The teachers/hostages who were released stated that they were not rescued but released and that they crossed two rivers/streams to get to where the NSA drivers where waiting for them with two white tinted buses bearing Islamic inscription stickers pasted behind them. These buses conveyed all of them to where the soldiers were waiting for them.
It is apparently glaring that the Federal Government cannot and will not be able to protect Nigerians against the drove of armed fulani bandits enveloping the nation the only solution to this crisis is for every other person to have the ability to legally own arms to defend themselves their family and their homes, only under such a situation will this criminals respect themselves.
Secretbloodline: Yes I am aware of the disadvantage that the poor villagers had against the heavily armed slave raiders yet these were men that looked like them not Arabs or Moroccans or Whites.
You see the one thing my forefathers were willing to do that Africans were unwilling to do that is kill our own when they broke certain laws. That's what the Covenant means that I often hear African Americans talk about and other Africans like they really are about keeping the law. If we found anyone doing witchcraft in feudal France we killed them. If we found anyone doing homosexuality we killed them. If a woman was loose we severely chastised her . There was no Feminism in Feudal France. My forefathers did not tolerate Jezebels. Life was strict in France compared to England. A covenant is a solemn promise that the entire community makes that if one breaks it then they will deal with that one regardless whose family member it is. We also set up defensive measures for the other groups around us who did not have such a covenant.
The people who really should pay reparations are the wealthy African families whose wealth came from Slavery and Colonialism. There's a Yoruba pastor who gave a sermon on all the wealthy families still living rich from their collusion with the British.. Families that still control large portions of Nigeria's natural resources and collect dividends like it all belongs to them. These are the ones who hide behind Freemasonry lodges and swear everyone to secrecy. That's how the wealth is controlled still by these greedy people that came from Slavery and Colonialism. The British have such a corrupt system where the Lords of London families control all the banks and corporate in the UK and use Freemasonry to swear everyone to secrecy.
The raiding groups responsible for the Trans-Saharan slave trade in Nigeria were the Fulani and Kanuri, not Arabs. These groups are not indigenous to the Nigerian geopolitical space.
While the raiding parties were not composed of Arabs, Arab traders and advisors sometimes accompanied them. Their role was to provide professional guidance on logistics and the organization of the slave trade. Where are ur forefathers from?
Secretbloodline: Yet your ancestors betrayed those that they sold to the Arabs. Betrayal has a heavy price. I'm not of your bloodline but many of African Americans are especially the women, your bloodline has issues with narcissistic worship and don't factor betrayal as immoral but positional. If the betrayer benefits it's considered strong but if it backfires then they're so sorry. In the laws of justice a betrayer will always find themselves betrayed. So are you going to tell me that your ancestors who sold their own kind to the Arabs wasn't aware of the horrible treatment these poor souls would receive? And you can't possibly believe that those who made it a lifestyle and livelihood taking freedom from poor villagers did not inflict horrible treatment upon them as well? What of the human sacrifices of slaves by your ancestors? Do you want me to expose that or will you do the honors? Also please be aware how others treat you is how they see you treat one of your own. This is the science of sociology and it follows a group principle that some of your ancestors clearly ignored. The image of slaves everywhere being Black painted a horrible picture that all Africans were worthless scum. The honorable thing for Africans to do is pay reparations to themselves. All your wealthy families that got rich off of Slavery and Colonialism should openly apologize and offer reparations to poor villages their ancestors exploited. The belief that this accordian will come from outside of Africa is very misguided. Love thy self first.
Comprehension is always an issue for many. raiding a community is not a business transaction. Raiders attack a vulnerable community murder any resistance and capture survivors as slaves. Raiders had weapons and horses the victims did not have. Although slavery has morphed into kidnapping and horses to AK-47 today
Secretbloodline: **The Complex Reality of Slavery in Pre-Colonial Sub-Saharan Africa:**
### **1. African Slave Raiding & Trade Dynamics** - Historically, enslavement within Sub-Saharan Africa was often: > - A practice where rival ethnic groups (*not Arabs/whites*) raided each other for captives… >> Which were then sold to Muslim or European traders—creating a domestic-to-international slave pipeline!
### ***2*. The "Big Man" Culture of Slavery*** Local rulers/powerful men: > - Saw capturing slaves as a prestige activity… >> Celebrated among their own people until it backfired—leading to internal resentment later.
3\. Post-Weakening Regret: Once communities realized they were being exploited (by losing too many able-bodied members), remorse grew—but the damage was already done...
Arabs participated as traders, financiers, and caravan organizers without Arab involvement, the Fulani and kanuri raiders wouldn't exist. In fact in comparison to europeans and Americans arabs were 1000 times more brutal in their dealings. castrating all males and creully eliminated any child birthd by the abducted African women raped by their captors. Despite the fact that the population of victims abducted and forcefully taken into the Arab world is more than double the population stolen away into Europe and Americas not one African Arab exist. Any demand for reparation to the Arabs should be at least 10times against that to europeans
Secretbloodline: The Arabs bought slaves not raided. The Africans raided each other and made free people into slaves. It was a celebration of catching slaves, that's where the Big Man title started.

247man: He actually made a lot of sense. Good luck to Nigerians bearing arms. Inter tribal clashes will become more blurdy
There for let us continue to allow only Fulani terrorist and kanuri bokoharam to bear arms and leave other Nigerian lives at the mercy of evil forces? Wait until it gets to you .
Does the OP prefer that the people remain unarmed and helpless as they are getting wiped off the face of the Earth. The irony of all this is that the people terrorizing Nigerians with kidnapping and death for their gains now were also terrorizing Nigerians since 1500 year ago with death , kidnapping and slavery during the era of the trans-saharan slave trade. They are devoid of humanity and will continue to pick off others as long as it is profitable. The only way to arrest these evil people is the ability to fight back bestowed with the possession of arms. In conclusion, If every Nigerian is armed, armed criminality will cease to exist.
DomPerignon: Why are you not dragging the brand new FCT with Arewa ?
Obviously you are distracted from the great danger facing the Yoruba. Are we sure you are Yoruba. Igbo's buy whatever they own. Those that are taking what belongs to the yoruba's are not being disturbed you are here disturbing peaceful people
The bandits in the North have already established their foot hold. They are now trying to have a grip on the south, the governor is teaching the southern governors how to give bandits a soft landing without out relocating the displace people back to their homes or giving justice to the victims.
The insecurity is focused on displacing and replacing entire communities the kidnapping and robberies are side gigs . Put the hardship and cheating narrative in your pocket as they are useless lies fabricated to deflect an obvious jihad ambition
Ttalk: Why must you make it a Yoruba issue, was there no killing in other parts of the country over the years? Why are you being selective in your criticism, there are killings in SE, NC, NW, NE and SS, why do you make Oyo abduction different from the one happening in other region?
Ok ignore the bandits and their territoral ambition in SW and forget about all the insecurity related matters including the kidnapped and sharia drive let us talk about how obi must not have the opportunity to change Nigeria for the better and how Igbo want to take of SW and NC
FSBoperator: And your obi could only secure free ticket for himself without even helping any of you to get a single state house legislative slot.
The party gave him free ticket because they need him to be on any radar. Obi is not looking to high Jack any political structure (he is the structure) he is only interested in a platform to present himself to Nigerians as a servant. He is sure of only himself, he's not sure of you and others , Obviously you are already one who is bent on preserving the corrupt system for all we know you might even be a member of NDC and you want him to help you? By the way Is he your father?
Plenty letters written up there by the OP for the unknowing.
Below is the infallible truth.
1. NDC is what it is today and tomorrow only because of OBI. Labor party and ADC will enlightened you.
2. If Obi joins boy's scout club and calls it a political party it will win any election in Nigeria even for green horn politicians.
3. Venting your hatred and bigotry for Obi only gives him free advert and introduction to others who need a change from the corrupt system many of you so desperately want to preserve.
Counterigbolies: u are from here but it seems u ain't that worried about what happens here
Are oyo lives more valuable than the 1800 people here?
Obviously you are more concerned with bigotry to pay any attention to murdered, kidnapped, displaced Yoruba and even the ongoing imminent invasion of Yoruba territory by bandits ....iti a shame that a grown conscience and humanity can take a back sit for bigotry .
As regards the issue of kidnapping that happened recently in Oyo state, I can see some people running around and jubiliating like they are happy it happened.
You will see many of them use lines like
"Who did they vote" "We told them"
Just like I said in my previous threads that it's crystal clear this insecurity is being orchestrated by opposition to give the incumbent a bad name.
As if they isn't enough, many of them have turned to emergency social media influencers just like they did in 2023 and failed and now their major topic is oyo kidnapping.
Like you will as yourself if it's not these same people who came from where over 1800 people were killed within the last few months, you will begin to ask yourself of these are not the same sets of people that dare not go out on Monday?
If you so much despise insecurity like this, then your place should be paradise.... imagine one faded celebrity who hasn't gone to his village for the past 5 years because of insecurity is now the spokesperson for oyo kidnapping.
Like you will be forced to ask yourself, are these people not from that particular place where they can't step their foot into? If they channel all these oyo energy into their place they won't be scared to go to their villages.
As if that's not enough, many of them are beginning to turn it into political campaign for their packaged fraud,they are now saying if it's their packaged fraud it won't happen...the reality is that Nigerians are wiser now, nobody will vote for your overnight messiah, the same man you all gathered to curse when he was governor now suddenly become the messiah we all should accept....never
It is truly amazing how this bigoted thread is avoiding the cause and actors of the insecurity engulfing the SW, ignoring the plight of the very young and innocent children being slowly ushered to greater pain and suffering by their abductors, even as one of these children has died in captivity along with great brother Michael, who was decapitated for his faith. Part of the condition to free these victims is the introduction of sharia law in Oyo, and DAILY BANDITS ARE CAUGHT TRYING TO INFILTRATE LAGOS IN THEIR NUMBERS. But this thread shamelessly pursues politics clad in bigotry and inclined towards hate. Do better to lend a voice to the victims, IDPs, and the existential danger facing the SW.
Richtaiwo: Yet, the same fulanis will not vote Tinubu but will troop out in mass to vote Peter Obi. Only Okike Abiama understands how some brains operate.
if you think fulani will leave atiku and vote obi oil no dey headm only hausa will vote obi enmass
