Journalist Rufai Oseni Fires Back at Critics Who Say He’s “Not Yoruba Enough” Over Political Views

Renowned broadcaster and Arise TV journalist, Rufai Oseni, has responded strongly to critics who have questioned his Yoruba identity due to his political commentary.

Speaking during a live broadcast on Monday morning, Oseni addressed what he described as “tribally motivated attacks” from individuals who accuse him of not being “Yoruba enough” because of his objective stance on political matters.

The journalist’s comments have since sparked widespread discussion across social media, with many Nigerians commending him for his courage and professionalism. Others, however, argue that journalists should be mindful of how their views are perceived in a politically divided country.

Political analysts say the incident reflects the growing tension between ethnic identity and political loyalty in Nigeria’s current media and political climate.

Rufai Oseni, known for his fearless approach on the Arise Morning Show, has continued to advocate for a more issue-based national dialogue, urging citizens to move beyond tribal lines and focus on accountability, governance, and national unity.

If he says he is Yoruba, so be it.

Yoruba has accounted for over 70% of national activists, counting from pre-colonial era.

As it stands today, check out the prominent activists, they are Yoruba.

God bless the Yoruba nation.

According to them, once you are not supporting the APC and the Notorious Drug Baron, you are not a thorough Omo Oluwabi

So Pathetic

If only 10% of Yorubas are as straightforward as this man, Nigeria would have been a much better place. 🤔

Hehe so if u are not like Portable then u are not Yoruba? Are we forreal?

And who cares 😏

Kdjdjdjjjk

Yorubas hate themselves.

They think everyone is a tribal bigot like them.

They don't know there are sensible ones who don't reason from their anus.

Lol Rufai is Yoruba and I haven't seen him use any slur on us before.

He is just a LP/PDP politician just like the rest of the Yoruba in PDP. Rufai is a PDP/LP political analyst on television and also an aparo journalist.

Rufai don pieces Yoruba oooo. What he did, I can bet it anywhere that 99.999999% Yorubas cannot do it. Never!

So for you to be Yoruba,you must swear an oath of allegiance to Tinubu,you must be tribalistic over good reasoning.
You must surrender your sense of judgement and act like a zombie.You must be a slave that loves his chains....a great man once said 'that the greatest weapon in the hands of the oppressor,is the mind of the oppressed!
Accordingly,you must surrender your mind to your oppressor,in other to be a true Yoruba.
Rufai Oseni is one of the most liberated and informed journalist of our time,posterity will definitely be on his side.He is born to be a journalist,his story will be told far and near,from one generation to the other.
His name will be written in gold. Characters like Oseni,is now a disappearing act in our time,especially now that saying the truth is a revolutionary act!!

I use to know that thing when we were young, nje o gbumo, it's mostly in ijesha Language tho my dialet

The moment you refused to be part of their dirty politics of tribe, they see you as omo ibo


Pathetic souls

That's his own way of building his brand. He was a completely unknown fella before the Obidient movement started.

So Pathetic

It is the same thing if you are not supporting Peter Obi! You people should stop the hypocrisy.

Mr Rufai too do abeg
Easy Rufai

Even the blind can see that you are already "Nigerian enough"; and as such, we don't need anyone's opinion on the matter.

Take heart bro! I understand your pains. If I were in your shoes being terrorised by Rufai, I might have gone to hug transformers close by. Take heart bro. You will survive it

Its the drug barons followers that must be saying that. They expect everyone to dance to their wicked tune. They hate the truth because they are inwardly full of dry bones. They never had any regard for Pa Adebanjo because he also stood for the truth.
God bless late great Yoruba men like Gani Fawehinmi, Fela Anikulapo Kuti etc, and more recently men like Farotinmi and Rufai Oseni. These are people that have refused to swallow the ethnic poisoned chalice the drug baron has fed his mindless minions with.

I really don't care about his yorubaness or not...


But I saw objective somewhere in the post. Rufia is anything but objective!

They are surprised because he is not a hypocritical person just like many people from that side.

Just like we will be surprised to see an average Igbo man who will not die because of money.

Or a Fulani man who will not kill because of cow.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wonder why? Is being Yoruba now synonymous to supporting a drug criminal?

Shey na Mexico abi Colombia we don turn to ?
