Who advises these Western Governors for goodness sake?

What free education devoid of knowledge will cause in SW is yet to come.

That law in itself sounds crazy. Why should they recruit someone just based on the fact that they’ve lived 20years in a locality.

So for example, if an herdsman lived in that particular community for 20years, he is entitled to be part of Amotekun too?

Just like the Miyetti Allah leader in Oyo that claimed he lived in Oyo state for several decades and even said he married a Yoruba. After all his utterances and provocations, this kind of law from Lagos means he also qualifies to be part of Amotekun right?

Are his taxes not used to pay salaries of the Amotekun...

Just tweak the clause a lil bit.

Simply say, Applicant must not be more than 18years at the time of application but must have lived in Lagos for more than 20years.. #Lobatan

I was going to like your post because it's true but for the 'yaribanzan' in it!
Yaribanzaonic:

The recommendation here is a subtle way of absorbing your Fulani masters into the scheme. Stop hailing a dirty picture and claiming it as a masterpiece. Absorption of other tribes into Amotekun isn't 'sagacity' its foolishness.

Will the North absorb outsiders NO!!
Will the other regions absorb outsiders NO!!

I used to think Yaribanzaa are had a little sense... but it's now confirmed that your brains are really EMPTY!!!!.

This Amotekun is useless.

You do realise with this, it becomes more subjective. You can't really have proof of being in Lagos for twenty years except you have properties in Lagos which will show how long you've owned it.
Citizenship on the other hand is easy to prove whether 7/10 years with a lot of identification means which were not available 20 years ago.
They could use birth certificate (not affidavit or sworn declaration of age), FSLC, WASSCE, work experience...maybe then properties/ a surety (councillor, HoA member, etc) combined.

Serious thrash. How do you even verify how long an outsider has stayed in your midst. Some Arabs were born in the USA and still didn't stop them from joining Alqaeda 20 yrs after to attack America. Very dumb move by Lagos.

He should go back to his region and country if he does not want his taxes, assuming he pays any, to be used for Amotekun without him joining.
Is it by force to stay with us and undermine our security, killing and kidnapping our folks

cuvox:
Kaduna state Governor Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has said his government has traced some violent, aggrieved Fulani to their countries and paid them to stop the killings of Southern Kaduna natives and the destruction of their communities saying that the renewed violence is carried out by bandits.

El-Rufai made this known while fielding questions from some select Journalists in his office in Kaduna.

He said: “For southern Kaduna, we didn’t understand what was going on and we decided to set up a committee under Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (rtd) to find out what was going on there. What was established was that the root of the problem has a history starting from the 2011 post election violence.

“Fulani herdsmen from across Africa bring their cattle down towards Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria. The moment the rains starts around March, April, they start moving them up to go back to their various communities and countries.

“Unfortunately, it was when they were moving up with their cattle across Southern Kaduna that the elections of 2011 took place and the crisis trapped some of them.

“Some of them were from Niger, Cameroon, Chad, Mali and Senegal. Fulanis are in 14 African countries and they traverse this country with the cattle.“So many of these people were killed, cattle lost and they organised themselves and came back to revenge.

Just when we thought we have found the magic pill, Yoruba are still sleepwalking the security issue. It looks like Yoruba are destined to be destroyed. I'm beginning to suspect some brain diminishing drugs must be in food from the north that only Yoruba eat like tatase. How can a people be this stuppid?

Why bother setting up Amotekun when you will still make room for others to be part of it. Because slave mentality is hardwired into Yoruba, even protecting ourselves needs permission from others. Some doofus even talked about constitution as if Hisbah and civilian Jtf are not in Nigeria.

What exactly is it going to take for Yoruba to stand up and say to Nigeria that we are going to protect ourselves our way or we are out of Nigeria and see who is going to stop them? What happened to negotiating from the position of strength? They have set the bar so low, it will be difficult to get anything out of this. Why is it taking this long? Oh the leaders are waiting for something to happen to help kill off half of Yoruba population before they can wake up and stop playing with their children's future.

To the Yoruba patriots looking to join the Amotekun, please make sure your own security is airtight, this is not worth dying for. Yoruba leaders are toddlers who don't know what they are doing.

The same my heart felt the moment I read the headline. This is an outfit of Yorubas for the Yorubas why employs non Yoruba that can speak Yoruba into into it. Soon the Fulani herdsmen that speak Yoruba will join the group and start feeding their ppl with information and secrets of the group.

I wonder if the Law makers have heads at all.

Everyone who wants to join must be made to collect letters from the Kings of their village. By so doing you will employ 100% genuine Yorubas .

Is this not a ploy by amotekun stakeholders to bend to the demand of miyeti Allah to include their members in the security outfit. I hope some backstabbers among Yoruba have not hijacked this amotekun This should be purely a Yoruba's security outfit.

This might sound "tribalistically" fantastic to exclude non-Yoruba from Lagos Amotekun. Such a multicultural state. Some people moved from other states at the age of 7 and are now 22 years old. Lagos is now his/her home. It's all he knows. Yet cannot join Amotekun.

SW should know they are officially setting a precedent, Because these are parliamentary acts. It might go down in history that SW was first to legally put barriers in the way of non-Yoruba from entering Amotekun. English is still the official language of Nigeria.

People may have forgotten that Zik's bad experience contesting in the Western region later harmed Nigeria as a whole. It meant Zik & Awo could never trust each other to work together in our interest. So they allowed Balewa & Bello to rule Nigeria.

I am not even talking of other SW states. Those states are not nearly as tolerant or diverse as Lagos.

I have them plenty in my village, the were born in Yoruba land. They speak Fluent Yoruba. Hardly would you know they are not Yoruba.

You should try and engage their wives that sell Wara and see how fluent their Yoruba is.

The LASG and indeed South west, must not be complacent there should be a clause that all people with Fulani blood, even if they speak Yoruba like Oduduwa himself, must be excluded from joining Amotekun (otherwise miyetti alah leaders wishes will be inadvertently granted), IPOD must also be excluded (we don't need Nnamdi kanu's million soldiers he must keep them for their biafra second war). It's necessary to avoid a situation where Fulani and IPOD proxies will infiltrate Amotekun AND CREATE MAYHEM AND WE'RE WORSE OF THAN WE STARTED, To be forewarned is to be fore-harmed. Ogun asotele kii pa aro. They must just stop watering down what supposed to be water tight. Amotekun is strictly a yoruba's affairs and must remain as such. Boko haram has been living for more than 20 years and speaks fluently the Kanuri does that qualify them to be part of the Borno vigilante? Don't be fooled there is nothing like a repentant killer as Buhari and his crooneys will want you to believe. A killer will still kill no matter what. Can you wash a pig clean and it will not be tempted to wallow in mud if it sees one?
