ACCORDING to Mama, "So, I beg you all. My knees are weak now; I could have knelt for all of you. I urge you to come,  together in the name of the Almighty God. Act as one and ensure that you are united so that things would run smoothly in the Yoruba nation. I do not want us to be scattered." Oodua, Chief (Mrs.) HID Awolowo would always be happy to see that there is unity in Yorubaland.

When my generation witnessed what we found on the ground during the time of Great Awo, and seeing what is happening with our leaders of today, someone feels like getting a cudgel and chase the destroyer of peace around the corners of their homes. You would be wondering what has happened to their home training; what God bestowed on them when they were born, talk less of the opportunity they have in getting to their current positions in life. Forgotten that it's only God that gives and takes positions and life. By the power of God they got to where they are today through someone with God's blessings.

There is much of Pull Him Down syndrome among the Yoruba leaders. Regardless of the progress you might be making, some dangerous reptiles would be waiting to find faults to pull you down. The Federal Republic of Nigeria constructed a stadium in Abuja for N32 billion, and the government 'bulldog' was charged to go after how the similar project was constructed for about N3 billion in another State.

Mimiko just won the Governorship election of Ondo State, with much appreciation to the Judiciary for making sure that 'Mandela', 'Tyson' votes did not count. Yoruba needs to rebuke the 'Enemies Within' so as to see the dangers in a disunited community. Those that are making progress in their communities have been the targets of some devilish individuals who consider themselves leaders of the Yorubaland. It is about time the Yorubas come together as one to move the group forward.

I doubt if the so-called Yoruba leaders that have benefited from late Awolowo's services to Nigeria, realize the damage they have done to our generation. Going by the developments in the South Western States, we can still see the hands of Awo's selfless services to the community.

Ironically, the disunity among followers of the late sage had left the Yoruba without an identifiable political direction. Ironically, Yeye Awolowo have to take them through memory lane of how late Awolowo left the Yorubas intact before his death. People thought that we had a united Yoruba until the Military were forced out of the Nigeria governance. It became a battle of the 'wits' for the Yoruba leaders.

Looking at the title 'Afenifere', it does not match the ways and manners some Yoruba leaders behave. When you love good things you are a member of the Afenifere. But that's not the direction they've taken the Yoruba that love peace. We could see from Yeye's speech to the gathering that she was disappointed at some current Yoruba leaders in the way they work against the principles of late Saga.

Unfortunately, and very ironic, the disunity among Yorubas with its PHD syndrome follows them whenever they settle. Regardless their level of Education or their level of professional attainment in their life, if they have not successfully pulled their closest friend down, they are not yet fulfilled. Some would be wondering whether there were leaders in Yoruba at all, or they are like termites that always rejoice in getting some properties destroyed.

The Yorubas have to appeal to their inner senses for a better tomorrow. They have to actually repent, and fight the 'enemies within', so that their sins would not be delivered on their offspring from generation to generation.

Ironically some of them forgot that their current positions are not permanent. Just like the wind, it would be blown out at the snap of a finger. God is very slow in anger and His wrath on those that put millions of people in abject poverty, torturing their life, would be revisited on their generations yet unborn.

What have to be done to get Yoruba group moving progressively again are left with each and everyone that considers him or herself a leader in Yorubaland. There must be some level of trust among the leaders. They do not have to go and swear to any lesser gods to be loyal to anyone or design that as an avenue for embarking on any dubious acts. They have to appeal to their inner senses, their conscience if there is any, and consider that there are millions of human beings that are suffering from their inability to unite as a group.

They should aggressively pursue some progressive programs to alleviate the sufferings of the people. One of the areas is to open all settlements and communities for development. Regardless what are obtainable naturally or artificially from a community, without

accessible roads is completely lost. Road network must be vigorously pursued. Each State could construct road networks, without discriminating against Federal or Local Government roads, and collect the amount spent on the roads from either the Federal or Local Governments after its completion.

Most people are now been enticed by white collar jobs, the pursue of agriculture should be a must. Sage Awo encouraged large scale cocoa and rubber productions in his days. The current Yoruba leaders could capitalize on that and encourage mechanized farming in some other agricultural products. We all believe that there is dignity in labor. We have to encourage the jobless youth to go into mechanized farming.

There is no excuse for any government not to provide each settlement with adequate water supply. It makes life easier on everyone. Such would eliminate the water-bone diseases, among others, caused by poor water supply in our communities. Every aspect of human life needs water supply.

Typical of some myopic Nigerians .butt leaking! I am sure we voted against Iran because of some selfish tip for our leaders courtesy US and co .not because of a plus to diplomatic and international gain as it affects Africa or African Nations.About those who said Mahmud Ahmed can't come,i say take your thoughts else where.if Bush and Blair can come,as controversial.even when they are both investigated for screw ups in there countries.so can he.He is very welcome and he has likely supporters too.I should say if some people think hard they will know what Jonathan did is okay.We can't go against Iran or western countries that want his head.moderation and neutrality has always kept it plain and simple for us.You can imagine if both decide to use Nigeria as an influence zone considering our comatose intelligence unit, we are done.US can't save Iraq from Iranian influence is an example.despite all efforts US has only created a platform for the iranians to establish political presence that was never there during saddem.But with a good leader,like GJ he could ride them both to our advantage .while keeping both at bay.

Thank U. I don't see why these people can't reason and make sense. So because the U.S. doesn't like the man it means nigeria should not allow him to enter nigeria?? The U.S. is looking for control over nigeria and it is every African country. Getting linked with the Iranian president will cut off the U.S. control and it the say time "ride them both to our advantage .while keeping both at bay".

Its about time African countries learn to start USING and stop FRIEND SEEKING!

It doesn't really matter. until he reveals his real name, you or magically says he is another tribe then you will never know. Do take into consideration that the JRC is against him running as president( they are babangida's henchmen) so they may have added the whole throughout those of his t2o Igbo names just so people can think he is an undercover Igbo and derail his votes somehow. However  i believe the nigerian youths are too smart to fall for trick by Babangida.

Wellu Wellu!!!

Seems like kidnapping has spread to all of Igboland now. what a shame smh. They better hurry up and make Anioma state so that they can have an Igbo grovernor and do what their brothers from the other Igbo speaking states just agreed on doing. They made a real smart and good resolution
