Legendhero I hope you can see the evidence of the Nigerian state colluding with black Americans to run Igbo and Yorubas down.

The anti-southern stance of the ADOS group is being orchestrated by NIA and Pantami.

It is important Yoruba people that are protesting for a Yoruba nation in the US, are aware of this and see this clip.

It will seem as though a few IPOB people residing in the US, went out to get this damning clip. They should make sure the organisers of the Yoruba nation protest are given this clip.

I don’t want this to degenerate into ESN and ND or OPC debate so as not to miss the line of thought.

But I can bet you Boko Haram were at their peak when Jonathan was in power so your argument that Nigeria (Fulani) government are the one that makes them bold.

ESN that Abba Kyari and his small boys decimated within few weeks before the Igbos started speaking up and showing that their land has been invaded? ESN? ESN that the command was demolished few month after Buhari said he will treat them in the language they understand. Same ESN that their leader was captured without retaliation and become toothless bulldog even with Kanu in detention.

Bro ESN is not as 5% deadly as Boko (At least for now, I don’t know the future), they don’t even have the terrain for that and ESN are geographically at a disadvantage.

But let’s leave that back and forth and focus on these ADOS guys. Well you might be right that the Fulanis or NIA are the ones fueling this but I don’t always subject my logic to conspiracy theory. Looking at how we treat those guys and clubhouse bringing the world close through speech, they might just take the step of antagonizing us on their own because they always join rooms where Nigerians spread their dirty linen in the open.
ESN has not even been around for up to a year yet, but the Nigerian security forces were devoting more security materials to fighting ESN. At some point, the Nigerian security forces started deploying soldiers from Borno to the east. That alone tells you the seriousness with which they view ESN.
The Fulani government even declared IPOB a terrorist organisation, when they were just waving banners. But in all the gragra of OPC with guns and charms, it never even crossed the mind of the rulers to declare OPC a terrorist organisation

And yet, ESN still powers hard. Just a few weeks ago, after the kidnap of Kanu, Fulani bandits thought the road was clear and they went on a killing spree in Enugu state and were taunting ESN. 24 Hours later, ESN showed up and cleared them. SInce then, we haven't heard from those Fulani terrorists.

Boko Haram does not have what it takes to declare a sit-at-home in the Northwest. Fulani herder/terrorists do not have what it takes to declare a sit at home in the northwest. Most definitely OPC cannot declare a sit at home in the Southwest.
Only two non-state organisations have been able to do that in the history of Nigeria. MASSOB when it was powerful, and currently, by IPOB/ESN

Even when a whole president of your nation came to Owerri to gloat, IPOB humbled him by declaring a sit-at-home all over the south east. He was made to look like a powerless president, and the influence of IPOB overwhelmed him. Boko Haram will not be able to do it. And please still bear in mind that ESN is just a vigilante organisation and has not even been around for up to a year.

One of these days, I will take a look-in into ClubHouse and experience what you are noticing. Pantami and the NIA are obviously working overtime to change the narrative in the African-American community

Lol there is nothing IPOB is doing today that OPC of the era of the early 90s did not do. You know how many times policemen were killed and bombs used in Lagos in those days?

There is nothing IPOB is doing that the Niger Delta militant haven’t done. ND militant are more deadly and daring than any other organization whatsoever.

The Northerners are even more deadly, more daring, beastly when triggered with no regard for life too much and we see how the Kanuris started the Boko Haram that the military even dreaded till now.

What I’m saying here is that each tribe can be deadly depending on the situation at hand and what kind of war there were being pushed to.

However on the issue of blacks, I think based on generational issue of slavery and most of their direct grandparents living the times it makes them damaged psychologically and they are so beast in nature.

I’ve know blacks are crazy before but in the clubhouse room that day I can feel the hate and savagery in how they operate and think especially towards Nigeria tribes except Fulanis. It seems someone is feeding them wrong news and I think some Somalis are also masquerading as Nigerians going ahead to attack blacks so that they can turn against us. Like 3 people spoke on that stage that I’m 99% sure are not Nigerians but they claim Igbos and Yorubas so I think there is a game at work.

I doubt it was orchestrated by Buhari. I think the blacks are matching the Igbos & Yorubas because they said we look down on them in America and that we call them Akata, Negroes, and other demeaning words and we always take their jobs or so. They know Fulanis don’t come to the USA and they know how people always abuse Fulanis on clubhouse so they just chose the divide and rule concept. Befriend Fulanis and extract info from them about Igbos and Yorubas because it was actually one Fulani guy that reiterated that we call them Akata on that stage.
The Nigerian government tries to make northern militants appear invincible, but haven't you noticed that these Fulani terrorists always come out second best whenever they confront ESN. But when these northern groups confront the Nigerian army, it is arranged so they can comfortably steal planes and armoured tanks. Why are they not showing that daring behaviour when they are facing ESN?

Even till today, the Nigerian military and police are scared of ESN which is why they can't do anything to counter the sit-at-home homes orders. It took the express order by ipob for the current sit-at-home to be halted.

OPC, Niger Delta militants and Fulani bandits were never declared terrorists so there is no way they would have faced the opposition ESN is facing. ESN just needs a more qualified commander in chief, and also bear in mind ESN is just a vigilante group.

Black Americans can't intimidate Igbos with violence. They don't have what it takes to intimidate Igbos especially in the US that people can own assault rifles.

Now getting back to the group you are talking about, it is the duty of Fulani controlled NIA, to be organising such clandestine moves, making it appear as though it is an organic movement of African Americans willingly choosing to be anti Yoruba and Igbo, nationalists hole being pro Fulani.


I can guarantee you that Buhari's government's hand is deeply involved in that action

Lol IPOB intimidate black Americans?

Blacks are different breed of human and so psycho. They have been opening rooms against Nigerians on clubhouse claiming ADOS and that’s where you’ll see how much some of them are starting to hate Nigerians and you will be amazed as to how much they know Nigeria and the tribes.

Infact the ADOS once opened a clubhouse room praising the Fulanis as their only friend and that the rest of the tribe always call them house negros and Akata and etc.

How they know about Fulani still remain a mystery to me. They only accommodate views of people that talk good thing about Fulanis and if you say anything bad, they either move you to the audience or block you.

Blacks don’t chestbeat o know that. They will shoot you and kill you because they really don’t value life that much and the gang lifestyle is deeply rooted in their soul.
Igbos have faced much worse. Unarmed Igbos that are facing helicopter gunboats and fighter jets, and yet still have the balls to go bump off stray police and military men.

But more importantly, genetically speaking, it's alleged that a good chunk of African Americans have Igbo ancestry, and if that detail were to start emerging, the protesting black Americans will start having s cond thoughts.

There is a reason, the Buhari I government was desperate in ensuring Igbos are not a part of this protests, believe me.

Now you already know that the current Fulani government controls the levers of power and because of that, gym hey have access to resources which they can deploy to subliminally get uneducated black Americans to see things the Fulani way, while destroying the Igbo and Kalabari Yoruba image in their midst.

I know that IPOB involvement in these protests will unearth what they are hiding

AntiBMC:
Total bunkum. If not for Nnamdi Kanu and his radio, who would have been talking about referendum today?
MNK sensitized everyone, including the so-called Tony Nnadi, whom no one knew of, until quite recently.

You here criticizing a man, who has done the whole work, giving pple like Nnadi soft landing. Is Nnadi not riding on the back of IPOB ryt now?

Saying that MNK should have worked under Tony, rather than with him...has given you away.

For the records, ur ill-thought comparisons here is inconsequential.
Igbos only know of one person who has brought them this far, and that is MNK. Any other person is simply playing second fiddle and can never measure up to him. Know this and know peace. Udo.
A typical Nnamdi Kanu person. It's always about ME, ME and ME. It must be Nnamdi Kanu heading it, whether he is qualified or not.

Well, get it from someone that knows more about these things than you. LNC started talking about Referendum, years before IPOB was formed.
Also bear in mind that it was not Nnamdi Kanu that formed IPOB. Those that formed IPOB had already started talking about referendum, before Kanu joined, and snatched IPOB away from them, because he was controlling Radio Biafra.

You can rightly say that IPOB probably got the referendum mantra from LNC. Take this to the bank.

I will still repeat that Nnamdi Kanu should work UNDER Tony Nnadi, and help him to get close to the grassroots.

Nnamdi is a master at speaking and communicating with the grassroots, while Tony Nnadi is more elitist. But Tony Nnadi is a master at strategising and has the competence to put up structures more appealing to the international community, and with which, the international community will have no problems negotiating with. Nnamdi Kanu does not have it.
PoliticsRe: UN Protest: Yoruba Nation Agitators List Six Demands As Buhari Departs Nigeria by OfoIgbo: 12:18pm On Sep 19, 2021
I am hoping people are seeing the huge difference between Tony Nnadi and Nnamdi Kanu.

While Tony Nnadi is very alright with installing others in leadership roles, Nnamdi Kanu monopolises such, even roles he has no qualifications to take on.

Tony Nnadi is the brain behind LNC, NINAS, MNN, but he will hardly ever take on the chairmanship role of any of these organisations.
He will rather opt for well-established elders, and he is super-strategic when choosing these elders.
Fred Agbeyegbe is the chairman of LNC, that comprises both the SE and SS. Agbeyegbe is a renowned Itsekiri elder statesman and a legal luminary.

Prof. Akintoye is the chairman of NINAS and renowned history professor of Yoruba ethnic stock and a respected elder.

If Nnamdi Kanu was the person doing what Tony Nnadi is doing, Nnamdi would have made himself the supreme leader of LNC and the commander in chief of NINAS and these are roles he has no qualifications whatsoever to take on.

Now, Tony Nnadi is more qualified academically than Nnamdi Kanu to take on these lofty roles, but Tony, being a super strategist, has opted for well-established elders, while he(Tony) occupies the engine room of the movement.

Can you now see why lately, the high and mighty in the society and in the international community are more likely to associate with Tony than with Kanu.

Elders like Ebitu Ukiwe, Akintoye, Nwodo e.t.c. are openly attending meetings called by Tony Nnadi.

Freedom fighting is not just about rallying the keke-drivers to be waving Biafran flags and screaming HOLY HOLY HOLY NNAMDI KANU IS ANOTHER SAVIOUR. Total rubbish.
These are the cannon-fodders in human form, used by the Fulani-terrorist government to embed bullets, knowing full well their leader does not have the international connection to rally the international community to investigate.

Tony Nnadi is a far more competent freedom-struggle leader, but he is super-young, and he knows that, which is probably why he appreciates elders with related mindset, and is very happy with them leading the major arms of the struggle. Something Nnamdi Kanu will never do, but will rather use his radio station to destroy such elders, while his zombies will cheer him on, while at the same time, be wondering how he was so easily captured and tortured in Kenya with no one raising an eye brow.

Tony's Achilles heel is that his link with the grassroots is not as powerful as that of Nnamdi Kanu. If only Nnamdi Kanu had agreed to work UNDER Tony Nnadi, Kanu would have been communicating and rattling the grassroots while Tony will be in charge of the planning of the struggle and the establishment of the necessary arms to carry the fight beyond the shores of Nigeria. This whole struggle would have been the most explosive the world has ever experienced. Igbos would have been overwhelmingly represented in the upcoming 24th September match at the UN event.

It's tempting but misleading to judge the historical events of the 19th century with contemporary parameters.


1) What happened in Ilorin around 1820 and many other political entities of that era was a struggle between States/Kingdoms/Empires and not strictly an inter-tribal war as we now understand the tribes.

2) Alimi did NOT invade or even killed Afonja (Alimi actually died before Afonja).
The Ilorin Jaa'ma (Muslim Ummah comprising of people of different ethnic backgrounds) allied themselves with Sokoto Caliphate which was the nascent Muslim State just directly up north of Ilorin.

3) This Ilorin Jaa'ma did so to prevent themselves from being ruled further by Afonja , who though had relied on them and used them to secceed from Oyo Empire but nevertheless wasn't a Muslim himself and had no intention to become one.

4) The Ilorin Emirate under Abdusalami as Amir Al-Muslimi (the leader of the Muslims) and it's subsequent affiliation to the Muslim Sokoto Caliphate was constituted much more later after the death of Afonja.

6) With time, the Ilorin Emirate transformed from a Theocracy into a Monarchy just as it's often the case everywhere.

7) It should be noted that the Jihard of Usman DanFodio started as a religious war and not really an inter-tribal war.
The Fulanis were a settler minority tribe in 1804 and the indigenous peoples would have closed ranks and killed them off if they had carried out the Jihard as a FULANI Vs Non-Fulani inter-tribal war.
Remember that Buhari put on the Nigerian toga around the 2015 presidential election, but once he got in, he threw it away and immediately became a Fulani champion.

That has always been the Fulani way. Fulanis were not the only muslims during the whole Usman Dan Fodio terrorism, but for some reason, all the territories conquered in the name of Islam became emirates headed by Fulanis.

Every excuse in the world, will be concocted by the Fulanis to throw a wool over the eyes of unsuspecting locals, to push them into getting rid of indigenous rulers, after which the Fulanis will immediately bring in a Fulani ruler

Who told you Ilorin Emirate bows to Sokoto Caliphate? What are you sayinghuh You seem not to get the point that Constitutional authority is what is governing Nigeria now and not Monarchy, traditional or religious authority. As it stands now if you check the Nigeria customary law, it is divided into Ethnic and Religious based, the Sultan of Sokoto styled himself
as the Muslims religion head which Ilorin Emirate does not subscribe to but based on the Constitutional authority which the Fulanis are privileged to be using in their favour now, if the Sultan tells the Nigeria government the moon is out and they should declare so so date as public holiday for the Muslims ceremony, it binds not even only on Muslims but every Nigeria so those are the facts on ground and we don't have to pretend about it. Power is the key, once Fulani loses that power, you see how Sanusi was disgraced out of his sit in Kano, that's is how Sultan will be replaced by an Hausa Man.
You are speaking my language.

Nothing is set in stone. Once you realise that, and I believe you realise that, every other thing falls in place.

It was the British colonisers that handed over such undeserved power and authority to Fulani, which is why Hausa as an entity is almost extinct, and completely subsumed by the Fulani superclass.

If Yorubas are truly the majority in Ilorin, eventually they should start demanding that any oba or emir of Ilorin must be completely Yoruba, up to the person's grandparents.

Today, Ijaws are trying to take over Ubani (Bonny) and Opobo, which were clearly recorded by neutral European observers to be peopled originally by Igbos. The Nigerian system, totally corrupted by Fulanis have allowed the Ijaws to start claiming Bonny and Opobo. But if Igbos decide to lay aggressive claim on those territories, it will be proper, after all it has always been ours.

The same goes for Yorubas of Ilorin. The Fulani-controlled Nigerian system is trying to psychologically keep Fulanis, relevant in the cultural life of Ilorin. The Yorubas of Ilorin must never allow that to happen.

The Fulanis you fear and you think they are powerful are just simply riding on the 1999 constitution that all. We will get power come 2023 and you will see that Fulanis are the weakness ethic group in Africa.
The bolded is what I need to be hearing and reading. Denying reality doesn't make it less real. Changing the reality is a much better way of going about it.

The facts on ground are that the Fulanis have a vested interest in Illorin emirate, and the Ilorin emirate bows to the Sokoto caliphate.
Extra facts being that this cultural domination only started about two hundred years ago, when Alimi carried out a wicked coup against the Yoruba landowners.

What Yorubas have to do is to acknowledge the current Fulani usurpation of cultural headship over Ilorin, and then ensure to reverse that injustice. Denial of the current fact, is like playing the ostritch.

Ilorin never had oba, Ilorin is part of the towns owns by the Aalafin and Afonja was in charge of Ilorin, Afonja rebelled against Aalafin and the war took a dimension of a sort of religion war, Yoruba Muslims against the Yoruba traditional religion, even the Yoruba Muslims in Ilorin actually killed the Aalafin of that era, later on they Fulanis rebelled against Afonja who enlisted them to fight against Aalafin, if Afonja was a Muslim and he was killed, the Yorubas Muslims would have dealt with the Fulanis and chase them out but Afonja himself was a strong traditionalist so they felt he should be eliminated. After that, the Yorubas Muslims killed 2 Emir of Ilorin before they accepted a proposal Yoruba Muslims (Larubawa) to reign as their religious leaders that is the Emir of Ilorin. Emir system or Emirate is not owned by Fulanis, it is actually an Arab practice common amongst must Muslims country example UAE, Emir of Qatar, Bahrain, even the Taliban are adopting the Emirate state In Afghanistan so you guys should stop appropriating what the Fulanis did not even have the sense or idea to conceive to them, you are placing them where they do not belong.
The bone of contention is not whether Ilorin had someone that bore the title OBA. The bone of contention is also not about whether Emir, Caliph and Sultan are Fulani words. OF course I know those words have middle-eastern origins

Secondly, that Ilorin emirate bows to the Sokoto caliphate. And we all know that the Sokoto caliphate is the source of Fulanisation, in Nigeria.
