crusader01: President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday
at the annual Interfaith Conference in
Abuja describef the actions of late Patrick
Sawyer, the man who reportedly
imported #Ebola into #Nigeria, as pure
‘madness’ and craziness.
Excerpt from Vanguard :
"My conversation with the WHO DG, Dr
Margaret Chan was revealing, she said 60
per cent of the transmission was spread
during burials. That is why in my
announcement, I’ve been saying that
people should be careful about burials.”
“Some people like burial ceremonies. This
is not the time for burial ceremony,
somebody is dead, he is dead, leave him
there. This is not the best time for those
ceremonies.”
“If he is dead, he is already dead, Sawyer
that brought this Ebola to Nigeria; his
sister died of Ebola. And he started acting
somehow, his country asked him not to
leave the country, let them observe him,
but the crazy man decided to leave and
found his way here.”
“As a government, we promise that we
will do everything humanly possible to
contain the #Ebola virus."

Why is he using the word "crazy".

PoliticsDele Momodu: Why Today’s Election Is A Battle For The Soul Of Yorubaland by emmatok(op):
This is the reason for the declaration of war in the South West. If our security forces showed the same level of preparedness and seriousness in the States ravaged by terrorism Nigerians would have felt extremely secured.
Fellow Nigerians, as you read this, the battle for which political party controls the State of Osun, in South West Nigeria, should be reaching a crescendo. The PDP and APC are locked in a duel of monumental proportions. Anything, and everything, possible and available has been thrown into what has become a war more than a mere election. Sadly, this is how we now do it in our neck of the woods. The Party responsible for letting us degenerate into such moral abyss is none less than the rampaging PDP which sees as its goal the vision of Nigeria as a one Party State.
Rewards from electoral victories are often stupendously heavy. Now, under the PDP, it has become even more so. While it may be easier to win elections in other parts of our nation, Yorubaland has always been a battleground for political gladiators. This is because the average Yoruba electorate is perceptive, knowledgeable, conscientious and equally critical and demanding. I will come back shortly to the reason why this zone has become all too important to our new breed politicians.
This fight didn’t start yesterday. It began decades ago, or even centuries. You only need to read the history of the Yoruba race to see how tough it is for any individual to Lord it over them. The people are highly territorial and would normally fight to protect their provinces. They also believe in development and emancipation. Hence, there have been too many wars fought, including Kiriji, Ekiti Parapo, Ibadan/Egba, and many heroes and heroines have emerged as various Yoruba communities struggled for self-determination. They include several Aare Ona Kakanfos’ from Oyo, Ogedengbe of Ijesaland, Ogunmola and Efunsetan Aniwura of Ibadanland, Sodeke and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti of Egbaland, and many others.
The Yoruba respect men and women of valour and accord them the highest esteem. They received education quite early and understood the meaning of human rights, fairness and justice. This consciousness has made them somewhat difficult to govern because they believe that they have a right to be governed properly whereas a lot of politicians do not care about governance but are concerned only about their selfish interests and self preservation.
Not even the Yoruba kings are allowed to trample on their subjects.
In the famous Oyo Kingdom, a semblance of democracy as we know it today has been practised since time immemorial. The Oyo Mesi in Council in their role as Kingmakers not only appointed the Alaafin, who was a truly paramount and maximum ruler, they also held the King in check in their primary role akin to Senators in dual Parliamentary system. The Ogboni, headed by the Oluwo, further acted as a check on the excesses of the Oyo Mesi almost as a lower house of Parliament does in modern times based on their composition and functions.
In most, if not all, of Yoruba kingdoms, Kingship is rotated amongst the ruling houses. And there are always conditions to be met. Even if the collapse of education plus the incursion of stomach infrastructure are beginning to affect the Yoruba adversely, they still possess a substantial degree of self-respect and self-worth. That is why the phrase Talika Alagidi refers to a stubborn poor fellow. He’s ready to duel with the rich man if he feels insulted.
The Yoruba sometimes suffer from mood-swings. They can hail you today and disgrace you tomorrow if they feel you’re playing God and feeling too cool with yourself. They have subtle ways of rejecting and resisting oppression. Pele o Baba Olowo is a satirical way of telling the big man to take things easy. Oba Mewa, Igba Mewa suggests that power is transient and it is turn by turn.
In recent memory, the Yoruba have been involved in leadership tussles. The most significant being the tussle between Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Chief Ladoke Akintola. Such a tussle has been lately re-enacted between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and former President Olusegun Obasanjo but it never reached the epic proportions of the 1960s because the calibre and depth of the gladiators and juggernauts of those times is not matched by that of the present day protagonists. Indeed, whereas the Awolowo/Akintola duel was to the death, by a quirk of fate, Tinubu and Obasanjo have suddenly found themselves on the same side of the political divide, sharing the same aspiration of taking the Yoruba back to their vaunted position of leadership in the development, morality and ethos of the Nigerian polity......

elobyobi: Yorubas are poor managers , simple. Mtn nigeria is managed by an igbo person and u can see the difference.
Am still laughing at the mofo that called yorubas intelligent because other nigerians make so much money from lagos , leaving them impoverished due to laziness. Taxes indeed, stipends that go to tinubus purse alone.
Go to core yorubaland , u will see backwardness.
YOrubas can only be rich by the back door like adenuga did. However, indebtedness and lack of mgt remain their bane, its in their genes. IBB , must have withdrawn his suppOrt cos he is one of the political sponsors of glo.

You don't know anything about fighting your neighbour, you sing typing rubbish! If we start fighting wars now, who will be your target? Igbo against yoruba? Yoruba against hausa? Hausa against igbo, fulani against nupe? Ijaw against itsekiri? Kids of nowadays are so stu.pid and they just don't know what war is all about. My dad had to carry us, running from one local government to the other. Running in the bush, killing different kinds of wild animals. You think you fought cult fights, secondary school ode fights, street fights, etc and you think you can fight war? Talk to a soldier in maiduguri anyhow and see if he won't release bullets in your body, stu.pid kids. You have your smelling fathers that cheated you, input hate in your minds. Few men putting hates in your hearts and you come here forming loyalist to your tribe. I swear, th.under should just strike some these kids here, Id.iots.

This is exactly what Britain did when they declared that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup in their media houses. Planting poison.

This is what Britain did when they instigated the israeli-Palestine conflict, when they tore Pakistan and India apart.

Also, the longer it last, the more hardened those folks are going to get - and it's only a matter of time before it spreads to other parts of the country.

Nigerians honestly don't know what's about to hit them.
What we are facing is Islamist insurgency e.g Maitatsine and BOKO-HARAM.
Remember the Niger-delta was once a boiling pot.

The situation can only become a real war "IF" everybody decides to take-up arms against each other just like RUWANDA.

Bros, whats going on now is not actually the real war.

I remember Ikeja Cantonment bomb blast and how 1000 people died in a day, if that event(Ikeja Cantonment bomb blast) continue for just one month, imaging what will happen.

Nigeria is not in real war situation yet, surprisingly people are still doing business and going to parties in the BOILING NORTH.

When war start everything stops for survival.
