  • FROM ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET…..AYIGBEISM 4 months ago

    It’s sad how Ewe People make things so tribal. The Kid very likely has a Ewe Dad and that’s very fine. An Ayigbe Father or Ayigbe Surname doesn’t call for ethnocentric comments, for Christ’s sake! Ohh I could think of ...

    He will only become a Ghanaian when he grows up, and fails to meet the high expectation the Americans have for him.If he adds Drugs to it as a matured immigrant , they will refer him to his root.Neocolonialist mindset.

    He has a better self awarenes than you. There was a reason why he asked Sanjay Gupta how his Indian name has inpacted his career.

  • ST Ghfuo: Canadians are dishonest, liars 4 months ago
