Now, if this an opionated forum u'll learn to respect nd tolerate hw other ethnic react to issues without using insultive words, dnt u tink so?

A discussion on Nairaland should be similar to the type of discussions I have with my friends everyday.

In fact, my very good southwest friends hVe boasted many times to me that the southwest elites are the champions of democratic struggle, social justice and the triumph of the rule law in Nigeria.
And I completely concur.

Now, tell me, what is wrong with me going back to my southwest friends and asking them what the heck is going on? Why are the southwest champions of social justice and the rule of law now on sabbatical?

This is a legitimate question.
Should my friends now feel offended that I asked ?

There is no reason for you to feel offended, irrespective of who is doing the asking.

Ogun

In Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital South West Nigeria and the hometown of the late Moshood Abiola, the occasion was marked with a walk organized by the state government and a special prayer session at the family house of the late business mogul.

From the take-off point of the walk at the June 12 Cultural Centre, through major streets of the state, the state deputy governor led other members of the State Executive Council on the walk which lasted for about two hours and terminated at the family house of the late MKO Abiola.

Osun

In Osun State, civil society groups held a rally in Osogbo the state capital to promote their view that June 12 should be regarded as Democracy Day instead of May 29.

The group comprising civil society organisations, students and market women walked from Ayetoro area to Freedom Park and later moved on to Olaiya junction singing and chanting songs of democracy.

Oyo

Workers in Oyo State would be observing a work-free day on Monday as the Oyo State Governor, Mr Abiola Ajimobi, has declared Monday, June 13, as public holiday in commemoration of the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.

A statement by the Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy to the Governor, Mr Yomi Layinka, conveyed the Governor’s decision, on Sunday.

“June 12 remains a watershed in the history of the country, because of the significance of the day in the nation’s democratic journey, having broken all ethnic and religious barriers.

Lagos

The Office of Civic Engagements in the office of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State marked the 23rd anniversary of June 12 with the theme, ‘Democracy And Inclusiveness; A Basis For Good Governance’.


Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tunji Bello, called for true federalism and national unity regardless of religion and ethnicity.

Also speaking at the occasion, legal practitioner and former NADECO leader, Chief Ayo Opadokun said that June 12 would continue to remain relevant in the nation’s democratic history.

He also called on federal and state authorities to show more respect for the rule of law.

Legitimate question or not, I'v answered your question and also dispelled the writers tribal and ethnic baiting idiotic nonsense.


The fact that the ignorant writer wrote his ethnic baiting trash based on ignorance and tribalism doesn't mean Yoruba people stopped have stopped June 12 activities and remembrance.






And the preacher's death in Abuja is a law enforcement issue. Law enforcement in Nigeria is not rooted in the SW by law, it's National so why take the law into our own hands to dispense justice and I don't even know what you are demanding? Demonstration, protests, fights, blowing things up and destruction?

What exactly are you and the ignorant and ethnic writer suggesting?

nnachukz:
Nothing strange is happening there my dear. They are just showing their slavish nature, betrayal and coward attitude they are well known for.

plaetton:

I wholeheartedly agree, and apologize if anything I posted was misconstrued as an insult.
It wasn't my intention.

vislabraye:


I know what I'm saying. It's just as if there's conspiracy of silence. While i don't want to blame the SW alone, it bothers me that after that lady was killed, no SW person led a protest against it. But some foolish women led protest against Dino because he abused Tinubu. .
I've heard people down South defend some of the atrocities of the herdsmen or Northern moslems. Someone once said that the reason the herdsmen kill is because their cattles are being stolen. He said the herdsmen don't just kill like that.

amodu:


It is quite pathetic when I see statements of this sort, it is tantamount to saying we Yorubas, Lagosians in particular are stupid for being accommodating and tolerant.

Keep it up, your utterances will always wreck havoc and agony on you and your people, another cry and severe weeping awaits you when the Lagos State Government descends on you again and decide to demolish those properties you derived joy in just as it happened with the markets we borrow you to sustain your generations and lineage.

plaetton:


You see?

You have , after all, answered the question as best as you could.
That's all that was needed.

All the squabble about the OP's motives were not necessary.

geraob1:


U have no choice than to be accommodating and whether you like to hear it or not. D Igbo's are playing a major role in d economics of Lagos. It cud never have been achieved by ur lots

you lost a city. ilorin.

wat fuckery

RichYoungNigga:
It amazes me how these Amala and Ewedu eating clowns are so brave on the internet, they don't say shiit in real life.

Their Good for nothing brothers are up north blowing themselves up like idiots.

Well, the igbos own Lagos, we bought all their lands, properties and now we're moving to Ogun state to buy everything there, we must extinct this stinky tribe.

Abagworo:
If I talk now dem go begin wail. Why do some Igbos like meddling? We have our issues worse than Yorubas but we leave them feeling wiser than Yoruba. Noise making is not equivalent to courage and secession is not solution to bad governance. Let us learn to mind our business mbok.

heydora:
SW use their BRAins...even if things don't go as planned ....we use our brains.....that is why were are the most intelligent and most feared...

You can't eat your cake and have it! The sw are facing the karma for their betrayal of the other southern regions.
We supported obj twice. When it became their turn to support us they used propaganda , malicious lies and their 30 pieces of silver in the form of vp slot to betray us...
Karma is a b!tch!

To think that they thought there jagaba could control buhari is truly laughable.

Godwin616:
"The Yoruba are not known to keep quiet in the face of injustice or aberration. I don’t know what has happened in the Southwest. If anybody knows, please let him enlighten me."
As the OP rightly observed, Yorubas are known for speaking out when necessary. They have been speaking out since the military regime and has not changed. Its the obvious fact that Yorubas are the moouthpiece of the massess againt any form of injustice and misrule, be it military or civilian. Am sure they will still speak out at the appropriate time. Perharps they want to give PMB and APC a benefit of doubt. Even though they know that political appointments is skewed towards the north yet they won't consider it enough reason to make noise. Its too early to wail. We all know the economy is not smiling at the momemt. And we are all feeling it Ibo/Yoruba/hausa. If we don't get positive change in few months time, you will see Yoruba coming out in large no voicing out. Some have been talking while majority others believe we should still give APC some more time. We are still watching to see where the pendulum of change will swing. That's why Jagaban too is silent and watching. That is a key attribute of a Yoruba man, they think a lot before taking an action.

lawani:


That is an uninformed comment. The pre Nigeria state of Ilorin shares no borders with the Sokoto caliphate. If it has that border, Can you tell me the border town? So educate yourself bros. No Sokoto caliphate army ever occupied Ilorin at any time but a Fulani was made Chief Imam and one Fulani after him. They were installed by Yoruba Muslims. The next Ilorin head was an Oyo man Oba Moma a candidate of the Alaafin who was frustrated by the Muslims again. He blew himself up when the Baloguns frustrated him. The present chief Imam now styled Emir is from Balogun Gambari meaning Hausa not Balogun Fulani. I hope you understand now? Read article below.

gannod:



I am from the southwest,Ekiti to be precise. I think you are spot on! The problem with the Yoruba people is their hypocrisy,it is second to none. I hope the Yoruba youth would free themselves from this mental slavery and chart a new course for themselves politically. Abo oro la n so fun omoluabi.....

Vendoor:
I remember how the same Yorubas invaded GEJ with all manner of protest and statements that raised the roof.


That's why the Igbos don't blend with Yorubas, its in their attitude. Just offer them common food today and watch how a Yoruba man will lye on the floor and worship you like god. The north only offer them the VP possition and they already lying flat with their heads down like cowards.


The Igbos are brave, that's why FG (North) takes their case seriously!

vayne:
The north takes the east more serious than any other region in this country,see how they are quick to respond in defense whenever an Igbo is killed or there is an attack in igboland because they know the consequences,
But I can't say same for the SW as they have sold their right snd have been compensated....silence is and will remain their portion atleast till 2019.

theEYe21:
Mind you, I'm not yoruba, because some people don't agree to your delusions and madness doesn't make them yoruba. You're ignorant and a stereotype

haryomikun:

What are you saying sir? The Yoruba's turn to support you guys? Or have you forgotten how Yoruba's massively supported GEJ in his first term until we saw he couldn't deliver

Ejanla07:



weather you lost it to Hausa or fulani. not my problem.
