The recent bombings in Lagos and Ile Ife, which have been attributed to Boko Haram bring to memory the burning of the German parliament in 1933 which precipitated the enablement of Hitler and his Nazi Party’s dictatorship. In the aftermath of the contention between Hitler’s Nazi party and the opposition, led by the Communist Party, Hitler, on behalf of the National Socialist Party, assumed emergency powers on February 4, 1933, which allowed him, through the police, to ban electoral campaigns and hinder the press. On February 27, 1933, there was a fire in the German Parliament which was blamed on the Communist Party. The Party was accused of trying to overthrow the government through the instrumentality of the fire. The following day, February 28,1933, a permanent suspension of democratic and civil rights was issued. The suspension covered areas such as permanent suspension of civil rights, right to assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press as well as Constitutional guarantees including all restraints on police investigations, the arrest and detention of political opponents without charge, dissolution of political organizations and overruling state and local laws. Of course, all of these were justified on the false accusation of the Communist Party as being responsible for the fire.
What has this got to do with Nigeria, in general and the Yoruba Nation in particular?
Hitler and his forces created a false premise that the Communists were planning to overthrow the government. And we all know how the Jonathan administration and the PDP had always utilized State Propaganda to accuse the APC of being “Boko Haramites”; of being its political and financial sponsors and trying to Islamize Nigeria. At one point, just as Hitler suppressed opposition publications, so the Jonathan administration tried to suppress even neutral publications by confiscating their editions over a period of several days in the recent past, again, on an allegation of their being carriers for Boko Haram; all of these in an attempt to create the impression that APC is Boko Haram’s political arm. And in the recent election in Ekiti, APC leaders were hounded and detained without charge just so they would be kept off electioneering; the entire state was completely militarized and the movement of APC leaders abridged thus all of the opposition’s Constitutional guarantees were suspended for the benefit of the Jonathan forces.
When the bombings in Lagos and Ile Ife took place, the same Jonathan agencies came up with the idea that these were the handiwork of Boko Haram. This was followed by a supposed security report that indicted what it called a “ major opposition party”-which is none other than the APC- of transporting “thousands of Northerners” into the South for the singular reason of getting them registered in time for the 2015 election. The so-called security report also alleged that a former State resident Electoral commissioner was redeployed because he had actually registered over 6000 Northerners for the Osun election coming up on August 9, 2014. The end result of this “security report” is to show that only Northerners will vote in large enough numbers in order for the PDP to make a dent in the south.
This demonization of the APC and Hitlerization of the Jonathan Presidency is actually a veritable insult on the Yoruba Muslim Community, and by extension, the entire Yoruba Nation. It is a matter of historical record that Islam had been in existence in Yoruba land before the Dan Fodio expansionist Jihad and to refuse the recognize that historical fact is to deny the existence of Yoruba Muslims as rational human beings. Furthermore, Yoruba Muslims were prominent actors and participants in the much revered period of our history, under the political direction of the Awo-led Action Group, where such personalities as Alhajis D.S Adegbenro, Y Shittu, Odutola, S.O. Gbadmosi, G.O Dawodu, S.L Edu, A.T. Ahmed, Busari Adelakun, L.K. Jakande et al stood firm against the persecution and political rape of the land spear-headed by such Christians like S.L Akintola and Remi Fani-Kayode et al.
For Yorubaland, therefore, Muslims have always been found, in a major form, among the promoters and defenders of the land and it is only fascists of the Hitlerite variety, in and out of Yorubaland that will proceed on a journey of ascribing anti-Muslim tendency to Yorubaland.
Doing this is thus not only a-historical, it is also a direct assault of the recognized spiritual cum religious tolerance found in Yorubaland, which tolerance and mutual co-existence, as a matter of course, is not found anywhere else in the world. Needless to say, this is a direct assault on the foundation of our existence, ostensibly on the basis of fighting the “north” under the direction of a “southern Christian” leader in the person of Goodluck Jonathan who has absolutely no respect for our cosmological foundation.
Thus, when Boko Haram is blamed for all the bombings all over Nigeria, and APC is being demonized as its enabler, the battle is not against the APC as a political party, as political parties come and go, but against the Nation, this time, the Yoruba Nation which translates into defeating the APC being a defeat for the Yoruba Nation.
Furthermore, “ooduapathfinder” asks: had Ijaw terrorism ever reared its head in Yorubaland? The answer is an unequivocal YES. Under Abacha, the Ijaw paraded a Map of its territory which included parts of coastal Yorubaland; of course this was done under the cover of Ijaw Nationalism and anti-Caliphate struggle; at another time, Ijaw “militants” blew up the Lagos Atlas Cove jetty in its “war” against the Federal Government, even though, the Yoruba, right from the beginnings of the anti-colonial period till the present day, had always championed the right of the Peoples of Nigeria for self-determination, and the Ijaw in particular; not too long ago, a larger number of Ijaw terrorists were found camped in a building in Lagos, owned by the Bayelsa State Government. The perpetrators of all of these things were not Boko Haram! The Edwin Clark-led “Southern Peoples Conferences” coordinated with the Yoruba Unity Forum, after several meetings on Restructuring came around to promote support for Jonathan’s presidential electoral run as the raison d’etre for these meetings. Strangely, it is the same Ijaw under Jonathan’s presidency the Yoruba Quislings are now promoting in Yorubaland.
It is against this background that the militarization of the Ekiti election took place and now being followed up by a soldiers’ rampage in Lagos.
Historically, soldiers have been known to go on rampage whenever they feel “offended” by civil society, this being defined by general residents/citizens of the country. When this happens, these soldiers don’t discriminate between “official” and non-official properties; they simply damage any and everything in their sight. And their commanders always find ways of covering up these rampages. When these are carried out officially, as in the Odi and Zaki Biam massacres as well as the Paul Okuntimo-led Niger Delta Internal Security and also reported as taking place in the North East, civilians and not government agencies were targeted.
What happened in Lagos, in the past week bucked this trend. A soldier was reportedly killed overnight and his body dumped inside a Lagos State government –owned vehicle; upon which soldiers went on the rampage and began damaging ONLY Lagos State government –owned vehicles around the area. These were carried out without torching any civilian vehicle, which was an abnormally.
In 2012, the current chief of army staff, from Jonathan’s Ijaw Nationality, was the commander of Lagos Garrison . Lagos was the epicenter of the protests against the increase in fuel price and this commander was on the verge of butchering the protesters before the protests were called off. The current Minister of State for Defense is from Lagos State and he was primarily responsible for the militarization of Ekiti election, as part of his official duties. Lagos State is a prime target for these fascists and what happened with this soldiers’ rampage is nothing but a dry run of what to expect from this military, who, readers would know, “ooduapathfinder” had already shown to be preparing a military putsch on behalf of Jonathan; even as such plans are now on hold.
The National Assembly has suspended, albeit temporarily, its attempt at amending the 1999Constitution, ostensibly awaiting the outcome of Jonathan’s National Conference while the Conference itself is now embroiled in a controversy based on an earlier accepted voting method which allowed for a veto by a 30% minority. The “consensus” being arranged by a “Consensus Group” is being led by, among others, Raymond Dokpesi, one of the main pillars of the “Doctrine of Necessity” that ushered in Jonathan’s Presidency–a Doctrine of which we have no clue of what it is all about.
Along with the above is the collapse of Autonomy/Regionalization demanded by South South, South West and South East in particular, at the Conference is further affirmation of how the ground is being prepared for the return of power to the North with Jonathan’s active collaboration. Even the Niger Delta was reduced to begging for a slight increase in what is”allowed” them. It will be recalled that the current state structure was the handiwork of the military institution, of which the North was its dominant section, which apparently is now inching its way back to power, albeit in a civilian garb.
All of these are taking place against the backdrop of the neutralization of the APC as a potential pan-Nigerian opposition party. Thus, the stage is being set for the PDP, under Jonathan’s presidency, to ram through some form of Constitutional amendment after “capturing” the required 24 states, which will be theirs for the taking after neutralizing the APC in Yorubaland. Either way, Yorubaland will become the vassal of the North on the altar of the destruction of our only viable political platform, the APC. Even though “ooduapathfinder” believes that Jonathan will not run as he is merely preparing the grounds for a Northern presidency which he is hypocritically accusing the APC of doing, it would not matter if he runs as the choice before the Yoruba Nation is not either the North or the East, as represented by Jonathan.
With the above, “ooduapathfinder” believes that while a formal ground war is not being waged against the homeland, surreptitious moves are being made to render us prostrate and the Osun election will be the “last man standing”. We had such a standing in 2003; we will have another one now. The question then is: are we condemned into becoming “last man standing” in perpetuity? If not, the Osun election must not only be the last man standing, it must, as a matter of course, propel us into neutralizing the Quislings and their central enablers in perpetuity.

Call it what you may, but discerning minds see the substance in the article. To me, I really don't think there's a particular group of persons known as Boko Haram. What I see is a franchise exploited by all and sundry with the capacity and heart to perpetrate evil to realize their sinister agenda, especially the govt and politicians.

An article which started so well, all of a sudden turn around to be "yorubaying" and "APCying".
Does it mean that this tribe actually pay some people's bills? I don't really wanna sound anti Bigotry (though I am one anyways) I don't seem to understand why Nigerians have misplaced their priorities so much.

You started so well talking about how the Nazi hijacked the Govt, all of a sudden, you mixed politics with tribe, does yoruba as a tribe pay your bills? I am really lost, what do you guys benefit from your tribes that you revere it so much?
wow! perhaps I am a loner in this case, I get suprised when peoeple take religion and tribe too seriously in this part of the world, damn!

ALL of his speeches are not available here. Besides, a "tiger does not need to proclaim its tigritude". He's English because he's one.

No. Nigeria is a COUNTRY just as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is. The English is a tribe in the UK; just as are the Welsh, the Scots and the Irish(in Northern Ireland). Nigeria also has many "tribes"--Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Ibibio, Fulani, Igala etc etc. The entire population of the English is not much more than the Yoruba for example. Except prior imperial power, there is nothing the English has that the Yoruba do not have--language; culture(in all ramifications);social organization--name it. And this goes for ALL African "tribes" also. Right now, in the UK, those "tribes" are seeking their autonomy, including the English who now want their political capital away from London and taken to Manchester
