We won't even waste our Military men on these Niger people, Amotekun is enough for them.

Damilola you have started calling for war again. When it fails again, you will claim it's ECOWAS not you and Tinubu.

.
Las las Tinubu will get that war he and France has been looking for.
.

See how dry this post is. Even as it was sent to front page since yesterday. E still dey page 1.

Igbo is truly the life of the Nigerian party. Without them everything becomes dull and dry.

No one cares about the life and safety of non Igbos.

Trying to shift blames from the suffering engineered by the Tinubu regime, but instead making the sad events to be talked about more.

I'm sure they have created fake reasons for the stampedes, and only want the organizers to comply to the plot.

sheriffindy:
The killings in South East is too much

This one no follow abeg

I guess it was just livestocks that were butchered in this post, not Humans.

No form of violence at all.


Fullstop

There is a time for everything.

RemoveKebab:
Who noticed ever since the tax reform bill
Some folks are trying so hard to increase religious tension in SW so as to stagnate growth.

First the banner at lekki during festive period.
Now some folks want build sharia court in oyo.

I think the north has declared an hybrid war against SW
To get back at jagaban
SW should be vigilant the enemy is within.

Your fellow Yoruba are becoming more extremist by the day, but na politics and north you dey see for dream.

The extremism happening in southwest universities by Yoruba youths na also northerners abi. Smh

Nnamdipapa:
Kanu no smart at all.

Dude should have formed a political party at the heights of his popularity and would have captured the governorship, senate and house's seats in the entire south east.

That would have given him the power to negotiate for a separation from Nigeria.
The guy nor get sense walahi.

Tinubu started with forming a party and captured the SW with his political party before getting to where he is today.

Lol. Dreamer. They go just use small taste of money get all the reps

The Palestinian reps in the Israeli Knesset nko? And that's a political atmosphere that's relatively transparent. Talkless of the Nigerian one that's immersed deeply in corruption.

There is a reason why if you give politician small wahala, they will invite you to the table.

Not a fan of Nnamdi, but not joining the Nigerian polity was a good choice if he was genuine in his course.

Anybody thinking the way you just did is either naive, stupid, or knows what he's doing.

MrRichmond:
Makes me wonder how democrats often claim they're fighting for women, when they commute sentences of evil men responsible for killing little girls.

It's really funny.

Deflection and justification tactics in one.

To give the people what to talk about instead of his boy Hunter. And also to justify the pardon he granted his boy.

Pierocash:
lol, clown. He is showing Photoshop screenshot. Not even smart. Your governors are already holding emergency meeting on this, but you are here still living in delusion

It's not Photoshop. He trained his ai to give that response.

If more Yorubas start doing it, it will become the default response by llama ai

SmartPolician:
These SENSELESS Muslims keep doing to Christians with impunity what we cannot do to them. Our silence doesn't mean we are weak. They should go and ask of the crusaders.

Oga our silence means we are weak. Truth is bitter.

Dalohad:
Dem don tag everything 'Cyberbullying'.

When the Arab spring starts. Politicians and must remain here be ready to face the consequences since they want Nigerians to bottle up emotions and not ventilate their anger.

Blacks? Do something like Arab spring? LoL. Even slavery was stopped for us. Both in the West, and the slave dealers here.

A certain Tinubu was a slave trader and protested when slave trade was stopped in the West. Today a park is named after her, and an adopted son of hers is president.

Same family did slave trade, and also ventured into narcotics.

😂😂

From chief daddy to whatever, Naija movie na just to splash am with glam, and phoney accents.

There's one I'm actually looking for Shaa. I don't know the name but this is the plot.

Guy from Enugu who's in the US army, is to come home to marry his babe, who's Yoruba.

The guy's brothers and the girl go to market in Lagos where they get into a fight with a group of agberos. In the process, one of the thugs gets stabbed. He would later die at the hospital.

The victim's brother who is also a thug requests payment or he will take revenge. He gets his payment but still goes to Enugu with his guys and kidnaps the bride on the wedding day. He would later be killed and the bride rescued.

Note that mentioning tribe is just to make one remember, there was nothing tribalism in the movie. When the Igbo brothers are discussing, they use Igbo, likewise the Yoruba siblings. And that's normal in Nigeria.

If you know the name of this movie, tell me the name ejo, biko, abeg.

Some youth leaders brought in armed gangs to play local politics.

Local politicians brought in soldiers to school them on politics 101. LMAO

Make they no carry that their useless politics near my town. Cos na our neighbors be that. They don already carry their rubbish go for abatete and enugwu-ukwu last month.

Goodlyhrt:
Did you read Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie?

I'm supposed to portray an entire ethnic group, which I'm a part of, and in which region I actually live in, based on a fiction where the main character's father is a religious extremist just like yours, as religiously strict?

In your entire write up, you didn't even call out deeper life because you don't even have the balls to. You criticized your parents, your upbringing, but that religious group notorious for being excluding, and pretending to be righteous, you didn't say a word of criticism against them.

Seems you still have a long way to go in understanding and human character. You started late, but better late than never. Welcome to the real world. Learn fast.

Goodlyhrt:
My parents tried to raise us in the way that most Christian homes would go.. In the way of the Lord! And all the associated activities of going to Church all Sundays, ignoring all other associations as they are perceived as being unequally yoked with unbelievers. Adhering to all doctrines of the church no questions.

I was raised in this type of environment. In short my parents were staunch members of the Deeper Life Christian Ministries (DLCM) and all my formative years where under the doctrines and teachings of the church.

My parents and the Church taught me to put all my hope in the Lord in all situations and never to complain much because God will make a way even at the dieing minutes.

So I grew up weary of my non church going environment. I wouldn't find myself being a social animal that I am working aggressively hard on becoming nowadays.

So I made church friends, and went to church gatherings, church schools right until my secondary school days.

But there is a catch.

I watched my family falter and we lost everything we had. My father went down with diabetes around 2008 and nobody to help. He lost his carpentry workshop and showroom.. almost lost his life to the disease.

The Church, my church DLCM couldn't offer us good help because they too were individually waiting on the Lord too. So they offered us help but meager.

But that was the only gathering we knew and are aquatinted with.

No Umunna membership, ordinary friends gathering or in another word Friends club. Even market association, my parents never belonged to any of those.

We solely waited on the Lord and around 2011, my dad's diabetes was somehow controlled. Thanks to my Uncle in the village who came to our rescue by using herbs and leaves to help my dad. But not without enough convincing and lobbying from my uncle because my parents saw the help as being fetish of some sort.

In fact at that time we were not in talking terms with the said uncle because of his native practices. But at the end of the day he came to our rescue through the herbs he gave to my dad.

What I am saying is that my parents lifestyle of being too churchy in the way the raised us has been net detrimental in my life as a grown man and to my siblings too.

Talking about me. I didn't finish my education due to my dad's health and the fact that there's no one that could help me who my dad is aquainted with. My social skills is zero until recently. I didn't know how to deal with anybody outside talking about church related stuff and academic stuff I was lost.

So I am on this situation all thanks to my parents way of life of being too judgemental of everything not church related.

In short right now I don't how to keep a healthy relationship - you know calling to check up on someone, buying gifts, attending birthdays and all those stuffs that make knowing people interesting. I am just trying to pick these stuffs up from the street now.


And it hasn't helped in any way.

I think it has brought untold hardship to our lives in the sense that we suffer alone with no one to help. Not uncle's, not friends because we hardly make friends. In those days I wondered why no one visits my parents at home while all our neighbors hosted visitors almost all day especially on Sundays. Unless we are hosting Bible study session.

The simple truth is that no one should exist alone in this plane Earth. We were never built to survive alone and my parents and the church were all wrong.

So I stopped going to church totally. I hated my life how it has turned out and wish I could've made my own decisions earlier in life.

Of a truth I started dodging church activities very early in my teen years but I met stiff rebuttal from my dad. You know the "if I don't see you in church blah blah blah no school fees for you blah blah blah".

Because I started noticing something was off.

They said God answered prayers but I couldn't get answers to mine. I could remember one time in the DLCM camp ground. I prayed earnestly to be healed of my deformity, seeing that others got theirs and I was moved and cried sore for God to heal me. Even made promises to God if he proves his faithfulness. But it seemed the blessings from pastor Kumuyi would never get to me.

I was depressed and got angered.

Starting from then, my prayer life took a dive. Interest in the things of the church tanked.

Also my dad's ill fortune and how we suffered to eat most times during that time, made me question God and doubtful in everything.

In conclusion. We are never going to survive alone as species. We all need US in our lives.

I have started opening up to non church related associations lately. I even joined another church howbeit a modern church if you know what I mean. But now, I joined the church with a purpose. Not because I like going there but because I needed the connections there.

In the Bible it says that we should worship God with understanding but most non-orthodox denominations don't understand a thing.

My message to everyone.

Go out there and be aquainted with your fellow humans. Don't listen to religion and its backwater ideologies because we can't survive alone.

Join a political party, know some force men and become friends. Go to events with the sole aim of meeting new people.

Attend seminars and be active in the society.

A little appraisal of the Yoruba people. In the way some of them practice the Abrahamaic religion. They don't go overboard like the Northerners because of Islam or as strict as the Easterners, my people, in the way they practice Christianity. I stayed in Lagos for upto six years and I was initially confused in the way they practiced the Abrahamaic religions but now I understand better and I am in love with their way in that aspect.

Lastly be wise in your association with people. I.e. avoid secret societies or cult groups because although they'd promise you protection but it's all a lie.

I want to add this.

I learnt this from a pastor.

He said that the reason why Africa is suffering and is in great poverty is because we don't have more partnership businesses.

People have really nice business ideas but no one to sponsor them because African people are not inclined to form partnership so they don't know how to handle it.

In Europe or "the West", many people live off their investment in numerous business partnerships. No matter how little the business they invest in it and get it working good and then get ROI. Even when they are not actively employed or run their own personal business. But they are getting ROI from the investment in other people's businesses.

I think this is true though.

Sorry for the long read.

You were raised in a deeper life family. It is the denomination that practices strict Christianity regardless of ethnicity. If you don't understand that by now, you still have a long way to go.

Don't join that strictness with Igbo people please. Daalụ (meaning thank you).

Proudlyngwa:
Good for them

Niger has been disrupting Nigeria via Bandits influx so that they can send in Agricultural products here.

One of my close Pals Dauda a shoe maker told me about the hatred his brothers have for Tinubu that Business is not flourishing like before, that nothing will make him go back to Niger, that things are better there but unless you are huge, you only labour for others.

My other shoemaker ismaila and my tailor Haruna for the last two years no where to be seen.

Feudalism.

Common in Niger, Chad, Northern Cameroun, Northern Nigeria, and Southwest Nigeria.

The further south each of these regions is from the Sahara, the better chance it's had to wean itself off of feudalism. But the traces remain in the culture, and traditional organizational structure.

Why must we go around with too much cash, when opay transaction is so cheap

Sometimes I don't like when suggestions that makes it easier for the people are made on issues like this. Especially when these suggestions appear on page one.

Tinubus people are monitoring and soon they will come for opay and co

Englishisamust:
Let me help u to interpret what you said very well.

"Jesus Christ is not God but (Allah, Chineke, God, Olorun, Jah, dieu) is not God. They are both characters made up by mischievous people.

Note:
Allah is God in Arabic language
Olorun is God in yourba language
Chineke is God in igbo language
Dieu is God in French language
Jah is God in Jamaican language.
If you are going by that logic God is not God...

You are wrong.

Allah is not God in Arabic. The Arabic word for god is illah.

The fact that Islam supplants that word for god in any culture it takes over doesn't make it the Arabic word for God.

Muslims say "I believe that there is no god/God but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet". By your own logic, if Allah means god, doesn't it imply that they are saying there is no god but God?

Again how is it possible that hausa people and Arabic people will have the same word for god?

Muslims supplant that word, In Nigerian schools, little kids are taught, Igbo call God Chukwu, Yoruba call god Oluwa, Hausa call God Allah. An obvious sign of a conquered people.

Once again you are wrong. The Arabic word for god is illah.

LivingSage:
Go home and ask your parents to tell you the history of Okotako hotel in Imo State.

Ask your uncles about the okija shrine in Ihiala LGA Anambra where hundreds of dead bodies was discovered and close to hundreds (60-80) were headless (mutilate).

Ask your aunty to tell you about governor Theodore Orji if Abia who was caught almost naked on tape performing ritual at okija shrine.

That of IPOB Terrorists cannibalism is not far for u to remember, I'm reminding you.

After that, come back here and delete the nonsense you've written here

At least you can highlight specific cases. You even had to go back decades in order to point out one.

But Una own too much, so much that as you're highlighting a specific case, a dozen more are occurring.

Malroux:
A blatant lie. It has always been part of Yoruba culture even before Awolowo.

Awolowo was actually the lawyer that defended the useless ọbá in court. SMH

SeverusSnape:
Thanks to "Hunger".

They don't know the level of hunger in the land, People will go to extremes just to feed. It's so unfortunate what this government has turned Nigerians into.
Like Zombies looking for fresh blood to feast on. Rest in peace kids.

Exactly. I'm rewatching The Walking Dead, and that's the image that entered my head immediately I saw the title of this thread.

You no know say hunger dey?

Dem no dey give public invite like that anymore.

Wetin happen don happen. Learn your lessons.

DrChukki:
These old men don't deserve this kind of treatment... Let alone leading to their death

One of them even presented himself to the army for investigation

Besides, these are men that can never run away... I know they will always be available to aid the military with investigations... Keeping them in detention and subsequently them passing away is something everyone should condemn

I know this nation won't be quiet if this had happened in the north...

Imagine, House of Reps are summoning the military because they detained a Miyeti Allah leader, whose men attacked a retired soldier...

Certainly, Nigeria is 2, North and South

North is united, unfortunately South is Divided for reasons we don't even know

We all know the reason south is divided. And we are divided along that line. Yoruba vs other southerners.
