Ohh please, Ooni of Ife wasn’t an elected official. It’s a monarchy which hasn’t been watered down this much like what we have today. Monarchs were highly involved in colonial governance & administration in those days. The only reasons Muslim representation was scanty in those days was because while the Christians were going to schools, embracing western education, majority of the Muslims in Yorubaland were only concerning themselves with Ile Kewus.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo & Herbert Maucauly were one of the earliest schooled Yorubas involved in the initialization of our pre & post-colonial politics. It had nothing to do with Christianity preferences. They were just the qualified ones. You can’t mention 2-3 influential and highly exposed Muslims in Yorubaland at that timeframe.

Agunyi or Gowon weren’t elected just as Buhari and Idiagbon (both Muslims) also weren’t. Dude stop being irrationally myopic. You sound smart only to a stupid person.

Pls help us educate this your mumuric brother .

Yakubu Gowon, and the then chief of staff Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey who was his de facto deputy or vice head of state were christians

Awolowo, the premier of the western region was a Christian

Deputy premier, Ladoke Akintola, was a Christian

The Governor, Sir Adesoji Aderemi doubling as the ooni of Ife was also a Christian in the old western region.

Aguiyi Ironsi and deputy, Babafemi Ogundipe were christians.

In West, Yoruba is the religion we practice.

Shatap your mouth

Tinubu insisted on being Buhari's running mate but Buhari refused after being prevailed upon by the likes of Saraki that it will be highly insensitive given the state of the nation and the current president then being a Christian for the APC to field a Muslim Muslin ticket .

Buhari said no to Tinubu on the ground of religious insensitivity.

Tinubu was then given the option of nominating the VP as long as he was a Christian.

Stop your useless Mumuric narration here.

The slot of Vice president in APC belongs to the North. They are free to choose christian or Muslim

If a Northern christian becomes Nigerian president in future, and the slot of the vice belongs to south east, will the Ibos allow ibo Muslim to represent them as the vice president?

As much as the OSUs are just one step above feral apes, you must be guided that sound leadership from Awolowo in seeing the potent future danger of an uneducated radical islamist population in Yoruba land, led to him doing the needful by making education compulsory to all since it was only the Yoruba Muslims that were resisting western education like their masters up north.

Can you tell me why the then majority Yoruba traditionalists embraced western education but your Muslim ancestors refused it until being compelled by state laws to receive an education ?

Just thank Awo for saving your future from Yoruba Muslim terrorists and leave the osus out of this.

Point of correction. Tinubu did not make any sacrifice. To make sacrifice, there has to be intent and will to forgo. If you forgo something because you face obstacle thats no sacrifice. He was made, involuntarily, to abdicate his ambition. Osinbajo was an afterthought, not the design.

Now, to talk about North. the christians of North are minorities and left alone to the theatrics of Northern politics, they stand no chance of getting the slot. So an over-riding interest is needed to intervene. NWC in APC must act to balance the pairing in interest of diversity.

The example of Yakubu Gowon is a uniques one, he was an outlier of the Northern interest for three reasons.

1. In heirarchy he was highest ranking Northern soldier.

2. His parents settled in Zaria, he was raised there and went to elite schools alongside children of elite Northern power brokers.

3. In the North, population of christian soldiers doubled muslim soldiers. The muslim North risked facing double mutiny if they did to Gowon what they did yo Shodipe.

The question you Yaribanza dolts need to ask yourselves is:

Why is the north insisting on a northern Muslim running mate to Tinubu?

Has it crossed your ewedufied brain that a northern Muslim VP will make an ideal substitute in future if they decide to get rid of Tinubu either via impeachment or other extra constitutional means(use your imagination on the latter).

Will the Muslim north go to the trouble of removing Tinubu for their detested fellow northern christian?

A Muslim Muslim ticket for Tinubu is a northern insurance on his presidency whose option will be activated when they no longer want tinubu at the helms.

Use brain una no go gree.

Hmmmm you are very intelligent. Exactly like Obasanjo's plan when he made Good Luck Jonathan Yaradua's running mate. The North too want to do the same.

But Antimahdi the intelligent one, what do you have to say about the present government which runs on a Muslim- Christian mandate but still yet Tinubu a Muslim clinched the presidential Ticket for their party. Is not possible for a Christian to clinch the Presidential ticket after Tinubu's tenure on a Muslim-Muslim ticket? If it's possible for a Muslim to succeed a Muslim whose Vice is a Christian why does it then matter with regards to all you have written up there?

Stop talking just because you have organs of speech.

Free primary education was initiated because of farmers, not anything to do with religion.

We have pictures of your naked Eastern ancestors in delta and asaba standing inline to be enrolled under the Western free education scheme. Were your blokos swinging ancestors muslims also? Let me know if you would like to see and pick the head of your clan from the line up.

Yoruba that practice Islam were already writing and reading ahead of colonists introducing reading and writing into Yorubaland. The language in which the book was written is what differed.

So yoruba Muslims were white collar abi?

My friend only a very few people back then had paid employment .

Every other person was a farmer.

At best you had freeloading Yoruba imams who were full time mosque custodians .

So this nonsense that it was directed to only farmers is trash because back then, everyone was a farmer.

Awolowo rolled out that mandatory and free education policy to see to it that your Yaribabza ancestors got an education so that they won't be a nuisance in future.

Free and mandatory education in western Nigeria was meant to civilize the Yaribabza Muslim .

Because back then merit was the order and besides majority of Muslims were illiterates including Yoruba Muslims who refused to attend Christian missionary schools but only began attending when a Christian Yoruba man, Awolowo invested in public education which he made free and compulsory so that your Muslim ancestors will be useful in future.

Mention one single Yaribanza Muslim that was part of the Independence struggle or that of the Awoist movement ?

Answer: None.

Yoruba muslims only started getting into the limelight in the late 70's and they always had affinity towards the north.

Yeye.

How do U define literacy?
Is commonly defined as the ability to read/read. When Nigeria got he independence in 1960 average Northerners were literate. You people are so myopic, mentally inferior to think those who speak or write English are literate.
Can't U remember that Northerners and Yoruba Muslims used to read and write and exchange correspondences using Ajami (Arabic letters) for more than 400yrs.
