quiverfull: How can the government say on the one hand that they understand the greviances of the youth, and they are addressing the issues and then turn around to start witch-hunting the perceived leaders of the protests? This is pure dishonesty! The government is asking for another round of protests.
Are you minding them? The reason the protests did not end despite their lip service was the lack of action. They have drawn the line and declared war on the citizens.. A real shame
Emilokoiyawon: The vast majority are descendants of Yoruba. A very few originate from Bini.
Even many from Bini are originally from Yoruba. Even the Olu of Warri, descended from Ginuwa a Bini Prince had Yoruba ancestry as all within the Bini Royal family
Etinosa1234: There are eyewitness reports of my grandfather because there are people that met him and knew what he did.. Even my grandfather first child met him
[s] So can u give me eyewitness reports or is it the fairytale that Oduduwa that skydived to become king according to Ife or the Oduduwa that trekked all the way from Mecca to Nigeria according to oyo that u believe is true...
Surely there must be eyewitness reports abt the first Ooni of ife [/s]
He asked you for eyewitness reports of your great grandfather. You are talking story
adioolayi: It's time to reflect on the gains of the peaceful protests.... it's time to retreat and give the Government some time to implement the demands fully.
Let's shift to online protests and do so aggressively till all demand are fully met, just to keep the Government on their toes. Let's put an end to physical gathering of #EndSars protests.
We should stop fooling ourselves..the physical protests have been hijacked by hoodlums....and out of control.
It has not been hijacked by Hoodlums. The protesters are still doing their thing
Hoodlums paid by government to sabotage the protests have failed. They are clearly a separate people
North is the main problem of this country.. Even before the issue of incompetent politicians The South would have dealt with the politicians a long time ago if not for the North defending the politicians from their side. Same north has unimaginable poverty despite most presidents and law makers coming from the North
Hintona: If it's true that men of every race especially sub saharan African men see light skinned women as more beautiful "subconsciously" than darker skinned women, then why did our fore fathers discriminate albinos?
N/B: I'm not trying to justify the discrimination against albinos or say light skinned women are less beautiful.
I just want to know if preference for light skinned women is society and media induced.
Trolls are allowed but I'll appreciate if your answer is a product of deep critical and constructive thinking. thanks.
What ethnicity discriminates against albinos? Specify because as far as Yoruba is concerned Albinos (Afin) are not discriminated against.
Joshmodest: I would have said you were lying if not that we had one like that in my former compound .... This man has literally become a burden to his wife and 3 sons... He doesn't work as a full time minister , his wife does all the work and if she complains a little he'll tell her she's not the only one ...she pays the kids school fees one of them is in the higher institution , she takes care of their clothing , every expenses , even food the day Mr pastor go drop 500 the whole compound would know .... His kids must not sing any genre music except "Gospel" , if they do na curse , they must not have girlfriends a child of 19, they can't even watch film in peace , they barb stylish cut problem, even football watching na yawa , keeping friends is an issue except na deacon son or Sunday school teacher son , he even said they must marry from that his church or he'll reject the wife ...so bad that the senior son once told him that hope he remembers it was him God called ?..he doesn't gist with the kids and blames the mother for doing so instead of reading bible ....one time dey once he sees then laughing , he'll bring bible and hold prayer.... Ladies stay away from strict pastors ,.they'll ruin your life and your kids life with their sententious mindset !!!
Xisnin: Nigeria with its collective wealth haven't defeated the terrorists but a fractured nation in disarray will fight them?
What kind of logic is that?
Oh, I get it. You want to save your head while condemning the victims you supposedly care about to gruesome death. Or you thought, the bandit will say, "oh wait, let us stop attacking now that we no longer have a real opponent.
There is no point pretending to care while using other people's tragedy to further your own selfish interests.
It is shameful that no secessionist can rationally defend their decisions when challenged.
We in Yorùbáland can deal with the problems in Yorùbáland. And we need to separate from Nigeria to actually be able to use our ability to deal with said problems So yes, we want to save our heads and there's nothing wrong with that. Enough of the shaming Yoruba people to care about their killers and not themselves. We didn't create the fulani terrorists so those who want to remain with them in Nigeria should deal with that as it is their choice. Why should my people suffer and continue to give to Nigeria? Nigeria that has no regard for human lives, Yoruba or otherwise
Survival, progress is all the rational defence you need. You are just deceiving yourself and trying to maintain your business enterprise, you don't care for any life. The mere fact that you would ask me which people are being killed is testament to your lack of concern.
Xisnin: 1. Yes, the most cowardly section of the society fooled the illiterates into dieing for their ideas, how noble of those "intellects".
2. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself and family members?
[s] Perhaps you belong to the group who believes that money is everywhere and just need someone to share it equally.
The bold is a joke.[/s]
3. Nigeria became better after the colonials arrive but I don't think you would hail colonialism and wants it back.
Somalia, Libya, and Syria will someday be "better" but I guess someone will credit that to "revolution" even though it is the restoration of traditional order that will bring about such change.
4. Assuming they are not ignorant, only the most selfish and sociopathic set of people will want to experiment with millions of lives to fulfil some doomed fantasy goals.
5. Which people are dying? I can't properly respond without knowing what you mean here.
[s] As I said before, I am 100% certain that those noisemakers will fizzle away or remain in their online dream[/s] .
1. Same way your politicians of the upper 1% are fooling you to support their one Nigeria project that enriches them alone and keep the 99% in a dysfunctional environment?
Apparently you don't know anything about the Russian revolution many of the Bolsheviks (Revolution leaders) were out of job, poor and oppressed Russians not only intellectuals, it was a struggle of all classes for all. Same for the French revolution... Same for this oduduwa movement
You are just a funny guy who doesn't even have a stable argument. You have no argument at all sef First you said oduduwa agigators are nothing but low life thugs, I told you there are intellectuals of class, you then say intellectuals are the ones always fooling people What exactly is your problem
2. Whether you like it or not you will die, I will die, everybody will die. Let your life be useful
3. Nigeria did not exist before the colonialists. The British colonial masters created Nigeria. You definitely need to learn some history on how the Royal Niger Company sold rights to claim the land to the British government. Nigeria is nothing but a business transaction and the lives of the people never mattered, they still don't matter to the powers that be
4. Oduduwa has never threatened violence. Oduduwa is not risking lives. It is one Nigeria proponents like you that threaten violence and killing. Nigerian lives have never mattered to people like you, its the business enterprise called Nigeria (the state not the people) that you care about
These are all killings of Nigerians in their supposed country. Nothing to stop killings, nothing to punish killers But since the people's lives don't matter to you, you dare ask me which people are dying.. As if you don't know what's going on
Fmghewzy: I have now realized how daft most people on Nairaland are, especially the group of mofos screaming secession.
It is beginning to look like something is really wrong with the black brain.only few of us have our brains intact. It is a pity they never learn,I don't blame you guys ,my advice is that you go equip yourselves with knowledge,learn how other successful nations achieved their fit. Then you will understand why secession can't work in Nigeria.
Please before you quote me,make sure you have something reasonable to say and moreover with fact
Lmao even this your comment is not reasonable nor does it hold any fact but you are asking for reasonable response.. Lol
Xisnin: They are doing it for themselves and you and not me.
"Intellectuals" spearheaded communism that killed millions of Russians lives. If you were sold by the title of the supposed leader, then realise that anyone could qualify as one and that doesn't make them right. Yes, check the meaning.
Well, I am very confident they will just be ranting forever. I know for a fact the people they are trying to fool do not follow self-appointed leaders like a sheep. They are in for a rude shock.
Yes even Intellects also spear headed the revolution in France that killed many French. So your Russian example is already known thank you. Yet Russia and France became better after those revolutions
The people who are dying now in Nigeria are not important right?
cosmos1440: I am not a Muslim and I am with the majority of the Yorubas who knows that what we need in the Southwest (and even the whole of Nigeria for that matter) is re-structuring and not secession. Also, there is nothing like Yoruba Muslims, Yoruba Christians or even Yoruba Pagans. We Yoruba are very religious tolerant, we even have a saying "Olorun lo mo eni t'onsin ohun", meaning ,"God alone knows who is worshipping him"... So if you intend to separate the Yorubas along religious lines, it won't work.
..[s] . to the online pseudo-secessionists, if you want secession for your region and people, go ahead and good luck to you. Just don't drag us into your problem [/s] .
Then keep struggling for restructuring that the same people calling for oduduwa today have been fighting for for 50 years. You that just started talking about restructuring should go ahead everyone cannot be in the same struggle.
Xisnin: Which sane person wouldn't? Some bunch of thugs cannot declare nor rule a new country.
If you have been paying attention you would know that thugs are not leading the agitation but intellectuals most of whom are even professors and lawyers. And if your problem is the leadership. You can lead if you have what it takes You don't wait for people to do everything for you
LukasPodolski: go and research about how new countries are formed... the struggles, the likelihood of not getting full sovereignty.
from the last two decades only 3 countries, South Sudan, Kosovo(which has not gotten full sovereignty) and Montenegro were able to break away from their host countries... do you know the current state of these countries?
is the struggle worth the stress, maybe ours might be an exception.. you promise ?
Those are Kosovo and South Sudan, not yoruba. They are not on our level, never have, never can so I'm not interested in going into a discussion on them. Compare us to Singapore, Czech Republic, Serbia, Croatia etc ethnic homogeneous countries with rich history and culture to draw from like Oduduwa
LukasPodolski: 1. you are not in the right position to tell me about the interest of the Yorubas, you're not Yoruba, you're an ipob member, an idle fellow who stays glued to radio Biafra 24/7.
we don't want Oduduwa republic, Sunday igboho who organised the recent protest is inconsequential, we don't know him.
2. SW is just a geopolitical zone, Yorubaland does not end in SW, those of us in Kogi west and Kwara South/central have the same right as those in SW.
one Nigeria.
1. I am Yoruba. Its not everyone that disagrees with you that is igbo. That's why I didn't accuse you of being fulani.
2. That's why I asked what do you think about yorubas in Kwara joining us in the SW? As one Yorùbáland?
LukasPodolski: you mean I must speak in favour of the Oduduwa republic,( a movement organized by selfish people ) to proof that am Yoruba? ridiculous.
why is Oduduwa republic so important?
you must speak in interest of yoruba to prove you are Yoruba. How is Nigeria in the best interest of yoruba is then the question
Besides forget oduduwa Republic. You already made it clear you are not down for that. What about the agitation for Yoruba in Kwara to be restructured to the SW?
They will spew gibberish and hide in the room of a woman and motivate illiterates to go out and protest. If they can both come out confidently and lead, I will follow suit Though they are doing it for their selfish interests. How many people has igboho and sowore empowered? Charity begins from grassroot mothafuckers
Igboho Was out. Besides nobody called it a protest. It was a rally not protest People came out all over the world in small numbers yes but if you total all that, they number a lot
LukasPodolski: okay, I'm YORUBA, and I have the right to intervene to anything happening in SW because am a descendant of Oduduwa.
if you're still not pleased then go take snipper.
bye bye.
there is an agitation to move yorubas in Kwara state to SW Support them and work to get that then you can be in the SW Because from your comments here you are more northern than SW.. Which is actually the reality as Kwara is technically not in the SW so it is illogical for you to think you can speak for SW. Let the move of yorubas in Kwara to SW be finalised first
People will just be giving silly interpretations and additions to historical figures and events to make things more interesting and fitting to modern topics
A regent is expected to dress like an Ọba and since Ọba are traditionally Male, they dress like men
Nobody is going to check the organs of a regent or one who had Infact gained so much power as regent to be an effective Ọba in her right, to confirm if she is a woman or man. Infact we only assume she became ọba through being regent first only because female regents are common and female ọba are not
Same way some miscreants have tried looking for ways to make certain Yoruba historical and spiritual figures into homosexuals
The man who works at the airport that Nigerian singer, Davido tipped $100 in a video that went viral some few days ago have cried out on social media begging for Davido’s intervention after he was sacked, Reports.
From The Information Gathered By , The airport official who identity is yet to be known was allegedly sacked from work for defying the ethics of the profession which is taking money from customers.
According to him in a video chanced on by .com, he was relieved of his post by management for begging a passenger for money and has cried out to Davido to tell his employers he did not beg them.
The distressed man who claims has children and a wife said he did not beg him but only hailed Davido whereby on his own will gave him the money, Reports.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roZlCZpyR8I[/quote]Airport officials are profound beggers. Funny thing is they don't think saying things like "wetin you get for boys" is begging
