Safe trip

Liberation in life is total submission to the Will of Allah (SWT), may Allah (SWT) make it easy to listen to our leaders and give us good leaders. In addition, May Allah (SWT) guide President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo on the right path to development of this country.

Barka Jumah.

phabulux:
Well, aare, let me put it this way: hit LIKE if you think aare07 does not have an iota of number six. Hit SHARE if you think he does.

Do you honestly think APC can win a house headship in Bayelsa if it's up for a contest or were you hungry for those likes and shares?

AARE HAS IOTA of Number 6 because for development to come in any society, there must be change. APC represents CHANGE needed in the state

With this PDP action, With total sense of responsibilities, PDP lacks the capacity to act as opposition party in this country. Therefore, Nigerian Youths stand up against any form dictatorship ( either APC or PDP)


Youth 4 progressive Change.
Youth hit the ground running.
Nigeria should move.

Hit LIKE for PDP to emerge as the winner in the Dec. 5 election.

Hit SHARE for APC to form the next government in the state.

My cutting rejoinder to Femi Fani-Kayode's "Nigerian President or King of the North?"
The statements credited to Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sir Tafawa Balewa and Aliyu Gwarzo, in your article, were statements made in support of self-preservation of the Hausa/Fulani people of Nigeria. In the United States of America, white Americans have been credited with such views too. Also, during the May 2015 general elections in the United Kingdom, the English, led by Prime Minister David Cameroon and the Mayor of London, Mr Boris Johnson, brought forward a valid argument as to why the English electorate must not vote for the Labour Party. According to the duo, the Labour Party will form a coalition government with the Scottish National Party, both will then hold the income generated in England and use same essentially for the benefit of the Scottish people first and foremost. The argument swayed several English voters. They voted massively for the Conservative party. There was element of self preservation in that argument.
The Hausa/Fulani, the white Americans and the English are very astute when it comes to self preservation of their people first before all others. This is one thing the Yoruba people lack. They have no sense of self preservation.
I disagree with your view that fairness and equity in the distribution of national resources and "key government appointments" are a fundamental pre-requisite for peace, security and national unity in our country. This is a very dangerous thing to say, leading people to believe that if we just switch from Jonathan to Buhari, therefore the imbalance in social and economic development will disappear. It will not disappear.
How does Buhari’s victory increase the welfare of the Yoruba people? The Yoruba welfare will be improved not by appointing Fashola, Fayemi and or Abike Dabiri as Federal Ministers and or Ambassadors, but by concrete policies that would uplift their lives.
Restructuring of Nigeria along the path of parliamentary system that will ensure a return to regional autonomy in which 90% of the revenue generated in the Yoruba South-West region will be reinvested into the Yoruba economy will increase the welfare of the Yoruba citizens and residents in Yorubaland.
In fact, our concern should not with Buhari's government key appointments, which has Buhari as the president and several other Hausa/Fulani in powerful political positions, but how does the position of Prof. Osinbajo, the Vice-President guarantee the retention of the wealth generated in Yorubaland to remain in Yorubaland and not to be utilised to fund growth in Buhari’s North-West?
Of course, there are Yoruba-APC millionaires in big cars and large houses. Is it the answer to make a few Yoruba appointee millionaires with big cars and large houses? That is what APC's change means. But how does that resolve the ground problem of economic injustice where Yoruba’s wealth and resources fund economic growth and development in Buhari’s North?
If we delude people into thinking that they are poor because of the lack of key appointments for Yoruba-APC members in Buhari's government or because Jonathan’s corrupt -where are we going to end up?
Indeed, many Yorubas are poor and miserable because the wealth and resources generated in Yorubaland go to Abuja to fund the lifestyles of politicians and to provide economic growth and development in the North. This must be changed peacefully or through a war.
This is the problem with the Yoruba. You know it and I know it. We have known it for a long time. We are a unitary state and unitarism in a multicultural country is out of date.
Unitarism is on the way out but is not moving fast enough. The Yoruba Youths intend to give unitarism a final push and sink it for good in Nigeria. But unitary system alone is not our enemy. Our enemy is the evil that unitarism brings.
Unitary system is the rock on which Hausa/Fulani oligarchies, their Yoruba collaborators, and neo-colonialists build their houses at the expense of the Yoruba and the people of the Niger Delta. Unitary system corrupts because quite a lot of them can do very nicely for themselves and their states under the system.
Now we all know that there is something wrong with the unitary system in Nigeria, when the Yoruba, the economic backbone of Nigeria, cannot meet up its responsibilities. But for the past 10 months that Aregbesola has been unable to pay the Osun State's workers salaries, Yoruba's money continues to fund the economic growth and development in the Hausa/Fulani region of Nigeria. Money from the Nigeria Customs Service; the Federal Inland Revenue Service; the Nigeria Ports Authority; the Central Bank of Nigeria; the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency; and the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation.
Unitary system maintains the North by using the wealth and resources of the Yoruba and the Niger Delta regions to support growth in the North, ostensibly aimed at reducing the Yoruba to mere slaves.
What do we complain about? That we are governed by Hausa/Fulani from the North. That the Hausa/Fulani, are able to come to Yorubaland with Federal Inland Revenue Services to collect our Personal Income Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Withholding Tax, Capital Gain Tax, Education Tax, National Information Technology Tax, Petroleum Profits Tax, Value Added Tax and Stamp Duties from us and take same to Abuja to be shared by the number of states, local governments and fake population figures in which the Hausa/Fulani have the highest numbers and yet contributed merely 5% to the Federal Government revenue when the Yoruba and the people of the Niger Delta contributed 49% and 44% respectively. Exploitation is the word.
No man can be a full human being if he has to say "Yes Sir", "No Sir", to a man who is boss because he belongs to the born-to-rule.
The time has come for the Yoruba Youths to unite for we can't stop this exploitation unless we are masters in our own Yoruba Country. So that is the first thing that has to be put right. We have got to have regional autonomy. It is regional autonomy now or the dissolution of Nigeria. Our concern should not be about Buhari's government key appointments.
