Ekitiparapo,the Dichotomy Of Yoruba Ideology by mandarin: 12:40pm On Jun 30, 2014 |
The shocking lost of APC Governor Fayemi to the candidate of PDP Ayo Fayose in just concluded gubernatorial election in Ekiti State was a reflection of many deep rooted gap in the Yoruba ideaology and metaphysical between the East and West of the Yoruba country, a gulf similar in nature to the Ekitiparapo war otherwise known as Kiriji war in the 1880s. Let me be clear that personally, I am averse to any political system or individuals that do not promote developments for the populace which in Ekiti did not make my interest in the candidates of both PDP and APC while am not a fan of politicians that cross carpet for political gains rather than stand on their rooted ideaology on developments. As I earlier discussed before the election, I wished both political parties came up with better, right thinking candidates.However, where does the dichotomy comes from in the Yoruba ideaology? To answer the question, I will do a brief on Asiwaju Tinubu's schemes which was driven with confidence and his own ,political sagacity rooted for the incunmbent governor as candidate of the APC against the resentment of a portion of his own party to have a primary election which led to the division in the rank of the party. The Tinubu factor was a step too far, how? the mentality and mindset of Ekiti have historical aversiveness against any too larger than life personality just like the Lord of the land played out by the Ibadan wishing to subjugate the Ekiti in the times of old,although we have to collectively credit the Jagaban of giving us Governor Fashola and others who have demostrated their intellectual capacity to deliver more than we have had in the past. Inthe same vein, Tinubu's presentation of Fayemi was received with sceptism by the populace which to them was a go slow man. Fayose was a people's man, he was a grassroot politician, he understood the people and he came down to the level of the rural people but Fayemi, a well behaved, educated and highly enlightened man obviously belong to the elites whose program for the state was backed by his strong sense of exposure, it was a gap between him and the ordinary people , the gap Fayose simply filled. Another factor was the usual in the palm of my hand factor by the Tinubu camp just like the Ibadan cum Oyo undermined the people.While the Ekiti are hard core pro-Yoruba people and stubbornly so, they are very egoistical, the same with Ondo state indigenes. Similar to this mentality are the Ijesa which which made up the Ekitiparapo in the Kriji war. This is a gap Fayose(not PDP) explored and exploited to his advantage and he won. Which way Osun &2015? The story of Osun may not be the same because Aregbesola is also a grassroot politician and there is still the rather gentle Osun against the Ijesa who are similar to the Ekiti in bigger population(please my assumption). His performances also stand him in good position as against some flaws that created the gap for Fayemi like teachers and civil servants issues which he did not resolve on time and which he would have done within his first two years in office.Aregbesola has also touched the ordinary citizens through some jobs creation. About 2015 PDP should not jubilate as this will obviously make APC do a much better home work like fielding a Yoruba candidate from the Eastern end of the Yoruba country or proto-Yoruba candidate for the VP slot if it should choose a northern candidate. Ekiti generally are not pro-Jonathan but they do not embrace the North either. If their anti north mentality and ideaology are well exploited PDP could spring a surprise. Let it be known however that Ekiti people voted Fayose and he would have won on any political platform. What is the missing link? I wondered why EKITI I know would ever vote for a personality as controversial as Fayose who is being accussed of many finacial malpractices during his first term in office. The Ekiti, the land of HONOUR has seemed lost that honor to the popular Stomach infrastructure? All the home trainings and the open honesty of the state indigines are now questionable. Some 20years past, Fayose would not have won an election, something has gone wrong!! Ekiti people are arrogantly averse to dishonesty, cheating and any shadow of stealing or corruption.The question is Has politics change all those attributes? Maybe there are needs of the people not so clear to the elicit leaders like Fayemi but which a person in the elected governor Fayose can provide, Maybe the hike in school fees in the Universities across APC states(the people love free education or at least a cheap one),may be there is a need to do political research and consultation to reconnect the ordinary people to governance. It looks to me(personal ,opinion) that the Tinubu camp can reproduce a Fashola in Ekiti while looking at broading opportunities in the state and of course the entire Yoruba country in areas of job creation. The Yoruba country have a huge unemployed graduates and government should take actions to promote entrepreneurial spirits and make soft loan available. While I wish governor elect, Fayose well in delivering on ,his electioneering promises, I wish to see Ekiti that is focused and progressive.Before I conclude,let me state that the civil servants/teachers were the undoing of Fayemi who wanted to bring change by thinking outside the box but was too un-tactical to throw the box to his competitor!!! He wanted change but could not satiate the ever selfish political class and civil servants. Fayose should balance the two.I wish him the best. Meanwhile the dichotomy in the Yoruba mindset and mentality is open to be exploited by the smart or closed by the opposition party in the state, the APC. This is also a call to close rank in Ogun to avert another loss, Tinubu and Osoba should support Amosun to deliver more to the peolple and relegate power play for the good of their party and the citizens. This is a socio-phychological issue and must be considered well for the good of the Yoruba country. God bless Nigeria. |

This is just shallow and intellectually deficient. What has the dichotomy of Eastern and Western Yoruba ideology got to do with electioneering, and lack of foresight by peasant who only care about crumbs, than electing the right people? Is Edo also part of Western Yoruba? - so, how come their governor is part of APC? It has more to do with grassroots politics; telling the peasants who make up a large portion of electorates what they want to hear; the need for change; and the bigger spender. APC did itself no favours by being a party of elitists and extreme capitalists...and I believe the former governor never tried to bridge-the-gap during his tenure. He relied on the incumbent factor, and APC stronghold among Yoruba's, but ended up failing woefully. Please, delete the thread, bro. 1 Like |

We came into office and stayed faithful to our manifesto. We stayed faithful to our promise to our people. What we now see is an absurd conclusion that has been reached especially by the Peoples Democratic Party. The absurdity in this logic is that how do you say a governor who has performed and introduced a welfare policy, the first of its kind in Nigeria was rejected? As part of the policy of his party, he promised free and qualitative education and in the pursuit of that abolished schools fees, built new schools, paid teachers regularly but when the students were failing their exams decided to find out what was wrong. The administration introduced assessment examinations but the teachers purportedly don’t like this. If we accept this, we are going to enthrone a kind of government that will buckle under the whims and caprices of any pressure group, however, unreasonable their position may be. This to me is worrisome.-- APC 2 Likes |

Ikengawo: True but Tinubu can't be everywhere. Fayemi is closer to the Ekiti people and understand them better. As sophisticated as Lagos looks, grassroot politics is still played by Tinubu. Left to Fashola, APC would have lost there. Fashola and Fayemi are alike in many ways. |

Akanbi_edu: The Ekiti election has been, and will be, raising so many questions in the heart of many. While I have my reservations about the Fayemi administration, I believe the state deserves better than Fayose. 4 years is not long for us to know who did right or wrong. The state citizens do not have the right to complain about the affairs of the state, as they have made their choice in a clear-cut manner. I wish the governor-elect success in his incoming tenure, but I am not expecting anything stellar. As for the words in bold, I believe the associates at the government and party level didn't do much up to expectation, as they are the ones that are closer to the people more than the governor himself., so I put the blame on them. The party at the council level didn't do anything much at all, if I were to consider the distribution of money and other material things, and this indicates that we still have a long way to go if we want progress for our nation. |
Re: Ekitiparapo,the Dichotomy Of Yoruba Ideology by Ikengawo: 3:26pm On Jun 30, 2014 |
Akanbi_edu: i believe that. I also believe that Tinubu as former governor of lagos has a touch in that state that he doesn't have in ekiti because it's the core of this power. He has had almost a decade to mold Lagos politics in his imagine while in Ekiti he's a newcomer. Many APC states were PDP giveaways, and PDP is still strong enough in those states to take them back. Fayose is a grassroots guy like Tinubu and a 'thug' of sorts, the type that's successful in Nigerian politics, more so than a gentleman like Fayemi who was in large part made by Fayose and later linked with Tinubu if my sources are correct. APC is stronger in Osun than Ekiti and I think they'll win that state. Aregbesola plays the type of politics that could even see him succeed Tinubu in leadership of the region 1 Like |

What dichotomy are you talking about? The ekitis sold their future for a quarter bag of rice . It is this same refusal to imbibe the core omoluabi values which makes the ekiti diaspora to avoid the place like a plague. Fayemi came and made the place liveable just like amosun is doing in ogun state.This will automatically lead to more people visiting and even more investing at home. Alas,it is not good enough. ,the former way of 1Having beer parlour on every corner, 2goats ,dogs and pigs on the residential streets , 3 Okada drivers constituting a nuisance , 4 useless teacher/civil servant who go to work to trade rather than render services . Someone wrote something online and i agree . Fayemi should handover all the schools back to the missionaries . that way,you can start reducing the population of the stupid .

The logical consequence of this kind of thing is that in the future, governors might not even bother providing infrastructure, building capacity or improving the education system. If all he needs for re-election is to satisfy a vocal minority and put money in the pockets of a few people. This is what is most painful to us. However, I think we’ve been able to convince Nigerians that for us, politics is not a do-or-die affair; for us the will of the people is supreme.

I just cringe every time I hear the silly grassroots and closer to the people rubbish and how Fayemi goofed for not pandering. How do you work tirelessly for the same grassroots by giving them good roads to walk and drive on, infrastructures to better their lives and create jobs, give the old folks social security benefits every month unfailingly, making sure school students get quality education and credible teachers, strong and productive civil service. I mean, who stand to gain from a responsible and productive administration? The same grassroots right? The only interpretation here is the man didn't share the state's money with them, he speaks big English which is the lousiest absurdity because Ekiti is supposed to be Nigerian's fountain of knowledge and Education. They can not have it both ways, they can not in one breath yarn for development and at the same time want that development money in their pockets or in form of bags of rice and other crumbs. APC shouldn't compromise their standards no matter what, it's not by force to win elections. Fayemi not only performed, he performed honorable and effectively, that they can not take away from him.
