LASTMA, LAWMA and co have negligible number of non-Yorubas in their employ.

Amotekun in Lagos can be likewise. It doesn't change anything.

Any non-Yoruba joining Amotekun will have to go through the Yoruba traditional "recruitment process"... grin It's foolproof... grin No shaking... grin

It doesn't really matter! It should be an all Yoruba affair no matter what other tribes say and the fact that we are even talking about this right now shows Yoruba to be in a very dangerous place in history.

You have no idea of what the murderous fulanis are capable of doing. That clause will mess up the whole essence of Amotekun if it is not removed.
Re: "You Can Join Amotekun If You Have Spent 20 Years In Lagos & Speak Yoruba" by baysol: 9:02am On Mar 03, 2020
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?

The constitution forbids discrimination so they need to be wise..
Besides amotekun will have cleaners and cooks .
If they employ and say your job is to cut grass,feed pigs or wash toilet if you don't like it you can resign.

Sense will not kill you. Muslims feed pig grin

This is a wrong assertion that such person can't change overnight. Living his whole life in an area does not simply imply he may not be sympathetic to the course of his own people.

Lagos State House of assembly is trying to set a bad precedent that'll ultimately negate the idea behind amotekun.
Re: "You Can Join Amotekun If You Have Spent 20 Years In Lagos & Speak Yoruba" by OROSUNBOLB(m): 9:18am On Mar 03, 2020
Lagos state has always been my concern regarding Amotekun project. I have this fear that the state will mess it up with her over accommodating nature and laws.

There are millions of non Yorubas who have spent their entire lives in Lagos,who speak Yoruba as first Language yet they hate Yoruba people with passion and will do anything within their influence to bring the Yoruba nation down. And somebody is tinkering with the idea of recruiting this category of people into amotekun corps !

Yoruba people won't allow Lagos politicians to play politics with their lives; that insensitive clause won't see the light of the day.

Were the taxes of Igbos not used to pay the salaries of Sardauna when he made his hate speech against Igbos as a prelude to the pogrom and genocide in the north that decimated many of them?

How does sarduana speech relate with amotekun security guards?...

It seems the Amotekun security may just be a hate brigade after all..

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?

But can he speak Yoruba?

If you want Amotekun to employ just a particular region, then the funding and upkeep should not come from the generality of tax payers monies..

You cant segregate people and expect them to champion the funding of a cause.

Na waa for all these Southwest people. See how dem dey shout amotekun as if na their Messiah. 10*10 Amotekun cannot save them from herdsmen wrath because herdsmen are in police ,military, DSS civil defence , aso rock and all the rest of them. Wasted effort but no harm in trial.

That you can join does not mean you will be allowed to join or that you are automatically a member! There are other terms and conditions and a screening process.
