This is a very simple issue and I don’t see why the Igbos should raise alarm over it. If you don’t want the law, kindly leave yorubaland.

If you want a lingua franca, use english or pidgin, enforcing Yoruba is enforcing Yoruba culture. Readup history. Also kindly compare those two images to show why the Romans actually had a reason to push their society.

Some Yorubas are trying to be Romans, thinking they will civilise the rest of Naija if everyone walks and talks like them.

One problem though

The condemnation the violent and criminal acts of fulani herdsmen is not a defamation of the fulani as a group. We know we are all diverse Nigerians love fulani culture our ladies love fulani attire it's always on parade in ever cultural day in schools from nursery to primary it's one of the major depictions of the diversity of Nigerian cultures so no one is attacking the fulani as a group.. The coordinated criminal acts by herdsmen is the subject.. Thanks

But the Fulani herdsmen are not a coordinated group as I said, there are 25 million+ Fulani but 7 of those 25 million are all herdsmen. Ignoring settled Fulani, there are countless herdsmen who do not participate in these attacks and conventional bargaining is flawed because herdsmen tribes travel throughout the entire Sahel, from Senegal to Sudan, not just inside Naija, so one herdsmen group may agree to peace and another may come in from the East or the West and start attacking farms, making the peace agreement pointless. Some Fulani herdsmen probably have done nothing and may end up targeted by vengeful farmers while the real culprits escape. The situation is like something out of the Dark Ages. The bottom line is that allowing this to boil into revenge killings will end in pointless deaths of many innocents and greater instability within the Middle Belt and Nigeria as a whole, and as we have seen with the rest of Africa, conflicts like this just destroy the future of nations. Honestly it is shocking that the Nigerian military and police have not made more attempts to stop this conflict - similar conflicts in neighbours like Ghana and Mali have resulted in a lack of government response, revenge killings and eventually herdsmen being approached by real Jihadist groups like ISIS and being asked to join them in return for protection.

If there is not a response to the attacks, there is a real danger of disillusioned or threatened Herdsmen being approached by Jihadis, and that will become an extreme threat.

There have been numerous cases of incessant attacks by fulani herdsmen.. It is possible the fulani here's men may be wronged in the first instance in any case but the problem is that their response is always raids on villages destruction, mass killings, mass rape and the likes.. For example even if just one cow is killed They take justice into their hands by engaging in mass killings of innocent people.. The MACBAN need to educate their members.. There is no bias in media reportings.

But many Fulani are not in contact, so it is extremely unfair to group the Fulani as a single coordinated organisation - despite how much people want to. There are over 7 million Fulani herdsmen living nomadic life throughout the Sahel region of Africa, I will post a map below. It's nearly impossible to keep track of them and many are moving South because climate change is desertifying the Sahel and stopping their cattle from being able to graze (https://www.nairaland.com/4123441/climate-change-jihad-tribalism-scientific). Even if peace is brokered with one tribe or group of Fulani, another may come and have members that do the same thing.

Jonathan's government was good at nothing.

Plateau killings: Fulani herdsmen accuse media of biasPublished on October 20, 2017 By Amos Tauna

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/herdsmen.jpg

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Plateau State chapter, has accused the media of bias and complicity in its reports against its members.

State chapter chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Malam Nura Abdullahi, made the accusation in a press conference in Jos, Thursday evening on the recent killings in the State.


He expressed dismayed over the killings and beheading of six (6) innocent Fulani cattle rearers on Sunday October 15, 2017 by the Irigwe militia in Kuri village of Bassa local government area of the state.

He expressed concern over the unfortunate incident for a section of the media not reporting the killings of their people, but alleged that it was headers that did attack and killed the Irigwe people, even when no arrest was made.

“We also observed the unbalanced reporting of the incident by the media, where they neglected and refused to interview or contact the Fulani community to capture the killings of the six (6) deceased, 40 sheep and 9 cows machete to dead and the 232 rustled cows by the Irigwe militia,” he alleged.

He said the unfortunate incident was immediately reported to the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Bassa local government area and Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), Sector 6, who visited the scene and confirmed the dead and burial.


“MACBAN Plateau State chapter wholeheartedly condemned the killings of all innocent lives, destruction of properties and rustling of Fulani cows,” he lamented.

According to him, the headers were peace loving people, calling on Plateau State government and security operatives to investigate, fetch out the killers and take necessary action that would stop future re-occurrence.

Meanwhile, the Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Tyopev Terna, told journalists that; “The police headquarters has donated a helicopter to carry out air surveillance in the area.

“I want to first of all sympathize with the people of Bassa local government area, they lost so many of their loved ones. I don’t want to be particular about what Meyyity Allah said and their lost. You know when so many lives are lost, it arose so many passion so I wouldn’t want to dwell so much on what they are claiming that has happened.”


“I have received a signal from the Police divisional officer, that people were killed at a village, 27 of them were killed and were buried in accordance with the Irigwe tradition and Islamic religion. while people lost their lives, in there I wouldn’t want to emphasise on the lost,” Tyopev said.

He explained that the Police Commissioner had posted three units of Mobile Police force to intensify patrol and to make sure that attacks on the area were not carried out.

The PPRO said that there was an attempt of attack on a community closed to the one that was attack previously, but was repelled due to prompt response by the police, assuring the members of the public to go about their normal business.

He stressed that investigation was ongoing to make sure that the perpetrators of the act were brought to book.

In September 2015, Beyoncé sat on a yacht drinking sparkling wine with her legs wrapped under a striped, earth-toned blanket as the Faraglioni rocks, near Capri on Italy’s west coast, passed by.

The singer and her husband, Jay Z, paid a reported $900,000 that week to sail the Mediterranean Sea on the Galactica Star, a 65-meter private cruiser with a helipad, 10 dining areas, Jacuzzi and sun deck.

Unknown to the celebrity couple, the yacht’s owner was soon to be a wanted man.

Held through a shell company created by the law firm at the heart of the Panama Papers scandal, Mossack Fonseca, the yacht is now caught up in a massive investigation in Nigeria. The government claims the yacht was bought with profits from crude oil sales that were diverted and never paid to authorities.

The Galactica Star’s owner is Kolawole Aluko, a petroleum and aviation mogul who is one of four defendants accused of helping to cheat Nigeria out of nearly $1.8 billion owed to the government on massive sales of oil. In a separate investigation, Nigerian authorities are also reportedly probing whether Aluko helped smuggle millions of dollars out of the country as kickbacks to Nigeria’s former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/06/27/06/41CB350000000578-4642282-image-m-141_1498542533561.jpghttps://www.360nobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Madueke1.jpg

Aluko is part of a constellation of Nigerian oil executives, state governors, cabinet ministers, military officials and tribal chiefs within the Panama Papers. Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-headquartered law firm with offices around the world, worked for three former Nigerian oil ministers who used companies to buy boats and homes in London, the records show.

The prevalence of Nigerians within the Panama Papers may be no coincidence. Nigeria loses more money from illicit activity, including graft and corporate tax abuse, than any other African nation, research by anti-corruption groups indicates. As much as 12 percent of Nigeria’s annual gross domestic product is lost to illicit financial flows, according to Oxfam.

“Our firm, like many firms, provides worldwide registered agent services for our professional clients (e.g., lawyers, banks, and trusts) who are intermediaries,” Mossack Fonseca told ICIJ. “As a registered agent we merely help incorporate companies, and before we agree to work with a client in any way, we conduct a thorough due-diligence process, one that in every case meets and quite often exceeds all relevant local rules, regulations and standards to which we and others are bound.”

Mossack Fonseca declined to answer specific questions and said, in providing its services, “we follow both the letter and spirit of the law. Because we do, we have not once in nearly 40 years of operation been charged with criminal wrongdoing.”

In October 2015, London police questioned Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s oil minister from 2010 to 2015, as part of investigations into allegations of bribery and money laundering. The investigations are ongoing. The ex-minister, who graduated with an architecture degree from Howard University in Washington, D.C., in 1992, is in London undergoing cancer treatment, her lawyers said in a public statement.

Media reports have described Aluko as a key ally to Alison-Madueke, a relationship both have previously denied. He rose to prominence around 2011 when Nigeria’s government awarded two companies he founded or owned valuable oil blocks on a no-bid basis. One of his companies, Atlantic Energy, was created the day before it inked the deals to acquire multimillion-dollar oil licenses.

Aluko is part of a circle of oil traders who are the subject of frequent media speculation in Nigeria. His lifestyle has earned him the reputation of being Nigeria’s playboy. He bought an apartment in Manhattan for $8.6 million and, according to The New York Times, paid more than $70 million to buy four homes in Santa Barbara and Beverly Hills.

The Nigerian government won a court order in May freezing assets linked to Aluko, two companies he directed and one of his business partners. The Lagos High Court order listed Aluko’s yacht along with property in London, four homes in California, two penthouses in Manhattan, one in Dubai, 132 houses and apartments in Nigeria and land in Canada and Switzerland. The court also ordered Aluko not to sell or dispose of more than $67 million in four bank accounts in London and Switzerland, an assortment of watches, a 58-car collection and three airplanes.

Through a representative, Aluko told ICIJ that “I have never been prosecuted and convicted in any country. I am aware that a criminal investigation was started in the UK. However, to date I have not been made aware of any law enforcement action to be undertaken against me.”

Aluko told ICIJ that the information relating to the award of oil contracts to his company was “misguided” speculation.

“As a private citizen I organise my business and family matters to maximise convenience, as well as operational and administrative efficiency. My companies operate in accordance with the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdictions and, insofar tax liabilities arise, they pay taxes in the jurisdictions in which taxes are due to be paid.”

Criminal charges for alleged crude oil fraud against Aluko were dropped in July as a result, according to media reports, of authorities’ inability to locate and serve legal documents on the Swiss resident.

Despite repeated efforts, ICIJ was unable to reach Alison-Madueke. In previous statements published online and attributed to the former minister, Alison-Madueke has denied all wrongdoing.

News reports in Nigeria and Britain indicate that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.K.’s National Crime Agency and Switzerland’s Attorney General are investigating Aluko for his role in companies and transactions that were allegedly used to conceal Alison-Madueke’s transfer of wealth outside Nigeria.

Switzerland’s Office of the Attorney General confirmed to ICIJ that it had received a request from the United Kingdom in relation to Aluko. U.K. authorities and the FBI did not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation.

Mossack Fonseca’s internal records show that Aluko owned four companies in the British Virgin Islands, one of the world’s busiest offshore havens. He was director of another, Fragola Ltd, in the Seychelles. In May 2013, Aluko paid $11.05 million to buy Almaty United Investors Limited, a BVI company that owned property in Dubai.

One of Aluko’s companies, Earnshaw Associates Limited, was directed on paper by a succession of three companies in Nevis, Switzerland and the BVI, financial hubs prized for their secrecy. The company was incorporated three weeks after Alison-Madueke was appointed to head the Ministry of Petroleum Resources in April 2010.

In March 2014, Earnshaw Associates registered a Bombardier Global Express jet in Malta, according to documents sent through Mossack Fonseca. The 18-seat Bombardier is the same model of aircraft that Nigerian media reported Alison-Madueke used during her time in office.

Oil chief

Long before Aluko, Mossack Fonseca had faced questions about its Nigerian customers. In 2007, when the firm’s employees realized that an offshore company was being used by a former advisor to Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria’s president from 1999 to 2007, Jürgen Mossack reminded his staff that “in this firm, everyone knows that dealing with Nigerians always gives you headaches. It’s inevitable that this case involves a crime or fraud.”

Other suspect Nigerian deals seemed to have passed unnoticed.

One crude oil sale contract between three offshore companies, for example, provided for commissions so high that, one expert consulted by ICIJ said, the most obvious explanation is that the oil was stolen. Another file is a $12 million loan from a shell company to a Nigerian typed on half a sheet of paper.

“I had to sign dozens of pages of paperwork for my home loan,” said Aaron Sayne, a financial crimes lawyer and expert witness in dozens of oil fraud cases in Nigeria, after looking at the document. “And my home certainly isn’t worth $12 million.”

In 1995 – 15 years before Alison-Madueke became Nigeria’s first female petroleum minister – Chief Dan Etete was sworn into the same office.

Etete, a mustachioed power-player from the oil-rich Bayelsa State, served as oil minister until 1998. His tenure became the subject of investigations after he left office. He was convicted in France of money laundering, and authorities in three countries continue to examine allegations that portions of a billion-dollar oil deal involving a company linked to Etete were transferred or pocketed as bribes by political figures and middlemen.

The Panama Papers reveal that Etete and the company, Malabu Oil & Gas Limited, signed a consultancy agreement with an offshore company created by Mossack Fonseca to negotiate the sale of oil blocks to China, a deal that never proceeded. Others documents appeared under Etete’s reported alias, Omoni Amafegha. Amafegha’s company, Pentrade Securities Inc., featured the signature of Richard Granier-Deferre, a French oil trader who was fined approximately $200,000 in 2007 by a Paris court as an accessory to Etete’s money laundering. The company was incorporated in 1998 when Etete was oil minister and opened a bank account in Gibraltar. Amafegha also owned Henkel Investments Ltd, which bought a boat in January 1998.

Etete denied using Amafegha as an alias and said he had never heard of Pentrade Securities Inc. or Henkel Investments. He denied owning or having owned Malabu. “It’s all just enemies that created this misinformation,” said Etete.

“I have nothing to do with any Panamanian companies,” Etete told ICIJ. “I have never been there or sent anyone there to open an account.”

The fall

At his peak, the oil magnate and luxury yacht owner Aluko was a globetrotter whose round face regularly graced celebrity Instagram pages and entertainment tabloids. When he was spotted in Paris in October 2013, Nigerian media trilled at the suggestion he was dating supermodel Naomi Campbell.

https://panamapapers.icij.org/assets/articles/00Africa/160725-nigeria-05.jpg

That same year, he launched a $500 million infrastructure development fund alongside Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx and partied in New York City at Leonardo DiCaprio’s 39th birthday bash. He was snapped at the side of rapper P Diddy in Ibiza, Spain, the following summer. The music star tweeted a photo of himself alongside a smiling Aluko with the caption “NIGERIA I LOVE YOU.”

At the same time, tongues wagged back home. Aluko was regularly cited in Nigerian media as one of “the minister’s men,” a clique of Nigerian oil traders who had burst onto the scene and secured a string of oil licenses from Minister Alison-Madueke’s office with startling ease. In 2011 and 2012, Aluko’s Atlantic Energy, which boasted of “strong government relationships,” grabbed eight crude oil licenses in the Western Niger Delta. Atlantic sent tens of millions of dollars of crude oil to Italy, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere throughout 2012 and 2013, according to documents seen by ICIJ.

In September 2014, however, rumors floated in Nigerian media suggested that Aluko and his companies had fallen out of favor with Alison-Madueke. By September, Atlantic defaulted on its loans and owed Nigeria $1.3 billion in cash and other obligations. The Nigerian government and banks sent out confidential pleas to would-be angel investors in the hope they would be willing to step in with $700 million and fill the hole left by Atlantic’s bankruptcy.

Two months later, Mossack Fonseca employees doing a routine background check on Aluko discovered online news articles claiming that Nigerian authorities might ask Interpol, the world’s police body, to help extradite the magnate. Interpol has denied it ever sought the Nigerian. And while the internet chatter was enough to spook some of Mossack Fonseca’s employees, the firm remained at Aluko’s service.

It wasn’t until June 2015 that Mossack Fonseca took a second look at Aluko, after it received a demand from the British Virgin Islands Financial Investigation Agency to produce documents about Earnshaw Associates.

Mossack Fonseca told BVI authorities that “we do not have information about any bank accounts or assets held by” Earnshaw, despite having signed documents more than a year earlier to help Aluko’s company register a private jet.

In August 2015, the situation grew worse when the law firm realized it had no contact or personal documentation for Aluko. One Mossack Fonseca employee worried that this was a potential breach of the BVI’s requirement that offshore middlemen keep such information for at least five years after a company is mothballed.

An employee sought help from Aluko’s Swiss wealth manager, Johnnie Ebo Quaicoe, and shared links to four unflattering online news articles.

“I’m dumbfounded that Mossack Fonseca will print excerpts from tabloids,” Quaicoe wrote from Geneva.

“If Mr Aluko is truly a wanted person,” Quaicoe chided Mossack Fonseca, “he would not be difficult to find because he is a resident in Switzerland.” Swatting the concerns aside, Quaicoe instead asked Mossack Fonseca to assist with a “major” $30 million mortgage with a Luxembourg bank. The loan was to be provided by Banque Havilland S.A. The collateral securing the loan would include the Galactica Star, the boat that Beyoncé and Jay Z had rented for their Mediterranean cruise.

https://panamapapers.icij.org/assets/articles/00Africa/160725-nigeria-07.jpg

Mossack Fonseca agreed to process the paperwork needed to pull off the loan.

But concerns continued.

In September 2015, a Mossack Fonseca employee discovered new media reports that alleged Aluko was “on the run from the law over several controversial and fraudulent dealings in the petroleum industry.” Employees handling the loan deal asked colleagues for “comfort to proceed without being seen as facilitators to money laundering activities and corruption.”

By October 2015, Mossack Fonseca had had enough – almost.

It cut its final ties with three of Aluko’s four companies, which had been inactive since 2014, and prepared a memo for BVI authorities outlining the law firm’s concerns about Aluko’s activities.

Before sending the memo, however, Mossack Fonseca certified the $30 million loan for Aluko’s Earnshaw Associates. A Mossack Fonseca employee justified the decision to help push through the paperwork by noting that the firm had already been working on the same loan transaction for months.

Quaicoe told ICIJ he could not discuss his work with Aluko. “I conduct business in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdictions pursuant to the contracts of services concluded with my clients,” Quaicoe said.

Ross S. Delston, a Washington, D.C., attorney and anti-money laundering expert, said that in general, banks, other financial institutions and financial intermediaries such as law firms, real estate agents and trust and company service providers should be skeptical whenever they’re dealing with clients who are involved in the oil business, are rumored to have close connections to politicians, have been subjects of negative news stories and come from countries, like Nigeria, that are considered high-risk geographies for corruption, money laundering and other financial crimes.

“Taken together, these indicators and risk factors present not just red flags for money laundering or other financial crime but rather can be characterized as fireworks on the Washington, D.C., Mall on the Fourth of July,” Delston said.

As Aluko was securing his loan, the heat on Alison-Madueke and her friends was increasing. In October 2015, a small number of Alison-Madueke’s family members appeared in a London court on bribery and corruption charges, and police seized some of the minister’s assets, including $39,000 in cash. Nigerian authorities have continued to arrest and arraign other alleged Alison-Madueke confidants.

In May 2016, the Lagos Supreme Court granted the Nigerian government’s request for an order freezing assets linked to Aluko and three others. The four owed Nigeria $1.76 billion dollars in unpaid dues from crude oil sales, the government’s court filings alleged, and had shuffled “large sums to offshore accounts.”

The amount “is equal to the combined 2016 budgets of about 4 States in Nigeria which monies would be utilized to cater for about 13 million” people, the government noted. Nigeria had suffered “immense losses and damage” thanks to the failure by Aluko and the others to pay what they owed.

The court has frozen both of the assets used by Aluko to secure his $30 million loan in late 2015 – the luxury yacht and the Manhattan apartment in the 157 W. 57th Street skyscraper known as “The Billionaires Building.”

Aluko and the three other defendants “could use phony companies to dispose or dissipate their assets” out of Nigeria’s control, the government argued in an effort to keep Aluko and the others from selling off their assets before authorities could confiscate them. The government pointed to the sale, in April 2016, of Aluko’s 15,000- square-foot home in Beverly Hills as a sign “of desperation,” an indication of his desire to avoid “the long arms of the law.”

In July, Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission laid charges in court against several Nigerians with alleged ties to former minister Alison-Madueke. In a last-minute change, Aluko’s name was dropped from the charge sheet after government prosecutors admitted they had been unable to serve him with documents.

Contrary to his wealth manager’s claims, it seems, Aluko remains difficult to find.

Fulani herdsmen may wipe out other ethnic groups in Northern Nigeria – Northern CAN, Rev. Pam

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Rev.-Yakubu-Pam.jpg
Published on October 17, 2017 By Don Silas

The Northern Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Yakubu Pam, has pledged with the Federal Government to call Fulani herdsmen in the country to order before they consumed minority ethnic groups in the North.

Pam called for probe into the killing of 29 persons by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Nkiedonwhro village in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State as well as killing of a former Plateau State Head of Service, Mr. Moses Gwom.


The clergyman in a press statement condemned the killings and said the unfortunate acts by Fulani herdsmen has claimed several lives in Benue, Southern Kaduna, Plateau and Taraba States respectively.

He, however, decried the killing of women, children and the aged in their sleep during the recent Plateau attack.

Pam lamented that not even one of the attackers was arrested by security agencies in the area despite the dust-to-dawn curfew imposed by Governor Simon Lalong.

Similarly, Commander of the Special Task Force in charge of internal Security in Plateau and neighbouring state, Maj.-Gen. Anthony Atolagbe, has vowed to investigate the killings of the 29 persons in Bassa.


Atolagbe said soldiers posted to the locality had been recalled to the headquarters of the task force for proper briefing on how the attack took place in the village.

The General regretted that despite the fact that there was curfew and movement was supposed to be restricted, the suspected gunmen invaded the village and killed women, children and the aged.

Herdsmen, farmers sign peace pact in Niger
By NAN
18 October 2017 | 11:14 am

Herdsmen and farmers in Mashegu Local government Area of Niger have signed a peace agreement to stop clashes among them.

Alhaji Abdullahi Babayo, Director-General of Nomadic Affairs Agency in the state, disclosed this in a statement issued to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna on Wednesday.

Babayo said the aim of the meeting was to reconcile communities that were affected by farmers/herdsmen crisis in the area.

He said that the meeting was attended by Alhaji Bala Sai’du, Chairman, Mashegu Local Government, Alhaji Ardo Adamu, Chairman, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in Niger, Fulani Herdsmen, Farmers, District Heads and community leaders from the area.

According to him, the meeting was to promote peace among farmers and herdsmen and to appeal to herdsmen to desist from grazing on farmlands to avoid clashes with farmers.

The director-general advised both parties to abide by the agreement and continue to respect the cultures of one another, tradition and means of livelihood.

He urged them to be law abiding and live in peace irrespective of ethnic, religious and political affiliations.

“Farmers and herdsmen should adopt alternative dispute resolution mechanism whenever there is a disagreement in order to avert the negative effects of crisis,’’ he said.

Babayo also urged the Herdsmen to report any suspicious persons to the appropriate authority.

He said this would enable the authority to interrogate the persons to know their mission in the state.

He also advised both farmers and herdsmen against blocking cattle routes and destroying farmlands so as to sustain the peace in the area and guarantee food security.

That's what happens what everyone is 50% ultra-religious and anti-education and 50% greedy and chauvinistic without a care for anyone other than themselves.

Nigeria's gov. is polluted with degrading scum who get high positions just for access to oil or land, which they sell off amongst themselves and foreign companies against the needs of the country and it's hundreds of millions of citizens, just so they can buy a private jet or some fat mansion. There is no authenticity. There is no efficiency. There is no concept of Res Publica. Like most African countries, Nigeria is a Mafia State with a population of ultra-religious, tribalist fools.

The people don't care. People in Nigeria are so religious that you could just wave a cross around and call yourself a pastor and get entire villages doing whatever you tell them to. Politicians are not elected based on their qualifications and their reasoning, but on which tribe they belong to, how loudly they yell and how much money they have (because money=successful and successful=good governance in the slowpoke mind of the clueless Nigerian).

The UN also takes politics into consideration, and is primarily superceded by American interests, which can lead to double standards.

So it means... do you wear a belt? What?

What does this mean? Is this some kind of euphemism?

Pastors and their churches should be regulated as businesses are. They're nothing short of brainwashing operations, and the pastors are greedy socially destructive Chimpanzees who are swindling hard-earned coin from the downtrodden and gullible.

REAL followers of the supposedly "christian values" would be real community supporters, or would be mendicants leading a life of enforced asceticism and poverty. These filthy Pastors are all Mafia Dons, playboys, greed junkies and other such apes.


When I see the shite these clowns in the churches and govt. get up to.... Nigeria needs it's own French revolution.

Stupid tribalists, abeg continue being beasts

rlauncher:
Afonja was the Aare-Ona-Kakanfo (military general and commander), stationed by the Alaafin of Oyo(Yoruba Emperor) to guard the northern frontier of Yorubaland (Ilorin) against Fulani invasion. He betrayed the Alaafin and the Yoruba people enabling Ilorin to fall under Fulani control. Google the story for more information.

Ok I see, but I see it used as an insult?
