. We are interested in Ooni's activities because he is not just a king, he is the spiritual head of the Yoruba race and we don't want to see that throne demystified. |

bayooooooo: I put the itinerary together for the event at MoCADA. Invited are the Hitchens, Studio Museum of Harlem, Dance Africa (America's oldest festival dedicated to African dance) and other black organizations from the Diaspora. MoCADA is also moving to a $12million facility next year. They are looking for Yoruba artists to place their footprint in the museum. the intention is to forge ties with the diaspora and spread our culture. 1 Like |

sukkot: Nyggah, who takes clowns on the seriously? You must be losing it to think I give two fvcks about ya opinions. You chat shyte on the internet and you get banged up there and on to the next one. It was a Saturday and England was playing. I went to the pub to watch football and linked people after. Try that sometimes and stop locking yourself in a house in the Manchester shytehole. Get some fresh air from time to time. Lack of fresh air is the reason why you stay stuck in worshipping constellation and bowing down to a white Jesus/saviour allegory who couldn't save himself, while spamming idiotic verses from a story book about allegories everywhere, you white man's slave. Anyway, it seems you're the only one with the big mouth that stays challenging the Field Marshal. Ya fellow rookies in the politics section know better. And any of you that has a problem with my posts can see me online and get e-smacked, or you can come see me offline and get pistol-whipped. Clowns. The Yoruba Don! |

Bigchee72: Nice. And make sure you tell the Yoruba elders out there to speak to that guy - he's moving like a clown and not a king befitting of the throne. That's the US - Yoruba culture has been big there way before Yorubas from Nigeria started migrating there en masse. Even as far back as the 60s, a lot of the things the Black Panther Party used were from Yoruba culture. 2pac's mum named herself Afeni way before she mostly had contacts with Yorubas from naij. Kareem Abdul Jabbar said his dad told him they're from the Yoruba people of Nigeria from way back. And Nas' dad changed his name to Olu Dara from way back. Etc. No one is spreading something that has always been there - you just need to keep celebrating it and make the bond stronger. 1 Like 1 Share |

Shym3xx: Being that I'm born and raised in New York, hearing Nigerian or Nigerian Brits speaking in U.S. Venacular (talking hood) is beyond embarrassing and is laughed at. Please....all this "niqqa" talk, "snitches get stitches" doesn't sound right coming out of your mouths. Worse is me knowing folks who live here state side that have actually LIVED OUT that slang you so cutely mimic. Stop pretending you're hood |

Bigchee72: Lmao...you're a clown! Who gives a shyte about where you were born and raised? I bet you don't know that the word "nigger" is an European word (Latin) and there were black slaves in England, before they were moved to Virginia, when King George decided to start a cotton plantation there and move them there, no? And they were called "niggers". And "snitch" is an English word from the word "snitcher" which can be substituted for "informer". So cos these words were popularised by the hiphop culture (hiphop isn't even really an American thing despite the fact that it started in the Bronx - it had more Caribbean influences at the beginning) - you think it's a US hood thing, yes? You're a clown! You must think black people in the UK only eat tea and crumpet, and we don't have hoods here - effing clown. Hood vernacular is hood vernacular and most of these words are English words popularised by Americans. Just as the new fashion trend of wearing skinny/slim jeans and fitted clothes are European urban fashion from way back when Americans were wearing baggy clothes. Now they've copied our style and popularised it and I bet ya clown arse would also call it US fashion - hysterical. If you want to know what London is like cos you're stuck in the US...watch and read the following: 1). Juelz Santana kidnapped in London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAtCWfaOKNU 2). Camron chased out of London and narrowly escapes beatdown from 50 London goons! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ8SDzrwfDM 3). Ja Rule robbed in London. ^^^Those are ya New York "hood" nyggahs getting pissed on in London lool. Young Joc also got robbed for his big arse chain in London. Come to London and chat shyte, clown. |

sukkot:NO CHICAGO!! Bwahahahah I'm from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, born and raised. The irony of that clown posting something from Dipset considering it was somebody that I knew that shot and Robbed one of them, now doing a life sentence for murdering one of their bodyguards. I take this niche is nonsense very seriously because I've seen actual African-Americans and other blacks die over it.all of this cute "niggah" talk is annoying. I had to put my half-brother in Nigeria in his place for trying some front like he's an American trying to talk to me. If you came here Trying to talk like that there wolves here would eat him alive. |
Re: Obama To Honour Ooni Ogunwusi As NYC Declares Yoruba Day by Bigchee72: 10:25pm On Jun 12, 2016 |
Shym3xx: No one gives a damn about all that. "Niqqas" get Robbed everywhere. just stop fronting with black American talk. You're not from here . No one wants to hear Nigerians front saying "nee-gah" (that's how our people back home say it.) Stop it. Speak your own lingo. It's a clown show hearing Fam speak that when not raised here. |

sukkot: Lol... I'm from Franklin Avenue, Crown Heights. Mostly Carribean and African American crown heights. The clap at you part of crown heights. I reaaaaally get annoyed hearing Nigerians talking hood knowing what I grew up around in crack cocaine 1980s through the 90s where bodies were being dropped left and right. Especially being around for real "Niqqas" on that talk that Nigerians and Nigerian Brits are forcing it into their vocabulary. For real "Niqqas" you see around the way knowing they have bodies on their resumes. For real "Niqqas" who when you're waiting for your Chinese food, they walk into the restaurant and you're PRAYING Chin Lee finished with your order because you want to get the hell outta there as fast as possible before he has a reason to notice you. For real "niqqas" you're relieved to hear that someone else bodied them. Dudes who aren't rappers. So understand why I'm annoyed. I made it out of that trash alive. It wasn't an outfit to wear. It's still a part of who I am. That's why I get annoyed at Nigerians appropriating that language. They wasn't raised through this type of gun culture hell. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bigchee72: Loool. You are a circus clown (I won't even address you as a yank cos you're a naij clown that got dropped off the boat there lol). I actually thought you're hood but your bummy arse is from Crown heights of all places. A place that won't even make top 5 hoods in Brooklyn and definitely not top 20 in NYC lol. I know of Bed Stuy, Brownsville, Flat Bush, East New York, and Red Hook. You are a nerd, so stfu when I speak. I don't need to act hood cos I'm from Peckham the Narm, the grimiest hood in London (only Brixton can compete but my pygs pressured them on their own blocks)...Se15 with a 45 in ya face. The place where US come to pay for protection when they're out in London, you puzzy. A real one with scars, stars, and stripes from back in the day when I was active. I'll slap you in Crown heights and spit in ya face. What do you know about hood? You never banged; never shot food; don't know what a birdie is; never busted a 44 through a 4-door; and sure never learnt no street codes. So what the fvck is ya neeky arse telling me about hood for, you internet nerd? Even proper yanks know those words are stolen British lingo. The same way they left their baggy clothes for our fashion style. I bet ya bum arse is going to claim the new urban fashion of slim fitted clothes popularised in the US by Kanye and ASAP Rocky after stealing our shyte in London. Heck, I have been seeing "Stone Island" which is our ghetto fabulous designer on US rappers, ASAP rocky, Game, Chris Brown, and Drake lately. Very soon when they popularise it - your bum arse would come here and claim it that it's US hood fashion, you neek lol. Also, all the biggest US hits today have the British sound and the generic form of our house music, created in London. And even the two biggest US hiphop tunes "One Dance" and "Panda" have British sound. I bet ya bum arse would soon claim them as US sound looool. Yanks stole our words, our fashion, and our sound. "Nigger" and "Snitch" are British words started in the UK and they're part of our urban vernacular, you bum. And you're claiming Crown heights - the softest place in Brooklyn...stop claiming being hood, you neek. Chat shyte and get ya face slapped in Crown heights lol. I've been all over Brooklyn and I've got cousins born and raised in Brownsville (Van Dyke projects). Been to the projects and jammed with real Brooklyn thoroughbreds and it's all love cos real recognise real. And every time I meet real yanks who are about that life, it's all love cos real recognise real. They don't tell us we stole their words cos they're enlightened enough to know that they're British words and they know about the hoods in London. Fvck outta here, puzzy lool. Read ya books and stop watching too much hood movies loool. |

sukkot: I don't know why you are dyckriding this bozo. He is not even from a proper hood. Dominicans and Jews run Crown heights...the black people there are mugs and nerds lol. The clown is just trying to feel among and he played himself lol. Also, unlike the UK where as long as you are black and born/raised in the UK, you are a black Brit - the US is different. African Americans don't even see Nigerians born/raised in the US as part of them. So I don't know why this clown is trying to speak for a group he isn't part of. Talk about a fraud and circus clown. He should tell me any Nigerian American word I stole - failure to do that would show he's an idiot and a gormless loafer lol. |

Bigchee72: Small world. Should have figured this was you when I was reading this thread earlier. I missed the private reception with the Ooni but i ran into you outside MoCADA. It's O.D... from that other place. Thank you for putting together this program. I was impressed with the turnout, the respect for the Ooni and the culture on display from the entourage. It made an impression on Fort Greene and BK in general tonight. Shymexx--for what it's worth, I know Bigchee (by any another name though). He's a good dude. The gunman talk doesn't really do anything for you or for advancing Yoruba culture. Conceiving and executing this event deserves a salute. 2 Likes |
