There are things I read or hear that leave me wondering whether to pause and die laughing or die crying. Monday’s Channels TV interview where a Miyetti Allah spokesperson tried to cause a wedge between Ndigbo and the Yoruba is one of such things.

That a man who, in the 21st century 2020, still goes about trekking with cows all over the bushes in the country, reportedly butchers innocent men, women and children in their sleep just so these cows can graze on the ancestral land of the deceased, a man whose part of the country has the highest number of out-of-school children (12 million), worst poverty rate, highest maternal mortality rate, highest illiteracy rate and the presence of two terrorist groups — Boko Haram and the killer herdsmen — once adjudged the deadliest and fourth deadliest terror group respectively by the Global Terror Index; plus a gang of rampaging bandits which has taken over most part of his own part of the country, and comes on TV to admit responsibility for the killings will come on national TV to use the term “primitive” on a people who had seen civilisation long before his own progenitors should get every reasonable person drunk with laughter. Mirthless laughter, I mean.

Let us even look at the politics of the Arewa. What is there to emulate in using gory displays of violence and mindless festival of blood to acquire and wield political power?

And to prove that the tired, worn-out, out of use analogue divide and rule tactic is the only thing they are good at, he tries to divide Southern consensus in support of Amotekun by reminding Ndigbo that during the last general election, they were stopped from voting their conscience in parts of Lagos by the Yoruba. He would have been right except he was wrong. The Yoruba never stopped Ndigbo from voting in any part of Lagos. It was the thugs of some prominent political actors who stopped Ndigbo from voting in some parts of Lagos. An individual’s action CANNOT be blamed on the Yoruba. So, the Miyetti Allah man should look for another card to play. This one has failed.

Again, he reminds Ndigbo that a certain Yoruba Oba threatened to drown them in the lagoon. True, he was right. The Oba made the threat which of course, wasn’t carried out. Now, let us assume that threat was made against Ndigbo by an assistant to an assistant to an Emir, would it have ended up an empty threat? Your guess is as good as mine.

We know the people who have value for human lives and we know those who are indifferent to the sanctity of human lives. We know the people who started spilling blood for as far back as 1945 when Nigeria hadn’t even gained her independence and has continued up to this moment.

Now, let us even come down to the main topic; Amotekun.

Below are some questions that not only require but demand answers:
Why is the Arewa North jittery that a section of the country has decided to set up an unarmed intelligence gathering regional security outfit? Why is the government using Miyetti Allah as a front to oppose Amotekun? Is this a confirmation that this group whose members are responsible for the death of thousands of innocent Nigerians is the militia wing of the Buhari regime? Why does Channel TV keep inviting Miyetti Allah — a Fulani group — to come and discuss Amotekun, a Yoruba regional security initiative?

I do not have answer to any of the above questions but I do know one thing for a fact; as long as the Muhammadu Buhari regime continues to look away from a known terrorist group that butchers innocent Nigerians just so their cows can feed, as long as it is okay to have armed Civilian JTF and Hisbah police in the North, as long as the Nigerian security agencies currently controlled by a section of the country continue to do little while rampaging herdsmen kill, maim and rape innocent Nigerians and take over their land for their cows, there will continue to be Amotekun , not only in the West but in the rest of the entire non-Caliphate part of the country.

A government that refuses to protect her citizens from a well-known terror group with an ethno-religious agenda has no right to stop them from protecting themselves.

Those who think Amotekun is about the Yoruba need to think again. It is about all of us. It is about our inalienable right to live as free humans without being butchered in our sleep and our land taken over by terrorists operating with government sponsored impunity.

Words on marble.

Miyetti Allah in its vociferous outbursts is simply saying the mind of the regime(after all they latter have defended their every atrocities) while MURIC is their regional attack dog.

miyetti dey on point here.


Yorubas want to cause problem in nigeria.

goodnessme1:

trying to defend themselves now is a problem?

this guy is just a clown

goodnessme1:

Pretty but dumb... smh

Whosoever that is the columnist of this article is dumb and dumb.

What the miyetti Allah spokesperson said was the truth and remains the truth.

Were Igbo voters not attacked in Lagos?

Did the Oba of Lagos said he will throw Igbos into the lagoon?

Whosoever that wrote this should be flogged. Both Yorubas and Hausa-fulani are same thing and I didn't see any reason someone will be trying to condemn the other and exonerate the latter.

Also, watch Solidarity rally for Operation Amotekun in Ibadan Oyo State. Lagos police prevented people from rallying in Lagos because Tinubu is not happy with Amotekun. Amotekun has come to stay in Yoruba land.

On point.
What the Miyetti Allah spokesperson said is the pure truth.

Also, Yoruba governors meeting with the Federal Government is that, Amotekun has come to stay and Malami agreed with no
objection.
Attorney General Malami said he was misquoted by the media. He didn't declare Amotekun illegal. He only advised
that there should be a legal framework for its operation Oduduwa wins.
Yorubas said Amotekun has come to stay in Yoruba land.
