I took my time to read the very long piece. Now I am satisfied and comforted that there still learned and intelligent Yorubas who are ready to say the truth the way it should be. As an Igbo, I would henceforth desist from condemning every Yoruba because earlier I was wondering why all of them just turned tribalistic to vilify and attack innocent Igbos despite the fact that northerners and some Yorubas were planning a protest which Igbos exempted themselves from. Instead of facing the northerners, all of them started to attack Igbos.

The OP is not a true Yoruba..

See let me educate you on why Yorubas won't ever trust Igbos.. during EndSars protests, Igbos in the North hid inside their homes, didn't go out to burn properties in Kaduna, Kano or Katsina whereas the ones in Lagos entered Streets to start burnings BRT buses, buildings, state-of-the-art facilities etc., acting on orders of Kanu, Mefor etc. all Igbo men issuing orders to IP0bs to burn down everything in Lagos and burn Yoruba properties.
Had it been you're a Yoruba, you'd know how painful such brazen confrontation was..

Our people have spoken.. no Igbos should be seen proetsting on the Streets of Lagos. Let everyone go back to their home region to protest.

Stage is set for showdown with arsonists and criminals parading themselves as protesters..

In the wordings of those traditionalists, they are praying for death on any outsider coming to protest and destroy properties on their soil.

Both the indigenes and Government of Lagos State are fully prepared for the miscreants.. na this one go be una end, should any thing get detroyed in Lagos.

IGBOs are doing sit at home...

Do your sit at home ..can you?

Hunger will use your intestines for goat rope.

All these Osun,Oyo, KWARA deportees sef

RONU

Who da fvck are you to tell me what to do?.. I care less about what Igbos do or don't do.

All we are saying is don't come to Lagos to display rage.. go to your home region to display whatever amount of rage that's eating you up.

Goodvibes007:
You dey mind the clowns.

If Igbos don't want any protest in South East.. Yorubas too should stop any form of protest in South West.
As simple as abc.

No be only Yorubaland dey Nigeria.

If Igbos are saying there won't be protest in South East.. then Yorubas have every right to say there won't be protest in Lagos and other Yoruba cities.

The era of deceit is over.

Lagos must not be burnt down a second time under guise of protest.

trutharena:
Nigerians don’t need to stand up for any protest that will only lead to chaos and destruction. Tribalism is not the problem; it's the leaders who refuse to do their jobs. These calls for protest are just a cover for thieves to loot and vandalize. Save Nigeria by holding leaders accountable, not by creating more unrest!

Exactly!

Let all the three tiers of Government (LGAs, State and FG) funtion separately and see if the masses won't see changes.
The protest has political undertone and part of what they want is to cause chaos, topple the Government of the day or invite Military to seize power. This is the pure truth.

savenaijatoday:
Have you been to a psychiatric home before? Wallahi even a recovering madman won't say this.

An ignoramus like you can't see beyond the Obi movement controlling your every step and actions.. fvcking go back to your region and protest there.
If we catch your papa in Lagos lasan.

Go and save your region first, before you can save Nigeria.

Hausas should save their region.

Yorubas should save their region.

Let Igbos too go back to their region and save it.

That we are one nation doesn't mean we should be stupid. An Abia person must not be allowed to protest and destroy properties of Yorubas in Lagos when Abia State is in a mess. That's fo0lishness on our own part.

How will Igbos that claim not to be part of the protest troop out in Lagos to be forming rage to end bad governance?.. Iru ogbon jibiti wo niyen??

Go to your home region for protest.. You living in another region is a priviledge that should not be abused.

vowiski:
Weak dude..

If he had been declared winner. Is this how he would have been calm to Northern people ?

Nigerians don't know what God did for them with PBAT..
Someone like Obi would have left Emefiele to remain as CBN Governor, filled all top slots with North and his own kinsmen. Just exactly the way GEJ played his game woefully.

Obi is the next to run away from LP.. rough days ahead for headless mob.

papyjaypaul:
People are funny and I sense a bit of jealousy here. If your business is destroyed, it can cause a lot of depression. There are market owners whose shops caught fire and they died from high blood pressure or the shock of the news.

That's why she is being celebrated oga.. she didn't give up when things got tough.
She picked herself up and kept going.. the best mindset ever.

Sonnobax15:

One lesson I've learnt in life over the years is that---"no matter where you are today, tomorrow is certainly gonna be a better day so long you don't give up on yourself today"

Kudos to her for not giving in........A true banny indeed who has got brains....I celebrate her..

Next time add 'ceteris paribus' to your first paragraph.. i.e. all things being equal.

Mechatronic systems.. lovely.
The demolitions was just a push to her destiny.. for one closed door, there are a thousand windows of opportunities.

The Europeans committed terrible attrocities against Blacks in the past.. I wonder how Blacks today fancy the idea of 'JAPA' with the ill-treatment Blacks suffered in the hands of Europeans.

To be fair to them however, one must acknowledge the fact that Blacks in positions of power (such as traditional rulers) sold fellow Blacks into slavery to buy material things like bottle of wine, jewelries, paintings and other ridiculous things.. Ajayi Crowther got sold into slavery several times till he was rescued by British forces fighting Portugese Slave traders, he got saved, trained in school by Whites so there were still some good hearted ones.

I look at present day and I see the same cycle of slavery being re-invented to turn Africa into a slave coast once more.

You might want to add your email incase the Presidency wants to reach out..
You can also write officially to the President and copy the Minister of Justice.

trutharena:
Obi just keeps losing his loyalists one by one, what a shame!

This partocular one risked so many things for the Agulu fake messiah.. alas we predicted correctly.

Kenneth himself.. soldier of fortune.
So you've resigned eventually after all the back and forth.

Is Nigeria no longer the zoo y'all love to hate?..

PBAT will complete his 8yrs and power rotation will continue.

They should shut all the airports and close all our borders. LASG especially should place the Lagos airports, newly built Yoruba history centre, etc. under high security.
We no wan hear say you start fire, come escape.

If lgb0s want national influence on the poIiticaI front, they need to link up with Yorubas, if they want Biafra, they stiII need Yorubas, but they wiII never accept.
They are waiting for northern and Yoruba enmîty which is never going to happen.

I don't see a clash between Yorubas and Hausas (minus Fulanis) happening anytime soon.

When push comes to shove, they'd rather embrace Arewa republic peacefully than enter face-off with Yorubas to keep One Nigeria.
The least prepared for separation are the Igbos, yet they make the loudest noise about secession. Irony.

JagabanB:
They are waiting for the day "the north" will turn on Yorubas, it will never happen, if Yorubas want an independent country like lgb0s want today, Nigerîà wiII faII in less than a year.
The north knows this.

Correct!

The North knows..

They know never to underestimate the Yoruba people of South West, Nigeria.

Funny enough, some Igbo speakers know too that only Yorubas can break out from the union without even a gun fight.. reasons they want Yoruba vs North face-off by all means.

JagabanB:
They Iàck understanding, but they will still not learn.

It's just to put calls to the right people, the whole place will become calm.

The South Easterners have refused to learn Politics and how it's played in Nigeria.

The North started protesting under Buhari's regime.. had it been you were in the North, you'd know they cursed Buhari towards the end of his second term.

Contrary to what most of you from South East believe, the Northerners are far more intelligent than most ethnic groups down South asides Yorubas.. reason Yorubas will always win free and fair election e.g. M.K.O Abiola and now President Tinubu over and over before any other ethnic group down South.

The power brokers are playing their games, they know where to meet to resolve their squabbles. The only people I pity are those like the poster who sees Northerners as giants that can't be tamed.

Maybe it's a sign of caution to those planning evil.. like the agulu packaged fraud that wants to burn the country down over election loss.

These guys are re-igniting the 1966 vibes.. I'm sure this was how the Igbo soldiers that masterminded the 15 January, 1966 coup felt they will kill other regional leaders and go free.. they are hell bent on seeing a pogrom happen in South West like it happened across the North in the 60s'.

Yorubas dey fall my hand seriously.. our people should have petitioned the DSS and IGP en masse to remove the soul of that Osu from wherever she is hiding in Lagos to face trials. These are barbarians capable of murder that we are allowing to roam freely in the South West.
North will never condone such.. who do Yorubas like this for God sake?.

LASG won't be burnt a second time.. any protester caught in Lagos that is not from South West should be jailed with no option of fine.
They burnt down Lagos in 2020, ran away and have come again to burn what's left.. Eledumare o ni fun yin se

There is no greater risk than having envious outsiders living right under your nose.

Those in Government technically allowed situation degenerate to this level.. even the traditional leaders are culpable in this.

This first thing you need in any society is SECURITY.. It must be adequate and total. There are armed groups going about terrorizing the country, let them do something. Kudos to the gallant Military for their efforts, they are trying and we hope they continue to succeed.

You want food security but no security of citizens lives. How does that sound?

They can still get things right by declaring total war on insecurity and kidnapping. At least let the people have a sense of calm, then make agriculture attractive so youths too can go into it.

A Senator from Anambra junior in age to you just passed on, you ought to be sober not chasing clout.
Who cares about what he did or didn't tell you?. Just too insensitive.
