Pukkah:

Well, although your definition of a 'pro or core Nigerian' is not very clear but in which part of the country has such a man been accepted? North or East?

You may also want to shed more light on why OBJ is more 'pro or core Nigerian' than an Awolowo? By the way, where would you class MKO - 'pro or core Nigerian' or not and was he accepted in the West?

aze: OBJ is an Ømo ita. So he cannot be an Omo'lè

T9ksy: Both OBJoke and MKO would never be considered as “omoluabi” in the proper Yoruba cultural context hence when OBJ was jailed by his partners-in- crime, the yorubas didn’t shed any tears for him. They remembered how OBJ rigged the ’79 election in favour of his hausa/Fulani puppet masters.

Same thing transpired when Diya who comes from the same LGA in ijebuland as my good self was held on a trumped-up coup plot. Yorubas never forgot how he (diya) looked the other way as abacha-his boss, sent many Yoruba sons and daughters into exile or 6ft under.

Ditto, MKO who was neck in with the northerners in the late 70's and was actually vilifying the old sage to the great amusement and benefit of his northern allies but unfortunately our detractors who don’t understands us failed to appreciate what really transpired during the june 12th saga.Despite his magnamousity, MKO had trampled and rubbished the yoruba culture to the extent, he could not be placed in the same mould as an, "omoluabi". The yorubas weren’t exactly fighting for MKO per se but rather for the fact that, here was a man who majority of the populace voted for, to be their next president so no group of people(in the country)had the right to then arbitrally scuttle the election just ‘cause it didn’t fit in with their ulterior and sinister motive.

Its akin to how the yorubas fought for the drunken fisherman with no shoes during the “yar adua-can-rule-from-his coffin” shenannigan that saw turai relegating Badluck to her bag-lady.

It’s all about fairness and justice(to all)which forms part of the bedrock of the yoruba cultural identity and norms.

T9ksy:


Neither am i but yet can discern an "Omoluabi" when i see one.

ekt_bear: I like OBJ. But while his actions were probably good overall for Nigeria as a whole, I'm not sure they were great for Yorubaland specifically.

So, mixed feelings on the guy.
