You see

Buhari is a Disaster waiting to Happen, that is, if it is not happening already.

Anyone blaming Buhari on the Fulani herdsmen rampage, should just tell me one way he/she would tackle this issue if you are to be in Buhari 's shoe


Anyways...



DrabeeyWasHere

But he tackles Bokoharam
He tackled IPOB
He is tackling Niger Delta Militant

Nwanne, allow ur brains to grow before delving into politics..

Hopefully something positive will come out of this, but protect urself from these herdsmen.

The stone the builder reject...

kcnwaigbo:


well spoken!!! if power was suppoed to go back to the North for any reason whatserever.Buhari was never an option!!The man is an irredeemable bigot

Jonathan government under Boko Haram is an option.

When will Yoruba sons start learning not to fight these people's battle? They don't worth it..trust me

Impunity evolves and becomes integrated in conduct when crime occurs and no legal, logical and moral response is offered".

When 911 occurred, the President of America was right there giving both legal, logical and moral response to assure terrified Americans.

Can you expatiate on why you think Soyinka hated GEJ?

Jonathan was mediocre at best. He was a weak and indecisive leader. So much so that he can hardly get credit for the few good things he accomplished. It was easy for any person given to uncompromising standards to not like Jonathan. But then elections are about choices. And given not much of a choice between Jonathan and Buhari anyone with the love of civil liberties would have held their nose and supported Jonathan.

There is a Yoruba saying that even when we are crying we must still be seeing.

I could understand the generation that came of age after Hausa-Fulani military rule not having experienced the complete subjugation of other Nigerians to second class citizenship. But Soyinka's generation witnessed the conquest and effects first hand.

Obasanjo's greatest achievement as president was the neutralization of some of the institutionalized 'privileges' the military had built for the Hausa-Fulani oligarchs. This first grabbed my attention when during his regime when at a Nigerian Embassy I over heard a conversation between two northerners complaining bitterly how the unimaginable is happening at the villa as Yoruba language is being spoken in the corridors of power at Aso Rock Villa. Hither to Hausa had become the semi official language of the military and of government. By insisting on merit on many things Obasanjo began a roll back than at the end of his tenure he was the most hated Nigeria by the Hausa-Fulanis.

On a last note for those who say 'if they don't perform we will vote them out in 2019 just as we did Jonathan' you are on a long road. Obasanjo who was brought in by the north because theytrusted him having been at their beck and call as military head of state became their biggest regret the second time around. The more time removed them from direct power at the center the more desperate they got. Jonathan became a nightmare for them. They imagined as an Ijaw man he could announce one day that Nigeria was dissolved. Now that they are back in charge they will never give that power away again.

That is a good observation anyway

Read through the professor's letter. He has highlighted what should be done on a short term to curb the menace. If you can't understand what he wrote, tell lalasticlala to help you.

ajebuter:
Finally some home truth from the revered Professor

Hopefully, he wont be detained or a file springs up from a source detailing his shady deals in the past, thus warranting nocturnal visits from DSS and EFCC

Because that's how it is in Naija these days..

that's a warped mentality..

you sounded brilliant at first buh then spoilt d whole thing

Fulani herdsmen did similar acts during GEJ's tenure buh no noise like we have now

all I see is some group of pained peeps trying to frustrate Buhari by all means

m not saying d herdsmen are justified tho.

buy why crucify Buhari, blowing things out of proportion.. some are even asking him to resign

Eerie and chilling.
I just hope you are wrong and those of us that voted this government have no made the biggest and worst mistake ever in Nigeria.

jerseyboy:
Soyinka's support for Buhari in 2015 was perplexing for a man of letters. So many were blinded by hatred for Jonathan that they failed to see clearly that they were marching us back to the Egypt of our Fulani internal colonial masters.

mr man
there is what they call ‘mirror test’
give yourself a mirror test by recording this nonsense you typed here in your phone and listen to yourself. how does it sound?
he hated jonathan yet he supported him to become the president bysacrificing his everything despite his old age to to march in the scorching sun when jonathan was denied his constitutional right by turai yaradua an co.
if jonathan had performed well despite massively voted for by Nigerian in 2011<
, will he booted out in 2015?
sorry it is like you have very low retentive memory

U people after killing urself u wan't come blame buhari, cowardice people just herdsmen u cannot contend them, what will then say if bh hit u

I will reply you with a quote from jerseyboy above.

There is a Yoruba saying that even when we are crying we must still be seeing.

The fact that some of us campaigned and voted this government should not make us give the government a blank cheque of support.
What we will not do is destructive criticism, not everyone criticizing this government on this herdsmen problem is a hater, most are genuinely concerned.

Oga Soyinka next time u want to blow grammar abeg take am easy make common man the understand wetin u mean.

Back to the topic. I believe our president should read this article so that he will know that a lot of people are not happy with these Fulani herdsmen.

You didn't answer my question which was "expatiate on why you think Soyinka hated GEJ"?

If you could tell why you think that, it would make it easier to put your post which contains a lot of truth in proper perspective. However would it have been better if Aso rock continued to have Yoruba as lingual franca? Is it more appropriate to have ijaw as the official language? When will it be the turn of berom?

Why didn't we even vote Prof Pat Utomi in 2011 instead of mediocre(to use your words) GEJ?

Soyinka condemned OBJ in his book " You must set forth at dawn" published when OBJ was still President and he described him as devious. He condemned buhari in that same book. He fought for GEJ to be made acting President when most of those in PDP were wining and dining with Turai. The bottom line is that the old man has a right to change his stance and if you read him all through that period, you'd have heard him say how difficult it was to even look favourably in buhari's direction.

I, like Soyinka, believe we would have been in a worse situation politically, economically and security wise if GEJ had continued. Its a choice Soyinka was perfectly entitled to make.

How would you ensure an Hausa Fulani never get to aso rock again in a democracy with universal adult suffrage?

If there is one thing I have learnt from this unfortunate event is that Yorubas are the most influential and most fearless ethnic group in Nigeria. No Igbo leaders would dare say some of the criticism I have heard from some Yorubas. SE people needs to go and do some soul searching because they have been found out on a massive scale. The response from your Governors was a disgrace.

TO KNOW A PEOPLE,GO AND READ THEIR HISTORY.YORUBAS ARE WARRIORS FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL...I CALL THEM CONSIDERATE WARRIORS.
GENTLE BUT VERY DEADLY WHEN IT MATTERS.
YORUBA RESPECTS ALL TRIBES FOR WHO THEY ARE AND DO NOT BRING YOU DOWN UNLESS YOU ASK TO BE BROUGHT DOWN.
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,GO AND READ ABOUT HOW YORUBA SAVED THE WHOLE SOUTH FROM BEING COLONISED BY FULANIS AS THEY DID TO THE HAUSAS.YORUBA BEAUTIFUL MOTTO IS LIVE AND LET LIVE.

Think deep before you write!
Who are the people that voted for GEJ in 2011?
The same people have the right to vote for Buhari in 2015!
Jonathan messed up the chance that he had. If Buhari does same, he will be voted out as well!

I have read many books on Yoruba and Oduduwa. I do agree with your comments.

my question for you as an igbo is.. why now?

why didn't you canvass for security when it happened in agatu and mile 12.. instead you pple were creating silly threads, making jests here and there

even Bokoharam was not a concern for you guys.. as far as it was d North forgetting d fact that Insurgency is like cancer, it eventually eats deep and consume d whole body

you guys should have human feelingz.. and not only cry when things hit you

you my friend are a bigot. What has ethnic superiority/dominance got to do with this news?

theV0ice:

Whatever made Soyinka to hate Jonathan is hunting everybody including him. Calling Fulani's herdsmen to order and reminding Buhari his constitutional duties, to protect life and property should be our priority.The past administration's shortcomings should later.

Okanokan:


True! But remember "That in the life of every genius, there is a period of madness". 2015 was Soyinka period of MADNESS

Was it also the period of madness for Olisa Agbakoba, Alex Ekwueme, Pat Utomi etc?
