Prof if you had known that he will be such a colossal disappointment, would you.have rigged him out in 2015?

Nobody rigged for him. He won clearly. Get over it. In fact, it was Saharareporters that prevented the "overnight election magic" typical to Nigerian elections by publishing the results on same day. Didn't the town crier Orubebe tried scuttling the electoral process of announcing the results when he realized his man, Jonathan, was losing the election. Don't let us cry over what ought not to be a topic of discussion at this time.

Go and re read my post, i did not mention Fulani in it. I am talking about the Yoruba people that as a tribe. Fear is not their style...but they prefer peace. I dont know about the Fulani but i know Yorubas are not afraid of them one bit.

Deep inside the DNA of a typical yoruba man is a savage on a leash. And they are strategic and creative when it comes to conflict they know where to hit you and paralyze you.

Peace is the best option.
Peace

Peace is temporarily not an option if someone is holding you by the jugular. You have to use whatever you have to fight back.

olugabbie:
No part of Nigeria can withstand the aggression of the Fulanis. They are not different from Boko Haram. They don't retreat, they dont get tired and they don't surrender. They have successfully carried out attack in SW, SE & SS (especially Delta state, Home of the militants).

Sad they stopped teaching history in Nigerian schools until recently. Go and check historical records. The great Oyo Empire took the Fulani to the cleaners. That's why it's symbolic that this is happening in Oyo State. Even the Fulani elites know what they are toying with.

otipoju:
Yorubas by default do not like trouble...They prefer peace and like to do their " faaji" and celebrate life. But if trouble comes looking for them, they will welcome trouble and give it such a nice time that next time it will think twice before looking for them.

That is why people falsely assume that theybare cowards until everything set then you will know that they are not nice...especially over land matter.

Patience is part of the great philosophy of Yoruba spiritual tradition. But not at the risk of losing your lives. You really have to push a Yoruba man to the wall before he will turn on you. But once he decide to turn on you, forget story, he will win the fight because he has arsenal of tools to do so.

Read part of a published article:

"The Yoruba people of the Southwest Nigeria have long developed a systematic way of thinking and articulating mannerism. This is a useful evidence of the dynamism of Yoruba culture. Yoruba culture is evident in the beliefs, values, customs, practices, and social behaviours of the people.

The philosophical tradition of the Yoruba had been so anchored on and entrenched in the concept of character development. The concept of character referred to by Yoruba as “IWA” is a set of qualities that make somebody distinctively interesting or attractive, especially somebody’s qualities of mind and feelings, somebody’s reputation. (Wiki,2013)

IWA (Character) is one of or perhaps the most important human endeavour taught within Ifa literary corpus and every Ifa stanza (ancient poetic verse) has one portion dedicated to the issue of teaching the IWA (Character/ Behaviour) that Ifa supports. This IWA, which Ifa teaches transcend religious doctrine, it is central to every human being, and imparts communal, social & civic responsibility that the Creator (Olodumare) supports. Central to this is the theme of righteousness and practicing good moral behaviour, not seeking for it in the community but becoming the Ambassador of IWA (Character).

Character reflects our values, ethics and morals thus, IWA reflects the cultural values, ethics and morals which defines Yoruba as a people.

The wellbeing of a society is grossly dependent on the peace and unity maintained by every individual component of the community while engaging in social interaction. Every individual which constitute a social player must at every point in time display acceptable values, ethics and morals that the society dictates. This is reflected in their character."

Sirjamo:
This blog site is one of the most useless blogs in Nigeria. Buhari cannot be stupid enough to issue a shoot at sight order on people trying to protect themselves from killers.


I am not happy that Igboho issued a blanket order for all Fulani to leave, not all of them are criminals, but since the good ones cannot expose the bad ones, all of them should leave.



The only thing I have ever supported about Nnamdi Kanu is the ESN, everyone cannot fold their hands and be watching, while some stinking herdsmen rape and kill their people. Enough is Enough!




I AM DONE TALKING

He never said all Fulani. He said the criminal fulanis. Go watch the videos.

lafiagi007:
I stay in the North and my closest friend is the son of oba of Yoruba of my area same applies to Igbo and all other tribes have theirs too, I am nupe(takpa) and we have ours too, so what's wrong with Fulani's having sarki who will oversee their activities in Yoruba land too? We have to stop this sentimental judgement I we want to move forward.
By the way, I'm not saying that the sarki is doing good neither am I saying otherwise since I don't have the fact of the matter, but the bone of contention is the way we judge one another.

But the Seriki has been the one collecting ransom on behalf of Fulani kidnappers. A PhD holder native farmer went to him to complain about his destroyed farm, and the next thing the Fulani terrorists tied him up and butchered him alive. So many natives have been killed or raped. What do you called that. The worst part is that the criminals include foreign Fulanis as well which the Seriki admitted to.

thebosstrevor1:
Some of you all in the name of supporting so called yoruba nation are supporting the evil of one sunday Igboho who is fighting a selfish political agenda.

Your father! Even with this stupid and evil utterances by a cow herder.

kalu61:
Nobody has the power or right to order a whole tribe to leave a region or state, not even the president.

However, when issues of concern are brought up, FG should look at it holistically and tackle the root cause.

Herders or fulani should be tamed or it will one day lead to ethnic war

He did not order northerners to leave. He directed that fulani kidnappers and killers who can't live in harmony with host community should leave the community.

These politicians? They will sacrifice their entire ethnic people for the sake of their shallow ambition.

quickly:
Make dem just release tsetse fly for where them Dey.

Dem go pick race.


Cows don’t like tsetse flies

I never thought about that. Thats a "biological" way of protecting ourselves against Fulani herders.

Mivici:
They shot him, and he is still alive

You think he is just an ordinary guy. You don't know anything. A Yoruba movie was made about his life. In the movie, a poor woman went to him to help reclaim her land from a military man who forced her off the land. Na so the guy drove the military off the land. His life has been about fighting for the poor against injustice. It is the people of Ibarapa that called on him to help defend them against the fulani kidnappers. Story is that he can conjure a gun out of thin air.

fitzmayowa:
This is just crazy, he went to talk to their seriki and they decided to attack him, while makinde is very quiet about the situation...


I think it's high time the state governors follow in the foot step of ondo state governor, all herdsmen should vacate the forest and if they muy do business in the southwest they should purchase a ranch for their herds...


They can't continue to use their own "legitimate" business to harm others doing their own legitimate business.....

That's the way they butchered a Yoruba PhD holder who returned from Germany and employed so many youths on his farm and fulani herdmen destroyed his farm. He simply went to the Seriki to discuss the problem. They tied him up and butchered him like a cow.

Imagine being face of a country with a leader that ordered the butchering of a native journalist in their embassy in a foreign country. Is it not the same country where zealots go everywhere on pilgrimage. Evil people.

Arewa1stSon:
Going after innocent, armless herdsmen because of politics...

Imagine...

You demonize the whole of herdsmen and chase them from their business places that they've been staying for years!!

Using thugs to threaten and sometimes murder their members all because of power tussle!!

We all know that we have criminals among fulanis... But what is actually happening right now in the west is a political game.

That's why I didn't rush to comment on this issue for days now...

Anyway... Our eyes are wide open!!

Let them enjoy their moment for now!!

It won't be better for you and your generation. Who is talking about politics here. May your family be victims of fulani herdsnen. By then you will know what it's like.

We Yorubas need to stand together against this injustice. Fulani criminals attack Yorubas and rape our women, and also take over our land, no arrest order was issued against these criminals. Now, a courageous Yoruba now stand up to order criminal fulani out of our land, now IGP is giving "arrest order". Ighobo did not say all northerners should leave Yorubaland, he directed his action against a Seriki that has been collecting ransom from kidnapped victims. We must be resolute.

Yes, attack any Yoruba in the north that forcefully go into a northern farmer land or any Yoruba that kidnap northerner. Your Seriki has been involved in kidnapping and collecting ransom from families of yorubas who children or members were kidnapped. A cow seller with so many cars living in the forest who oversaw the butchering of a Yoruba Dr who went to see him to understand why his farm was destroyed by herders. So, many others were kidnapped or the women were raped. Show us any herder that were arrested. Now you can call on security agents. Where were they when the yoruba farmers were kidnapped or attacked. Are your herders not using soldiers to forcefully take over farmers land in Ogun State? Yes, Nigerian military are assisting Fulani herders to molest and take over farm lands in southwest.

Where is the peace in the land? You think you can fool the pigeons. They probably smelt blood in the air, rising all around from north to south,, east and west, and they rather remain in the cage.

Odidigboigbo:
If you cannot categorically pinpoint who he is fronting for, then your accusation is baseless, just a mere newspaper stand gossip

Didn't I state it up there. Check this link below. Those are the people funding him. You think white man will give you something for free. You people are still under a lot of illusion.

Odidigboigbo:
Lagos is leading nothing, 54genes is a private laboratories own by a young man from Akwa-Ibom state, called Dr. Abasi. It's not Lagos state property

He does not own in the real sense. He is just fronting for the white people (Bill Gate and others) who want the DNA data of Africans. Go do online research on this.

You are all being fooled. This company is funded by Bill Gate and their plan is to collect all DNA data of Africans starting with Nigeria, the most corrupt and easiest target because of greed. I am sure, not all countries in Africa will allow a western financed company to be collecting DNA data of its population. Imagine a Chinese funded company to be collecting DNA data of Americans or Europeans. This company 54Gene is fronting for its American owners, so don't be fooled by the Nigerians in lab coats. The real headquarters is in USA (Washington or do). The founder is US trained and worked in the pharmaceutical industry. So, they pushed him down here to come and do the dirty work for them. Which is to obtain all genetic data of Africans. Do you know what that means. The blueprint of your DNA is your life secrets. You wonder why Covid-19 hasn't kill off a lot of Africans. Its because of our genetic diversity. Once these evil westerners have this DNA data, they can decide if they wish to design killer virus to wipe us out if they want. He who pays the piper dictate the tune, this company is only collecting the data for its US financiers. Meaning you are handing your life secrets to people who can do whatever they like with it. Now, am not saying good can't come out of this. But why would a white man be pumping millions of dollars to fund a Nigerian company. I feel sorry for our people because those who are supposed to protect you are the one paying a visit to this company. Who should own the DNA data of Nigerians collected by this company? The DNA data of a country population is a national security issue. If they want to kill us all off with a bioweapon, it has just become easier. Check these links and most especially the second one.

Remember that Bill Gate is interested in population control and Africans are number one on their list. Our peoples greed is not allowing them see what's on the horizon.

Coney Island? Europeanization by force. Reflects low self esteem.

I collect crime data for Lagos. My advice is that you change all your door locks. He already know your ins & outs. If he's really bad,, he potentially could send his criminal pals to come rob you, and anything can happen. Moreso, he will still be bitter that you fired him. My opinion is based on precedents.

dorothy111:
I have been paying 15k monthly for not using electricity. At least he/she got a good job.
Many Nigerians don't even have a job, while most are under paid

Very stupid statement. So, her job is there solely to pay electricity bill she didn't even use. You Nigerians need to have your brains checked, especially with the many Likes your comment got. How do you build a sane society with this kind of mindset.

Where and how will she re-charge the vehicle battery and who will fix or service the vehicle when it develop fault? Seem like a money miss road person.

dazzlingd:
Contribute money to sponsor police....
I tire for this country ..


By the way, the kids are better sold off.....one poor abokii will birth like 20 of them and throw them to the streets to start begging...

Those words you put up their will come back to haunt you, so that you will know what's like to lose a child to kidnappers.

Imustreturn:
Bad Belle people.. everyone is making money. Uber/bolt isn't dragging anything from them what's their problem? Tufiaaaaa

Go to America, home of Uber, or Europe, home of Bolt, and register a cab hailing app company and see whether they will allow you. Support your own. Uber/Bolt operation in Nigeria represent a foreign exchange flight from Nigeria. So, you need foreign companies to operate kabu-kabu in Nigeria.

Go and see what French taxi drivers and those in few other countries does to Uber or Uber drivers.

NextD18:
That guy will never make it abroad.

He'll keep sending all his hard earned money for babalawo without a positive result, while the woman and her kids keep getting protected with what has been protecting them.

Not Babalawo. Babalawo are under oath never to do evil. If one does, it will haunt him till death. Evil people usually patronize traditionalists called Onisegun (medicine man). There is a difference between Babalawo and Onisegun. Babalawo only does divination and required sacrifice. What Babalawo does is usually positive. It is Onisegun that are involved in many of the evil things like ritual, etc

raddyworld:
Actually we are trying as to trying all to have peace within the country.
Did we have peace in Nigeria nnot to talk of only Oyo state. Only God can restore peace, man effort has limitations. Only if we allow the prince of peace to rule our country then man can do all effortless
oluwasegunvibes

Please check into the closest psychiatry hospital. You need help.

bukatyne:
I know how things are done in Nigerian banks.

My question: what is the MD's new offence? We know he had an affair with Mrs. Thomas which birthed two kids.

Did he kill Mr. Thomas? Was he the one who took vows of faithfulness with the deceased?

The MD is the side dude in the case and I do not blame the side chics/dudes.

Do you know anything about work place ethics? Especially that between a very senior male management and a junior female staff that is married. It's obvious most Nigerian women will fall for it because they believe they need to cave in order to survive. But a women raised in a family with strong parental background wouldn't budge. I know what I am saying. Thank God for the family I am from. Many of our married Nija women would even wish to date a company CEO.

Bringing back memories. Mhen health is the greatest wealth one can ever have


Fix the country for all, they said no, they rather fix their individual homes and pockets and they forgot that God is not man that anybody can deceive.


Shame on all Nigerian political leaders from 1960 to date, you all failed Nigeria and Nigerians yet unborn.


Thunder fire all those they call our heroes past, they are our enemies for life; they built the terrible foundation upon which this failed Nigeria of today was built upon.


God will judge you all one after the other, just a matter of time!

Excluding leaders like Obafemi Awolowo, Lateef Jakande, Sam Mbakwe, and other former leaders like them. We all know those leaders that deserve to be cursed into their graves.
