Fani Kayode Bags Igbo Title For Leadership Of Southern Nigeria by Nobody: 4:38am On May 03, 2017
Our quest to bring unity to the Southern parts of Nigeria in the face of serious threats like ‘grazing reserve’ has received a boost following Yoruba leader Femi Fani Kayode’s revelation that he has received an Igbo traditional title in recognition of his thought leadership and fearless agitation for the welfare and interests of the entire Southern Nigeria.

Speaking during his recent meeting with Biafran pro independence leader Nnamdi KANU, Femi Fani Kayode, who has been raising the awareness of the South on unjust attempts to impose grazing reserves on their ancestral lands, disclosed that he already has the titles of “Odumagu” of the South which means ‘Lion Tiger of the South’ and also the “Odogunaga”, which means ‘The Courageous One Who Marches Forward’.

We will from now on refer to Fani Kayode by his Southern leadership title, ‘Odumagu’, as we believe he has earned it.

Odumagu Fani Kayode's fearlessness reminds one of Ojukwu The Great. Like The Odumagu or hate him, you cannot deny the fact that he has fought for Southern Nigeria in the face of this grazing reserve issue where some people want to introduce 'grazing reserves' instead of commercial cattle ranches set up with land bought from willing (not forced) sellers from the South.

Odumagu Fani Kayode is surely building a legacy founded on speaking truth to power. The way Fani Kayode is going, history will surely remember him kindly as one of those Southern human rights leaders who stopped 'grazing reserves' on its tracks.

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delt a State has also joined the ranks with his efforts to put a Fayose-style law to prevent grazing reserves in Delta State. The South is surely uniting behind a unity of purpose.

Gone are the days when opposition to 'grazing reserves' was confined to online human rights activists from the South. Our political leaders have heard us loud and clear, and are now in the forefront. #YesToCommercialRanching #NoToGrazingReserve

Fani Kayode a Yoruba leader or a Yoruba tout?

I am sure not even his household will be deceived to believing the agbero is a Yoruba leader.

If agitating peacefuly for the God-given rights of one's people means one is a tout, then let him proudly be one.

Fani Kayode is a principled fighter who doesn't care if you are the leader of APC or his political colleague in the PDP. If he believes President Buhari is being unfairly treated tommorow, he will raise his voice in Buhari's defence. If he believes rightly or wrongly that you are being unjustly treated he will talk. And when he talks, sensible ones listen.

Odumagu Fani Kayode believes in speaking truth to power, and the South appreciates his services. Even Southern Kaduna appreciates him. He is a correct Omoluabi.

Right now we can regard FFK as a useful idiot but his antecedents show that the dude is clearly mentally unbalanced. For god's sake this is an aviation minister that alleged that evil spirits were responsible for plane crashes.

I think we should get real.

That was an innacurate depiction of the man. All the arrests he has faces have not stopped him from singing the same song: 'Let there be dignity of life for Southern Nigeria'. And guess what, millions of Southern Nigerians like that song.' If Buhari is being unjustly treated tommorow, the same Fani Kayode would sing for his freedom.

FFK is an advocate for sexual liaisons with Igbo women.

He's made reference to it in the past a la bianca.

Forgive my quick response, Sire. Was only trying to point out that he is very likely to have been quoted out of context. Platonic relations between the two sexes remains reality, even today.

Re: Fani Kayode Bags Igbo Title For Leadership Of Southern Nigeria by GavelSlam: 6:28am On May 03, 2017
I'm wondering how much of the Igbo customs and traditions he respects and honours.

For instance, the celebration of marriage with the kindred and paying of bride price to the family of his partner.
How this is overlooked in Ndigbo whilst conferring a traditional title is slightly befuddling.

A woman does not define, just like my sister can not be living with a man and a have a child with him without him having paid her dowry and still wants us to accept that she is a married woman.......Tradition defines! Unless FFK paid her dowry without it reaching the social media! cheesy

The Yoruba culture is fully behind Bride price. So I see no reason why he wouldn't have paid. But there are people who don't care much for tradition or religion...

Tradition is important. Even some Oyinbos married to Nigerian women felt happy coming down to marry their wives traditionally​.

Bride price knots families and generations, even the Bible do not frown against it.

You are igbo defender, don't give the impression that in igbo culture there is nothing wrong living with an igbo woman that the man has not paid dowry on....Can you boldly address such a man as "ogo" (in-law).

You don't claim to identify with a people, you don't respect their values.

With or without succession, it's win win situation for the Yoruba nation, as it now, some of our outcasts like Fani Kayode and Ayo Fayose will be the supreme leaders in their biafra republic.
