This is simply wonderful! I feel so proud to be of Yoruba descent!

There's nothing like original. This is my heritage and originality. Ohhhh my God, what am I doing here in England, while my people are living a stress free life back home. It is well with me oooooooooooo. Proud being black and proud to be a Yoruba man.
