But why is this AMOTEKUN full of old men?
Old man plus 35 years of service, check it out, it not good.
They should start from 20 to 27 years old men and women.

Why do I see old men of 30 to 35 yrs there?
Where they commanders?

AMOTEKUN, WHAT IS THE AREWA NORTH AFRAID OF?

The level of apprehension, paranoia, and panic that has gripped the Arewa North since the inauguration of the Yoruba Regional Security Outfit codenamed Operation Amotekun (which is not even going to bear arms) is indicative of something very positive for the non-Caliphate rest of the country.

In the entire southwest, there are state owned vigilante services helping to provide security for the locals. In the East, you have the Forest guards in Enugu, the Homeland Security (not fully operational but has been approved by the police) in Abia and one of the best organized vigilante services in Anambra. Yet, neither the Northern controlled security agencies nor the Attorney General has declared those ones illegal.

Why Amotekun?

Well the answer is not far fetched.

It is not really the Amotekun the Danfodios are scared of. It is the fact that a Southern region was able to find the needed UNITY and COURAGE to look beyond partisanship and other mawkish considerations by setting up a regional security outfit to protect their people from a govt sponsored terrorist group masquerading as cow herders. The Caliphate sees this as a form of defiance on the part of the Yoruba. But even more than this, the Arewa North fears the ripple effect of the success of operation Amotekun and one of those ripple effects is that other regions which have been victims of the murderous indiscretion of the fulani killer herdsmen will follow the Yoruba example by setting up their own regional security. And when this is replicated in most part of the country, you will have Organic Restructuring even without amending the Constitution. This is their biggest fear.

As for Miyetti Allah, their fears are understandable; no thief will be happy that his victim has decided to put measures in place to secure his home.

What the Jukun people of Taraba just did, announcing their own security outfit is what every non-Caliphate part of this forced union needs to do. Don't just stop at showing solidarity to the Yorubas, come out with your own regional security outfit. This is not about the Yoruba as a people. This is about every region in the country making a bold statement that a govt which has refused to protect her citizens has no right to stop them from protecting themselves especially when the killers of these citizens are being protected by the same govt.

There is something the Southeast can learn from Amotekun.

The fact that both the official inauguration of Amotekun and the back and forth verbal gymnastics with the affidavit Attorney General are being handled by the duly elected governors of the SouthWest (most of whom are APC and even in their first term) has a lesson for Ndigbo: YOU CANNOT LIBERATE A PEOPLE WITHOUT BEING IN CHARGE OF THEIR POLITICS. It is your being in charge of their politics that will give you the needed legitimacy, platform as well as the structure to be their savior. As a matter of urgent importance, we must take more interest in the caliber of men and women managing our affairs at home. If we don't, by 2023 which is almost here, this same crop of politicians will still be running our affairs and no amount of social media insult and name calling will change that. When your regional politics is controlled by men who think of their political interests before thinking of your safety, you stand absolutely no chance of being liberated. You can dislike your politicians. But you cannot hate politics itself because it is the key to everything including your liberation. Political power is the number1 controller of all other powers. It is the reason some clown in Abuja can sit in some office and declare a regional security effort illegal. It is also the reason the Yoruba governors who are resisting him haven't been "gifted" with Python dance.

Because Amotekun is more of native intelligence than physical brawn. These ones are all charmed.

Only God knows the Fulani agenda for this country, maybe their aim is to colonize the rest of this country and turn it into their caliphate. What is wrong in regional police or community policing, especially in the face of Nigerian security challenges? Even the US practice state policing. We need to take back the kwara state from these evil nomads, Ilorin is an ancestral Yoruba land.
Forget about Ilorin. Protect the rest, They are coming against Amotekun. They will use NAF, NA and Nigerian Police once one Fulani is arrested or a cow is killed.

As a proud and bonafide son of Igbo land, I am fully in support of The Yorubas on this Amotekun. You guys have taken a very bold step and we your Southern brothers are highly proud of you. You have set a positive pace that every other southern region should do fast and emulate without delay.


How can one tribe be so blood thirsty that they invite terrorists and blood-thirsty illiterates from other war-torn African countries to come and be killing our own people in our own land in the name of rearing cow abi cattle, what kind of nonsense is that

If The Fulanis escalate this issue, then we will jointly tell them that it is time for Nigeria to be divided into Southern and Northern Nigeria for peace to reign since they have sworn to turn Southern Nigeria to another Northeastern Nigeria where they and their blood-thirsty Fulani brothers have turned to ruins in the name of fighting for Islam.....is it not the same Islam Yorubas are practicing Why must Hausa-Fulani Muslims enjoy killing and destruction

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

Southwest should not bow to their threats pls, the rest of Nigeria are solidly behind the Yorubas!

If hisbah exist as a parallel force arresting people that goes foul of Sharia code, then amotekun is even more legal as it's task is to protect all lives and property

Amotekun might be a good idea only to civilized and sane people. If it is established in a country where people are so evil and barbaric to even their brothers, then the disadvantages might be worse.

Those recruited into this security agency or whatever they call it should be scrutinized thoroughly so they won't end up like SARS and Nigeria Police which already are menace to the country. Let's not add more pains to our wounds. undecided

Where are the leaders of South East. Where they sleeping when the leaders of southwestwere working? One of the most devastating attack by the Fulani herdsmen was carried out in Enugu which falls under the south east.
Do they think sharing bags of rice and keke napep is the most pressing needs of their subjects?
Do they think collecting chieftancy titles is an achievement?
It is time the easterners should demand an answer from their leaders on what strategies they have to better the lives of their ppl and not supporting some seccessionist biafra.
I am truly proud of the west for this achievement.
Long live Nigeria and long live the southerners who have over the time been marginalised and fallen victim of poor leadership since the history of independence.

Re: South-West Governors Move To Legalise Amotekun by Nobody: 6:43pm On Jan 18, 2020
I see great opinions and idea here. I think the SW should ask the federal govt to explain the legality of the Islamic police in the Northern part of Nigeria and if no constitutional explanation is given, then the federal govt should then explain why the Islamic police in the northern Nigeria *was and is still* allowed to strive well with support form the state govt of the various Northern state. The federal government should also explain why the sudden focus on the south west security outfit and ignoring the existence of similar structure in the northern part of Nigeria all this year's

So you think Yorubas are mumu. Ofcourse we know that Amotekun is for Tinubu and his ambition naaa. But Miyetti Allah and Fulani herdsmen is for Buhari and Northern mafia and ambition so we will pick Amotekun anytime any day. Atleast if Tinubu Bleep up too much we southwestetners know how to treat his Bleep up.

So in your mind you think Ilorin can't be taken back, I hate talking with weak people. Nigerian topography and landscape show clearly Ilorin is part of Yoruba land, it is on the side of river Niger that belongs to the West. With a simple social and political restructuring, the region is going back to Yoruba's. Even most of the people currently in Ilorin are Yoruba's, it does not even require any military solution.
