Nonsense!!!
It's this sort of trying to live like sophisticated people in the midst of savages that have put most Yorubas people in harm's way on their land from Lagos to Ife!
The question is who drew the first blood in ile Ife?
I will support any retaliation action against any savage in Nigeria against Yorubas

neoOduduwa:
Violence is never a long-lasting recourse . I'm disgusted at some Yorùbá nairalanders thinking this will vindicate us from the coward-taunts of of our counterparts. We don't resort to violence to get some cheap plaudits, it unconventional of us. Yorùbás aren't cowards, never been cowards and will never be. We don't have to prove sh¡t to no one. Kudos to Aregbe for promoting peace.

neoOduduwa:
There are due procedures. There are laws in place. If they're savages, we must not deign to be the same. The fragility of this country can't be overemphasized as a civil war breakout is a no-no. An eye for an eye...

iwadobo:
This is what we called one Nigeria! The earlier we realised we are not one, the better for us. Have Ghanaians ever been killed like this ? Have Togolese ever been killed like this ? No. Why? Because they don't rival us in anyway. But as Nigerians, the Ibos see the hausa man as a rival, the Hausa man sees the Yoruba man as a rival and with any slight opportunity, one tribe always love to show superiority over the other . That is the source and root of the killing- internal rivalry. If we can't be one, please let's separate in peace. What we have now is not oneness but rivalry painted as oneness by greed

Hundreds of Hausas are reportedly leaving Ile-Ife, the ancestral home of the Yorubas, following a communal clash that left many dead and hundreds injured.

It is alleged that commercial buses have already flooded the town to pick the fleeing Northerners, as some are taking Ilesa route, while others are taking Akure route where they could get direct vehicles to the North. The early hours clash of Thursday March 9, 2017 between the Hausas and Yorubas, was sparked by an altercation between a Yoruba man and an Hausa man. The fight reportedly left at least five people dead.

Ille-Ipe Massacre: THE SILENCE FROM THE PRESIDENCY AND THE HYPOCRITE MEDIA IS WORRISOME

It is nowhere to be found on the cover pages of our National Newspapers, TV News Headlines, Twitter handles of our social activists and other acclaimed Human Right Organizations in the country, the Ille-Ife killings. One could say that it never exist, or it is just a mere concoction and a tale that the Hausa people living in Sabo Area of Ille-Ife are being mercilessly killed in a day broad light without any interception of the security agencies or a comprehensive media report on the incident.
I refuse to understand why the media is so unfair to us when it comes to the affairs of northerners, especially our religion Islam or something related to our tribe. It was not long ago that the Yunusa-Ese Saga received a wide media attention that was not worth it, but it sounds the northerners were blamed for the boy's actions. The Fulani Herdsmen clash in the Southern Kaduna has received not only the attention of the world, but the media exaggerates the actual figures recorded for the casualties. A lot of hashtags were introduced and one pastor instructed his churchmen to kill any Fulani man seen near their church. Is there any hash tag now for the ille-Ife killings? #stoptheilleifemassacre etc? Are not the Hausa people Nigerian? Don't we deserve your voices? Is it only when a southerner or a Christian is killed that your organizations really work?
The security agencies kept mum, likewise the presidency, the governors forum especially the Northern Governors Forum has said nothing about it, do you really care? Or do you want the unwished to happen? We always advocate for peace and we want allow peace to reign and we never preach for violence, but surely if the Government and stakeholders kept silent while our brethren's bloods is being shed, we guarantee nobody the existence of peace across our lands. What do you think will happen if Kano people or any other Northern state is to retaliate?They surely have relatives here around us, and it will not be that simple! God forbid and we don't hope that to happen!
The media should exonerates herself from this leveled mark we (the northerners) recorded for her, the injustice, selectiveness and biasness should be stopped. The security agencies especially the Nigerian Police should issue a statement to the world which condemns the killings and act immediately to prosecute anybody found guilty. The presidency should mourn with the families of the victims and assure the Nigerians that nothing of this such would ever happen again. The Osun State Government should call for a press conference, disown and condemn this heinous act, and assure the citizens of her state their safety. The wailing wailers selective Non-Governmental organizations should introduce hashtags and other means necessary that they use always when somethings is going against their favorite ones, else we refuse to concur with them in the future. Our traditional rulers should speak for us, as sometimes they speak on irrelevant issues that is not part of their responsibilities.
Lastly our collective bunch of back-benchers National Assembly members, those that benefit from being part of us, those that feel they represent us and we certainly knew they represent themselves should speak for us, or else they will take their bow and go in 2019!
