Where in my post did I imply that? I don't believe they involve in human sacrifice, it's just scare tactics to dissuade people from staying out late during the festival. If they were sacrificing humans, there would been an uproar by now

So what do they do with people captured during the Oro festivals?

It's not Law enforcement that is harrasing the residents. It's the government Touts popularly called urchins.

Sanwo should note that we are smart. We understand the problem. He clearly is trying to avoid trouble by not mentioning the real culprits.

Who is harrasing people at Mushin and Oshodi?

What is your wife selling till past 10 in the night? You're residents of the community so there's no way you won't be aware that there's oro going on, shouldn't that have made your wife more conscious of her movements? This is utter carelessness and lack of respect to the community's customs and traditions. Don't try it again next time. This is for your safety not because you care about archaic customs

Is Human sacrifice now acceptable?

I noticed most people are on the side of the Extortioners.

What has happened to the Omoluabi? Looks like they now side with everything negative!

On another thread, were a woman was almost used for Oro rituals, the people blamed the woman for been on the road instead of asking questions about human sacrifice.

Someone said it's culture.

What baffles me is how we don't see our shortcomings. Human sacrifice been promoted because it's the Yorubas that practice it? If it's other tribes, the people say it's bad.

God help us

Why are our people fixated on bridges? Why not modern gauge railways? Why not Ports? Why not built interstate federal roads?

Who messed up with our brains?

Maynman:
Nicene Christianity is from Judaism.
What i said about yahweh is also true. It was his father EL, that gave him israEL as inheritance, as you said he is the of israel no more than that.
Abraham father was also a pagan who practiced divination.
What you said about alalh is wrong.
Allah and elohim means same thing that comes Semitic languages.

Wikipedia as reference? Haha! This could have bee written by an enemy. Can you cite any reference from the Bible to support your position?

Maynman:
God of Christians is called yahweh, Israelite god, son of El and asheera.

The God of Christians is called Yahweh. He is the God of Israel. He is not the son of El and Asheera.

What I said about Allah is true. We know that Qurayshi were pagans. Even Mohammeds father Abdullah was a pagan who practiced divination.

NairalandMD:
4: same Allah in arabic is the same Jehovah in jewish, it's all sounds different according to our languages

Christians and Muslims don't serve the same God. The God of Islam is call Al-Lah. Al-Lah means, the god Lah. Lah is the moon � god. He is the chief god among the 360 gods in the Kabba. He has 3 daughters called Manat, Uzzat and Allat.

OsunOriginal:
There is nothing personal or selfish about developing your community and saving your people from an impending disaster after all it is a Nigerian community and the people there are Nigerians. If you don't do it, who will? Why do you have representatives in government from your state, LG, etc? Isn't it to ensure your interests are protected? So, you expect a lawmaker representing Gudu/Tangaza constituency in Sokoto or Jonathan's VP (who is from Kaduna) to be the one fighting for the ecological problems in Otuoke?

The keyword is to the exclusion of others. What that term means is that, they can fix their communities but not to the exclusion of others,

Sanwo-Olu is doing massive works in Lagos.

georgeakins:
Stop lying.

OBJ and GEJ stole massively.

I said OBJ and GEJ are exemplary in not using public funds to develop ONLY their communities.

Read with understanding.

OP the right thing to do is not to use public office for personal benefit. By not using public office to develop their own communities to the exclusion of other communities, OBJ and GEJ showed that they are exemplary.

Unfortunately, politicians of Northern extraction use public resources to build their own communities to the exclusion of others. Thus, making people like OP to be somewhat right.

Where do I stand since its like this? I support politicians of Southern extraction concentrating infrastructural projects in the South, while engaging in human capital projects in the North. This is how I see things.

Redesigning the notes is unneccesary.

Looks like Emefiele is trying to do something for people to say "when he was CBN governor, he redesigned the notes".

This does not make sense. The legacy that he should leave is single exchange rate and single digit inflation.

ecolime:
I've always said we blacks are the true racists (Tribalists in our case).

No South Easterner will willingly sell land to a Yoruba man. Same way some of my people don't wanna vote for competency because of tribalism.

Never heard that a Yoruba man in SE wanted to buy land but was not sold to.

On the contrary, Igbos have to double the payment for rent and land to get it in SW.

Lets even look at the current attacks on Igbos in Lagos. My Pastor and many of our people were threatened by MCs' thugs for wanting to cast his vote in 2019.

This only happens in the SW.

Khadija won in far away Canada.

Can she win in states outside her state of origin in Nigeria?

This is heart breaking!

Let them go on strike for 1 month. We the masses fully support them.

Someone in NIN must have given the perpetrators the machines. Non-nontherners in the security service should investigate and prosecute the officers, or else, it will be swept under the rug.

Nigerians and hypocrisy.

It is okay for government officials to give it "hot-hot" to people who insult them , but its not okay for bank workers to be rude even in when they are assaulted.

Nigerians and their weird judgements.

Obi should please remove the General immediately.

Hope the government will take on Cameroun for realising water from the Dam to destroy Nigeria.

And I hope Mr President is not seeing from "it is not our northern people" perspective.

Pat081:
hmmmm they too are thieves give them money table will change and they are looking for what to eat just like suchp or what did they call themselves I know P is in their name

Hmmm.
If you call EiE thieves, you need to provide evidence. For them to have the support of MacArthur Foundation, it shows they are accountable.

We should support young people like EiE fighting for a better Nigeria. I believe every reasonable Nigerian wants a better Nigeria.

A Nigeria where no one will capture the national treasury or use thugs to extort hard working Nigerian or exclude people from thr political process due to their ethnicity or religion or ignore the serious security challenges faced by the country so as not to offend people.

EiE is shaking the table.

The person that ticks all those boxes is BAT.

OP, you spoke well.

I have one in my former hood that kills the biggest ram during Ileya. He has built a mansion in Ikorodu now.

I have another one that came from Ibadan, picked up 2X2 wood and started collecting money at a junction in my neighbourhood. No one could resist him becuase the average Lagosian has been traumatized to the point that he sees these things as normal. It is not normal.

This is Lagos and this is how we live. Anyone can be a tout in Lagos.

The qualification is to know how to be violent, smoke hemp, wear dirty clothes. You dont even need to have reference, your reference is the number of scar on your body. Watch this documentary by BBC:

One was there to protect ISIS while the other was there to fight terrorists

One country, two constitutions. One for the fools another for the wise and strong.

Glory to the strong and wise north.

Bash92:
The parental failure can not be generalised to be of a thing in all Yorubaland. If there is indeed then I dare to say that it is worse in other southern parts of the country compared to the west.

I have not really lived among the Northerners to have an opinion about them.

I may have generalized here. The issue of out of wedlock children is now very common. An entire lineage filled with touts. I grew up among one such agbole.

I hope the issue is taken serious. I hope the situation is not same elsewhere, I am only speaking where I live.

I grew up in an "agbole" filled with an entire lineage of hemp sellers and touts. Singl

FaceTanke:
When one person will have 20 wives, 100 kids nko

Which house wan contain them

Is a religio-cultural practice similar to that of the Spartans.

It ought not to continue in this century.

irunoko:
I don't like the way teni was glorifying thuggery and hailing MC oluomo in her song.i was irritated because if she knew the history of oshodi and MC oluomo she will be disgusted by the likes of MC oluomo.lagos kids need to know their history, MC oluomo is not in anyway a model or worth being a model because of his past antecedents.hes just a street criminal in the early 90s who the APC led Administration empowered and decorated for their political interests.

Teni knows what she was doing. The average Yoruba man like his thugs. Their is parental failure in Yorubaland. It is a very big issue not yet acknowledged.

Occult pastors

What about punishing the offending officers? I did not see it in that Tweet. Its not sufficeint to retrieve the victims money.
