But's its not because of CE headlines when he uses the same moniker himself.

Re: Is the Oyinbo Wall Secure?
It's more about the sentiment behind the headline. And using the hashtag doesn't necessarily mean he supports that sentiment.

Not only that, he has a tendency to go into rash tackles.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

True, but it would be nice to know their thoughts.The YeyeMan wrote:It's more about the sentiment behind the headline. And using the hashtag doesn't necessarily mean he supports that sentiment.
I think the whole experience of having 180m people embrace you - in fact, CLAIM you - as their own after a lifetime living in the white west is something you and I can only imagine (I'm assuming you are not mixed race yourself).
I think it was Balogun that got really emotional on one occasion and spoke about it.

How do you know what the "sentiment behind the headline" is?The YeyeMan wrote:It's more about the sentiment behind the headline. And using the hashtag doesn't necessarily mean he supports that sentiment.
Furthermore, the context of the hashtag's usage does NOT indicate angst or disapproval.

Re: Is the Oyinbo Wall Secure?
I've taken a guess what the sentiment is. The quote I provided by Ekong makes the point that being called "white" (oyinbo) indicates a lack of "acceptance" by those who call them that.Gotti wrote:How do you know what the "sentiment behind the headline" is?The YeyeMan wrote:It's more about the sentiment behind the headline.

The context of the hashtag doesn't indicate approval either.

Added to the fact that he has PERSONALLY retweeted the moniker SEVERAL times.
Furthermore, abegi quit conflating issues. That some folks make them feel as foreigners in Holland/Nigeria is NOT mutually-exclusive with him approving of the Oyinbo Wall moniker (and again has nothing to do with CE headlines).

I agree with you. They are fondly called, "Oyibo Wall". There's no derision implied nor expressed. Both fellas have actually embraced the title.Gotti wrote:Since we are guessing, it indicates MORE approval than disapproval...The YeyeMan wrote:I've taken a guess what the sentiment is.

Reading a negative meaning into something that was done out of adulation. It says a lot more about your thinking and mindset...

Methinks they are quite proud of the title 'Oyibo Wall'.
With the two of them in central defence and Ikeme in goal that wall was very aptly titled.
Being called 'Oyibo' in Naija doesn't come with the negative racial undertones that the N-word carries in the west.

Why would he tweet something he doesn't agree with?
https://guardian.ng/sport/oyinbo-wall-b ... s-defence/They have come to be known as the ‘Oyinbo’ (an often pejorative term for light-skinned foreigners) Wall, a nod to their mixed race heritage. It is endearing that they themselves have adopted the name, and are entirely comfortable with it. It is a very Nigerian trait – thick skin; the sensibility to take things light-heartedly and in good humour, turning a potential negative into a positive.
