The Omoluabi concept in Yoruba philosophy is about upholding truth, justice and uprightness of conduct.

There are instances when a confrontation is self-provoked. There are other times when a confrontation is deliberate act of impunity and injustice.

If Yoruba was in power Kanu will not be going through this flagrant abuse. Kanu does not own Iboland. The indigenes own the land. Why is FG occupying and terrorizing indigenes over their land? This is sheer human right abuse, no other way to candy coat it.

Lets even assume that Kanu should be arrested to preempt trouble. Isnt that police job? Why deploy a battalion to arrest one man?


The agenda and the theater of show of force is a proactive calculation towards a much bigger goal. They are using Kanu to rehearse and polish the process. It will be the turn of another twon soon. They want to turn South into a hot zone and kill off the debate and talks on restructure.

When bullets are flying and soldiers are conducting house to house search in Ilorin, Ife, Iseyin, Ondo, Benin, Warri, Yenagoa, Asaba, Awka, Umuahia, Owerri....who will have time and mind to speak in favor of restructure? Nobody!


Silence over this matter in Iboland is totally unacceptable. It is repulsive....this is cruelty!
Not Now!

Not This... undecided undecided undecided

Mainstream Nigeria must stand up for self preservation against tyranny of the minority with majority rule.

The present incursion of boots, guns and machineries in Igboland is an insult and effrontery to all Southerners.

This is the same tactic of divide and eliminate we have seen with Fulani attacks. They attack Gboko today, Akure, Aba, Benin and Sapele are silent.

They attack Akure next week, Gboko, Aba, Benin and Sapele are quiet.

The week after they attack Oron, people in Asaba, Port Harcourt,Gboko and Akure and Awka keep quiet.

Gradually, fulani, a minority, has systematically enshrined itself as a parallel army and turned every part of Southern and Middlebelt Nigeria to its roaming domain to perpetuate any atrocity it deems fit whenever it suits a political agenda.

If Akure, Benin, Aba, Sapele, Oron, Awka, Asaba had all spoken up and took reprisal action in support of Gboko, fulani would have been trained to accept that Southern Nigeria will not submit to its political agenda and it will be force for force on any assault. But what we did instead is get on newspaper and condemn and warn. Even when the warning and condemnation had no effect, year after year...we still warn and condemn.

So it has come to this. Now Army is in Umuahia, Ibadan, Benin, Port Harcourt, Awka, all are silent.

Tomorrow Army will use the fulani model and move to Ibadan, the rest wil be silent.

After that Army is in Gboko, ...we are all condemning and warning still.

Pretty soon all over South is turned to occupied land. Fulani rulers in Aso will then have a easy path, with the coopt of Army to truly turn all our lands into Fulani grazing zone.

Ten years from now we will still be warning and condemning.

Has there ever been an incidence of any Southern ethnic group causing riot in North and killing people in bloodshed they way they Northerners do in South? Never!


All should rise up and troop to the street and demand immediate expulsion of all Army occupation anywhere in South. We sustain the North. The oil from South and the ports in South, without these the North will be like Chad, poor and wretched.

We are the mainstream. There is no country in world where mainstream is held hostage and battered by the minority voice. Nigerian's case is an exception and a cowardly response.

Shame to South! I do not ever want to hear another Southerner brandish his degree and phd in my face...I will curse him out.

While I find your principled stance on this issue admirable, what do you do when the people on whose behalf you want to take such a stand insist on insulting you for it, just like a certain troll on this thread has done several times now? Why play the martyr for idiots who can never see anything positive in anything done by anyone Yoruba?

No matter how well-intentioned you are, you can't force help on people who don't want to be helped, and who are so eaten up by envy and hatred that they feel compelled to call you a "coward" even on a thread which is all about taking a stand on their behalf. It seems like a waste of energy to me to be sticking up for principles on behalf of those who are intent on making enemies of everyone, even those - or, rather, particularly those - who extend their hands in friendship.

Wetin concern yoruba again? Please leave me alone and lemme enjoy my sleep cool

Yorubas always trying to play republican. When have diabolical Ibos spoken against Yoruba marginalization?

Wrong! I think this actuall directly concerns Yoruba more than any other group. Just like us, Igbos are a majority group in Nigeria, and southern Nigeria to be precise. A systematic attack of this type on Igbos sends a message to Yorubas that should the Fulanis decide to silence us, nobody can stop them. I know that Igbos are not our friends per se, but our mutual interests in this union is unfortunately tied to the same issue. We must rise up to fight this attack on freedom of speech and association with the same (or greater) vigor that we use to condemn Kanu's hate speech and constant insult.

Emotions aside, Op's point is quite clear and I can only but agree with it 100%

You are smart to see that the real motive is to kill off the agitation for Restructuring


Kanu has finally awoken the urge for Restructuring in the minds of every freedom loving Yoruba which has sent fear into the hearts of Hausa Fulani people that the South is uniting in their demand for Restructuring


They believe if they kill Kanu, that Yorubas will keep quiet


Unfortunately for them, this crisis will escalate to a full blown war which will stir up every ethnic group to demand Restructuring or Disintegration

Deeply felt principles are above such pettiness. You either have the integrity to stand up for what you believe or you don't. The infantile posts of internet keyboard warriors should hardly be the basis on which you build your opinions. Your post encapsulates the problems of the Nigerian South and why despite all the worthless Phd's, those Northern "illiterates" show the political savvy that eludes us.

I'm sorry to say this but any Yoruba that carry Igbo matter for head is on his own.
The last time I checked, Yorubas have played the role of opposition since the creation of this country.
Our noisy neighbors have not even played up to three years and it's been shedding of crocodile tears all the way.
What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander, let them go and play opposition and stop crying.
Igbos are on their own, playing their own kind of opposition, what ever happen to them is not Yorubas business.
Any Yoruba who chooses to stick his or her nose into Igbo business, deserves to have both the nose and the head smashed into pieces.

See mumu talk o. Ok fine. At least you mentioned two Yoruba men who you called "cream of the civilized blah blah blah" Because they fought the cause of the Igbos, now mention just one Igbo that fought for the cause of any other tribe in Nigeria, not even for the Yorubas.

I see you're beating that torn drum of "Yorubas are cowards" that your parents told you. Do yourself a favour, go and meet your elders in the village and ask them to list the names of political and human rights activists this country has ever produced since independence and then ask yourself where are the Igbo names.

Gbam!! sad When some of us from minority groups were begging them back then to stop the hate speech, and build bridges across the ethnic divide, they insulted us and our ancestors. sad When they were drawing their Biafran map, and annexing some of our homelands into their enclave by subterfuge, we protested and they lampooned us calling us unprintable names. undecided Bros, no vex. Your people can help if they want to do so, but I trust my own people, we shall siddon dey look and mind our own business, jejely! Many of our kinsmen learnt huge lessons, from what happened in 1967.
