Is there any politician who can speak Yoruba like that anymore? I don't agree with everything he said, partly because I don't understand all the prevailing issues at that time, but I surely enjoyed the pure, undiluted Yoruba he spoke. I don't think there are many people today who can explain several issues in Yoruba the way he did without mixing it with English language.

You seem to forget that Joe Achuzie whooped the indian hemp seller's @ss out of the war, before he was eventually sacked and returned to Lagos where he started his indian hemp business?

You seem to forget a lot, son. lol

Why Igbos are the scums and slaves of Nigeria


[size=18pt]Former military governor of Western region and a leader of the Yoruba council of Elders (YCE), retired Major General Adeyinka Adebayo said despite being close to President Obasanjo, he has not told him he would seek for a third term in office.[/size]

''I would advise the people not to promote this third term aspiration. When he announces his intention for a third term, the people would be at liberty to criticise the plan the way they want,'' Adebayo said and advised ministers and other personal aides of the president promoting the third term bid to make Nigeria a better society.

''If Obasanjo's ministers and other political appointees use the same zeal with which they are promoting third term to find solutions to the nation's problem, most Nigerians would be contented and it is the Nigerian people who would urge him to have third term of office not that it would be forced down their throats,'' he said.

[size=18pt]Afenefere, a Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and economic group also from the Southwest has restated its opposition to the alleged third term agenda[/size], stressing that the Yoruba ethnic group will reject any attempt to extend the tenure of any political office holder. Obasanjo is of the Yoruba ethnic bloc from the Southwest.

A communique at the end of their meeting this week in Lagos and signed by the publicity secretary of the organsiation, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, stated that the group stands for fairness, equity and justice in its involvement in the political issues in the country.

''The Yoruba people are known for fairness, equity and justice as epitomised by Chief Obafemi Awolowo's struggle for libertarian values in all his years of political involvement in Nigeria. Following that tradition and our long struggle against dictatorship and subversion of the rule of law, the Yoruba nation rejects any attempt to elongate, extend or perpetuate the tenure of President Obasanjo, the state governors and other elected officials,'' the communique said.

What the hell do you take us for, mo.rons? OBJ was held to crossfire of media pens from Yoruba land just about first two mouths of his presidency before shells of reality fell from their eyes.

By the time OBJ was in the fourth month of his presidency, many AD political stalwarts from Yoruba land, including sitting governors under AD party platform, have switched party and sewed Buba dresses with Hollandis cloths decorated with PDP party emblem of umbrella.

In fact by the dawn of second term of OBJ’s presidency, AD has died a natural dead as a political party in Nigeria.  

I guess this is Yoruba you were trying to force feed us.
