I do not like men. I'm straight. (I have nothing against homosexuals).
What's more, I think that the thread does nothing more than feed the rivalry between the two groups.
If we unite rather than separate?. Possibly so we benefit everyone.
No?

Yes it's true.
I do not speak English, I am Uruguayan and I speak Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan, Portuguese and Galician, but my English is really bad.
I use a translator to read and write.
I have no interest in talking to an Englishman. My intention is to share knowledge with my fellow Africans.
My apologies and greetings.

Inside ur heart now u are being impertial. Supporting others and being against ur tribe. Check the miss nigeria statistics and tell me the tribe with the highest number of winners. I don't blame u much, u are ibo but i am igbo and maybe we are not even from one tribe

@OP have you ever considered if some of those seemingly beautiful names in your culture have unpleasant meanings in another language?
