not maturity but selfishness. wanting to reap from both sides.

real leaders always take to the side of what is right.
those who fought to liberate the black the not stayed in the middle. those who fought for Nigeria Independence did not stay in the middle.
only cowards stays in the middle hoping to reap from both sides.

refusing to side with what is right because of fear is a symptom of mental slavery

let me ask u 2 questions dat will ansa you

is it in the Nigeria constitution to create a regional complimentary force ??
is there anything bad if ppl come togeda to provide solution to their security challenges ??

gud leaders don't allow emotions or sentiment to blind their sense of judgment ....baba is saying let the 2 come togeda and thrash it out

Tinubu is speaking from both sides of his mouth on this.

Summary of what he said:

He is not saying that Amotekun is bad but he is not saying the government is wrong either.

However, both of them cannot be right at the same time because the government's position on Amotekun about the legality of it.


Federal Government had the luxury of consulting with the state governments directly to understand their operations before they chose that position.

My brother, we don't have a leader in the mould of awolowo. Tinubu is only concerned about his political ambition and survival.
When the north bared their fangs at awolowo, he moved a motion for the breaking up of the north especially the middle belt!! When the motion failed, he hit the road to educate the middle belters on the need to be independent. That is yielding fruits today. A leader does not think only about the present, he fights for the future.

Let's wait and see if Tinubu can really midwife a truce between FG, Miyetti Allah and the southwest states without sacrificing amotekun as he seeks to portend in his grammatical treatise.

Oga you said so much to say nothing.
Typical cos you didn't disappoint me.
Do the Hausa/Fulani leaders speak from both sides of their mouth on such pressing matters that directly affect their people's safety and wellbeing? Do the Biafran leaders?
You are the exact kind of leader the Yoruba nation does not need and the North you are asslicking will still betray you.. ask Obafemi Awolowo, ask MKO.

Nicely written but not convincing enough. The security of lives is that number rule of any government. There are no constitutional right that the president has to block the roads while passing through, there are no constitutional rights that give the president not to obey the court of law, there are no constitutional right to make arrest without arrest warrant, there are no constitutional right for EFCC to seize any Nigerian citizen property without court issuing the go ahead.

There are a lot of things that happens in our country that isn’t constitutional but we allow them happen. If we can allow all those and more happen then why would anyone in the world will go against what will protect the lives and citizen of a particular region. In Nigeria history in the 50’s we have regional programs. You can imagine a community of 10,000 people and you have just 1 police station with 2 police men. How are they suppose to protect the lives and property of the citizens in the environment. Constitution only works when you have people alife, constitution won’t work on dead citizen. First priority of life is right to lie.


We hold and recognise the sanctity of lives but shouting Hausa-fulani remains the enemy how do you wish to collectively achieve such feat of protecting lives?


That's why we have rules and engagement plus order. There are situations you don't make yourself too obvious as if you the only one at the receiving end.


What about Plateau, Benue, Taraba and the rest.

BRILLIANT!!!
This man took the words out of my mouth. A lot of the Amotekun daily cacophony players are not interested in the security of the SW one bit. Anyone with an ounce of brain can see that they are mostly interested in the political aspect of it.
If any police, Amotekun or any other security outfit should arrest 100 people on the streets of the SW on any given day, I can assure you that 95 percent will not even be Fulani. 95 percent or more will be Igbos, Yorubas and others. Yet you have some brainwashing thr people to believe that their security problems are mainly from some Fulanis.
Tinubu gave a brilliant answer to these political cacophony wailers.
I'm for Amotekun but you can't make sound and look like its purely against Fulanis.
The Fulanis also have a fault here, why cry more than the bereaved? If you don't plan on having some of your people invading people's farm land unnecessary then you should be less concerned about Amotekun. Their only complaint should have been that the governors should make sure that no particular tribe is targeted. As far as Afenifebi is concerned, Amotekun is to go against the Fulanis.
The Governors should have actually demanded for State police. This was part of the APC ideology and this would have been a good time to implement such idea.

A great man has spoken.

These are the type of men that should come out to support the realization of Amotekun.

Not some charlatans, troublemakers and fools who don't want to hear , read or see any positive news in any corner of Nigeria.

We stand with the JAGABAN.

Amotekians, be glad and wise.
Amotekalization is here.
Amotekites get ready for the job ahead and take every religion along.
No stigmatization of other tribes in the country.
With all these,
Amoteks is here to stay.
your ignorance is irredeemable. Your Jagaban has not taken any decisive stand on Amotekun. He doesnt want to displease his people and or the North whom he's heavily relying on to give him the presidential ticket. His Political interest comes first before anyother thing. But you ignorant followers will never see things differently because you eat from the crumbs that falls of his table.

“Question those in favour of Amotekun. Most have but the vaguest notion about it. They know few details yet vigorously attribute to its opponents the most negative intentions. Ask those who oppose Amotekun. They are equally ignorant of its provisions. They oppose the initiative not on its merits but merely because it was proposed by their political opponents or because they don’t see an avenue for personal gain from it.

N what did he say?

If u can’t digest much from what he said, u can read the question he ask over and over again or u ask someone with good brain to interpret just this statement for you.

I don’t blame u, I blame ur leader who don’t give adequate schooling.

To the gullible ones thinking Tinubu cares for them, do well to have it in mind that he'll choose the North over you lots just to get presidential ticket.

My submission is not against what Tinubu stands to gain or his stand on Amotekun but clearly a trajectory one.

In Nigeria context and In Nigeria agenda everybody needs to be cautious in dealing exclusively with one another and in dire cases the highest you can do is to support what is constitutionally right and that places you on neutral ground.

Very shameful Igbos has carried the pro-amotekun on head as if the issue will directly take off or even think of breeding off. In their zone which we all know is dead on arrival.


You keep telling anyone who cares to listen that fulani is the enemy and all sort of bla bla bla and that you are not the enemy and we must deal with the enemy and all sorts of gibberish even when the matter of discourse has nothing to do with you.


A right thinking human being will hold the rest of mankind same way he holds himself. Been selective on issues is clearly a bad idea, very myopic and only shows a bitter mind.


It either you remain neutral or you support what is right in the law as your constitution allows it so far you in such diversity of a country or you propose for the right law be made to accommodate all sectors.


But moving about cyberspace shouting fulani is the enemy, we must ally to deal with them. They are holding us down.


Then in one sentence who is then your friend?

This graduate of Toronto spoke so eloquently, however, the summary of his speech is an insult to all the Yoruba elders, leaders, governors and people of south west who have since spoken to support Amotekun. Its an insult to suggest that those who have taken a stand before now spoke out of ignorance and haste.

Furthermore, he still didn't address the issue at hand speaking with both sides of his mouth.

“Such people are possessed of a mercenary aspect that permits them to sacrifice almost anything, even jeopardize the very foundations of our political unity, if they might exact personal gain from the upheaval. In that they know no nobler purpose than their own appetites, we should feel sorry for them. However, we must not allow our sympathies for their barren condition to persuade us that there is worth in their destructive misconduct. They must be left to the consequences of their own devices.

We are talking about people with common sense and respected in society and you are talking about a crack head Fani fraudster.
May be he's the type that you listen to in your evil enclave but we do not listen not take people like Fani crazy serious for a sec.
Leaders just don't say what they think people want to hear, they think critically, logically and come a conclusion that will stand the test of time and truth.
Fani crack heads lacks all those qualities. He speaks to please his in laws not the YORUBAS.
