DO NOT BELIEVE SIMPLE WORDS! Sars should also KNOW killing people is "not acceptable" as well. It's not about what is acceptable and what isn't. It's about how are you holding these people ACCOUNTABLE! WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEM WHEN THERE ARE NO SARS OFFICIALS ARRESTED AND ON TRIAL NOW FOR MURDER?!?
Or do they expect us to think they will sack and arrest sars officials when they look through phones if they aren't even arresting them when they KILL PEOPLE?!? IS THIS MAN A DUNCE?!?
Since people don't know if Ibadan is on the way of becoming the new Lagos. Then easterners will be claiming that one too after we've already done all the work.
Leave it to the IDIOTIC African to turn a topic about Chinese colonization into a AFRICAN VS AFRICAN debate. Africans like you are always the ones holding us back. You will never see the U.S bring up China, and allow another white person to say how Germany is xenophobic to Americans. IT IS NOT RELEVANT.
hammerP: I STOPPED LISTENING WEN I SAW IT WAS A GHANAIAN MAN.
GHANA AND XENOPHOBIA BE LIKE 5 AND 6.
IF ZAMBIANS COME TO GHANA, AS PER AFRIAN BROTHER, HE WILL STILL COMPLAIN.
Ghanaian or not, IS HE WRONG? Maybe that's why Nigerians are going to Ghanaian hospitals like idiots because they refuse to let Chinese doctors into their country to run their hospitals, and refuse to rely on Europe for their own hospitals
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]I was watching this video and just see how the Zambian airport signage is in Chinese, the advertisements everywhere is in Chinese, and all of the shops are owned by CHINESE!
This is a very sad sight, and if other countries don't STOP WHAT IS HAPPENING, this will be every country in Africa by 2050. We will be second class citizens in our own continent. Just look at Mali, Yemen, Egypt, Morocco, North Sudan. All were once African but have been dominated and taken by Arabs. HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF! We always like to blame old leaders. Nigerian youths (and other Africans), this is OUR problem! If we don't prevent this from happening we deserve every curse that will be thrown on our graves by the next generation. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
All of us (personnel) in hunters’ association will swear by god of iron. The meaning is that you don’t betray, else god of iron will strike.
Say what you want about using voodoo in 2020, but I can say that Amotekun soldiers won't be plagued by corruption like the police. After swearing to god of iron, local members will think twice about betraying Amotekun. Local problems require local solutions. This is one of the many reasons people can lie in court. Put a shrine in front of them and make them swear on it that they are telling the truth and watch honesty flow through nigeria.
As the newly launched security outfit tagged Western Nigeria Security Network (tagged: Operation Amotekun) begins operations, one of its personnel, Soludero Hunters’ Association has said the outfit doesn’t rely on guns to function well but would use their ancestors’ powers to ward off any aggression against Yoruba indigenes in the zone.
The National President of the hunters, Oba Nureni Ajijola Anabi who spoke with Vanguard said since the outfit was launched, they had resuscitated all “powers used by our ancestors to conquer their aggressors and that’s what we will use in protecting our zone”.
“We promise to be civil and law-abiding in our operations. We will never disappoint our governors who initiated the security outfit.
Also, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Eniitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, other prominent Yoruba kings, governors in the South-West zone, the Chairman of Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria, Prince Kehinde Adeyemo, Chairman of Oyo State Road Transport Management Agency, Mogaji Akin Fagbemi, Prof Adebanji Akintoye, Yoruba leader, should be rest assured that Amotekun will live up to expectation.”
On the fears of Miyetti Allah that Amotekun was created against them, Ajijola who is also the Defence Minister of the RTEAN, Oyo State branch, noted that herders should not entertain any fear so far they “don’t come to our lands and be terrorising our people.
We will not tolerate that any longer. We are not against any group provided they don’t pose threats to our lives and property”.
“Anyone who has the mind to kidnap, kill or rape our women should have a rethink. If not, we hunters in the South West will prove to them the stuff we are made of.”
“It is only the people or group who want to kill, maim, kidnap and rape our women, destroy our livelihoods that should be afraid.
“We will match them strength with strength. We can’t watch them commit atrocities on our lands. They can’t take our lands from us.
We promise all Yorubas that they are secure anywhere in the zone because we have more than 500,000 hunters in each of the six states. We will not betray you
“As for the use of weapons, that may not be necessary. The powers of our ancestors are enough weapons. We don’t need any approved weapon to operate. It was the powers that our forefathers used to win many battles in the past. They are still very much with us. We only need to revive them.
All of us (personnel) in hunters’ association will swear by god of iron. The meaning is that you don’t betray, else god of iron will strike.
“Recently, thunders struck in some places and we all saw the effects. We can employ the services of these deities and they will answer us speedily
“We thank the governors for their courageous move to protect our people. In fact, our hunters are enough to check criminality. Our kings in the past engaged the services of hunters to protect their territories and their people were safe”, he said.
DexterousOne: I think this is the catalyst for unity between the two ethnic groups
Buharus Fulanocentric government has had revealed
So it's time to act
The yeebos are too childish and intellectually inept to think clearly. its like they've been cursed to the level that their inability to get over the defeat at the hands of the yorubas is preventing them from liberations.
one thing is clear, mutual benefit or not, the yeebos need to be right alongside the aboki getting kicked out of the SW when disintegration takes place. They have proven time and time again that the hatred they have for yorubas is beyond repair.
I love how some of these critics think they're engineers or scientists. Please, if you don't have scientific data and studies proving this will cause it to be underwater (as you failed to prove with Eko Atlantic), then just keep your ignorant opinions to yourselves. The time of ignorant baseless statements being accepted as facts has long since passed. Back up your claims with solid studies and scientific evidence, or keep your negative statements to yourselves, because they are nothing more than useless comments that have no basis in fact. And should be treated as such.
deomelllo: The fact that nothing works in Nigeria means we should all sit on our hands and do nothing, we shouldn't make any attempts, we shouldn't come up with any ideas or start or build anything?
The way many of you think, your country shouldn't depend on you for a better future and a developed country because you have nothing to offer beyond negative mentality
uzzolik: i don't want to loose my Kenyan friends TayserMahiri and co its like they don't like my opinon, any way since they are interested in pic and being ahead of Nigeria. i still love Kenya and plans to visit again hence i want to enjoy my visit in peace and maybe see my friends face to face.
Apparently Nollywood is VERY popular in Kenya huh?
Eating some ugali (staple Kenyan food) in Nairobi, a few minutes ago. Nollywood is sooo popular here. Even the soldiers were calling me oga! Kenyans know so many Nigerian words. They even exclaim ‘Chineke’! even though they don’t know what it means!
Pusyiter: Why cant Africans learn just for once? This was the Mugabe moves and till date, see where it landed Zimbabwe. President CY, tread with caution ooooo.
learn? Learn what? To bow to white people and allow them to get away with stealing your ancestors land?
remedick: I don't hate the North, I hate the obvious abuse of rights of other ethnic group by the North. You always want to have your way in everything which hardly ever move this country forward.
One of the reasons Igbos and Yoruba fight is because they are proud of their achievements, they have something to boast on, it is merely ego-war and nothing more, not even close to killing each other.
The South often times have been the one putting the name of this country on global watch with their achievements in all the listed areas in the OP... and so far so good, only Dangote stands out.
Lamido Sanusi , the current emir is among the few sane Northerners that exist, going by his antecedence. Last year, he showed you guys your weakest point but you all attacked him and almost removed him from that throne. The man had to keep quiet ever since.
Okay, Dangote is the ONLY global achievement from the North for Nigeria.
Thread closed. Thank you all for your time.
I'm Yoruba and I agree with this honestly. And he hasn't even garnered that position through fair business practice. The first african to fly around the world solo?!? Southerner: yoruba: Admilola Odunjinrin. The computer scientist to develop the computer before it was widespread, southerner, Igbo: Philip Emeagwali. First African bobsledding team? Nigerian: Mix of yoruba and Igbo. International literary scholars? Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Chinua Achebe. First African to win Nobel Prize in Literature? Yoruba: Wole Soyinka. Heck CREATOR OF NAIRALAND? I can go on and on.
remedick: I am a southerner and our achievements is in thousands... I am giving the northerners 20 slots... I am not talking about local achievements. I am talking about international space that make other countries know that there are people in Nigeria too.
The South can't continue to be doing work while some others claim leadership...
mtis: Today's interesting news....for both countries (please note the polluted city is not Lagos )
look, I have a love/hate relationship with this thread. Love the pro Africa positivity, hate the inter-Africa attacks. But I'm SOOOO glad your.president is taking a strong stand for the BLACKS in SA. We need more people like him.
This is why Nigeria can't move forward. When the people prefer nepotism and preferring of tribe over the rules of law we all agreed to in our constitution. Imagine going to america and hearing white people say they will boycott a company for suing someone who might have broken the law. Nigeria isn't serious.
