To be fair, that was what I thought I we were getting in 2015. Now I have no idea what we have.

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

Nigeria needs a competent and equally mad leader. Someone that knows how to wipe madness out of a large number of people over a short period of time.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@GeneralSnow_ Is this also political activism?

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@YusufAsunmogejo I wish all this energy will also be shown towards insecurity affecting a lot of Muslims all over the country. No be to dey fight for hijab for secondary school students wey no really concern you.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@Elia_Kim_ @AFTVMedia @RashadJuniorr Your recognization means diddly squat.

@oyimzy There are 3 countries hosting. Not just the US

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@ala_nso @ms0nigghaz So six random girls represent the entire Yoruba race? Ọmọ, no use this your brain cross road ó.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@General_Somto As expected, it's all about flexing tribal egos and nothing to do with wanting to bring the victims home. The tribalism dripping from the responses to my comment says it all.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@General_Somto It's simple, the children and their teachers are still being held in the bush. Please rush down to Oyo State and do the needful so you can't stop being ashamed and show the rest of Yorubas how it's done.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@papichulo4224 Unforced error?

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

It is the constitionally guaranteed rights of any qualified Nigerian to run for office anywhere in the country. But the constitution did not say when you run for office then the people must vote for you and when they don't they are bigots. That's where I have issues.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

1. The thing is Igbos have been running for the office of governor in Lagos state for a long time so this is not a new thing. The issue stems from the expectation that when an Igbo candidate vie for that office then they should be voted and not voting them is denying their rights

[O.J Darasimi @josh_olonade]

These conversations do not come as a shock to me. Precedence dictates expectation.
The SE, North, etc have historically maintained a heavily conservative approach regarding non-indigene participation in areas ranging from land ownership, residency to political power.

Yorubas conversely, in their instinctive bid for hospitality especially in the light of the then just ended Biafra War, have practiced a perhaps unhealthy ultra-liberal, restriction-free accommodation of non-indigenes, and as a result, you can’t expect a people to respect a boundary you never set in the first place.

That’s why for these discussions, Lagos will always be the focal case-study. Not with Northerners, where their fierce conservatism triggers an immediate, reactionary pushback to the slightest perceived incursion, nor with Igbos where as basic as Land ownership by non-indigenes is exceptional, but the place that has served as a historical epicenter of boundary-less accommodation.

Virtually all other regions established clear boundaries, it's only natural to see this pushback in the one region that didn’t. The current tension is simply the result of a region finally trying to establish boundaries where none previously existed.
P.S: I think if these guys say it’s Igbo not Ibo, the insistence on the latter becomes malicious and unnecessary.

@tchato18 An Arsenal player is literally being choked in the photo you posted yet you say Arsenal are the ones scoring WWE goals. The joke writes itself. Lol

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@ogundamisi @fkeyamo Actually, the traffic along the airport corridor is severe. I'm speaking as someone who plies that road everyday. However, I also see why the resources for the rail should be put elsewhere. And I totly agree with your sentiments.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@Sakaextra2 Very simple. Edu and Denilson.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@athams37 @DejiAcre I'm yet to see any violent attack of anyone or war. Have you?

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@IdrisAOni1 What's the point of all these sha? Shariah worked so well for the north so you want it in the South West? So if the Oniseses and the Christians want their own laws too in the same South west, would you be for or against it?

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@athams37 @DejiAcre It's been happening now? Where?

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@athams37 @DejiAcre Has there ever been any time in history where you see any Yoruba person regardless of their religion fights another Yoruba person because of their religion? Has there ever been a Yoruba Muslim vs Other Yorubas war or violent crisis before? Your last statment is simply wrong.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@IdrisAOni1 I mean it's one of the tenets of the faith to visit Saudi Arabia and you're expected to pray 5 times daily using the Arabian tongue plus every prayer and supplication is in Arabic. If that's not centering Arabs I wonder what is. But shout out to my non Arabian Muslims, I guess.

[OlumiDe @Oluamyd]

@ishakaa @abdool_moh I guess for you, kidnapping children, babies, teenagers, their teachers and caregivers and taking them into the same bush and forests these guys were arrested in, kpaing some of them while taking them through excruciating torture, do not count as egregious to you.
