Nonsense headline
If vanguard published this, then it's a disgrace

Living in denial by hiding your head in the sand like the proverbial ostrich won't cut it..
Your cousins are here and they're baying for your blood...
Every alignment, every treaty, every gang up, has its consequences..

ariesbull:
are these people Yoruba ? Bearing Tunde does t make one Yoruba ...Rotimi Amaechi isn't Yoruba

Bearing Ibrahim doesn't make you an Arabic also

There are Yorubas in kogi state…
State was created by human beings but their culture remains Yoruba.
They all speak Yoruba dialects and everything about them is Yoruba…. Stop letting state confuse you..

kettykin:
It does look like not just illorin and the whole of kwara will be gone but South west Kogi is now under a real threat. May God help Nigeria.

Tinubu is doing excellently well.
He has donated Kwarra and Kogi states completely to the Fulani so that he would get their votes in 2027.
That's why he's not doing anything about the violence in those areas.

MadPolitician:
IPOB and ESN at work to take over Yoruba land .
They want to impose their Eze Ndigbo.
Fulani are our cousins and our bond with the fulani is inseparable

As ur cousins d northern govt is making peace deals with bandits they r advancing into the south west to flex their muscles, don't worry very soon u il be paying ur cousins huge sums for peace in ur House

I doubt that ..they aren't Yoruba in Kogi State they just started speaking Yoruba due to trade the way Tiv spoke Hausa due to trade also

olabrad:
My wife is from kogi state and she is Yoruba. Her family originated from the local government and still live there till today. Smart Adeyemi, a Yoruba man is an indigenes of kogi state, same with Dino Melaye, another Yoruba man.

Some people will just open their mouth and say rubbish fueled by shameless ignorance. Small time now, they will start claiming that they travel more than all other tribes. Yet, their traveling has not enlightened them enough to know that several local governments in kogi state belong to Yorubas.

Bunch of empty chest-beating noisemakers!

The person you quoted just used sarcasm.

EasyGoingBabe:
Hands will touch these bandits someday

My sister, ever wondered why hand never touch them since? The real controllers and owners of these bandits are in government, sadly the politicians still. To make matters worse, banditry is learnt in the north now... The fulanis now sees it as a lucrative business with little or zero resistance from the government. Your current minister of state for defence is a key stakeholder in that field. So many governors of Northern states, one short dwarf former governor ,and one former VP are all culpable. This is a known fact to even neighbouring sahel countries. But as usual, Nigeria is blessed with mofos as leaders.

chiagozien:
There's no Yorubas in kogi, Yorubas are only in 5 south west states.

kabba

Can all these stop the sagacious one from "clinching" that mandate a second time?

chiagozien:
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and ipob is the problem

Small small dey choke this people neck.

Cc tochi3

shox:
kabba people of kogi state are Yoruba speaking people.

Bandits are just trying to chase them down south to Lagos and afterwards to the Atlantic Ocean or the republic of Benin where they can set up idp camps

Just like I've been telling Madridguy

The Agenda of the Fulani Terrorist will Take over North Central States of Kwara and Kogi, Chase away the 5 % minority of Yoruba speaking people

Okay, your opinion doesn’t change anything

bewla:
This thing is just to much

I hate it when you see trouble loading
And fail to do something about it


The government, citizens, media all contributed to this

Government fail to improve the citizens welfare package
1 after retirement from service
2 after reporting crime to the authoritys


Citizen believe more in
1 bad news
2 trust in any thing


Media are over happy to

1 announce crime then to project good deeds
2 bad presentation in area of reporting



We all have to change our mind set to achieve Nigeria we all want


Ire oooooo

Very valid observation. The people, the government and the media are all doing a form of damage to this country.

You fail to see the sarcasm in his argument, this is exactly the response he wants from you, we all know there are yoruba native speakers in kwara , kogi , and EDO and even delta state, same way there are igbo native speakers in kogi , delta , Edo, akwa ibom, benue state, rivers state bayelsa state and cross river state, but anytime igbos talk about it they are called unity beggars, attach by force etc

blamingthedevil:
Total fake news and gibberish by vanguard

Do you know anyone in those areas who can confirm for you whether the news is fake or not

U dnt knw anything.... And u are bragging in ur ignorance

In the article, it was said that only 7 out of 21 local government were yoruba regions. So my question is, who inhabits the other LGAs?

I am from one of the yoruba LGA in Kogi and it's so bad that we go to church every Sunday with Guns before we can worship in "peace"...
It's actually worse that the media captures.
And To make matters worse, the governorship of the state is being rotated amongst the other 2 senatorial districts with the yoruba speaking side totally marginalized hence the reason for absolutely no infrastructural development in the least form.....

Oga... The okun pple of kogi state are yoruba... Even the ooni of ife went there in one of their festivals.

Okay i appreciate.

Igala, ebira speaks yoruba too na, abi?

Leave chiagozien alone. Let him be making a f00l of himself. In this 21st century, to think someone who claimed he went to school still declares there is no Yoruba in Kogi state! What then had he spent his life learning?! Has he even learned anything at all throughout his life?!

Attache by Force..




Stop grabbing other tribes

Fake news.

The writer failed to mention at least one name of any town or village that has been sacked by the bandits.

We all know that bandits are everywhere but at least if you actually see something then say something for people to know and it will be helpful to security agents too.

To me, the writer wrote this piece from his bedroom.
