Yoruba tribe should have been a light and leaders of this nation because of their education BUT due to their hypocrisy, fear fear and chicken heart they are becoming a laughing stock to others.
At times I call them educated fools, because they are indeed educated but they are not wise.... .... take a Look at all the lawyers that are disgracing themselves up
down, and giving buhari all the wrong advice that destroys the Constitution and laws of NIGERIA and challenging supreme Court judgement, they are all Yorubas........(infact take a look at a whole vice president! That man alone sum up a whole Yoruba tribe... A professor, lawyer, SAN, pastor, well educated BUT acting as a house boy to an iliterate Fulani herdman).......that is why no other tribe can follow them or their example, ask your self why is it that no other tribe want to follow their amotokun footprint?everyone is watching them at a distance as they are making all the noise!....... Also asked yourself, why have they refused to put on a proper security uniform instead they are dressed in a loapard skin with slippers? I can tell u authoritatively that they are afraid of the federal government and the north,... They are dressed in loapard skin and have refused to used a proper security name, and other regions have refused to join them because if for example south south region want to join them and create a regional security with proper attire/ organization, and federal government with the north stood up to challenge & threatened both south south and Yorubas, u will observe that while south south is trying to defend themselves, the Yoruba will immediately run away and abandoned the entire program, begging the federal government for forgiveness and blaming everything on the south south, they will later join the federal government to fight the south south. ........ Yoruba tribe are cowards and traitors and nobody wants to follow them to their graves.

A Security force that wear slippers as boot, agbada and kaki, chieftaincy cap as helmet, juju as gun, chief priest as commander..... That one na security?......... infact na one Reverend father go destroy the entire battalion with holy water and in the Name of Jesus..... Evil dirty witches and skull miners posing officially as amotokun

You can give appointment to Sani Abacha in grave as LAUTECH appointed MKO ABIOLA as a Chancellor when he was in Prison.
Medicine after Death as a way of showing support for a sinking ego centric Emir.
El Rufai can even make Sanusi financial Adviser in exile , Ganduje has his way.
Sanusi will leave in Awe Nassarawa State till the rest of his life and El Rufai will vacate his position in 4 years.
Who is fooling who..?

Goodluck Jonathan, 19th February, 2015.

That's how GEJ lied to us in 2015, now the result is opposite we have a perfect president. Who literally make Nigeria great in all ways. With perfect administration working like a fine-tune machine.

Very useless and senseless perceptions, if it could be the case what happened when Jonathan was trying to arrest Sunusi but Kwankwaso being Alfa and omega led him became a king Does Jonathan haven’t any privileges to stop him from being a king as a number one in Nigeria? why is it that Kwankwaso is becoming clueless and trying to instal hate for Buhari to the great people of Kano? Only in Nigeria that a red-handed criminal would escape all trials an later on he will persecute the innocent one, only in Nigeria that you will come across a matured fourty years plus, in support of that Same criminals, who are the source of their hardship and sufferness. Only in Nigeria that you would had that Police are not control by the state governors, I wonder who's permission did the police used to Arrest Emir, sunusi, maybe they are from the other planet. Hmmm

Nigeria..HOME OF TOO MANY DUMB PEOPLE with fine fine degrees.

I have taken all you on this task.

Sanusi speaking against illiteracy in the north? What the hell are you talking about? His emirates has billions in their coffer, what did he do with them? How many kids were taken off the street via his foundation or initiative?

He spoke against poverty in the north? Where is his empowerment scheme, taking young people off the street and teaching them self sustaining handiworks.

I have presented facts in both his public life and royal life....list his impact, stop telling me how urbane he is, who the hell is talking about eloquence?

Beside these arrays of explosively expensive cars in a Kano that has the highest OUT OF SCHOOL KIDS, tell me what made him exceptional that you are talking about him at the presidency. Una don start another misadventure?

You guys will keep wobbling, fumbling and talking nonsense from every opening in your body.

Don't bring your emotions here, come with facts.

There is one quick way of challenging the status quo, start fixing the issues.

The other young Emir in Gombe or so, has thousands of kids in school on his expense, this one kept throwing words around, claiming to accuse the northern elites of the same SINS, him and his fathers participated in incubating.

You can clap for him for talks, cars and nothing else.

The world has gone too shallow abeg.

NB: The arrays of cars in this garage will be close to HALF A BILLION. That was how you guys started the nonsense of Buhari loving the poor.

IWTBAB:

Now, take ur reply 4rm ur Big Uncle below..

yanabasee:
Nobody used him and dumped him...


Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II never worked for any APC... He's been very consistent with his vocal criticism, irrespective of who's at the realm of the affairs..

His major interest is the masses.... He yearned for a government that will put the masses first..


You can hate him for all you like , but as the Emir, he's a leader and a great leader for the youths.

Sikay19:
No amount of story can justify this high-handedness from Kano government. Anyways, they can only try. I see Sanusi coming through again in higher position beyond their imaginations.

Nonsense talk, so you mean that Sanusi is being punished for raising alarm on the looting going under Gej Even Gej can not reason this low.

This is as false as ever.

Same applies to everything u wrote in this post.

Pick up copies of books written by people who were around back den and read. It will help u not to post this kind of beer parlour gist again

Given the fact that 97% of your story here is false, I have some question for you.

Did Okorie steal the SIM card?
How did he come into possession of the SIM?
Why did DSS not arrest MTN director for allocating Buhari's daughter's SIM to someone else?
Is asking for help from people a crime?
Did anybody give him any money from the calls?
Why was he detained for 10 weeks when no crime took place?
If DSS think there was a crime, why did they let him go after 10 weeks?
What are the names of his "female accomplices who can speak hausa"?

Like they always say, Joe, there are always two sides to a story. Also, history is nothing but "his-story", he being the winner. Remember that talk about the story of the hunt and how different it would be had the lion had his own historian...credit to Chinua Achebe of blessed memory.

In my original comment, I only stayed on course with popularly accepted viewpoint. You know there are a handful people on Earth who insist that the Nazis never gassed the Jews. Despite them, the overriding majority of humans accept all available evidence as proof beyond reproach that Hitler did annihilate over 6million Jews during the Holocaust.

This is how the world works. Irrespective of whatever case can be made for chief Akintola, it remains historically shown that he broke ranks with the AG and actively participated in the lead up to jailing chief Awolowo. Both of them also acquiesced to Sir Ahmadu Bello's plan to split the Benin/Edo/delta peoples from the West while keeping the East and North intact! Right or wrong, his actions along with oloye Remi Fani-Kayode precipitated the collapse of the emerging Yoruba experiment in nation building. I mean all of the past successes which Yorubas take pride in today were all during Awo's reign and pre Akintola/Fani Power's hijack. (for clarity, I'm referring to free education, cocoa house, the Ife/Lagos/Ibadan universities, TV/radio media, industrial estates, investment funds, banks etc).

Above reasons are why majority Yorubas hold Fani Power and Akintola as traitors and I don't think this crimsonian shade can be easily rubbed of both characters. I, for one, consider Fani Power as a vile and criminal character cobsidering everything I have ever read about him including what Lee Kuan Yew had to say about him in page 356 (or so) of his very popular book, From 3rd World to 1st!

BreconHills:
Bunkum.

Was it necessary then to rope Awolowo into a phantom coup and have him incarcerated thereby robbing the AG of its leader? Was the issue about becoming President or rather who would run the region? Which of the political parties of the time held away outside of their regions? Is it not true that ffk father said "whatever figure they write or report we will win the election?" Was this not the cause of the pandemonium that broke out in the west after the results were announced leading to military action and the first, second coups that led into the civil war?

We did not read this history, some of us went through it. There is nowhere in the western region outside of his home town that the name ffk is respected.

Re the 79 election - did Awo really lose that election? What happened to the fanikayode and akintola schools - where are they today in yorubaland? Who lines up behind either of those two names?

Lets remember how this conversation begun. Ffk asks someone " who is your father?" The answer is what we are talking about.

So politicians had disagreements and parted ways?

Amaechi Wike
Oshiomhole Obaseki
Ganduje Kwankwaso
Obasanjo Atiku
Akpabio Udom
Eh hen?
Kini big deal?
What was the politics of MKO Abiola? Adeniran Ogunsanga,TOS Benson,Richard Akinjide,AMA Akinloye ?
Was it not Akinjide that came up with the 12 2/3 argument in 1979?

I hope there is more on FFK"s father than his political choices.
Everyone cannot face the same direction
Abiola never aligned with Awolowo


Not choosing to align with Awolowo is a legitimate choice and right
Yes Awolowo was a cult figure like Buhari and in some strongholds you could not speak out against him but this is 2020
Did Fani Power do anything else?

kjhova:
Hi Omo,

Let me speak to you in the assumption that you are Yoruba. I ain't but it won't be a problem as I am infused in the culture.
Every culture on Earth has its plus & minus and irrespective of how "others" feel about aspects of a culture, the owners and holders will always hold on to their own definitions of values & vices. The Yorubas have a concept of Omoluabi (Omo olu iwa bi = One of Esteemed Character) and for good or bad, a human being was meant to strive to attain the zenith of good behavior to the acclaim of fellow citizens, for his sake and that of his family, his clan and his town. This is what the entire tradition of the "Aku aaro o ji're" was all about until the British to Nigerian era brought about today's disruption and corruption of society.

To the current matter;
There are three great traitors known to the Yoruba folks; Aare Afonja, Chief S. L. Akintola and...(wait for it) Oloye Remilekun Fani-Kayode (AKA Fani Power)! There is a reason why these men are singled out for national disregard. They broke ranks with the leaders of the Yoruba people in periods of great turmoil and sided with the "outsiders" leading to disruption of society in ways that led to permanent loss of political/developmental/social gains and position of the entire people. Afonja's ambition to create a fiefdom for himself against the position of the Alaafin of empire and against the wishes of the people led to the destruction of the empire, loss of the northern city of Ilorin, civil war and eventual loss of independence of the nation which has remained to date! Chief Akintola / Fani-Kayode's desires to achieve their personal ambitions of usurping Chief Awolowo's powers against the wish of the people led them to not only cross carpet to the Northern side but to also fully connive with the Federal authorities in trumped up charges of treasonable felony against Awo to lock up the Yoruba leader leading to loss of political power in the West, ensuing "Wetie" crisis which all acted as precursor to the 1st Military coup in Nigeria, the counter coup and eventual civil war!

So you see, my friend, the universal condemnation of Femi Fani-Kayode's father as a traitor and antithesis to omoluabi isn't just for his decamping from the yoruba party so-to-say, but for the treachery of getting Awo imprisoned on fake charges and disruption to the free education, industrialization etc project the true leaders were pursuing then. This is why almost every Yoruba you meet will hold Afonja as the ultimate poster boy for treachery quickly followed by Femi Fani-Kayode.

Hoping the above makes sense, requiring no further back and forth on the Yoruba mindset as per the Fani-Kayodes.

BreconHills:
Hubris strikes again.


FFK father betrayed Awolowo and the Western region pre the 1966 crisis. He and Akintola prevented Awolowo from forming the national government and by implication handed over the country to the north. In fact, the first coup might never have happened but for this event. It now sounds incredible to hear him representing the interests of the same region his father betrayed. But when you look closely you see that nothing has changed. I wrote some time ago that ffk had a golden opportunity to rewrite history but weak character caused him to throw it away.

I know there are many on NL who judge people by what they feel they personally lack and desire. Good luck to you if you are in this character. In my opinion, even if your father was a lowly carpenter or mechanic and he worked honestly to bring bread to his family's table - he is a hero worthy of emulation and respect. Stop worshipping disreputable social media characters and by implication tossing your parents honest efforts into the dustbin.

Modified for clarity.

God bless you real good for this update. You have really made my day. This was the same man that told the mammoth crown at Ojota in 2012 that fuel should actually be sold for N47/litre instead of N97/litre then. How much is it today?

Bros, it was Ojukwu that cleared war....General Gowon tried to make peace but because Ojukwu was a stubborn man and he felt they will defeat Gowon and his men. He forgot Gowon was in power and it's very difficult to defeat an geaf of state who's in charge. It was just a little misunderstandings that led to civil war.
Lastly, they were all young officers trying to taste power at that time. I'm sure they all regret they actions back then
