I am here to vex my anger
I don't know the person behind the rubbish on nairaland..that people are prevented from replying to certain posts just because they did not accept Allah as their God
This is pure religious bigotry, forceful of religion on people and separation based on religion..
"ISLAMIZATION OF NAIRALAND"
I condemn such move outrightly and
I urge anyone behind the evil act to desist from such henceforth.

Gunmen or Fulani herdsmen??

Chai. Yoruba land. We made the dumbest decision to decide to become a part of Nigeria, when our very kith and kin are in Benin and Togo. Silliest decision that will cost us a thousand years in development.
