The northerners will just be laughing at both the idiotic yorubas and Igbos showing their stupidity here.

Rilwayne001:
It has always been, the problem is with the leaders. In the first place the regions shouldn't have been merged into an entity. Evidently, the difference between the tribes differs so much that they cannot be intertwined, but for the sake of greediness and lord knows the reason, we were merged which in turn have always resulted in hate and enmity from all side.

Seeing those graphics pics up there, seriously my heart bleeds. Why do we take delight in violence? No matter we can always settle things amicably if the marriage was true, but because it's fake and has always been, small kerfuffles escalates to bigger violence.

I can't blame any tribe for what happened in Ile-ife because we don't know what prompted it, but how the two sides managed it is what is giving me concern.

From the sketchy reports so far, obviously the Hausa man that slapped the woman was totally wrong. And you know too well that no other tribe can try such a thing anywhere in the northern part of the country and come out alive. I'm very certain if reverse had been the case, the violence would have totally gotten out of hand, but then the NuRTW that retaliated have always been known to be troublesome sets of people, if not,normal sane person would have gotten the man that slapped the woman arrested and the justice would've been meted out with shedding any blood.

The whole point here is that, the hate is obvious among us all. yoruba have always been cool-headed among other tribes in the country and its obvious they are tired of taking shit from anybody again. And trust by the time we all stand up that we are tired of the union, it will happen without any problem whatsoever.

The hate is real and its time to go. Division is imminent.

You have made some valid points. The division is imminent. But guess what? Which people go up and down causing havoc from NW, NE, NC down to SS, SE and SW? we all know them. They are the trouble makers from the north who derieve joy in anarchy. Can a yoruba man or any other person try such today in the north? We know what will happen. Everyone is getting fed up.

sarrki:
Smell the coffee sister MI

The whole noise about this is to pitch one region against the other

Just for the hatred of buhari

Which to me loyalty to my people is no 1

I thought you were sensible today but it shows that you derieve joy in being deliberately dumb. Pucnh is a media of the SW and they carried the news yet you are attacking igbos? Are you mentally sane at all? Mtchhhw

wristbangle:
I know that some jobless people will turn this thread to Afonja and Ugu "Konfu" but na their problem be that.

Someone in Ife told me if not for the timely intervention of security operatives, the casualties would have been more on the Hausa communities by angry mobs who has already killed up to 5 of them. The place is now calm sha.

Wristbangle i know you to be more realist than the unreal yorubas here but am disappointed today. Guess what? The first person that turned it to a tribal warfare is no other than your fellow yoruba brother called sarrki. He is the second to comment. See his post below and leave innocent people out of your mess;

sarrki:
Why is it that a particular region wants to show there is problem among the others

They should grow some balls

It can happen anywhere

Jabioro:
This something that had to do with life and death, Pressure have come from both right and left, everyone has to rise to the occasion..

Sometimes last year, everyone from all angles of delta state was ready to fight these fulani herdsmen permenently. Okowa was the one using the police to intimidate that we shouldnt fight but ensue for peace. How can you have peace with people that are not ready for peace?

Jabioro:
The state government need not to waste time before it commence full blown investigation..

The only annoying thing is that okowa na confirm mumu. He no go do anything. We in delta need to act fast

unclejb2:
I'm sure it's that same helicopter that was delivering supplies to Boko Haram in Sambisa forest during the administration of Jonathan Goodluck

Stop being fo0loish. The same thing was said in southern kaduna. These guys are on a mission.

sarrki:
Then we are not safe

Thank God you are using your brain today. See what is already happening in Ife. We need to wake up because these guys are on a mission.

What? In my state?

Deltans why have we allowed these miscreant to settle in delta state like this? Why are we giving them so much power? We need to arise and fight these fulani menace to extinction or else na serious wahala.

Wake up Niger deltans.

There has been so much division since Buhari entered into power. I hope the yorubas are learning. These people from up north, especially the fulanis are blood thirsty people who go about looking for trouble. Imagine coming to cause trouble in your own spiritual land. Tufiakwa

Abeg where are the Christians that are praying because all I see are Muslims

ZarZar:
Ugh. Whatever. Quite frankly I've given you enough of my time. Go yank a generator or something!

Stale, old and repeating the same thing.

If I repeat mine by saying that my generator is on my land unlike you guys that own no land, you will feel bitter.

ZarZar:
I know what I said. I wasn't including you Same old regurgitated rubbish I see. Let me tell you something since you like bringing up the same subject over & over again. It didn't take whites 23 years to build economic leverage/land ownership & it sure will not take us that to equal them, if the aim is to do things the right way. This may be a joke to you but as I told you in another thread, South Africans are making strides while you're busy going backwards. We're already boasting 1 black billionaire in the Forbes list & many will certainly come since we already have millionaires amongst us. All that happened in less than 23 years. 23 years from now, the change will even be greater. You tell me, what have YOU achieved since your own independence? Btw, I'm this () to dismissing you. You bore me with your repetitive posts.

I can sense butt hurt.

The truth is bitter right. One of the greatest thing Nigerians have achieved since independence is that our land is 100% owned by us. As for you black south Africans we all know that you guys are still slaves even after independence that's why the whites own you people. If I was to ask you what you guys have achieved, you will only mention what the white south Africans did, nothing you black south Africans achieved.

BTW I didn't repeat my post if you didn't show up only when your fellow black African brothers are involved but keep dumb when it involves whites

ZarZar:
A point of correction, I'm on Nairaland not because of South Africa vs Nigeria topics. As a matter of fact, I let many such topics slide because I don't expect to find anything worthwhile in them. Any time you see me commenting I must either be bored or in a fighting mood. Shrugs. Other than that, I don't really care

Yeah, you are always bored when a topic that involves your black brothers killing fellow Africans that's why you are always available but when it involves the whites killing your own people, you become very busy at that time you won't even see the thread. Truly cowardice is in your DNA.

ZarZar:
Yeah, it's because of "our masters". Are you happy now? Nonsense!

Nope, your masters. They still own your country till date and there is nothing you cowards can do

ZarZar:
Somehow this whole exchange doesn't sound very believable because at the end of the day, it's still a job & a certain level of professionalism is required, minus personal opinion. Audio or I don't believe it.

You won't believe since it doesn't involve your white masters. Now you can come out and talk trash. When it involves your masters you all become mute and hide in silence. Bunch of Cowards.

ZarZar:
Dude, you're not in charge of when & how much I talk. I saw your mention for what it is, a bait & I made a conscious decision not to entertain it. What you think of us I could really care less. It's your opinion. Everyone has one.

Now that it involves your masters in slavery you now remember to control what you say. If you cared less you won't even be on Nairaland.

But sarrki the zombie patriot will be fighting GEJ up and down

ZarZar:
Stop projecting.

Is that all you have to say? Now that your white masters are involved you become short of words. Honestly you guys are cowards and a disgrace to Africa.

stormybucci:
This is the story of a poor African slave who was abused by shameless Europeans for her massive buttocks and used as a circus animal.

Sara Baartman was abused and used as a circus animal by Europeans

On 29 October 1810, Saartjie “Sara” Baartman, a nineteen year old Khoisan woman signed a contract to be taken from Cape Town to London to be exhibited for entertainment purposes. Though she was illiterate, history allegedly claims she signed the contract with an English ship surgeon named William Dunlop who was a friend to Pieter Willem Cezar and Hendrik Cezar. Pieter Willem Cezar had bought Sara Baartman as a slave at sixteen and she worked for Pieter’s brother, Hendrik. It was here that she was named Saartjie, the Dutch form of Sara.

The history of colonialism was so unfair to her that she was stripped of her identity and her bodily integrity. Her story is the full representation of the evils of a hybrid of colonialism, slavery, racism and sexism. The Europeans even disrespected her humanity to the extent of displaying her brain, skeleton and sexual organs in a Paris museum until 1974. She only got a dignified burial almost two centuries after her death, in 2002.

The woman who lost everything…even her name
Sara Baartman was born to a Gonaquasub group of the KhoiKhoi in 1789 at the Gamtoos River which is found in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Her first major loss was that of her mother who died when Sara was just two and her father, a cattle driver died when she reached adolescence. She got married to a Khoikhoi drummer and had a child together. The child died soon after.

Death

With the coming of colonialism, came conflicts between the natives and the settlers. Her husband was murdered by the Dutch colonists, her first loss to a system that would take her life from her. After working for the Dutch in Cape Town, she allegedly signed the contract which would take her to London to perform. What made her special? BBC says she had what was called “steatopygia”, resulting in extremely protuberant buttocks due to a build-up of fat.

What she had, most women can only dream of but at this point, the Europeans were eager to gobble up anything that asserted their superiority and somehow, Baartman was used in that narrative. They used her as a confirmation of the dark skinned people’s inferiority; their insatiable appetite for sex as shown by the size of their buttocks and their Instruments. Promoters even described her genitals as resembling the skin that hangs from a turkey’s throat.

Baartman was first displayed in Piccadilly where descriptions of her treatment reported how she was exhibited on a“stage two feet high, along which she was led by her keeper and exhibited like a wild beast, being obliged to walk, stand or sit as he ordered”. The Guardian rightly says, “The crowd viewed her as little different from an animal.” Like an animal, she was sold four years later to Paris where she was under the control of a wild animal exhibitor in a travelling circus. That she was now a part of his “show animals” leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It is in Paris that Napoleon’s surgeon, George Cuvier saw her and developed a “scientific interest”.

His idea of science was proving the superiority of the white people. In fact, he described Sara’s movements as having“something brusque and capricious about them that recalled those of a monkey”.Men like Cuvier propounded the idea of a Homo Sapiens Monstrous; more ape than human, devoid of the intelligence and emotional capabilities the whites were endowed with.
The Edinburgh Review in 1863 is famed for writing,“There is no vast difference between the intelligence of a Bosjesman and that of an oran-utan, and that the difference is far greater between Descartes or Homer and the Hottentot than between the stupid Hottentot and the ape.”Such depiction of Africans (particularly the Khoisan) as the most developed ape but least developed human was common.

When Baartman died of what is presumed to be pneumonia, syphilis and alcoholism, George Cuvier made a plaster cast of her body before dissecting it. Her preserved brain and genitals were placed in jars and displayed at the Museum of Man in Paris. They were only removed in 1974 and she got a proper burial 187 years after her death. Her story is so emotional that when the world heard of Beyonce’s plan to write and star in a movie based on Baartman’s life, there was a massive backlash.

Jean Burgess, a chief from the Khoikhoi group Baartman hailed from is on record for saying Beyonce lacked“the basic human dignity to be worthy of writing Sara’s story, let alone playing the part”.

Similarly, a Kim Kardashian photo-shoot which mimicked contemporary drawings of Baartman was widely criticised. The looks of black women are a thing of politics with body-shaming and commodification forming the lens through which they are viewed.

Baartman probably suffered the worst forms of subjugation and dehumanisation at the hands of Europeans. This culture of using looks to perpetuate black women oppression should come to an end. Baartman’s story should not be re-enacted in modern society two centuries after her unfortunate death.

So the whites turned a black south African to be a circus slave while people like zarzar and MPSA still worship the white men till date and fight their fellow black brothers .

deandavid:
We? maybe i should explain. there are two kinds of Niger Deltans, the ones who celebrate criminality, mediocrity, thuggery and thieves these ones are in the helm of affairs in the Niger Delta states and the second are the ones who truly desire to see that criminals are brought to book, those who do not celebrate the likes of Ibori, Uduaghan, Wike and co, these are the Niger Deltans that love to see PMB back . I am an Uvwie man. I proudly voted for PMB.

Yoruba muslim

I am from delta state. Urhobo /Isoko to be precise . We don't love Buhari that has inflicted more pains on all of us. A man that doesn't wish us well.

Qmerit:
I still laugh at you.
The point is PMB is the vp that is the point right?

Is Buhari not on vacation since January? Is the term vacation president VP not valid since he refused to talk to the people who he supposed to lead since he went on vacation?

Oge wants to destroy her career with that stupid thing she did

GameGod:
Define terrorism for us.

Are you a Yoruba Muslim?

Qmerit:
Hehehehe retarded. So you don't take off your dress b4 taking your bath? Life is in stages ok, if not for GEJ who appointed him as one thing tell me who will know him and make cry over election that was held 2yrs back? Incase u don't know his pain is called wailing symptom. And you keep wailing in the right direction not wrong one like this.

Baseless argument. Whether GEJ appointed him or not is not the issue. Focus on the points he raised and debate with those points if you can instead of talking off point and yarning dust simply because you don't have anything concrete to say.

Qmerit:
Madness.. what was this guy really advising GEJ then?, cause he has never for once impressed me.

This is why you guys are referred to as zombies. You always go back to the past instead of looking ahead. Visionless people. Mtchhhhww

God is with Pastor Adegboye, as for the other person, I comment my reserve

Opakan2:
See as Igbo politicians come quiet like say dem no dey exist.. ride on Jagaban of Africa

you are a big coward. Face the northerners that confronted Thiefnubuu and leave the igbos alone

aljharem:
It is time for the South to unite behind Tinubu. I know it sounds absurd but trust me if we don't we will regret it. The North has always used the south, it is time we use the North to move this country forward.

I don't like Tinubu but at this Junction, we need to think ahead.

sarrki:
As usual they will soon bombard you

So you want us to rally behind Tinubu but you open your dirty mouths to be insulting GEJ who is from the south too. Sometimes I wonder how you guys think. He that stays in glass houses don't throw stones.

Osinbanjo is a failure like his master Buhari the dullard
