@chinechere52831 @SaharaReporters We are the ones enabling them. Instead of.young Nigerians to rally around a new, you g and fresh candidate of their choosing, they are recycling the same old bastards who brought us here.

@SaharaReporters Internal democracy in Nigerian parties keeps taking a hit. When congresses are overshadowed by takeover allegations, it shows the system is broken.

Every lazy stereotype against Yorùbá women collapses under the tiniest bit of critical thinking.
"Dark skinned." We're in Nigeria. Majority of Nigerian women are dark skinned. That's geography, not ethnicity.
"Dirty." No Yorùbá state tops any sanitation or hygiene survey. The states that do have women too. Nobody stereotypes them as dirty.
"Lazy." Yorùbá women have been the backbone of Yorùbáland's economy for centuries. For example, they created Ówànbẹ̀ culture. The elaborate Nigerian wedding everyone now copies? That's Yorùbá women. Fashion, event planning, catering, decor, logistics. Entire industries across Africa exist because other cultures adopted what Yorùbá women built.
"Too fine to be Yorùbá." Meanwhile Yorùbá women dominate Nigeria's international modeling, music, and entertainment. They are the face of Nollywood and Afrobeats, Nigeria's biggest cultural export.
None of this is grounded in data, history, or reality. So what's the motive? The goal is to make Yorùbá women seem undesirable so Yorùbá men seek spouses elsewhere. Marriage has always been a tool of conquest. It is how you access a people's commonwealth and plant yourself inside a culture you could not build (I could write a whole article on this). That is why the attacks are unprovoked. Yorùbá women did nothing. They simply occupy a position others want.

Good morning everyone.
Very late yesterday I was tagged in screenshots of some tweets made by a senior executive at @Risevest around 2013 and earlier that give us very serious concerns. To avoid a knee jerk response, I forward same to our leadership team immediately I received them and this morning we have initiated an internal review and have convened a meeting with our whole team to handle this with the seriousness it requires.
To be clear, Risevest was started by myself, Bosun Olanrewaju and Tony as a company that is a home to everyone who wants to do great work, with respect and love for every group of people.
While these comments are from years before we even conceived of the company, they are not casual and they are too serious to be dismissed as "shitposting". They most definitely do not reflect the values of our company and so far we have not seen any evidence that this reflects the character or actual actions of the executive in question.
However, we want to assure everyone offended by it that we fully understand why anyone would be offended by such statements and have commenced an internal review of the executive's work and conduct to determine the right course of action.
As many of you have witnessed over the years, when any matters like these are in concern, we handle it firmly, thoroughly and without favoritism no matter who is involved at any level. We thank everyone who has raised this concern and ask that we be given time to ensure this matter is handled well not only for the sake of those who have raised the issue but also for the sake of our team members, stakeholders and every other person who such comments have offended.
Thank you
Regards,
Eke Eleanya Urum
CEO, Risevest.

Is the opposition protest against Tinubu’s anti democratic acts and attempt to foist a one party state on Nigeria over already or it’s just starting?

@MrEnugu1 Nobody rigged in the SouthEast in 2023 except LP. The results for Obi and the evidences of form R8 showed clearly that the rigging there was second to none.

@ProfessorMaven @_Lalarh If you like, no defend your heritage, na you wahala be dat. It is what you hand over cheaply to others to banter about and denigrated that you will shape the perception of those who will come to see it later
English
@_Lalarh They searched "Yoruba" and saw what they saw. I checked other tribes (Igbo, bini) from that account and saw insults there too...because around that time we used to do #TribalWars on Twtter for fun
English
When would you people stop bring up tweets from this era. We were all (trying to be) edgelords (to varying degrees)

Yoruba women have faced enough bigotry on this app to last generations. God will punish anyone who ever tries to gaslight us again. This is someone who claims to be a feminist and against bigotry.
English
@HAHayatu Ashierey. You no do zangazanga to stop bandits and terrorists, you no do zangazanga to call out lack of affirmative action for out-of-school children, it's for political power. You be Old fool!
English
The easiest way to force the FG to stop the gagging of ADC is start massive zangazanga across northern Nigeria.
Attention of the world will shift to Nigeria and there shall be pressure.
If you keep doing those mini protest the kind Sowore does no one will feel threatened.
English
@Chindaah I also do the same. We will thrive on the basis of our similarities and shared goals, and we will learn to respect our differences. I won't shed my Yorubanness for a Nigerian identity that is not defined
English
@Chindaah That's why we are failing in this country - trying to erase our cultural identity to embrace an undefined Nigerian identity.
Learn from China, Japan and India.
I am proudly Yoruba, a citizen of Nigeria. I expect an Igbo and Hausa Nigerian to respect my tribe and culture while

@AdeJesuRe @kj_Janus Belgium is a good case study - primarily divided along linguistic and regional lines of the Dutch-speaking 58% Flemish northern half and the 42% French-speaking Walloon in the southern half
English
@kj_Janus Agreed - But I add that multi-ethnic and multicultural are functionally synonyms, because each ethnicity has their own culture and homeland.
Consquetntly, neither multi-ethnic nor multicultural societies can work, without the proper structure for autonomy of homogeneous regions.
English
This means that multi-ethnic / multi-cultural countries sharing politics are doomed, unless the governance/politics are structured to have autonomous governments based on regional homogeneity, whether Ethno-Lingustic or Ethno-Religious.⬇️

If you surrender culturally, you lose politically. They're intertwined.

“Are you more Yoruba than other Yorubas”?
Coming from a Yoruba woman because someone is trying to stop film actors and skit makers from portraying the “Yoruba women are dirty” stereotype.
Shame on you! Is it until you give birth to little girls and they’re scared to identify as Yoruba you’ll know your cowardice added to the problem?
You can’t fight for what’s right and you won’t leave people that are fighting these stereotypes to do their thing.
Keep forming woke so you can be considered “a good person”

@Innomajava @Arewa_Source See as your face squeeze like burnt bread. You know Northerners today, by tomorrow you won't know them again, they'll be back as the cows your folks labelled them
English
@Arewa_Source I didn't think he's a genuine Northerner. Northerners that I know would never do this. There has never been one. If you search his origin, you could be shocked he might be from the same tribe with them just like Abure and Lamidi. Where is Abure today? Where is Lamidi today?

Nafiu Bala is officially an enemy of the North.
Betraying the struggle to topple a Government that has allowed insecurity to takeover your region, arrested El Rufai while still Mourning his Mother and shown zero regards for Northerners.
You will regret this action.

@myk_da_preacher Your own Apostle get k-leg. You are clearly ill-informed, badly miseducated and still not ready to learn.

One thing you must understand is that, The Nigerian state is sore afraid of the Igbo land. The one region they will never tolerate anything is the Southeast.
What they saw and experienced in the civil war still baffles them till today.
A region with no military might except resilience and self-determination withstood the Nigerian military might for 3 years, producing their own local weapons and fuel to fight with ordinary civilians.
If not for the hunger and starvation as a result of cutting off of food supply by the Nigerian government to the South East, the Nigerian military wouldn't have prevailed.
This is why they are always deploying the whole of their might and strength to the southeast even if every other part of Nigeria is burning they are more conscious of the southeast.
You all saw what the Satanic Buhari did with his operation python dance,I &II. He couldn't have done that anywhere else, except in SE.
How can we be experiencing the worst of insecurity in the North East North Central and the middle belt of Nigeria with little or no military help but you're focus is on ipob and ESN.
Fulani Jihadist militias are massacring Christians on daily basis, in Plateau, Kaduna, Nassarawa, Benue, Taraba etc, but is it ESN that is Nigerian Army problem.
Such misplaced priority birthed by fear of the Igbos.

@drkenon2 @HQNigerianArmy Until the smartest of you become your mouthpiece, you'll continue to come across as a foolish bunch. Imagine you all parroting and peddling the ill-informed tirade of a badly miseducated troll like Vivian Ifeoma.
English
“@HQNigerianArmy, Southeast is the safest region in Nigeria. Focus on the north & west where the Isl@mic extremists are massacring Christians daily. Why is Nigerian army always flexing their muscles in the SE whereas their military bases in the north are constantly being attacked by Boko Haram & ISWAP?”
~Vivian Ifeoma asks Nigerian Army why they want to conduct Operation Sweeping Action in the SE, the most peaceful part of Nigeria?

@JMCP2323 @KamalaHarris Little wonder the average American IQ is 18. Too much Dumbos who can't see beyond their nose or view issues from lenses other than their own.

@KamalaHarris BS! This is why THANK GOD you are NOT President! You wanted sane type of control over America! The Iranian ppl want the IRGC gone & rather die than live oppressed anymore! Just watch as they cheer on the bombing! You’re still a dumbass!

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.
English
Every time you open your mouth or tweet, I am reminded to be grateful that you are not the president.
It's disgusting to me that your hatred for Trump leads you to cheerlead against America.
This war is both just and necessary. Biden and Obama, with your support, are the reason it's necessary.
