The Yoruba Distinction - THE CROWN by MayorofLagos(m): 1:07am On Dec 15, 2017
The CROWN is what identifies Yoruba. It is also the object that binds us together. Between Yoruba and others is an umatched distinction in heirarchy. This distinction has been lost and the heirarchy taken away by the modernity of political class. Ethnic groups that were once waved off as inconsequential and politically irrelevant, those whose fathers would vacate and make room for Yorubaman to sit at the banquet, and then wait on him cheerfully till he has had his fill; it is only after he got up to leave that the low caste can scoop up what is left over to take home to his family. Now the children of those Awolowo rescued and enrolled in school, in their nak3dness, with no shoes or pedigree for greatness, tell us that they are our peers and our fathers are inconsequential to how their destiny in Nigeria will be shaped.

What an abomination!

Those who should serve us are now competing with us for a seat at the banquet. If Yoruba does not shape up there soon wont be a seat for him at the banquet table. A response is urgently needed. The CROWN is in need of a renaissance. We dont have to durbar like they do in Hausaland but it should be noted that this Emirate renaissance is a a solid exhibition for displaying political glory and cultural pride.

The distinction of heirarchy needs to be accentuated clearly and for good.

Every Easterner with a worth in his name has one or more abode in Yorubaland. Every Governor of East has a home in Yorubaland. Every red cap chief has his foot planted in Yorubaland. Ohanaeze has held three big gathering in Yorubaland this year, each targeted to ndigbo. Is this not a statement of competition with us in our domain? Pretty soon they will bring the coronation of Obi of Onitsha to Yorubaland. After that Ofala festival will begin to hold in Yorubaland.

This meeting of handshake for Southern bond is a disguise. There is no respect or honor in it because the political class, the professional class, the traditional class of Easterners will not stop to label Yorubaland a no man's land....just because of a handshake across.

The sooner the elders drop all ideas of a handshake for bonding between West and East, the earlier we can pull our bootstrings together and formulate ideas to bring back the CROWN classics for display and upliftment.

In d long or short run, d igbos are gonna rule d country. They're an invasive species, just like d jews were in europe.



There is no hamlet in nigeria, were u wont meet an igbo man! And, unlike d northerners, they're not scared to acquire properties in their adopted homes.
