You cannot provide security, we provide our own security you say it's illegal. Why didn't you declare illegal the use of generators that we buy because your gencos and discos cant supply electricity? Just because you don't want any obstruction for your cattle on our lands, you are declaring our security measure illegal, bring your cows and watch if Amotekun (Leopard) will not devour them.

Thank you, my brother. Nigeria is at a crossroad all thanks to these empty-headed Northerners that will die protecting the interest of the minority Fulanis rather than their own interest.

The questions I the people against security outfit set up in the west to checkmate kidnapping is what are they going to lose if insecurity is fought? I fail to see what the North stand to gain for the continuous criminal activities of herdsmen.

Cattle is a personal business the earlier these scum headsmen get this into their brain the better, we in the southwest don't want their cultures of violence and destructive tendency, we will not only checkmate the criminal elements among them, but we'll also ban open grazing.

Why are you telling me?
Go and tell Buhari.

Clown.

Empty headed people always result to insult when they have nothing going for them.

Let it sink in your empty skull, you have to worry more for your self and region than the Yoruba that holds all the card to your economic prosperity.

Psalmy2cute:
they won't do anything.. yorubas are quick to oppose others.. when the bad news does not affect them in anyway.. yorubas only remember southern unity when they feel threatened.. this is fact

No one is calling for any southern unity, Yoruba are only interested in protecting their future in the state called Nigeria. We'll continue to champion ideas that will protect us from an envious enemy that wants us to be as backward as they're.

CSTR2:
Amotekun is illegal.
Anybody caught doing it will be arrested and treated like a criminal and rightly so.

You can't vote in a government and then try to shied yourselves from its control.

Amotekun is here to stay, the baby men of the east will only continue to wail in pain.

We are not looking at only regional police force in the West, we also exploring joint economic forum, rail development among the six southwestern States and our other economic initiative to make use self-sufficient from the federal government control.

The young Yoruba generation will demand for more restrictions of all ungrateful economic immigrant from both the North and the south. We'll be strict with employment into our civil service, allocation of land will be based on your loyalty to the Yoruba cause. The time of the enemy within the camp will be a thing of the past

eldoradoxx:
South West has been enjoying the benefits of their support for Buhari over a Jonathan would never have in his his wildest imagination dared tried to outlaw Ametokun. We gave Nigeria a decent, kind and gentle man but was betrayed by those who were ment to defend and advance his government. They betrayed for a porridge of yam called VP Osibanjo and FIRS head.

Gradually, the spirit of Afonja (betrayal and sabotage) will leave our South Western brothers. Hahahaha

Stop playing this stupid betrayer card. Politics is a game you either play it well and win or play it badly and lose, no one betrayed no one.

It is sickening for southeasterners to call Yoruba betrayer when over and over the east has always been in alliance with the political north to scuttle Yoruba interest at centre despite not having anything in common with the North. The naive easterners were responsible for Jonathan failure at the pole with their antagonizing antics and the name-calling of potential allies in the south and middle belt. Blame yourself and your people for Jonathan failure, not the Yoruba that Igbo help Jonathan government sideline.

Coming back to the issue at hand, the Northerners are only delaying the doomsday, it will surely happened, Nigeria is an experiment that will surely disintegrate soon. I am happy with the current development, it will alone fast tract the actualization of Yoruba homeland.

careytommy37:
The MSM will do everything to put Trump in bad light. It's all part of their 'OrangeMan Bad' agenda.
A rogue nation coordinates an attack on a US Embassy. but when the US retaliates but smithering the lead attacker, it's suddenly a call for WW3?

I'm sure the US is waiting for any country to say sheet against their action so they can quickly sama dem economic and political sanctions.

Who gets to define what is a rogue nation?

Saudi Arabia and are allied are currently bombing Yemen without any sanction from America. The USA invaded Libya, Irag and Afghanistan and nobody labelled their government terrorist or the USA a rogue nation but harmless Iran trying to protect her interest in the interest of external aggressor is then labelled a rogue nation

jumper524:
Why are you guys fighting over US and IRAN

Normally we should pray they both go to war.
If IRAN is at war, it means less sponsorship to terrorism (in fact the terrorist may be forced to go assist IRAN)
Secondly there would be a shortage in oil supplies which in turn increase the price which is a win for Nigeria.

If US is at war it also means less economic sanctions on Nigeria which may also Strenghten our naira.

So it's a win win..

A war with Iran will bring too many uncertainties to global economy, hence growth might slow down leading to low demand for crude oil and natural gas.

Such war will also split over into Suni countries like Saudi Arabia and other Gulf state, such split over will also accept Suni sympathisers like Nigeria which may end up destabilising our very fragile democracy. Terrorist group sympathetic to Iran and the Shia may also use the opportunity to target Nigeria since it is a Saudi ally.

Finally, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are the largest sponsorers of terrorism all over the world because a majority of the world terrorist are wahabist.

Truthbites:
I have lots of SA friends.they don't live in slums. Can u compare Nigeria slum to south Africa slum? I was living in VI then and they lived close to my others in lekki. And they were always complaining of the houses. Imagine o, complaining of houses in VI and Lekki axis... Most of them went back to SA

South Africa is the most unequal country in the world with 1% of the country (mostly white )controlling over 70% of the wealth while the bottom 60% only controls 7%.

About 55% live below the south Africa poverty line of 992ZAR ( about N25,000) which is very poor when you consider the cost.

Without apartheid that discriminated and rendered most south Africa black illiterate, South Africa would have been much better

IronGalaxy:
with due respect, I don't think you know what you're talking about

Go back and check the history of every Africa country dominated by the white minority to check the living standard of the black majority from the old Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Namibia (by German) Apartheid South Africa are few examples

Truthbites:
You sound very strange. Do u know if the whites had remained in Nigeria till 2015, Nigeria would have been Like Europe? South Africa is an example...so don't come talk 'sheet' here

But they were around for 100 years and they did zilch nothing what makes you think than being around till now we make us any better.

If Nigeria was to be a comfortable country climate-wise where European can settled en mass they wouldn't have left Nigeria and most of you typing rubbish will be living huge slum far away from where decisions and economic activities are taking place.

South Africa was a very rich country with massive arable land, huge gold and iron ore reserves for 200years yet, the white south only developed a country and economy for 15m white settlers while the black majority lives in very horrible condtions, till date south Africa black are still suffering from a long year of discrimination and lack of education.

tillaman:
you are very correct man, if not for their light and the way they designed their economy it’s more like the immigrants are the ones working for their locals to eat, I have never seen a poor Emirati since I have been visiting Abu Dhabi, I think they pay each family some amounts monthly or so, their secret is just good leadership they don’t have half of our resources

They actually have more oil and natural gas with a very small population. Nigeria oil wealth is a mirage, the more you look the less you see

itsme01:
you are right... PPP is the main solution, look at lekki ikoyi bridge, it seems government loves mediocre project while private sector goes for standard

Lagos Ibadan or Abuja- Lokoja gave to Dangote with just a toll fee of 300 to passengers would solve the problem FERMA and Ministry of works Budget billions on annually

Our problem is lack of political will to drive home some of the reform needed to turn the country around reasons why having people like Fashola in the ministry of work is a welcome development.

Nigeria civil service is one of the most corrupt in the world, ministries where unqualified people are given top jobs due to nepotism, resulting in the total mess we have as FERMA and ministry of work.

itsme01:
the road he is constructing is pure concrete and steel, only few countries like Germany has that unlike asphalt roads

Rigid pavement is quite expensive to construct but more durable and cost so little in maintenance.

The one his company built in Kogi state is solid as a rock.

I think public-private partnership is the way to go

pls use your senses, things fall down due to there density not because a magic called gravity pulls it down. The so called law is still till today a theory never has it been proven. How does gravity make oceans stick yo a ball earth.

LegendHer0:
Bro check the front page of Nairaland anytime issue of MURIC is brought up, you will see that even Muslim yorubas have been denouncing him. Carry out this same research on Facebook where you can validate the name of the people denouncing MURIC.

Shariah law already outlived it’s importance several centuries ago. It’s a barbaric culture that shouldn’t be even discussed at this present age by sane minds. So you mean I will actually succumb to a law where my fingers will be cut off? Olorun maje.

I don’t know why you guys are not seeing the bigger picture. MURIC and CAN are actually spokespersons for politicians of APC and PDP. You can see Prof. Akintola is an APC apologists while the CAN are PDP apologists. Check the utterances of CAN during the days of PDP.

Even in the Muslim world, people still find it very difficult to understand and implement sharia law not to talk of a country where more than half are actually known Muslim.

If Northern states with Arab wan't to be majority can't implement Sharia law properly what makes them think that the liberal Yoruba Muslim will be able to do it.

Akintola is a no body in south west among even Muslim, he is just the spokes man of the Saudi Arabia backed 'Wahabist' movement whose leader is the Sultan of Sokoto. The common Yoruba only care about an improved standard of living and how life will become meaningful to them.

I remember when I stop praying totally and declare that I am now an Atheist, my mother was saying '' Esin se pataki, to bale kirun ma losi church oloru kon ni gbogbo waunsi '' imagine such a culture of tolerance among different faith.

uninspired07:
You’ve spoken well. I guess didn’t research you enough to know your stance on MURIC. The 24/7 news cycle covering the subject of Islam is one that will surely instigate fear in any non Muslim & most liberal Muslims have still not done enough to dispel the notion that the religion is not a violent one.

Characters like Prof. Akintola have also reinforced in fear in the heart of fellow Yorubas who hitherto had a mental picture of religious harmont in Yoruba land.

I pray more than anything else that my fears are not established because it will be a crushing blow to millions of Christians in Yoruba land.

People must understand to begin with that the Hausa-Fulani of the North uses religion as a uniting factor among themselves and different tribe in the North in other to project power just like the way Yoruba uses ethnicity, It will be disadvantageous to we the Omoluabi to start dividing our selves along religious line because the good coexistence among Yoruba is a thing of strength to fight against our enemy in the entity called Nigeria.

The ship has already sail, Yoruba will always be Yoruba first before whatever religion we may choose to fallow and as people become civilized religion will continue to play a lesser role in people daily to daily activities.

Dedetwo:
All the above are arrant nonsense. The restructure carries more weight than bandage approach stated above. The restructure of shithole called Nigeria will involve both political and economic restructure. The system of government will change, the citing of Abuja and Lagos in South-south and southeast political must be manifested respectively and the silly and stupid idea of quota system must be jettisoned. If these are not attainable, then the shortest and simplest mean is old fashion disintegration. The simple disintegration has been trending in eastern Europe for more than a decade.

Please if I may ask, can you itemize the things you want the Nigeria state to change or restructured?

When you talk about these changes do you mean, we should go back to the structure in place before 1966, or as six geo-political zones or each state act as semi independent country as it is being done in USA ?

Because i don't understand the part where you say '' citing Abuja and Lagos in the south-east and South-south ''

Perkins2018:
Yet many ignorant ipob always blame buhari for not restructuring Nigeria.

The truth is nobody is ready to restructure Nigeria. No lawmaker from the south supports restructuring. Southerners only blame the north for not restructuring Nigeria due to their hatred and ignorance. Nobody wants to restructure Nigeria.

Another thing is states can make laws that will force Nigeria to be restructured. The northerners are already doing things that should provoke southerners towards taking steps that will naturally restructure Nigeria.

States should make their own laws like the northerners are making sharia laws and turn the heat up on northerners.

This i just the obvious truth. Nigerians east of river are delusional about their importance and resources in their domain ( mineral, Agricultural and human resources). The truth is majority of Nigeria state are not economically viable to stand on their own, couple with our materialistic culture resulting from free crude oil money, the elite and the political class know this, reasons known of them are passionate about restructuring like the common man in the street.

The reality we found our self in Nigeria required that we need to change our current system to a more efficient one. We need to look at our ever increasing population, our poor technical an engineering education and ever increasing poverty rate especially in the North. Nigeria is currently sitting on a time bomb waiting to explode if we don't address all our social problem.

The truth still remain that the core North is the most backward region and major drawing back to whatever reform that Nigeria needs to unleash her potential as an industrial giant, we have all what it takes to be among the top leading economics in the world. We have abundant natural gas, fairly educated and highly enterprising citizens, very arable land mass, adequate surface water and the market. What we lack has been leadership owing to years of Northern Military juntas with nothing upstairs running the affairs of the nation and the politics of sentiment that end us with clueless Jonathan and now brainless Buhari.

LegendHer0:
I think regionalism will be the best bet. Making states control their resources like you opined will be devastating because most states will collapse suddenly and the aftermath of the problem will not be easy to contain.

With regions, it will still be a lot easier coz there is no region without a viable state if you’ll divide them into Hausa/Fulani, Yorubas, Igbos, Middle belt, and South-South people. This imply that they can still share resources within a region among themselves until each region can be able to stand on their own.

This is the best arrangement.

Osaze007:
I’m sure you want only state to continue because your from an oil producing state and you want the funds to be enjoyed by your state lol

But some local government with this oil resource can also agitate to have an independent local government due to greed, where we will stop.

The only reason, I want Nigeria restructure is to unlocked the potential of some lazy Nigeria states

Osaze007:
I’m sure you want only state to continue because your from an oil producing state and you want the funds to be enjoyed by your state lol

Regionalism will be the best arrangement, the country should be restructured based on ethnic group and minority group that share a similar religion are culture should be lumped together to form a different semi-autonomous nation

jahsharon:
When EU, US and China bans cars from using petroleum products and use only electric cars. Then nobody will buy your fuel again, you will start hawking your fuel in Lagos holdups, then you will go and find better things to do apart from screaming our "oyel" money. I will see where you will get money to buy food stuffs produced by Hausa/Fulanis. For now, we will spend that your "oil" money together and when there is no "oil" money, we will leave you and your oil spill polluted environment.

The oil will never become useless this century. When the car stop using oil, factories, the power plant will continue to use gas from the delta.

Hausa Fulani is rapidly turning into a desert if care is not taking you may not have a homeland to support life. Niger is a case study.

ogbuefi677:
You self,you confuse.
You are either hausa or fulani or nupe or Kanuri,etc.
Nothing like Hausa fulani.

There are Hausa-Fulani. Most Northwesterners are Hausa-Fulani

Nowenuse:
Oooh, never knew it was you. Of course u know the difference. I've been liking your comments.

Ok, bro. I always look to see your input here.

Nowenuse:
Yes they are, those ones are.
The person u quoted doesn't know the difference between indigenous Hausa Christians and Southern Kaduna Christians who speak Hausa as a 2nd language.

I am the guy he quoted and I can easily differentiate between an indigenous Hausa Christians and animist from other Northern minority Christians.

Christians from Northwestern states like Kano, Sokoto, Katsina and Zamfara have these indigenous Hausa Christians/animist population while Hausa speaker from elsewhere in the North will have their ethnic group.

EMILO2STAY:
There is no 2ways about it. The earth looks flat because it is actually flat.

The earth looks flat because of an optical illusion. The size of human with respect to the radius is so large that the earth will look flat to an observer here on earth.

If the earth is Flat, how then do we experience day and night at a different part of the earth at the same time, why do we have the same time zone along the line of latitude and difference of approximately 1 hour every 15° degree we move from west to east?

shadeyinka:
If God is indeed a Spirit as the Bible says, what is the wisdom in using a telescope to view/see Him?

Your level of intelligence is seriously disappointing!

The concept of God is a big myth coined by stone-age men.

Originakalokalo:
A telescope is useless in that it cannot see into the end of the universe.

It is also useless in that it cannot see thoughts.

Science has not been able to stop deaths.

Even with the best doctors and equipment, people still die.

Science is limited to the physical, even the physical has not been fully conquered yet.

We have Cancer, Ebola, HIV, Sickle cell, Diabetes, High blood pressure, Organ failures, etc.

These have not been conquered and you are talking about using the same science to SEE THE SPIRITUAL

can you imagine this?

If a book was written by an alleged all-powerful God is busy talking about the Earth, the Moon and Sun in the same contest when in reality the sun of 333,000 bigger than the earth, that should tell you something is wrong with such God.

Basic knowledge in cosmology will render all religious text useless. The stone age men that wrote those book did so using their very crude knowledge of observing all these planetary bodies from Earth, their point of reference is here on earth that is why all they talk about is the Earth, the sun and the moon.

magzey:
The way you see it doesn't matter, let kano practice its law none of your fucking business.

Until Kano state can finance their budget without sharing from resources from crude oil from the south or taxes from Lagos.

When we have a restructured country where every state depend on their internally generated revenue, then they can make whatever law they want, until then Kano problem will be our problem

Osaze007:
I know that’s why I said Oyo and Osun are the only Yoruba states where Muslims are up to 40%

I have lived in Abeokuta ijebu Oyo Ilorin Akure and Lagos

I have lived among Yorubas since I was little I know them inside out

But I am Yoruba from birth, would you know Yoruba more than I do?

Ondo and Ekiti state is the only Christian majority state in the southwest and even in these state particularly in Ondo state, Muslim is still a majority in the Akoko axis a geopolitical zone with like four local government, there sizeable Muslim in Ondo town and Owo. Muslim will be at least 25% to 30% of Ondo state. The last governor of the state was a Muslim by birth.

Oyo is the most populous state by the indigenous population in the south-west, they are a majority Muslim state 60%

Osun state are majority Muslim state 70%

Ogun 55%

Lagos is hard to call but among Yoruba there, about 45% should be Muslim.

Since around 75% of Kwara population is Yoruba, Muslim should 75% of the Yoruba populprodominatle

Kogi west is predominantly Christians

Kebbi has a large non-Hausa Muslim, it is possible to have Christians and animist from kebbi state, though they are still in the minority because Hausa-Fulani is the majority there.
