Interesting parapo meeting today, anger, lots of 'THEY' vs 'US'. The zoom meeting was well attended. People threatening fire, thunder, tagging those of us calling for calm "Traitors".
Then I asked, how many of your children were involved in the Ibadan killings today? SILENCE!
Then one of my "Comrade" himself and his wife are always jumping from @channelstv to @ARISEtv. I asked him, aside your television rounds, have you ever handled an AK47? Simple question, he called me a bastard.
I asked will your Ibadan radio station host 100 Eso's? SILENCE!
Then another one, he was Afenifere lackeys, during the Ajegunle crisis, the same one who chopped money meant for young Yoruba who were defending their streets, mane died needlessly. I asked when last he visited Eso zones across Yoruba land. SILENCE! He kept ranting Fulani bla bla
Then practical questions to another, do we have a list of our vulnerable settlements? Any attempt to activate our fighting organisations so that all manner of people don't go about attacking innocent non Yoruba. SILENCE!
That one pretended he had poor network. No answer!
Then another one, he said I had 'changed'. I told him, you cant have witnessed a wicked Yoruba ruling elite, hype up sons and daughters of the poor and personally attended the burial of many of those unsung heroes and not call for extreme caution and the need to truly be prepared
Then the other clown, the one that shuttles between Kaduna, Jigawa and Bauchi government agencies, he hates the Fulani, but not the @elrufai or @atiku or any other rich Fulani. But the poor Fulani in Yoruba settlements. They are the easy target. They are not in the forest.
Then when I raised the issue of holding ALL Yoruba political office holders to account, they kept screaming @MBuhari I told them I am as disappointed in Buhari as they are but hey, stop sidestepping our Yoruba elected officials, be it @OfficialAPCNg or @OfficialPDPNig SILENCE!
Then one accused me of being 'abroad'. Ah! The same person, his wife and his children are in America. I told him to bring his immediate family back to Nigeria and I will join them. All trough military rule I stayed in Nigeria. I left after civilian rule, who is the Coward here?
I might be a lone voice, but for the sake of Gari Ifo whose corpse we never recovered, the sake of Alahji Toyin, whose head was chopped off and placed in a calabash, For the sake of hundreds of young Yoruba led to their early grave. I will always call for a better way than war.
If @MBuhari isn't doing well, mobilise for a legitimate removal. *Impeachment *Cabinet invoking an act for removal or PMB choosing to resign. Any other means including burning your own community. I will oppose. No one is more Yoruba than the other. We must find a better way.
Some of us know each and everyone of you, we know your plan B. We know how you will end up in the Diaspora when Nigeria descends into Somalia, you will jump from @CNN to @BBCNews as 'experts' whilst the poor attacks the poor and your NGO rake in foreign donation to "help out".
If you can not see how you are slowly making Yorubaland the Ground Zero of the Nigerian conflict, how the same people who control the Nigerian Civil Society Space have a kitchen cabinet where narratives are cooked to the local and International media then you can never see.
If it was really about headsmen, our strategy will be to focus on the forests, play offence not defence. Yoruba land of 2021 is diverse, we have Igbo Yoruba. Hausa Yoruba. Igala Yoruba and others, it is home and we must find a way to make those groups allies in defending our poor
If raking and making noise with little preparation is the way forward, like masturbation, you will ejaculate, but it does not replace having the real poi.
It is not too late to look back at the mistake of the past to correct the wrongs of today. The choice is for us all.
For the records. I am not opposed to Oduduwa Republic or the right of any other group to self determination but my views have changed about getting to that destination. If it can not be achieved without bloodshed, call me a coward. I'd rather work to make what we have now better.
To those young people going about attacking those who do not speak your lang, when the refugee ship arrives Nigeria in a full blown conflict. @MBuhari will make room first for the family of his opponents before he remembers either his supporters or supporters of his opponents.
To the North. The fear of farmers being attacked are real, women being raped are real, communities chased away from ancestral lands are real. You have to mount pressure on your political leaders to seek sincere, genuine and fair solution with their southern counterparts.
The anger a lot of people feel against Boko Haram, a lot of none Northerners, that same anger should be channelled to those terrorising the South, they are mainly of Fulani extraction, but that does not mean they commit crime in the name of the Fulani. We are all in this together
To @MBuhari & @ProfOsinbajo, you sure have no idea what is brewing in the South West. It is not just what is brewing, it is the reaction that will come from the North (If it is allowed to continue unresolved) WAKE UP! I'd rather be an alarmist than keep quiet. God bless Nigeria.
Particularly @NGRPresident@MBuhari I started supporting you when no one dared touch you in the South West. Since ANPP days. Never gained personal favour from your government despite all the rumours in the public domain. Been begging @tundefashola to fix Ikare road. No answer.
Mr President @MBuhari if you see ever see this, take the current Herders/Farmers conflict as your own BH incubation when OBJ mismanaged Mohammed Yusuf.
If this is the only favour I will get from supporting you, please. DO BETTER! Declare a war on all criminal elements with AK47.
Post Note! The clown in the meeting that was screaming Sunday Igboho.
I wont be the one to bust the myth. I recognise that the emergence of Sunday speaks volume of our collective failure.
All I can say is if it gets too hot. Sunday will join is family in Germany.
I KNOW IT!
To those social media warriors, hosting live @Facebook broadcasts, attacking other ethnic groups and blaming all that is wrong in Yoruba land on the Fulani. I wish I can laugh at your ignorance, but it isn't funny at all. Most of you are young, so you just have no idea.
To those in the Yoruba Diaspora, raising money for some imaginary war. You had better channel your funds to our villages, primary health care centres need your funds than the pretenders scamming you. When the real war starts, they will be in Benin republic before you say EGBE!
One of the very urgent solution is for @MBuhari declare that war and mobilise all the GOC's of Nigerian Army in SW and hold them responsible in the defence of our Forest reserves, to protect both the Farmers and Herders until political leaders find a lasting solution.
Anyone deceiving you that we have a charm that can win us a war, if it worked, they would have used those charms against the invaders, we are in 2021 this is not Ogun kirji or the Ogedengbe wars, we need all hands on deck to protect both visitors, settlers and all in S WEST.

Governor Ortoms latest 11 minutes anti-Fulani rant was Ortom's at his very best, if there is one area he hasn't failed as Governor, it is blaming the Fulani for everything wrong whit his government, but let us separate the message from the messenger. He raised some VALID POINTS.
You may disagree with Ortorm and heaven knows he's an opportunist whose only achievement as Benue Governor is his rabid anti-Fulani rants and generally criminalizing the Fulanis without even any attempt to separate the criminal elements from peace-loving Fulanis.
is a perfect opportunity for Ortom and some of his other Governor colleagues to cover their own incompetence, but you cannot argue against Ortoms valid point that the President, Muhammad Buhari has acted in ways that have left even some of his staunch supporters baffled.
Sunday Igboho accuses Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II of Cowardice and betraying Yoruba people. Propose the use of AK47 to attack those he suggests are betraying the Yoruba people.
(In Yoruba)
"Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II is an animal and he's insane., @MBuhari is scared of me but Ooni failed to speak the truth to Buhari" Sunday Igboho
"Stop wearing "Lawani" or else...." Sunday Igboho warns Oluwo of Iwo Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi as he accuses @AsiwajuTinubu of influencing Yoruba Kings.
They kidnapped 2 kids, kept them in the forest, sadly the kids died.
Shocking how one of the journalist tried desperately to get the boy to claim he's Fulani.
Yes! We have a lot of Kidnappers of Fulani heritage but we should stop shying away from reality of our own criminals.
Herding isn't just carried out by Fulanis, to resolve this crisis we have to widen the horizon to criminals who are of our ethnic stock and work hand in hand with the criminal elements Fulani or otherwise in the Forest.
Dear @MobilePunch your former staff Tunde Odesola published a completely false story, inserted my name into THE story you published on October 18, 2017, titled Kakanfo my foot! I recall pointing out the inaccuracies in the story in 2017 but you chose not to correct the FALSEHOOD!
The story Kakanfo my foot! published by your stable @MobilePunch is a LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL! As a self-acclaimed 'credible' media your platform should be able to correct itself and APOLOGISE when mistakes are made.
.@MobilePunch having provided you with the link let me point out the FALSEHOOD that can easily be VERIFIED but suprisingly your Editors chose to run stories without verification. A Free Press does not entitle you to publish LIES. COOK UP STORIES AND ADD MAGGI AND SALT FOR PROFIT.
Yenn yenn yenn you love Jerry Rawlings and what he did in Ghana but if dem say make them sacrifice Obasanjo, IBB and Gowon for Nigeria now, the same you will CC USA and Cambodia.
Let's be managing awa gelede democracy je jely. You have no idea the sacrifice Ghana made to be here
The bloodletting for change of the 70's and 80's and the days are idealistic but proven to be unsustainable even with the emergence of strong Leaders. Building strong sustainable institutions with the people resolving to change is the way out. Rawlings himself realised that.
Ghana didn't just change because of all the killings perpetuated by Rawlings. Ghana changed because Ghanaians resolved to change, the difference being Nigerians want change but Nigerians don't want to change.
Nigerians blame everyone but themselves for Nigeria's challenges.
