Yakassai trying to play divide and rule, by trying to revive long dead sentiments and fear and further divide the south. Yoruba ronu. Although, I get angry and frustrated with the timidity, and lack-lustre zeal the Southeast governors and leaders show towards the struggle for the peaceful and negotiated actualization of biafra, but this cannot be compared to the angst I feel towards this master-servant romance going on between the hausa-Fulani and Yoruba." Isn't it time we wake up and smell the coffee"? Isn't it time we define our place in this contraption called Nigeria?. Personally, I think its time we align ourselves with the hopes and aspiration of our brothers down south and in the east for either the balkanisation of Nigeria or regionalisation. Emi wi te mi.

"and there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon" Rev12:7
Thus began their final expulsion from the heavenly places!

I can go on to mention so many anti- Nigerian comments Buhari has made in the past but one statement that stuck out like like a sore thumb is the dog and baboon one that incited a lot of post-election violence in 2011. Many corpers lost their lives. It hurts so badly that this same man is the champion of our so called democracy. In saner climes he would be behind bars and would be certified unfit to lead his own herd. I love the fight against corruption but the man at the helm of affairs is so morally bankrupt to lead this fight. I'd rather the institutions are empowered through the instruments of law so that the crusade against corruption will march on independently ,regardless of who occupies Aso rock. Shake my head for a large % of youths in this country that seem to have completely lost their sense of justice and equity trying to defend the deeds of this goverment that are inexcusable.

You made such beautiful point and ended it with kudos to a governor who has redefined politics in Nigeria by sharing 500g of rice and N500 to indigenes of the state while eating amala worth N2000 on the street...a man who handed den guns and machettes to hunters as solution to the Fulani Herdsmen imbroglio and you say kudos? Kudos to you too for being a simpleton...

Wow! Simpleton? Never been called that before. Now to one of the issues you raised, Serious governments all over the world know that the best way to stem a persistent wave of violence is to come up with short term and long term solution. Short term as in the case of people in Ekiti the setting up of vigilante groups to forestall undue or outright slaughter of its indigene's by fulani Herdsman and long term by pushing a bill through the state house of assembly to criminalise grazing in the state to prevent a recurrence of this situation, and also to empower law enforcement agency to do their job with the full support of the law. Note that this step was taken due to lack of leadership on this issue by the Fg. By the way, I think the word 'simpleton should be redefined to include simpleton like yourself who peddle half truths and misinformation to score cheap political points.

I have always aligned myself with the agitation of the Ibos to secede from Nigeria, and with the SS for 100% resource control and a very weak ventral government. This has been my political standpoint since I was 17. Now in my mid 30's my opinion on issues of this nature is changing and becoming more passive as I see spineless and almost pacifist utterances of these so called governor's. From these regions against the betterment of their own people. Okowa, Enugu state governor, okorocha et al. A case study is the herdsman issue, although the larger % of governors in the sw are apc controlled, there was a unanimity in their call out against land for grazing. The call out against these menace informally spearheaded by fayose was generally lauded by people in the region though a larger percentage were not of the same political inclination.I thought to myself finally a road map to end these scourge as proposed by the Ekiti state governor will be implemented or at least adopted in part by the governors in his party, but like the ostrich that they are, they all burried their heads in the sand. Such a shame. The se and ss should take their destiny into their own hands and elect people who are genuinely after their welfare and who would agitate or champion their cause. Kudos governor Fayose really respect ur opinions and drive most of the time.

Nigeria plagued? Buhari a type of pharaoh? Questions begging for answers? Time will tell.

The Brits are already meeting with governors and stakeholders in preparation for a fractured Nigeria. Time to form economic alliances.

You seem to be missing something here. The reason for the flood was to clean up the blood line of man that had been polluted by the nephillim. If you study the story of the flood deeply you will note that a particular verse there reads Noah was perfect on his generation, in other word Noahs lineage had not been interbred with by the fallen ones and on top of that he was righteous

I AM FOR JESUS.

would love to die standing on my 2 feet , breath fading slowly, smiling and blessing my mum (dead or alive).

TO SAY 'AM IMPRESSED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. I MAKE BOLD TO SAY THAT ONLY A FEW ETHNIC GROUP CAN GIVE A VERY DETAILED ANALYSIS AND HISTORY OF ITS POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL AFFILIATIONS LIKE THE YORUBAS. THIS SHORT PIECE OF HISTORY BY THE OONI REALLY MAKES A GOOD READ. IT SHOWS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT HE IS ENLIGHTENED AND WORTHY OF THE ROLE BESTOWED ON HIM.

Its so painful that muslims dont want to take responsibility for who they are. In my opinion accepting that islam has a violent history  and  in most cases they are aggressors rather than the aggressed they make themselves out to be would be a very good start to proffering solution to most relegious problems around the world or is it just a coincidence that they are killing hindus in india, pakistan,thailand, malaysia, phillipines,christains in nigeria,lebanon,jews in israel(everywhere) using despicable methods and practices. thanx to all objective nairalanders who dont revert to unwarranted invectives when they realise how weak and unreasonable their argument is.

i have to be honest here the way i see it is that the opressed is easily been labelled the opressor in the name of political correctness. Israel has in the past 6 decades put up with a lot of violent practices all in the name of the u.n palestinians are not peace loving people as u guys are making them out to be look at the hundreds of chances they have had in the past to make things work and yet they refused .not until we all can read between the lines even kids can easily tell when they see the clouds they tell u a storm is brewing so why cant u see that islamic hegemony is the end game as clearly stated by al zawahiri if iranians love the palestinians so much why dont they just support them by building schools and mosques and putting forward meaninful resolutions at the u.n rather they send them guns to kill themselvea all in the name of preaparing the way for the 12th immam( religious fanatism at its very best) let us not forget what gave rise to all this unrest the massacre of jews in europe which later led to mass migration to palestine and as time went by they bought these lands from the palestinians and settled in some parts known to be inhabitable and made a paradise and an economy out of it only for the palestinians to turn around requesting for these lands when the ones they have got hasnt been utilised at all lest i forget israel as it is today has width the size of jfk airport in the u.s while the whole of the arab lands is hundreds of thousands in sq miles.another good way to look at it is from our own perspective here in nigeria. its only shameful that some people make uninformed comment, palestinians greet the death of isrealis by suicide bombers with great joy while any isreali that kills a palestinian is sentenced to life imprisonment now to the issue of syria it habours the greatest terrorist of all in its territory(leader of hamas) assasinates rafik hariri and turns around to sue for peace , which to me seems higly inconsistent. i will like to close up this session by reminding you "infidels" as we are known or called by muslim zealots when asked in 1978 ali khomeni the father of the revolution in iran said after a long day in the service of Allah(killing jews and christains and laying siege at the emassy of the u.s about the carnage he said so far humans have not been killed only "pigs"
