The "Yoruba Summit" And The Politics Of Ignorance by Naijiant: 12:59pm On Sep 08, 2017
The conveners and attendees of the summit are proponents of what Usman called "bankrupt politics".  Several of them have bankrupted their states.  Many of them have made fortunes from looting the public treasury.  Those who were/are governors have done very little for the "Yoruba nation" from the power already devolved under the current Nigerian constitution.  Yet they claim that devolving more powers to looters of public funds is a viable solution.

What has other parasitical states done for their own people? They've leeched and sucked other states resources without anything to show for it over the years. Rubbish

In a nutshell, the problem is ignorance, the solution is knowledge, the difficulty is in finding ways to spread the knowledge.

Yorubas are steady and wise.


Others are cunny and are Judases.


Others still are sensual, disloyal and immoral.

You should be attacking the current structure that warrants states having to surrender their resources to Abuja before it's then redistributed based on a formula that favours unproductive states with higher number of local governments than those from where the resources are being mined. Abuja isn't producing anything yet it enjoys better infrastructure than others because it is feeding fat on the resources of others. The rest of the country has to be dragged backwards because some are trying to play catch up. You, OP, are a dishonest individual. You know that the North has consistently proved to be a stumbling block to the efforts to address these imbalances, yet you are attacking Yorubas for expressing their preference for a system they feel would address these and secure a better future for their people. You as an igbo man can't claim to know what is best for the Yorubas than Yorubas themselves.

1. It isn't the current structure that stole the resources of the states. It is their governors.

2. Your governors like Tinubu, Gbenga Daniel, etc have fed fat on the resources that should have been used to develop their states.

3. The stumbling block to imbalances in the country is the corruption of the people in power in the north, southwest, southeast, Niger Delta and every part of the country. While they are robbing you, you are busy blaming the north. Tinubu is a billionaire and you are blaming the north. Gbenga Daniel, Fayose, Mimiko and co are all stupendously wealthy from looting public funds. That is where the imbalance is - money in their pockets, no money for development.

4. What is best for Yoruba criminal politricksters is to rob their people. It is not what is best for ordinary Yoruba people. That's why they deliberately keep you in ignorance and bamboozle you into thinking that what they want is what you want. A fox and a chicken from the same place don't want the same thing. The fox wants to eat the chicken.

Abeg spare me the sermon. Why are you crying more than the bereaved? If you and your people are fine with the current system then that is your business. The Yoruba people have spoken and taken a firm position through yesterday's meeting, and so far the support for the deliberations and declaration at the end of the gathering within the region has been unanimous therefore your silly talk is inconsequential. We can speak for ourselves so no thanks. No one takes you nor your beer parlour gossip blog seriously anyway.

I sense some people have lost their peace of mind and sleep since the Yoruba submit came out with a resounding resolutions.

Oga, it is not by force to stay put in a marriage that has produced nothing but poverty, criminals, underdevelopment, looters, ridiculous wastage of resources at the centre and millions of joblessness.

At this stage in our political life, blackmail and fear-monging will not flip a single hair strand on our bodies. Let us make our mistake, correct them and improve from there. Simple and short.

The "sermon" is for those with ears. You have ears and have refused to use them.

I only speak for myself and not for my people - unlike the people that gathered at the summit claiming to speak for Yorubas without asking their opinion. The Yoruba people have not spoken anything. What you had was a gathering of the usual suspects claiming to speak for Yorubas. Get that difference through your head.

While the current system may not be working, what they are proposing didn't work b/4. The reason it is not working now or didn't work in the past, is b/c of the corruption of many of those at their brainless summit. They need the ignorance of people like you to be able to peddle their BS.

You may learn something if you take me seriously, instead of taking people like Fayose, FFK, Gbenga Daniel, Olu Falae, etc seriously just b/c they are Yoruba, while they got rich at your expense.

Their marriage is not working b/c of the criminals at the Yoruba summit who team up with other criminals from all over Nigeria to loot. In your ignorance, you imagine the problem is caused by other Nigerians and not your people. Look at the list of people at the Yoruba summit and count how much they looted from their own people!

Just shut it. The more you try to make sense, the harder you come off as an ignoramus. You said the system they are proposing didn't work in the past. What stupidity. Was it not Nzeogwu and his blood thirsty gang of coupists and khaki boys that terminated regionalism and imposed their unitary system on the rest of the country? Did they ask the permission of Yorubas and others before terminating regionalism?

You are just a shameless apologist for the status quo and the Northern born-to-rule establishment. When they declared an ultimatum sacking your people from the North (with impunity), you never made this much noise in condemnation of their effrontery, it's implication, and the dangerous precedent their actions and impunity set, but you can dedicate a thread to Yoruba calls for restructuring and a system they feel would best suit their collective aspirations as a people? You are a disgrace, considering your old age. Your opinion is irrelevant anyhow.

This is exactly what I mean about boneheaded ignorance.

Go and read what happened b/4 the Nzeogwu coup and why it was welcomed across the country. Who jailed Awolowo? Was it Nzeogwu? Nzeogwu and co actually wanted to free Awo and install him as PM - ask Odia Ofeimun, Awo's secretary. If you think regionalism was working, you probably never heard of the "wild, wild west"! Go and read your history and quit vomiting ignorance here.

Awo was de facto vice president and finance minister under Gowon and the so-called unitary system suited him then. Whenever thieving elites are marginalised from their theft, they call for a different structure that would facilitate their stealing.

You know next to nothing about Nigeria. The people with a born-to-rule mentality are the Fulani oligarchs. In fact, most of the north was conquered by Fulani jihadists. It is ignorant folks like you that associate born-to-rule with the entire north, when the majority there are conquered people. For you info, Nzeogwu's killing of Ahmadu Bello was celebrated in the north.

The last time I checked, it was Yoruba "leaders" like Tinubu, Fashola, etc that enabled Buhari to become president. Now, that Buhari's cabal has marginalised Tinubu and his houseboy Osinbajo, Yoruba crooks like FFK and co are calling for restructuring! If Tinubu got all the ministries he expected, it would be a different story. Why don't they restructure they they have in their private accounts back to the state treasuries where it was looted from?

I have news for you, buddy, but it may be over your ignorant head. There is no such thing as a collective Yoruba aspiration. The aspiration of Yoruba crooks is to steal from their people. Ordinary Yoruba folks are better off uniting with other ordinary Nigerians to stop the stealing. This is b/c Yoruba crooks like Tinubu always unite with crooks from other parts of the country to steal. Do you want me to remind you of what Tinubu said about Buhari in 2003 (agent of destabilisation whose ethnocentrism would jeopardise Nigerian unity) b/4 uniting with him in 2014?

I hate dealing with ignorant Nigerians. Teaching you people is a full time job and I have things to do to pay the bills.

Use your head. If those against restructuring are looters and those for restructuring are looters too, then restructuring is not the answer!

Forget what I sound like and my upbringing and go back to school to learn English. You don't use "wishes" in relation to plural ("those"wink. The correct grammar is "those who wish". Don't blame the structure for your failure, blame your governors who stole money meant for providing adequate schools and training decent teachers, and sent their own children to study abroad.

The present structure is producing mediocres b/c the people are ignorant. Whatever structure would do same - as long as the people remain ignorant. For e.g., people should learn from history to avoid the mistakes of the past. But see the comments above to see how ignorant people are of Nigerian history.

My solution is to free the people from their ignorance.

Your kind is suffering from debilitating ignorance. That's why you call a bunch of fascist crooks at a Yoruba summit "progressives". There is NOTHING progressive about a political gathering on the basis of ethnicity. But this is too complex for you to understand.

What "crumps" am I eating from? Where did you pull that out from?

Who is the enemy of Nigeria? Me that is telling you the truth or the governors like Gbenga Daniel that looted billions that should have been spent on developing his state? Ogun State is a mess b/c of governors like Daniel and not b/c of the structure of Nigeria. If you restructured Nigeria, people like him would still be in charge and still be looting. So how is that a solution? They thrive on the thoughtlessness of people like you.
