Still basking in the euphoria of the recent recommendation of chief Gani Adams as the new Generalissimo of the Yoruba race,a title that has been left vacant since the demise of the previous holder,there have been various speculations as to the motives behind such a decision by the Alaafin of Oyo.Perhaps we should take into retrospect some of the Socio-political and economic afflictions currently bedeviling the nation coupled with the circumstances that might have led to the ultimate decision.


The ship of the Oodua Peoples’ Congress, the Yoruba militia group in times past,have been rocked severally by turbulent waters,owing to the apathy within its chambers of leadership.Nevertheless,before the axe wielders and gunners began their battle from within,it should be noted that,the sole aim for the existence of the OPC was born out of immense pressure on the part of the Yorubas to reinstate the lost mandate of the June 12 1993 election,checkmate the megalomaniacs in the north and,establish a militia organization which is to be responsible for the defense and continuity of the Yorubas in Nigeria.Thus,its birth in the year ‘94 by Dr Frederick Fasheun.


Furthermore,ever since its inception in 1994,it has aggressively pursued the interest of the Yoruba race in Nigeria without prejudice as to the politics been played by renown Yoruba personalities therein.It became a watchtower for the Yorubas and a rallying point which harbored intellectuals and scholars from all spheres to its cause.Perhaps,along the line,its activities became too politicized,soft and,weak to some of its members hence,the birth of a splinter faction in ‘99 with its leader as Gani Adams.



Although,popularly viewed as a rebel,Chief Gani Adams had always insisted on the need for the Yorubas to be self-governed in a country of their own.He had always voiced his displeasure on the way and manner in which the Yorubas were treated,especially on their own soil.Perhaps,his altruistic part got the better of him when he carved out a more goal oriented faction which has,over the past few years,proven its potency in regards to the security of lives and properties of the Yorubas in the South-Western parts of Nigeria.Today,we can virtually see a handful of the OPC men in every corner of every street in every states within the Yorubalands.


Nevertheless,one should behold the fact that the operations of the Gani Adams and OPC as a militia group itself juxtaposes the already constituted security apparatus found within Nigeria.Lest we forget,the group was created as a militia wing of the Yorubas in retaliation to the June 12 annulment and the misanthropic military regime that followed.Also,it should be noted that the OPC can be categorized in same league with the likes of the late Major Adaka Boro’s Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF) which declared an independent republic of Niger Delta on the 23rd of February 1966 consisting mainly of the Ijaw ethnic groups and, the Movement of the Emancipation of the Niger Delta(MEND).These groups had two things in common;the radical struggle against the inequality and oppression of their people and,the agitation for an independent separate region or country of their own.


A major question now on the lips of critics is why would an apex monarch hand-pick a leader of a militia group for the post of Generalissimo of the entire Yoruba race,despite his knowledge on the secessionist activities of this person of interest.The dreaded post of the Aare Ona Kakanfo since time past,has been a title reserved for the fiercest warrior within the Oodua lands.Centuries ago,we had seen the likes of Afonja of Ilorin,Kurunmi of Ijaiye and,Latoosa of Ibadan grace the title of the Generalissimo with the task of protecting the empire and the entire Yoruba race;a duty they perfectly dispatched before their shortcomings and eventual downfall.Although,critics would argue that the birth of the 20th century redesigned the title into a ceremonial one as manifested by the two previous holders namely Ladoke Akintola of Ogbomosho and Moshood Abiola of Abeokuta,but the recent inclusion of Chief Gani Adams into this circle of Generalissimos in this present century,may totally eclipse the ceremonial notion.


As it stands now,Nigeria as a country,is under a sociopolitical,economic and ethnic siege,whereby its coffers is being vandalized tremendously by pseudo-leaders coupled with the niggardliness of the government towards the well-being of its citizens.Also,Politicians in a bid to hold-on or retain power,feed the populace with strong fermented illusions of an ideal society,so conk and addictive,it intoxicates the electorates into casting votes for the "wolves in sheep clothing" thus,the drunken populace wakes into a devious hangover and cataclysmic reality of a unanimous miscalculation on their part,as a result of the treachery and stratagems employed against them by the political maestros.At such time of despair,the masses no longer put their trust in their leaders,but find solace in charismatic individuals and groups who,tactically maneuver into their consciousness,wet dreams of an Utopian society.Who would blame Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB for their incessant quest for a separate ethnic independent country;Biafra,or the Niger-Delta Avengers for their call for an equally separate nation or most importantly,who would blame the Yorubas if they decide to look upon Gani Adams and the OPC to pull them out.


Furthermore,with the frequent call for the re-introduction of true federalism and regionalism,ironically,the powers-that-be still deem it fit to maintain the current status quo either,for personal greed or other ulterior motives unknown to the populace,with incoherent reasons as justification for their actions.Some of these reasons have been linked to tribalism due to the hegemonic traits found in a particular region.Who would blame the populace for plying the route of tribalism,when some of the politicians and leaders in times past,have laced the atmosphere with poisonous ethnic propaganda so contagious and odoriferous,its after-effect and stench still oozes from every ethnic corner of the federation.Who would blame the various ethnic groups for harboring a tremendous amount of hatred against each other,while the real enemy advances slowly upon the Southernlands,like the biblical seven-headed beast with ten horns from the book of Revelations,with an intent to destroy.


Conversely,the rising notion of a referendum to decide the fate of the nation by the people also has fallen on the deaf ears of the people in power.These attitude of the Government towards its people have accelerated the masses interest and participation in terms of the activities of the various rebellious secessionist groups.Nevertheless,such audacious acts and uprising by the public have constantly been met by a brute and deadly armed force as seen in the recent military campaign against the ill-equipped IPOB secessionist group led by Nnamdi Kanu;this is to reaffirm their intention to maintain the current scheme of things.How long will it take again before a well equipped and organized group rise up against the tyranny of the government.


Moreover,if we throw a critical look at the list of the Aare Ona Kakanfo title holders in Yorubaland,one could deductively identify a constant and dominant trait within these men of valor;which is their very stubborn and rebellious personalty which more than often leads them to their graves.In fact,ninety-nine percent of them had died during violent upheavals majorly as a result of their doings or undoings.Even the ceremonial non-combatant ones of the 20th century were not found wanting in the bloodbath as they also danced merrily to the tune of death through violent means.These men were tasked with the responsibility of defending the Yorubas from external threats,and also commanded to go to war at least once every three years.We are talking about a man with the entire armed forces of the Yoruba race at his behest.Now we have a certain Gani Adams from Akoko in Ondo State who, prior to his conferment as the Field-Marshal of the Yoruba race,was a leader of a well organized Militia wing. Moreover,a natural born leader,Gani Adams himself is an exemplary warrior who has the loyalty and allegiance of the OPC,the militia wing of the Yorubas.A very rebellious person in nature and has proven this many a time even without the dreaded 201 incisions that comes with the title of the Generalissimo.Its a perfect example of a round peg in a round hole.Ironically,he is a man who perfectly fits the role of the great warlords and his conferment came at a time in which the various ethnic nations are agitating either for a separate region or an independent country.These itself has not gone unnoticed by the central power as they themeselve are quietly examining the possibility of a cataclysmic clash.


Whether or not the Government succumbs to the demands of the masses,one thing is definitely sure;chaos,and it would be at the doorsteps of the Yorubas sooner than we think whether we decide to come to terms or not with reality.Whether we view this theory as a possibility or hoax,we should not forget that not even a single one of his predecessors had lived a life free from chaos and upheavals which not only affected them,but engulfed the entire region.The Yorubas have taken the path of peace ever since the end of the 16yrs war which ravaged the region during the twilight of the 19th century.Even when their sons Akintola and MKO Abiola were killed respectively during their time,they maintained a philosophy of peace.Over the years,they have taken the role of skeptics,examining the various agitations of various groups in regions within the country and,they have remained indifferent to them,hoping the leaders would come to reason with the request of the masses.At this point in time,we can only pray and hope that Nigeria does not run out of diplomatic options with its ethnic nations especially now that the Yorubas have started clamoring for a regional form of Government,due to the incessant fatal inward surge of the Fulani herdsmen and the hypocritically suspended RUGA masterplan of the presidency.How long will it take the Government to heed to the warnings written allover such agitations.A war with the Igbo race might have little or no economic impact on the country,but a war with the Yorubas would not only mean the end of all economic and financial activities within Nigeria,but a looming Armageddon that would forever shatter sub-Saharan Africa and the black world.To my fellow Yorubas;brace yourselves,winter is coming
