THE BITTERNESS AGAINST THE YORUBA

In the last 24 months or so a lot of
diatribe has been directed against the
Yoruba. Unfortunately some Yoruba
elements have taken time out to respond
to some of the things they thought were
untrue or undeserved. They made good
reading all of them.
The pointless discuss for instance, about
whether Zik was greater than Awolowo
took much of the space that would have
been better used to address pressing
issues that have relevance for today. One
would have thought that the contributions
of Azikwe, Awolowo, and the Sarduana
towards our independence are there for
all to see and learn from. None of them
was an angel but they each meant
different things to different people. Anyone
who assesses the contributions of these
three with an open mind will learn to
admire each of them for different reasons.
It is a pity that some Yoruba elements
thought they should rise to defend
Awolowo. That would have been sensible
if those attacking Awolowo were
misinformed or denied access to the
truth. There is no point wasting time
responding to hate, deliberate falsehood,
or the writings of deluded persons.

A few Igbo in the forums recklessly attack
anything Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani and
show their uncouth background by even
attacking the person of Bianca Ojukwu in
such language that should only be used
in the gutter. Calling the wife of their Igbo
hero a LovePeddler in an open forum, even if it
is true, tells the rest of us how much
space they deserve in response to their
writings. Another has recently posted that
Okonjo-Iweala’s 95-year old husband
chases anything in skirts in condemning
the poor woman’s policy. What her
husband’s age or sexual activities has to
do with oil subsidy in Nigeria beats me. It
only goes to show why the Yoruba in
particular should ignore the few Igbo who
are just reckless in attacking anything
and everything they don’t like or
understand.
In the interest of the very many Igbos that
are trying to proffer honest solutions to
the problems of Nigeria these few cranky
ones should be ignored. It is they who
accuse the Yoruba as being the thieves
and looters of Nigeria. It is they who
preach that Igbos should buy guns to
protect themselves. It is they who
threaten to drive Hausa/Fulanis from the
East. It is they who want Nigeria to break
up now and to resuscitate Biafra. It is
they who blame the Yoruba for all the ills
and problems of the Igbo in Nigeria
including the 200 payment; the starvation
of the Igbo; the loss of the Biafra war etc.
The list is unending.

Have these people fathomed why it is the
Igbo that are unjustifiably massacred in
communities in which Igbos, Yoruba, and
others concentrate? Have they examined
the possibility that the reckless and
unbridled lashing out at other tribes by
the few irresponsible Igbos have
something to do with it? I personally
admire those who feel loyal to their tribe
but when it is done at the expense of truth
and to the detriment of others in such
crude language, I beg to be excused.
My appeal here is to the Yoruba. Any
other groups can use whatever they find
agreeable in it.

I wan f u c k toto tonight

1. Do not rush to respond to
professional hate merchants especially
when they say the usual falsities against
the Yoruba. You too should not be like
them – do not hate; just say what you
know to be truthful without bitterness if it
is compelling that you should respond.
2. We are not perfect and should be
able to use every constructive criticism.
3. Read everything they have to say
and take out whatever is true and use it
to improve the future of the Yoruba race.
There is always some iota of sense in
even the most senseless and atrocious
ranting.
4. As long as we are in Nigeria,
whether it is perfect or not, our
responsibility should be to find solutions
to our problems. In doing so, we should
respect the views and sensitivities of
other tribes because we have to live with
them even in a future in which there is no
Nigeria as it is known today.
5. We should go out to revive and
strengthen our culture because there is
so much in it that can stand us in good
stead in the rough and unpredictable
future we are heading to.
6. The other tribes in Nigeria have
much that we can learn from. We should
respect their culture and honestly strive
to live in harmony with them. War is a
very wicked and needlessly destructive
thing and should be avoided like poison.
Seek peace; speak peace, live peace,
even if others think you are weak. A
bellicose, cutlass-wielding, or gun-
stockpiling stance is bad for good
neighborliness. By doing so you are
attracting suspicion and hate to yourself.
7. It is a fundamental tenet of Yoruba
culture to protect strangers among us. We
should not let that change and should
assure Hausas, Igbos, and others among
us that the barbarism that was unleashed
on strangers in other parts of the country
is not part of our culture and that they
should feel safe. Communities should
have arrangements to ensure the
protection of lives and properties of
strangers.
8. We should begin NOW to wean
ourselves as Yoruba of the oil money that
is the curse of Nigeria. It should dry up in
perhaps 30 years so we need to make a
20-year de-oiling plan during which we
should be able to fund our states without
recourse to the oil money that some
states are claiming, rightly or wrongly, as
their sole property. We should remember
that once upon a time, cocoa and
groundnuts funded most of the
development of Nigeria. We should begin
planning for that NOW . We can do it.
9. Let us not compete with any tribe or
group in Nigeria. If we must look for
bench-marks, please let us look up to
countries like South Africa, Malaysia,
China, or Germany. Our institutions
should target international standards.
10. We must be harsh and honest in
assessing ourselves as Yoruba people.
One of our strengths is, in our parlance,
‘lying down and not facing the same
way’. We believe in diversity.

Honest
disagreements and the freedom to choose
what individuals believe has led to a Rev.
Ransome-Kuti being a chieftain of the AG
political party while his wife Mrs.
Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a chieftain
in the NCNC party. Many multi-religious
Yoruba families share the same family
compound and live in harmony all their
lives. Let them laugh at us but following
our conviction is our great asset. We
rejected Obasanjo, our own, because we
did not see why we should embrace him.
We accepted Abiola a Muslim who chose
another Muslim as a running mate. We
had an Awolowo and at the same time
embraced in part an Akintola. That is a
strength.
It is important to keep in focus that those
bringing the Igbos into disrepute are a
minority. It is not therefore right to group
all Igbos into the category of those who
are reckless. What the majority can do is
to appeal to them as I am doing to the
few Yoruba who trade insult and abuse
with their Igbo type on the net. I think
enough is enough of this nonsense of
trading insults and wasting time on the
incorrigible hate mongers of Igbo
extraction.
