The political south-west has been adjudged the strongest in the southern flank of Nigeria.That truth has been long conceded by the treaty of silence. The Yorubas are the most advanced politically and the most intellectually sophisticated in the south . All the entire Nigeria has come to realise that any presidential aspirant must consider South-west as a focus point of entry into the wagon of victory at the poll. Any time the yorubas feel their aspirations are not being met within the Nigeria union, they would build some formidable politico-social front against any despotic leader whether military or civilian.

At a point in time, General Ibrahim Babangida owned Nigeria as a military head of state. while his tactical subtle brutality had filled nigerians' guts with painful chills of totalitarian dominance, when a presidential smile was the capital signature publicly appended at occassions that any ill-fated recipient of Maradona's grin must not live to witness the sun set of the same day, when the Gideon Orkar messiahnic effontry was devoured into the ignominy of one would-have-been a laudable military coup ever staged that it wasn't , at that time, the most feasible wayout of the Babangida owned excruciating Nigeria had crumbled flat on the remnant of Nigerians hope. That was when the Yorubas rose and formed that historical movement that would make them single-handedly deposess IBB of Nigeria. They did not stop at that, they made sure IBB was so terrified that He jitterily hand-picked a Yoruba man as an interim leader. Abacha would take over through another coup and emerge a brutal force with his bayonnete hunting down every intrepid voice with Yoruba blood running in the jugular.

Abacha had studied the trend for long and He knew the intellectual south-west has always been the waterloo of any despot with fixity in self- perpetuation. Yet the Yorubas would not compromise their ancestral martial gallantry, it was Pen for gun, street demonstrations in retaliation for Abacha's crushing mercilessness. Yorubas had formed NADECO, a socio-political formidable front that fought the reigns of terror head on. The anti-government sentimentalism was heaped out of the ghostly Radio Kudirat. Abacha would later succumb to the frigid fang of a forever mysterious death after an alleged frolicking with a prostitute in the Aso cave! Once again, another despot fell to the depth of the earth.

That relentless justice demanding racial radicalism would later force a Babangida-influenced General Abdul Salam to make the next election to the Aso Rock be a restricted contest between two Yoruba Men, the two "Olu's". Olufalae was submerged while Olusegun emerged. It is that utter doggedness and political resilience that has "standed" the Yorubas among other southern tribes in a glowing political halo.

While accidental political mis-calculus harvested the Nigeria Presidency from the ground-nut farmyard to the crayfish streams, the shoelessly growing communities had basked in the euphoria of being the providencial beneficiaries of the rudder. While the other co-hemispheric tribes were equally rejoicing that their desolate distress wailings reverberating from the creeks would finally be heard to as far as the desertifying savannah and that a common sympathy would then be born. At that moment of reconciliatory possibilities, there from the creeks some political hippopotami got driven ashore! Their satiety for hegemonic quest will linger on, the lootomaniac hippopotami were quickly threatened that the politically strongest co-hemispheric tribe must first be broken and severed from the string attaching all to the political baloon. "Break Baba first, then appoint none of his clan to any position of singnificant influence", Hippopotami have said.

The two recent elections in the west, were the the most humiliating moments for the Yoruba race. When dissidents in their mutinous hordes were hauled out of the creeks, cladly facelifted in military outfits and unleash'd on the historically unconquared territories of the Oduduwa, with all the alcoholic feelings of being the lords of the trigger! No Nigerian leader as ever gone so audaciously contemptous for the rather sacred sovereignity of the Yoruba Race as "Jonathanyau" did ! We were conquared by the creeks, not by the confluence in Lokoja. Sure, Power dictates it all, the hooks and the nets are today terrorising the Ink and the quills. Who could have ever thought that the Yoruba race that was davidic to the junta's downfall would easily be this conquared by the pin-head of the fishing hook?

Just like IBB was succeeded by a yoruba man
and Abacha/Abdulsalami were succeeded by a yoruba man
Jonathan will be succeeded by a yoruba man.

the gods have spoken.
