@Unreal_cloud@jay_rhymz@Jokeshadollar What you don't realize is the origin, meaning and depth of the phrase Yoruba Ronu. What you attack isn't an individual or group within the Yoruba but the entire body of Yoruba culture, wisdom and aspiration. You used a rallying cry to unify Yoruba against any agenda you have.
@Unreal_cloud@Jokeshadollar You're neither being sincere or fair when you say the Yoruba ronu who didn't come into play until the 2023 election started what has become the trend since the first term of Buhari. Your Ronus were waiting and eager to show they won't take what the North took for 8 years.
@JejeNiwaDon@BlehisBack I think it's more toxic than that, it is built on the hate of any opinion outside that of Obidients which is expected to be vehemently, violently forced out and repudiated once it arise. The modern day lemmings.

@kitanthegreat They stand judged already. They just don't know it yet. There is a powerful part of the Bible about the Centurion and Jesus Christ, how the centurion understood authority. These ones do not and likely would never.
The first video I saw on Instagram, today, is that of a mother whose son asked her "Mummy, what does it feel like to eat?"
The boy, now 11, doesn't have a stomach. He is sustained through TPN (total parenteral nutrition) and IV fluids. TPN usually requires a central line (a large, deep vein) because the formula is highly concentrated and can irritate smaller veins. This is what the boy has been relying on for 11 years!
Being able to eat is a gift. Be grateful for it and don't abuse it.
There's an almost gleeful undertone when some of you talk about misfortunes in the southwest (Ibadan, Ekiti, Oyo etc)
“They are killing your kinsmen”
“That’s what you get for voting”
I’ve seen it in the edited AI pictures of Mr Michael Oyedokun, the Oyo teacher who was killed.
In the way you can’t wait to attack while pretending you care about us. It’s not a good way to live. There is genuine evil in your hearts.
@BlehisBack We zing alike on finance and Christianity. I don't appreciate that Christianity doesn't require the church pooling resources to save it's members but they can pool resources to buy Gen, Air conditioning, buy land etc but members is a different story. A change is needed.
@LegendaryJoe Yoruba have always valued humanity above any cultural celebration except it's ritual prayers. The festival should not have happened. Where is the King that you're paying obeisance to? Ipob and people outside Yoruba land's opinion do not matter. They are inconsequential.
@yorubachic Yoruba shared political identity is Oduduwa. It is the same as our Cultural and historical identity. We have our myths just like any and every great civilization. We like it just like the Romans, Greeks, Jews, Scandinavians, Egyptians, Ashanti etc.
@BlehisBack It is the new subsidy market. The ones in the bush are not the ones spending the money. The ransom is recycled into the society through legit business front to hide their source. FG knows what to do and how to do it but it isn't doing for reasons best known to them.
When I was Muslim, man, this verse used to mess me up.
Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
As a Muslim, I used to think: how does God feel forsaken by God? That sounds like weakness. That sounds like a prophet in pain.
But then I dug deeper.
And I realized Jesus was not speaking randomly. He was quoting Psalm 22.
That entire Psalm, written by King David centuries before Christ, is a prophecy about the crucifixion:
“They pierce my hands and feet.”
“They divide my garments among them.”
“All who see me mock me.”
In Jewish culture, quoting the first line of a Psalm pointed people to the entire passage.
So Jesus was not crying out in confusion.
He was declaring fulfillment.
He was saying: “This is that.”
And at the same time, He was carrying the full weight of sin, shame, abandonment, and suffering for humanity.
Every moment humanity has cried out, “God, where are you?” Christ stepped into that pain Himself.
That is not weakness.
That is intentional.
That is prophecy unfolding in real time.
That is the King bleeding on purpose so humanity could be brought near to God.
That is the Gospel.
PRESS RELEASE
RE: KIDNAPPING OF TWO STAFF OF COCOA RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF NIGERIA (CRIN) AND DISCLAIMER ON FALSE REPORTS OF MASS ABDUCTION
The Oyo State Police Command wishes to inform members of the public that on 19th May, 2026 at about 1800hrs, a distress report was received at Idi-Ayunre Divisional Police Headquarters from the Chief Security Officer of the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), reporting the abduction of two staff members of the institution by unidentified armed men who reportedly invaded the premises of the institute and whisked the victims away to an unknown destination.
Upon receipt of the report, Police operatives immediately visited the scene for an on-the-spot assessment, during which preliminary findings revealed that about six armed men invaded the area before whisking the victims away to an unknown destination. In view of the gravity of the incident and the need for swift intervention, the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbemiga, psc, mnips, directed the immediate deployment of tactical and intelligence assets, including operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, to ensure the safe rescue of the victims and apprehension of the perpetrators.
Consequently, intensive bush combing and coordinated search operations commenced across the surrounding forested locations linked to the incident. It was during one of such operations on 20th May, 2026 at about 0810hrs that Police operatives encountered and accosted two suspicious individuals identified as Shehu and Abubakar. Upon preliminary interrogation, the duo volunteered to lead the operatives to the hideout of their accomplices. However, while approaching the suspected location, the team came under gunfire attack from armed men believed to be members of the kidnapping syndicate. The operatives responded professionally, repelled the attack and successfully extracted the two suspects, who are currently in custody of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad for further investigation and intelligence exploitation.
While these operations are ongoing and yielding actionable leads, the Command has observed with serious concern the circulation of false and misleading reports by certain media outlets and social media platforms alleging another mass abduction in Abanla community and other parts of Ibadan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Oyo State Police Command categorically states that no such incident has been reported anywhere within Ibadan metropolis or its environs apart from the already reported CRIN incident presently receiving robust operational attention.
The Command views the dissemination of such unverified and sensational reports as highly irresponsible and capable of creating unnecessary fear, panic and tension among residents. Beyond this, the spread of false information has the tendency to undermine public confidence in ongoing security efforts while equally diverting limited operational and emergency response resources away from genuine security concerns requiring immediate attention.
It is against this backdrop that the Command strongly advises media organizations, bloggers and social media influencers to uphold the principles of responsible reportage by verifying security-related information through appropriate channels before publication. The Police remains committed to maintaining a productive relationship with the media; however, such partnership must be guided by accuracy, professionalism and the collective interest of public safety and national security.
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Police Command reassures residents that robust security measures have been emplaced across the affected axis and other strategic locations within the State to deny criminal elements any operational foothold. Members of the public are therefore encouraged to remain calm, vigilant and law-abiding while continuing to support the Police and other security agencies with timely and credible information capable of aiding ongoing operations.
You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.
Here is a huge positive to modern life that gets no press.
I have an old 2009 Toyota, and the AUX port crapped out about a year ago. Went to YouTube. Young, enthusiastic guy explains how to fix it.
It is not obvious - involves taking the dashboard apart in a counter-intuitive way, but once you see it, it's a 15 minute fix.
There are actually dozens of videos showing how to do this, and they collectively have well over 200k views.
Had this happened in 1995, I would have just lived with it. But the combo of the replacement AUX jack available from Amazon and the video of the simple (but not obvious) fix, I fixed it.
I HAVE DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES. Replaced the control panel of my dishwasher. Replaced the ice maker in the fridge. Fixed a wonky sanding head on my drill press. Mastered a bandsaw technique that I use for my sculpture. On and on and on...
I think it is likely no exaggeration to say billions of fixes and skill upgrades have been performed worldwide that would not have been performed if it were not for the instruction freely given peer-to-peer on YouTube.
Take a moment to be happy about this. The busted item keeps performing, rather than going to the landfill. The person learning and doing the fix gains a sense of mastery and saves money. It's an unmixed blessing.
Stop doomscrolling. Think of what is busted in your house, find the YouTube video on how to fix it, and fix it.
@BlehisBack Your voice is vital whether it's for Obi or Atiku or Ashiwaju. Do not let anyone take your voice away. Do away with the need to engage anyone who comes with insults and derogatory statements. Intelligent beings reasons, attack dogs bark and bite. Post your believe.
@nestar41@BlehisBack The unimaginable abuse & extreme anger, does it change the situation? We should not under any circumstances excuse bad behaviour. The economy is tough, I have had it the toughest in the last 2 years but I would never blame anyone for my situation. I would seek my solution.
