Above is a qoute from a, Human Right Activists, called African China.

These tribal warriors killed many innocents Nigerians, then in the name of O.P.C in many parts of western Nigeria. I think Igbo's suffered the most. If yesterday mistakes are repeated today in the name of Amotekun then, we have to fear the future, because 90% of these Amotekuns recruits are from O.P.C militia groups. The Fulani herdsmen's will surely vacate Western while the criminals will continue their evils acts, for crimes has no personal tribe . what will be, after the herdsmen's have left ?. Will Amotekun ceased to exist or will they find another enemy in Igbo tribe ?.
We need answers please.

u people and myopic reasoning always raising dust when there no need

Fulani herdsmen and Miyetti Allah are for Northwest.

Boko Haram for Northeast

IPOB for Southeast.

I'm sure the Yorubas will welcome any part of the south that wants to come especially Itshekiri and Edo as they are our kindred. But they won't and we won't force them.

Not necessarily. Just like some don't want to be a part of Nigeria. People should be free to choose what and who they want to be.

Yes Oooo... Ride on Sire. The west wants to run a rogue security outfit when there’s a lot of para-Military police and the NA. No problem , they will never smell the presidency Come 2023. It’s a northerner and Oshiomole ticket

Why should the South West rely on security outfits that can't stop the daily carnage in the country? In the last twenty-four hours, over 100 people were killed by Bandits and terrorists in the North. READ THE NEWS!

The Yorubas won't allow their people to be kidnapped and slaughtered by idiots.

TO HELL WITH THE PRESIDENCY AND 2023 ELECTIONS. ON AMOTEKUN, WE SHALL STAND! NO GOING BACK. NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

AMOTEKUN IS HERE TO STAY!

_*Amotekun: The Yoruba Are Too Big, Any Attempt By North To Pocket Them Will Break Nigeria.*_

_*By OBINNA EZUGWU*_

_Let me say, straight away, that the Yoruba are no push overs. They are not a people that can be subjugated. Any attempt to subjugate them that might cause them to pick up a fight, would have far-reaching consequences and could indeed, break Nigeria. Amotekun, the new security outfit formed by the Southwest governors must be handled with care. The Yoruba, having been sufficiently provoked by the recent killings, kidnappings, and even rape of women and young girls by bandits mostly identified as herdsmen, are justifiably angry. Amotekun is therefore, a response to that. For them it has become necessary, especially because there hasn't been sufficient effort by the federal government to bring the perpetrators of the acts to justice. The killing of Funke Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was the climax of what had been weeks and months of largely ignored brigandage._

_But before then was the kidnap of a certain woman who visited home from either the United States or the United Kingdom. Her account of what happened to her and her family, especially her young daughter during their kidnap ordeal in the hands of the herdsmen was heartbreaking. It is the kind of story you hear and you begin to ask if there are still men in this place. To add insult to injury, the kidnappers, the woman had said, even abused her for being Yoruba. She had then asked, rhetorically, whether any Yoruba could try same in Sokoto. This is quite deep._

_That woman's testimony, I'm sure, had hurt feelings. The leaders of the zone, especially the governors must have felt impotent. Worse still were accounts that when such kidnaps happen, and they are reported to security agencies, they turn a blind eye. There had been rumours, too, that those apprehended by local vigilantes and handed over to the security agencies were released. I cannot say whether this is true or not. But such reports were, at some point, circulating._

_Amotekun is therefore, an effort by the leaders of the zone, especially the governors to respond to this menace. There is so much emotion invested into the outfit. It is not surprising that there has been unanimous support for it in the region and beyond. Amotekun has, and will continue to be the rallying symbol for the Southwest resistance. A traitor is he who among them, will be seen to oppose it. It is therefore important that the President Muhammadu Buhari government handles it with care._

_As often the case with issues that have the capacity to distort the existing status quo of the country, it has divided Nigerians along regional and religious lines. Various northern groups, including the Arewa Consultative Forum, Arewa Youths and of course, Miyetti Allah have staunchly opposed it. The reason seem not far-fetched. Amotekun could potentially create an alternative force to the conventional force now appropriated by the region for the purpose, it would seem, of controlling the country and calling the shorts. It is not by coincidence that Buhari has since handed over control of virtually all arms bearing security agency to his geopolitical region. On the other hand, the Southern and Middle Belt groups have rallied behind the move. Again, for obvious reasons. These groups have been victims of the excesses of the militant herdsmen. And indeed, have been at the receiving end of the perceived injustices of the Buhari government._

_The country is becoming increasingly polarised along these lines. Amotekun, if not handled with care by the government, could be the tipping point. Many people cannot understand why, for instance, the administration will have no issues with Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) and Hisbah police in the North, but cannot allow Amotekun. It is about control. Civilian JTF and Hisbah are in the North, controlled by the North and cannot therefore, threaten its control of the instrument of force._

_Apparently, the North is uncomfortable with any threat to the existing status quo. This is why even though it is just common sense that Nigeria should have state police, it's been opposed by mostly the region even in the face of growing banditry that has caused many communities there to become refugees in Niger Republic and elsewhere. But those in control must also know when to cede some grounds or risk everything._

_One great weakness of power is not knowing where to stop. There is always the tendency for the wielders that intoxicating instrument to want to overplay their hands, often with disastrous consequences. More so in developing climes like Africa where institutions are weak and leaders, be they presidents or prime ministers, assume the status of emperors._

_It would be overplaying of hand for the Buhari government and indeed the north to go all out against Amotekun. The truth is that a determined Southwest cannot be push overs. The Yoruba are a nation, complete in everything. They have access to the sea and direct borders with neighbouring countries. Interestingly too, there are Yoruba too across the border in Benin Republic and I believe, even Togo. They are not like the Igbo who are hemmed in by people who generally despise their guts and whose ultimate agenda in the country seems to be to keep them in check, even at their own peril._

_The Yoruba have, too, wealth -humongous wealth indeed and a large diaspora population. Added to this are strong traditional and religious institutions. They are the string that holds the country together. The country is as good as gone when that string is broken. The Igbo are, of course, largely fed up with the country. The Middle Belt is also upset about the killings in the region. Should the military or police unleash their guns on the Amotekun men and women when they eventually file out, the consequences could be far-reaching. Will the entire country turn against the Yoruba as they did with the Igbo during the Biafra war? Are you kidding?_

You create an armed regional militia to target a particular tribe, making no secret about it; meanwhile you heat up the polity and encourage your ppl to overload the cyberspace with derogatory supremacist remarks and insults against the other tribe - and still expect peace?

Anybody devoid of sentiments and with foresight will see how this thing, if not handled carefully, could easily get out of hand and degenerate into a tribal/regional war - especially in the light of some many reckless inciting statements from persons of note, who should know better.

But the action of Fulani herdsmen can't lead to tribal/ethnic war?
My problem with people like you is you are a big hypocrite that will always look at issues from a bias point. Activities of killer herdsmen is the reason why we Nigerians are angry with the north not some measures created by other regional body to solve the problem.

Let us look at an hypothetical situation where some Yoruba hunters invaded all the major highways, farms and villages in the north, kidnapping, rapping and killing Hausa-Fulani and the federal government headed by a Yoruba is indifferent or subtlety in support of their actions with a military set up dominated by Yoruba and Igbo. What will be the action of the core north by now?

You and I know that they will be attacking Yoruba and any minority in Kano and other major city in the north now! northern Nigeria will be burning as we speak if such a scenario were to play out, so who are you deceiving.

Some of us are old enough to know the north behave when they have power and when they are out of power. No region have monopoly of violence and Nigeria is an artificial state whose unity is very negotiable, it is time to start talking about the unity and essence of our unity

The problem with you guys is that you are myopic to your own bigotry; always condescending and quick to judge and interpret everything from a silly tribal/religious perspective.

The banditry and killings had never taken a tribal pattern; anyone with common sense can clearly see that it is purely criminality motivated; victims had never been targeted based on their tribe or religion, in fact majority of them are northerners (as can be seen from the attached infographic); yet you ppl are dishonestly turning it to look like a tribal issue and therefore now most unfortunately coming up with a tribally biased countermeasure.

Feel free to do as you want but be careful what you are wishing for; because if eventually this should degenerate into an anti-northern witch hunt then be rest assured that northerners will also react accordingly.
