Yorubas Are The Problem With Nigeria – Sanusi Lamido Sanusi by Ladumaa: 3:10pm On Jun 15, 2021 |
Yorubas are the Problem with Nigeria – By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. i. The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics; ii. Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and iii. The Yoruba Factor and “Area-boy” Politics. The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention. For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals. the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys. iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution. this nation must realise that Igbos have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb. After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity. The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands of igbos have died and suffered If this issue is not addressed immediately, no debate will solve Nigeria´s problems.

That's true, indeed they are the problem of Nigeria because they see good and call it evil and vice versa. Most of them hates the truth. Yoruba's have the potential of being real unifying factor in Nigeria but for selfish reasons they can't be that. 9 Likes |

Seems like the Igbo are the problem too, and the Northerners as well, but it must be noted that he is talking about the Bourgeoisie, those we today might want to refer to as elites in any ethnic group. The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country. 2 Likes |

Nothing much to add. Nigeria didn't know at what point to stop their stupid mistreatment of the Igbo nation. Well this present generation of Igbos do not care about your history. There is nothing you will ever say about Sarduana, Nzeogwu, Ojukwu or Ahmadu Bello that would move us. 3 million souls are more than enough sacrifice. We paid our dues!!!! We are simply saying that 50years is enough time for Nigeria to move on, but in a case where it has become impossible then allow us to chart a fresh course for ourselves. Simple. 3 Likes |

Yes the yorubas are the problem of Nigeria because we go about like vagabonds with cows destroying lives and properties. We're the problem of Nigeria because we go to other regions to sell fake drugs and do crime....non yoruba's should boycott Yorubaland and go back to their region because yoruba are the problem of Nigeria as said by a deposed and disgraced emir living in exile in Yorubaland. Yoruba's need to start being the good of nigeria by copying sanusi's brothers who kill and destroy businesses of some certain group of people. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Yoruba Bourgeoisie laundered Buhari dead image and foisted him on Nigeria. I remember how their street urchins mocked Ndiigbo on NL following Buhari victory in 2015. Threads after threads were opened by the likes of Gbawe( who knows where he is these days, hopefully not outside NIGERIA) to gloat about Yoruba supposedly sophistication in dethroning GEJ and helping Buhari to power. How time flies. Let me go and look for one of those their post 2015 Buhari victory images and bump. Bunch of clowns. Now they are looking for who to do June 12 anti Buhari protest with them. 12 Likes |
