If Acting President Osinbajo Were Hausa Or Fulani... Yoruba Ronu It's Time To Go! By Bayo Oluwasanmi

When Muhammadu Buhari clinched the presidency, many Nigerians believed it was a year of a big, bloodless political revolution. But now we know this wasn't so much a revolution as a restructuring of the political order, a transfer of power from one elite to another, then the sort of bottom-up popular uprising that many Nigerians had in mind.

The economic melt down, unrest, protests, violence, the long intractable poverty, the sense of hopelessness and helplessness, the leadership vacuum created by the hospitalization of President Buhari, and the tyrannical abandon of problems facing Nigerians by the do-nothing National Assembly have spurred the long-dormant spirit of activism. The snowflakes, it seems, have whipped up a snowstorm.

Lately, Yorubas are being terrorized from all angles by the Hausas and Fulanis. The Fulani herdsmen are killing Yorubas like flies. Even the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo was not spared of the incursion of the Fulanis. He's being harassed, intimidated, insulted, humiliated, taunted, and turned into a ping pong ball by Aso Rock Hausa and Fulani cabals led by Bukola Saraki. The latest plot by Saraki and Aso Rock cabals published July 5, 2017, by SaharaReporters headlined “Aso Rock Cabal, Senator Saraki Commence Sabotage of Acting President Osinbajo As Buhari's Health Crisis Deepens” detailed how Saraki in an unholy alliance with other reactionary forces at Aso Rock plot to unleash tsunami of political upheavals to dislodge Osinbajo from assuming full presidential powers. On the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu, the EFCC Chair, the Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, said Osinbajo's statement on the issue didn't reflect the collective decision of the Federal Executive Council. Though, Malami had since denied the statement.

It bears repeating that were Osinbajo a Hausa or Fulani, he'll never have been subjected to such trauma and torture. It's troubling. It's dangerous. And it's saddening. What further evidence do we need that Nigeria isn't one country? What more reasons do we need to justify Yoruexit from Nigeria? It's in the best interest of Yorubas to start working on ways and means to disengage from Nigeria.

Like I have argued many times, it's too late to save Nigeria as is. In other words, the continued existence of Nigeria as one nation is beyond “restructure.” I believe the only way out for Yorubas is to hasten their exit from this hell hole called Nigeria. Anything short of that is unacceptable, unrealistic, and unworkable. We don't have to ask for anyone's permission to leave Nigeria. We don't have to wait for the primitive, decadent, hostile, system to evolve or for bad laws to change. In the best interest of direct action, we have to walk out of this pit of hell – now! The reckless political provocation by the Hausa and Fulani Aso Rock cabals should stretch Yoruba political imaginations. Yorubas are known to be tolerant, accommodating, liberal and refined. However, being reasonable and civilized should not be exploited by the Hausas and Fulanis. Of course, we have corrupt and selfish politicians among us. In the new Yoruba nation – Oduduwa Republic – We'll take care of the corrupt ones among us. We'll cut their wings. We'll tame them. We'll uproot them from our midst.

When we talk about secession, separation, call it any name, some Nigerians are uncomfortable acknowledging the contradictions, crises, and confusion in which a divided one Nigeria has been submerged for 58 years. When confronted with the reality of Nigeria's 58 years of misery, the apologists of one Nigeria have no cogent and convincing reasons other than tirade of trite cliches: “It's costly and destructive to break up,” “bigger is better,” there's strength in diversity,” “we cannot go it alone,” “we have much to lose than to gain.” And on, and on, and on. They conjure up these imaginary ghosts to justify the self-serving present. They forget we cannot erase or cover up the historical dystopian reality of Nigeria.

Why Yorubas Can't Wait

We waited 58 years hoping for miracles. It never came. Meanwhile, as we waited for a better Nigeria, things have gotten worse. Our education system once the envy of the world has been dismantled and mutilated. The curriculum has no content, no rigor, no substance, no value, no philosophy. It's an empty shell. As we waited, disparities in wealth increased with the looters prospering and the poor starving. The long running poverty slaughtered and uprooted as it were, the present generation and generations yet unborn. The persistence and prevalence of untamed corruption and infectious poverty daily consume our people. Inflamed ethnic rivalries and religious intolerance grow daily with intensity among the poor. It has fostered distrust and festered old ethnic prejudices.

As we waited, the excesses, evils, injustices, and wickedness of the ruling class have further chiseled the great divide between the haves and have nots and have collapsed our civilization and culture. Our society has been turned into a Hobbesian horror that a normal person must escape. An extended mediation of Nigerian maladies has turned citizens into a surviving appendage that begs for life support. As we waited, Nigeria remains a country of misery characterized by a rainbow of misadventures. The citizens of a country blessed with the world's most abundant resources live in one of the worst places on earth. The federal system of government has been rendered useless, ineffective and made impossible to work. It's a failure. It's a tombstone. It's fragile foundation built on a corrupt and deceitful Nigerian political model that doesn't make sense.

As we waited, Nigeria has turned into a jungle alien to rule of law, where might is right and where injustice reigns supreme. Nigeria provides a textbook example of a country being governed by fools, idiots, thugs, looters, and ignoramuses. These elected ruffians and con artists are the real enemies of our people. As we waited, Nigerian unskilled poor have exchanged rural poverty for even deeper miseries of the shanty towns with disaffection-filling movements. The swelling urban mobs, abductors, rapists, armed robbers, kidnappers, and hired assassins in the ghastly alleys of Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Kano, Benin, Otuoke, etc., are unchecked, disregarded, left to grow and fester.

You see, we've waited for 58 years. Every death hurts. Every impoverished Nigerian enrages. Every jobless Nigerian is a walking dead. The God given blessings for Nigeria are not shared or enjoyed in common. Justice, liberty, and prosperity are exclusive illusion of the poor. The sunlight that brought light and healing to the few, has brought stripes and death to our people. While the ruling class rejoices and relishes for one Nigeria, the poor are in perpetual mourning in the same country.

Can you hear the mournful wail of million of Yoruba youths whose lives are being wasted before our eyes and whose lives are being cut short by cheap preventable deaths? Can you see the bleeding of sorrow from Yorubas - the hungry, sick, helpless and hopeless children turned scavengers roaming the streets looking for food in the garbage dumpsters? Can you see Yoruba young girls turned prostitutes for lack of jobs and opportunities? Can you see Yoruba young men turned armed robbers as a result of being uprooted by poverty and precarious life? Can you see Yoruba gaunt, haggard looking senior citizens badly squeezed by hunger and disease and nowhere to turn?

Nigeria is false to the past. Nigeria is false to the present. Nigeria is solemnly binding herself to the false in the future. Nigeria is ruptured and fragmented. Lives of Yoruba people are split open like water melon ravaged by poverty served loosely together by jagged stitches of fear and insecurity.

Can you see the Yorubas...running helter-skelter from pillar to post … confused and in disarray, groping, gripping, dripping in the dark … See... Can you see...? Enough is enough. It's time to go!

"I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW,THE RAINS HAVE GONE..."

OR

"AFTER THE REAGEA,PLAY THE BLUES,THE BLUES,THE BLUES..."

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHA....

Go wia,hav u finished blaming Gej and nnamdi kanu?
Did u puppets and betrayers not stage protest on mallams' behalf @the US embassy against the Igbos' sueing the naija army?

Una never taya,oo,its one naijiriya for cone heads and mallas till lugard hears the trumpet sound. Chanji is here to stay. .......btw,u stubborn recalcitrant servant,will u go and lubricate that ausa 'discharging' hole!





now repeat after me:

"I PLEDGE AM TO NAIJIRIYA MY KWANTIRI,
TO BE PAITPUL,LOYAL AND HONEST,
TO SERVE AM FOR NAIJIRIYA WIT ALL OP MY STRENGTH,
TO DEFEND AM FOR HER UNITY,
AND UPHOLD AM POR HER HONUA AND GLORY,SO HELEP AM POR ME GOD"

-Yoruexit?
-But seriously most youruba people dey fall hand. What stops them having a Nation of their own, a people of over 30 million? Smh.

-I concur, the Nigerian political class have no capacity to build a Nation, let alone rehabilitate a collapsed multi-national country like Nigeria. That would be the biggest wonder of the world if they can achieve that. But it's too late now to even begin to attempt it. Let all Nations that wish to, go their way and determine their political status and therefore pursue their economic, cultural and social advancement. The world is not waiting by for anyone!

Rubbish! Come and be going. Who is even holding you?

Nobody is begging you to stay.

Hahahahaha...wonderful! Op cry me a river!

Did we not have it on good authority before the elections that Tinubu and Co knew buhary would definitely go the Yaradua way and Osunbande will become President to pave way for a Tinubu presidency? So you think foolanis would let that happen without putting up a fight? Aso rock politics is not same as south west politics.

MrHowto:

Be that as it may, you should remember that if not for yorrobbers, Buhari would never ever become president! These people you insult today, singlehandedly crafted and whitewashed this old sepulchre, cast a new robe on him, and screamed CHANGE!!! Show some respect!

If not for God Buhari will not be president not Yoruba. I can say also if not for Buhari Osinbanjo will not become an acting President even when Buhari is on medical trip.

The entire Yoruba vote can be equated to Kano vote and some small addition. 45% of them still voted for GEJ. The records are there.

If your assessment is based on votes alone, then I am sorry. I never mentioned votes cast in my post.

If you're talking of 25%. No region can win election alone but you cannot be acting foolishly using media to create cabals and hypocrisy theories like say they dash the presidency to the north.

Apart from the northern state, APC had 25% in Edo and Imo.

If you want to play dirty in using derogatory statement, I am also good @. You better learn how to use the red sense organ in your mouth.

The old Buhari was widely accepted in the noth any day anytime. So tell us how he was whitewashed? The majority of the vote still come 4rom the north. So tell us how he is unelectable?


He can only be whitewash for the few Yoruba vote which is not even sincere but for the opportunity to grab @ the V.p sit 2 avoid further marginalization from GEJ.

Your Buhari should have stayed in CPC and let's see how he will become the President.

The same Buhari that lost to GEJ in 2011 elections.

I don't Blame you, I Blame some SW folks who always follow the North up and down.

Bunch of ingrates.

But you all said he was so popular and no other candidate would beat him in the north? But then, to what do we owe this over flog? Is this all in a bid to deemphasize Tinubu's political sagacity?

Bulhari competed with Shekarau, nuhu ribadu and others and gej was not really known to be a pig as at that time

Really, please please who're the fellow Abbokkis he contested against in 2003?

Duh,

GEJ won 2011 because of a United South, even when Tunde Bakare and Soyinka was fighting him everyday before the election.

Remember, Nani Ibrahim Ahmad and Ganiyu Galadima also contested 2015 elections against Buhari.

The North can never win any presidential election if the South is United.

Just reading the comments above.

See, quit kidding! Prior 2015, buhary was only popular among almajiris, if not for Tinubu, I repeat if not for Tinubu's involvement, buhary would go to the grave with his ambition! Remember he wept on international TV when he realized how hard it was for him to break through and swore never to try again. You can deny Tinubu's immense contributions if you wish, but it won't change the truth.

stop fooling yourself abeg. Jonathan was not a well known thief then and Boko Haram wasn't in existence. The number of northern candidates affected the unity of the North. tinubus involvement wasn't as important as you think although I respect the man.
