bros, are you talking about the Proudly Yoruba page on facebook? Do you know the bitch behind the page. She is one heck of a Ibo supporter. Bawo lo se mo? Na when I joined facebook o. I liked both Proudly Yoruba page. One was set up for the purpose of getting Yoruba support for GEJ. The other one is owned by someone I believe is a female just by reading her post. Thing is, I noticed the anti-Yoruba male post from her, then came this particular one about tribal marks, I delivered a pro Yoruba comment on why I think tribal marks is a thing of the past, that's when I discovered the so called proudly Yoruba was more of a proudly 'Nigerian Yoruba'. She always talks about her Ibo relatives and bigs up their so called achievement. Then came the Fashola deportation saga with those flatheads. This particular Ibo woman was on proudly Yoruba insulting Yoruba people...I gave it to that bitch, RAW!. Her Ibo brothers didn't come to the rescue at all. As usual, they gave the Ibos the voice and the Yorubas fighting back immediately became evil. Another post she did was trying to group the Yorubas and Ibos together in the typical one love message, so someone asked her if she was Ibo. The guy got more likes, with people replying that they think so. I replied my own and she blocked me. What really pissed me off is, she blocked and then went on a rant about how people should shut up. That's when I knew the owner must be a woman otherwise that is a big ass sissy move. Anyway, I don't patronize her filthy page. There is nothing proudly Yoruba about her. She's only doing it for money and she sucks while at it.

My wife related an interesting experience she had at the Agege area abattoir this morning. According to her while pricing the price of meat with an Hausa seller, during the back and forth price exchanges, a Yoruba 'areaboy' approached the Hausa and asked him to either accept my madam's proposed price or forfeit the meat to her, to which the Hausa retorted that he's ready to recreate another Mile 12 there if the guy tries anything funny. Before my madam knew it about 10 other Yorubas joined them and inquired to know what was the matter, the area boy then related his version and told them about the mallam's threat, this infuriated the Yorubas who asked my madam to take the meat and leave without paying a dime. All the while my madam was pleading with them all not to create a scene as she was no longer interested in the transaction for the sake of peace. But the Yorubas were adamant and insisted that they had a point to prove to the mallam and openly threatened him and his fellow mallams within an earshot that they were prepared to shutdown the abattoir and chase them back to the North. Na so my madam picked race from their midst while pleading that they not escalate the matter. I hear the Yorubas at the Mile 12 ate insisting that for peace to reign the mallam dominated market must be relocated from the vicinity. I hope this signals the start of asserting our rights in our land. I've been depressed since yesterday and I'm seriously trying to shake it off but it's difficult. I feel very ashamed. Ashamed that I'll have to swallow my pride and admit that the ipob poster who told me we were the least ready for a conflict was very right. The Yoruba guys killed Hausa's too but my brothers were more interested in looting the shops of the traders than making any statement. I seriously hope the consciousness is rising. There'll be another episode soon and I hope we'll be ready for it. Not everyone will be saved, which is a good thing on the part of the awakened ones. Yorubas are not prepared at all. I can vouch for our Area boys and elderly olodes, but left to the Elites, it is June 12 all over again. My prayer is we get it right this time.

We have really fallen. SMH What am about to say may sound controversial but fvck it. I have come to appreciate the existence of 'areaboys' and the OPC (even though the latter seem to be presently in a demobilized state) since the police and military are hopelessly undependable in situations like this one. They are the closest things we have to a militia and are the only ones that strike fear in the hearts of our enemies and are still able to intimidate them as they are more battle ready and militant than the rest of us. LOL...There is nothing controversial in your comment o. I've always appreciated the Areaboys. I grew up in Bariga and I witnessed the evolution Area fatherism in Lagos. Those Area boys are omo Ogun. You can tell if the Yorubas got our shit together, those guys will spend their teenage years applying for the Army. During june 12, not one single armed robbery occured in my area, not ONE. The north cut us off electrical power and still we survived. The OPC have fallen but I hope with new leadership and re-branding we can assemble a new frontier in Yoruba defense.

There'll be another episode soon and I hope we'll be ready for it. Brother man, just like you I hope this latest clash will serve as a wakeup call to the Yoruba nation that unless we collectively and aggressively assert ourselves we might as well admit that Lagos is lost to our perennial enemies (namely the igbos and to a lesser extent the Northerners). I was at Mushin almost two weeks ago to buy some furniture fabric and witnessed a pitiful and shameful sight of a group of igbo traders chancing a female Yoruba trader. She was obviously the only Yoruba with a stall in that section of the market, surrounded on all corners by igbo traders. I learned that the altercation was a result of her 'mistake/effrontery' of asking why an igbo trader drew a red marking past the front of her stall. You needed to have seen the way the igbos numbering about 15 - 20 ganged-up against her and were raining abuse on her. It took the timely intervention of some KAI officials to spare her from getting beaten up by the mob. It was a sorry sight, I tell you. I blame Yoruba men for this. It's a collective shame on the men's part. I know for a fact that Yoruba market women have been complaining for decades about Ibo men assault on them, yet our DPO egbons ain't doing shit. It got worse during GEJ's era where those Ibo men employ OPC for protection. Then you have Yoruba customers who are blind with their money. I blame Yoruba men o.

We don't need area boys, we need organized Yoruba neighborhood watch (equipped with guns) who will quickly organize, not to talk to Hausa-Fulani, but to kill them immediately. Any Northerner in the SW is now trespassing. They've worn out their welcome.

Thanks for doing your part, telling the bitch where she itch. Something is seriously wrong with these people. Can they name one Igbo, Hausa or Fulani who carries the same 1Nigeria nonsense on their head as Kemi Omoloshi and that Yoruba facebook owner? Okay I think it's time to ask the real question: Do Yorubas hate themselves or is something mentally wrong with us? Won't world renowned psychiatrists diagnose our self-hatred as psychotic?

I may be sounding bloodthirsty, but I think that it's best to start finding these people and dealing with them, instead of leaving the unsavable to cause mayhem. Make one babalawo use them as sacrifice.

I used to be indifferent about the seriousness of the Yoruba nation's predicament in the fraud that is 'One Nigeria' since my return from America a few years ago. I left Naija to further my education b4 completing secondary level and didn't return till I was in my early thirties. I credit Nairaland for reawakening the Yoruba in me upon observing the deep and irrational hatred the Igbos exhibit toward us Yorubas as a people. I was even more shocked to learn that their hatred predates the last elections -- of particular note was a thread I came across where igbos were taunting and deriding Yoruba leaders who were complaining about marginalization inspite of the region's overwhelming vote in support of GEJ during the 2011 presidential elections. The igbos obviously discounted such massive support by the region as a legitimate basis for the Yorubas' agitation for fairness and equitable representation in Jonathan's government. Such flagrant and open display of consistent and unwarranted attacks at Yorubas, amongst others,convinced me that this ethnic group in particular does not wish us well at all and are in fact hoping and wishing ill upon us as a people. And since then I have assumed and adopted a Yoruba-centric disposition. Our much-touted 'sophistication' has so far worked against us as it has opened us to shameful affronts and ridicle. I am of the honest view that Yorubaland isn't safe from these enemies within for as long as Nigeria subsists. If the current trend persists,Lagos in particular will cease to be a predominantly Yoruba state (if it hasn't already) in the foreseeable future, a development that will give our enemies a commanding and perpetual foothold in our region. This must never be allowed to come to pass.

Lagos state government vows to find solution to Mile 12 crisis
– Lagos state government pleads with residents of Mile 12 to be calm – Preaches need to cohabit in peace irrespective of religion, culture or tribe – Promises to fins lasting solution to the crisis The Lagos State Government on Friday, March 5, met with all the stakeholders from Mile 12 market, Agiliti community, Maidan and its environs with a view to finding a lasting solution to the violence that led to the closure of the market this week. The government also promised to proffer a harmonious and effective solution that would ensure there is no more violence in the area. Secretary to the state government, Tunji Bello, who presided over the meeting held at the state secretariat, Alausa, said that all the leaders agreed on the need to cohabit in peace irrespective of their religion, culture or tribes. Bello urged the leaders to go back and assure their people to maintain the peace, stating that the state government would consider the inputs of all those present in arriving at a decision. Addressing the leaders, including those of the various sections of the Mile 12 market, traditional rulers from Agiliti, Maidan, leaders of the transport unions, commercial motorcyclists, community development associations and leaders from the communities, Bello said leaders also agreed to go back to their communities and assure their people of government’s desire to ensure that lasting peace reigns in that community. The SSG who said the issue of disagreement is not new in the area, noted that what is uppermost is that everybody should see the next person as his brother, hence everyone at the meeting must leave with an open mind of cohabiting peacefully with their neighbours and avoid bloodletting. He reiterated the directive of the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode that the market remains closed and all trading activities be suspended to aid security agencies restore calm to the affected areas. He gave an assurance to the market leaders from Mile 12 that the state government is studying the situation and would address all the issues that have arisen decisively with a view to ensuring that it does not recur again. Speaking at the meeting, assistant commissioner of police, I.O Edgal who stood in for the commissioner of police, Fatai Owoseni also informed that the police high command has secured the Agiliti area and its environs and peace has now returned to the community. He said the clash and resultant loss of lives was very unfortunate and that going by the level of destruction on ground, it was not commensurate with what was reported to have precipitated the clash. Other participants at the meeting including the Iyaloja of Mile 12 market, Alhaja Iyabo Ahmed; Baale of Maidan, Chief Baale Ogunjobi; Baale of Agiliti, Chief Jimoh Onikosi; Serikin Nupe, Alhaji Jibril Magaji; chairman, Shukura yam, Alhaji Mohammed Damdana; chairman of CDA central, Elder M.A Showande and were all resolute in appealing to the state government to ensure that the issue is resolved in record time so that they can go ahead with their various businesses. Only yesterday, reports reaching Naij.com had it that trouble started in Mile 12 area of Lagos state again following Thursday’s inter-tribal clash between Yorubas and Hausas. A resident of the area who called in to express fears, informed that the unrest which claimed about six lives and left policemen injured on Thursday, March 3, has taken a new turn Friday afternoon. But the recent move by the state government may have successfully put an end to the impasse between both tribes. Naij.com
