I can feel the hatred and violence from Alhassan's voice, watch out for such humans who will want to condemn other people to justify their wrongs. Amotekun is a very good move.
What an eye opener this interview has been for those of us who have a third eye and understand some elements of human psychology. Congratulations to My learned brother Mr Olasupo who was civil and held his nerve despite some provocative statements. He stood his grounds and made his point. I have not called him my brother because I am a Yoruba man . Far from it. I am not Yoruba. I have referred to him as such because of the abilities he has displayed, the selflessness to his people and passion to the wellbeing of his people he has displayed. It is commendable. I can therefore extrapolate that this initiative AMOTEKUN means well to not only the YORUBAS but also by proxy to any NIGERIAN living and doing business in the SOUTH WEST WHICH INCLUDES THOSE MR ALHASSAN IS CLAIMING TO WISH TO PROTECT FROM HIS ASSERTION. Now to you Mr. ALHASSAN, I am sorry to say as a neutral observer, that you were not civil. It would appear that you had fixed views and beliefs which were to me tending towards becoming delusional. You could not substantiate most of your claims. There are similar initiatives in NORTHERN NIGERIA like the HISBAH, which though you could argue now have legislative backing by the state government but at the time they commenced operations where no different from AMOTEKUN IS CURRENTLY. Note that despite the fact that NIGERIA BY CONSTITUTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECULAR STATE, civilised Nigerians from the south and Christians from the North ignored the setting and implementation of SHARIA in as many as 12 states in a so called secular NIGERIA. Today the SHARIA POLICE CARRY OUT THEIR ACTIVITIES FREELY IMPOSING THEIR BELIEF ON EVEN CHRISTIANS WHO LIVE IN THE NORTH AND DO NOT SHARE THESE BALUES THAT HAVE BEEN IMPOSED ON THEM. YOUR fellow Nigerians have remained tolerant and civil, perhaps because they believe that peace should rain. Now Mr ALHASSAN, can you explain what offence it is for the governors of a nation like the YORUBAS to identify a problem, articulate a solution and implement it. Rather than your group to give them a huge pat of encouragement, what you have resorted to is cheap propaganda. Do you think the security that AMOTEKUN would provide would be exclusive to the YORUBAS? Don’t you know that the same people you are claiming to protect, the HERDERS WHO DO BUSINESS IN YORUBA LAND would be better off in a more secure and safe environment? What exactly are your fears? I do not comprehend them. Are you not aware of the security threats and challenges that various parts of the country have faced over the last many months to years even leading to the untimely death of Pa Reuben Fasoranti’s daughter that was believed to have been murdered by the herdsmen that you speak for? I just mentioned this case but It does not make others who have suffered in the hands of the herdsmen any less than Pa Fasoranti’s daughter. Mr. ALHASSAN, left me stress and I am sure I speak the mind of majority in the SOUTH WEST AND INDEED PEACE LOVING NIGERIANS, that unless you are telling us that you are concerned that the activities of your HERDSMEN borders on insecurity to their host communities, I do not see a rational reason for you to be concerned for these herders. IF INFACT THEY ARE THE SOURCE OF THESE INSECURITIES WHICH WE ALL BELIEVE, THEN THAT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY EXPLAIN YOUR TREPIDATION. IF SO, IT LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED AND JUSTIFIES THE PEOPLES FEARS. You are not oblivious of the fact that despite all the heinous killings and other atrocities, the FEDERAL POLICE have made very infinitesimal arrests and prosecutions and you still expect the public to have confidence in them? Finally, Mr ALHASSAN, AMOTEKUN IS A CLARION CALL from the whole of NIGERIANS FOR SECURITY. BSS (BIAFRA SECURITY SERVICE) was the first response to that and you guys clamped down on it. If that had not happened, most of those that are dead today would have still been alive .other regions would have emulated them. We all therefore see AMOTEKUN as a second chance to achieve some respite by way of security. Any person or group that wishes to constitute themselves a nuisance shall be discarded into the trash can. AMOTEKUN IS THE DESIRE OF THE PEOPLE AND WOULD STAND. PLEASE GET USED TO THE IDEA BECAUSE IT IS HERE TO STAY.Stop being PARANOID. I hope it’s operations is not an antidote to an agenda which you know that we don’t. Could that be why you and your likes are opposed to this NOVEL INITIATIVE? Food for thought eh!
James Francis, well said but you are watering the grass with champagne. These people are 8th century throw backs, they know nothing about civility and cordiality. They only make sense to themselves and to nobody else, do they care? Of cause not.
this is a lecture series. i think it is a waste of time throwing up your comment on platform such as this. i do think you ought otherwise to develop yourself through gathering the right professional papers and joining the right civil society organisations and speak to the nation and be listened to. lecture in a university, train people etc. here you speak few listen and you earn nothing from it. think about it.
The tragedy of Nigeria is what brings a lawyer and intellectual to the conversation table with a herds man. Thank you for being a vibrant representation Mr Ojo
Tobi Ade you are a complete idiot. What is wrong with that. Is the lawyer superhuman. The herdsman might be able to feed is whole generation. Reason why we are not developing. Grammar over everything.
@@powersystem6856..You did not agree with what one said so that made him an ' idiot ' ? Can you see how ignorant you are ? May be the herders feed you like you insinuated that man could feed the whole nation, but unfortunately he feeds no one right ? Why are they worried of the Amotekun and not boko haram ? There is no problem with Nasarawa state having their own police but the federal govt has a problem with yorubas introducing their own and the so called Mr Alhassan termed it " not democratic " all because of their evil agenda against the south. And to you his opinion sounded alright, right ? And let's forget about who is who whether educated or not on that panel, the fulani or miyetti allah guy never made any reasonable sense in his arguement that will resonate with any right thinking person period. Let's be true and honest to ourselves and leave tribe, religion and bias out of this. It is what it is please.
This lawyer is a disappointment! And that’s why law in Nigeria is still a Joke! As a lawyer I thought he’ll sound more educated and civil but instead he let the northern guy get to him (by the way with just a few words) and he completely went off point, and started responding to the northerner in an agitated manner instead of sticking to point/topic...he got derailed so easily!!! As a lawyer he should have stayed calm and respond intelligently. If that man is a lawyer then his clients have extremely low chances of winning any case. He is very weak!
Barr. Olasupo Ojo, in case you may find time to read comments, please accept my profound commendation. You have made us proud. You have shown to the world that we are civil. You have proven that we have brains. Thank you for making your points known without having to insult and debase the Fulani imbecile. I kept watching your submission over and over again. May God bless you. Amen.
I'm yet to understand why people think they can carry their herding on your land without your permission; as if the place in question is no man's land.
Only a thief would be afraid when his neighbor decides to raise his fence and put electric wire all round. I don't see any igbo or ijaw or edo or urhobo complaining about amotekun 😂 😂 😂 😂. What the fvck are they scared of really? I thought only them have monopoly of violence. Any attempt to declare amotekun illegal would only make the OPC return violently this time around so choose wisely. Amotekun or OPC
What do you as a person expect from northerners before, did you southerners in the first place expected them to join you people to praise any of your initiatives to higher heaven, no no no.
I must confess, this is the first time I have heard wonderful questions from Channels presenters in a very long time. Kudos! For the Yoruba man in the studio, your Papa and Mama born you well!!!
Yeah. They only ask good questions and let the guest answer when it directly or expressly pertains to Yoruba affairs. I'm sorry, my experience listening to Channels TV has been so infuriating that I've come to despise them on sight. Their bias is so obvious. They are a media channel that nigerian people depend for authentic news but they disrupt when the truth is being told; and when they can't, they go for their "short break" tool of the trade. Cowards!!!
How the British joined the north and south in 1914 still baffles me!!!! Kai imagine a herdsman belittling the Yourba race and calling them primitive!!!!! Ewo.
Now they (British) are having a taste of their medicine. Muslim extremists are taking over their daily lives gradually and I hope they regret what they did
It's cos of british hypocrisy act running in their blood stream, the colonial perpetrators knows how wise the yorubas and the rest southerners are and that's the reason sadaona was their favourite to rule the country as the 1st head of state. Do you hear anything from london bbc tv station? No, why cos they intend to sell their ammunition to the northerners Nigeria if there is civil war as they planned during the annulment of june 12 election after the most peaceful democratic election .
Ada nwanne m nwanyi. It is ppl like tinubu that brought about this nightmare to Nigeria. I wish the yorubas well but we igbos must be more concerned about our own safety n welfare. These same Yorubas will be the first to back the northerners when tinz get serious
My take on this is this, if the Mr Alhassan says it's a yoruba militia OPC disguised as amotekun citing a history of violence towards the igbos in the past election why then are the igbos not opposed to Amotekun. The reason is simple, only a thief has cos to worry when you get a new security guard
I think we should first divide this Nigeria into Northern and Southern then maybe Oduduwa and Biafra later. You may not believe it, but the northerners are the problem of Nigeria.
I am an igbo man but totally in support of amotekum fulani should go to hail, how many are fulani in yoroba land that will deside or dictate for them on how to govern them selfs
Unfortunately, history suggests that the Yoruba will turn against the Igbo using the same Amotekun. Let us examine the history. Only twice in history have the Fulani-led cabal taken their killing machine to the SW (after Awo's imprisonment; and after June 12). Twice the Igbo led an effective resistance in aid of the Yorubas. After Awo's imprisonment the cabal killed thousands of IPOB-like Yorubas who rioted in protest in several Yoruba cities in 1963. Incidentally the killing was overseen by the platoon leader of the 2nd infantry brigade, Abeokuta, a certain MUHAMMADU BUHARI. As a reward for dealing with Yorubas, that same 1963, Buhari was given a double promotion on the same day by the Balewa regime. The Nzeogwu coup was mainly a reaction to the Sardauna's castration of Western Region (declaring a state of emergency, rigging out and imprisoning Awo). Before you argue this fact please read the books 'Nzeogwu' by Obasanjo and 'Why We Struck' by Major Ademoyega. The Nzeogwu coup was staged to free Awo and make him Prime Minister. It was this same coup carried out for Awo's sake that eventually led to the civil war. And Awo whom the coupists were rooting for became the arrow-head of the death of three million Igbos. After the June 12 election was annulled, the cabal again killed rioting Yoruba masses. Many of the Yoruba leaders escaped abroad to avoid being killed. NADECO was formed to challenge the cabal. An Igbo - Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu - became the Chairman of NADECO Nigeria; another Igbo - Chief Ralph Obioha led NADECO-USA (It was Obioha that accommodated and took personal care of MKO’s daughters in USA); another Igbo - Chief Raph Uwechue - who later became the President of Ohaneze - was the chairman of NADECO-UK; yet another Igbo - Emma Ezeazu led NADECO Youth wing. Remember that NADECO was the Yoruba equivalent of IPOB or MASSOB! Twice in history the Fulani-led cabal have taken their killing machine to the SE - after the declaration of Biafra in 1967 and after IPOB declared "No Referendum; no Election" in 2017. Twice most Yoruba either joined or cheered on the Fulani-led cabal to "finish off" the Igbo. It is sad.
I’m not given to insulting people. This herdsman is not a human being at all. He is never truthful but deluding himself. Boko haram is not a treat to the nation, Fulani herdsmen don’t pose a treat to the nation or even the hisbah security group. Everything in Nigeria is lopsided. No truth. Look at Imo State. How can Ruga compliant Governor, have really been voted for, by Imolites? Evil at work from everywhere. These uncircumcised philistines are not to be allowed to perpetrate their hatched evil against the Southerners.
@@annefranciselizabeth3840 Exactly I'm just looking at the yorubas with both eyes open. Until they get oduduwa republic and we Biafra they are the same people they have always been
AMOTEKUN has truly brought to light the truth. Mr. Olasupo Ojo, thank you for lashing and technically telling Miyetti Allah Alhassan that he is an uneducated fool and also, an illiterate.
This is to prove to the Yorubas that Igbos are not their enemy. No Igbo man and other man has complained of this initiatives to save lives except the North.
@@akinolasamuel1930 God bless you and your family !! I am from Edo state however we know that the day the Igbos and the Yorubas work together is the end of f00lani Islamisation agenda !! It's not by force to be in the same union with illiterate killers !!
@@johnsoneke1710 Thanks. I remember vividly during the quit notice era. This same Northerners said there're not afraid if Nigeria divide or break up. Now Why're they afraid? Nonsense.
@Inusa Nuhu so why are you screaming everywhere ? Why asking govt to disband them ?Are you the only tribe in Nigeria ? You people are full of evils ..you should mind the killings in your region that you should be your concerns not people who are trying to defend themselves from the evils you are bringing to their land of peace ..eleribu
Can someone tell me why the Fulani men developing cold feet when they hear about Amotekun? Now the the Yorubas are waking up. If any sensible person watches this interview, he/she would deduce the difference between light and darkness
I laff tire when I hear Yoruba are waking up. Yorubas are great tacticians, master planner and it takes time to plan and achieve. You dont go to war unprepared.
@@tincaisland1374 thank you and if you noticed its only the igbo are saying yoruba has woke up they that have woken up what have they achieved the fulani dont even fear them. But when yoruba act the north shakes and that is what you are seeing yoruba might be quiet but don't think they don't know what is going on.
where is the intelligency when an engineer can spoke well in english than a lawyer hahaha,we will not forget a fulani man who is given the golden voice of africa Tafawa Balewa Abubakar
This man has been very consistent with his typical Fulani behaviour, full of hate and vile. look at the way he talks, no regard or respect whatsoever for the Yoruba kins and clan. it shows you how much they've been empowered, Southern Nigeria, wake up!
Olisa Nwizu it's that Herd of State Buhari that empowered these nitwits....its a pity we share the same country with such brain dead, power drunk murderers from the North
Barr. Ojo, you're the son of your father. GOD bless you. You represented your self, father, profession, Ethnic region and Nigeria very well. "A person his bid welcome by his appearance and bid farewell by his speech" I can truly call you a learned fellow. .
There are over 15millions people of igbo origin living in SW part of Nigeria not 1 of them is against Amotekun, Urhobo man is not complaining, itsekiri man is not complaining, Hausa man is not complaining, ijawman is fine with Amotekun. The only people complaining are these Fulani/fulani herdmen and it's funny Buhari is not talking about it..
what are the fulanis really afraid of?, its only a thief that gets angry when the people decide to take security serious, i am from the Niger Delta, and i totally support this initiative of the south west people, we eagerly awaiting the south east and south south to follow suit, enough of the senseless killings of innocent people.
Saleh Alhassan’s illiteracy and reckless judgement is symbolic of the Hausa/Fulani lack of foresight and irrational pursuit to ransack others. Does this fool even think it’s right for the herders to invade the bushes in the south in the first place, what this cow refer to as bushes are people’s farmlands and means of livelihood, himself and his cows should be in ranches and not on the farm lands in the south. If Fulani herdsmen are engaged in criminal activities it is high time they check their excesses if they are not then they do not need to panic. The northern wolves may huff and puff all they want but the southerners will defend themselves against these blood thirsty monsters at all cost If it costs Nigeria her unity so be it!
Kenneth Obikwelu you are right but we’ve got to agree that both west and east are under threat here we’ve got to burry our differences if at all there is any and stand up for a common cause
For once in a very long time, the yorubas are standing up to the hausas. The hausas feel they own Nigeria and that's why 99% of government parastatals are controlled and headed by the Hausas. It's quite unfortunate that Nigeria is under the rule of the Hausas that are the least educated and civilised region in Nigeria.
Channel tv please always call educated people to your program. Northerners is the problem of this country.we should divide this country so that every region will defend their country this is my stand.
Are we going to be consulting herdsmen in this country before we can do anything in our part of the country, people prefer cows to human life. Just imagine this one calling elected governors irredentist??? What an insult.
Please we need to forgive that cow man he doesn't understand the meaning of what he is saying. They don't speak human languages they speak with cow's and for cow's.
stop saying northern Nigeria. say Hausa / Fulani. there are so many other tribes in the north. we are not against amotekun. I wish we can set up ours here too
Mazi nnamdi kanu have told you people the agenders of fulanis over the country if they don't have bad agenders why are they so afraid of people to secure their land this fulani Man has nothing to say pls yurubas should ingor them if is war they need they will see the war
The best question they should have asked this man is, why is it that it's only his association and tribe that is crying over the creation of Amotekun??? Cos I really don't understand what he was spitting there. At least thank God that the Channels team acted professionally this time around cos security is a responsibility of all and sundry be it poor or rich its negative impact will surely get to you sooner or later if it is not attended to... Yoruba should now understand where they stand now in their partnership with our so called brothers...
What do you expect my brother, you should expect more intelligent and educative explanations from a well learned elite like Mr Ojo nau, BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR MY OJO .👏👏👏👍👍👍
Gbogbo yin tebati like amotekun olorun abinu siyin amotekun is for security in nigeria all ur children they are not in nigeria we are afraid to come to nigeria bks there is no good security like america here pls
Have tired of this talk talk ,there's solution to this issue, let divide ,or na by force to stay together ,we are not the same ,our mentality its different ,
@Inusa Nuhu aboki is Nigeria breaks up tomorrow... the northen part will be like Sudan chad or somalia.... and we from the south will build a huge wall to keep you guys out of our land... you guys can continue bombing and eating your self... useless regions with unfertilized land .
Thank you for your brilliant reasoning but tell your fellow Yoruba cus when we the Biafrans said we want to go our separate ways some of people were saying and calling us names now see how this Demons called Funanis terrorists trying to eliminate the Yorubas and Biafrans I think people are now getting wise.
The solution lies in our hands Biafra and Ofuduwa can be good close Countries and the both countries can then place a ban on Funanis migrants into the both countries for we can focus on developing our country
@@tunjiakintonde9569 Brother this is what nnamdi kanu is saying since, but thank God our southwest leader's have wake up, because this nomadic people have taken everyone on granted, bro let me tell you tiunbu is the problem that south west have because he have sale his integrity to northerners and he will neglect it but not now
I dont know why this pple are disturbing SW from securing there territory which means they are the mastermind behind this senseless killing and kidnapping, how long SW will allow northerners to rule SW? Pls let's split the country mehn. We dont have the same mentality and different culture plz se tipatipa ni. Is it by force a beg.
This just shows you how divided Nigeria is! Imagine a Public Office Holder, saying that Yorubas are primitive in politics; even though the history books have many Yorubas who have given their lives (such as Cornel Adekunle Fajuyi) to ensure that the country stays as one. To reduce crime in the South-West, Amotekun is HERE to STAY!
Nigerians continue to remain in bondage and control of Northern Nigerians as long as your military dictated constitution is concerned, because this constitution they always capitalized on was fundamentally and rapaciously made by the past Northern Nigeria military leaders to suit them
The yeye Constitution was the brain child of Col. Aguiyi Ironsi. After he overthrew and disrupted the regional system of government, he set up his government with the unitary Constitution but he failed to consolidate power which led to his demise. The northerners initially kicked against the new unitary Constitution until they learned how to use it to their own advantage. Now they love it and will not trade it for anything else no matter what.
Igbos try not to put mouth in Yoruba matter. They never sided the Igbos for once. So don’t be stupid. I know you do this because of the separation u are fighting for but pls desist from their matter. Let them fight their own fight. 3 million Biafrans killed will never be forgotten. Someone needs to pay back for this evil committed.
The hausas re all cows. I was a soldier and today I stand with the yorubas. The General have decided to use the lives of the Nigerian as a game of fun. Amotekun must stay. Infact let every state in Nigeria have a full right to establish its military, police and the likes. I'm an igbo man and I am in full support of my yoruba brodas.
In fact, the man has proved the purity of law and I like his civil attitude towards the conservation, he chooses his words in a very civil way and quoted the law in a way audience will understand. Like he rightly said miyetti Allah is an organisation of business entity not a nation, hence the government fails to protect its citizens, the locals will find a way to protect themselves and their properties and the right thing has been done.I must commend the presenters on their handling. An ethic of journalism was proven. Kudos to you guys.
Tinubu his one of the betrayal for the Yoruba people it is very clear now, yoruba must get rid of the betrayal ones first and then tackle the enemy outside, if there is no enemy within the enemy outside can do us no harm...
It is very unfortunate that this uncultured man representing Miyetti Allah would open his mouth to call our governors in SW names. I like the way the Learned Yoruba gentleman scolded him and gave him a lecture on how to speak in public. The Yoruba man did not call him an animal, but if the Miyetti man has inner ears, he would know that he actually told him to his face that he was an animal, a man who had no respect for the governors neither the office they each occupy. This is the same man who wants to go on rampage in our forest. If our governors mean nobody to you, it is unimaginable what you would do to the followers
Oh my my Jesus hear this hausa fool ooh are you serious???? That you are scared of Amotekun???? Are you afraid of death???? So all the killings you guy have been killing is not evil???? God punish you 7 times. Jeeeeeeeesus
Just hear a primitive person calling the educated yorubas primitive, forgetting that their entire generations live in the bush. We yorubas dont live in the bush and women always wear clothes but their women dont wear clothes.
I’m hausa and muslem by religion but to the bottom of my heart this meyetti Allah leader is a disgrace to his group because he lack manners to address issues as it suppose to be and that makes him a bad leader. On the other hand I’m not against Amatekum but my concern is let them not politicized the movement.Hope God will help them to do it in a right way amen . May God help them all 🙏🙏🙏
Those who are in support for peace must effectively pursue it like those who are aggressively pursuing chaos. Amotekun most be vigorously and desperately pursue by the Yoruba to protect everyone who reside on their land,Yoruba and non Yoruba. Protecting your ancestral land is sacrosanct. No development comes to those who seek chaos but those in peace. In fact,Middle belts need Amotekun as soon as possible or else our ancestral is hijacked and our land become lawless.
AMOTEKUN: The mistake you made was making noise about it. Action speaks louder than words. Thousands of rural people are being killed, raped and kidnapped, no one has cared. Simply defend them, get on with your aim. Forget about informing biased people who could not care less. Now you have informed them, you see the empty opposition and empty noise that is being made be people who don’t care or understand the cries of Law Abiding citizens. AMOTEKUN has the support of the people who need it. THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
