Osu exists only in iboland. Whenever they leave iboland they usually don't look back. So, when they find a nice comfortable place they would rather die there than to return home.

Something Strange Is Happening In The Southwest bycode11(m): 7:40pm

Something Strange Is Happening in the Southwest

By Azuka Onwuka

The killing of the early morning street evangelist, Mrs Eunice Olawale Elisha, in Kubwa, Abuja two weekends ago was the final point that made me conclude that something strange and inexplicable has happened to the Yoruba in the past one year.

Two Saturdays ago, The Punch broke the news that Mrs Elisha, wife of Pastor Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, left her home around 5.30 a.m. with a megaphone to preach in the neighbourhood as she did every morning. But she never returned. At first the report was that she was butchered, her head cut off and placed on top of her Bible. But later the story from the police was that she was killed but was not decapitated.

It was a shock to the nation, especially coming a month after a woman in Kano State and a man in Niger State were killed for religious reasons.

But the greater surprise came from the Southwest. There seemed to be an understanding reached by Yoruba not to discuss the killing of Mrs Elisha, a fellow Yoruba, in the Northern city of Abuja. Posts and radio comments about her death were systematically avoided by many Southwest people. Rather many Southwest people were busy discussing Cristiano Ronaldo and Euro trophy or the trial of Senate President, Bukola Saraki. By midweek, the focus shifted to Senators Dino Melaye and Oluremi Tinubu and the transition in the United Kingdom. Some women even embarked on street protest over the allegations that Senator Melaye used some strong words against Senator Tinubu. The same week a Nigerian woman (specifically a fellow Yoruba woman) was slain in Abuja simply for preaching in her neighbourhood and it was treated as if it was of no consequence!

Before Elisha’s killing, similar things had happened that surprised me. First was the 22nd anniversary of the June 12 election last year. I was in the Southeast and Port Harcourt that period. So I could not certainly gauge the way June 12 anniversary was marked in the Southwest. But I read the papers, watched the TV and monitored the online media. It was clear to me that there was a lull in the remembrance. But coming about two weeks after the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari, I felt maybe the Southwest was still engulfed in the euphoria of being instrumental to the emergence of the new government.

But when June 12 came this year and went by without any fanfare in the Southwest, I was puzzled. Since 1999 when democracy returned in Nigeria, there had been an argument, championed by the Southwest, that June 12 rather than May 29 should be observed as Democracy Day, because it was the day in 1993 when “true democracy” was instituted in Nigeria. All Southwest states declared June 12 a public holiday and held elaborate parades and rallies, and made memorable speeches about June 12, democracy and the sacrifice of Chief MKO Abiola.

As if that was not enough, on July 7, which was the death anniversary of Abiola, it was all silence. Unlike in the past, what I saw was a team led by Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu and Dr Joe Odumakin, laying a wreath on Abiola’s grave this year. During the anniversary of the killing of Kudirat Abiola on June 7, it was the same attitude. None of the Southwest leaders identified with the ceremony.

That was not all.

In March there was an ethnic clash between the Yoruba and Northerners at the Mile 12 market in Lagos. It got the same treatment of silence.

In May there was a report that some herdsmen invaded a village in Ekiti State and killed two people. It was also all silence in the Southwest. The Southwest, however, found its voice when a day later the governor of Ekiti, Mr Ayo Fayose, in his exuberant and dramatic fashion, addressed the hunters in the state and urged them to shoot anybody who tried to attack the state again. Many Southwest people descended on Fayose: the same people who kept quiet when a Southwest state was invaded and some fellow Yoruba people killed!

The same scenario has played out on the lopsided appointments made by Buhari. In private discussions, you could hear the anger of Southwest people over the skewed appointments, but there seems to be an unwritten code not to raise it in public discussions.

However, the one that has been most prominent is the issue of restructuring of Nigeria. For many decades, especially since the callous annulment of the June 12, 1993 election by General Ibrahim Babangida, supported by General Sani Abacha, the battle cry from the Southwest has been “restructuring and true federalism”. Till they died, Chief Michael Ajasin sang it, Chief Abraham Adesanya chanted shouted it, and Chief Bola Ige amplified it. When democracy returned in 1999, Chief Bola Tinubu never made any speech without mentioning restructuring. Mr Babatunde Fashola, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, Dr Kayode Fayemi, Prof Yemi Osinbajo and others from the Southwest said repeatedly that without restructuring, Nigeria would not progress. I agreed fully with them.

But then came May 29, 2015 and Buhari and Osinbajo were sworn in as President and Vice President, with Fashola and Fayemi as minsters, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila as Majority Leader at the House of Representatives and Aregbesola and others as governors. The issue of restructuring has been met with silence from the Southwest leaders and followers, especially in the ruling All Progressives Congress. Only the voices of members of the Afenifere like Mr Yinka Odumakin, Senator Femi Okurounmu, Chief Ayo Adebanjo are still heard consistently asking for restructuring of the federation or implementation of the decisions of the 2014 national conference.

One would think that having come into power, the Southwest leaders of the APC would be in a vantage position to initiate the process of restructuring the federation, given that it is in the APC’s manifesto. But the new argument now is that restructuring is not the most pressing issue now; that the country needs to be stabilized first. What a lame excuse! Hitherto, the argument was that the country was unstable because of lack of restructuring.

What is difficult to understand is what led to this new belief in the Southwest that complaining about the killing of a fellow Southwest person is tantamount to opposing the government led by Buhari and Osinbajo. Definitely, there is no connection between the two. It is said that it is only a very close person that can tell you that you have mouth odour. It does not mean hate or opposition.

Nigeria has been ruled from independence by people with hearing problem. You need to shout for them to hear. When about 500 were killed in Agatu, Benue State in February, the government said nothing. But when Ukpabi-Nimbo in Enugu was invaded April, there was an uproar. And for the first time, the presidency commented on the menace of the Fulani herdsmen.

Similarly in late May, four people were killed in Niger State for alleged blasphemy against Islam. Not much was said about it. A few days later an Igbo woman was killed in Kano over the same blasphemy against Islam. Hell was raised. The presidency, Kano State government and the police reacted, announcing that the perpetrators had been arrested.

In addition, many girls had been reported to be abducted and forcefully converted to Islam. It was when Ese Oruru’s case was raised to a high pitch in March that she was released to her parents. Other girls in the same condition were also released.

These issues did not show any opposition to Buhari, Islam or the North. Such uproar was raised when a political billboard that read “Bring Back Our Goodluck” appeared in Abuja: a parody of Bring Back Our Girls. Dr Goodluck Jonathan ordered the board to be brought down. It was raised when Chief Olusegun Obasanjo seized the official vehicles of his estranged Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The vehicles were immediately released.

Some Southwest people may get indignant and call for my hide. But I have bought myself a body armour and helmet from Hephaestus, stronger than the one he made for Achilles for the Trojan War. If I could write that the Yoruba are the No 1 in the world in religious tolerance and write other similar positive analyses about the southwest and they sounded good in the ear of every Southwest person, it should also not be out of place for me to raise questions when something strange is happening in the Southwest.

The Yoruba are not known to keep quiet in the face of injustice or aberration. I don’t know what has happened in the Southwest. If anybody knows, please let him enlighten me.
