If Fela was alive he would be the one leading the RevolutionNow protest.
In fact, Fela is arguably still the instigator of the movement decades after his death as he is a great influence on Sowore according to him.

With the current Nigerian celebrities, it has become obvious that their mouths have been bought and locked up and they have become like slaves. It is a shame because Fela the man who many of them claim as a hero fought for the masses.

The silence is too loud in the face of suffering masses who look up to them.

What do you think?

asuustrike1:
So Sowore couldn't lead a protest before the elections but wants to do it now?. Many Nigerians witnessed the plague during PMB's era yet they foolishly voted him back why the worry Sowore? Is there something you are not saying that needs clarification? Is this a scripted episode? Are Nigerians even ready for protest in the first place?

franchasng:
I used to think that it was only Azikiwe that knew about the coup, but the truth is, all the ruling politicians knew about the coup but refused to act.

Akintola Williams the Western Premier got information about the coup from Zik and Akintola told Sir Ahmadu Bello, but Bello waved it aside, saying nothing will happen.

Azikiwe warned Akintola again and then took a medical leave with his Yoruba doctor. Then Akintola angrily went to Kaduna to warn Ahmadu Bello the Northern Premier, but Ahmadu Bello again refused to listen, so Akintola went and bought a rifle to arm himself at his Ibadan official residence.

When the coupist arrived Akintola's official residence, they didn't plan to kill him but as soon as Akintola sighted them, he rushed and grabbed his rifle and started shooting at them which made them kill him during exchange of fire, though he was on their list of those to be killed.

Also, the coupist didn't plan to kill Tafawa Belewa the Prime Minister, but when they heard the coup has foiled, they killed all the politicians they took on house arrest, including Belewa.

The people they had their names for killing were:

1.) Ahmadu Bello because he was a tribal bigot

2.) Akintola Williams for his alignment with Bello and his political tuzzle with Awolowo (the coupist loved Awolowo who was serving a jail term for treason at Enugu Prison)

3.) Azikiwe for his love for Northern Nigeria against the south but he used his wisdom and ran away in disguise of going for medical trip.

4.) Aguiyi Ironsi was also on their list of those to be killed

5.) Okotie Ebo because of his corrupt lifestyle and showoffs

One Yoruba Major that got killed with his wife was killed because he tried to pull out his rifle from his drawer, and they shot him.

For police to provide protester with protection, they are required to apply for it. Have these anarchists applied? No.

Oga Falana will be at his office tomorrow hustling, while some miscreants will be on the streets breathing teargas and lucky ones may get lead from the riot police.

Ojiofor:
Give us the casualty list of Dimka's coup and why its not called Tiv or whatever coup.

hisexcellency34:
They are not even demanding for Sowore's release

Please igbo people stay out of this its yorubas fight

NwaAmaikpe:




That MOPOL vagabond robbed that woman of her wage but the crowd there are mute.

If it were a regular dude now they'd mob him.

A police officer should know better. How will the IGP feel to know one of his officers fvcks on 'credit'?

zykson:
Whatever.. don’t just call a protest revolution it’s stupid

Biety:
My take aways from this long article are:
Most of the people that helped Ojukwu were Yorubas.

Ojukwu actually disguised to escape. Infact he went into hiding and had to be helped by good samarithans.
Before now I used to think people were just saying it to taunt him.

Another one is that Ojukwu' son still trembles whenever he sees lightning or hears thunder blast because of the experience he had about 50yrs ago during the war.
The sumary is that war is never an option to disagrement s. Dialogue is the best option.
We should learn from the past to avoid repeating foolish mistakes.

She should be put in old people’s home where she will wake up go to the gym, go to dinning three times daily, watch movies and participate in dance programs. I think Nigerian government should be man enough to have such program for old people who can not afford a good life by theirselves

That’s why we asked you to do revolution at lease to put some things in order but some of nna think say na Sowore dey craze.

isnovic:
Kiss thine wife goodbye
And bade thine children farewell
Say thine final goodbyes to thy kith and kins.

Let it be shouted on the mountain tops
In all homes and whispered aloud in gatherings that out of the land far south came western courage.
Of struggles birthed in civil disobedience
Let it be known when the row calls of men of valor that thine fathers name be honoured

Let it be known to all generation that evil prevail because good men decide to keep quiet and do nothing.
That it be known that courage was birthed in the south and fathered in the East and nursed by the South South and midwifed by the NorthWest.
Let the Doctors of good conscience of the North who worked all night to avoid a stillbirth be mentioned.

Let it be known that here! Nigeria.
this day was our last stand against tyranny.
Against impunity over the laws of the land and the court
Against bloodletting
Against suffering and smiling
Against strangers in our land spilling the blood of our brothers and sisters.
Against elitism
Against all political godfatherism.
Against joblessness of our fathers, mothers, of our boys and our girls.
Tell them: the youths are not lazy and we are not cowards!!!
Against election manipulation and subversion of the will of the people.
Against the redacted promises
Against being the dreg of the world
Against being less human than others because we carry the green passport.
Against all these we stand.
All men for the soldier standing next to him: a call too strong to deny.

May the 5th of August be with you!!!

Obatala ko, orunmila ni.

oduduwa is more or less a symbol of yoruba unity.

What we call yorubas today is mostly territorial. People who have inter married, and mixed a lot that you can"t separate them anymore. We speak one language with different dialect as a means of identity.

Yorubas alone contain more 30 tribes who at some point migrated from somewhere. and we have migrated to places like benin republic. And yes, eguns identify themselves as yorubas.

If I may ask, which obatala did akoko people migrated from or they are not yorubas too?
What about the aworis?



Now back to sowore,
Apoi tribe are yorubas by territory. How is that hard to understand?

Look at itsekiri for example, despite the fact that they bear yoruba names and speak mixed yoruba, do you know why yorubas don't call them yoruba?
Simple, they are not in yoruba territory.
I'm sure they would be yorubas automatically if they are in ogun or ekiti.

Zamfara to employ ex-bandits to combat killings, kidnapping

The Zamfara State Government on Monday said it would employ repentant bandits in the state and give them money to set up business to end banditry and its resultant killings and abductions in the state.

The state government has also agreed to disband its 8,500 civilian Joint Task Force recruited by the former governor, Alhaji Abdul Aziz Yari, as demanded by the bandits during a peace deal between the government and the repentant hoodlums.


The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Security, Alhaji Abubakar Dauran, said the government decided to employ the repentant bandits and empower some of their illiterate members because they had embraced peace.

He said most of the bandits were Fulani.

Bandits have consistently attacked Zamfara towns and villages in the last five years.

Yari had during a town hall meeting in Gusau, the state capital, in April said bandits had killed 3,526 persons in the state in the last five years.


He had also said, “Over 13,000 hectares of farmlands were either destroyed or made useless as farmers can no longer use the lands for farming. Nearly 500 villages have also been devastated and 8,219 persons were injured, some are still in critical conditions.”

But since the assumption of Governor Bello Matawalle in office, the bandits had been surrendering their arms and releasing their captives after the government engaged the hoodlums in a dialogue.

On Sunday, Matawalle in Abuja, said the bandits had freed 300 people they kidnapped.


When asked if there was any agreement between the bandits and the state government, Dauran, in an interview with The PUNCH, said the bandits agreed to surrender their arms.

He said, “The state government has plans to recruit those of them with relevant academic qualifications into the civil service, while others who have not gone to school will be assisted in their cattle breeding business.


“The Fulani have fully embraced the peace initiative and are now moving freely in the markets and other places that were hitherto no-go areas for them.”

According to him, the state government is going to give the bandits, who are Fulani, “some money to set up business and will also provide them with some feeds for their animals.”

Dauran added, “There was a concrete arrangement between the bandits and the state government. They (bandits) agreed to surrender and release their captives if the state government could also release their people arrested by the security agents.”


He added that the bandits asked the state government to allow their people in hideouts to come out and move freely in the state without being attacked or harassed by the volunteer groups otherwise known as “Yansakai.”

Bandits ask Zamfara to disband 8,500 civilian JTF

The governor said, “They requested the government to disband the 8,500 civilian JTF (Joint Task Force) recruited by the former governor, Alhaji Abdul Aziz Yari, as well as the volunteer groups which have been attacking and killing their people, thereby causing them to embark on reprisals against the people.”

According to him, a meeting was convened between the Fulani and other groups. He said there was reconciliation after the government fulfilled its pledge and ordered the release of some bandits, while the civilian JTF and the volunteer groups were also disbanded.

According to him, the state government will soon create Ruga settlements for the Fulani where social facilities such as schools, hospitals and dams will be provided to make them comfortable.

Dauran stated, “The repentant bandits have surrendered many AK47 guns and a lot of ammunition,” adding that more weapons were expected to be surrendered in the near future.

Bandits kill 20 in Katsina, abduct woman

But few days after the Zamfara State Government reached an agreement with the bandits, hoodlums attacked Zango-Pawa in the Zangon-Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State and killed 20 people on Sunday. They also abducted a woman.

Residents told one of our correspondents on Monday that the bandits also razed several houses, including that of the village head who reportedly escaped the attack.

Sources said the bandits arrived in the village on motorcycles around 6.30pm on Sunday and started shooting.

A local government worker in the village, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some of the bandits also came back on Monday morning.

Bandits prevent villagers from burying victims

According to him, the development prevented residents from burying some of the victims.

He said, “Nobody can say exactly what is happening in the village now. The bandits came on Sunday evening at about 6.30pm. After they have wreaked havoc, we were able to evacuate 20 corpses but as some of the corpses were being buried on Monday, they came again and we had no option but to abandon the burial and take to our heels.”

The spokesman for the police command, Gambo Isah, who said he had yet to verify the genuineness or otherwise of the incident, promised to call back.

“Let me verify and I will get back,” he replied to the SMS by this reporter.

As of 5:30pm when the report was being sent, he had yet to respond to enquiries by one of our correspondents.

kotv:
What's this one making noise about? Do I look like one that's interested to watch Yoruba dance around naked in the market like primitive animals. You must have me mistaken as someone interested in rubbish. Go find Igbos to address since they appear interested in your rubbish.

Wannabe civilizer, 21st century Yoruba still believe cutting a man or woman's head and gentiles would bring them immense wealth. Civilize your people first before decieving yourself you contributed in the growth of anybody.

Yoruba are on this topic making a mockery of themselves but yet, you are seeking respect from me for addressing it and advicing to not bring my people into it. Your people disrespected themselves and your ethnic group. I'm not one to blame for their desperate act.

nasoeb:
Wetin dis slowpoke dey talk, you fat face chodata. Is it the yoruba that has been chased from kwara or enslave in kogi or the poverty stricken ekiti or skull miners in ogun and lagos that can invest what they can never have? Or is it the tiger razor-cut, face design osun or rapist-laden ondo that appear like those that can invest. Go read up about lagos, you will see the original owner of lagos are the slaves from brazil, edos and ijaws and is developed heavily by the igbos, without which lagos (the only thing the yorubas have) wont exist
