Bruv I hear you but Yorubas are awake now. Trust me on that. Of course there is nothing we can do about myopic and tribalistic Southerners who would rather cut their face to spite their nose but Yorubas now fully understand that they must act to put an end to the SW becoming overrun by lawless marauders whose way of life cannot coexist peacefully with ours. It won't stop here and there will be serious confrontations and fundamental political falling out with ethnic undertone that will mean big stakeholders cannot hide behind diplomatic talk anymore.

I think Yoruba intelligentsia and political class are now becoming aware of the fact that other have to change their ways drastically otherwise this one Nigeria thingy is not sustainable. from the mood on the ground in the SW, I think PMB is the last Northerner Yorubas will indulge. Seeing some Fulanis getting away with murder and impunity, literally, is really making Yorubas sit up in anger. The arrogance of Miyetti Allah recently is incendiary also because it is the behaviour of those who feel they have backing at the highest level rather than the actions of those who understand they too must abide by the laws which no Nigerian should be above.

Oshigun:
Bottom line is that Yorubas are awake now to the menace Fulani militants pose to the peace and security of the SW. We see the tacit support these killers are getting from the seat of power ,to continue terrorising Nigeria, and we can only conclude that this is not the leadership we voted for or supported at great cost to ourselves.

It is distasteful to read that terrorist and brutal killers are being "rehabilitated" and 'educated'. This is offensive and the sort of things Yorubas are now observing and drawing conclusions from. In the end, we will always move decisively , against anyone, when our interests are threatened. We are strategic and visionary. Yorubas will find a solution to the current security crisis we are facing.

First it is short term physical solutions and initiatives like Amotekun and then long term and far-reaching political solutions to ensure Yorubas are never in this position again. It is time we begin to look at political provisions that can free some regions from the unfair burden of 'one Nigeria' others place on them. The North cannot say the Yorubas have not tried enough for them and they should now accept Nigeria will end when the average Yoruba believes that this is the only solution to preserve our way of life and to secure the freedoms we cherish. No one will stop the Yorubas when we are fed up. Indeed every sensible person will get fed up when they see death and know the barbaric killers yet arrests are never made and it is actually even the victims who are put behind bars and persecuted.

Honestly speaking, NL has gone to the dogs, am sorry to say. I mean, from what i heard on the video posted by the Op, it's evident that there is a case of ransom being discussed here and the family of the kidnapped individual (by obviously a Fulani herdsman) are struggling to raise even a pittance of the ransom money which means most likely, the kidnapped man will be killed but what I read from subsequent comments on the matter is inconsequential and asinine contributions.

what is even more poignant is the fact we all know this is not an ad hoc occurrence- in fact, it’s the norm now in the country, most especially, southern and the middle-belt of nigeria. However, instead of proffering solutions to curb these incessant menace, we come online to expend valuable time and resources on frivolous banters whilst these aberrations persist in gathering momentum in the nation. When are we going to sit up and face a common enemy? What will it take before we mobilise to confront a common threat to god-given lives? Are we prepared to abandon our ancestral land to these herdsmen or wait until they turn the nation into another Somaliland?

Amotekun that seems to be a likely strategy to halt these threat to our ways of life and existence, in its track and what do i see here but yidiots and abject mo.ro.ns coming here to pray for its sudden death. Meanwhile, every part of the nation, most notably the southern part is feeling the heat which is getting intense every day,

Oh, how i wish our so-called useless leaders will be at the receiving end of these hazards, say someone like lai mohammed’s mother being kidnapped-the fulani herdsmen will surely get 9 digit millions ransom from that one or even osibanjo’s sister, maybe then they will sit up and find a lasting resolution to these nuisance. The other day, it was amechi-our federal minister of transport that nearly got caught in the "eye of the storm" only for him to lie about it all in public, even when there were many eye witnesses to the incident.

Chei, I smh for this country.

statusquoante:
Amotekun is a done deal.

It is already yielding fruits...

Your adults, full grown men in their 40's beg for a living. In fact it's one of the most lucrative jobs in the south west now. They term it Omo onile money.. Pathetic!!

The Chief Priest of Osogbo in, Osun State, Ifayemi Elebuibon has described the Coronavirus, which was reported in Nigeria last week as man-made disease that needs to be checked urgently.

He told The Guardian in an interview at his temple in Osogbo yesterday that he was consulting the gods for possible solutions, insisting that the virus was not a natural disaster or one caused by natural phenomenon, but some people created and transferred it into animals.

Elebuibon said people came in contact with the disease after consuming the meat of animals that carried the virus.


The Araba of Osogbo said if it weres to be a natural disaster, some sacrifices and rituals would have been carried out to wipe out the virus, and cautioned those who created the virus to provide solutions to it, while advising Nigerians to be cautious and hygienic.

Although the chief priest promised to consult the deities for possible solutions, he asked every town and state in Nigeria to rise to the occasion and check the disease before it ravages the country.

On how Operation Amotekun could operate without perversion of the course of justice, Elebuibon recommended that personnel of the outfit should be made to swear by Ogun (God of iron) during their recruitment.

He expressed confidence that the process of swearing them in traditional way would prevent Amotekun personnel from engaging in excesses or becoming overzealous in the discharge of their duties.

Believe you me. right now people are been arrested for this. They might tag you as Yahoo boy, if you are self employed. If you are working for any institution expect a weird suspension.

The Vice President noted that the seriousness of the matter had necessitated the setting up of the review committee said, “the problem we have at hand is really enormous”, adding that this is why the President is keen on effective and prompt solutions.


Members of the review committee present at the meeting include: the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami; the Ministers of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama; National Security Adviser, Maj.

Wickedfacts:
The entire Igboland can't collect a phone from a Fulani boy in Igboland, yet you cowards want to take over Amotekun.


MetaPhysical, Mitetti Allah is now in charge of Igboland. Ohaneze is now reduced to gossiping and grumbling in silence.

ChoCho54:
Lol.. you want my Igbo brother to start a fight where the odds are against him?

You want him to start a fight with someone who has nothing to loose?

You want his entire village killed in cold blood by midnight?

That man is more sensible than a ranting canary like you.

Check am nau?

husbandsnatcha:
...go measure it with metaphysical who has 1.2½ inches already !

itsme01:

.

“That the recruitment into the Amotekun of the agency shall be open to an indigene of the communities, where they seek to serve or to residents who have spent not less than 20 years in the community and understand the native language, among others.

Yaribanzaonic:
The National Anthem is an oath to Nigeria. At least once in a year you pledge loyalty to it abi? Do you love Nigeria to the extent that you can die for her Stop deceiving yourself ...absorbing non-Yoruba into Amotekun will expose your vulnerability to outsiders. So much for common sense. You guys are empty wallahi!!!

Yaribanzaonic:
The recommendation here is a subtle way of absorbing your Fulani masters into the scheme. Stop hailing a dirty picture and claiming it as a masterpiece. Absorption of other tribes into Amotekun isn't 'sagacity' its foolishness.

Will the North absorb outsiders NO!!
Will the other regions absorb outsiders NO!!

I used to think Yaribanzaa are had a little sense... but it's now confirmed that your brains are really EMPTY!!!!.

This Amotekun is useless.

WesleyPepper:
Sir Metaphysical , you are doing well.

Sammy07:
Bro, can I get a copy of the Bill of Amotekun?
Since the speakers adopted a uniform law for the security outfit..

LegendHero:
Nice. I initially looked at it from a layman’s perspective.

Emilokoiyawon:
When something needs to be done JUST GET YORUBA PEOPLE. No nonsense. Very direct and treating fvck ups. If you know you know.

LegendHero:
What’s wrong with this Lagos house of Assembly?

fk002:
I will keep on saying in every region there are good and bad people only people with the myopic mindset or dimwits that never set foot in another region will think otherwise.


As for me, I have friends from different part of the country, their parents know me my parents know them, they are always welcome to my house. In fact, we are like family now.
