Believeintruth:Jonathan by etrader(m): 5:59pm On Mar 25, 2015 In the context of the elections, much has been said about Nigeria’s “unity in diversity”. Still, many Nigerians feel they are being deliberately disjointed on the grounds of their ethnicity. Dr Ibraheem Dooba, in his exclusive contribution for Naij.com, explains why the Yoruba people are frustrated with the incumbent president and one of the presidential candidates Goodluck Jonathan, and why they are most likely not going to support him come Saturday, March 28. “President Jonathan won’t implement recommendations of the conference if he wins. Even if he does, it won’t be what the Yoruba people want.” “Other than the constitutionally-required appointments, Yorubas are invisible in Jonathan’s government.” “The Yoruba people don’t deserve this neglect.” Why did the Yoruba become victims in and of Jonathan’s government? What are the reasons why the ethnic group isn’t supporting and wouldn’t vote him? The laughable National Conference report First, President Jonathan tried to outsmart the Yoruba by offering them the National Conference. But how can he outsmart the Yoruba, a people so intelligent that Jonathan would have his brains in knots should he try any of their mental feats! It’s now clear that President Jonathan, although he’s promised to do so, won’t implement the recommendations of the conference if he wins re-election. Even if he does implement them, it won’t be what the Yoruba people want. “Is Jonathan going to remove immunity clause as recommended by the conference? No,” Dr Haruna Yerima, an academic and one of the four hundred delegates to the National Conference, said in an interview with Daily Trust, before asking, “What is there in the report that he is using now to cajole the southwest people into voting for him?” The former member of the House of Representatives said the report paid scant attention to corruption and inequality issues in the country. “The report didn’t give the southwest people their age-long desire of true federalism. In fact, nobody talked about it at the conference. It also didn’t give them the parliamentary system as well as the regional system of government they requested for during the conference. So, what is there for them?” he queried. He said the Southwest wouldn’t trust Jonathan after “six years without doing anything for them. He is just desperate. He needs their votes to short-change them again.” But the Southwest is too smart to be short- changed that way. Even Mama Sikira, the famous akara seller, wouldn’t be fooled by this. Targeted Yoruba sackings Chief Kola Aderemi wrote in The Nation of December 23 last year that President Jonathan must have something against the Yoruba to allow for such sustained ill-treatment. “Nothing illustrates President Jonathan’s hatred for Yoruba better than the way he removed some Yoruba people from key positions on allegation of being too close to the former President Olusegun Obasanjo,” he said. “To buttress my point, I recalled how he removed Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the PDP secretary. Mr Yomi Bolarinwa was removed as DG of Nigeria Broadcasting Commission; Otunba Segun Runsewe was removed as DG of Nigerian Tourism Development Commission, and they were replaced with Igbo people.” Here is a selection of other Yoruba people that Jonathan sacked that chief forgot to mention: Olu Oluleye, executive secretary, the Petroleum Trust Development Fund (PTDF). Dr Samuel Oduselu, CEO of the Accident Investigation Bureau. Stella Oduah sacked eight general managers at the FAAN in 2014, six of them Yoruba. The same minister employed 75 workers, 40 of them are from the Southeast, her geo-political zone. The minister sacked Captain Adebayo Araba, rector of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, and replaced him with Captain Chinyere Kalu from the Southeast. Also Mrs Ola Onagoruwa, Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, was sacked for “undisclosed reasons”. The issue of the Yorubas being deliberately replaced by the Igbo people is debatable, but it is a fact that, immediately after Yar’Adua died, Jonathan went on Yoruba sacking spree. The result? Other than the constitutionally-required appointments, Yorubas are invisible in his government. The Yoruba people moved from the number one position (in President Obasanjo “era”) to number 22. I’m not exactly sure how this reckoning was done, but the victims must have taken their time to do the counting. President Jonathan betrayed their votes The Yoruba people don’t deserve this neglect. Many of them voted for him in 2011, but he’s got this weird conviction that those who voted him in the Southwest and the North are the Igbo residents of those areas. I sometimes do my morning jog with a Yoruba woman, a Muslim, who told me that she voted Jonathan in 2011 because she thought that was justice — because Niger Delta produces a chunk of the government income. However, she wouldn’t repeat that mistake again in 2015. Not because Jonathan dislikes the Yoruba people, but because the guy is useless to everybody, including the long-suffering people of the Niger Delta. My own friend for many years, also a Yoruba Muslim (from the North), gave me the same reason for supporting Jonathan in 2011. This “sense of justice” reason makes me believe that must be something embedded in their culture. During our time in the diaspora, I had many Nigerian friends. The most religious of us and one of my closest neighbours is a Yoruba Muslim. His old father in Nigeria was also religious and in 2011, he was preparing to vote for Goodluck Jonathan. My friend’s father, may God rest his soul, died this year. His children, however, are still alive and would not accept Jonathan in 2015 even if you dressed him in gold. Make of that what you will, but the northern Yoruba and their southern brethren – Muslim and Christians – supported the president four years ago. It’s the reason why the Yoruba people shouldn’t let this betrayal go unpunished. The fortunate thing for Nigerians, and, particularly, the APC, is that many of them have long resolved to do this. That sense of justice will be used to shoot down Jonathan this month. Dear Yoruba brethren, you are an intelligent set of people. Do us all a favour, I call upon you in supplication: don’t vote Jonathan. As of this moment, the only Yoruba group which supports Jonathan is Afenifere. However, even Afenifere is divided. Afenifere Renewal Organization (ARG) said they didn’t support the endorsement of Jonathan enacted by Yinka Odumankin’s group. So the authentic Afenifere doesn’t support the president. The US-based Oodua organization also distanced itself from the self-serving endorsement of Odumankin’s group. Moshood Erubami, civil rights activist, summed it up: “No real Yoruba man or woman who supports a pan-Yoruba political and developmental agenda will vote for Jonathan in the coming election, because the Southwest has not gained anything from his administration.” So let’s have a bloc vote from this savvy and enterprising race. Jonathan shouldn’t continue, (Quote) (Report) (Like) (Share) |

vanitybutiwanti:You re smart by a quarter to think that anyone who speaks against Tinubu's poor performances is doing so because of those who didn't succeed at becoming the president. I understand your hate against the generality of the Igbos but what beats my understanding is your inability to point a single thing or area where Tinubu met Nigeria worse than it's today or the practical, real and verifiable steps being propagated by the same Tinubu. Just mention one with Stats. Keep your sentiments aside. Let's go |
| Re: Tinubu Names Three New Directors-General For Key Government Agencies by Ezemeiyogu(m): 6:07pm On Nov 15, 2024 |
vanitybutiwanti:...and who said He attacked Igbos and where? |

Ezemeiyogu:Tinubu is doing the right, nobody hates the igbos, the igbos are the ones who hate others, Tinubu has been president for less than 2 years, what can he realistically do now to solve the numerous problems he inherited? Tell us what you expect him to have done? Seems some of you are unaware that Nigerian is bankrupt, it will take at least 10 years for the country to experience significant progress if we're being realistic. Maybe because your fraudster brother who lost election in 2023 has been making a lot of phantom promises, you think the presidency is child's play, nairaland and Twitter is awash with opinions of people obi your brother governed when he was governor, from those testimonials, he did absolutely nothing as governor and he wouldn't have done anything at all if he was made president. Removal of subsidy and cost reflective bill for electricity is the way to go, Nigeria has no money to subsidise fuel for now |

vanitybutiwanti:Your matter don tire me. You hardly have educated conversations without appealing to sentiments to drive home your weak points. It's not Tinubu against Obi, how did Obi keep coming into your arguments? I asked you a simple question and you resorted to calling Obi's name. So, if Obi didn't contest, you wouldn't have had a single escpape route in any conversation regarding performance analysis of the current administration? Another question... |
| Re: Tinubu Names Three New Directors-General For Key Government Agencies by vanitybutiwanti: 6:27pm On Nov 15, 2024 |
Ezemeiyogu:why won't obi come into the conversation? Is it a coincidence that all Ezes think Tinubu is underperforming and only an obi can save Nigeria? What do you expect Tinubu to do that he has not done with the resources available to him? |

lailo:and Tinubu can't stop it right ? |
| Re: Tinubu Names Three New Directors-General For Key Government Agencies by Ezemeiyogu(m): 6:47pm On Nov 15, 2024 |
vanitybutiwanti:You need me to tell you how much went into renovating houses that served others well or how much was used to buy vehicles while the past administration didn't trek? No, if I do, Obi is in my room telling me what to write. Well, let's wait till 10 years until we talk since two years is not enough to assess Tinubu. ...and lest I forget, I am Igbo, yea, but remain sentimental enough to think that anyone who asks questions is doing so because the person supports Obi or is Igbo even when such is not the case. Enjoy! |
| Re: Tinubu Names Three New Directors-General For Key Government Agencies by vanitybutiwanti: 7:22pm On Nov 15, 2024 |
Ezemeiyogu:Which house served others well Mr Eze? All of you are misinformed and talk about things you know nothing about, the vice president residence which was renovated was awarded by fomer president Goodluck Jonathan at the cost of 10b, 7b was paid and it was abandoned, Yemi osibanjo never had an official residence, where he stayed was originally allocated to the CJN, when the new administration came on board, considering the funds spent on the project by previous administration and in a bid to strike out low hanging projects/Abandoned project from the countries balance sheet, the project had to be completed, extra 14b was appropriate for it. In years to come such project won't appear on FG budgets. People like you do not know these things because you're blinded by hatred and petty tribal sentiments, to you anything Tinubu does is bad. And lastly Mr igbo man, why didn't you tell otti your beloved saint to use cars from previous administration? All 36 governors in Nigeria bought new cars when they were sworn in, Buying case is not an issue, here in Rivers state Fubara bought over 20 cars, why is Tinubu buying cars an issue, even obi the overnight saint bought cars for Judges and Traditional Rulers when he was governor, so what's the fuss about tinubu buying cars?

He with equity comes with clean hands, you don't need this epistle to drive your point, simply list the parastatals the appointed heads and their names and tribes. It is very simple. |

vanitybutiwanti:The 36 states governors bought Cars, even if it's a terrible decision, Tinubu should buy, Osinbanjo lived in the bush, therefor the new VP should live in a luxurious quater, but the little token welfare being fought by labour over the years should wait. That building is the only good project started by Jonathan that's yet to be completed right, including the ones that won't gulp the little loan we kept? Continue! |

| Re: Tinubu Names Three New Directors-General For Key Government Agencies by vanitybutiwanti: 8:20pm On Nov 15, 2024 |
Ezemeiyogu:Igbo man, stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill , buying cars is nothing, so because you're hungry, a president of a country or a governor should not buy cars? If you're made president or governor tomorrow, you won't buy cars Mr igbo man? Your saint otti even bought Cars for all his commisioners and state House of assembly members, so why shouldn't Tinubu buy cars? Perhaps you want him to assume the image of a pretender and a deceiver like your brother obi? The vice president residence project was even undertaken by FCT and its a low hanging fruit, just like the renovation of the third mainland bridge was a low hanging fruit, in subsequent year, that project won't appear on budgets because it has been executed. There's nothing Tinubu will do to pacify bigots like you whose mind has been made up, I'm very happy Tinubu himself doesn't give a Bleep about brainwashed igbo bigots, he's doing his thing as though you guys don't exist that's the way to go |

Nico360:Thank you for this piece... Bookmarked. Some revisionists on here have been going about trying to twist the narrative that GEJ did not marginalize and sack Yorubas to replace them with Igbos during his tenure. Here is all the answers for those doubting. To think this man was voted en masse by Yorubas, yet dished out terrible treatment to Yorubas in return is mind boggling. I don't think any other minority from say Bayelsa will ever get the opportunity to be President again in Nigeria |
