helinues: Temitope Olatoye A.K.A Sugar was a politician, political thug just in the same position like Sunday Igboho.
Wondering how Sugar would have reacted to the Ondo state insecurities issue. Would he have acted the way Sunday Igboho did?
No, I doubt as a politician and house of reps members, he would have preferred the same way Akeredolu and other SW states governor's are handling the situation peacefully without causing any further loss of lives, destruction of properties and displacement of people
Sugar may be deadly to some people most especially his victims but he was a good big bros to me and those closed by.
tamudabu: A woman lies naked and dying in the middle of the road and my people are more concerned at the supposed rapist's tribe.
Indeed, we Yorubas should ro inu.
The girl should have been taken to the hospital right away. But the most important thing is that the government cannot protect us anymore, and there are some extremely bad people in our midst, and this includes Yoruba people who commit this type of crimes. We are in a serious crisis.
Rubbish, where was this DSS all this while when whole villagers were being massacred. At this point, the situation can quickly degenerate to something more serious.
Redcrafton: @Helinues, please show where you have created a thread saying that the killer herdsmen who did this in Benue and all parts of the country are biting more than they can chew...
Brutal and shameful hypocrisy is the bane of Nigeria society.
Remember no arrests have been made to stop the consistent carnage.
This is not enough escalation for that janjawee.d guy.
kingbee90: Oga Islam has no good legacy in Yoruba land. The Yorubas lost Ilorin to foreigners till date because of Afonja's alliance with Islam. The foreign Fulanis from Chad, Mali, Niger republic brought Islam to Yoruba land in order to conquer them & to use them to achieve their goals(influencing elections in Nigeria). Through Islam, Foreigners are littered all over Yoruba land kidnapping, raping, killing & destroying the crops of Yoruba farmers. I think the Yorubas are better off with their Traditional way of worship.
You don't know what you are talking about. Islam in Yorubaland preceded Uthman Dan Fodio.
Fahdiga1: The earlier they disband this toothless rogue outfit and fashion out a better security network in the mold of eastern security network, the better for the south west. Yorubas have been killed, raped and maimed in their own land non stop and there seems to be no end to all this. they have been overwhelmed and their men are helpless. all my thoughts and prayers are with them in this time of agony. I pray their men emulates and grow balls like the gallant men of the east.
Hehehe, like a stalking ex girlfriend. Yorubas living rent free in the heads of ipobs. You need to worry about yourself.
The slowpoke said nothing about farmers being killed by Fulani herdsmen while harping on bokoto and shaki as if our lives depend on bokoto and shaki. The Fulani truly value cows more than people.
Simple solution, decentralize the government and close all the loopholes in the system where government officials see as an opportunity to feather their nests. Make accountability the rule rather than an exception. Trust me, most people will not care as long as their needs are met.
SilverNorGold: My brother, we are talking about illegality. If every tribe behaves like Sunday, there'll be chaos.. If you want your own country, go through the right channel... I supported Akeredolu but condemned Sunday Igboho, shouldn't that tell you I am a person that's always on the path of legality? You see, I am never against any notice. Just make it legal so we don't disrupt whatever peace we are managing. That's my point.
God bless Nigeria.
The first responsibility of any government is to keep the citizens safe. The FIRST, before health care, before food, before good roads, before anything else! If the government is failing or completely helpless in this regard, people will resort to self help and this is what is happening right in front of you. I believe this is completely legitimate until the government can step up to its responsibility.
Under normal circumstances we shouldn't have citizens issuing quit notice to each other. But the situation in Nigeria at present is far from normal.
The fact that the government is doing nothing about these incessant attacks on people who are doing their legitimate businesses is far from normal.
Before you can fault people like Sunday Igboho you have to make sure that simple activities like farming does not put your life in danger from criminals. Self preservation is the first law of nature.
Eternal price is the price for freedom is an old saying. You don't need to venerate a people carrying out bullying of whole tribe men and arranging and organising terrorism for the sole purpose of proofing superior. Superior over what? Education, technology, organising, fighting, humaness or what is it that is good that you can use to describe a whole tribe if not evil words
We have learnt not to fear the man that can kill the body but not the Soul. I have found that the Fulani man is a thief to the core. particularly the bororo type. There are some Fulani people coming to live in the cities now and are making progress among the people. The bororo is a recalcitrant fellow never do well full of mischief and never ready to be useful to the society but will like the society to serve him. only devious people find use for him. like say you are a thief yourself and need police protection a Fulani buying stolen goods readily identified with you.
I am yet to know any private business concern that a Fulani man has successfully nurtured to employing reasonable number of workers on year in year out basis. yet they engage in mortal battles of proofing superior and willing to take leadership positions without commensurate qualifications and experience..
The world is moving on and the young and coming generation of Fulani should be encouraged not to be lagging behind. Their lagging behind is making others progress disappear.
Thank you for your insightful comments. The fellow you responded to is not different from the bororo Fulani you mentioned in your post. He is a janjawee.d with a smart phone.
PS: what in the world is going on with Nairaland? I typed janjawee.d it got changed to supporter of APC! Quite strange.
Fahdiga: So that means Igbos should fold their hands and watch as Fulani soldiers are killing their people. the difference between the Igbos and the Yorubas is that Igbos are not cowards unlike the later
