RUDOLF OKONKWO • APRIL 18, 2021

The greatest thing Nigerians accomplished in the last thirty years was electing Muhammadu Buhari as president. If he had lived and died without being president, no one would push back when politicians fall over themselves to deliver tributes and call him the greatest president that Nigeria never had.

After six years of Buhari’s administration and with only two more years to go, all is settled about the rhymes and stanzas of Buhari’s elegy. Some thirty years from now, people will stone anyone who attaches “greatest ” to any tribute at Buhari’s funeral.

You may ask if anything is worth the cost of having Buhari as president?

Before you do, there is another reason why his election was the greatest accomplishment of the Nigerian electorate in the last 30 years. If Buhari had not been president, if his incompetence had not been exposed to the uninitiated, Nigeria would have continued its zigzag path. The one-step-forward, two-steps-backwards trajectory would have continued unabated.

Thus, Buhari helped the unrestructured Nigeria to confront its foreseeable future. That is Buhari’s first legacy.

Here is Buhari’s second legacy: It may not be clear yet to the Fulani people, but Buhari’s presidency has damaged them more than any other group in Nigeria. Buhari’s inability to have an objective view of what leadership entails in a diverse country like Nigeria and his propensity to side with his Fulani people even when every donkey could see the bias undermined the Fulani deeply. He diminished whatever legitimate claim they have in what is clearly a fast-moving degenerative Nigeria’s structural carnage. The Fulani were better off in Nigeria six years ago than they are today. That is Muhammadu Buhari’s second legacy.

In the context of Nigeria’s nationhood, Buhari’s second coming was a necessary evil: He came, he saw, and he hastened its ruination for everyone.

If Buhari had not been president, Nigeria would have been ‘managing.’ The Peoples Democratic Party of Goodluck Jonathan and Sambo Dasuki and Diezani Allison-Madueke would have been paying Dangote to rob Otedola, even as the country continued the slide down the valley of death. Buhari accelerated the collapse by taking the country on a bungee jump down the deepest part of the valley using a frayed rope.



The rope is breaking. Anyone with functioning ears can hear the splitting threads from miles away. High above the deepest part of the valley, Nigeria barely holds on to Buhari’s back. Two things will happen: Either Nigeria loses its grip on Buhari’s back and falls into the valley of death, or the rope rips and both Nigeria and Buhari plunge down the valley. Either way, death is the expected end.

The only miracle on the horizon is to get Nigeria to a place where it cannot fight the Igbo and the Yoruba nations simultaneously.

In a one-on-one fight, Nigeria may defeat any of its components. Nigeria may defeat the Igbo. Nigeria may run over the Yoruba. Nigeria may crush the Ijaw, the Ibibio, the Tiv, the Ijaw, the Kanuri, the Fulani, the Bachama, the Idoma, the Urhobo, etc. Nigeria cannot defeat the Igbo and the Yoruba at the same time. In a fight between Nigeria on one side and an Igbo-Yoruba alliance on the other, many ethnic minority groups will take the side of the alliance.

Whether the fight is in the physical or spiritual realm, whether it is in the democratic realm or the ideological realm, Nigeria has no chance of winning a fight against the combined forces of the Igbo and the Yoruba. For a table with three legs, one leg has no chance of keeping the table standing when the other two legs take a knee. The Igbo and Yoruba need to take a combined knee. That is the ultimate way to shake the table called Nigeria.

Nigeria needs to get to a point where it faces the prospect of fighting a united Igbo and Yoruba power. It needs to happen now. That reality needs to be clear, concrete, and ironclad. It is the only magic wand that can save Nigeria.

Is it easy to achieve? No. Is it possible? Yes.

What will it take to get Nigeria to that place where it risks fighting the Igbo and the Yoruba simultaneously?

The way to achieve this is for the Igbo and the Yoruba to embrace Thomas Jefferson’s greatest philosophy. The man who drafted the U.S. Declaration of Independence said, “I admire the dreams of the future more than the history of the past.”



The Igbo and the Yoruba must admire the dreams of the future more than the history of the past. They must do it not just for their children’s children but also for all those children from East to West, North to South, trapped in prisons of mediocrity and death, which are the only gift of an unfair, unjust, and dysfunctional Nigeria.

The Igbo and the Yoruba owe this to future generations of the people currently trapped in Nigeria. It is their responsibility. Posterity will blame the Igbo and the Yoruba in Nigeria if they fail to catch the wave. Thanks to Buhari’s misadventures, the awareness of today is total and overwhelming. Severe penalties await the Igbo and the Yoruba if they fail to act now and free unborn generations from the manacles of Buhari's misadventures.

Yoruba and unity with nyamiris are like parallel line that can never meet, so mr unity beggar stop crying about any fvcking unity bcuz we yoruba have made up our minds never to unite with you guys on anything
God bless yoruba nation

Yorubas have never said they are going into war with anybody..

This epistle is only full of junk

Who told you we Yorubas are fighting anybody

The only hindrance to this is the loop holes in each of the two tribes,i.e the Fulani Emirate slaves and those forever loving servitude to death and shame to the detriment of their own people.

The country is actually in a war already.

War is actually not a way of resolving issues...but the current reality on ground suggest that all southerners and their leadership needs to act.

Leave Yoruba people. Yoruba people see their shackles as bling bling

Why calling Nigeria? Simply say Fulani and some slave Hausas, other tribe got no issue with Yoruba or Igbo, if the fight starts trust me fulani would be on their own...I bet if they would even be able to cross or make it past the middlebelt cos those ones are already wounded tigers and waiting to take their own pound of flesh from fulani marauders...!!

Mecca Yoruba man.

You got the wrong end of the stick. He is not talking about war. He is rather talking about the THREAT of war.
It is with such a threat, that everyone will agree to come to the negotiating table, to rescue Nigeria.

Yet again, some SW almajiris did not understand the thrust of his logic. Exactly the same sort of idiocy that SW almajiris showed in 2015, when Igbos were telling them that Buhari was a terrorist. Must you guys be dumb all the time?

Op which yoruba.


E got reason why police and army are not after Oduduwa group in southwest.

Not possible actually

Paid Fulani imposter alert!

Nigeria isn't seeking to fight Yorubas. Igbos are seeking to fight Nigeria and they shall fight alone.

Stop lumping others into your struggles and troubles.

I pray IPOB-ESN continue with their rampage, amen.

Tranquillity360:
Op which yoruba.

I laugh whenever I hear Igbos tag another person cowards,d same set of people that their 2 heroes ran away when the heat got to it.

The same sets of people who dare not say a word when Asari n Wike are talking,the same people who are only warriors online.

between Abiola n Ojukwu who can b described as a coward?

between Nnamdi Kanu n Fela,who will u call a coward?

anytime u Igbos are about to exhibit your madness n sane people aren't subscribing to it u tag them coward,so much for the so called courageous tribe that an illiterate buhari is dealing with them left right n centre

No one is expecting Yoruba to fight, my friend. Yoruba and audacity or bravery are mutually exclusive scenarios. If it were Hausa, it's a different ball game, but Hausa are already conquered. Apart from the Jukuns and Igbo-led Eastern Region, no other group has what it takes to resist Fulani domination. Your question should be, "Can Nigeria contend With Another Crisis in The Eastern Region?" considering that the north is already nearly overrun by bandits (approved) and Boko Haram (partly approved).

Very intelligent write up!
I have always insisted this generation would break Nigeria! There is too much information out there to still remain a slave,

shut your dirty mouth ,who are you in the community of strategic Yoruba thinkers. You are bunch of igboho followers who have no strategy. In as much as I support Sunday . I would be a fool to follow without strategy in acheving a goal.
Biafra and odua nation would be a distant dream if igbo and Yoruba fail to work together.
The north knows these stuff better than you.

Yorubas specialise in kneeling before their juniors and begging for their lives. Oladipo Diya, Adisa and co know what I'm referring to.
Ogundipe ran away when a junior Hausa officer refused to obey his order. He was not threatened at all, and yet he ran away.
The whole Nigerian army was looking for Ojukwu to kill him and he outwitted them and escaped. Ogundipe disguised himself like a transvestite and disappeared, even though no one was looking for him.

Between Ojukwu and Diya, who's the coward?

Between Nnamdi Kanu and Ogundipe who is the coward?

the issue is not if yourbas are willing. The very nature of yorubas eschew strife and bitterness.they tend to see violence as the last result .Which must be sanctioned by their elders..
That's why you hardly see much inter community violence amongst them. Any fight must be collectively agreed upon.its traditional.its in their DNA .Their leaders must collectively agree and come out to direct them. Check their history.
The issue is the so called leaders. The igbos on the other hand don't really care much about leaders as long as they feel such as been compromised.
Yoruba leaders are seeing the handwriting on the wall
The funny thing from their history (yorubas) is when they turn on such kind of leaders .they would be seen as worthless.some are already towing that part

Dream what. Nothing can be acheived by Yoruba or igbo alone. What's the point of discussing strategy with small boys.
You fake Yoruba son . As I have always said you are a small boy when it comes to such issues .it's above your level.

I really don't know d ogundipe n Diya story but I will definitely read about it but I know for sure u know Abiola n Fela story,guy please tell us d coward abeg.

Answer my question now n I promise I will answer yours tomorrow

Go and read up on the individuals I mentioned. Gen. Abdul Karim Adisa kneeling before a Fulani major and crying and begging.

Ojukwu escaped, and there is absolutely no shame in that. The whole Nigerian army was after him and wanted to kill him, but he escaped. That is bravery. It's better to escape than to kneel before you juniors or mates and be begging like Adisa and Diya.

Abiola went underground and was arrested before he could escape. He had already started applying his lipstick and adjusting his fake boobs, in preparation for his escape when he got arrested

both you and the yorubas against an alliance between both group are foolish people who never learn from history. The north could not have won without the west. Translate to the fact that the east would never win without the western support. It shows the west is important which also brings us to the point that the west cannot win without the support of the eastern part due to the same factor that affected the east against the north. Stop being foolish

Then start your agitations in failure.
Imagine starting a 10 story building on quicksand

Yoruba and Fulani na 5 & 6
