The world needs a rethink about the expressions Nigeria and Nigerians
I am a yorubaman from western Nigeria.
The Yoruba people are not terrorists and we don’t kill foreigners.
The people of the other regions can also speak for themselves. They also have bloggers and media outfits around the world.
In northern Nigeria, a place I have vowed never to visit or travel to in my lifetime, many of the states are occupied by terrorists and they are the ones giving the bad terror image to the “rest”.
In my write-ups I will now start to use the following expressions from now on
Western Nigeria
Eastern Nigeria
Southern Nigeria
Middle-Belt Nigeria
Terrorist-Occupied Northern Nigeria
I am not a fan of Obama’s drones and I hate that men, women and children can be sent to their graves by unmanned machines called drones. The drones go against protection of human rights.
However, please when sending your drones, as you and your allies may be thinking, be clear on your mission and statements.
Don’t ever tell the world you are sending drones to Nigeria.
Your drones are likely heading to Terrorist-occupied Northern Nigeria.
I speak for my people, the Yorubas. We live in an area called the ODUDUWA LAND or ODUDUWA KINGDOM or ODUDUWA REPUBLIC
I do hope the world is watching and taking notes that Nigeria as a country is a complete fraud made in 1914 by the British.
Nigerians as you call them will never be one people, will never be one country. We all made mistakes in the past and now thinking it will work as one country. That will NEVER happen.
The people occupying that area are too diverse. I am a yorubaman and I don’t even understand 99% of the Yoruba languages. The languages are so diverse that you only master your own mother tongue.
If I don’t understand all of my own people-their languages, their behaviours, their mentalities and so on- what time do I have to accommodate an insane terrorist from the North?
The bulk of my friends are from Eastern and Western Nigeria and I am pleased with that.
So, please let us start to reconsider our vocabulary when talking about the people of the regions until now called Nigerians. We are not the same and I bet many people would like to dissociate themselves from the useless terror-prone and terrorist-occupied Northern Nigeria.
CNN, BBC, The rest of the world, please take note.
RUELY YOU ARE RIGHT, HOWEVER IF THE LEG HAVE PAINS THE OTHER PART OF THE BODY WILL FEEL IT AND KNOW IT COMES FROM THE LEG. WE SHOULD ALL SURMON OURAGE TO FIGHT OUR LEADERS TO DO RIGHT BY THE PEOPLE OR ENACT A RULE OR LAW TO FIGHT THEM. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
