RUDOLF OKONKWO • APRIL 18, 2021

The greatest thing Nigerians accomplished in the last thirty years was electing Muhammadu Buhari as president. If he had lived and died without being president, no one would push back when politicians fall over themselves to deliver tributes and call him the greatest president that Nigeria never had.

After six years of Buhari’s administration and with only two more years to go, all is settled about the rhymes and stanzas of Buhari’s elegy. Some thirty years from now, people will stone anyone who attaches “greatest ” to any tribute at Buhari’s funeral.

You may ask if anything is worth the cost of having Buhari as president?

Before you do, there is another reason why his election was the greatest accomplishment of the Nigerian electorate in the last 30 years. If Buhari had not been president, if his incompetence had not been exposed to the uninitiated, Nigeria would have continued its zigzag path. The one-step-forward, two-steps-backwards trajectory would have continued unabated.

Thus, Buhari helped the unrestructured Nigeria to confront its foreseeable future. That is Buhari’s first legacy.

Here is Buhari’s second legacy: It may not be clear yet to the Fulani people, but Buhari’s presidency has damaged them more than any other group in Nigeria. Buhari’s inability to have an objective view of what leadership entails in a diverse country like Nigeria and his propensity to side with his Fulani people even when every donkey could see the bias undermined the Fulani deeply. He diminished whatever legitimate claim they have in what is clearly a fast-moving degenerative Nigeria’s structural carnage. The Fulani were better off in Nigeria six years ago than they are today. That is Muhammadu Buhari’s second legacy.

In the context of Nigeria’s nationhood, Buhari’s second coming was a necessary evil: He came, he saw, and he hastened its ruination for everyone.

If Buhari had not been president, Nigeria would have been ‘managing.’ The Peoples Democratic Party of Goodluck Jonathan and Sambo Dasuki and Diezani Allison-Madueke would have been paying Dangote to rob Otedola, even as the country continued the slide down the valley of death. Buhari accelerated the collapse by taking the country on a bungee jump down the deepest part of the valley using a frayed rope.



The rope is breaking. Anyone with functioning ears can hear the splitting threads from miles away. High above the deepest part of the valley, Nigeria barely holds on to Buhari’s back. Two things will happen: Either Nigeria loses its grip on Buhari’s back and falls into the valley of death, or the rope rips and both Nigeria and Buhari plunge down the valley. Either way, death is the expected end.

The only miracle on the horizon is to get Nigeria to a place where it cannot fight the Igbo and the Yoruba nations simultaneously.

In a one-on-one fight, Nigeria may defeat any of its components. Nigeria may defeat the Igbo. Nigeria may run over the Yoruba. Nigeria may crush the Ijaw, the Ibibio, the Tiv, the Ijaw, the Kanuri, the Fulani, the Bachama, the Idoma, the Urhobo, etc. Nigeria cannot defeat the Igbo and the Yoruba at the same time. In a fight between Nigeria on one side and an Igbo-Yoruba alliance on the other, many ethnic minority groups will take the side of the alliance.

Whether the fight is in the physical or spiritual realm, whether it is in the democratic realm or the ideological realm, Nigeria has no chance of winning a fight against the combined forces of the Igbo and the Yoruba. For a table with three legs, one leg has no chance of keeping the table standing when the other two legs take a knee. The Igbo and Yoruba need to take a combined knee. That is the ultimate way to shake the table called Nigeria.

Nigeria needs to get to a point where it faces the prospect of fighting a united Igbo and Yoruba power. It needs to happen now. That reality needs to be clear, concrete, and ironclad. It is the only magic wand that can save Nigeria.

Is it easy to achieve? No. Is it possible? Yes.

What will it take to get Nigeria to that place where it risks fighting the Igbo and the Yoruba simultaneously?

The way to achieve this is for the Igbo and the Yoruba to embrace Thomas Jefferson’s greatest philosophy. The man who drafted the U.S. Declaration of Independence said, “I admire the dreams of the future more than the history of the past.”



The Igbo and the Yoruba must admire the dreams of the future more than the history of the past. They must do it not just for their children’s children but also for all those children from East to West, North to South, trapped in prisons of mediocrity and death, which are the only gift of an unfair, unjust, and dysfunctional Nigeria.

The Igbo and the Yoruba owe this to future generations of the people currently trapped in Nigeria. It is their responsibility. Posterity will blame the Igbo and the Yoruba in Nigeria if they fail to catch the wave. Thanks to Buhari’s misadventures, the awareness of today is total and overwhelming. Severe penalties await the Igbo and the Yoruba if they fail to act now and free unborn generations from the manacles of Buhari's misadventures.

It's unfortunate that this is all you can think of on this thread but it's not .surprising thinking of where you are coming from every sane person would have digested it first and see if there are some truths in what the op said but you,,,,, ANYWAYS, it takes brains to digest things and it looks like you r brain have failed to mature even at the age of 58, only simple and little minds see everything from ethnic and tribal points even as death and perpetual death and slavery is staring them in the face, and a man and a woman used thier sweat to pay school fees for you, what a wasted effort and money, may GOD console them, that is if they were not the ones that put you in this shameful part, SORRY

From the write up it then means that the strength of the Fulani's is because of the lack of unity between igbo and Yoruba.

The present day Igbos think Yorubas are dumb to be f0oled by Igbo propaganda.
Fulani will forcefully invade your lands and destroy things, Igbos will claim your land is a no man's land but won't allow anybody call their own enclave no man's land.
Are those the kind of people anyone should want unity with?

Which one is Igbo and Yoruba? Which stupid alliance is he talking about?

'Oceania is currently at war with Eastasia it's has always been at war with Eastasia it's ally is Eurasia'

Fulani we have heard you but the truth is that any day the Igbo and Yoruba decides to set their difference aside your power automatically diminishes

You're the ones scared to face your oppressors.. you're looking for Yoruba gboromiros to be speaking out on your behalf while your useless leaders continue to look on as you lots get killed.

News flash.. oju ti la. Now it's all man for himself. Carry your cross while I carry mine.

Can you carry your cross mister Fulani without the millions of Hausa kids that you turned to almajiri?

Deep thoughted article.It is obvious that the final disintegration of this forced but failed contraption of a country called Nigeria have been accelerated by the unmitigated disaster called Buhari.

no difference between Fulani and Igbo, only that Igbo are still exposed than Fulani, they're both land invaders and forcing to grab what's not theirs, they're both religion extremist



while Igbo overzealousness can be checkmate, Fulani overzealousness can't because of this present govt back up.



as Igbo are forcing south south to form alliance with them politically and pulling out of Nigeria because of their resources, is the same way Fulani forced alliance on Hausa years back because of their population which is the political power they're using to dominate and decide for Nigeria till date



Yoruba and south south are at the receiving ends of these wild people, so in this case Yoruba have to be politically smart
