“Seyi Makinde fall for gutter, march am march am, Ogundoyin, IGP, shetimma, Tinubu fall for gutter, march am march am”
Serious protest ongoing in Ibadan over ins£curity, bad governance and economic hardship in the country.
This is the kind of mindset many Yoruba people are rejecting.
A Yoruba Muslim chants something in Yoruba and your first concern is whether the North will approve of it.
Since when did the North become the measuring stick for Yoruba identity or even Yoruba Islam?
Some of you seem more concerned with pleasing distant religious gatekeepers than preserving your own culture and dignity. That’s the real hypocrisy.
And this is exactly the unwritten hierarchy many of us have been talking about.
“Security tip in case you get k!dn&pp3d by b&ndi7$ in Nigeria: once you have access to your phone, don’t call the police or DSS, just tweet !nsulting a senior government official and !nsult them in their full name and drop your phone. In the next 24 hours they will find you and your location.”
— Man says. 😭💀
Na until all of us die???? Don’t be distracted oh. 42kids are in captivity in Borno. 35 in ogbomosho. Terrorists are doing giveaway on TikTok and Tinubu is lying that they will be found. We are on our own oh. Fight back.
The more I try to be quiet about this, the more I realize people need to know what we are not talking about.
A church revival was attacked.
A pastor was killed.
Families were torn apart in minutes.
Among those taken were three siblings. Their mother, who had initially escaped by running away went back because her children were among those being taken.
A church member rushed to help the pastor after the attack.
He had an accident on the way too and by the time he regained consciousness, he was told his wife and 3 children had been abducted.
The man lost his leg!
Now, more than 40 days later, families are still waiting for answers.
“The Kinds Of Weapons, Ammunition, Explosives, Sophisticated Military Equipment And Hardware I Saw With The Nigerian Police, Military, DSS, And Civil Defence Today In Abuja To Stop Our Peaceful Protest Was Too Much. I Haven’t Seen Anything Like It Before. The Only Thing The Nigerian Armed Forces Didn’t Bring Out Today Was a Fighter Jet. So I’m Asking, If You Have All These Kinds Of Weapons And Equipment, Why Haven’t You Used Them To Rescue Those Students And Teachers In The Bush And To Fight These Terror!sts And B@ndits?”. ~ VDM Of Awka
I’m now reduced to begging. I have no job, no opportunities, and nothing to hold on to, all because of bad governance. Tinubu has turned things from bad to worse. None of the promises he made has been kept.
How did we get here? This suffering is too much.

Emir of sokoto has more than 23 of our oil well. Nig Govt is biased and wicked. They only show powers where in Niger Delta & Igbo land. They hate us. Yorubas are one of our problems, we can never be one, Nigeria must divide and Niger Delta will join Biafra.

Nigeria sells raw cocoa at $8,000 a tonne. Processed into butter it earns $48,000. Made into chocolate it earns $240,000. 30 times the money, yet Nigeria is still choosing $8,000.
