Nairaland is allowing unbalanced reportage to draw traffic mainly from a region without hope of survival except Yorubas go to war.

I know Akinyele very well. The Hausas dominate that environment up till Onidudu which is pronounced as Ondudu where you have International Cattle Market. Before the Cattle Market, you have Goats market (Elewure ) relocated from Sango now at Olorunkole area of Akinyele. Yorubas have been very dormant and at the receiving end for decades in these areas. The Hausa people in that area dominate the Yorubas.

For Yorubas to have reacted, there would have been so much casualties on our land. This is the major reason the governor was forced to meet the traditional ruler.

When you come to an area and behave as if you own Nigeria and dominate the hosts , the present youths with membership of different cults and societies and hoodlums and Area boys will resist that born to rule or born into power beliefs.

babaolofin, pls tell me more

You people should continue but remember that we Northerners never forgive or forget.

Lol. But you can forgive and forget bandits killing your people and Boko Haram raging your lands? Oga stop talking “soft targets” During the civil war we know how you people were attacking the vulnerables.

I’m not a bigot but you need this: your people are fond of being overly protective of one another in another person’s land. I remember around Cocoa House in 2018 an aboki rider hit a person while treading a wrong route. As he was rushed by people fellow Hausas trooped in and started to fight the victim and his friends.

I like Hausa people, but they have to be taking things easy. Ahmed Musa, Mohamed Gambo, Ice Prince and co are my favorites. Don’t get me wrong

The idiots who voted Buhari into power caused all these nonsense. Many are still joining their evil party despite the current situation.

These hoodlums should be guided.
Why will they raze the mosques too?

Have they forgotten that there are more Muslims than Christians in the SouthWest and majority of us who are Yoruba Muslims also pray in mosques.

This is starting to seem like a joke taken too far. This was how the Northern riots started in 1967.
Please
Please
Please
Enough of the mayhem.

If we could give up part of Kwara/Ilorin to the caliphate and turn it to an emirate; why can't we let them have some parts of Ondo and Oyo so that peace will reign?

So as a youruba man you want the northern to take over some part of ondo and oyo right, only God's knows how many of you thinks.

Fulani don overdue, Abeg leave their place if you are told to do so, Yoruba have been pushed to the wall, I support them fully..

Hausa's are always afraid of the Igbos and do not want to give them breathing space

“Always afraid” isn’t the right term...They might be paranoid or suspicious but I doubt the phrase you used there.

JosephXavier:

It is totally wrong, but the power brokers, are not willing to let go easily.

JosephXavier:
There was no meeting of the Yourubas but there was an Aburi accord that the three major ethnic groups participated fully where terms were agreed on and resolutions were made

The war was not an accident

Events lead to it and an agreement was reached with the Igbos that the Yourubas will start at Lagos will Igbos will fight from East to merge with the Yorubas and take the fight to the North

For the igbo troops to reach Benin to their utmost dismay found out that Yourubas have betrayed them by colluding with the Hausas to protect Lagos that was the Nigerian capital instead and brought down the fight to the East

That was how the Igbos were driven far down to Asaba and eventually lead to Asaba massacre because they thought Asaba indigenes supported Biafra soldiers

It got so intense that the Biafrans had to destroy the Niger bridge at Onitsha to deny Nigerian forces access to the other side of the river for them to at least buy time and regroup

Dessimated and lacking weapon and nutrition, fought 10 men to one weapon against a sophisticated military that had foreign aid

Had to locally manufacture bomb(Ojukwu bomb) and set them as trap that almost took down the Nigerian Army
When the Nigerian army later crossed the river, they massacred and massacred Biafrans

Another troop took the now Benue state axis lead by Obasanjo to completely clamp down and surround and totally finish the Igbos off before Otukwu knew that he was defeated and ran away to cotdevoire as fugitive

I only read the first paragraph and stopped because it will be a wastage of my valuable time. The IBOS are greatest propagandists in the world. You want to go into an area you don't know but based your submission on what your ancestors handed over to you. I read Prof Achebe's book - 'There was a country ' I saw the highest level of propaganda which created public reactions. I read books written by a Ghanaian General (General Joseph Ankrah ) and few other books in a regimental institution several years ago.

All those things you wrote are mostly propaganda. Also all these people that are writing in Hausa on this platform are not Hausas. They are lousy and cowards southerners. They just want to push Yorubas to war. They believe that is where their salvation lies.

You can go ahead and do your worse can you imagine what Hausas are doing in Yoruba land, we Yorubas can never try half of it in any northern state before they turn it to war

My message to the Nigerian media

From a Journalist

It is with a heavy heart, worry about Nigeria and a sense of impending doom that I am sending this message to my colleagues in the media .
Let me begin with a question, what exactly will we gain if Nigeria descends into war? How does it advance us, if our fellow citizens turn on each other and begin large scale ethnic killings, against each other? Let me even assume that a few of us don't believe in Nigeria anymore and want to see it broken into its constituent parts. How does enabling ethnic strife help achieve this objective in a way that guarantees the outcome you want?

For sometime now, many of us have thrown away the book on ethical reporting, propelled by emotion, we have betrayed every moral consideration that assigns our noble professsion a role so significant we are seen as the last hope of the common man, so much so our jobs are constitutionally protected.

Despite numerous examples that exist which have proved, including not too long ago in Rwanda, that the conduct of the media can help in, promoting, starting and perpetuating violence and ethnic strife, we have turned a deaf ear to pleas to not become a tool that enables hate.
But we have failed to heed these warnings.

We have given platforms to the worst among us, the extremists and the blood thirsty. We have turned militia leaders and criminals into champions. Instead of us to lead calm and rational discuss on the existential challenges we face with a view to promoting actionable solutions, we have succumbed to hysteria and the next exciting click bait headline.

And yet for many of us, especially media owners, this place called Nigeria has been relatively good .
This country has given many of us more opportunity than the majority of our fellow citizens. We have reaped a bountiful havest from this place. We have done so well that, if God forbid, this country is consumed, and chaos reigns, many of us will hop on a plane and bugger off to the many different countries abroad where our families live in peace, even though they are not native to those places.

We will run off and leave our foot soldiers, our reporters and headline writers, who we allowed maybe even ecouraged to go down this path to navigate a country at war, alone and perhaps without the ability to fully protect their families both immediate and extended from the horrors that will follow.

And there is no doubt it will be horrific. The play book is written and tested. We saw it in Sierra Leone, in Liberia, in Rwanda and more recently in South Sudan and the Central African Republic.
There will be killings in the thousands, limbs will be chopped off with machettes, women and girls will be raped, food will be scarce, fear will reign. The most brutal among us will take charge. And their word will be law. They will not tolerate journalists who try to hold them accountable.
And these horrors will not always come from the bogeyman we have been at great pains to create and project. It will come from the militia leaders fighting to take control of our neigbohoods and increasingly scarce resources. This is not a film script. This is the reality of war.
Our job is to hold power accountable and it is exactly what it should be.
The focus on those in charge, especially President Muhammadu Buhari, should be relentless and loud and insistent.

But when the killings happen and they seem to have already begun, it is not the President's family, nor that of his Ministers nor indeed anyone with any kind of serious influence that will mostly die.
It is regular folks, people already forced to travel and move in order to eke out a living , settlers, across all of Nigeria.
The ignoble role we are now playing in bringing this country to chaos is at odds with most of our history. We have always being the ones Nigerians could rely on to lift our voices, together for the betterment of this country.

Our proud history of fighting colonialist masters, carried on with the fight against military dictatorship, to standing up to civilian governments that tried to perpetuate themselves in office.
I don't know at which point we decided that a focus on ethnic profiling despite the repeated warnings about where this leads, would be a good idea.

So here we are today about to be consumed by the hate we have stoked.
They will write about us , just as they wrote about our colleagues in Rwanda. That we fanned the flames of ethnic hate, and enabled them consume our country.
They will write about us in the first person, because we live in a digital age and the internet never forgets and records last forever. They will identify us individually, and sooner or later a few of us will end up before an international court.

What we do today and what will count is whether we had the courage associated with our profession to buck the trend, jump off the bandwagon and do what is right instead of getting swept away by the moment, forgotting ourselves and the ethics that should guide us all .
In the end, we all die, but while we live, we write our legacy. It is not too late to make it one that saved our country from the brink.

This madness should stop just already...when would these yeroba cowards storm the bushes and go after their real enemies? why must innocent Hausas be caught in the web of these coward's madness??

I blame the GOC of ibadan barracks for allowing matters generate into this and if he's a Northerner he needs to resign immediately

You are a bastard!!!


He is the GOC of Nigeria Army not Hausa Army....dumb asshole!!!

Bola146:
GSM has totally failed! Oyo state is not safe anymore, unless God knows what is really going on. Destroying lives and properties

I am surprised with your comment. If GSM request for the assistant of the Nigeria Army to go and quell the crisis, you will come and condemn his actions. The fulani herdmen have been on rampage in the north central most especially Plateau and Benue for over 11 years non stop. Except the south go to the forest to chase them out, I can bet you the collateral damage would be worst on the indigenes.

Seun, lalasticlala

This is more credible than propaganda on front page coming from dailynigerian

Dailynigerian is just a propaganda blog step up to paint Southerners as evils

Daily Nigerian has the most useless reportage in the country. They're only calling for reprisal forgetting that more than a thousand Yoruba towns have sabo and shasha where hausas are still doing their businesses peacefully. In Ogerre alone you will find more than 3,000 hausa' trucks and trailers to be burned within minutes. The Yorubas are already very very angry with the statements of Macban, Garba Shehu, Bala mohammed and Fulani army of Nigeria escorting herdsman to commit vices.

Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into PLACE"
The Hausa/Fulani leadership in Nigeria should know that the struggle has started, no region is superior to the other.

And no region has the monopoly of violence. The North is just restraining itself. But for how long?

Yoruba attacking soft targets are you there? I don't know why u people love to talk and predict nonsense

JosephXavier:
Today is the second day of violent clash between the Yourubas and the Hausa/Fulani In Oyo State yet no security personnel has been sent to restore peace and orderliness.

No police, no Army, no Civil Defence and not even Man O' War

But once voice is raised in the South East, Battalions of Army, Navy, Air Force with all their war planes and ammunitions, operation crocodile dance, Operation Python Laugh, DSS, UN peace keeping, AU Army, Mobile Police, will be dispersed to douse the pressure

Please can someone tell me what's the difference here

Because no one fear you and you don't have what to use to hold Nigeria into ransom unlike SS or SW. What your people can do best is to start mocking others like they did NC and they're doing SW right now.

Stop spreading panic, normalcy has returned to the area.

Seun and his mods have thrown caution to the wind long ago. They are just concerned about pagewiews and money right now. I live in the community and everything has been settled...but Nairaland keeps peddling fake news misinformation for clicks sake.

Please let's peace reign

I don't trust this dailynigerian website, I suspect foul play

We do not need peace in this country. Anything that would quicken the disintegration of the zoo is highly welcome.
