Buhari has always been stupid.?
Who would have thought?
I thought igbos just hate him for nothing.

If una do anyhow, una go see anyhow.

Overnight activists.

Igbo and Yoruba have no problem with each other. We all call this Aboki's stupid but they are always winning over us that thinks we are intelligent. They know how to cause differences between Igbo and Yoruba. They also know how to cause differences between Igbos internally and within Yoruba internally. So, when you keep fighting each other like this know that you are just playing according to there plans and you are letting them take the win...
The Presidency in 2023 is supposed to go to the Igbo's in all fairness. I believe most of us know that even if we don't always feel like accepting. By the way, am a proud Yoruba and also a Nigerian and i hope someday we all can be fair with each other to grow.

Amotekun is the moving train ...no Jupiter can stop it's formation and activity .. our people can't farm,travel or go to there businesses kos or the fear of been killed kidnapped and raped by some uncircumcised fools.. we are Yoruba's before APC, ADP PDP or APM... our collective unity against the marauding herdsmen all send a message to there warlords and elders that the south West isnt there domain to toy and rade as usual anymore... we can do it again... Yoruba land belongs to the Yorubas and anyone that wanna do legitimate business here...

You and Buhari are very inconsequential in Yoruba affairs. grin
Tell him please...that to hell with their presidency threat. Even when we were in power, we never benefited from the so called presidency. They keep occupying our political space with their fake figures. We asked for another sensor, they said no, we asked for state policing, they said no meanwhile, nigerians allowed the hisbah to thrive up north. Okay, we agitated for restructuring and they said no way! On amotekun we stand.

AMOTEKUN is a brilliant initiative but some people are afraid because their hands are not clean.Miyetti Allah leader described Yoruba as irredentists and also highly educated but politically primitive on Channel TV during interview but the same Yoruba made Buhari's dream of becoming a civilian president came true in 2015 with alliance of AC and ANPP.It seems Myetti Allah leader doesn't know the difference between primitivity and modernity.And again to refer to Yoruba as irredentists clearly showed that he has completely lost his frame of mind.

The reason I don’t support Amotekun

Anyone that grew up in the ghettos of Lagos will remember that OPC reigned supreme during the 90’s - early 00s and also butchered yorubas indiscriminately on the flimsiest of accusation.

I vividly remember the charred bodies of young men that lined up our streets almost every day and would remain there for weeks until it either goes back to the earth or is picked up by the relevant agencies.

I remember the OPC traffic stops where they’d have people disembark from the danfo and proceed to separate non-yorubas. Some get accused of being “armed robbers” which is an instant death sentence.

I remember the murder of my friend. He was a humble barber and street kid just like me. I came back from my car wash hussle to learn he was murdered by OPC after his landlord accused him of being an armed robber.
He dragged out of his house in the mid day, beaten to stupor and then set ablaze. His properties were looted and the remnants discarded.

I remember these things vividly.
While Amotekun is a good idea, what are the checks and balances to ensure they do not devolve into the immoral and wicked acts of the state sponsored OPC in the 90s.

I know I’ll get insulted for this but this is my true life story in the ghettos of Lagos. Amotekun is a NO for me unless there are sufficient checks and balances.

Who do we report to if there happens to be abuse of authority?

What are the checks and balances to ensure erring members are severely punished?

What trainings do the undergo to be able to deal with people professional and discharge their duties adequately?

Until there is a solid guideline on Amotekun, this is an effort that will lead to further abuse and oppression of the Nigerian people. If your family member has been kidnapped before you,am sure you would have supported this laudable concept . Those who have lost money and family members to criminals & those who never want to lose any are 100% in support

So,Miyetti Allah finally came out of their shell to call names.Their first shot today,on Channels TV,was to call the yorubas "primitive in terms of politics despite their education".Asked further why they r so afraid of Amotekum,response was:"this ethnic militias set up by these irresponsible people will destabilise the country".To imagine that we r cohabiting with these kind of human beings,there is trouble oooo.

God bless you for being honest.


I am Igbo, and I have uncountable Igbo friends both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria, and everyone of us support Yorubas on this Amotekun outfit....what we are even asking is when Southeast Governors will kick off theirs, and honestly now ought to have been the best time for Southeast and even Southsouth Governors to also inaugurate their own regional local security like Amotekun, and let's see how Fulanis will be able to succeed in using Nigerian Police+Military+DSS to suppress both Southwest, Southeast and Southsouth at the same time.....which may mark the end of Nigeria's existence as one nation.


I am really angry they removed Emeka Ihedioha, we would have pitched the idea to him to ginger other SE Governors to launch theirs now that it is hot and lets see what Hausa-Fulanis can do!!


What nonsense are the Fulanis doing in Nigeria!!! angry angry


Igbos are solidly behind Yorubas on this....we may disagree on some political issues, but Igbos are not killers or land grabbers....all Igbos are asking for is equity and equal treatment of all Nigerian tribes and religion.....and for everyone to live happily and succeed in their chosen field

AMOTEKUN & THE STAND OF EDUCATED ILLITERATES -copied

Apparently we attend school for certificates in the south, not for knowledge. I am so disappointed in the ongoing Amotekun debate. There is no basis for it occupying our national discuss. No basis.

We operate a "constitutional democracy".
If you are confused, simply go back to the grundnum - The 1999 Constitution. There are three tiers of government established and recognised by that book. Federal, state and local government. Each saddled with its responsibilities. The crux of that responsibilities being the welfare of citizens.

No law passed by any of these tiers is illegal as long as it conform with the spirit and letters of the constitution.

The problem with this Amotekun contraption is that no government has a law on it. None.
Secondly the body setting it up is not a government and certainly is not recognised in the constitution We don't have a regional government in Nigeria.

My chagrin is that there is hardly a family in the south without a college or university graduate.
Yet we failed when it mattered most.
The "highly illiterate northerners" read and understood the constitution.

Though the north are predominantly Muslim with sharia laws entrenched in the constitution, they practice same with the dictate of the constitution. Every state maintain its borders and limits. No Kano Hisbah can arrest an accuse in say Zaria or Dutse.
And vise versa.

On the Amotekun, if it was not lead by power mongers like Gani Adams, you expect each state to pass the enabling laws. Set up their commands and stay within their boundaries. But, no.They want to set up an outfit to gift unconstitutional powers to their new Aare onakankanfo.

This can NEVER happen. It will never work. Set up your neighborhood watches. Do whatever you want. But a regional armed force is a complete NO. We won't go this way again.
Use your learning well for once. Stop embarrassing us.
