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.

More from Government

Typically excellent piece from @dsquareddigest The exponential insight is especially neat. Think of it a little like fishing...today you can’t export oysters to the EU (because you simply aren’t allowed to), tomorrow you don’t have a fish exporting business (to the EU).


The extremely small minority of people who known anything about this who think that Brexit will be good for the City make a number of arguments which I shall address in turn...

1. They need us more than we need them. This is a variant of the German carmakers argument. And we know how that went...Business will follow the profit opportunity and if that has moved then so will the business...

And what do we mean by us / we. We’re not talking about massed ranks of Euro investing / trading etc blue blooded British institutions.

Au contraire. We’re talking about the London based subs of US, Asian and indeed European capital markets players...As soon as they think the profit opportunity has moved then so will they...it’s a market innit...

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (
https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
