Tinubu is obviously more intelligent and mature than your likes whom are given to bigotry-based sentiments. The deceased's brother that you are quoting contradicted the driver (also a witness of the unfortunate crime) who said the attackers were 'masked gunmen'. So the intelligent response to a situation such as this is to await results of investigations before making any blanket accusation. That is how intelligent people react to situations such as this. Unfortunately, people like you are not really interested in getting the real culprits of this crime, be they 'fulani herdmen' or not, because you are already sold on the culpable herdsmen narrative. I am more interested in Buhari solving the problem of insecurity ravaging the entire nooks and cranny of the country, than a jaundiced and political 'herdsmen' narrative that fails to deal with the root of the problem because even 'herdsmen' aren't the only ones that are into the banditry, armed-robbery and kidnapping trade. A holistic approach and solution is what we should be seeking instead of this herdsmen-boogeyman conspiracy madness some of you are wallowing in.
Stay there and be waiting for a holistic approach that will never come while Fulanis herdsmen begin the second phase of the occupation which is renaming your communities. Ndi ujo.
ElsonMorali: They are the chief security officers of their states only in name. The whole security apparatus belongs to the federal government headed by an old ethnic and religious bigot.
I think this is where the OPC should come in and run the fulani herdsmen out of the West.
As for Fayose, he got what he deserved. He was an absolute failure as a governor. EFCC went after him because he is corrupt and not because he stood his ground on herdsmen issue.
If he was a good governor, people will rally behind him for leadership. How I miss Gani Fawehinmi. God rest his soul. He'd give Buhari fire for fire. Today, it is safe to say Yorubas don't have a credible leader.
What of Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagagban Borgu 1 of Nigeria? What a blasphemy!
And Jonathan gave a f**k about people that were killed by Boko haram. Chibok kidnap happened and a whole President only took action after couple of days. UN Office bombing in Abuja and a host of other killings.
Let me tell you bro, both Buhari and Jonathan are clueless, infact this present Nigeria system of governance can never benefit us. We all just keep taking sides and trying to flex muscle meanwhile this country need total overhaul of the democratic settings
Which country needs overhaul? No allow Tinubu catch you there.
He wouldn't talk without action. We are not uncultured, we talk when we are sure without doubt. We not like a certain group of people that are individually intelligent and collectively stupid. I guess FFK has been infected.
Tinubu has finally spoken. I waited for him to speak so that I can confirm your leaders' legendary foolishness and cowardice and I was not disappointed.
wowcatty: It's because Tinubu is THE Yoruba defender, not one of. You traitor side of Afenifere are bastardds and don't speak for Yoruba as you can see during the elections.
Tell us what happened during the election that portrays Tinubu as the one that speaks for Yoruba? Election that Buhari won with a few thousand votes inspite of the heavy malpractices in favour of the APC.
Staro: Time has come for Yoruba to react, says Gani Adams
The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, said the Yoruba nation had been pushed to the wall by the killer herdsmen who he said invaded the South-West.
Adams, who is also the leader of the Oodua Peoples Congress, said in a statement on Saturday that the time had come to react, saying they should not be blamed by the time they start reacting in their own way.
The Aare Onakakanfo said, “Yoruba race is not at a loss as to what to do to put a complete stop to the atrocities of the Fulani herdsmen, but we have continuously issued statements to call the attention of the entire world to the development in the peaceful South-West.
“We only want the whole world to know what has been done and being done to our people. They should be aware of the actions that preceded our reaction when it eventually comes.
“We are not bereft of ideas on how to stop this criminality on our land. It is just that we should not be blamed when the reaction comes. We are like the proverbial goat that it being chased. When it gets to the wall, it will certainly react. We are at that stage now.”
foliman: All these actions are empty, null and void! My heart aches and this is so saddening and unbecoming
It's time we all go our separate ways..
Life used to be a sacred thing in the past, but with this Fulani man as our president, killing has been a game, life has been a toy!
If we continue this way, we'll all wake up to nothing but the entire south overthrown by the northerners all armed.
They do not value family, life and property so why won't they kill others?
The North has always been a problem to the south, we can't continue like this, we have our culture, values and ethics but forcing an alien way of life on us is a way to colonize the south, behold they are advancing each day.
I'm a Yoruba guy and I wish we go our separate way!
Life is sweet!
Good morning good people of the South!
Yoruba want to be president in 2023. Will they sacrifice that ambition for presidency, which is at a grabbing distance, just because one more random person was killed? Let them persevere even if more people are killed. It will be worth it in the end because with power, they can then restructure the country for good.
imamabi: FFK doesn't have sense at all. You call Gani Adams to come back and do what exactly? You that you are in Nigeria when it all happen why don't you do something? You come online and rant, you never put in action into anything. You start and end on Twitter.
kunleweb: Ofcourse its targetted, very very targeted. May God continue to protect us from people monitoring us whom we do not know
Well the Yoruba's if they mean business should not be giving speeches about war declaration if they mean business,they know what to do.
Also, so much for the Yoruba Fulani partnerships
R.I.P to her Pa Fashoranti is one of my most adored Yoruba person. May God grant his and her family the fortitude to ebar the loss. I take not her demise lightly and would gladly join in any reprisals if I was called upon.
Congrats to Tinubu another medal to his evil collection
More people are dying than Libya,Syria and Yemen combined and we think we're not already in a state of war. A repraisal attack that would trigger a big outburst is coming soon and its waiting on the decisiveness of the SW
Don't SW want to produce president in 2023 again? See these comedians.
saheedbadmus: in as much as i sympathize with the late Mrs funke's family, but i believe mr Yinka should have spoken up all this while before this herdsmen killed fasorantis daughter..so if they didnt kill fasonrantis daughter he Mr Yinka wouldn't have spoken about them..this herdsmen issue is becoming worrisome but our Govt isnt saying anything about them..to board bus from LAG to Abuja or Abuja to Lagos na crime cos u go dey fear of being kidnapped by this bandits abi na terrorist i go call them..FG do something about this pep asap
Yoruba Muslim talking about war. Laughable at the most. Don't Youruba want to produce president after Buhari again? Make your Fulanis masters catch you there.
The Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has paid the outstanding salaries and allowances of members of the State Civil Service Commission and House of Assembly Service Commission who were appointed by the immediate past administration of Mr. Ayodele Fayose.
Governor Kayode Fayemi disclosed this while presenting cheques covering their outstanding remunerations.
He thanked the appointees for their meritorious service to the State.
Fayemi, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr. Biodun Omoleye acknowledged the understanding and patriotism of the former appointees while serving with his government, wishing them well in their future endeavours.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, the outgone chairman of the House of Assembly Service Commission, Hon. Tunji Odeyemi appreciated Fayemi for being kindhearted, saying Fayemi’s gesture is uncommon and devoid of personal vendetta.
Odeyemi said that the appointees had earlier thought that Fayemi would remove them from office since that was the norm but the governor was law abiding and retained them in office.
“We are most delighted for an avenue like this. I must confess that this opportunity we are having today is very uncommon. When a new governor or government comes on board, what they usually do is to remove members of commissions and boards appointed by their predecessor not minding the laws establishing those commissions.
“But you have magnanimously retained us and now paying our outstanding salaries. As far as Ekiti is concerned, from 1999 to date, the opportunity we are having like this has not been very common. We are grateful to His Excellency for this”, he said.
The former acting governor said Fayemi has demonstrated his commitment to treating all Ekiti people equally regardless of their political affiliations and has set precedence for his successor to follow.
FarahAideed: Which subsidy are they talking off ? Buhari has said he is not doing subsidy at all but under recovery which is not subsidy
You dey mind them? Buhari, Shonekan, Abacha, Abdulsalami, Obasanjo, Yar Adua, Goodluck and now Buhari. All Increased the pump price of fuel in a bid to remove the subsidy. E no dey remove finish?
DrholuwaTOBI: One day, Our streets would wear that look, Our female team will win the world cup, We would celebrate it on nairaland, Hates and tribalism would have died in our hearts Nigeria would work again!
That day is soon.
With Afonja and Aboki still here? That will only come by divine intervention.
Mbeki: After the Fulanis systematically captured and made Ilorin their territory, they sacked the old Oyo Empire in 1835/1636. They were still not satisfied with their victory; they wished to extend their rule deep into the heart of Yoruba land. Thus in 1840, they set to capture Osogbo, a Yoruba town. The Fulanis, under the command of Ali, the Hausa balogun of Ilorin, laid siege on Osogbo. When the king of Osogbo realized that the Ilorins were too strong for the Osogbo army, he summoned the Ibadans for help. Ibadan immediately sent some auxiliaries to Osogbo under the command of Obele alias Mobitan, and Alade Abimpagun. As this force could not stop the Ilorins, another contingent was sent to Osogbo under a more experienced leader. But still the Ilorins won every battle and gained more ground. When Ibadan realized that the Ilorins were becoming more threatening to Yoruba land, they sent a large and stronger force under Balogun Oderinlo to crush the intruding forces and Jammas of Ilorin. When Oderinlo and his men arrived at the battlefield, they realized that things had gone worse than they thought. They could not show their faces in the open field for the fear of the Ilorin horses, and for about 20 days after their arrival at Osogbo, they could not fight outside the town thickets. Oderinlo suggested that Elepo, a brave Ibadan warrior was badly needed at the war-front. Elepo had been rejected by the war-chiefs of Ibadan for his actions at the late Agbamaja expedition. As soon as the message from Oderinlo reached Ibadan, the Bashorun wished he could send Elepo to Osogbo but could not go against the wish of other war-chiefs. The Bashorun gave Elepo a cow to worship his god, Ori, and pray for the victory of Ibadan at the war-front. At the war-front, the Ibadan could not attack the Ilorins during the day because Osogbo was practically in a plain and the Ilorin horses might have advantage of them with disastrous results. They decided to attack at dusk when the Ilorins would no longer be able to use their horses. About 2:pm, the well prepared Ibadan army left the gate of Osogbo for the battlefield. They were to keep a strict watch and arrest anyone suspected to be a spy. About a mile from the Ilorin camp, they halted and arranged the order of the attack. The Osogbo army and the earlier auxiliaries were to handle the center of the battlefield, chiefs Abitiko and Labuju were to command the right wing, Balogun Oderinlo with the rest of the Ibadan war-chiefs were to form the left wing of the army. The Ilorin camp was then attacked at midnight. The watchword was “Elo ni owo odo?” (How much is the ferry fare?). The reason this watchword was chosen was because the river Osun had to be crossed in entering Osogbo from the south, and anyone who could not tell this was likely to be an enemy. Stampede engulfed the Ilorin camp as the Ibadan army set it on fire. The Ilorins could not offer the slightest resistance; they were smoked with the gunpowder of the Ibadan guns. This attack was a success for the Ibadan. Some Ilorin war-chiefs were captured in the attack. Prominent ones were:
Jimba the head slave of the Emir; One of the sons of Ali the commander in chief; Chief Lateju; Ajikobo the Yoruba Balogun of Ilorin.
They should have sacked the Fulanis Emir in Ilorin too and recover the city. Why didn't they?
Ify05: A young man allegedly committed suicide over the weekend because he was fired from his job and his girlfriend dumped him.
The man, identified as Deji, was fired after a colleague lied against him and to make matters even worse, his girlfriend ended their relationship.
He couldn’t take it anymore and took his life. After he died, the truth came out at work and his boss came to compensate him with a promotion at work and a brand new car.
But he received news of his demise. The boss has reportedly vowed to arrest the colleague who made the false allegation.
Read the entire story as narrated by Deji’s friend below,
I don't know why I feel that the suicide is a very selfish and stupid chap. The thought of his twelve year old innocent child would have deterred him if he wasn't chronically self-centred.
I think there are deliberate actions of some people to tarnish the image of the president through this whole RUGA issue. I suspect only one person, Obasanjo. That been said, the president is making things worse by not coming out to talk extensively on this issue. I'm a Yoruba man before been a Nigerian. I don't support free land to the Fulanis.
Na ds mouth and chest beating! Agba ofifo

Yes. A confused Youruba man. Read your witeup again if you want proof

I have always known that RUGA does not mean Rural Grazing Area. It is a Fulanis name. These guys think we are fools.
Lovelyn451: But the ohanaeze went too far with the statement Igbo's should defend themselves, this matter is a National issue, not only Igbo's are affected...they should strategize with their brain and stop this stupid talks...haba
Shut up your trap. You want Igbos to also be vacillating in indecision like the Yorubas? We are not blackmailed with 2023. So face your front.
A king in osun state was detained with his people.... And the Fulani who butcher some Yoruba people were released.... And you are here ranting about a state you don't even know where it is on the map.
Pele omo eru
And that king is still in detention o. These people are the basest form of homo sapiens.
You are the ignorant one. They say "War is sweet to those that never have experienced it" . So I implore you and your childish warmongering kinsmen, who never learn from history, to provoke another round of civil strife. We will see who will be worse off for it. Yorubas are trying to be mature and to look at all solutions possible and all you guys can contribute is childish behaviour because of your anti-Nigeria predisposition. When you then get what you are clamouring for , and there is chaos everywhere, we know you will run away to leave the likes of the Yorubas trying to negotiate a way forward.
Clamoring for which war? Nigeria is already at war. What do you call the killings and kidnappings all over the SW by Fulanis extremists? People can no longer go to their farms for fear of being raped or slayed by them. Stay there and immagine that you can pacify the adversaries. Your forefathers in Ilorin thought so too until it was late. Their mission in 18th century and today is still the same. He that has ears, let him hear.
CodeTemplar: Tinubu isn't as popular as that in West. Though he is a powerful politician there, he hijacks mandate and that doesn't merit the insult on all westerners. A divided vote in 2015 and 2011 in Yoruba lands could have equally been interpreted as a betrayal by those who weren't favoured so stop getting too emotional. GEJ was a catastrophic failure and it will take a mad man not to see and admit that. Buhari too lost at a point in time and Yoruba's weren't blamed.
If you call Jonathan a catastrophic failure, what do you call Buhari? Will fear even.let you Jobsthan haters cough before Buhari inspite of the manner he is torturing SW and Nigeria in general.
spinna: Early Sunday morning its this hateful poo you have to offer. So you guys eat sleep and dream Yoruba lolz
All the energy that you're wasting on Yoruba is because you're too weak to face your real enemies because Southwesterners never massacred your people in any riot or disturbance.
Its still the same Yoruba that will fight them off and defending the entire south. Or was it not a Yoruba state that first promulgated anti grazing laws which other southern states adopted.
The enemy knows you guys are pushovers thats why they were bold enough to propose armed Fulani guards in your region. Thats why they kill your people and you do nothing.
Only a crazy person would pray for fire on his neighbours house not caring that the fire would also catch his own house.
See this Ostrich. You are now proud of Fayose, he is no longer a bastard Yoruba, abi? The Fulanis knows that SW is already in their kitty. They have done it in Kwara state. With Afonja incarnates like Ishaq Akintola and compromised Tinubu, they needn't fire a shot. But SE? They are desperately searching for foothold, but you know how it usually ends.
MetaPhysical: Bloodfools in suits! Southerners dont know meaning of MACBAN -
Freaks! They say two different fulani groups. MACBAN and Miyetti Allah. Oh my God!
MACBAN is acronym for the gaddem Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Associstion of Nigeria.
This is like fuckng saying OPC and Oodua Peoples Congress are two separate groups.
These same guys will analyse manchesterunited and chelsea and arsenal for you eehhn...you go think na their papa found the clubs, but dem no know difference between macban and miyetti. Shyyyte! I am upset!
Southerners kee you there. Things have fallen apart in the fraudulent 'one North'. The middle beltans have woken up. Deal with them and leave South out if your misery.
