Yoruba1stson:
ok mr old man, unity with nyamiris is dead on arrival

Then start your agitations in failure.
Imagine starting a 10 story building on quicksand

OfoIgbo:
Yorubas specialise in kneeling before their juniors and begging for their lives. Oladipo Diya, Adisa and co know what I'm referring to.
Ogundipe ran away when a junior Hausa officer refused to obey his order. He was not threatened at all, and yet he ran away.
The whole Nigerian army was looking for Ojukwu to kill him and he outwitted them and escaped. Ogundipe disguised himself like a transvestite and disappeared, even though no one was looking for him.

Between Ojukwu and Diya, who's the coward?

Between Nnamdi Kanu and Ogundipe who is the coward?

both you and the yorubas against an alliance between both group are foolish people who never learn from history. The north could not have won without the west. Translate to the fact that the east would never win without the western support. It shows the west is important which also brings us to the point that the west cannot win without the support of the eastern part due to the same factor that affected the east against the north. Stop being foolish

Yoruba1stson:
just keep dreaming

Dream what. Nothing can be acheived by Yoruba or igbo alone. What's the point of discussing strategy with small boys.
You fake Yoruba son . As I have always said you are a small boy when it comes to such issues .it's above your level.

ScamHunter:
No one is expecting Yoruba to fight, my friend. Yoruba and audacity or bravery are mutually exclusive scenarios. If it were Hausa, it's a different ball game, but Hausa are already conquered. Apart from the Jukuns and Igbo-led Eastern Region, no other group has what it takes to resist Fulani domination. Your question should be, "Can Nigeria contend With Another Crisis in The Eastern Region?" considering that the north is already nearly overrun by bandits (approved) and Boko Haram (partly approved).

the issue is not if yourbas are willing. The very nature of yorubas eschew strife and bitterness.they tend to see violence as the last result .Which must be sanctioned by their elders..
That's why you hardly see much inter community violence amongst them. Any fight must be collectively agreed upon.its traditional.its in their DNA .Their leaders must collectively agree and come out to direct them. Check their history.
The issue is the so called leaders. The igbos on the other hand don't really care much about leaders as long as they feel such as been compromised.
Yoruba leaders are seeing the handwriting on the wall
The funny thing from their history (yorubas) is when they turn on such kind of leaders .they would be seen as worthless.some are already towing that part

Yoruba1stson:
Yoruba and unity with nyamiris are like parallel line that can never meet, so mr unity beggar stop crying about any fvcking unity bcuz we yoruba have made up our minds never to unite with you guys on anything
God bless yoruba nation

shut your dirty mouth ,who are you in the community of strategic Yoruba thinkers. You are bunch of igboho followers who have no strategy. In as much as I support Sunday . I would be a fool to follow without strategy in acheving a goal.
Biafra and odua nation would be a distant dream if igbo and Yoruba fail to work together.
The north knows these stuff better than you.

OluomoJ:
Smh. With the way extremist yoruba Christians and Muslims are posturing already, seems the future of a united yoruba country may not be so bright afterall. It is as if they have submitted their brains to the alter of religious dogmatism and extremism. I am a Yoruba Christian man successfully married to a Yoruba Muslim woman for over 20yrs and blessed with 4 beautiful children without any issues whatsoever. But the crop of yoruba extremists from both religions are making me question the future harmony of the race, be it within Nigeria or as an independent country. We must never give religion too much power over our lives as a people, or else we are doomed as a people. Aboro lan so fun Omoluabi.

You are very correct. For any success to be recorded ,Yoruba nation must be a secular state. The day they allow a religious edict would be the downfall of such .I have christians and Muslims in my family ,I can not envision enacting a law based on muslim basis or Christian one. What about the traditionalist who would want their own law that might be contrary to the other religions,who would Carter for them

myobjective:
I was born and still resides in the north. The Yoruba ethos of religious tolerance is more than that.

I have a Christian sister whose daughter now resides with my mother. Her name is Esther. Her dad and mom are Christians buts since she has been living with more mother for years, she dressed in a big hijab and perform every act of worship of a Muslim. Both of her parents have no problem with her choices. Yorubas are that liberal.

once again ,you are wrong. Personal choices are different from collective institutionalization.That Esther chooses to perform ablution is her personal choice which Christianity respects . however it's not the case with Islam. A muslim who chooses to renounce Islam is termed an apostate. Which is frowned upon seriously ,mind you she is in the north.
The core of our respective peace in Yoruba land is because we have always lived and cherished our secularism,that's is why you can have a Christian family member who wishes to take gulder or kasapreko drink without you bothering.its because no religion as been giving state backing. The day such happens ,we will start seeing the rift in the south west.ots common sense.let me give you an example. If your religion frowns against the use of alcohol ,and a law was instituted to reflect that.The ogun worshiper uses alcohol as part of it own religious activities and daily need.you have infringed on his Rights. I might decided to take alcohol for medicinal purposes,your religion is infringing ony right. Secularism is the best.Any country founded on religious basis would end up suppressing the rights of other. The yazzidi's were presecuted in Syria, also christians in Pakistani are suffering the same. All because they are the minority.
Secularism separates the state from religion.laws are made for the common good other people not on religious considerations. If you give christians the opportunity to make laws they will ensure they make that which is favourable to them.likewise the Muslims or the traditionalist. They only way is to ensure a secular state deviod of religious sentiment

I would appreciate it, if we can be objective on the issue
The question is ,if he was a pastor would he be called out , if he as shown bias .The answer is yes.
I would want him to come out and clarify this simple question based on his so-called debate between Boko Haram founder. and his preaching s
"Pantami, an Islamic scholar, according to Peoples Gazette, also once declared that he was always happy when infidels were massacred"

2. On the issue of western education
3. On the issue of leadership of such institution by Muslims or non Muslims
4.on democracy.

MrMaestro:
Exactly. That other guy is clearly a Fulani muslim extremist posing as Yoruba. Most Yorubas have muslims, christians, traditional religions in their families. It is by nature that Yorubas don't impose religious rules on each other, or your own family will suffer from it.

Leave them the day they start that would be the beginning of another breaking away inside a breakaway.

myobjective:
I'm a Yoruba Muslim and don't believe in the political sharia nonsense of northern Nigeria.

Yoruba irrespective of religion needs to continuously live together, forging a future where science and development can be brought to eradicate poverty.

The Yoruba will develop a secular nation devoid of any religious interference. We wouldn't allow the extremism of whatever faith to win.

you have spoken well. Any Yoruba nation that will succeed will have to be a secular one. Anything short of that would never succeed.

myobjective:
This your analysis doesn't reflect the reality on the ground but the question is why does it matter what demography of follower of both religions is more?

Who has carried out any sense to determine what faith has the largest follower?

Religion will continue to play the second fiddle in the life of the Yorubas no matter how hard extremist from both religions tries.

I'm from a town with a predominantly Muslim population and will still have relatives that are Christians. Live and let live is the true Omoluabi ethos. Religions will always play second fiddle no matter how hard the Pentecostal churches and Salafist element tries.

The reason we have such relative peace is because Sharia as not been introduced.We are seeing a dress rehearsal concerning the hijab situation in ilorin. Implent Sharia law in the southwest and see the age long omoluabi ethos shattered.
Disprove my analysis if am wrong. The only thing you can argue about is likely the %

femi4:
It's not compulsory but it's ok

The origin of "aso ebi" is to provide uniformity in identifying different groups of well wishers

Well wishers that would need to be gathered in a physical place.would would likely have travelled from far and wide to share in the joyous occasion. courtesy and hospitality demands they be given ordinary water.You want them to spend 20k on clothes for your occasion without even a bottle of water.why the invite in the first place. It's better you do the stuff on Zoom

Godoverevery:
My fiancee is attending a childhood friend wedding this Saturday....We are meant to attend together but it is no reception wedding.(boldly written on IV)

My question is it right to sell aso ebi for a wedding that has no reception because we had to cough out more than 20k for the lace/gele and bachelorette party material alone.

I am feeling this just a clever way to extort money from friends or am I wrong.

Why ask? When you know the answer to such .Ado ebi without a semblance of a reception smells fraud. The semo as to be made available

NoSentiment:
What is a civil law? If you really knew what civil law I'd about, u wouldn't have said this.

For ur info, shariah (law) has criminal (e.g murder) and civil (e.g inheritance) components. Read, read and read.

I have read enough to understand both. Eg consumption of alcohol is not a crime in civil law, but frown against in Sharia law despite contradictions as to it's consumption.

NaijirianKing:
It is actually a fact that Muslims are the silent majority in many states in the SW region, it is just that it is not widely publicized. Otherwise, how can many of the governors and state representatives be majority Muslims and the population not also be Muslims?

This was recently covered here:
https://businesspost.ng/general/muslims-form-majority-of-south-wests-population-muric/

Islam is the world's fastest growing religion and eventually it will be undeniable.

that is a lie .islam in not. There are more christians than Muslims in the west. The difference is that the Muslims tend to participate more in general Alhaji politics.
1. Lagos :even a blind man knows there are more christians than Muslims in lagos.even when you factor non indegenous settlers into the equation
2. Ogun state is also an example.
3 oyo is close with more Muslims than Christian around 10-15% difference in favour Muslims.
Osun has more christians than than muslims.but the Muslims are the northern part ,ikire, Oshogbo,ede omuaran have much muslim but also very sizeable Christian population,while Ilesha is predominantly christians coupled with ife down into ondo states
Ondo state &Ekiti state,:there are more christians in ondo and ekiti state. Infact they are over. 75%

NoSentiment:
Mr "Circular Law", educate ur self first b4 attacking Shariah or muslims.

he is not attacking Sharia. The fact is you can't have two laws within a country. Sharia law is not compatible with civil law. And that is a fact

Juliusmalema:
I love that

That true definition of sophistication.

Even Osun state, Oyo and Ogun needs needs sharia law as of present to carter for the increasing yoruba Muslims population...

What is the essence of having sharia in Kano when it can't be replicated in Osun that shares same faith and are almost 96% Muslims...

your info is totally wrong on osun it's evenly split,the northern most oshogbo part are more muslim while the southern ife/Ilesha axis are more christians. Any Yoruba nation created on the basis of religion will fail. Any new nation coming out of Nigeria must be secular for it to be viable. Otherwise we shall experience the same calamity presently evolving in front of us. There is no way you can practice Sharia in a mixed society.the southwest is mixed.everyone should be guaranteed their freedom to worship as long as it does not infringe the right of others. Eg. I need to move a sick patient to a hospital on a Friday and you decide to block the road for prays .or crusade would not be allowed . Koiki is just saying what he has little understanding about.

owobokiri:
These are things that need to be taught in schools, right from primary to the university. Very essential to change the narrative that our people were nothing but clans of "blundering homosapiens" before the coming of the white man, which is the narrative the oyibos educational curriculum left us with at independence. We had strong kingdoms and rulers and inventions here. Iron, bronze and gold carvings prove the existence of a relatively sophisticated productive activities before the colonial murderers came in here. Instead of wasting the time of pupils with teachings about Mungo Park discovering a river that has been here for ages, kids should be taught of their rich history, in order to foster confidence and original thinking amongst them.

Guy nothing existed as kingdom of biafra ,stop creating a fictitious reality that never existed

The Bauchi State Government, headed by the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Governor Bala Mohammed in a statement on Monday, disclosed plans of the state government to get rid of sex workers in the state by conducting a mass wedding for those of them who are ready to marry as soon as possible.

This is achievable when we conduct a head count for each of the sex workers in the state, it will enable us to have a dialogue with each and everyone of them and to know if they are ready to marry or not, he said.
Aminu Balarabe- Isah who is the Permanent commissioner in charge of Hisba and Sharia implementation disclosed this in a statement on Monday that the state government is concerned with the rising rate of sex workers in the state.

The number of women and young girls that are into sex for money keeps increasing on a daily basis, these are the mothers of tomorrow.

We conducted an investigation into the cause for this act, and we discovered that most girls and ladies in the business are into the business because of illiteracy, poverty, lack and want, abandonment by parents and maltreatment from step mothers, he said.

He also stressed on the need to discourage young girls and women from continuing in the business of prostitution as it is clearly not the way forward out of poverty.
Mr. Balarabe in a meeting with some of the sex workers in the state assured them of the government's monetary assistance in a bid to help them out of the business they are into.

He also disclosed to the Ladies that the government of Gov.Bala Mohammed is planning to empower as many sex workers in the state as possible.
"We have all of you in our agenda, and we want to see all of you succeed through this administration's initiative designed particularly for you".

The government plans to also marry you all off to good homes if you would like to be married, he said.

One of the sex workers who spoke on behalf of other sex workers Miss. Hafsatu Azare thanked the government of the state for having the sex workers in mind for good, and promised to quit the business if the state government will keep to the promises made.

Keep quiet,even in you schools in the east ,you were taught that. The British even acknowledge that , even other neighbouring nation state acknowledge it . So who are you ,a nonentity to say otherwise.

but agreed with others.
Selective amnesia

MelesZenawi:
Actually I have seen a thread like this earlier and this was not what was said. The topic was restructured because the body of the message is clearly different from the head topic.....So I wonder where the Op lift his head topic from.

Adebanjo said it clearly that it was Akintola that betrayed them


https://www.nairaland.com/5379926/echoes-1966-some-igbos-lying


It was a betrayal by Ladoke Akintola who alleged that some of us, who were dynamic in the party (Action Group) and had a relationship with Nkrumah who had a dynamic political party in Ghana, were planning to topple Balewa government

No be even today the betrayal started, the betrayal is wayback. Is inbuilt.

It was Akintola that betrayed Awolowo and was clearly written here.

It was the insistence of Chief Awolowo to keep the Eastern Region in the federation that made Gowon fight the war because Gowon was not prepared to allow the East to go


The unity begging no be today ooooo...it been long long.
Yorubas una too like unity die ooooo (Smilling)


That is why some westerners said we should not do anything with the East because they are not reliable. The Igbo have not been fair to us at all.


I disagree with Adebanjo here. You lied.
Igbos have been fair to yorubas right from ages but the reverse is the case.
The fairness of Igbos to yorubas can never be equalled or un-paralled in anyway.
But what we get in return is the reverse.
Adebanjo you lied here.

How suspected Fulani herdsmen killed, injured residents in Ebonyi – Police

THE police in Ebonyi State have explained how suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked, killed and injured residents of communities in Ishielu Local Government in the state.

State police spokesperson Loveth Odah confirmed the attack to The ICIR on Thursday during a telephone interview.

Odah said the attack took place on Monday night in Nkalaha, Obegu, Amazu, Nkalagu and Umuhuali autonomous communities.

She said although the police did not witness the attacks, villagers in the communities said the victims were attacked by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

She also disputed the death toll in the attack, saying that six persons had been confirmed dead while seven were critically injured, contrary to reports that 15 persons were killed by the suspected herders.

“We have only confirmed the death of six persons. Seven others were critically injured but are responding to treatment already,” Odah said.

When asked how the villagers were killed, Odah stated that the police found gunshot wounds on the victims.

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State condemned the attack when he visited the bereaved families to ascertain the level of damage by the assailants.

“We feel so sad that this kind of thing should happen in Ebonyi. We feel so worried for our country Nigeria and we are short of words.

“We condemn this attack because it is capable of causing very serious killings, if allowed to continue this way,” Umahi said.

The governor also appealed to the communities to remain calm and desist from reprisal attacks while charging security operatives to ensure that the perpetrators were brought to book.

What the police found

The state police command said an investigation had commenced into the killings and the Miyetti Allah Association in the state had been invited.

Police spokesperson Odah said the Miyetti Allah had also been asked to come along with all community heads of Fulani herders across the affected communities.

The police also confirmed that there had been a clash between the herders in the communities and the villagers that led to the expulsion of the herders to another community in a neighbouring community in Enugu State.

When asked if there were herders’ operations in the attacked communities, the police said, as of the time of the attack, the herders had already been expelled from the communities over a clash with the residents. She, however, noted that the cause of the clash had not been ascertained.

which kind post be this with so much repeats.
The fact is innocent people were killed in the most inhuman manner I have ever seen.And nobody is talking. Nigerian's are not talking, journalist are mute , people of ebonyi are strangely silent. Even those that tried reporting it just glance through,like waka pass roles in Nigeria movies. It babaric. Even after today the Governor would continue like nothing happened
