Oga there is no region in the south that doesn’t want to go their way or secede. But cowardice n fear have made the sw n ss keep quiet. Only the igbos are courageous enough to voice out their wish.

If you read up a book or newspaper archives on each region from 1946 up to this period, you will see that the ideologies of each ethnic group hasn’t changed much.

But one thing changed, the innovative ability of the Yoruba politicians was lost after the death of Awolowo. The Western region used to be the pioneer of policies and other region most times follow the template of the SW ideas.

Now with this Amotekun, the SW governors are bringing back the innovative glory of the Yorubas and other regions are following that template which is a good thing for Nigeria as a whole.

There are still a lot of innovative but yet developmental projects the SW governors can collaborate on irrespective of party affiliation to put the region back in its spot as the pacesetter.
You're right everything changed after the demise of papa awo. Tinubu came with a divided idea and destroyed everything. He's the reason for the split of our elders till date. He has amassed so much wealth in a greedy form that, he thinks he can have his way with it. But thank goodness. His money and personality are fast becoming irrelevant now. You can't hear him speak where our elders are speaking anymore.

Did you see Tinubu at the launch of the amotekun that day? He used to be an advocate of restructuring but the moment he joined apc he, became a lame duck. We have always been agitating for state policing but the north and their leaders have always been opposed to it for their selfish reasons. Now that our region has become so vulnerable to all manners of criminal activities amotekun was launched to checkmate them, since the federal government has failed in securing lives of our people as they do all over the country, our governors had to devise this means, shunning their political differences and that's yoruba leaders for you, always united to achieve a common goal

I read yesterday where a northern group still criticised the amotekun thing , calling Buhari to stop the move whereas, they're the ones who need it the most. It's a good move to protect our people from attacks since the federal government out of their selfish minds kicked against state policing. Our governors first started by deploying police along the Ogun-Ondo-Benin-ore highway a few months ago and I think they're still there. They sent them out of their various barracks with handsome allowance and mounted them at each kilometre in that axis. That's why people could travel on that road without any attacks during festive period, up till now

yes and amotekun is the first smart move and that's why a northern group criticised it yesterday. Amotekun would remain for a long time. Watch what happens in coming days. It would be strengthened and well funded. That's our own form of state policing .They're always afraid whenever SW comes with an idea that would benefit only our people. They're afraid of leaving.

Very soon South East will copy, followed by South South and followed by Middle belt. Gradually they are establishing ethnic armed militias that would help fight the impending civil war.

SS will not form one in unison, the language and ethnic barrier will not allow that and it's not advisable for them to form one they need locals for the job unless it will become like the federal police

This is a ploy by the FG to dismantle it. The NW will start it and the FG will now come in and tell us that they want to strengthen the military and Para military units so such local forces are not needed.


If the SW cry out they will point at the NW as another region that has the outfit but it was dismantled also.
no sir. It's a thing of choice. What our leaders are doing is backed by the constitution. If the NW drops the idea after adopting it to jeopardise our arrangement, its their wahala. they're on their own

We like to complicate easy things in Nigeria. Why are we afraid of restructuring? Instead of creating Amotekun rubbish, state Governors should plan with their Senators and force a National conference where we will demystify this ruling from the centre system. Each 774 LGA should be like a country on its own. That is, have their own Police Dept, generate, transmit and distribute their own power instead of National Grid nonsense that we are practising now, create their own economic model, generate their own revenue from their resources, and even make their own laws based on their culture/religion/beliefs.

I predict Amotekun will be abused like then OPC. People will be using Amotekun Police to arrest their enemies. Amotekun police will eat food in the restaurant and will not pay. God help you and you want to jilt Amotekun police daughter.
Restructuring is not as easy as you type it here, and mind you don't be pessimistic about something always be optimistic about things and have it in your mind that if things turn out to be good you will benefit from it. If they succeed from this and all region follow another region will come up with another idea before you know it the FG will have no choice but to restructure the nation

Everybody knew the culpability of Buhari in the book haram and Fulani banditry's insecurity challenge confronting Nigeria, most esp the North. And that's why he never approved or even talked about the restructuring people are clamouring for. I'm not surprised this is coming from his home state's Governor. The governors as well as the chief security officer of their states knew they couldn't do anything to solve their people's problems under the security architecture of present day Nigeria but they are always afraid to cross buhari's path because "he who must come to equity, must do with clean hands". We must give kudos to the south west governors for setting the pace. Local policing is always the solution to local security challenges.
So in your mind you think Buhari can just wake up one day and restructure this country? Restructuring is not all about Buhari. And stop all this Buhari is behind the terror things going on in Nigeria, if he's behind it he won't give order to army to start killing them. When Jonathan and Dasuki don't empower the army force do we now say is Jonathan that is behind it? Stop listening to those politicians and press being pays to destabilize the peace of this country. Boko Haram are not only terrorizing Nigeria.

Restructuring isnt about noise making,.. slowly before their eyes we shall restructure even without fighting or arguing

I wish you guys can quit the stupid dick measuring here and let's watch what the fulani government will do next.

As you can see, even though the ONSA approved it, it seems they are regretting the action especially now that other zones are clamouring for theirs.

If they should refuse any zone from having theirs, we will all be back to square one as Amotoekun will be proscribed.

Therefore, you online miscreants should stop the chest-beating, war mongering and senseless arrogance so as not to offend the Masters into thinking Amotoekun is a restructuring or secession agenda and thereby ban it.

You are right. To be honest, I want it to succeed but our precedents of OPC, Bakassi are saying otherwise. Most of our security agencies don't know how to relate to each other. So, the more we create more agencies, the more our security architecture get more complicated. I have seen Police and Army conflicts several times. Can you imagine that Police force wanted to carry out an arrest of a notorious Kidnapper in the middle of the night and the Military base in that state said they are not aware? The 3 Policemen that carried out the exercise were killed by Soldiers.
Restructuring is very easy. We have a prototype to follow. It has worked before for us and it's working in many advanced countries. It will make people think. Every LGA in Nigeria is blessed. You will be surprised that LGA without Natural resources may perform better than LGA with Natural resources.

why do you sound scared? Amotekun as all the aproval it needs, it isnt targeted at any tribe but criminals.. and stating the fact about slowly restructuring without a fight isnt dick measuring contest (although i am quite sure half my length and girth is enough to fill you up and give you mind blowing Orgasm)

Now lets get serious.. restructuring means devolution of powers, and SouthWest is trying to do just that, FG already transfered Federal asset like Oshodi - Airport, Sango Ota - Lagos road, Ondo -Ekiti road, Surulere stadium, Lagos Trade fair and many other strategic assets to SouthWestern Government, slowly we have our own Secuirity aparatus that are lisenced to bare arms so if you look at it holistically DAWN commision is sneakishly getting things restructured without noise while others look on

So what is stopping the restructuring?

Have you also noticed that these guys up North becomes powerless against any united voice? If it were just one state that carried out this plan among the South West states, you would have seen a different narrative but when it appear all states in the south west keyed into it, they know they can not do anything.

This same thing played out during the RUGA plan. Because the entire South and Middle belt spoke in one voice, they buried the plan and yet, some people feel the North is so power? I think only power against a divided section.

If Afenifere can just keep their mouth shut and support Tinubu we will be alright in 2023. There’s no way the amatekun concept is the idea of the SW governors alone, Yoruba elders are fully aware. You say a lot with your mouth closed. That’s why they will always see Yoruba as backstabbers. We know what the north are capable of, the whole Nigeria knows what the SS and SE are capable of but ask them what’s Yoruba next move they don’t know. This things take time because change is slow. BAT is a big inspiration to me. I can’t wait for him to become our next darling president.
