Indeed. The guys is just repellent. Imagine trying to say a guy who does not beat or force himself on women is not a "pure man"?

What could be more dark and malevolently evil than claiming Yoruba Muslims are not "pure Muslims" because they are not murderously extremist like Boko Haram, ISWAP etal?

Some of the people we discuss with here are very troubled mentally. It is something Nigerians should worry about because such is the reason we have so much going against our nation today.

Honestly, I strongly agree with this your opinion that I highlighted.

"Some of the people we discuss with here are very troubled mentally."

Yes, we see you for who you are - Chest beaters with superiority complex.

Empty barrels make the loudest noises.

We are already used to your activities, behavior and attitude.

Blablabla.

It doesn't stop the reality

You are just a "Pot calling Kettle black"?

Look at yourself in the mirror and see deception, hatred and tribalism in-personified

Armaggedon:
unfounded assertions. You're at best consoling yourself. I get the op's point. Igbos can simply be described as Judeo-Christian and Hausa Fulani can be described as Islamic-sahelian. What can Yorubas be described as?

It simply means that Yorubas have no dominant value system. They have major competing value systems which is a time bomb. Value system is like a compass to every civilization and also provide social stability. If you don't have a dominant one, it means the society lack ideology and it'll be difficult for the society to reach a consensus and take decisions on crucial issues. This is why the Yoruba as a collective have no known aspirations unlike the Igbos and Hausa Fulani.Hence, their survival depends on the continued unity of Nigeria because Nigeria act as a stabilizing force for them. This is why they act as spoiler to other people's aspirations that threaten their survival. This was why western Nigeria had heavy precolonial social tension and it's also why they didn't resist colonialism unlike Igbos and Hausa Fulani. They needed a stabilizing force to fill the void that a lack of value system created.

You can't force the Yorubas to think, behave and operate the way you Igbos do.

We have different cultures, backgrounds and orientation.

You don't have to love, appreciate or fancy the Yorubas but mind your life, tribe and culture while you leave Yorubas to live their lives too.

Everyone can exists without disturbing or hating or compelling the other to imbibe your ways.

Yorubas and Igbos are very different culturally and in orientation. You can't change that.

Yorubas don't see you and your aspirations. We have no time or concern for you Igbos. Your life doesn't bother us or affect us negatively. Just be civil in the society, if you want to be on your own, please be on your own and stop disturbing everyone or dragging Yorubas into your aspirations and hateful motives.

Armaggedon:
having multiplicity of religions is not liberalism but tolerating other people with different religious, cultural and economic beliefs. Western civilization invented the word liberalism but their value system is based on Christianity. In fact, you must assimilate "western values" to be accepted.

Yorubas being tolerant is what we often hear but all available data say otherwise. For instance an Igbo gathering will switch to English language just to accommodate few non Igbo speakers but Yorubas will speak their language to the confusion of a considerable number of non Yoruba speakers present. Yet they are the first to feel offended on hearing your own language. This fact is well known and it's the simplest example of intolerance.

You started with objectivity but then dived into the usual sentimental and ridiculous orientation of tribalists.

In several gatherings, especially in environments where you have a lot of igbo people. Your people speak igbo and other tribes don't get worried and don't bother you understand what you are speaking in your dialects.

Why are you so concerned when you encounter Yorubas communicating in the Yoruba language? Do you think they are conspiring against you; if so, why?

This shows how dirty and perverted your mind can be?

Must you understand what they are saying? If you must, please learn Yoruba language - simple.

Stop lying about the Bible; bible doesn't forbid a Christian from marrying a Muslim, pegan, traditionalist or anyone. The bible only requires that you try to lead them to Christ.

Who are you to judge whether anyone is pure Muslims or Christian? Are you pure yourself? It is the perverted ones like you that see themselves as superior to others.

Don't Igbo Christians go to traditionalists? Don't you igbos do juju as well, don't igbos see Idemmili, amadioha, Anyanwu, Ala and other deities? Everytribe, be you Muslim or Christian, still engage traditionalists.

Don't igbos Christians consult Alfas? If you have not seen it, then keep quiet and stop spewing what you know little about?

The Hausa Muslims who claim to be better practitioners than Yoruba Muslim are confused because it is only God that can judge who is truly following and worshipping him.

Even you that you are talking, you visit traditionalists along with your family and ancestors so what are you saying? Is there no shrine in your ancestral land; your village?

You are trying to deceive us here!

ariesbull:
Who is assuming? Where did I tell you that North are extreme Muslim

What I said that Yoruba are hybrid and they are not pure Muslims that's why you can't see Yoruba and Hausa pray together in a mosque here in Lagos or Yoruba lead Hausa in prayers ...they see them as not pure Muslims and I have seen it well

Even their Christian..visit babalawo and fetish ...things


That's the fact

I know many of their pastors that do juju ! It's only in yoruba land that a Muslim will marry a Christian .
Which is travesty and madness

Even in Bible it is a sin...Bible said don't be unequally yoked with non believers

AAEEI:
The Yorubas pride themselves as a people who accommodate both Muslims and Christians in one unit, making them religious hybrids, arguably, the only ones on good old planet earth. But they ignore one salient point that when you are a hybrid, you lose certain original qualities from both parents. You can ask the breeders and geneticists in your realm to explain that to you. The hybrid nature of Yoruba religious inclination is why Tinubu is helpless today in tackling religion-motivated killings in Nigeria. It is also why 99% of the Christian pastors and adherents who deny or downplay Christian genocide by Muslims are Yorubas. You see, the North has taken a stand. The East and South South have taken a stand. It's easy for them because they are either "this" or "that", and not "this-that". The Yoruba are having a hard time taking a stand because they are "this-that" (hybrids).

Again, hear ye me, hybrids come with certain new qualities but they forgo certain original, sometimes important, qualities.
Hopeyougeritbutifyoudontgeritthenfogetaboutit.

What is the stand taken by your South East and South Christian religious leaders? Mention and reference the South East and South Christian leaders that have indicated that Nigeria is experiencing Christian genocide.

President Tinubu's challenge is majorly political not religion induced.

The Yoruba people have always been diverse and accommodating to all religion and tribe. The Yoruba people have embraced the advantages and also manage the disadvantages of such diversity and that is the reason for the development in Lagos and Ogun.

ariesbull:
My neighbour is a serious Yoruba Muslim, she fasts and wears hijab...but just last week I saw her going to see a pastor for prayers

Personally...I don't them serious ! They are neither here nor there

That's why Hausa folks don't take their Muslims serious also the same way SE don't take their Christians serious ....

Let me ask:

Since you assume North West and North East are predominantly extreme Moslems while South East and South South are predominantly and extremely Christians.

Don't we have northern Moslems, South South and South East Christian people patronising and seeing traditionalists clerics and deities for consultation, fortification and guidance?

If you wouldn't deny these allegations in my question then you would realize that you are just being an extremist, hateful, tribalistic and racist by singling out the Yoruba people and describing them as hybrids or "neither here not there"

You are all hybrids masquerading as religious fanatics and extremists.

how many big business man of god do we have in south east to the ones in south west and north central?

Even if you have only one "business man of God" in South East of Nigeria, has he said anything about the purported "genocide against Christians"?

But to mention a few:

Bishop Mike Okonkwo: He is the founder and Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), a ministry with over 180 branches. He was born in Enugu and is a native of Ogbunike in Anambra State.

Pastor Lazarus Muoka: He is the founder and General Overseer of The Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement. He was born into a Catholic family in Umuhu-Okabia, Imo State, where he completed his early education before moving to Lagos.

Rev. Dr. David Ogbueli: He is the Senior Pastor of Dominion City Churches Worldwide and the founder of the New Covenant Family Ministries (NCF). He is a native of Alor, Idemili South in Anambra State, and the ministry's success grew from its initial base in Enugu.

Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere: He is the founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), known for its extensive philanthropic activities. He is from the South East region.

Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere (Odumeje): Also known as Odumeje, he is the general overseer of The Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry. He is from the South East.

orikoku:
he should talk about the genocide, they should call a spade a spade but no because the president is their Kingsman. Hypocrites.

You want him to be lousy and careless talker like you - he should talk without deep reasoning and less information to establish a case of genocide.

Breaking News: Nigeria to Deploy 400 Soldiers to Gambia for Peacekeeping

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to deploy 400 elite soldiers to Gambia to support peace and security operations in the conflict-affected country.

Since gaining independence, Nigeria has contributed significantly to global peacekeeping, sending over 100,000 troops to more than 40 countries worldwide. Reports highlight that Nigerian commanders have played a key role in maintaining peace both within and outside Africa, earning international recognition and honors.

The government has also advised troops to uphold discipline and protect Nigeria’s reputation while serving abroad.

We have enough security challenges back in Nigeria and some unscrupulous and ridiculous entities in the military, executive government and diplomatic missions of Nigeria 🇳🇬 want to send some Military to Gabon.

We are in a security emergency situation already in Nigeria.

I don't understand. Is this meant to annoy us.

The delegates have spoken strongly with a message that is clear and unambiguous.

There is a conspiracy against Nigeria in the international community and I will not stand got that.

If the world powers want to assist Nigeria in the fight against the terrorists, they are welcome and we will cooperate with them but if they keep pushing an insubstantial, perverted and mischievous narrative and propaganda that there is a Christian genocide ongoing in Nigeria, then I stand with Nigeria against such interests and deception.

Rift in Nigerian police as AIG petitions IGP Egbetokun to US Embassy for withdrawing case against Indian who raped American citizen


An Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG Abduyari Lafia, has petitioned the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, accusing the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, of shielding an Indian national, Kumar Gurav, alleged to have raped an American citizen in Benue State.

In the petition dated August 1 and titled “How IGP Kayode Egbetokun shielded a suspect in a case of rape against American citizen,” Mr Lafia alleged that the case, which was earlier established against Mr Gurav, was abruptly withdrawn from court on the orders of the IGP.

According to him, the matter was first reported in April 2023 to the then IGP, Usman Baba Alkali, after Ms Malory Henry, a U.S. citizen on assignment in Makurdi, accused her colleague, Mr Gurav—an Assistant Manager with Olam Rice Nigeria—of drugging and raping her at his residence on March 30, 2023.

Mr Lafia said medical examination confirmed the assault, leading to the suspect’s arrest and arraignment on May 12, 2023, at the Benue High Court (Suit No: MHC/42C/2023).

He added that the suspect, confronted with overwhelming evidence, attempted to bribe investigators with N100 million, an offer he rejected outright.

However, upon assuming office, Mr Egbetokun allegedly directed that the case be withdrawn, “for further investigation.”

On July 26, 2024, prosecutors informed the court of the IGP’s directive, leading to the eventual discharge and acquittal of the defendant without entering a defence.

“The prosecutor, ASP Edwin Ochayi, who diligently handled the case, was transferred to Niger State as punishment, while my promotion was blocked to silence me,” Mr Lafia stated in the petition.

He alleged that instead of being commended for rejecting the bribe and pursuing justice, he and the prosecutor were victimised.

Mr Lafia further questioned what might have transpired between the IGP and the suspect after the bribe offer, insisting the decision had left the victim disillusioned and forced her to petition the Benue State Attorney-General for the case to be reopened.

“I am constrained to write this petition and draw your attention to this ignoble injustice meted out to your citizen [Miss Malory Henry] and the impunity with which it was carried out by IGP Kayode Egbetokun, who operates above the law,” Mr Lafia wrote.

He added that his conscience and oath of office compelled him to act in defence of the law and the victim, saying, “I promised Miss Malory Henry that she would get justice, and I will do everything humanly possible within the law to expose this abuse.”

When contacted, Mr Lafia confirmed he signed and submitted the petition to the U.S. Embassy. “Yes, I signed the petition,” he told DAILY NIGERIAN.

Efforts to get the response of the force headquarters were unsuccessful as the force spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, did not respond to our reporter’s inquiries.

https://dailynigerian.com/rift-in-nigerian-police-as-aig-petitions-igp-egbetokun-to-us-embassy-for-withdrawing-case-against-indian-who-raped-american-citizen/

The IGP needs to be removed from office if this allegation is true.

In fact, the IGP needs to proceed on leave while the investigation is done.

This is a terrible development that indictes the IGP. I am suspecting that he has been compromised with bribe.

The petition should also be copied to the Police Servi e Commission and Office of the Presidency.

The IGP is controversial - his appointment, extension of appointment and activities in office.

Justice at last for the beautiful people killed by Kanus actions

Dr Chike Akunyili, The army lady who was raped and beheaded when going to visit her parents among many

I was always crying everytime I watched the video of the barbaric killing of this woman and her husband.

I had to delete it from my phone because I could not stand the horror show.

How can fellow igbos do that to fellow igbos simply because they are in the Nigerian army. You humiliated, debased and gruesomely killed them on camera and released it to the public.

Those IPOB/ESN were barbaric, cruel and murderers. Nnamdi Kanu was Radicalizing and inciting them against Nigeria, every other Nigerians and even fellow igbo people.

Adeh2009:
I pity you seriously!!! Keep defending your oppressors! the Fulani terrorists have not started dealing with you guys yet. we are still at the start up phase. everything Nnamdi Kanu has been saying has all come to pass. where is the lie? Keep on cheering your paid masters up, you will surely receive your reward very soon

Don't pity me, I don't need your pity. If you must pity anyone, please pity yourself.

You asked me questions:

"whats your definition of a terrorist and can you define in a single sentence what made Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist ?"

I responded to the questions and then you started deflecting from the answers that I gave.

As God helped us to achieve justice on Nnamdi Kanu through the courts, so shall God assist us to arrest and deliver justice on Fulani terrorists, kidnappers, bandicts, Boko Haram, ISWAP, Lakurawaba,and other terror groups in Nigeria.

I don't care if some of the things Nnamdi Kanu said are true or otherwise. I care to see Nnamdi Kanu account for his terrorist actions in and towards Nigeria, take responsibility for his actions and get the consequences of his actions.

Nnamdi Kanu may be your Messiah, I don't care. I honestly don't care if you are pained about the reasonable justice. It is well deserved by Nnamdi Kanu.

Adeh2009:
You sound so stark!!! the whole country is in chaos and full of bloodshed and you call an innocent man a terrorist....let me ask you one question, whats your definition of a terrorist and can you define in a single sentence what made Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist ?

Nnamdi Kanu only crime is because is an Igbo man from the east. the marginalization against the igbo people is so so much But i can assure you that the Judgement of God will surely visit you and your paid masters very soon

If you are not convinced that Nnamdi Kanu is a terrorist, please assist him to put up a team of lawyers and appeal his judgement in the Federal Court of Appeal.

As per the judgement of the Federal High Court, Nnamdi Kanu is a terrorist, he has just just been convicted.

1. He set up IPOB which is a terrorist organization.
2. He set up and armed ESN illegally and ordered them to attack Nigerian armed forces, including police.
3. He was broadcasting divisive, inciting and radical messages that encourages people of the South East to harm and attack Nigerian armed forces and fellow igbos who align with Nigeria.

The more you igbos see yourself as marginalized and hated by other tribes, the more you igbos will isolate yourselves from others.

The judgement of God will also be on you and all enemies of Nigeria.

I don't care what you say or think about me but I insist that Nnamdi Kanu must be accountable and take responsibility for his actions.

chiagozien:
Do you have evidence of ipob doing those he said?

The evidences have been presented in court. Why didn't you join Nnamdi Kanu in court to open his case and counter the evidences?

Instead, you want to stay on faceless nairaland and question the evidences.

Kinoike:
God punish the Judge! Why is he so bias in handling kanu's case. They are integrating boko Haram into the society but busy doing nonsense with kanu's case. ISWap killed General in the bush but they are calling kanu terrorist. God is God of Vengers.

Same to you too.

Adeh2009:
You sound so deluded!! terrorists are busy having a filled day...una problem nah Nnamdi kanu

We are going to deal with terrorists as we capture them and put them to justice in court.

Nnamdi KANU is also a terrorist. We have been on his case and we are going to conclude his case.

He must be accountable and take responsibility for his actions. This is the day of reckoning.

But if Tinubu decides to sack him,there are so many responsible southerners out there.
Dont forget that he Wike has continuously stepped on toes and has always acted against the wishes of the masses.
The list is endless,the blatant rigging of the presidential elections in Rivers,the obnoxious state of emergency in Rivers state,the indiscriminate demolishing of houses and reacquisition of such properties by FCDA as directed by the emperor,the mercenary contract of killing PDP and making sure that we dont have viable opposition(thankGod for the obidient movement),the list goes on and on.

That is the reason you see an ordinary military officers as superior to the FCT Minister or any civilian at that.

I can imagine the stupidity in posting a bucket and asking any random person online to fill it up.

Isn't that da.ft

AMINDA:
Yes. He's the security officer to Vice Admiral Gambo and a Commissioned Lieutenant of the Nigerian Navy. Nigeria is not a sane clime, it is a country technically at war and Yerima is a person of interest who was practically trailed yesterday by God-knows-who. There is no police checkpoint on the entire stretch of Kubwa Expressway. How did one suddenly appear and conspicuously selected Yerima's vehicle for a stop and search. For the umpteenth time, let the boy be! It's not an advise.

The boy Yerima must learn to be orderly and law abiding.

Driving a vehicle with no plate number is illegal in Nigeria irrespective of who you are.

AMINDA:
You're funny. He's not a civilian and he's likely driving an official car plus he's currently a person of interest with target on his back. The number plates of vehicles in the convoy of 3 star generals are concealed unless the general is inside, wherein you will see the 3 stars engraved on the plates. You all are not informed on these things. Let the boy be. Whoever has an axe to grind should do so with Vice Admiral Gambo.

It is not an official vehicle. For anyone to drive any vehicle, official or private, without plate number, you must have a permit from the police to do that.

ShoeMarket:
There is nothing showing that that is Yerima also.

Secondly, it is also possible that the guy intentionally removed the plate number to avoid easy identification since they have resorted to assassinating him.

We don't care what his excuses are? He has no permit to drive private vehicle without plate number.

That is against the law and he must be dealt with on that.
