...your write up is interesting but not too critical to address some issues... A whole president to die and it been covered up in the kind of society we are is almost impossible... Moreover we have intelligent agencies in other countries that would likely know of this, if it was planned... We all know popular celebrities and world leaders do have doubles for security or privacy reasons, like to give an impression you are somewhere why you are not there... But this doubles hardly take full roles of anything because they will be easily found out. To have a double that resembles someone perfectly, speaks his language etc... and it's meant to occupy that person position seamlessly and you do that within 3 months (right?) in a very smart world that we have today(under eyes of world powers), considering the supposed person is even a foreigner... Then I should clap my hands for the so called cabals pulling the greatest deception in our modern world because this is literally impossible.... Some say clone, you and I know that's fairy tale to clone a human being... Time will always tell... Because even the so-called cabals that have so much power to shut everyone's mouth even that of world leaders, won't there reign not go and how will they still cover up or shut the peoples mouth... Toh! Time shall tell...

Reminds me of Anini of those days, who will steal and thereafter go to the market place to share some to market women. If the country is a sane one, by now the governor should be going through prosecution for bribery and corruption.

Oshigun:
What is tribalistic? Fact is you are now dealing with a generation of Yorubas, starting from Fashola et al, not ready to be diplomatic and two-faced in pursuit of Yoruba interest. The likes of OBJ went overboard trying to please others and form detribalised to the extent he even harmed Yoruba interest, via imposing misrulers like OGD on us everywhere, when he was aware his action would only take us backwards.

It is different now. Fashola has seen it all . He saw the hate ,in the modern era, from sections of the SE and SS even when it was Soyinka, Falana and many prominent leaders who faced bullets to have GEJ installed as acting President while SE and even SS sons of GEJ stayed away.

When GEJ became substantive president the noise from SE Nairaland posters in particular was that he must punish and disenfranchise the Yorubas. Open venom against the Yorubas and Northerners. Someone should help me find the thread if they have a link.

Point is that Fashola's generation and mine behind him now consists of pragmatists who understand the unending hate and lack of goodwill others have for us. We won't play the hate game but we will not continue to try to be the 'bigger man' anymore like Soyinka et al did fruitlessly. Soyinka sided withe Igbo and even defended them over the Biafra war yet they came for him mercilessly because he dared to criticise Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. Today the hate remains through Kanu, IPOB et al who ask for a Yoruba man to be killed before a snake if in same room.

They thoroughly humiliated Soyinka calling him senile, cultist etc never mind all he had done for them and Nigeria. As a Yoruba, and many new generation Yorubas would have taken the same message, I realised the fate of Soyinka shows that, as Fashola is doing, it is not a crime fighting for your own interest if you are not harming others doing so in a country full of hateful ingrates. For the sensible Yoruba it is now "damned if you do, damned if you don't" so why not secure your own interest first?

Fight for the development of every Nigerian but fight for yourself politically. Doing otherwise may leave you with nothing in the end as many Nigerians still operate with primordial hatred of others to the extent , as Soyinka's case shows, they will never appreciate you even if you give them your eyes.

All that and many other open show of hate against the Yorubas was shaping the mindset of the modern Yorubas now very distant from the OBJ and Soyinka generation . We saw how a people Soyinka personally sacrificed for mocked him mercilessly because of hate for his ethnic stock and because they ethnically sided with Jonathan who had no history of doing nada for them and would indeed go on to do nada for them over his 5 year presidency. We now know that the style of Soyinka will get us nowhere with unrepentant haters.

Rather we will pragmatically and coldly continue to strategize to gain the chance to uplift Nigeria and our region via accepting the reality of Nigeria and what you need to do to secure development personally and nationally.

When others eschew hate to begin acting right then we will think differently but I don't think the Yorubas, for now, will continue being the 'bigger brother' as we see this is getting us nowhere in hateful Nigeria. The strategy has changed. Hate Fashola and call him names but we won't care if his call helps us to Aso rock where the current crop of brilliant Yoruba APC leaders can really make a big difference. The modern Yoruba means no harm to others but we are now working with pragmatic awareness. I am behind Fashola 100%. Go to hell if you dont like that.

he picked Jonathan over Donald duke for vice, he was the one who changed the allocation sharing formula to favor south south and give 13% derivatives while he withheld funds for Lagos state just for creating LCDA

iammo:
I just love the Igbo's over bloated sense of importance, nothing dey pepper Yoruba about Igbo's in fact we eat pepper like snacks. In Nigeria with the help of Yoruba elders like obasanjo ijaw minority like Jonathan tasted power before Igbo the politically unimportant majority.

You can imagine Hausas coming to Igbo land to decide for us who become our next governor in our own Igbo Land. Wonders shall never end.

NwaAmaikpe:




I wonder why anyone will honour the invitation to the launch of a book where an ineffective drunkard will try to justify his acts of cowardice.
A book where someone blames another for the consequences of his naivety.

Shame on you GEJ.

Posterity will forever remember you as the failure who never fully understood the power of the Presidency,

A coward who threw in the towel before the fight was over and the mumu that spat out the sugar put in his mouth by the gods.

It's sadly ironic that the first President of Niger Delta extraction is an opposite reflection of every virtue the Niger Delta is known and reverred for.

I'd forever respect Buhari for not jailing GEJ. Not for the unabated looting that occurred under his watch, but for his legendary foolishness.

PrecisionFx:
There are only 3 Ethnic groups in Nigeria and they are :

IGBO

HAUSA

YORUBA.




Ijaw isoko Udi Abakiliki Aworis Egun Tiv Jukun are all tribes grouped under the aforementioned ethnic groups.


It's a great ignorance n fallacy to say/keep saying that Tribe n Ethnic group mean the same thing.
