Ooni of Ife Speaks from Aso Rock...

“How to improve security. I came to speak on behalf of other traditional rulers. The issue at hand in the south west is real. The issue of insecurity, we that live in the remote and rural areas of the south western part of the country, most of the bushes are occupied by strange people am we decided to work with the government to fish them out.

“Everybody is beating the drum of war, we don’t want war, who can stand war, we want something better for our youths. We should better use them for something good other than shouting war and anarchy. We don’t want that. We told the President that and he is on the same page with us.

"Politicians should be careful not to throw things out of proportion.

“We should make sure things are right and the President has given good directives to security chiefs including the IG to visit all traditional institutions in the south west. We shouldn’t keep over hyping war and we still want to keep the peace in the south west. We don’t want anarchy.”

“What is important is for the youths not to take laws into their hands, killing and causing violence. The drums of war is resonating loud and we are very worried. We need more federal apparatus to defend ourselves. Reinforcement from federal government.

“We understand more than anybody. We don’t want war and we want to work with Government to bring peace... We are not saying Fulanis are bad, it’s about the bad guys working under the name of Fulanis...... "

Nice one oni however, i blame the president. I am his biggest fan but i blame him for everything.

The president became docile at some point in
periods he would have be decisive. Times he he
would have acted on this clashes and he failed.
Times he would have Dealt with riffrafs like the
crackheads FFK and RENO who were and have
been FANNING the embers of hate. The list goon.
Up till this minute, no one answered for any fake news most recently the international pasport lies.


I do not know if it s because he pririotize BOKO
HARAM fight ahead of other security challenges
that made this look like this.
In all, It s an F9 for him at this point in time on
SECURITY

War will consume whoever is fueling it.

Not only should they be careful,they should also be minful of their speech,especially the illiterate and barbaric fulanis.

I don't think anybody is Afraid of War

We all die someday anyways

I have thought about it though and death is a debt we all have to pay

But why fight.... Since we can go our separate ways or create state or regional police to secure our zones...

Some times peace is not required to calm a situation down, instead your enemy will take you for a coward.

“..............What is important is for the youths not to take laws into their hands, killing and causing violence. The drums of war is resonating loud and we are very worried.We need more federal apparatus to defend ourselves.Reinforcement from federal government

Guess it was this same Oni that told Yorubas to defend themselves against the Fulanis beating the drums of war that is now again calling on the Fulani loving FG for protection?

Why is the Oni not directing his speech to the Arewe Youth, CNG, ACF, northern elites that have consistently continued to threaten, invade communities, maim, kill & shed blood of innocent Nigerians with any challenge from the govt of the day.Continue to wallow in the hypocrisy.
