Guy, with all due respect, don't get things twisted. Unless you want to engage in 'abosi', you have to acknowledge that a cross-section of Yorubas have been very vocal in their condemnation of Buhari's silence and indifferent attitude toward the herdsmen atrocities; I personally have been consistent in my condemnation of his leadership style since he assumed office on this very forum. That some Yorubas still choose to express support for him shouldn't excuse that fact -- after all, he also has supporters from other regions as well even up till now.

Now, as far as his reelection is concerned, Yorubas alone can't stop his ambition. While our region may be considered critical 'swing voters' due to the unpredictability of our voting pattern, one cannot overlook other variables that will also come into play. In any case, it looks like we will be limited to choosing between two patrons of the same terrorist Fulani herdsmen anyway (Buhari and Atiku). Only far-reaching restructuring that grant the regions/geopoliitical zones the autonomy to run their own affairs, or outright disintegration of this psuedo-nation can bring a lasting solution to the myriad of problems afflicting this country.

When would Tinubu lend his voice on these killer herdsmen

he is part and parcel of this evil government


Oh, I forgot Benue people are not our tribesmen, so that is not an issue

sai buhari !!!

There are Yorubas and then there are Afojas.

Yorubas are omoluabi

Afonjas are traitors

Yorubas will hear you

Afonjas are irredeemable

Why are you calling on Yoruba for Nigeria's problem? If you are really Yoruba, then we are in real trouble. Yes, what's going on is evil and should be condemned by all, but Yoruba are not a nanny. We are all in it together. Benue and the rest of middle belt have governors and reps that are mute and not doing enough to distance themselves from Hausa and Fulani, So what exactly are you asking Yoruba who have obviously spoken more than all other tribes combined on matters that do not concern them in Nigeria to do again? I have never heard anyone say, we all should make a Yoruba president of Nigeria because they are the smartest but when it comes to who can take bullets, you then remember how intelligent Yoruba are.

Like I said just few days back, I'm not expecting much from this guy wtr the Herdsmen issue. The Board of Trustees of Miyetti Allah are Emirs, Sultan and the rest of them. The truth is a lot of Yorubas aren't happy with what is going and they are speaking about it especially on twitter while some zombified Yorubas are playing politics with it or simply unlooking.

This modafoka campaigned on the same day people were killed.

I lost hope in him when I noticed his reluctance to implement CONFAB report. This was as far back as 2015. Regarding 2019, I honestly don't see him losing for 3 reasons

1) He's like a religion in the North. They've got the numbers. It's not about credibility over there, they will blindly vote for him

2) I foresee voter apathy in the SW come 2019. The SE/SS/MB can't do it alone.

3) The incumbency factor

Anyway, for me personally, the best I can do is urge all the people close to me not to vote for him. But what are the alternatives sef?

InfiniteLoopx:

The alternative is to vote for someone that possess the political will to restructure the countr. I see that in Atiku. From restructure, we can then go our seperate ways.

Ihatepork:


Atiku ke. What's the difference between Atiku and Buhari. Aren't they both members of the same fulani establishment? I don't know where this confidence that Atiku will restructure the country is coming from? He's a scam

We solved our own problems, let others do the same.

All THESE men are middle beltters who have profited from WE ARE NORTHERNS.
So when THESE men are alive and not dead, Yoruba should carry their matter for head.
Yoruba Ronu, this is not our battle, we should mind our business.

ODVanguard:


I don't think this is about carrying anybody's matter 'for head', but rather about HUMANITY and having a conscience. Fine, the middlebeltans can solve their own problems themselves but we can't pretend as though we aren't seeing what is clearly happening here. This Fulani herdsmen incidences have increased in occurence all across the country since Buhari assumed power. We hear about the army and dss going after Don Wanny in Rivers but up till today none of these herdsmen have been brought to book and continue to perpetrate their reign of terror with impunity -- are they spirits for goodness sake that they can't be tracked and made to answer for their crimes?? Yet Buhari is acting indifferent about the whole thing.

He once went down to Oyo on behalf of Miyetti Allah in an attempt to intimidate the then (now late) governor Lam over a clash between local farmers and herdsmen that led to several herdmen deaths. He failed in that attempt coz Lam proved he was up to the task by refusing to be cowed. Apparently his attitude and posture so far indicates that he's still a herdsman at heart. We are talking about the president of the entire country here (not president of herdsmen). Only an inhumane person without a conscience would defend Buhari's actions in this regard. That's just the truth and nothing but.

Ihatepork:


Also, we can't even afford to stay out of this because the SW isn't spared in all these attacks. They've killed many people in the SW. It's not just as bad as it is in other regions. We have to talk about it. I don't know why some Yorubas think we are exempted

People that are not okay. Whenever we call out Buhari for his failures, the dummies always interprete it to mean Jonathan was a better option lol. Jona failed woefully, Buhari has broken his record. Someone else needs to replace this failure. Atiku is obviously not the one

Exactly bro! The worst part is that they keep going from one community to another massacring people WITH IMPUNITY! Again I ask, ARE THEY SPIRITS? There's no way in hell they can consistently get away with their atrocities for this long without working in collusion with the security operatives. Have you seen the kind of cuts those sadist inflict on their victims?? Those animals are sick, mehn.

ODVanguard:


Even if Tinubu publicly condemns the herdsmen, they will also ask why Awo's remains are yet to offer a condemnation. Tinubu once did a press release urging and advising the FG to change it's approach towards iPob, but that didn't stop those touts from cursing and calling him names. Yorubas will continue to refuse to be blackmailed by a bunch of faceless iThugs and touts into endorsing Atiku for their own selfish political gains. They can go to hell for all I care.

MasterKim:

as far as Nigeria is concerned, we are still the big brother to any other tribe!
Reason reactions from the likes of tinubu, soyinka, falana and Co are much sorted after. Even more than the likes of those active in this current govt.
How many of your tribesmen can pull that?
