…or there’ll be more trouble


° Urges monarchs to fulfill traditional obligations

By Isioma Madike and Tosin Makanjuola



“They should move out of the South-West immediately because they don’t have anywhere to stay in the zone. The South-West will not be convenient for them”. Those were the words of the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, while speaking on the recent tragedy, in which 36 cows were killed in Ijare community, Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State.

He added: “We thank God that the Inspector General of Police and the federal government have taken the security of south west more seriously because they understand the economic and political implication of it. So, I think from the IGP response they are not living any stone untouched so the collaboration will start practically maybe next week or in two weeks.
“I spoke with the CP and they said they would not leave any stone untouched because they are more serious about the matter.

They have bought vehicles and machine to start their own arrangement too, so by the time we harmonize the two, definitely the criminals will not have a place to live, and we are serving them notice to leave south west even Nigeria because I know that what we are doing in South West will be a good example for other regions to follow.”

Warning that the sad oc- currence is just a tip of the iceberg and a caution to herdsmen and other livestock shepherds, who are in the habit of straying into farmlands in the South West, the generalissimo of the Yoruba nation said there are bound to be more of such consequences if ‘foreigners’ do not desist from desecrating sacred land. Explaining that the mysterious death of the cows shows that the deities in Yorubaland are still alive to their responsibilities, Iba Adams said it is quite unfortunate that many people had forgotten their tradition.

“Because we have abandoned out traditions, that is one of the reasons we are having the problems we are facing in Yorubaland. During the Oyo Empire, we normally use our deities to conquer wars but it is quite unfortunate that our people did not know the difference between tradition, culture and religion”, he said. Insisting that the recent calamity that befell a cattlerearing group in the agrarian community was as a result of the desecration of a sacred place, Aare Adams argued that thunder and lightning are part of the secret powers of the Yoruba race, and that their efficacies are still very potent.

He also warned communities that refuse to practice their traditional faith and fail to worship their deities that they may not have the same instant reaction as that of Ijare because the divinities in such areas may be slow in reacting to desecrations, owing to their neglect by the people. However, he agreed that such powers are not limited to the Yoruba race, noting that there are many of such places, with such mysterious powers all over the world, giving examples of Brazil, Mexico, and countries in the Caribbean, Africa and elsewhere.

“What happen there was as a result of the sacred place, which must not be touched, unless by the kings of that community and some members of spiritual groups in the community. When the cows passed, the thunder struck and killed the cows.

So, it is part of the secret powers in Yorubaland. “But for communities that do not grease its own, they may not react at the right time. We have many sacred places in Yorubaland that our community leaders and the rulers have abandoned.

In the whole world, God give every human being and each community, the power to react at the right time. “It is not peculiar to Yoruba race only and you have seen different things that happened all over the world. Even the hurricane, they investigated it and said that some were caused spiritually by human beings. A lot has happened in Yorubaland, when you want to write what has happened, Yoruba is enriched and it has been in existence for the past 8500 years.

He further advised Yoruba monarchs and the masses to pursue their tradition beliefs irrespective of the religion they practice so as to forestall problems in the near future, even as he noted that tradition could be used in fighting crime and reduce ills of the society.

“I will just advise our royal fathers and the people that no matter how we practice Christianity and Islam, we should not overlook our tradition. What binds Yorubas together is our tradition; the only respected sector of the Yoruba now is the tradition. If Yoruba stop our tradition, definitely there would be problem. “We will have more recog-nition and more prosperity if we uphold our tradition and cherish it.

We can use tradition to fight crime, if you consult what you have in your community and pray against crime, I can tell you authoritatively that if it is not totally eradicated, it will reduce. “As it is said, Heaven helps those who help themselves. If the deities and their intermediaries are in a Yoruba palace, they will intercede between man and God.

In Christianity, they pray through Jesus Christ to God but in Yoruba tradition, they believe that you pray through the deities to God.

“Since 8500 years ago, they have existed, before the coming of Christianity in 1864 to Yorubaland, so, Yoruba believe that if they have a security threat, they will go through all the deities in the community and report the incident to them. Once the necessary rites are performed, I can assure you that, if not 100 per cent, at least 86 per cent of the situation would be under control”, he noted.

Hahahahaha.. Se Aare don kush Ni?

This man including fani kayode and co are disgrace to Yoruba land

But why is the killings by fulanis relatively stop, or are they waiting for dry season?

I dislike Gani with passion . he's not a yoruba leader.

God is our leader. These modern yoruba obas and leaders has the most biased judgements in the world.

Reading through the content of this news, if everything he said was reported verbatim, then Aare was likely high on something while saying them

Yoruba sef

These brutes must be put where they belong.Nice one but don't later come back to say you were quoted out of context.

Lol this is the only language this people will understand! Abeg who will the police arrest? Lol the gods hahaha. This is to show you the level of incompetence of the current administration! Open grazing the Bleep does that mean?? This people are literally trying to take us back to the dark ages

Good talk Gani but unfortunately, the Fulanis have always seen the Yorubas as their younger brothers and would rather have the Yorubas do their bidding than vice versa. let your govs follow their words with action like their south east counterparts.

Is not Gani or the yoruba Obas you listed above that's the problem. It's yorubas like you who have slave mentality that's the problem. You prefer to be in chains than to look your enemy in the eye and tell them the truth. Such a disgrace.

manmen:


Yes like umahi
Arrest anyone that insult Buhari
Foolish region

You're right

Wonders will never end.
The way people grow balls these days shock me.

Just yesterday, Mama Medinatu's househelp locked her out for coming home late and now Gani Adams is asking Fulani herders to leave Yorubaland.

This utternace of his should be condemned by all well meaning Yoruba leaders before the Northerners misconstrue it as being their stance on the issue.

it’s well

Okay

ancestors are angry

Anyway, check my signature

if u know u know

This Gani Adams is dumb, I actually meant it. I met him once in the olden days when he was used to wearing conductors. I blame the mumus that following/worshipping him. ORDINARY unsuccessful carpenter with low IQ. Mtcheeeeww!

Let the drama begin

Why leave?

We are all Nigerians please. Resolve and diffuse a matter and not escalate it further.

Just watching
