NGpatriot:
The usual chest beaters are are always happy and welcoming the wrong things.

This company is not going anywhere and on top of that, Lekki Deep Seaport, the best and the largest in West Africa is only 2 years away.


Lagos is still and shall remain the main Port of call in Nigeria and West Africa .

Even Badagry deep seaport is in the horizon.

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think this amoketun issue is being hypocritically blown out of proportion to expand hatred for other tribes especially the Fulanis. Why must we Christians be the brain behind the vast support for Amotekun when the Nigerian constitution is clear about the roles of the armed forces and police in the security of the country? Why must we form an ethnic militia to target fellow Nigerians when the constitution guarantees freedom of movement and doing business nationwide as long as we are Nigerians? What we fail to realize is that the south east cheering on Amotekun sees its as a synonym for their biafra agitations and they will rather support anything that will disband the relative peace and unity of Nigeria. The IPOB sympathizers will be the one to cry wolf when Amotekun starts targeting their tribesmen who commits various crimes in the south west. MURIC recently condemned the killing of a CAN pastor and sympathized with we Christians, how many Christians will condemn the killing of an imam or Muslims? Instead we rejoice when tragedy strikes them forgetting we are all humans before religion. Instead of emulating our Muslim brothers who have remained silent on this issue of Amotekun, we Christians are disturbing the cyberspace with hypocritical comments. Amotekun will never see the light of the day as long as we remain one Nigeria. It's a bad policy and a tribalistic security outfit aimed at persecuting other Nigerians. On behalf of we Christians, i condemn Amotekun. Let's learn to live in peace and harmony

PassingShot:
In as much as we need a localized security outfit, our governors goofed by not taking this initiative through the various states' HOA first.

Sentiments apart, Amotekun as it stands today, has no legal backing anywhere - whether in states or at the national level. Such is dangerous even for us Yorubas.

Hillsong34:





if the Yorubas believe AMOTEKUN is legal or created by any law and that the duties and responsibilities of the outfit (including the issue of holding fire-arms or lethal weapons) does not contravene any provision of the constitution, what is stopping them from approaching the Courts for settlement of the matter?
Why can't our Yoruba brothers pursue the issue of AMOTEKUN based purely on its merit and without joining HISBAH which differs in legitimacy, structure and functions, into their agitation?
Why can't they go about the matter with maturity and without insults or emotional blackmail against the Northerners especially and anyone of them who has reserved public commentary aligning with their agitations?
Is the group of South West Governors not made up of at least a lawyer? Rotimi Akeredolu the Governor of Ondo State is not only a Senior Advocate of Nigeria but also a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association. Why has he been unable to provide legal advise to his peers on the legal implications of setting up AMOTEKUN the way it was done?
Is this an indictment of his legal credentials or simply a well orchestrated move?








the outlawed notorious Yoruba Ethnic Militia (OPC) with history of violent crimes against other ethnic groups and even the police, are integral part of the outfit













WE APC SAY NO TO AMOTOKEN...WE SAY NO TO TERRORISTS






If SW needs regional force they shoul rally for. Constitutional review that will guarantee them regional force. And of course we will gladly support such move where both referendum, security, the resources control, infact full restructuring will be considered.


This will guarantee them regional force as well empower every Nigeria to face any rascal head on.


Both clearly always feeling they are smart because they one support restructuring by mouth and media. Clearly boycotted the right thing and set up regional force and now want to use media to make it scale through.


I hate deceit and why are they not talking about constitutional reviews that guarantees them all they want.


So since that the game and I am not interested in their 2023 brigandage or whatever, Amotekun remains unlawful and a terrorist organisation.




If they need that we can support them through review and of course it is not lost on me that SE, SS even NC wants same review then why are they avoiding same process.

4 zones against 2 will get it done.

Muslims in Osun State, under the banner of
Osun State Muslim Community (OSMC),
have condemned the process for the
recruitment into the newly launched Western
Nigeria Security Network, also known as
Amotekun.
They described the process where recruits
are asked to produce birth certificates from
Churches as a deliberate action to silence
the Muslims in the region.
In a communique issued at the end of a
delegates’ meeting held in Osogbo, Osun
State Muslim Community said that they were
in full support of existing security outfit for
protection of life and property in Nigeria
provided by the Nigeria constitution and the
laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The group in the communique signed by the
duo of Alhaji Mustafa Olawuyi (President)
and Alhaji Hashim Ilelabade Olapade
(Secretary), a copy of which was made
available to DAILY POST on Monday, added
that “The composition and establishment of
Amotekun in the South West of Nigeria is
unacceptable by the Osun State Muslim
Community (OSMC) as highlighted in its
nomenclature.”
The duo said, “Osun State Muslim
Community is in full support of existing
security outfit for protection of life and
property in Nigeria provided by the Nigeria
constitution and the laws of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
“The composition and establishment of
Amotekun in the South West of Nigeria is
unacceptable by the Osun State Muslim
Community (OSMC) as highlighted in its
nomenclature.
“We unequivocally condemn issuance of
certificate of birth, letters of
recommendation from the Church
deliberately silent about other religions.
Osun State Muslim Community (OSMC) can
never support one-sided security outfit which
may later on prove insecure for the general
populace.
“Osun State Muslim Community (OSMC)
hereby awaits full details of the composition
of the security outfit which should be fully
endorsed by all State Houses of Assembly in
the South West of Nigeria.
“The Amotekun charter titled “Amotekun
Golden Rule” contravenes the spirit of
Nigerian constitution, confrontational and
sectional. The OSMC shall not be disposed
to support any organization on tribal
sentiments.
“The establishment of Operation Amotekun
is shrouded in secrecy and hidden agenda,
inimical to security of lives and properties
and the progress of the nation therefore it
should be countenanced.
The group also condemned the action from
of Adeleke University Ede for allegedly
suspend a Muslim student.
“The OSMC reviewed the case of a Muslim
Student suspended for a semester from
Adeleke University for not attending daily
Church services as compelled by the
University.
“It was resolved that the Stand of this
University negates the policy of National
University Commission (NUC) that
guarantees freedom of worship for faith-
based private Universities. Therefore, Adeleke
University Ede is an untrustworthy, insincere
and deceitful institution.
“Muslims are hereby called upon to
henceforth boycott the University and seek
admission for their wards in other tertiary
institutions that are tolerant to the practice
of Islamic religion”.

BUT how can it be 100% yoruba land when we have ijaw indigenes in ondo,people like Sowore.

HeWrites:
Nigerian immigrant, Ayoola Ajayi, who is facing charges in the United States for allegedly killing University of Utah student, MacKenzie Lueck, has been hit with 19 new charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Prosecutors said they discovered child pornography in Ajayi’s computer with images of children as young as four years old during investigation into Lueck’s death, Igbere TV reports.

The new charges were filed on Tuesday.

Ajayi, 31, has still not entered pleas to counts of murder and kidnapping of the student.

A probable cause statement for the new charges does not indicate any link between pornography and Lueck.

Ajayi was arrested in June after SWAT personnel responded to an apartment complex in Salt Lake City.

Lueck’s last communications were with Ajayi and both parties’ cell phones were at Hatch Park within less than a minute of each other.

That overlap occurred shortly before Lueck’s online/cellular activity ceased.

Born in Nigeria, Ajayi appears to have briefly explored a career in modelling, according to a profile on ModelMangement.com.

Listing his height as six-foot-one, Ajayi goes on to describe himself as “tall, buffed, funny,” as well as “a victim, Romantic, Violent and character actor [sic].”

The former information technology specialist for the US Army also recently worked for Dell and Goldman Sachs.

According to Punch News Nigeria - Source

Nigeria has recorded illicit financial outflows of $217.7bn in 38 years, specifically between 1970 and 2008, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, said in Abuja on Wednesday.

The commission stated that the various investigations, arrests, prosecution and assets recoveries over the years had confirmed that the level of corruption in Nigeria had been truly staggering.

The Acting Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, represented by its Acting Spokesperson, Tony Orilade, expressed these views at a one-day conference organised by Online Publishers Association of Nigeria with the theme: “Free press and objective reporting in the 2019 election year.”

The EFCC boss said corruption in Nigeria was being perpetrated by individuals and groups both in the private and public sectors.

He identified former state governors, ministers, high ranking military officers, chief executives of parastatals and top bureaucrats in state and federal agencies as culprits involved in the public sector theft.

Magu said, “The alarming rate of corruption committed by these unpatriotic elements can be partly seen in the number of convictions secured by the EFCC from Nigerian courts since I assumed duty as the head of the commission in 2015.

“The figure stands at 103 in 2015, 195 in 2016, 189 in 2017 and 312 for the period of January to December 2018. The total figure for the period of 2015 to 2018 is a mind-blowing 799 convictions. In the process of such convictions, the EFCC recovered N794.5bn, $261m, £1.1m, €8.1m and CFA86, 500.

“One of the most graphic ways through which the absence of democratic accountability manifests itself in Nigeria today is through the prevalence of rampant corruption at all levels of governance. For example, Transparency International reported that Nigeria was the most corrupt country in the world for years: 1996, 1997, 2000 and second in the line for remaining years up to 2003.

“In February 2015, a high-level panel on illicit financial flows from Africa constituted by the African Union, under the chairmanship of a former President of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, revealed that Nigeria ranked first among ten African countries by cumulative illicit financial flows between 1970 and 2008. The total outflow from Nigeria for the period was $217.7bn constituting about 30.5 per cent of Africa’s total share.”
