Marginalisation: Yoruba Leaders To Storm Aso Rock Again by INIEDO2: 7:29pm On Dec 16, 2012
The pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, has for the second time sought audience with President Goodluck Jonathan to protest the “political marginalisation of the South-West.”

The Yoruba leaders, who had earlier visited Jonathan on the same issue, said they were not happy that the President had not taken any action to rectify the “anomaly” in the nation’s political structure, which they had complained about.

A leader of Afenifere, Senator Femi Okunrunmu, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the group had already made request for the second visit, and were waiting for the President’s response.

He said, “We (Yoruba leaders) had met with Jonathan to complain about the marginalisation of Yoruba, but he has not done anything about it. So, we have decided to pay him another visit. We have already made our intention known to the Presidency. We are now waiting for the President to give us an appointment.

“We have the details of the situation which we intend to present to the President. It is as if the South-West has been excised from the country. If you look at all the top political positions and appointments in the country, it is not hard to see that South-West has been marginalised in this administration.

“Check from number one, which is the President, to number 15, you won’t find a Yoruba person there. Look at the people controlling the economy, the finance minister, the Central Bank governor, no Yoruba person is there. The first lawyers in this country were Yoruba. Today, Yoruba are marginalised in the judiciary. In the National Assembly, the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yoruba people are not in leadership position. It is bad. It’s as if Yoruba are not wanted.”

Similarly, another prominent Yoruba leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo told our correspondent that Jonathan had been very unfair to the South-West even in the repair of federal roads in the country.

He noted that while the roads in the North, the South-East and the South-South were being repaired with funds from government coffers, the federal roads in the South-West were given out to concessionaires who would collect toll from users. He cited the Lagos-Ibadan expressway concession as an example.

“That means that while others would be enjoying roads built with money from our national treasury, we, in the South-West, will have to pay for the repairs of the federal roads in our region. That is unfair. Why are there not roads under concession in the North, South-East and South-South? Yoruba people have been marginalised,” he said.

Am from the Niger Delta, but I must say that Yorubas are the worst thing to happen to this country Nigeria. If Yorubas are not qualified for any position in Nigeria how will any reasonable government hire them? OBJ was their for 8yrs all he could do is steal money like the typical yorobal. Even the roads in the SW are the worst in entire country. You ediots cannot eat your cake and have it, you bastards sold your birth right to one man tinubo and except anything more.

As a Yoruba I know all the kind of names for you.

So I say keep it up.

I would not waste my time approaching GEJ if I were Afenirere, but our elders are less prone to telling the center to go to h$&^@#l.
Obviously, they believe this was not deliberate or that GEJ can be made to come to his senses.

Come to think of it, when Yorubas were included in the center what good did it do us.
They allowed some funds to flow to the region from the center but imposed thieves and scoundrels as our local administrators.
They stole those funds and made nonsense of our collective local efforts.
That is not a good bargain in my opinion.

[size=14pt]Yorubaland should take the opportunity to increasingly distance itself from the center.[/size]
Put in place parallel systems for replacing what should be the FG's responsibility.
Region-wide security network for enhanced peace and security.
Activate latent economic engines to generate prosperity for our citizens.
Enhance education, health and infrastructure delivery region-wide.
If need be come up with ways to by-pass the center in international relations.

Sometimes one hopes GEJ and his fumbling administration would get it right in at least one thing.
But people like you surely make this very hard.

Ofcos that was what FG gave to the Yoruba almajiris that came to Aso Rock after Abioala was killed. They were given meat-pie and bottle of coke. That was what bought the entire Yoruba tribe over. History was repeated two years back when Tinubo received the same gesture to turn in the Yoruba tribe against Ribadu who trusted them. No Ribadu knows better not to trust these cowards next time..

Sure. I have left him to his silliness. I do not have time to response to people to diatribes like this.
It was necessary to let him know that THERE WILL be consequences if any Yoruba leader is harmed by his tree-biting cohorts.

you sef fall my hand.

It took you this long to realise that you were in the boxing ring with a mad man?

Abeg no blame anybody if they can't tell the mad man from the sane one o because na you choose to enter ring with am.

Just grab a can of coke with kuli-kuli and read and laugh out heartily at the display. As you can see, the circus acts are coming in and it therefore promises to be a fantastic show.

When you pay to watch an act, you don't join it in the performance, you watch and laugh to your heart's content and should you happen to have a bone of kfc chicken lying around somewhere, you throw it at the creature. That is how to watch a dirty show.

Get with the programe, bruv!

shame you couldn't see the pain in that animal's writings.

This is just an avenue to display its pent up anger for the Yorubas whom it somehow believe have aggrieved him in some way. Of course, those creatures know the real status of the Yorubas in Nigeria but it makes them feel a whole lot better to think the Yorubas are suffering.

You, as a special breed should not get into the sty with pigs. You should know better!

If anything, you should pity the creature. It is hurting!

I don't believe you read the post girl, Nobody else thought the Yoruba's were suffering especially after a Yoruba man was the president for 8years and was gunning for life presidency.. shocked shocked But it seems your leaders disagree hence why they keeping crying to Aso-Rock or does the Afenifere represent the Igbo's or Hausa's angry

Yorubas are real Jokers and clown in the Nigerian Political Circus, Somebody put his Destiny and Votes behind a comdemmed Thieve tifnubu and wants to reap from the National Government which they Sabotaged.

How come these Saboteurs are now coming to a Drunk Fisherman, a Retardeen, an Odechukwu to cry of Marginalisation if not that they want to Betray him.

Yorubas should go back to their Emperror who used N2 billion tax payers money that should have been used to build 100 KM road or give more than 100,000 pupils Schorlarship for a Birthday Bash to rescue them Hypocrisy is no longer weapon in Nigerian political space everybody has wisened up.

you are warming up for a Merger with Buhari to Sabotage GEJ on one hand and you are coming back on your Knees to GEJ to cry of Marginalisation before GEJ one one hand. Hypocritical ,Betraying , parasitically Covetous Vultures !!!!!!!

You are here insinuating about the South West being politically mature.
Do you think South West is more politically mature than the north?

The north keeps Vice President, Senate President, Speaker House of Reps, Chief Justice of the Federation and you
