Southwest The Most Hostile And Volatile Region, SW A Peaceful Myth by Coolitempq: 10:45pm On Apr 03, 2017
The tale about South west being the most hospitable and investment friendly region in the country is false and have always been a myth better still a SW pipe dream, the real truth is South west is the most hostile and volatile region in the country with the north east and north west taking the second and third position respectively.

It should however be noted that the SW have continually escaped the tag of the reality and truth of being the most hostile region because the north have always been collectively grouped together as far as hostile regions are concerned in the federation, but grouping it individually by regions in the federation it will be clear to see that the SW have recorded more ethnic, religious, tribal and political confrontations than any other region in the federation since 1999.

It should also be noted that the SW tend to show their hostile nature more when one of their own is in power as we can infer from the inception of democracy in 1999. President Olusegun Obasanjo administration from the year 1999-2007 saw more ethnic, tribal, and political crisis in the SW and Nigeria than any other time in Nigeria's history apart from event that led to the civil war and the civil war in it self, which the celebrated genocide was spare headed by a SWner.

Nigerians are quick to forget events so here is a recount of some of the famous crisis from 1999-2007 Alaba traders vs Opc, Oduade traders vs Opc, Ladipo traders vs Opc, Ijaw vs Opc, Police vs Opc, Mushin fracas, Ojo crisis, Okoko crisis, Mile 2 crisis, Mile 12 crisis, Yoruba vs Hausa Fulani. These events were recurrent at least every three month but the SWner's were always cut to size in their own fights, that's why they didn't sing about them like they did with the Ife vs Hausa Fulani crisis. They have been more ethnic related crisis in the SW than any other region in the federation.

It should be noted that the SW have attacked every business district and markets of non SW ethnicities in the SW from the Igbo's, Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw etc through direct aggression, confrontation and violence or through direct involvement of their government, it should be noted that no other region have recorded this level of aggression on inhabitants doing legitimate business in their region, the South west sees it as a threat when other ethnicities have thriving businesses in their region.

The latest crisis Ife vs Hausa Fulani, we can see how Yorubas have been very vocal about it because the manage to score cheap victory with the genocide that was carried out in their backyard against the Northerners you see them throwing words and threatening fire and brimstone for an unfair confrontation that can be said to be in the ration of 10-1000 for the Hausas and Yorubas respectively, next time we rate the most hostile region let us be sane to see the north as 3 regions making the north and and rate them as NE, NW and NC as we do to the South.

Good Efforts.
Quite painstaking effort.
However, I will advise you do a sequel listing the social disturbances in the other 5 regions for the period covered in this writeup.
It will make for a more objective piece.
Looking forward to reading from you

Sponsored rubbish, prelude to the plan of the Northerners to unleash mayhem in the Southwest. Unfortunately for them, this will be the final conflict that will bring the delayed Armageddon upon the genocidal Fulani Empire. Whatever conflict they ignite will be fought completely on their own turf - the far North.

You cannot disturb the peace of the children of Oduduwa without far-reaching, maybe even permanent consequences.

The same way most of the crisis in the north are in either Kano, Kaduna, Or Bornu. I was only trying to keep the thread short if am to include event from other SW states NLders will not read through to the end. You seem to forget Hausa Yoruba conflict in Oyo over sale of beans, and another over sale of meat, you also forget the flogging of A Igbo chief Ekiti state, you also forget Opc vs ijaw crisis in Ogun state, you forget the Hausa vs Yoruba in Ife, Ijaw vs Yorubas in Ondo, the list is just endless.

As for Boko haram, The northerners could also argue that no ritual killing in the north.

God bless Yoruba land

Any tribe that feels they can wake up and start killing Yorubas in their state\region shall receive the shock of their life
Were have a lot of northerners,easterners and Niger deltans living in the south West,so violence will be replied with violence,go to ogun,Oyo and see how Hausa and ibo full there grin

I am glad that you are corroborating the fact that these events happened, the question is not what the sitting president or governor did to stop these hostilities. The real question here is how far the SWner's are willing to go in their hostile nature when one of their own is in power and how the volatile nature of the SW is going to be disastrous for foreign investors and investment of other ethnic nationals in the region.

That takes us back to the purpose of this thread SW is the most hostile and volatile region in the country.

Media propaganda has its limits. If you doubt me please go and ask Buhari.

It time Yorubas stop media propaganda and start solving real issues plaguing them. This whole tolerance and accommodating myth has to stop. The evidence against that myth is piling daily.

The same thing happened with education but now look at the statistics for the past 2 decades.

Igbos may have all their flaws but one thing about them that I like is that they tell themselves the bitter truth. This forces them to work to compete and improve.

Yorubas on the other hand tend to hide their flaws then use media propaganda to brainwash the masses. That won't work anymore.

All these hypocritical Igbos always jealous of Yorubas. If Yorubas fail to defend themselves you will call them cowards now they are defending themselves you still find something to say.

We have problem with 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria;

1. Igbos: They never respect their host which has been proven in different countries all over the world,they claim their host is always jealous of their success. Evident in Ghana, SA, India, Malaysia,Singapore,Indonesia etc. they flaunt rules and laws of the land and when they are been dealt with they claim their host is Jealous of their success.

2. Ijaws: This tribe is known to think only them own Oil in Nigeria and so will always want to override their host by claiming the Oil rich area is their land. They are also known to forment trouble anywhere there is Oil through Militancy.

3. Hausa-Fulani : They feel they own every single inch of Nigeria and so will even fight you over your own ancestral land by allowing their cattles to eat up your crops.
This tribe is also very religiously intolerant and barbaric and don't mind killing anybody on their own land.

Aside these 3 trouble making tribes I do not think the Peace loving Yorubas have problem with any other tribe in Nigeria because the other tribes too are peace loving which doesn't conote cowardice.

it's only in SW yorubas you will see people planning not to rent house to anybody from a particular section of Nigeria. SW Yorubas are as Xenophobic as South Africans. They're full of hate.

In fairness to the people of the SW the violent antagonism towards people of other tribes is a Tinubu creation and brainchild since he became governor in 1999 and now owner of Lagos. For example if you check well relations between Igbos and Yorubas deteriorated since the Alaba murders of Igbos by OPC while he was governor and a big godfather of Gani Adams. Tinubu is the reason why the South is divided today.

So after reading the post this is all you can come up with I wanted to ignore comments on this thread and let those who live in Lagos and SW give accounts but after seeing the Yorubas crying on this thread and throwing curse words on the op instead or correcting or asserting any lies therein but because they have been ridiculed with pure truths and undiluted facts the resort to insults well that won't save them on this thread.

Is it not shameful that the Yorubas resort to using propaganda to survive in the 21st century and in this digital age, is it not funny that the Yorubas accuse every other person of what they are guilty of but themselves, see the level of emotional cries on this thread tomorrow they will say Igbo are the emotional characters when it is clear if you reside in Lagos or any SW state that the Yorubas are overtly emotional.

Is it not shameful that the SW is the most hostile region in the federation with xenophobic tendencies but chose to live under the illusion that they are the most accommodating region and even use the media to propagate such blatant lies against all the odds, is it not shameful that the SW have fallen a distance last position on all indices in the south and use media to promote lies and falsehood to their youths.

A lie remains a lie even in the heart of the lair, so the Yorubas will always be hunted by their own lies as more will keep getting exposed on the daily.
