was Kwara state ever in the western region? The answer is no!

Sirleo05:
My Yoruba brothers and sisters in the house, pls don't be offended by me asking this question. Is this how you guys behave or is it just wole soyinka double standard view. My point is, soyinka could not condemn this government handling of security way he condemned previous government. Is it b'cos the president is Yoruba?

Biodun556:
Then go back to your region stop chest beating

President Tinubu in Deep Sleep During High-Level Security Meeting

I litteraly wept when I saw this trending picture online yesterday. I saw a sleeping president during a very high level security meeting. In a nation bleeding daily from insecurity, where families are torn apart by kidnappers, bandits, and terrorists, Nigerians expect vigilance, strategy, and unwavering alertness from those sworn to protect them. But what we continue to witness is the opposite — a leadership slipping into slumber while the country slips into chaos.

A widely circulated image has captured what appears to be President Tinubu dozing off during a high-level security briefing — a moment that symbolizes the broader failure Nigerians feel every single day. Whether metaphorical or literal, the message is painfully clear: the leadership is asleep while the nation burns.

At a time when citizens in Plateau, Kaduna, Niger, Zamfara, and other states cannot sleep with two eyes closed… the Commander-in-Chief seems to be resting comfortably behind heavy security and air-conditioned walls. At a time when parents live in fear of sending their children to school, the nation’s top security meeting appears to be treated like a casual afternoon lounge.

What Nigerians demand is not a president who nods off — but a president who stands up to insecurity with urgency, innovation, and decisive action.

This is not the era for tired eyes.
This is not the era for passive leadership.
This is not the era for excuses and empty rhetoric.

This is the era for relentless leadership, for strategic intelligence, for boots on the ground, for drones in the sky, for investments in police modernization, and for a total overhaul of the nation’s security architecture.

If the President himself appears fatigued during a crucial meeting, what signal does that send to the security chiefs seated before him? What message does that send to millions of Nigerians whose lives depend on the outcome of that very discussion?

A nation cannot be safe when its leadership is asleep at the wheel.

As activists, as citizens, as humans with a conscience, we raise our voices once again:
Nigeria deserves a leader who is alert, awake, and aligned with the urgency of our reality.
The people are awake.
The victims are awake.
The grieving families are awake.

It is time for the leadership to wake up too — before the country slips beyond recovery.

Gbonka the man that drove out Alaafin Sango from the capital was Ebira

Christistruth00:
It is very Obvious that you know nothing about Yoruba and Egbira History

Successlane:
Colossal lies from the deepest pit of HELL !!!!



Massive distortion of history and facts

Christistruth00:
The Egbira and the Yoruba were strong allies against the Jihadists
The cordial and close relationship between the Yoruba and Egbira was developed during that period

In Yorubaland both Egbira and Igala are not treated as foreigners but as Yorubas
Igala was also part of the Pre colonial alliance with the Yoruba against the Jihadists

DomPerignon:
The narrative is wrong because Ebiras have always been Muslim and the history of their settlement dates to them being a mercenary force from Chad whom the Fulani recruited to overthrow the kanuri empire.

When the Fulani jihad failed, the Ebira mercenaries were drafted further south to overrun Benin.

The Bini kingdom resisted that onslaught.

The campaign to overrun Bini soil was jettisoned and after Uthman don Fodio's death that coincided with British war on Bini kingdom, the jihad was abandoned and the Ebiras settled were they are now.

How can the same people you claimed resisted Islamization only to end up overwhelmingly Muslim?

How did they convert to Islam within a very short period ?

DomPerignon:
So if the islamization failed during the Fulani jihad era, how come Ebiras are now over 90% Muslims?

Did they convert during peacetime ?

Your assertion makes no sense.

Babalegba:
Lol, lazy arse fiction. Try truth for once. Ibadan and Ijaye defeated the fulanis at the battle of Oshogbo in 1840 and it was a comprehensive victory that stopped the spread of Islam in yorubaland. Why would ibadan help their enemies to islamize another tribe. Google is your friend.

DomPerignon:
Total rubbish.

The Ebiras originally are from Chad and were recruited by Fulani jihadists to take over Kanuri land but they failed .

The land they occupy now was a military cantonment in preparation of invading the Benin Empire but the mighty Bini warriors chased them away.

Stop spewing trash you don't know.

swuftz:
Exactly. And to shock you, it is not Nigeria. And it can never be Nigeria. No true Nigeria, Christian or Muslim, herbalist or Atheist must gloat over the issue of insecurity in Nigeria nor give support tactically or direct to foreigners trying to dismember or call us names that doesn’t belongs to us. We are all brothers and if the time comes for us to part it will be done amicably.

WizardOfNG:
Tuggar is a thoroughbred diplomacy professional excellent at his job. I have listened to him many times and I rate him highly.

I am therefore not surprised he put this repellent and ignorant woman in her place. They all know the prejudices in their hearts, with their respective nations very troubled and with need of urgent interventions, that makes them to now be obsessively focused on Nigeria.
Do you see how muslim Sudan have been left to their fate? That's how you guys will be left with the Fulanis after Nigeria is divided. May no Christian country ever hear your cries that time.


They even wheeled out the secular, hedonistic and totally unchristian Nicki Minaj, because she is a black 'tool' needed for use against the biggest black nation on Earth, with a prepared speech, to act as their Christian poster child to justify demonisation of Nigeria ala "give a dog a bad name". Why did not not nominate Taylor Swift to speak about "Christian Genocide" in Nigeria?

These are the sort of moves that demonstrate their desperation we have seen before.

Same way they used propaganda to justify the destruction of Iraq, Libya etal they had designated "Axis of evil" nations.

We are not fools and not uneducated. We see what is going on an that is what Tuggar is insistent on.

Holluwhakemmy:
Kanu is one of the terrorists disturbing the peace and people of the nation hands don touched him. Continue with your prayers

Guestmale:
Evil is evil both terrorists and hard drug traffickers are enemies of humanity.

Holluwhakemmy:
It's better at times to call a spade a spade instead of parabulating, you know your people are guilty yet you refused to condemn them but you preferred to blame others for it.
It's well with you

Jayhome24:
We all knew they are the one that dd it. When their Emperor Mr Lamba sneakily went to US to meet the Republican demons a week later they started genocide and invading threatened.

One thing I know is that at the end of this issue some people will suffer. Una no wan hear word ba? Eyes go turn una.

Ikaeniyan0:
Do you just sit in your house and search the internet for bad news in Yoruba land? 🫤

Peterobiisathie:
Thailand will kill him definitely
But why are you guys stu**orn?

KosiGee:
Isn’t this man the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land?
I thought Aare Ona Kakanfo meant Field Marshall or at least General of the Army of Yoruba?

Does this title mean something else?? If he’s the topmost military commander of the Yorubas, why is he asking Trump to come and help?
