Demmocrats: This is wickedness at the highest level.
Fulanis are th most unpatriotic, heartless and wicked human beings on earth. They are so myopic and cruel. They will rather run the country and economy aground just to promote their ethno/religious agenda. If anyone has been observant, he would know that throughout this Buhari administration, they have been busy dismantling everything progressing and progressive in the Southern region.
What has men not done to women in this world? So men can stay without raping poor helpless vulnerable women?
Here in nairaland, they brag about how sex is the cheapest thing to get , that Nigeria girls are so loose, yet with this they still gang up to rape innocent women.
This is a very serious offense punishable by death any other punish aside death will be a mockery of Nigeria law.
I beg, which constitution you de quote from? Just asking.

People often assume the Yoruba are so successful as an ethnic nationality due to their thirst for education, and how it has penetrated down even amongst their remotest rural communities. But study them. Their culture of respect opens doors for them that even education cannot open. Diplomacy gives them supremacy.
And their culture is often mistaken for what it is not by others who do not understand them as a people. What some people ignorantly call cowardice, or sycophancy, is stooping to conquer. It is both a military and diplomatic strategy.
This is what Scripture meant in 2 Corinthians 10:4 “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty”. Wisdom, courtesy, diplomacy, and praise are all weapons. A weapon is anything you can use to achieve your strategic objective. It does not always have to be a physically offensive weapon.
But are the Yorubas even cowards, as some people accuse them to be? Well, let us let the facts speak for themselves.
In the history of Nigeria, only two men have returned to Nigeria to face almost certain death even when they had the option of a very comfortable political asylum abroad. Both of them are Yoruba. In 1985, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida toppled the Buhari regime while Major General Tunde Idiagbon (mixed Yoruba/Fulani) was at Mecca yet Idiagbon returned.
In 1995, Olusegun Obasanjo (pure Owu Yoruba) was accused of planning a coup by the blood thirsty tyrant, Abacha (if you do not like that truthful description of Abacha or if you believe that 'Abacha did not loot', you can go and join him where he is) while he was away in Copenaghen. He was informed by the then US Ambassador, Walter Carrington, that Abacha meant to arrest, try and execute him, and was offered political asylum in the United States.
He returned to face almost certain death.
What more example of bravery can there be than these two shining ones.
Furthermore, there is the apocryphal example of Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi who chose to die with the then Head of State, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, rather than abandon his guest, which he was at liberty to do.
In addition to the above, in my opinion, they are the least likely to maintain and retain their cultural values, when it clashes with other cultures.
I love how they retain their full culture when they travel abroad. It is a rarity amongst Africans. When you visit London, you may be confused if you think Yoruba is the only African language in existence.
A Yoruba man can enter a quiet bus and receive a phone call and speak in Yoruba, and won’t feel embarrassed. And I am not referring to a Johnny Just Come. I am referring to second generation Yorubas who were born and brought up in England,
I have been traveling the world from childhood, yet I have not encountered people doing that with much wider [/b]spoken African languages, such as Swahili and Hausa.
They may speak it privately in their homes abroad. but not publicly, and even if they do, it is not to the extent of the Yoruba.
It has gotten to the extent that the Metropolitan Police now recruit Yoruba speaking Constables, and Harrods now employ Yoruba speaking cashiers. Oh please do not just take my words at face value. Fact check me.
Go to Houston on a Sunday, you will see Yoruba people everywhere in their native wears, adire, plus abeti aja and eleti aja.
[b]Here in California, other Africans now draw crowd to their parties by saying ‘the Nigerians will be there.’
This will annoy other tribes, including mine, however, when foreigners talk about how cool Nigerians are, they are usually referring to Yorubas.
Take it or leave it, but the Yoruba are the most progressive Black people on the face of planet Earth.
They produced the first Black African Nobel laureate for an academic category (Wole Soyinka), and the first Black African military ruler to have voluntarily handed over to a civilian President (Olusegun Obasanjo), and the first Nigerian to win a Grammy Award (Sade Adu) as well as the first person born and bred in Africa to have won a Pulitzer Prize (Dele Olojede).
The reason why Yorubas are the biggest music stars of Nigerian origin is because they are unabashedly Yoruba. They do not try to sing or act like Westerners. They are very in-your-face with their Yoruba-ness. And when people like themselves to such a high degree, others tend to join them in liking them.
There are an estimated 15 Black billionaires on Planet Earth. Three of them are Yoruba. More than any ethnic nationality in Africa.
US President, Joe Biden, named a Yoruba man, Adewale Adeyemo, as deputy Treasury Secretary. This is the highest position to which a Black African has been appointed (not elected) in US history. Another Yoruba man, Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, became the first person on Earth to successfully perform a surgery by taking out an unborn fetus from its mother’s womb and putting it back after the surgery.
77% of all Black doctors in America, and a very large percentage of these are Yoruba.
I commend the Edekiri people (the real name of the Yoruba). You guys are oni te si iwaju.

The only thing I see this woman doing, if Nigerians get hypnotized enmass to install her as president, is to graduate the "Diezani" syndrome to higher scales while making Nigeria a kunnu producing and exporting country.
azpekuliar: The question of Nationhood has to be answered first before expecting Patriotism. In Nigeria's case it has never answered that question but rather continues to dance around it and you expect it's citizens to be patriotic.
You said citizens, didn't you? The very notion of citizenship presupposes the existence of a nation or a similitude. So, if Nigeria has citizens, then your argument is faulted.
Techsupport: shooting himself with AK47? dude that is what side arm is for. I wonder how true this your story is
Haha! Na wa o. What will nairalanders not argue over? Whether he used a sidearm or an assault rifle, he killed himself to evade capture and interrogation. Perhaps torture too. Abi which kind wahala be dis?
kingthreat: For you to use the analogy of Benin Republic invading Nigeria shows how disillusioned you are.
I am not disillusioned. I am stating the obvious. If a small lesser country invades Nigeria, people like you and many others on this forum will start shouting that they don't want war. The concept of patriotism is foreign to many of you.
kingthreat: Please CNN should show us the pictures of Ukrainian soldiers piling up too. On this forum there was a video of an Ukrainian soldier shooting himself dead with an AK47 to prevent capture from the Russian army If you think Ukraine is winning the war, you are being brainwashed as usual. Zelensky should let Ukraine be a demilitarized neutral nation else more destruction from Ukraine even if the Russians don't win the war. .
The act of that soldier you just mentioned shows the mindset of the average Ukrainian soldier on the battle field. They are ready to die. That was an act of military valor. Imagine what a man with that mindset will do to Russian soldiers when in a vantage position in the battlefields.
If ordinary Benin Republic decides to invade Nigeria, it is people like you that will start screaming that we should let them take Nigeria because people are dying. Nonsense!
SIRTee15: U are actually the senseless one. Possession of weed and harbouring criminals is a crime. Your neighbour has every right to invite police to flush you out. Ukraine didn't engage in any criminal activity. They simply exercise their lawful right of association.
Ukrainians want to join EU so that their economy can prosper. The people want to travel to Germany and Scandinavian countries, work and earn good money. That is not a crime except in the head of putin and his senseless social media supporters.
U people were the ones shouting and groaning when Trump threatened to ban immigrants from 3rd world countries, as if its your God given right to enter and live in America. But now it's a crime for Ukraine to join EU. Putin has his supporters are mad.
What has Russia got for them, nothing except threats and threats of invasion? Putin should offer a better deal if he wants Ukraine to stay with Russia.
Ukrainians see this war as a battle of political survival and economic freedom. They will never give up. If u think it's about zelenzky, u must be joking.
Please educate these Putin worshipping dingbats o.
baby124: Many women are fighting in the Ukrainian army. Many stayed behind to defend their country. Many older women refused to leave and will rather die than become a refugee.
The reason they tell women and children to go, is because if all women are involved in a war, the whole Ukrainian culture and people can die off if there is a wipe out. Real women, not men pretending to be women give birth and raise the next generation. When you are faced with real life, the survival of your people will be paramount. Men are also more than women population wise all over the world.
If women die out, the world will end o.
Oga, that your statistics get k-leg. Women are more than men worldwide.
Reflect7: This whole practice of the Ukrainian govt forcing all men aged 18 to 60 to remain in the country and 'fight' is fascist, authoritarian, and a clear human rights violation. That the UN and other rights organisations have been silent on this is scandalous, appalling and disgusting.
Have you heard of the term "patriotism"? I am sure it's never in your dictionary. That is why your country is gradually being taken by Fulanis from all over Africa.
