Nice one from afenifere,
But stop believing aboki's are illiterates, those educated guys up north are so sound that you will end up doffing your cap when you gets to know them.

What we Igbo's saw 50 years ago Yoruba's are just seeing it now, glory be to God for opening their eyes

omojeesu:
Thank you! But is there a word for cheetah in Yoruba?

Lion = Kiniun
Tigee = Ekun
Leopard = Amotekun
Cheetah =

Snipper007:
I pray it works or we all will forever remain in bondage, imagine threatening awhole race that wants to safeguard the life of its people same thing the bloody Fulani infested government has failed to do.

beejay85:
Blatant falsehood.... Northerners are less learned...heavily dependent on qouta to forge ahead in any discipline....
Check their cut off point from common entrance to UME and u will weep for that region

SultanOfAbia:
Just Like Django
The Slaves are now Standing Up To Their Masters

LandMann:
We all should put emotions, tribalism and ethnic hatred aside and examine this issue of Ametokun based purely on its merits and demerits and in light of existing laws.

The following points should guide us:

1. Internal security is an exclusive task of the FG. FG can give authority to state or local actors to improve security. Example; local vigilantes and some paramilitary organisation like Man o War must acquire police permission before operating... This is an example of FG giving other actors permission to act in improving security.

2. There's no federal law or agreement between federal and state outlining the activities to be covered by Ametokun, given the existence of police, nscdc and other existing internal security outfit... This agreement or law is important to avoid conflict between these organisations when issues of security occur. We're still dealing with superiority contest between FRSC, VIO, NSCDC, YELLOW FEVER, POLICE AND ARMY on our highways...

3. With no national law or agreement coupled with high level of illiteracy and unprofessionalism of most state workers, state governments can quickly start using Ametokun as instrument of oppression and a means of further looting state resources because security spending is often shrouded in secrecy, and even Ametokun members can take to crimes as side hustle when they start feeling dissatisfied with their salary. They have the training and the instrument of force (guns)... Who's going to prevent them from misusing both and how?

The above are just some issues worth considering.

If all the loopholes are properly plugged, then Ametokun can kick off.

We shouldn't cheer on the idea even with the obvious loopholes because it can quickly spread, every region can quickly have their own version of Ametokun and it won't be long before outside actors start smuggling weapons to these different regional Ametokuns and with the existing ethnic hatred, it won't take long before another civil war arises that will tear Nigeria apart and make current Libya and Iraq look like heaven compared to how Nigeria will look like.

We should protect our country, not our states or region or ethnic enclave.

Joshmodest:
I don't mean to sound bigotry , but this is Afeni feri's most sensible statement yet ...Fulani people should know that they are not superior to any region of the country in terms of population , education and enlightenment ....
I wish Afeniferi can carry over this anger till 2023 and join hands with the Igbos and the middle belt ,to kick out this people who think they own Nigeria .. Unfortunately I doubt they would , cos its no news that they are not united like Nigeria Delta militants or Biafra , these are mere words of anger !!!
BTW i hope they consulted the landlord of the south west Tinubu , before making this statement , if he doesn't cotoh in this pohoh then it's irrelevant !!!

femmy2010:
I am Yoruba and I am sure Mr Yinka Odumakin, is not speaking for me.
The governments should have done it right and prove to us they are doing it right.
We do not know how the Amotekun operatives were engaged/employed
we do not know how much they are paid etc.
Just imagine of Amotekun in the hands of politicians. May God help us.

Tinubu will distance himself from all yoruba groups, he will go behind and beg the northern cabals soonest.

Josh44s:
Hisbal police in the North is what sire? Why isn’t anyone admitting the truth. The core owners of the Northern part of Nigeria “The Hausa” have been infiltrated and dominated by the marauders “the Fulanis” and they are trying to shift their cause to conquer the entire South, East and West gradually. This step taken by the West is a huge setback for their cause to conquer the entire nation. This is the plain and bitter truth everyone is turning a blind eye to or refusing to speak.

achi4u:
I wish Yorubas can stand with their words for once and make the fulanis have fear for once.


But at last na story.

The sad part of it is that the Igbo's did not add wisdom to their pursuit! The Yoruba's take a long time to execute their plans
