Dear yoruba people, please bear in mind that there are A LOT of people on here with accounts PRETENDING to be yorubas, using yoruba names, sometimes speaking in yoruba, saying 'I am yoruba', and then saying nasty things about yorubas & slandering the entire ethnicity.
When Yetunde was setting up her Ngo Blue Lilly Intiative & going to different parts of the country to clean really DIRTY places, & sensitise people on keeping the environment clean, no words. Now that she has got a political post it's: Nigeria rewards 'liars'. Smh

And they have land to retire to. Having land is so intricately linked to the black African identity. Also why doesn't our history report Africans starving before the white man came? How were Africans surviving for thousands of years without western 'skills'?
I believe they are the original: 'I am yoruba, but'. With an aim to cause division, confusion & to break our spirits. No matter how convincing they may appear, they aren't yorubas. Pls ignore & do not engage these accounts.
If you engage this tweet, pls no insults on any tribe.

Zimbabwe was under sanctions, let that sink in. The whole point of sanctions is to cripple the economy. .. land redistribution doesn't cripple the economy. There are many farmers on the continent that don't have advanced farming skills. Yet they make a living off farming.
On Saturday/ Sunday, I got a bad premonition about the election. I would try to say " by God's grace, Peter Obi will win the election", but when my mouth got to Peter Obi, another name would try to come out (yes, it's the name you think). 1/

I want to give you some advice: when your kids (and wife) make mistakes, don't shout, don't shout at them or even show anger. But tell them why what they did was wrong very calmly and have them explain back to you why it was wrong.

It is the Obi effect. However, this is very worrying because I wonder how many of these LP candidates are actually for the people and not just opportunists riding on the Obi effect. How many of them did the work? Do they know the needs of the people? Banky W did the work.

This lady, a speaker, is facing the audience, Yetunde, an audience member who spoke, was facing the front. Also notice she said UN, but it looks like it it was under l the IOM, international organisation for migration, a branch of the UN.
The Southern front porch is as American as mom, the flag, and apple pie—right? Not quite, according to the late John Michael Vlach, PhD, an anthropologist and historian, who maintained that this architectural mainstay was brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans.

They think because historically Jewish people faced oppression, therefore black people (who still face oppression) will give Israel a pass for being a brutal oppressor of Palestinians.

That's actually not true. In 2015 when a black officer killed a black man They also protested. They are protesting police brutality not white on black crime. To whom much is given, much more will be expected.

2. Command all votes cast for Peter Obi will be valid and count

Now my hope is stronger, because I'm no longer trusting in Peter Obi to win, I'm trusting in God to give him the victory, to have mercy on Nigeria.
But we can still do our part by voting and by taking our authority in prayer and we can command that: 18/

This is why when I see Nigerians mocking black Americans of playing the victim, I shake my head. I have a friend who avoids certain things because of the overt racism they experienced.
The covert one is also bad, you don't know if you're imagining it or if it is real.
So I'm writing this to you, to encourage you. It's not over. Don't give up hope just because of a dream, prophecy & premonition. They can all change. Ask God for mercy for Nigeria. We have SUFFERED! No more suffering, ask God for mercy for Nigeria. 17/

The whole notion of abolishing state of origin comes from a selfish (sorry, no insult), myopic view of things. One is only looking at how it will benefit them, not how it can MASSIVELY disadvantage them and how it has been disadvantaging the middle belt and minority tribes.
- Abolish state of origin.
- The president should have equal distribution of tribes in his cabinet.
- The president should deal with any tribe that dangerously promote their supremacy.
- The president should speak multiple languages. Not only during campaigns.

I used to do sth similar even before Tinubu. When someone mentioned that they visited Nigeria, I would put a self depreciating smile and say sth like : it wasn’t great right?" I later saw that it just led to low self-esteem and it doesn’t help you in the eyes of employers.

Asking some obidients how you were an ethnic bigot was even labelled ethnic bigotry.

True, they didn't do the work. They put in their candidacy last minute, now how will they truly represent the people of their constituency? You can't tell me they really care about them otherwise they would have prepared beforehand. Now those who did the work lost.
The biggest winners of this election are LP candidates running for Senate and rep positions
They didn't spend much on campaigns,didn't have to debate their ideas or present a manifesto
They are mostly beneficiaries of "LP top to bottom" voters who didn't even know them at all😁

The job is an assistant meaning she will be running errands.

From the get go, obidients attacked yorubas. Femi& Seun Kuti, Joke Silva, Toyin Abraham, Paul Adefarasin. Any yoruba person that didn't bow at the feet of PO or the Obidients were cursed and piled on. People from other tribes who didn’t bow did not receive the same vitriol.

You write very well and in a clear and concise manner. It was very refreshing to read a thread that used words in an academic manner yet still easy to understand. You strung words together in an articulate and melodic manner. You should consider writing books.
I think the real problem here is that you thought that yorubas were superior. You thought everyone of us was perfect, and now that you have seen some imperfections, it has put a dent on your ideology.
'The envy of other tribes', you say.
You are not more Yoruba than I am in any way.
I was born in Ile-Ife. I grew up there & in Osun state. I’m by clan an Oyo man.

Tell the whole truth. A few days before Israel had killed around a 100 Palestinians, 2 dozen of them being children, during protests & then Israeli settlers kidnapped, tore out the eyes, shot dead & burnt a Palestinian father of 5.
I think the problem is ignorance of how things work there, mob mentality, and an unwillingness to asking questions if confused. It reminds me of the Achraf Hakimi divorce story. People were writing think pieces about it. But there were no verifiable links to prove the story true.
I remembered how Balam tried to curse the Israelites, but blessings came out of his mouth. My spirit began to lift. I remembered that against all hope Abraham believed in hope believed. Then I came across this prophecy by Bishop Femi

Once again, the same thing: deflecting, no accountability. Were we talking about Palestinians? No, the post was about Israelis. And you have now answered with a deflection a statement about how zionists like to deflect.
It was the going after and cursing of Joke Silva during the election that first made me do a double take on Obidients, esp since people knew that her husband had some health challenges.
As Yoruba people no gree faint because of poverty again, it’s time to go after yet another popular, legendary Yoruba couple. Especially an innocent man who didn’t even vote in the last elections.
Joke Silva and Pa Olu Jacobs will be fine, worry less about them.

She probably isn't yoruba. There are like hundreds of these accounts, I am not joking, hundreds! Some well known Obidients, masquerading as yorubas, some of them since 2019. They project how they were raised to view yorubas on yorubas.
Yoruba parents don't do stuff like this.
