Too much liberalism. That's what's going to be our undoing in Yorubaland if we aren't careful.

We are afraid of being called ethnicists while others aren't ashamed to show that they consider their own ethnicities first and foremost before others.

How many Southerners have been allowed to join Hisbah Shari'a police in the North?

Amotekun should only allow Yorubas. We can't deceive ourselves, loyalty in Nigeria is based on ethnic lines. It is the truth.

When push comes to shove, who do you think the Fulanis in Amotekun will be loyal to?

You are right, Yoruba good mindedness has always been the problems in the past. it's just that Nigeria is such a complicated state. I believed the idea is political.

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?



Let him apply now and let's see if he will be taken.

Clearly you are not from Lagos.
This is not a time for childish talk
But I'm yoruba and that's what matters: If we go for oodua meeting I'm more recognized than you. Amotekun is our own not just Lagos own.live with that.

Foolish talk.

This is about the legal framework.

So the discussion is for rational people not emotional rants.

There are non Yoruba communities in Lagos state e,g Badagry.
So will Amotekun import Yoruba people from Kwara or Kogi to operate in Badagry
mumu like you, when it comes to oodua deciding for Amotekun don't be deceived I'm more recognized for being a full yoruba. Amotekun is for yoruba QED

Lagos has non Yoruba indigenes
Any willing non yoruba indigen should bow for oodua or steer clear our Amotekun

To have Indigenes Certificate and apply to join Amotekun, you will be at least 24 years old.
6 years pre primary plus 6 years for primary education plus 6 years for secondary and plus 6 years post secondary skills acquisition period.

It's a Committee report, the Gov might decide to tweak it.
I also really doubt if someone who have co-habited with you that long can change overnight.

@ change overnight part... really? Are you sure? Try Alimi of Ilorin then. Not only did he change, he betrayed...and took over...

He is entitled on paper let u see what happens in practice.

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.
Baba God bless you,,that what me and my friends were just saying...

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?
Bros na u go do de interview?
