you right bro! and trust me i am not the type, but you no when you get pushed to the wall , you just have to react.. this people's behaviors are becoming unbearable and hard to ignore this days.. they blame every other tribe or person for every of their misfortune.. the Hausas are Abokis yorubas are yeyeruba or yoroba,Edo are Ashawos, calling other demeaning and Hurtful names but glorifying their own tribe. may be it makes them feel better about themselves, i dont know and thats' their business. but hey, they are not the only ones that can play that game...you throw a stone on top of my roof and household, then be rest assured you wont sleep at night >Yoruba Proverb

Hers is better than yours 1 Trillion times. You have no brain. You have a maggot infested brain. You’ll never achieve what she accomplished in your life time. You are a stark mad illiterate.
You should admire and appreciate her accomplishments because she is so young.
