Recruit more then.

They might not really need more men to man those troubled areas properly in a modern times where a single farmer in a remote county can monitor several hundreds of hectare/plantation using surveillance drone technology (not attack drones)from a small cubicle in a room. Using this technique, the military can spot potential troubled and check it by drafting immediate military or security reinforcement. Nigerian government/military should think outside the box... pay premium on human lives...and stop all these laughable excuses.

Some people think that 'cause they have data on their phones, and are free to express their views, then they have a say in everything. Obviously she's from a liberal Muslim family than the ones practising fanatism.

Yea. Fanatism as well as poverty of the mind are known with folks who associate everything to religion be it Muslim or Christian. A Fashola and an Amosun who are married to Christians are very much relevant politically.

IditaBoy:
Islam started about 1500 years back with Muhammed. Excavated artefacts and human remains put Yoruba group and Yoruba religion at a much earlier date.

Asides that, Islam got into Yoruba land around 15th/16th century through Oyo and/or Iwo but on a very low scale until around 18th and 19th century when people began adopting Islamic names in Oyo provinces NOat because they wanted Islam but because they needed to prevent Ilorin war boys who attacked only non-muslims from pillaging their properties and taking their wives and kids. As a result, most offsprings not knowing how their names came about adopted the religion from where their names came.

Researched facts through several studies in History, Ethnigraphy & Archeology established that Yoruba civilisation and Yoruba religion/institutions had long existed in a very well fashioned and intelligently complex manner before Islam touched Yoruba land.

Please focus on selling and defending your Islam. Do not slip in and twist Yoruba history while defending your religion. I’m sure Allah & Muhammed (SAW) both frown at lies and falsehood. If you have to speak on Yoruba history, put the Quran down & read properly researched texts instead.

I shake my head over how religions created by fellow men have become a strong identity for people.

God bless your likes. You aren't like the ignorant bigoted lots around.

I beg to disagree but i won't mind if you elaborate on it

It's in the history. You could pls check up the search engine on El kanemi of Bornu empire and Danfodio.

QueenOfNepal:
Boko Haram is a child of Danfodio destructive militant islam which entrenched poverty and caused the high level of Illiteracy in the North

Nop! Boko haram is Kanuri issue. Kanuris weren't conquered by Danfodio...

verygudbadguy:

Bros, everything up here makes you a tribalist. Your encounter with few Yorubas mean all Yorubas are the same abi?
So because Chinedu sold a fake belt to me or the Igbo guy that refilled the AC gas but didn't work well mean that all Igbos are fraudster. Hell no. I stay with Igbos in Lagos and I know what i pass through in their hands. I still won't generalize that all Igbos are tribalist.

You mirrored the voice of countless sane minds across the nations in the country by rebuffing such myopia at generalizing the Yorubas or any other ethnicities based on baseless views.

OsuGanja:
YOU ARE A GREAT FOOL.....HATER

What the fellow didn't understand is that the story of her rise to stardom merit news element of rarity or oddity. Good news doesn't have to equate academic excellence which is also noteworthy. They most often emerge from the odd world of rarity.

dakeskese:
These fulani guys are everywhere.
The herdsmen in other civilised societies hardly have issues. The ones in UK, France... they ar nt animalistic in nature.

SO BAD!

This leaves me with two conclusions:
1) Religion is a problem here. A certain religion preaches war.
2) Illiteracy is a factor as to be uncivilised is d same thing as to be barbaric.

Another is the usual narrative that Nigerians have the right to reside anywhere in the country....those with this take should explain if cows of herdsmen equally have the right with their human herders without restrictions on another's region,land or property. Open grazing is strictly primitive. A way of life herdsmen cannot afford to practice in modern times in another man's territory in the name of Nigerians have the right to live anywhere....

ipodstinks:
Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnn . Same old story by typical pained Igbo. Lagos knows who owns it, those who owns it know Lagos. Go and claim anioma first before you come carry Lagos matter for head. We are tired of this cry of Lagos no belong to no man already. Anyone that want to die can die. If Lagos is not Yoruba land, then it must be your father land be that.

Lols....may be it was their father & not a Lagos Oba the colonialists signed the treaty that made Lagos a British colony in 1861, long before anywhere called Nigeria.

bnanzip:
He is happy that his brother is dead

It's unfairto allude that. This video was previously done....before the elder's demise.

lastcall:
Other countries are making giant strides while Nigeria is talking about tribalism

Those countries must have had solid foundations based on Social Contract. Failure to address that is the bane of Nigeria's unity.

madridguy:
Even as anti-Saraki, I think people should stop complaining about this cos what's inside Saraki is bigger than any oracle. Al Kitaab is bigger than any oracle and reason why you hardly see ilorin people prostrate or bow for any king.

Same thing happened to every American President when they visit Saudi Arabia. You must bow.

It's nothing bro.... the pix isn't what the generality have termed it to be. Obviously the senate president walked in as dignitaries, including the monarch, were seated. The camera snapped as the monarch was standing up to the hand shake. It's self evident and nothing untoward of the monarch.

victorDanladi:
There are many lies that cant be discredited in Nigeria.

1.That Igbo(s) can do anything for money, are chest beaters and criminalistic-Every tribe has its own greedy people and criminals and every tribe chestbeat about one thing or the other.

2.That fulanis are born to rule

3.That yorubas are coward,hypocritical and betrayal-majority of Nigerian human right activities are yoruba.Yorubas actually stopped the fulanis from advancing to the south at Odo-otin courtesy of Ibadan worriors.Do you know why Adekunle fajuyi has to die with Agui ironsi.On betrayal,yoruba never had any convenant with anybody.

4.That the first coup is Igbo coup.

5.That the norths are babaric especially the fulanis

6.That there is one islamization Agenda somewhere.

All the aboves are lies that no matter how hard you try to convince some people,they will still hold the belief may be out of bigotry.

Stop terming your nation a mere tribe.

ExpiredNigeria:
You should be telling this to those who want war.. Me and My Biafrans brothers and sister are calling for referendum not war.. This shows you how stvpiid some Nigerians are.. too backward that they don't know the difference between Referendum and war

We want Referendum Referendum Referendum Referendum Referendum Referendum Referendum not War

Haven said that we have right to self defense in case anyone thinks we're cowards..

I agree with you. No one is calling for war. The agitators are rightly calling for one or more of the following: equity in national issues, country's resturing, true federalism, resource control, cessation, regionalism, etc., without arms to harm anyone. These are what some termed war mongering under the guise of retaining the country's sick status quo in the favour.

SirWere:
The headline is misleading.
Falae only reiterated what most Yoruba elders has been agitating for for a while now : Regionalism.

It takes no seer to see that a regional Nigeria will end claims of marginalization and finally silence the calls for secession




Before Gaddafi sef, the macphersion constitution in 1951 stated that

The General Conference was of the view that over-centralisation would be a grave error "in this vast country with its widely differing conditions and needs", and that the policy which had received enthusiastic support throughout the country was the policy of achieving unity at the Centre through strength in the Regions. It was confidently expected that when the Regions felt that they had wide powers to run their own regional affairs, they would be more likely ready to co-operate with the other Regions through their representatives in the Council of Ministers and the House of Representatives in serving the interest of Nigeria as a whole".

Amazing how they were able to predict what would happen.

Ironic how they weren't listened to.



However, to be fair, we all know who abolished regionalism

FACT.

nerodenero:
Name an ethnic group in Nigeria that's free from ethnic bigotry with facts? You have about 10 submissions on this thread, SW don do you strong thing.

If the regions were countries such a road will not be left unattended for so long. One Nigeria should do better.

HsLBroker:
Julius Berger and RCC started working on the road during PDP regime before fashola took over as a minister

Well said. Folks should be rationale.

dealslip:
Black mail. Christians don't kill.

Anyone can kill, even a Christian, but everyone knows those who kill chanting in the name of a supposed god. That's what you hardly hear from a Christian killer.

feelgoodInc:
how can you go through my comments without reading the thread? majority in the school learn IRK and a student says he's not offering IRK, because he's a Christian, then guess what happened?

please don't quote me again read the thread, or ask the person that posted it

Students do a subject and don't offer it. However, the rationale for our curriculum to offer Arabic language for student isn't all bad except that it is the language of most Islamic countries and Nigeria being a religious country with two major religions of Christianity and Islam, adherents of the former might rightly kick that Hebrew, for instance, isn't included to balance the 'equation'. But we are surrounded by Francophone countries. French should have been left as the only option for equity. Just my opinion.

spinna:
So a reasonable statement can come from miyetti ..

Lols...I thought they would claim igbos came from Congo and that Igboland is their ranch like Benueland.

rangerover:
THIS FULANI HERDSMEN AND THE EVIL PERPETRATED IN THIS COUNTRY WOULD ONE DAY MEET THEIR WATERLOO. IN CIVIL CLIMES LIKE BRAZIL, U.S.A, U.K AND INDIA YOU INVEST YOUR MONEY IN RANCHES AND RAISE YOUR COWS NOT ROAM AND DESTROY PEOPLE'S FARMS AND THEN KILL FARMERS AND ACT LIKE YOU OWN THIS COUNTRY. LOOK AT ABUJA RIGHT IN THE CAPITAL FROM MABUSHI TO EVEN BESIDE CBN YOU SEE SOME COWS GRAZING. WHAT KIND OF NONESENSE IS THIS. WHAT IS THIS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. HAVE THEY LOST THEIR SENSES

They loathe the law preventing them from that archaic way of life, roaming about with cows, instead of doing same in the confines of a ranch. Worse still they want that way of life in another man's farmland/land/property, claiming they have right as citizens. Do their cows have equal right of citizens? Are other Nigerians of different ethnic nationalities disrupting others in like manner as they go about their livelihoods? How can agrarians cohabit with herdsmen who would not ranch his cattle or embrace modern animal husbandry? Why would Nigerians not agitate for restructuring or outright cessation in this scenarios? What has the federal government done against open grazing with all
or are they in support? Hmmmnnn, so many questions......

nisai:
I told you that south West is already a nation. All states in southwestern Nigeria declared today 12th of June,2017 public holiday to remember MKO Abiola, the elected president that was made never to become. They have one political party. They have the highest and most efficient human resources. The region has the strongest economy in Nigeria. It has the most functional educational system. It is more united than other regions. It manages its religious differences on table unlike other regions Who use arms. The southwest is smartly a nation within Nigeria.

SW is a Nation in a Country. A country has nations as constituents.

maria43:
You invade and kill people in their communities and say the constitution grants you the freedom of movement.

The man said "From our little understanding, this law is a direct confrontation with the constitution of Nigeria because every Nigerian has an inalienable right to move from one part of the country to another without seeking for a visa"... Are those cows they move about causing mayhem on people's farm also Nigerians with equal rights as citizens?

Thermodynamics:
He did not speak anything good about the three ethnic group. He only came to Africa for his own selfish reasons, he came here just for our resources, He is a thief, a treasure hunter. Well he was only right about one thing, about his opinion on the Hausas/Fulani, those people are leaches, they have absolutely nothing to offer, they are as dumb as a day old doughnut. Since they don't value their lives, they are ready to kill themselves along with others so they can get what they want, that is why the rest of Nigeria is afraid of them. I think the Yorubas and the Igbos will do well independently, if Nigeria splits, I also think that Niger delta will also do well, we should stop fighting ourselves and let the West, The South and The eastern region come together to make an agreement and split out of this curse called Nigeria. I think we will do more better.

It is always laughable to often hear some so called elder statesmen say the ethnic nationalities in the country cannot stand separately. Same goes for those with juicy political posts or are nursing political ambitions harping the shared baseless sentiments. Some will even say God have a hand in Nigeria's creation by 'Pastor Lugard'. Well, God cannot support a Tower of Babel that best describe Nigeria formed without recourse to Social Contract. NEVER!!! That no region can stand alone and prosper is a big fat LIE that nauseates.

CarlosTheJackal:
Is it right? Why should Hausa always cause problem with their religion anywhere they are

Partly because most of them can't tell the difference between their God given culture and foreign religion they have replaced for everything: tradition, religion, politics, etc. Compare them to our peaceful SW Muslims who still have sense of their culture and know that religion has it's place. While they are Yorubas first...they accepted the 'peaceful religion' with common sense...they share no restive tendencies like folks in middleeast countries with religious tensions.

There is machine for detecting the westerners., and that is:
The Shape Of The Head.....
Flat-Heads are Easterners.
Cone-Heads are Westerners.

You guys are so funny. What happens if a fellow's head is flat and coned?...we can't generalise over head shapes as something peculiar to an ethnic nationality...
