Very true. Edumare bless you

I want a full restructuring of the country but i'll be happier if we can go our separate ways like Awo wished when he asked for the secession clause to be inserted into the constitution at he and Azikiwe's London debate according to Zik himself in his 1979 interview. We are too different to stay together and make progress but some are too myopic to see it. I didn't see this myself before until less than 3 years ago when it dawned on me that we are better off as separate entities. Eventually, we will confront this issue whether from this ipob skirmish or another one
if we don't sit down and talk.

Yoruba have never been impulsive about most things particularly anything that requires brute force or violence. we've always known that Discretion is the better part of valor and i don't care about any idiot who calls us cowards because of that. centuries of external and civil wars under the Oyo empire taught our fathers valuable lessons that they never forgot. A Yoruba proverb says "ti owo eni o ba ti to eku ida, aki bere iku to pa baba eni". No matter the provocation, until you're sure of your strength to last the distance, exercise restraint!! The biggest calamity that can befall a man is self delusions. believing your own lie is madness that destroys and it's a lesson we all must learn. Then very importantly is the truth that when the chips are down, you have no one to hang on but yourself so stop planting with the rain of another person. Don't run your race with another man's promise

Also, don't despise the wisdom of elders. At the Ibadan conference last week, i saw a picture of Gani Adams, leader of the OPC sitting in an obscure corner at the back and i smiled. The man knew he had elders and had to stay behind them. He has more clout and money than a lot of those seated in front but Yoruba training mandates he sits behind his kings and elders. No upstart can come out of the blues and expect to become the spokesman for a tribe that has been politically exposed and organized for more than 700 years!! Tani baba e?!!

Nigeria isn't working and i agree with ipob. Something has to change about the way this country is run irrespective of who is president. The fulani herdsmen madness for example must be resolved because there'll be reprisals very soon. What i won't agree with are the insults, abuse, threats and empty braggadocio they unleash on other tribes. You don't have to like me but respect is reciprocal. pikin wey say his father is a lazy poor man who doesn't know how to make money will have a chance to prove his mettle eventually

Only a madman takes a catapult to a gun fight. This i assume should be common sense but who knows? i might be wrong

Second class citizens indeed.

Ogun State alone has produced more political heavyweights than all states in your entire zone combined.

You're federal slaves. Suspected by all, accepted by none.

Our elders say that 'Ogbon ologbon ko je ka pe agba in were', 'Agba to jin so koto o ko ara yoku logbon'

Some months ago a young man released a video claiming to be the chosen leader of Yoruba youths ready to fight the Nigeria government with chemical weapons and other war thingamajigs for Yoruba's self determination, some people recognized him as Adeyinkas grandson, the internet went agog, a lot of jest was thrown around about how cowardly the tribe (Yoruba) the man claimed to represent, some even dared him to come down to Nigeria since he was domiciled abroad.

Here on Nairaland, many well known Yoruba monikers tapped into his rage, they started insulting Yoruba elders 'they're too docile, they're cowards and so on.'

The question these Yoruba youths should ask themselves are: during June 12 protest who led the protest, who fought Abacha government, who sponsored Radio Kudirat?

Simple answer: our fathers and mothers did, not just any Yoruba father and mother; well known and popular Yoruba bigwigs, politicians, some kings, lawyers and human right activists; they all came out to embrace the bullet, they dared the evil in human form Sani Abacha; how many Yoruba youths were killed, how many elders were killed? Many, but not as much as it would've been without the support of our elites.

They turned up the heat so much that a terrible military dictator couldn't step into the southwest, the beast died like a dog at the end, you may wonder why that was so?

Yoruba elite supported the masses and vice versa, for the injustice meted on Yoruba tribe, the region was chanting the same pledge, that is the power of a stable culture and tradition, our culture should keep having a stronghold on our lives, let our leaders and elders be the one to talk first, like they have done at the recent Ibadan conference which was a perfect example of the Ogboni conference of ancient times, it is not a sign of cowardice if we obey them, we have this system of checks and balances that won't allow a single person no matter how right he might be, lead us astray into quagmires.

We all know the proverb that says: what an elder sees when sitting a child will not see even if he's atop a tree; our elders have the foresight and ancient wisdom, let them lead us gently, with their international recognition they'll get us out of this useless contraption called Nigeria when the time comes, as we too become elders let us embrace the virtue of patience and tact.

Weeks have passed, so many dawns and dusks, what have we heard about the grandson of Adeyinka?
