This is bad. But I think this was done by Amotekun terrorists. Amotekun became radicalised and went into crime and mass murder since their yoruba nations leader was arrested and detained in Benin Republic.

Sad

Yorùbá, o ti n rugbo bọ o

ok

Fulani terrorist on the beat

They say let's call for division of this country, una say no. E no concern una. Osinbajo and Tinubu won't b president if una call for secession. Tinubu even went farther in his a$slicking, to say that Yoruba and fulani are one. Igbos, who foresaw the jihad plans of the fulani, became the enemies of other regions.

Now they have started in the SW, what they do in the North.

How much more blood needs to be shed to keep this hell hole one? Rain, no dey select roof wey im go fall ontop.

Terrorist Amotekun on the beat. Amotekun are now killing their own people and blaming innocent Fulanis

That's no explosion. That's mass shooting

This bloodshed in our country is seriously getting out of hand. We really need to unite and stop this madness going on in our land.
May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

The northerners will hear am for body when they finally have there time.....by now all those Fulanis go don dey run go there state coz reprisal attack dey for sure...

45 innocent yorubas are killed on yorubaland and you cannot blame the terrorist Amotekun just because its your pride, wait till they get to your doorstep and you become another statistics.

Stop Amotekun before they wipe off the western region.

Remember Mile 12 fight and keep quiet.

Hmmm

Amotekun terrorists have finished yorubas in their own land.

How can you do this to your own people because of ordinary Oduduwa nation agitation?

This is not the way to achieve it

How can SW eradicate Fulani herdsmen terrorists? This is not Borno for goodness sake.

RIP to your dead. Such a tragedy.

This is the work of Amotekun terrorists. Fulani cannot do this. The fulani man is a peaceful herder.
Nigerian Army should swoop in immediately, call a state of emergency and arrest anyone speaking Yoruba. They are suspects!

Wan Naijerya!

You're right. Nigeria is a democratic nation that follows rules. This Yoruba nation people should follow legal ways and also the constitution.

Election season

I agree with you
This strategy of bombing churches and killing masses is bad because those innocent yorubas killed are not the ones preventing the actualization of Oduduwa nation.


I think yoruba elders need to come together and stop Amotekun before things get out of hand.
