State Of The Yoruba Union by tpia5: 8:58am On May 07, 2011
what is the current state of the Yoruba union because the way i see it, there are far too many souls within who have only one goal, which is to hand-deliver yorubas, to the highest bidders.


i do not think our forefathers [or the british colonials] were wrong when they decentralised the administrative function and bolstered [to some extent] the self government and self determination of the various groups which make up the southwest. That way, one region would find it more difficult to impose on the others at least militarily if not politically.


Given the rampant activities of slavers at the time, who roamed everywhere and penetrated even to the furthermost villages in every region, i see the reason why it was necessary to keep people on their guard.

now, i've noticed quite a few of our "brothers" tend to have no ultimate vision beyond selling yorubas to different purchasers.

for some, it's benin, for others, its whites, ghana, arabs, etc.

now, what exactly is the gain here, assuming you really believe in what you're doing.

is this promoting infrastructural development and good governance or is it simply a way to line your pockets with filthy lucre or to shine your overbloated ego.

wrong and useless threads

how can anyone hand over yorubas to the highest bidder?

there will always be yorubas who disagree, leaders who fall from grace or different political parties with different interest.

so what is your problem?
