Pork is white meat. ROFLMAO.

Fenrir:
You speak wisely, my friend. Humanity — aye, that is the iron in the spine of all decency. Without it, crowns turn to rust and laws to dust. You’ve grasped the heart of the matter — when men remember their shared humanity, they stand taller than their tribes, their faiths, or their borders.

I raise my horn to you for that insight. May your words echo longer than the noise of those who chase power without purpose. Stay strong, stay just, and may your path be lit by truth, not comfort.

Skål, brother — the North salutes you.

ALTERNATEID:
Without doubt, there are legitimate concerns as regards the killing of minorities who are largely Christians in the north central region of Nigeria.

Sadly, the irresponsible posturing of northern leaders like Atiku and El-Rufai etc have also sent the wrong signal of ethno religious extremism. When Deborah was murdered, it was irresponsible northern leaders who defended the murder. Atiku who initially condemn the murder quickly deleted his tweet in a show of solidarity with her murderers.

El-Rufai has tweeted a lot of extremely hateful comments against Kaduna Christians. El-Rufai’s son recently tweeted that Fulani people will show kaduna Christians shege. These kind of message from Fulani leaders couple with the unrelenting killings always make it easy for a foreign power to use as excuse to implement their evil agenda under the guise of altruistic interventions.

Hopefully, the Tinubu administration will intensify the effort to end the killings and bring all perpetrators to book. Further engagement with the US government to clarify the situation and address all issues raised should be quickly explored.

ALTERNATEID:
Mr. President’s reaction.

Fenrir:
You’ve made a strong and thoughtful point, and I agree that mob justice and public violence are shameful anywhere they occur. But this issue isn’t about race — it’s about humanity. Every nation that tolerates corruption, silence, and fear will face the same moral decay, no matter the color of its citizens.

In Nigeria, the problem lies deeper than government or police — those institutions simply mirror the people who shape them. Law enforcement is corrupt because corruption is accepted as normal. The military is compromised because loyalty can be bought. The government fails because too many have learned to live comfortably within that failure.

Even the marriage system exposes how far this has gone. Many wedding practices here openly violate human rights, ignore the nation’s own marriage laws, and are built on force, manipulation, and deceit. What should be a sacred union between two willing hearts has too often become a transaction — a stage for control, pressure, and lies.

Until there is honesty, both in leadership and among ordinary people, nothing will change. A nation cannot claim justice when its homes, laws, and unions are built on corruption.

Fenrir:
As a Norwegian scholar who has spent decades studying Yoruba civilisation — from its spiritual systems and social structures to its moral and political philosophy — I view the new John Randle Centre as both inspiring and revealing. It celebrates Yoruba identity with the vibrancy it deserves, yet it also exposes a deeper truth: what we call “tradition” today is not preservation but reinterpretation.

From a European perspective, I find it fascinating — and occasionally troubling — how modern Nigerians speak of being “unapologetically traditional” while having long abandoned many of the actual traditions that defined their ancestors’ world. Across centuries, practices once regarded as sacred or essential — from the authority of the Ifá priesthood and the Ogboni council, to ritual sacrifices, ancestral oaths, gendered rites, arranged marriages, and taboos — have been reshaped or dismissed as “inhumane” or “outdated.”

Progress demands such changes, of course. Yet honesty demands acknowledgment: what is now presented as “Yoruba tradition” is a carefully curated, modern expression of a once vastly different moral order. The irony lies in claiming to revive ancient culture while filtering it through twenty-first-century values — human rights, egalitarianism, and global morality — concepts entirely alien to the world of the ancestors.

Even the recent outrage over mob justice — the tragic culture of public lynching that still scars parts of Yoruba society — reflects this tension. I have seen recordings of these scenes, where a crowd’s excitement turns violence into spectacle. It is horrifying, yet not entirely new. In precolonial times, Yoruba warriors sometimes selected an innocent person to be beaten or sacrificed publicly as a ritual for victory in battle — human life offered to appease fate. History, seen through a modern lens, is grimly consistent in this regard: across all civilisations, not just Yoruba, human life once carried little moral weight outside one’s kin group. Europe, too, had its burnings and its public hangings.

So when we condemn such acts today — rightly — we must also recognise that the moral evolution we praise is a modern development, not an ancient one. The Yoruba of today who call for justice, due process, and human dignity are not continuing the past; they are transcending it. That distinction matters.

The Yoruba world of the ancestors was ordered, poetic, spiritual, and wise — but also hierarchical, punitive, and often brutal. The Yoruba world of today is dynamic, hybrid, and self-aware, but fundamentally modern. To claim the two are the same is to erase both history and progress.

As a European who has watched cultures across continents re-invent their pasts, I find the Yoruba example deeply human. Every society romanticises its ancestors. The honest path, however, is to admit that modern cultural pride is not about returning to what was, but about transforming it into what can still give meaning now.

Only when Yoruba identity — and indeed all cultural identities — embraces that truth, can it celebrate its heritage without being trapped by its mythology.

j.mich.ael.259 please come & read.

Please thank u very much for your intelligent post, by reading the posts of many of these people, it’s not hard to find out why this country is still in such a big mess.

EponObi:
This man and his weekly PR but the real situation in his state paint a different picture. I used to fall his antics until a friend living in Ekiti told me about the real deal. Ekiti is probably the most backward of the SW state with excessive inflation compared to other states, thanks to the huge number of yahoo guys living in the state. [b]Bad road networks, little to no industrialization. All his news about agriculture on a weekly basis, you'd think it's reflecting on the price of food in the state.

PR governor.

According to multiple sources familiar with the development, Edun’s collapse was not due to a medical condition alone but allegedly linked to a shocking security revelation that left him terrified.

simpleseyi:
They wanted to kee Tinubu and his boys. Who can kee the gods? You think Politics is just physical? Go and ask Atiku why he has many Marabouts from the Middle East. You will need to kee Ogun, Sango, Obatala, Osun, Aiyelala and Esu Odara before you can kee the god of Politics, Emilokan JAGABAN.

They should go and find out the meaning of EDUN, which is Wale’s surname. You think this game is a joke?

Putinofrussia:
Believe Saharareporters at your own peril.
They were the ones who reported that Mr Wale Edun collapsed due to a stroke but we later saw Mr Wale at a gallery in UK walking with his two legs.
Saharareporters and speculated fairy tales and lies are like siamese twins.
The collapse is now due to coup.

Nauttyprof:
This just shows your intentions. The two parties involved here are yorubas (Ruben and Rufai) and it has nothing to do with culture but professionalism. I think you find it difficult to comprehend that and bring all sorts to the issue. It's best you deal with bitterness and address issues as they are than bringing all sorts to simple comprehension. You can't issue out threats to the president simply because of your view on an issue.

Before you come back to spew something else again, I believe the solution to Nigeria's problem is NOT ANY of the recycled politicians including Tinubu and Obi. So, get that bitterness off you and discussing issues as they are.

Nigerian Farmers Are In Trouble: See 2000 Naira Yam In Kaduna

It is no longer news that price of food stuffs has come down to some extent. This is good news to the consumers and bad news to farmers. This price drop is as a result of importation of food stuffs.

This present Government gave improvers the green light to import food stuffs into the Country with zero tax. This has affected Nigerian farmers who invested millions to farm. Nigerian farmers this year will not be able to make 50% of their investments in farming this year.


As a farmer. Whenever I am transporting myself and workers to the farm, I spend 18k on fuel my vehicle. Buy food for my workers. Fertilizer is between 55k to 70k per bag. Herbicide chemical is from 5k to 15k. To rent a tractor for five days will cost over a million. Plus the risk of going to the farm as Kidnappers and armed robbers are everywhere.

After spending all this money and risk taken, you still can't recover the amount you invested.

The best way to bring down the price of food stuffs is by reducing the prices of Fertilizer, Seedlings, Herbicide chemicals, Tractor services and fuel. When this is achieved, prices of food will come down naturally.
