We've been here before.

No, Fulani cannot join. It is not a national force. It is indigeneous and exclusive.

Can Christians join Hisbah?

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland and National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Iba Gani Adams, has written a letter to the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), over the Federal Government’s declaration of the South-West’s ‘Operation Amotekun’ as illegal.

In the letter dated January 15, Adams stated that the right to preserve and protect life can never be in the exclusive list of any government.

He said that the AGF’s declaration against the governors who were elected, not selected or appointed, is against the spirit of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution (as amended).

Adams also condemned the AGF over his threat that the full course of the law would be applied to anybody promoting the Amotekun security initiative.

“It is unfortunate that rather than praise the governors, you are condemning their action, thereby strengthening the hands of those who believe the Federal Government is against some sections of the country,” Adams said in the letter.

“As a lawyer and a Senior Advocate, you should know that you are not the law. You are only the Attorney-General, not a court.

“It is only a court of competent jurisdiction that will decide if what an individual, group of individuals, an entity or a state does is legal or otherwise.

“So, it is only a court that can invalidate the South-West joint security initiative, not you.

“I want to establish this fact that the Yoruba have a right to protect themselves from attack or violence of any sort.

“Issues of security is highly sensitive, and we can now understand where the threat is coming from. It is unfortunate that the FG is doing everything to frustrate the southwest governors’ efforts.”

He added that Amotekun initiative has nothing to do with the territorial integrity of Nigeria and If there was a breach of the territorial integrity of the country, the military would come in immediately.

Adams added that “One thing is clear: Nigerians have the right to protect themselves. Not only that: South-West people have a right to protect and defend themselves against attacks. Amotekun is an initiative by the South-West governors to defend our people.”

I give greetings to all of you and I say long time no see!

Periodically I hang around as guest to observe but I lost interest in the cross-bashing in Nairaland. Reason is because I realized we get more done and accomplished in our communities in a face to face congregation than we do in Nairaland wasting spit with others. I therefore urge each of you to look for an OPC community chapter nearby you and join membership. Bring your ideas, bring your frustrations, bring your fears and your concerns.

I saw a post late last night about Yoruba progress and the warnings of Akintola. I returned from my early morning errands now and cant find it, but I know what must have happened, Im not new here.

We must not stay in face of enemy to share with him what we will do. It will never get done. We must take it away from his knowledge. What he doesn't know doesn't hurt him.

If the future of our fatherland and its security and your birthright in it is that important to you, call an OPC chapter today and say you want to become a member. It doesnt matter which faction, both have same goal and Iba Gani Adams has succeeded in working out a unified front and cohesion. If you live abroad there are OPC chapters in that country. Go register and get membership today.

Ajo ma se ni o, l'oruko awon baba wa ati awon iya wa!

Check it out

I am shocked by some of what I read in here. I know a lot of Yoruba investments around the globe and here at home but not this deep. This one is a surprise gaan ni papa!

OP God bless you! God bless all those that contributed inputs.

Collect contributions from Baba Ijebu, Okoya, Doyin, Adenuga, Tejuosho, , ... put their contributions together and Yoruba will purchase all of Iboland.

We never add Obasanjo money o, we never add Fernandez, or Alakija, Otedola, Adenuga, Kase Lawal, Kola Karim, Jimoh Ibrahim.

Kase Lawal ranks number 2 on Top Ten Black owned companies in US.

The floor at World Economic Forum in Davos is typically given to Govt and world bodies for their representatives to make presentations. Its not a place for private investors to deliver speech. Kola Karim was given the floor in Davos to speak to world leaders. The Vatican is not your Church, if you want to worship Jesus go to your neighborhood Church and kneel down....but the Pope gave the floor to IFA Priest Prof Wande Abimbola to pray for the Universe. America does not glorify KINGS and Royalty, they fought a war to remove their sovereingty and separate from the Crowwn....but to Ooni of IFE Philadelphia shut down and even facilitated his access to perform a ritual to Olokun and Sango in the City.

How many we want talk? We might live under rusted roof but we rule the World! Yoruba ti re ko ja!!

According to Gujungu, “These South west people think that we don’t understand the politics they are playing, we do but we will shock them when the time comes.

Dear Gujungu,
OPC received your memo and passed it to our youths. Here is their response...

COUNTDOWN
How many days to October 1st sef?

So Yorubas and Hausas are not complaining that they dont have share in Ibos domination over interstate trading or import or transportation, not even over commodity marketing..why then is Ibo discontent and want also dominate politics and financial controls, and if they are not given access into these sectors of the national wealth they are always crying of marginalization and need to create Biafra?

Yorubas are marginalized in imports and marketing, Hausas are marginalized in interstate trading..yet neither one complains.

International community should ignore Ibos cry of marginalization. If they want political and financial access they should open up and allow access in the areas they currently dominate so others can compete.

Yoruba -
Commercial nerve center and Financial backbone of Nigeria.

Hausa -
Political and Military backbone of Nigeria

Ibo -
Marketing and Facilitation backbone of Nigeria


Ibos have monopoly over trading, interstate road transportation, import and are backbone for interstate trading

Instead of him to call meeting with Elders in his constituency and seek amend he is taking INEC to court. All his party top ranking officers want him gone, his co-Senators want him gone, media is tired of his narrow mind, his constituency are recalling him. Only Saraki and Ekweremadu want him retained. Its a pity!

Assisting the Internally Displaced Ndiigbo: whether this threat is carried out or not, some people have been traumatized by this threat and as a result will leave the northern part of Nigeria. IWA is calling on the Nigerian government and the International Community to immediately setup plans and provide resources to deal with Igbo internally displaced people from the Northern Nigerian States.

Dino became power drunk, started talking to everybody any kind of way, and killed a lucrative career.

It is astonishing that throughout this ordeal Igbos, who typically would have printed banners and rally in support of him, have their own bitter ordeals to deal with.

Where is Saraki sef? Dino was always there in court to support Saraki. What happened?

Kingsley10000:
after pmb is ngige or soludo

We need a candidate Ibos believe in. Remove Ngige because you all don't believe in him.

Soludo is a political weakling, he is well educated and his popularity in East is not as strong as Ngozi Iweala. Obasanjo is his godfather and will sponsor him but is Soludo interested in national politics? He doesnt even belong in a party. It appears he is comfortable in his academic career. Leave him alone where he is.


You should select a female
Ngozi Iweala (godfather Obasanjo)
Obiageli Ezekwesili (godfather Obasanjo)
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Nnamdi Kanu)

RedboneSmith:


Who told you this type of marriage necessarily involved intimacy between the 'woman-husband' and the wife?

A woman wants a child, but can't have one. She goes and marries a younger woman. She enters into an agreement with a man to impregnatldren for her. That's how it worked. It's basically an early form of surrogacy.

No where in the world, no culture where a woman goes into a marriage contract on behalf of a man.
Not even in Ibo culture.

Find another excuse.

woodcook:
The write up is misleading at best.

There is a huge difference between what the same sex marriage that is under contention entails and what the duty(sexual) of the "woman-husband" to her wife is in Igbo culture.

The main purpose of the Igbo same sex marriage is child bearing which is in essence different from the roles that partners play in same sex marriage.

If a woman is unable to bear child with a man the solution does not rest in intimacy with a woman. She needs sperm, woman does not produce sperm.

What other excuse do you have?

9jakool:
Make I try
Yoruba
Circle- ayipo
hexagon- onigun mefa
Oval- ayipo gbigbun
Pentagon- onigun marun
Rectangle- opon
Rhombus- onigun merin gbigbun
Semi Circle- ayipo idameji
Square- onigun merin
star- irawo
trapezoid- (Not even going to attempt that)
Triangle- onigun meta

Even the English words had to be borrowed from Latin.

Well done!

Wise input!

So NAFDAC busted these Yoruba people in Ilorin?

I thought fake products is synonymous with Ibos, since when Yoruba start to produce fake wine?
Na wah o!

Buhari has a fetish with the name "Lawal", "Lawan".

I bet you if there was a Biafran named Lawal or Lawan, Buhari no go mind say na 5%, he will bring him in as next SGF.

EnigmaticEnigma:
Can an igbo man rule osun or Lagos?

Can an hausa man rule Anambra?

In the U.S, you just have to be a resident of the state to become a governor. They don't care if you were born in texas or Newyork, before you can rule california.

So are we really one Nigeria them?

Stop dreaming. We are not in US!

May their souls reat in peace.

See this iboman as he dey roll for ground to thank the first family for elevating him. Chei!

Forget about Kanu....Al Mustapha is the new Ibo hero and leader!

ajebuter:
Oya make we play guessing game...

lf Cossy Ojiako decides to float a political party....

What will be the logo of the party?

You are a true Yorubawoman. Look at those beautiful almond-shaped eyes!

Daboomb:



Al Mustapha is feeling the HEAT .....and HE is desperate to HIDE under A "GOVERNORSHIP IMMUNITY", at least 4yrs!
The trial was supposed to be re-oped soonne

Ambode has spoken.
Al Mustapha will hear from us soon!

Sunnynwa:
Al-Mustapha, you is the man.

The only man that makes Afonjas shit in their pants.

Remember that after his release he was spending time going back and forth between Abuja and SE. He was tootsie-rolling with Ibo leaders in GEJ administration in Aso and in Iboland.

Forget about IPOB, Al Mustapha has launched a party for Biaflans to get equity in Nigeria.

Environer:


I hope you argue same when the names are Okoro or Obi. Yeye dey smell

Depends on what Okoro and Obi are charged for.

There is nothing criminal in the nature of these transactions, they are all an exchange of individual needs. I bet if you inspect the ad they put in the dating website their targets were elderly and rich white men and women and they lured them with promotion of young and healthy African boys and girls.

Some of the male targets will be gay white men, some will be heterosexual, the women are cougars who need young blood to make them feel whole and sexy and fulfilled. In exchange for the promised goodies of fvcking young African pussy the men foolishly parted with money. So did the women. White Americans, whether male or female are obsessed with having sex with Africans but they keep it under and in secrecy. This dating website gives them a window to live their desire in the dark and so they believe in the ads and fell victim.

Those who dont go to website actually spend money buying airplane ticket and book hotel in Africa to come and fvk young underage black girls and no one arrests them for defiling underage girls or in case of gays, underage boys.
So if they can travel to our continent and defile our children and is accepted as exchange of interests, why is it crime when Africans there take their money in exchange for a promise to deliver satisfaction? Think about it. It is racial but they sneaked it in as violation of law.

A white American man came to Africa and killed two protected lions and it was broadcasted around the globe, yet there was no protest from animal rights advocacy group and he is not in prison. Michael Vick, a black NFL player was demonized by animal advocacy group for involvement in dog fights, and served prison term. A very promising athlete, his career went down hill from there.

There is no crime here, its just another expose of the weakness in white people, they dont have the capacity to match our street smartness and to curtail our supremacy and control of assets in a parallel market they throw the books of law at us and keep us under. Simple!

Its same thing with 419. If i say i have 40billion naira and willing to give you 15% to help me smuggle it out and you agree to give me your bank account, which i depleted....why am i a thief? What should we call you that conspired with me to smuggle money?

Lets drop this one, no need for NCAN name inspection.

WiseFool2:

That is a guy na.Can't you see his body structure? Moreover, if it was a female, you would have seen the breast from the side view.

By the way, i thought u were female.Nairaland males creating female monikers since 560 AD.

Lmao

BlowBack:


So in other words, you are in agreement with me that this money was sourced from a legal source most likely the CBN!

Of course im in agreement with you. Who else, what bank has the security holding to release such amount and still be standing? Beside CBN, perharps the first generation banks....First Bank, Union Bank.

BlowBack:


lol.

Are you now insuniating the note are fake in order to exonerate the CBN from this fraud?

The fact remains that only the CBN can easily supply so much forex .

The parallel market depends on sales from individuals and from banks.

The serial sequence of the notes, their mint condition and the print date proves that the notes must have been call order funds by the CBN!

To confirm this, we have confirmed from serial numbers of the notes and traced its origin back to the CBN. The notes have a print date as early as 2016!

This is not any terror cash neither is this part of the NIA covet slush funds released back in 2014.

This money has its origin during the era of chanji!

You misunderstood what I wrote.

1. Americans already got in and inspected them. This is normal procedure when huge amount of stashed dollar outside the banking sector is discovered. They do not publicize their interest in order not to arouse embarassments.

2. The fact the dollar currency has not been destroyed says much...THEY ARE AUTHENTIC SERIES!

3. They were not sourced from underground syndicates, therefore they had to have been chanelled through a bank source.

4. Whatever bank has such huge amount of dollar in its posession and was able to release it without impact to its holding responsibilities or ending in insolvency ought to be investigated.

5. Nigeria has bad and poor process of record keeping, and no one in the banking and financial sector would match the serial batches to a specific banking institution, but I bet you the Americans can. They have a up and down system for tracking a pencil, much more such large stock of cash.

If you stab someone with a pencil and they die. If investigators put their hand on the pencil they will track the lead by its grain property to a specific manufacturer and date of manufacture and the store that sold the batch...to the receipt issued to the buyer and then review surveilance camera image of the cash register, date and exact time of purchase....and arrive at the conclusion of who they are looking for. They run a tight society!

They can finger the bank that did this....but again, they will not interfere to save embarassments at diplomatic level.
