If nobody else.... me for one is waiting for all those shouting restructuring... to see their reaction...

because 75% of those shouting restructuring in the south were against Nnamdi Kanu Seccession bid openly..

Because in their naivety the believe restructuring "aburi" would be given to them ...

now they are saying Restructuring or Break up...

This Country is a messed up entity...

We are so scared to accept the fact and only option before us... We delude our self to believe lies... lies that Buhari can deliver, lies that the Forced restructuring can work...

Nope, there's nothing useful in what he said. The annoying thing is thinking he could use the same divide and rule tactic they used on the Hausa who eventually turned against their leaders and killed them as soon as they became muslims. Same happened in the way they turned Afonja's brethren against him in the end.

You may not know but that's the tactic the Fulanis have been employing for so long and they have perfected the art so well because without these tactics, they are as useless as church rats.

What Yoruba need to do is to rise up and bring our heritage/identity to the fore to let every Yoruba know that no religion is above his heritage and as a matter of fact, Yoruba as a race is above any other races in the world hence, no idiot should speak for us regardless of our religious inclination! This is the time to solidify our oneness against any fool who intend to break us and we can only do that by championing our heritage first and foremost above anything else. Only then, we can speak out as one against anyone, be it the Fulanis or the Ibos!

They betrayed Ojukwu
They asked FFK to also sleep with his wife
They betrayed Ironsi
They also slaughtered him like chicken

Hey calm down plz. Don't vent your anger on Hausa.You said we are slaves but you looked more pained than the people whom you think are enslaved, why .

we Hausa consider Fulani our closet brothers out of our tribe.The Fulani Kings never consider Hausa as slaves( they can't dare to think that way).

You talk about having Muslim Yoruba in your family and share sallah meets with them ( That's expected of a Muslim) who are you trying to deceive here? Yourself or peeps here accept to be fool by you to makes yourself feel better.

Just because you have some members of Yoruba Muslims doesn't means you can decide on their religion and Feature.. I'm Hausa and and a pious Yoruba Muslim who obey Allah knows and accepted that im more a brother to him in your family than you are to him and so I won't let my brothers in Islam be neglected by you (Just because you his brother) ,Never and just watch insha'Allah those pious Muslim Yoruba leaders will behind what this man Yakasai said and will fully support his aurgment.

What do you stand to achieve by bringing another topic of Hausa being slaves to Fulani. ( Abinda ban dariya ) let clarify and educate you on something:

Hausa are not and will never be slaves to Fulani

(1) All the emirate Kings in Sokoto caliphate represent Their Religion (which is Islam) not their Tribe or Ethnicity

(2) Their is a misconception that all the Kings in Hausa land are Fulani of Fulani decent. The Emirates in hausaland have their Kings of Hausa decent ,Fulani decent and their are even King of Dak'karawa decent in my state and many decents.

(3) Any Emirate King in SOkoto caliphate that is of Fulani decent is not a Fulani King but an Islamic King who represent Islam and Muslims not Fulani tribes. (and cannot dare say he is a Fulani King and other are his subjects)

(4)Hausawa (Hausa people) made a huge sacrifice for the sake of Islam .We gave up our Kingdom,Dethrone some of our Kings for Islam sake. Allah makes its happen that a Fulani who learn Islam in Hausa land, who was taught Islamic teaching from a Hausa teacher (The great Usman Dan FodiO, A Fulani descent) leads the Islamic jahad.
Their are Hausa Kings in Hausaland and Their are no Fulani Kings in Hausa land . But Their are Islamic Kings in Hausa land whom are of Fulani origin.


(5)More than half the Muslims army lead by Dan FodiO for jahad are not Fulani but Hausa and other close Muslim chadic tribes. The language of governing in Sokoto caliphate is Hausa, The culture is 90% Hausa . A King in Hausa land weather hausa or Fulani or whatever can't never tell you we are his slaves. We were never enslaved and we will never be enslaved

For the sacrifices hausa made for religion of Allah (Islam) today Allah made them the most influential tribe in west africa. Their language the must accept and spoken in Africa by non Hausa, their culture is second to none in West Africa, They are the riches and will overcome all the hardship in life inshaAllah... Dan Bakin ciki zaka rayu ka gani Kuma banya-banya ba Tunda ka kirani bawan Fulani

Lmao..

The Osu finally came up with her second alt. I thought you were claiming to be Yoruba with your other alt?

Like I stated earlier, face your Osu lineage! Kapish.

franudi:
They killed Akintola they killed Awolowo, they killed Abiola and slaughter his wife Kudirat. You are myopicaly talking nonsense.

Jaqenhghar:
You were always a divided people. like you never saw it

igbeke:
I think it's high time the Yoruba Muslim leaders come out and unequivocally distance themselves from these utterances from Mr Yankassai.

The Yorubas I know very well are not divided by religion at all. They see themselves as one first before any form of religion they chose to incline to. That is why they can intermarry and still live together in harmony.

Despite the e-bashings we give ourselves here every day (which I am also guilty of), the average Yoruba Muslim is very well educated, peaceful and have no problem whatsoever with his christian counterpart.

Now, for a complete outsider who knows next to nothing about the Yorubas' esteemed culture to bring a religion as a yardstick of segregation among them is something I can't relate with.

I took my time to listen to the man's position. Though filled with disguised self interest and bias, he made some valid points. First, some set of people cannot in any way decide the course of the Yoruba Nation. Who chose these guys to decide what Yoruba wants? This is how aristocracy starts. I am first a Yoruba before a Nigerian, yet I extremely believe in the strength of diversity. History has proved that to be the most potent tool of progress in other climes. However since other ethnic groups are not buying the marriage, I understand the urgency for everyone to claim what they can. But approach and motive matters a lot so it doesn't end up being a case of pouring old wines in new bottles.

Secondly, Yakasai asserted for a National Referendum to be embedded in our Constitution before such advocacy can be valid in the first place. That makes sense. We cannot thrive in disorder when we still have a social contract. The Constitution is what makes us a country in the first place. Any modifications to that should be done from the source for it to be valid. So let all these warring factions come together and put pressure on the National Assembly to input the clause in CLEARLY defined terms. Honestly, it beats me how we got to this point as a nation where we only filter news with our sentimental ears.

I've noticed that as well but it is a tactical error on their part. We have a longer history of religious tolerance and I don't see how people from some far off land will turn families against each other. It is going to fail.

divinecode101:



I will tell you what you don't know!
It is your greedy brothers Ironsi and co. that killed Akintola. For your information, Awolowo was not murdered like your brother Ironsi.
For every Kudirat killed by Abacha, there is one million Igbos that died during the war for her.
Thousands of Igbos have been slaughtered since independence like rats! It is unfortunate Igbos will forever play second class citizens in the Nigeria project

HajimeSaito:
Hopefully Yoruba Christians will wake up to the reality of how unreliable muslims are. They are snakes and traitors who want to allign themselves with their fellow Hausa fulani muslims in order to subjugate all Christians in Nigeria. You'll see that this clown will go scot free for his utterance. He'll never be charged with hate speech.
Their useless evil religion has already laid down a master plan for them on global domination, but it won't work.
Any religion founded by a pedophile illiterate fake " prophet " Sex Award Winner ( S.A.W ) will always attract idiots.

Guy, you sound naive, I'm sorry. The last time a referendum took place in Nigeria was under the regional system, in 1963 to be precise, when the Mid-West decided to split from the then Western Region via a referendum. That '63 constitution made provision for and allowed for that referendum to hold. The current constitution does not (by design), and the real owners of Nigeria will not allow its insertion. It's not by mistake that ever since military incursion into Nigerian politics, similar acts in the form of state or local government creation were exclusively carried out by the military and by fiat, and not once has such been achieved under any civilian government since the collapse of the 1st republic -- because the real owners of Nigeria prefer a system that determines the distribution of federal revenue allocations based on population (which favours them & always works to their advantage) as opposed to resource control.

In other words, since the introduction of a unitary system and the current constitution by the military (in cohorts with the real owners of Nigeria) the Northern establishment has seen to it that the collective aspirations of Southerners (and to an extent, the Middlebelt) for a more equitable and truly federal system can hardly come to fruition. You must get their consent (which won't happen coz they know they have the numbers and will always use it to their advantage to thwart any move that they deem to be against their parasitic interests, be it resource control or what have you) to make any meaningful change to the current constitution imposed on us by the military.

- You can't have state creation without their expressed consent (they know that if you create additional states down South, you automatically create room for more lawmakers to balance the equation at the National Assembly).

- You can't create new local governments without their consent (if your state assembly creates them, they won't allow them to be funded)

- You can't generate and distribute electricity without their support

e.t.c.

Our Southern politicians representing us at the National Assembly have largely been compromised. And frankly, they still wouldn't succeed even if they moved (in unison) and attempt to address some of these issues coz they simply lack the numbers to push it through without the support of their Northern counterparts.

JikanBaura:
Those people that host the meeting just wasted their time... I agree with that Tanko yakasai said. Again meeting should be hold with both Yoruba Muslims and Christians represent Equally. For goodness sake what does this people take us for how can a decision made by one set of people and neglecting the majority Yoruba Muslims, It unaccetable.

Their is no denying that Yoruba are one United people. hence the need for both Christian,muslims,traditionalist to justly represent their blocks for stronger unity.

omonnakoda:
We need to be logical. His remark about religion is unhelpful but the truth is that the people who met yesterday were unelected and still have the task of selling their position to elected representaives to advance. In that he is correct otherwise they would not be very different from Nnamdi Kanu. There is a need to test the popularity of their position democratically and that means there is still work to be done .Good things have to be earned
