I believe the issue here is that Buharis comment was grossly taken out of context especially since it was extracted from a video address he made to INEC.

What were buharis exact words& what is d context in which he said those words?

Same Fulani herders slaughtered Yoruba indigenes in Ogun, Ondo and Oyo. I don't just understand why they're still supporting Fulani wholeheartedly. Very strange!!!

They do because they are foolish who could sell any of theirs the way they sold Abiola and killed Funsho Williams.

Yorubas can't fight your war for you, I don't know why you are shouting Yoruba up and down. Your forefathers had been romancing with Hausa/Fulani for years, may be you should revisit your history with northerners.
Chai. U don't care if ur tribe's support for Fulani supremacy or hegemony will wipe ur race provided ur immediate family is not affected. I pity poor Yorubas who are just living at the mercy of marauding killer herdsmen. The mayhem they're unleashing in Benue and partly Ebonyi had been carried out in Ogun and Ondo States, slaughtering innocent indigenes yet you don't care. Too bad!!!

Twitter investigates before removal of tweets but the question is "which individual tweeter staff handled that report or investigation"?

It was not Jack but a staff and to me that tweet was removed unjustifiably because it's content if you read the other tweets preceding that was targeted at criminal elements in general and not my tribe.

It seems u are privy to info about Twitter that other people around d world aren't aware of. Pls who is d Twitter staff u referring to? Was it d same individual that banned Donald Trump? Is it Jack Dorsey that personally bans people on Twitter or deletes their tweets?

Yorubas play dangerous and desperate politics. They can sacrifice anything to grab power. That's why they say igbos dont know how to play politics. Igbos are not good in politics for sure cos Igbos dont know how to overlook some anomalies, they must scream.



Everything they are doing, all these blind support Yorubas are giving to Buharis failed government is to deceive Hausa-Fulanis into believing that Yorubas are their best allies so that Hausa-Fulanis can trust them and hand over Presidency to a Yoruba person, mostly Tinubu.



I fear their type of political games, I hope they won't regret this desperate political game they are playing this time

So sad. I have always known Yorubas to be calculative and enlightened more than Hausa and Igbo but their constant support to high powered Fulani oligarchy especially those of Yoruba muslim adherents is still very astonishing and mind-blowing.

The best prayer for your strong enemy is for him to make mistakes that will consume him and vindicate you. Buhari government has made the world worst mistake. He is gone, just watch. In the coming days Britain will expose the secret they are helping to keep in Asorock.

I really don't blame most of these foreign media.. when you have enemies within, the enemy outside will have the guts to attack.

The reason Igbos are behaving this way is because they lost out in 2015 elections whereas Yorubas with all our resources and revenue generation have been in opposition ever since up until 2015 when we entered mainstream politics.

All the Igbo senators, house of reps, governors, ohaneze infact all of them are in support of Nnamdi Kanu and his destructive ways and they want Nigeria to fall by all means possible, reason they never criticize him or call him to order.

If you no longer want to be Nigerians, return the Nigerian passport in your possession, recall all your elected members in National Assembly, ambassadors and Civil service and start moving back home to your "country". Only then will people take you serious. You don't expect to eat your cake and still have it.

Well done... Thank you.

So, can you please show us Tweets from the same Buhari threatening civil war on the region who has killed more soldiers, civilians, and caused more destruction than we have witnessed since the actual civil war?!!... Or are we saying Ipob has suddenly become a bigger threat to Nigeria than one of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the universe?!!

Or are we gonna pretend that this nation's alarming state of insecurity is far more than Ipob agitations, and actually predates them?!!

It's okay for you to hate Ipob (I dislike them too) and even go as far as being prejudiced against Igbos... But it ought to be beneath any learned Nigerian to live in pretence.

Let's learn to call a spade what it truly is... Was the infamous Endsars saga of last year also sponsored by Ipob and Igbos?!! Did they even initiate it?!!

I do understand the basis for the action by Buhari to ban Twitter because it was beginning to look like they are selective even with their own rules and seem to want the drama or chaos that comes with turmoil because afterall in media it's all about traffic same with Nairaland.[/b]

What are d procedures Twitter follows in deleting tweets or banning individual accounts? What and what did Twitter consider before deleting d said tweet? Why is d buhari administration so hurt by Twitter? Wasn't it d same Twitter & other social media platforms that d buhari campaign & APC used in 2015 elections?

REAL REASONS BUHARI BANNED TWITTER

The reason furnished by the Government for Twitter ban was that Twitter allegedly allows its platform to be used “for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.” On the contrary, Buhari appears to be the main threat to Nigeria’s corporate existence...

I agree with you completely but Northerners themselves are gearing up to retain power through Atiku or Kwakwanso.

Well, politics is a game of numbers but I don't believe sacrificing ur people on the alter of clinching Presidential power.

Hausa-Fulani tribe has history of humiliating Yorubas but it seems the latter are comfortable with it.

When Igbos list all the bogus problems that Nigeria is facing, they always leave out ipob terrorists, terrorists gunmen, killers and murderers killing innocent people and burning down houses and businesses and onion thieves in the SE.


God Bless Nigeria.

The world knows who the real terrorists are. The people that kills and kidnapp anything they see and the government will negotiate with them with brown envelope, handshake, pardon and amnesty are not terrorists. The herders that kills, destroys, ravage and plunder Benue, Taraba, Plateau and a host of others are not terrorists.

seriously , Nigerians get problem , i still don't see why people are surprised about this government or buharis actions , this is something we have said since 2015 that will happen if buhari is elected president and as far as buhari is concerned , he is actually living out his dream life .

This is just the beginning , the worst is yet to come .
