Shut up. Emir of Ilorin have Yoruba bloodline. Research about it and stop being an illiterate here

Don't mind him. Emir of Ilorin has over 75% Yoruba bloodline. The people of Ilorin only allow him to continue to occupy the ceremonial position because of religion. That being said, The Fulani/Hausa/Nupe/Kanuri stocks in Ilorin are less than 5% of the total population. An overwhelming population of the city are Yorubas.

Hell with APC and "One Nigeria" we don't want restructuring or the presidency. Oduduwa republic is all we want, not even a Christian president. When oduduwa republic is achieved we will start maltreating Yoruba Muslims like Abibatu Mogaji, bola tinubu, lai muhammad, fashola, until they run to the North. So that we will make Christian academicians, like Wole Soyinka, Wande Abimbola, Sophie Oluwole, Toyin Falola, Lusiah Teish, Stephen Adebanji Akintoye, Kola Abimbola, and Jacob Olupona as Yoruba leaders. Fun facts; we will use Amotoken to get oduduwa republic. Tunde bakare and Oyedepo will be our president and prime minister in the Christians Oduduwa republic.

You are not a Yoruba.
We know our self

Dosvedanie:


I understand you very well man. 20% of the houses in Agege are owned by Abokis, same at sabo in IB, just to mention few places I'm aware of. Southerners might definitely have more properties in the North, as their land value is low compared to the south.
If the north is still the most impoverished region (landlocked) after several years of ruling, wonder how the south will suffer more if we break up.
Without the south, the north is not different from Niger republic.
The UK will stop using fuel by 2050, likewise many other countries. We go dey alright las las.

Southerners have properties in the north but that pales in comparison in the value of subsidy the north enjoys from the south.

If Nigeria disintegrates, it will shock you that most ethnic groups in the north-central and northeast will like to go with the south.

Oshigun:


My bro, I wonder OOOO. It is even an indication of the delusion of Northerners that they can issue this redundant challenge they will be the heaviest victims of if Yorubas retaliate.

Aside from Abuja, I have never set foot in any State in the North and remain yet to see anything that will make me do so.

Bro, there are a huge Yoruba population in Kaduna, Kano, Niger, Katsina.

Look at the El Rufai cabinet, You will see a heavy Yoruba presence.

That being said, Yoruba will only relocate to Yorubaland when a no Hausa-Fulani is left in Yorubaland. When no kobo of our resources is used to fund the budget of any northern states. This will happen when Nigeria disintegrates.

Also, the Fulani can't lay claims to any land. They should tell us there homeland. If the Hausas, Kanuris, Nupe, Gbwagi etc are telling Yoruba to evacuate then they have a point.

Please remind us of the fight you have been able to win by yourself. Don’t talk pass your power. You will sit on the sidelines like everyone else has done at various times in this country.

All this wailing no one can hear because the world has bigger problems than loudmouth Nigerians

If you over push your luck too much you will find yourself with Niger and Chad in the same country, cut off from the arable land of middle belt tribes and the oil in southern Nigeria.

The stupidity of the comments in this thread. The north brought in OBJ, same north voted in Yar Adua and GEJ the north voted GEJ over Buhari when GEJ started listening to bigoted fools the north voted him out.

Don’t forget it’s Southerners that removed zoning in their shortsightedness under GEJ.

Nobody will vote for SE president go and deal with your bigoted internal problems.

You will not win elections without northern votes. Bring good candidates and we have always supported.

From 2003, the north had wanted Buhari to become the president of the federal public why the rest of the country including the middle belt has been giving them the middle fingers.

The core north never made Obasonjo in 2003, Jonathan in 2011, and Yaradua (intact most northerners voted Buhari instead of Yaradua)

hotwax:


They have weapons now...no matter how brave you are, you only need one bullet to take you down. You want to face AK47 with bear hands. Thats why we asked them to allow us carry gun.

Fulanis are the only group of people who are licensed to carry gun. Or you think these fulanis get liver if they see guns too?

Don't mind that chest beater jare!

If people are allowed to carry guns, Fulani terrorism will be a thing of the past.
Bambaras in Mali are currently dealing with Fulani as we speak, simply because the state armed them to fight back

PaChukwudi44:

Buhari is the one in charge of the army and not the Governor.

Look at the way you are cowardly begging aboki because of imaginary presidency promised the SW in 2023.How many times have FriendNG apologized or try to give explanations for the thousands of southeners killed by fulani herdsmen?

I don't really care who becomes the next president but at least we should get someone on the ticket that can safeguard life and property, give the economy a boast and generally solve the problem of kidnapping and banditry.

I know how much I have spent on flights on location I would rather drive to. Nigerians are not safe, the economy is in shambles and you think I really care more about the ethnicity of our next president that how competent he is?

FriendNG:


But are you denying the fact that bullet was fired and not by police officers?

No bullet was fired. Most of the destruction was done by hoodlums outside the market.

What I expect the governor to do was to deploy enough security men to the Hausa quarter in Shasha and be on the ground to stop the hoodlums from arson and harassing mostly northern traders.

FriendNG:



Not only that. The southwest governor(s) encouraged the attack in Shasha market.

Rather than ending the crisis, they use Amotekun to shoot at innocent traders. That on itself is a state sponsored terrorism.

Hence Amotekun has portrayed itself (in this case) as an ethnic militia and not a community police.

If you say that the Oyo state government didn't manage the violence well, then you have a point but to say he collided with Amotekun to kill northerners in an insignificant market, then that is being mischievous.

He should have acted on time to bring normalcy to the market but he never sided with anyone in his handling of the unfortunate incident.

QuotaSystem:


With peace, understanding & mutual respect everybody wins.

But it is not in the interest of the politicians, especially the opposition, for peace to prevail. Therein lies the dilemma.

Hence they stoke tensions, people are rubbed the wrong way, emotions run high and they react - sometimes excessively.

To be honest, everyone is guilty for escalating the crisis because the amount of gloating and insensitivity when innocent northern traders were killed in Ibadan was highly inciting and blood curdling. I personally abstained from commenting on the herdsmen crisis for months because there was clearly a political angle to the issue, but the general reaction of the majority of southerners (particularly SW) to the Shasha incident put one on the defensive. It was an unfortunate incident and it is best we all bury the hatchet, put it behind us & forge ahead; shaming the wicked politicians in an altruistic effort to collectively create a brigher future for us all. Cheers.

You are spot one.
The event in Ibadan is unfortunate, many innocent northerners fell victims to what has nothing to do with them. They were just the common men looking for what to eat and the gov't of the state should have acted on time to bring everything under control.

I also agree with you that the press has not really been of help with the amount of fake news they have been churning out. What we really want is a Nigeria that works for everyone.

We all can take the blame for what Nigeria has become and at the same time work in making it a better country for all. I believe that our diversity in geography should be an advantage for us all. We should be working and fighting for a better country that will be able to protect the interest of the most vulnerable member of our society. Chears.

QuotaSystem:


Honestly I wish this whole selfish madness would just end. Its really a race to the bottom.

All I want is a good, God-fearing President for Nigeria & Osibanjo is a good man, but y'all need to turn down the hateful, derogatory rhetoric from the SW.

What hateful derogatory rhetoric?
How do you even want the Yorubas to react when communities upon communities are being attacked by Fulani bandits in Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, Kwara and Ekiti?

The people of the north-west suffering from the continuous attack of bandits may not look at it from the prism of ethnic attacks and a bid to take over their land from them since there the Fulanis are indigenous to that land but the Yorubas don't have such a relationship with the Fulanis.

Everyone knows that without the Fulani issues, the southwest would never have risen to hate or push negative rhetoric against the north but instead of smart people like you to dose the tension, you keep on escalating the whole thing by calling us names and playing politics with it.

Everyone knows that the Buhari gov't have been sympathetic to the Fulani criminals and terrorist against the interest of other Nigerians. He has used the instrument of States to protect them while playing dead to the yearning of other Nigerians.

People wouldn't just take it and assume that everything is okay, just because the interest of an Osinbanjo or Tinubu is on the line.

I will rather have peace, be able to farm and travelled around and have an Igbo president than the prospect of being kidnapped in my homeland and on the road with a Yoruba president.

I understand your plight OK, I served during Jonathan/Buhari 2011 presidential election in North East, lost virtually everything but a Northerner saved my life, it was a horrible experience but I learnt something from the whole scenario.

Kwankwaso did everything against Jonathan in 2014 and Jonathan eventually lost the 2015 presidential election but barely 2 years after Kwankwaso returned to PDP and was busy celebrating with Jonathan. DO NOT TRUST OUR POLITICIANS, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MASSES.

not all Northerners are evil, not all Igbos are evil, not all Yorubas are evil but all politicians would do anything to protect their selfish interest at all times, thank you.

I was born and still resides in the north.
Hausa/Fulani only want an arrangement where they get to dictate all the terms.

Trust me, Nigeria will never develop in its current configuration and the Hausa/Fulani elites will rather die than allow it to be reconfigured in a way that will bring progress. They will continue to need a subsidy from the South and will continue to sabotage any effect to make it work because, in reality, a working Nigeria will put all the power in the hands of southerners.

I supported Buhari, I was a pro northerner in the past. I erroneously see myself as one of them due to religion and acquaintance but the truth is, the only thing they need all none Hausa/Fulani for is to win elections and shield themselves against criticism.

But we can't continue to play second fiddle to people that should be crawling on our feet.

You can never relegate the majority in a democracy. Never.

The power of the President is severely limited by the legislature, especially when it is not a friendly one.

President that can be impeached in a jiffy once he steps on the wrong toes especially if they are the dominant in the NA?

Lmao Seun this is not a comedy club please.

No wonder the majority Hausa Fulani were crying everywhere when Obasanjo was the president.

I can't remember the number of mosques that we're pushing dangerous narratives against the Yoruba when Obasanjo was the president.

You are not the majority, the three regions in the South have more people than the north and if the middle belt is put into consideration the odds will strongly be against you.

The leadership of the army can easily be reconfigured to suit the whims of the president to push an agenda. Also, the army is dominated by northern Christians, not Sahelian.

If a southern president that knows how to play politics becomes the president, the easiest thing to do will be just to empower the middle belts and northeastern minorities.

Maobichek:


Good day, I saw your thread where you did your best to inform Nigerians that not all Fulanis are kidnappers and I supported it with a comment.

From your comment here, it's evident that you know Nigeria more than many ppl here in Nairaland; most ppl claiming to be Hausa/Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba here are imposter, most of them have not even travelled out of their region. For some of them, NYSC gave them the opportunity to travel out of their region but hate and tribalism could not allow them to see anything good about their region of service.

I stay in FCT and some of my friends here are from Kano, Jigawa, Kogi, Ogun, Abj etc. We have good and genuine ppl from all regions in Nigeria and we equally have evil ppl from all the regions, thank you.

You don't preach unity to people that will easily slaughter you when there is small disagreement. People that believe it's is their birthright to lord over you when in reality they can't lead and do justice to all the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

Thank goodness your sensible elders, from HRH Ooni to Tinubu to GSM are wiser, humble and employ diplomacy accordingly.

I'm 100% sure that I'm at least 10years older than you. I speak Hausa fluently and I have been to most northern states.

I don't hate the Talakawas Hausas on the street, what I hate is the hubris of the elites that are mostly a hybrid of Fulani. The elites that don't understand governance and how to position Nigeria on the part of progress.

You can't tell the Yorubas on one hand that you will sabotage their interest and expect them to be your friend. If you try to sabotage me, I will sabotage you and come down hard on you because when Nigeria disintegrate, the Yoruba will gain more than the current affairs of things.

The previous king was a Christian. Go and verify.

The whole thing has nothing to do with religion but the tendency with Mostly Hausa/Fulani playing politics with everything to subjugate the northern minority Christians. Most of these guys have been marginalized in their land by mostly immigrant Hausas and Fulani.

The south had the North effectively under control in 2011. That election showed the strength of southern unity until it was broken by the SW in 2015

Jonathan messes up the goodwill and fails to reinforced his southern base. If Jonathan had shown magnanimity to Yorubas, today we wouldn't have Sahelian saying rubbish on this page today.

That being said, no matter how hateful people like you are towards Yorubas, I will always vote a progressive Igbos any day rather than vote a conservative parasite from the north.

The Yoruba intellectuals will continue to drum the injustices against Benue, Southern Kaduna, Taraba, southern Gombe, Kebbi minorities, Nassarawa etc the throats of northern minorities. We'll continue to push propaganda to win and weaken the hegemonic forces of parasitic Hausa/Fulani elites. The game will be play to divide and cut you, people, off.

You plenty of enemies already in the north due to your greed and your hubris. I'm with what is happening to Tinubu, this will teach more Yorubas the lesson they need to learn and win more people and resource back to secessionist Yorubas.

The SW greed is what will destroy the south and not the North.As long as the SW keeps pushing for a SW presidency in 2023, the more likely power will remain in the North

The power remaining in the north will be more disastrous to the Igbos than any group in the south. You will not know this because of your hate for the Yorubas is more important to the interest of Igbos.

I was in Owerri just this weekend, Incan see how welcoming they were of Yorubas and other southerners. I can see how the only problem they have is the Fulani herders that have made life unbearable for all southerners and middle belts. I can see that it's important that power must be wrestled away from the north and if you fail to see this, then we have nothing to talk about.

Pure, unadulterated delusion of grandeur.

Any assumed obligation has been eroded by recent events, and I find it amusingly surprising that you all cannot smell it.

Right now, the SS, the goose that lays the golden egg, are in pole position to clinch the Presidency with overwhelming northern support. As much as I love Tinubu for his loyalty, his region can no longer be trusted to protect northern interests and that has always been the compass that determines our political bearing. Amaechi & Jonathan are the candidates to beat as things stand.

There are actions, then there are consequences.

Northern interest is not paramount to the Yorubas. Yoruba interest first in Yorubaland and Nigeria at large. We can't relegate our interest to the back just because we want to play to the gallery of the Sahelian.

What do you bring to the table to warrant all the hubris?
What will the Yoruba lose for falling out with the core north when they can play a spoiler to win the middle belt and northeastern minorities to their side or better still when they can exit Nigeria?

The only people that need to be really worried are the Sahelian. The only people that will be cut out completely when the going gets tough. The only people that should be on their knees begging the rest of us. Forget about social media and go to the street and the real world. The level of distrust amongst Nigerians towards the core north is at an all-time high. From the minorities tribes of northeastern Nigeria to the middle belt, to south westerners, to south easterners.

The north is only overrating themselves. It's only normal that whoever is in power tend to set the political direction due to absolute power. The north couldn't challenge OBJ, he singlehandedly chose his successor without the north daring him. GEJ would have been equally powerful if he had carried the SW along - his biggest mistake.
It's only natural that the north clog around power when Buhari became the president. In 2 yrs, Power returns to south and the north takes a backseat.
Everything na turn by turn. All this noise bores me abeg.

That is why I don't take most political analyst here serious.

A Nigeria president is too powerful irrespective of his ethnicity. The North has no leverage over Nigeria because the resources are in the south.

Bro, nothing is wrong with Jonathan contesting under the APC. It may even be a good thing for us the Yorubas. It will destroy whatever synergy we have with the north and make the Yorubas see them for who they are.

I don't understand what you really want. Do you want another northerners that will show open disdain for you or a liberal southerners ?

seunmsg:


You actually expect Jonathan to come out publicly to confirm that he’s joining APC? He will keep denying till he eventually joins the party.

Personally, I will welcome him to APC with open hands. The more the merrier. Power must return to the south in 2023 anyhow they want it. However, the south must maintain the power for at least 8 years. It is now left for southern leaders to put their heads together and outplay the north in their game. Jonathan will be extremely stupid to hand over power to the north after four years if he ever becomes the president again in 2023.

People don't know that power is a beast that is hard to tame. The APC governor may be playing themselves for taking that route.

Jonathan will carry his team along when he wins, the equation will change and will never favour them.

Hostility will increase for core northerners and their interest in the southwest and the core north will lose out in the long run.
