I created a thread where I asked if kwara state is Yoruba the mode DELETED IT

WHY?

Lol. It's simply because the forum belongs to a Yoruba man and he reserves the right to do whatsoever he wants therein. It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. So, take it like that and remember to do the same thing when a Yoruba does something you don't like within your space. This is Nigeria for you.
Ndo nwanna.

FrLukas:
The struggle for access to the sea and crude oil is real.

Is that all you can see? Don't worry as pressure mounts, exactly what you wish others you'll suffer. It's the time for Igbo renaissance. If you're so pained, ropes and portions are readily available.

Zamrito:
This has got me thinking,why not the people unite against this corrupt leaders?
i mean i know we dont like each other but why not put our differences(ethnicity) aside and unite as one front against them.
we can do this by establishing a group made up of all tribes in nigeria.it would be online group initialy,but we ill gradually establish contacts..
and after then what do you think would happen? 'REVOLUTION'.

Remember the actual power of a state lies with the people and not with the government..
fighting and bashing ourselves wont solve anything,rather it would be convinient for them. as this is called 'divide and rule'. it was used by the british against our pre-independence leaders,now its beign used by our selfish and corrupt leaders against us.

Finally,it is said wealth is consequence of all affairs.and the exact is the case with these leaders,immediately they come into power they dont care a shit abouth their tribe,to them is all about looting,safeguarding their political career and more looting.

OP, if you're thinking of a wholistic revolution, forget about it. A revolution/revolt with religious colouration is the only feasible solution I see because it is easier to achieve. Unless Christians stamp their capability in Nigeria and a time tested achieved is made president, forget it. Late Gideon Orkar already gave the blueprint; all that remains is for us to assemble and build on it.
You'll notice how the vampires holding unto power will kick against what I wrote here. They don't have the capacity to develop the contraption and won't let those with the capacity to handle the saddle.

By Ayokunle Adeniji

A couple of things must be involved when an individual with Omoyele Sowore’s assumed standing decides to downgrade his #RevolutionNow protest into #PotPanProtest. He might have finally seen #RevolutionNow for the aberration that it was, the very thing that made the movement collapsed even before it properly took off in spite of the fact that it was touted as the mother of all protests, Nigeria’s version of Arab Spring that will finally overthrow a democratically elected government and hand over the reins of power to the opposition the one led by a Sowore, who only garnered some 38,000 votes in the 2019 election.

It could be that introspection finally forced Sowore to re-assess his situation. Revolution is idealistic. Hunger is real. What better way to tell people that he is more about the culinary gains and not the improvement of the lots of Nigerians as he likes to pretend. He struck on a symbolic note with the genius result that pots and pans became the symbols of his supposed protest against the government of President Muhammadu Buhari. Afterall, the pots and pans have to be empty to be beaten upon and create the din that is sending Sowore into ecstatic mind trips.

A third possibility is even less palatable. Sowore is no stranger to megalomania, a twisted strain of god syndrome – a perverted assumption that he alone holds the answers to Nigeria’s problems. Could he have become bipolar in the period he was in custody while standing trial for treason, a sojourn that derived from his call for nationwide mayhem with the #RevolutionNow excuse. The choice of pots and pans, while on the surface may be symbolic of hunger, holds a deeper meaning for Sowore because the raucous noise from the affairs seems to be feeding the cravings of a manic-depressive.

Videos of participants in the distasteful protest, shared to Sowore’s Facebook wall, depict what is to be expected. An assortment of people with anger issues arising mostly from their perceived failure in life or in what they should have done better. Let’s ignore Senator Shehu Sani, who rolled out an expensive non-stick pan that gave away the game that this protest is more about political bitterness than it is about the suffering poor, who have been hit hardest by the lockdown imposed in scores of countries of the world to curtail COVID-19 from exterminating humanity.

Whatever Sowore’s mental status is, he has no justification for reducing a matter of human misery into comic relief for the twisted pleasure of his social media followers. It is like kicking those affected by the virus in the teeth and rubbing their faces in the mud. Such insensitivity from someone who boasts about fighting for human rights is irresponsible and condemnable irrespective of whatever justification is made for it. Reducing hunger into a joke creates the risk for those who should intervene becoming de-sensitized to the realities of families suffering deprivation.

The travesty is that Sowore works with international partners, who are given to political correctness, people that abhor referencing situations or persons in a way that disparages or attracts negativity. All he needed to have done was to run his #PotPanProtest through the matrix applied to international engagements and he would have possibly come up with an acceptable execution plan for his desired attack on the government. That way he will have a politically correct approach and terminologies that do not criminalize hunger or glamourized those that are well fed to the point of making mockery of the have-nots.

The ravages of COVID-19 are real and serious. The over 182,000 deaths recorded as at the time of writing pale into insignificance compared with what is to come for the living. The global economy has taken a hit. The International Labour Organization (ILO) is concerned that 195 million jobs can be lost to the impact of the virus. The United Nations has warned of biblical famine due to the virus, which must be noted is not peculiar to Nigeria.

Yet all Sowore can think of is to localize a global crisis as a result of the pandemic in a manner that suggests that only Nigeria is afflicted or that the blame lies on one political party or the president. This kind of slant should have anyone that has ever relied on Sahara Reporters, published by Sowore, to have a rethink about what mental, psychological and emotional poison they have been fed. They should be alarmed that this slanting of the situation was not a product of error, but a well-orchestrated plan that have other aspects being executed by people in the same circuit as the Sahara Reporters publisher.

Yes. The government response could have been better and that is the feedback from citizens to their governments the world over, even in the countries that were labelled as “advanced economies” before COVID-19 struck. But Sowore’s #PotPanProtest must be one of the few instances were recalcitrant elements are attempting to hijack the people’s pain to revive a failed revolution, which was misguided in the first place. This is cowardice. Bravery would have seen him retain his #RevolutionNow war chant and see how quickly he ends up in jail.

The reality is that the government is giving palliatives and food assistance, but we all know that this cannot go around. Mosques, churches and other religious groups are giving relief packages in addition to organizations and philanthropists that are throwing in their support. Even at personal level, individuals are being their brothers’ keepers and keeping families out of the grip of hunger. This is the story in several countries of the world as the virus brought out in most people the humanity that was once thought lost even though it also unmasked the monster in someone like Sowore.

If Sowore is truly interested in the starving masses as he put it, there are several channels available to render assitance without making mockery of those that will go to bed without dinner tonight and without hope of waking up to a breakfast. He can for instance distribute palliatives to the poorest and most vulnerable that have not been reached by government using the huge funds that he leveraged from people using Sahara Reporters as a battering ram. He could also go to his client and play his charm on them to take responsibility for feeding specific vulnerable communities while he can also convince the mega-Bishops in the land to consider increasing whatever charities they are already involved in.

It is painful that as lofty as these ideas are, they are beyond Sowore, who is too far consumed by the hatred he harbours for President Buhari, and whoever will occupy the office after him (he has a penchant for hating whoever occupies the office of the President). His manic episodes, as confirmed by the beating of pots and pans, and the resulting depressive aftermaths have taken such strong hold of him that he will most likely degenerate into being suicidal. Things must not be allowed to get to this stage since he would still be rushed to a hospital should he make any attempt on his own life, which would only drain the available medical resources at a time when slowing down COVID-19 is the priority. Sowore should be placed on suicide watch because #PotPanProtest has clearly confirmed he is losing it.


Adeniji wrote from Lagos.

This is quite a lengthy read and can be summarized into few sentences viz:
I. Sowore has lost his courage by resorting to kitchen utensils of hunger-troubled homes as the weapon for protest.
2. Mr. Omoyele is narcissistic as he seems to have disdain for another person occupying the position of the President.
3. The combination of the above listed points are likely to trigger suicidal moves hence he should be placed on a constant watch.
For me, I only agree with the first point and will say that Sowore must not lose his courage by descending so low as to resort to cooking utensils behind the kitchen walls for protest. I admire his erstwhile courage and wish that he sticks to it. The night is quite long and the darkness has refused to give way but certainly day must take its place according to the cycle of life. Let him remain strong.

LarryBee1k:
It's Corchorus/jute leaf not slime

If you will make jest. Atleast do research.

Any pix of the said soup?

Rgade:
Sharrap


Anyway it's wierd, the SA lady seems to hate Nigeria so much but was prepared to come? Asking for flight expenses.
She seems to even have her lines down somewhere, waiting for the next altercation to beef Nigeria.
I can't imagine going to a country I hate for any reason

Actually, she wanted to scam him.

XhosaNostra:
I see Nigerians all the time, why would I crave something that's in abundance?

Lol. No true... The craving may be there but obstinacy is the problem.

Osagyefo98:
Fullstop.

Are you done?

Always in wait to expose you and keep our focus on the main problem. Do whatever you can.

Osagyefo98:
So no need reply you at all. It is utterly and totally useless.


I don't care if you point to the moon. That's non of my business...others are doing so but that doesn't make them more Igbo than me and the perfect way is to reply them if I wish or ignore them outrightly.


Same way I have been ignoring you for a long time because it is a waste of space and time arguing nonsense with you.

So enjoy the benefit of reply today... That's all.


I am not in that school of Herdsmen herdsmen Herdsmen...Mbanu...Don't be silly is a word but with deep meaning.

Lol. Another of his moniker. The question is what does an Igbo man gain fighting an Ijawman? Nothing! Ijaws are suffering more than us. This is how you know that lots of impostors are here with the mission of keeping us in perpetual infighting. We must smell them out.

Osagyefo98:
That's why I said you don't really know who you are arguing with Become nobody even attacks kanu and Ipob more than me here...So I always Ignore any statement or name calling of Ipob.


My message remains clear, stay your lane and let Igbos stay their lane. Kanu was talking to Igbos and nobody said he was talking to Ijaw, Urhobo or Efik....So let Igbos worry about his outburst not you guys.


I wonder why other ethnicities will be losing sleep on what just Igbos are doing....He was talking to Igbos as Christians. He was talking to kanuri, Yorubas or fulanis.

Igbos doesn't need your support as Christian because it is highly useless and not needed....Get the message.

No single alignment will benefit Igbo nation of anything today so start moving towards ondo, Ogun or Kano for your alignment because it won't add or remove anything..


Your support is not needed and outrightly useless uchu....Face your lane.....After all warri is more of Yorubaland and OPC is even operating there. So I don't understand the opata you get yarn before as if kanu kanu or said that warri is biafra..

When has Igbo started dragging oduduwa lands again..



Mind your business.

You terrorist fulani have failed. All Christians have much to gain banding together. The day Christians band together, the age long lies where Nigeria is seen as a muslim dominated country will be corrected forever. This is the nightmare of you sahelian vampires. What have the various Christian groups gained isolating themselves? Only death, loss of lands, stealing of their resources and denying them of opportunities. It is glaring to all. Your days of deceit are over. Go and tell those who sent you.

Psalmy2cute:
abeg tell me where opc dey operate for warri??,.. and which land yoruba have in warri??..
who knows?? I may just be chatting with someone more ignorant than kanu himself

Don't mind him. Read between the lines. Anything to scuttle Christian unity is his forte. That's the easiest way to identify fulani terrorists.

Osagyefo98:
Not only invasion but inversion. I have always ignored you because it will only look like I am arguing with a child so it always good to do so but let me give you one benefit today.

You are only living a life of fiction, illusion and dream same way the likes of Pazienza was doing before he decided to wake up to reality.

Your supreme leader or should I say your nature tells you to always hate or attack fulanis because in your little history book, they are you guys collective enemy not mine. So in every scenario it is always terrorist fulani as your mind has figured because you are fighting the enemy..... This is what we can dream, fiction and world of illusion not reality.

So it is useless engaging someone that is naturally sleeping like you and this is the reason you are always ignored because it is just like barking to a tree.


I put reality and bluntness on issue and reality must be faced. Imagine looking for far away unknown enemies with the real ones by by side.. that's madness.


So no need reply you at all. It is utterly and totally useless.

Lol. I'll always point you out every time you get involved with Igbos. Be bold to represent your people. As for the nearby 'enemies' you mentioned, there's nothing like that. Insecurity doesn't equate enmity. There's no need for the enmity between us.
Finally, my philosophy is complex for your kind. I'll always be around.

KenyaNairobiGuy:
By ancestry you mean...hehehe I see what you did there

That's their nature. It's always about tribalism with one ethnic group in mind.

Amumaigwe:
Which tribe is SS region mbok? You can only speak for yourself as a negligible ethnic Ijaw boy. People like you are not even welcome in Biafra.

Tupu unu akocha ndi obere mba gbaranyi gburugburu onu, unu a tulee ya ofuma. Enwere ndi choro k'anyi n'ese okwu n'etiti onwe anyi. Ha achoghi k'anyi jikota aka luso ha ogu. K'anyi muru anya ka azu.

For the topic of the thread, the Op got it wrong. Nnamdi Kanu is not a terrorist because he has done nothing to warrant such a title. Your government took him to court and failed to convict him of any terrorist charges. Who then are you to open your stinking buccal cavity and spew this thrash?
Nnamdi is a fiery orator and sometimes his choice of words are distasteful but his points have always been for the emancipation of the masses. He is a freedom fighter who has walked the walk. If your looking for a terrorist in the mold of Shekau, look no further. The Miyetti Allah Chairman Bodejo is the perfect man you seek. He has acknowledged being responsible for the killings of thousands of innocent farmers and villagers. You have never in your hypocritical life called him out. He has never been invited by the DSS or even the police. Women have protested from various regions in Nigeria yet nothing has been done to him. I'll listen to you any day you take to the street asking for his arrest. So shut up and go back to your hòle.

Osagyefo98:
Oga you are making noise. Nothing concern igbos with your Christianity...

Go and align with whosoever you are aligning with as Igbos no ask for any stupid alignment..


Stop wasting your time and start doing that Immediately. It is highly welcome.

Kanu Terrorist, then Tompolo freedom fighter...


Mind your Christian entity let others worry about theirs..

nonsense.

Terrorist fulani man creating division among Christian unity. You're only deceiving yourself. All Christians lose when they fight among themselves while you fulanis rejoice, steal, kill at will and still go scot-free. All the other monikers you use to reply yourself are well known. You're a loser. Christians are uniting already. Expect our invasion soon.

ultimate77:
See adesina, keyamo and lie Mohammed... Even if they repent, they won't still see heaven.

Lol.... Chai.. If you make your stomach your God, then you can't be a king.

Ologogoro:
Mr Bayo is a hypocrite, if followed him before Buhari was elected, he was praising the Dull-ard, he then approached Femi Adesina severally for job in the presidency and when he noticed his request isn't forthcoming he started calling Femi names

Lol. It's very obvious. Would he have resigned if he was taken on board the pirate ship? NO. He's a chip of the the same block from where Femi Adeshina was mined. Na dem dem!

okpalaAnambra:
I have said this before and I will maintain...the people of Anambra east and west LGAs are not Igbos..they're Igala people, they don't have Igbo blood..even Obiano is an Igala man..

Some parts of anambra except Nnewi is cursed ... erosion and armed robbery everywhere

So bad and pathetic

Disregard this terrorist fulani man claiming to be Igbo from Anambra. His mission is always to sow tars among Igbos. He's an enemy of Ndigbo. Wherever you see him, Osagyefo88 will surface too. His same person as okoroawusa. Let the public take note.

dukeprince50:
Irrespective of who is doing it, I don't feel good when someone insults my tribe. If he is a Yoruba, Fulani or Hausa then he must be very stupid to create a thread like that, whatever his mission is, he failed woefully

I agree with you. Always ask yourself the motive behind the person starting a thread and you'll understand the aim. Check the date of registration of that moniker for confirmation. You must understand that Igbos trying to breakaway is for good of all Christians in Nigeria. Those who are not comfortable with Igbos can always forge another path after the break up. Fighting the Igbos here while fulanis are killing people all over and sitting on our collective wealth only shows that we are foolish. They will continue to paint Igbos in bad light just so they can continue to strenghten their grip on power as we continue to fight ourselves. Always bear this in mind.

dukeprince50:
i never said he is Hausa or Fulani. wen I said I suspect that it could mean different things, I'm sorry ur mind is twisted to reason things on just one particular way.

Don't let them intimidate you on your thread. At present, who are those benefiting more from our resources? Is it not the Hausa/fulanis and the Yorubas? This should be your major concern. Igbos are no saints but they're the least of your worries. Imagine a Nigeria without Igbo. This is when you'll appreciate the Igbos more.

dukeprince50:
even if you are bordered by this countries, you will still pay heavily if you sideline them. The problem is not the minority tribe but Igbos that think they can achieve without the minority tribe. They were on good terms before the Igbos did what is costing them till this day, even in the military coup, the Igbos fvcked up and till today Nigerians don't trust them, other tribes played their part and the Igbos wanted to play smart, the only person that can trust an igbo man is a fellow Igbo, you people have destroyed the few nice relationship you had with others. You shouldn't blame us, I love the Igbos but we have learnt to use long spoon to eat with them and we are careful. This is ur doing . sorry.
once trust is broken, it may never be healed

That guy is not Igbo. He's fulani and the same person as Arrewa and okpalaAnambra. His aim is to continue to put wedge between any unity we may achieve as we try to challenge them headlong. Disregard any person insulting the SS tribes as Igbos won't benefit from it. SS tribes benefit nothing fighting Igbos. Only two groups of people benefit and you know them already. Disregard anyone attacking SS tribes. Nairaland is faceless and fulanis are using it to stir division among us. You can check the date of registration of most of the monikers on this thread and you'll understand. Fulanis are scared for our unity. They'll do anything to frustrate it.

AlfaSeltzer:
If you are a self respecting Igbo, leave your pots alone. Let afonja beat their own jungle drums.

Lol. We are watching.

DanseMacabre:


Sowore don change tactics...say na sit-at-home protest, bang your pots at noon.

Las las na people wey dey stay face-me-I-face-you go bear the brunt of all the clanging.

Audio revolution.

Lol. Black people are funny. They want change but are not ready to die for it. Chai... O sumi lenu!

NockMedia:
The truth is, most northerners often dress in their native attire and cap. PMB is not an exception

Lies... they still remove their caps. Don't sheepishly try to defend the indefensible. There's an impostor in Asorock.

Frankdoz8:
Buhari is dead and buried in Saudi Arabia, as alleged by Nnamdi kanu. The man is aso rock is jubril from Sudan. Tinubu and other Yoruba Muslims knew this truth, otherwise they would have force that thing in aso rock to remove his cap and prove Nnamdi kanu wrong.

So far, this handprint proof is the most credible proof that the man in Asorock presently is north Buhari. It is clear as a sun... handprints are unique hence the cabal was forced to bring up the 4+4 hand sign to block the handprints from being seen. Majority of the people of Nigeria are either dumb or fearful.
I've noticed this consistent cap issue too. The hairline of Jubrin is quite different hence they're hiding it.

Fulmigati:
You buffoons will scream one Nigeria yet be ignorant of ethnic groups in your country. Ufuoma is an Ijaw name, fool.

Ufuoma is Urhobo. So sad that instead for youths to sacrifice their lives challenging the thieves in their countries of origin, they rather become slaves without any worth. This girl is from an oil producing state.Tufiakwa.

Lol... Let me investigate
