T.R.I.P. Chronicle of Misconception of A People.

The Tiny Rant of Inconsequential Peasants has suddenly become worrisome.

I am no longer sure there are still good lawyers in Nigeria. Banditry is no constitutional issue, neither is kidnapping, agitations and series of other susurrus. They are purely criminal and legal matters. We were told and wrongly informed or misinformed that the spate of kidnapping in Nigeria was perpetrated by the unsophisticated members of the Fulani clan – a group so grossly bestialized brutalized and demonized, with mental abuse – are the ones behind all the nefarious activities and criminal acts of banditry. Meanwhile the only person caught till date for kidnapping in Nigeria happens to be an Evans. The kingpin of kidnapping. An Igbo man. Banditry and kidnapping in Nigeria is neither exclusive to a portion of the country, nor confined to any particular group in the country. A criminal act perpetuated by every tribe member that constitute the national space called Nigeria. It is all over the place in the country. More in the other parts than the Southwest. 300 students were taken from their dormitory in the North and has continued till date in that part of the country, with more students taken from their schools in Kaduna and other Northern states than any other section of Nigeria. Including, individuals and the nobles, such as Emirs from both individual homes and the palaces.

The 1999 constitution was a conjecture permutation and contraption designed and badly put together with the ingenuity insincerity and corrupt intentions of the military. Not the people’s constitution as proclaimed in the preface or opening of the falsehood called constitution. That, we should all agree to and take corrective steps to make it right with, constituent of our people to fashion a genuine and acceptable framework for our country.

The “Yoruba Nation” falsely alluded to by the illiterates and warped minds of our stock. They do not even realize or know the meaning and implications of the wrongly chosen slogan. What is a nation and what it should be, should have been the very basic definition for a meaningful agitation? The Yoruba stock is already a nation and asking for a Yoruba nation is an absolute insult to the collective and individual psyche of any Yoruba person. How on earth does anyone demand a nation for the Yorubas who were already created as such by the infinite wisdom of the creator. Yoruba is an established Nation, a national entity with natural identity. To demand an existing nation is outright stupid, not well thought out and or outward display of an endemic malaise of a jaundiced mentality.

The question needs to be asked.

WHERE DID THE YOURBAS CONGREGATED AND MET, WHERE WHEN HOW AND AT WHICH CONFERENCE WITH, TIME DID THE YORUBAS AGREED TO SECEDE AND OR, EXIT THE POLIICAL SPACE CALLED NIGERIA?

Our very confused rascals who wish to pass for agitators may have to answer the preceding poser. Consider the anthem put together by the twisted minds. “Bi a se bi eru la bi omo”. A conspiratorial slogan that betrayed the ill mentality of a confused few, which translates to no difference between a slave and the noble borne. Therefore, the question. Who is the prince Charles and who is a Kunta Kinte. Of course, their knowledge is constrained and confined into a limited space, provided they have any. In another clime, the birth of a noble is clearly different from that of a slave peasant and dregs of any society, or communal groupings. They can neither shed, nor divest themselves of congenital mental slavery passed down their linage. Of course, in another clime a peasant can rise to become a noble and create further line of nobility. That abounds with testimonies. Any discerning mind would see through this poorly veiled presentation for an Uprising of the downtrodden and self-tagged slaves who could not divest selves from perpetual slave mentality.

The Yoruba culture and language is rich in thoughtful sayings adages and proverbs, which when properly apply conveys meanings laden with, wisdom. Clearly any discerning mind with sane head can easily come to the conclusion that this is all about an unwholesome UPRISING of the peasants.

The self-professed slaves or, peasants lack the right perspective of the Yoruba tribe. Their sense of Yoruba history is in want of basic knowledge of scions of Oduduwa. Who descended unto earth in Ile-ife. He was reported to have met earlier settlers who accepted him for his very meek nature and by which he was entrusted and earned the mantle of leadership that was later bestowed upon him. Not ‘giragira’, or mob mentality, not senseless agitation with, false allegations. These abundant fools cite a ROT otherwise known as Kanu. The question needs to be asked since when did the Yorubas start taking instructions from any other tribe in Nigeria, let alone one that cannot tell his right hand from the left. Most insulting.

A Yoruba saying goes thus “Aje’gbodo n’wa eni kunra”. Which translates to the eagerness of a pariah with desperate need of an accomplice to drag down whilst he goes down, literarily translated. The Biafra elements remnants of a failed agitation and defeated uprising from the civil war that placed them in third rank after the war. A prominent promising clan with self- inflicted woes and tribulations who thinks that in order to regain such placing must sacrifice lure and if necessary, drag the people of the West into their thoughtless strife and skirmishes for them to rise back to the top

Take a good look at all the recalcitrant dregs of the Yoruba flock who rants for a meaningless nation. People who are outright hopeless with nothing to show and lose. For them all can go to flames since they do not have any stake in anything meaningful to offer in comparison to all who have built good lives and legacies for themself and generations to come. Heavens can crash on all, makes no difference to them. They have built nothing, and all things can go up in flames.

Come to think of it. The same dunce that wants and agitates for a wrong notion called “Yoruba nation” would still insult every Yoruba elder and traditional institution and curse every other person who neither alludes to, nor believe in the stupidity of a rustic mob mentality. Give power to these maggots, they will turn around to lord it over everybody in their illusory conclave of dead brains. These peasants are damn too HOPELESS, with despondence taking turn for compulsive repulsive mindset of a cesspit. To them it is total destruction or, nothing. They trample on our legacies, pee on our values and desecrate our culture. Yet, want us to take the stupid foul spews of defective craniums which lacks the normal white substance.

Prof. Banji Akintoye who lend credence to the peasants and slave thinkers. Though misplaced often cites the situation of Pakistan and Bangladesh. In his disingenuous rather uninformed and perhaps misperception of the example of India and the breakaways. The Baba professor forgot to tell his very dull followers that the two nations that existed India were never and still not better than their source and original link. Including nowhere on earth is any breakaway outgrows outshines and outweighs the source. Besides, all sections of the broken country usually agree to such misfortunes. So, it was in India the UK and the Soviet Union. The tripod that makes up Nigeria would have to agree to a collective decision to a referendum for a breakup, for it to happen. The moment one section opposes and or, expresses a dissent ends the ugly momentum for any secession by any section of the country. The recent example of the Catalans in Spain is a classic case for study. The British and the elements that makes the United Kingdom all agreed to a Scottish referendum to leave the kingdom, a fatal moribund exercise that ended up in futility, expectedly.

Let us take a critical look at the ill thoughts of dullards. What experience would they lay claim to and what arsenal do they possess to execute their moribund exercise which by the way is dead on arrival. Of course, they will point at the internecine wars, internal wrangling rustlings and skirmishes of the various clannish exercise of past Yoruba warlords. You will be inundated with flashes such as the Kiriji and Ijaiye wars, including Oke ogun. All in the series of inter-tribal misunderstanding amongst the same Yoruba people in same geographical locality. Local native wars fought with Dane guns cutlasses and perhaps hoes and native intelligence that would only work on fellow Yoruba persons since they share common blood lineage customs and tradition. The only war the Yoruba nation fought outside its’ confines might have been the Fulani Ilorin war where one Yoruba warlord invited the Fulanis for assistance and support against his own people. A faulty element of history which was recently debunked by Baba professor at a gathering somewhere, in recent times.

These disciples of mental banditry with demented psyche desecrates the Yoruba institutions, calling traditional heads unprintable names. Tramples upon fine meaningful Yoruba names and destroy the fabrics of inherent beauty of our nomenclatures. Sanwo-olu they labelled Sanwo-Iku, Sanwo-emi. They line up behind the awful ahistorical Biafra elements of the east to label Tinubu as Tinubu. Anyone who is opposed to their crass output who bears any linkage of the royal name “Ade”, they relabeled Ade whatever, such as AdeBuhari. Buffoons of the Yoruba tribe who over class selves as advocate and fighters for the people have committed several and series of sacrilege against the very essence and values, they misrepresent in all fashions, fabrics and custom.

The highest-ranking Yoruba man in government and second citizen by the virtue of his position in Nigeria. Professor Yemi Osibanjo they bad-mouthed and called useless spare tire.

IT SHOULD BE OF NOTE THAT, THE YORUBA MAN STOPPED CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO FROM THE PRESIDENCY OF NIGERIA. INCLUDING, CHIEF MKO ABIOLA ANOTHER PROMINENT YORUBA PERSON WHO GOT MOST VOTES, UNSUAL IN THE HISTORY OF ELECTIONEERING IN NIGERIA. RECEIVED VOTES ALL ACROSS THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL SPACE. AN UNPRCEDENTED FEAT IN THE POLITICAL ANNALS OF THE COUNTRY. THE HORIZON LOOKS GOOD FOR US CURRENTLY IN THE SCHEME OF POLITICAL MOMENTUM AND WE ARE ALMOST GOING TO JETTISON IT.

The futile agitation was fueled by senseless killings in the hinterland of the southwest, which by the way is not exclusive to the region. If the vain glory seeking self-acclaimed warlord wants to arrest the situation. One would expect that he heads to the bush where the culprits are located and where the imbroglio is very strife and rout out the criminals. Instead, he and his brigandage takes to the cities, far away from the scene of crimes to dance aimlessly noisily with nauseating intoxication and disrupt, including disturb others who are not party to the nonsensical idiocy of a bunch and an unwholesome mob.

Are there no more wisemen in the Yoruba flock such that toddler brains and dunces would hold sway and attempt to lead us astray. When did mediocrity championed by a mediocre become the bane of the most esteemed and prominent tribe in the sub-Sahara?
WHY ARE WE HELL BENT ON LEAVING OUR COLLECTIVE DESTINY IN HANDS OF CRACK HEADS WHO CANNOT TELL THEIR RIGTH HAND FROM THE LEFT.

We can agitate for a balance structure and self-determination like in the days of Western region. Secession is a waste of time a moribund and futile misadventure. It would take the entire nation called Nigeria to allude to a senseless rustling by a section, or region for her dissipation.
The Home Truth:

Every Nigerian is culpable in the perennial mess that has befallen the nation. Including the acclaimed sanctimonious Yoruba people. Also, collectively liable for the consequences therefrom. Every Nigerian made her what she is today. Not only the Fulanis.

Guess what, what has become all the legacies left behind by the late sage - Chief Obafemi Awolowo - such as the Cocoa house in I badan which has been left to rot away. When last did the elevator function in the magnificent landmark? What is the turnover of O’dua investment, currently? Does it even still exist. I want to be made to believe that the cocoa house and other failed O’dua investment property were mismanaged by the Fulanis. Recently, Lagos state had to be coopted into O’dua investment to make its survival stay afloat after maladministration by the Yorubas, The erroneously crafted master “Mismanagers”. How about the series of rubber plantations and farm settlements strewn all over the West? I guess they were all equally mismanaged by the people of norther extraction. Were we able to maintain the network of asphalt roads put in place by the exemplary mastery of a brain of a genius? and eminent Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Passing the buck of own failure and inadequacies to imaginary enemy. The insincerity of a people.

Mismanagement and maladministration are no preserve of any man and or, tribe. The government and administration of the people of the west, right from the office of governor and local governments to the wards lay squarely in the domains of the Yorubas. Yet, we still blame the Fulanis for our own self-inflicted misfortunes.

Baba, Professor Wole Soyinka made it clear in a recent interview that he is not for a breakaway. Rather, a perfect self-determination within the national geo-political space called Nigeria. Recall he once supported a secession attempt and fought on the other side. He has since learnt his lessons about the ugly consequence of such misadventure. He currently stands with and speaks the minds of million other legitimate sons and daughters of the Yoruba people. Including, the nobles. Excluding the ones devoid of the normal white substance headed for self-destruct.
Really, is it not appalling for a people made for prominence with superior acumen to continually allude to the mentality of a slave? The self-appointed agitators persistently claim to want freedom from a misperceived plantation called Nigeria. Only slaves think like one. Freeborns with preference for the label of a slave. Unimaginably distasteful.

Have we consulted our various oracles for a path forward, or are we no longer the Yoruba that is very rich in traditions and customs, with beliefs in our numerous deities and what have they instructed us to do about our destiny? Has the oracles instructed that we summit our fate and destiny to the whims and caprices of a misguided vain glory seeking few.

We have taken our ridicule to the global stage. We now lay a legless and unfounded case at the doorstep of the ICC and UNPO and place our hopes on statutory toothless bulldogs. The question I would ask is how the people are listed in the petition persecutors in their respective individuality and or, official state persecutors. How are the Yorubas persecuted in Nigeria. What evidence do they have to prosecute this wanton waste of time and energy? When did we start giving to frivolity embedded in levity? Unfortunately for the restless rustlers in our midst. The position of deputy, rather undersecretary of the UN is occupied by an able Fulani personality, currently.

What do we have on ground to actualize the better imagined fallacy designed for self-destruction? Can the architects of disintegration and misfortune guaranty that there would be no further breakaway from the desired vague republic? How are we sure Ijebu and Ekiti will not demand own republic at a later stage? Did I hear murmurs of “impossible”? I should then remind us about the various inter-tribal wars and skirmishes that occurred in time past. Internecine wars between people who identifies with common heritage and hold common progenitor. I sense series of uhm eh and silent sighs.

At various times in history. The Yoruba have played treacherous roles in undermining our chances at the most prized and coveted office in Nigeria. It was men of Yoruba Ijebu Ikenne primarily and the Yoruba people at large who supplanted the efforts of Chief Obafemi Awolowo from the presidency of Nigeria. Same Ikenne people were reported to have planted and informed security agencies about false nonexistent arms storage in his living compound in the town and plotted against his ambition to be president. Same was visited on and doused the very bright chance of Chief MKO Abiola whose capture and death in incarceration was well orchestrated by some Yoruba in devious collaboration with our enemies.

Some may argue the unfounded illogicality that northerners never intended conceding power to any ethnic group with the union. We are usually helping to act the script and playing our hands into such wrongful notion. Our actions and attitudes bolster the farce, should it ever exist.

These fake apostles of falsehood should tarry and think this through and over. The image and standing of Yoruba are at stake in a global scheme of things.

OUR ANTECEDENT IN POLITICS REEKS DISTURBING FOUL MEMEORIES.
