Opinion: Why The North Is Afraid Of The Mystical Leopard Of Yoruba Land Amotekun by Ihateniggov: 12:46pm On Jan 28, 2021
It is a known fact that whenever the Yorubas take a united stand over any issue, they are undefeatable....

Over the years the southwest have watched with keen interest the series of unholy activities of bandits taking place within its borders, several appeal to the federal government to improve the security situation seemed to have either fallen on deaf ears or it has not been taken seriously enough and if at all taken seriously, it is proof that the current security architecture of the country is not suitable for effectively securing the lives and properties of the citizenry.

The last straw that broke the Camel's back was the death of Mrs Olufunke Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere Elder Statesman, Chief Fasoranti who died at the hands of bandits, this was the uniting factor.

The Southwest appealed again but it seemed like nothing was being done at the federal level.
More so the body language of the centre seemed to be appealing to the bandits rather than taking the fight to them, this furthermore emboldened the faceless bandits.

The Yorubas are known to be an extremely enlightened tribe and history has shown that the Yorubas know how to fight their battles without unnecessary confrontations.

The culturally sophisticated Yoruba have always been the voice of reasoning in the political climate of the country, this has earned them the image of a people who strike a balance between the extremely conservative and lesser-educated north and the progressive west but now the story is gradually changing, the relatively peaceful southwesterners have suddenly woken up to discover their meek nature has been mistaken for weakness.

It wasn't a surprise when the Southwestern Elders and Governors came together regardless of their political parties and ideologies to present a united security front against banditry in form of Operation Amotekun.

I leave you with these words "WHEN THE YORUBAS UNITE OVER ANY ISSUE, THEY ARE UNDEFEATABLE".

Just one question and I don't mean to be disrespectful:
Why do Yorubas keep voting for the Hausa Fulani?

Buhari wouldn't be in office if he had won less than 50 percent of the vote in the South West in 2015, but you gave him 96% of your votes.
This is not a pro Jonathan issue since I believe Jonathan had his own flaws and shortcomings, but do you think the level of insecurity in the South West would have been this bad if Buhari had lost the 2015 elections?

The answer to your question is this: If Jonathan had done the right thing whilst in office, no sane being would think of voting him out. There should be nobody to be blamed for this, it was the most logical thing to do at that time.

Bro, calm down don't let us go too far yet. Don't let us talk about how Zik and the Sarduana merged to spite the Yorubas in the 60s and their escapades with Shagari in the 80s too. Let just keep watching for now.

Kindly check the elections of
1960
1965
1979
1983
1993

Maybe you'll edit your comment and substitute Yorubas for igbos.

By the way, the only election Yorubas align with Fulanis is 2015.

Guess who were those aligning with them since 1959.
Your guess is as good as mine.

We know the truth and the truth will always reveal itself but that's not the issue now, we don't want to cause an online tribal war here. We want all southerners to unite, that should be the aim.

No problem with marching on


But lies should be corrected immediately and repeatedly

Lies repeated often enough become "truth"

How can people who have always done something turn round and accuse someone else of it

Did Igbos vote Abiola?

Well many young "omoluabis" do not . They need to be educated or reminded.

The reality is that Igbos have ALWAYS voted for HAUSA FULANI except with GEJ /Buhari
With the Yoruba the exact opposite is the case

I do not think that is true . Indeed it is another example of an untruth repeated often enough becoming "true"

History was available in JAMB and WAEC when I was in school and I believe that is still the case today

WAEC syllabus and past questions for history are still online.

It is quite different now. Every school especially the government owned schools studied history in the 60s and 70s but it is not the same now.

Lol. Why are you guys so hell bent on tarnishing the image of the Yorubas to the extent you have no shame lying absurdly and pulling totally outrageous statistics out of your ass?

Where did you get 96% SW Buhari votes from or you think Yorubas are clannish and hateful voters like Igbos? In 2015 GEJ won Ekiti comfortably. Lagos was close and so was the other SW States. Only God can cure the hate, vindictiveness and envy you guys host in your heart for Yorubas and the SW.
