Did you miss the part where I rightly said you have no positive contribution in the scheme of things?

If you like dig up Sarduna's corpse and vote for him. Nobody gives a Phuck.

I am just highlighting your hypocrisy and collective stupidity.

@OP


You are a sad bigot and pitiful clown. This is the second thread from you, within a few hours, targeting the SW and Yorubas . Na by force? Why not simply go and vote for whoever you want and let others do same? As many of us told you on your silly thread below, it is not possible to coerce the Yorubas to vote on ethno-religious ground after the monumental failure of GEJ over 5 years. Don't make the mistaken assumption of thinking the Yorubas are completely consumed with and susceptible to ethno-religious bigotry, to the point of being blind to reason, as you and others are.

[b]The Yorubas have supported GEJ enough. In 2011 the Yorubas voted unanimously for GEJ and helped him win all States in the SW bar Osun [/b]on his way to becoming President. Ribadu won in Osun and Buhari got nada from the SW in 2011 while GEJ overwhelmingly got our mandate to go and make a difference as President. GEJ horrendously failed to deliver on the trust reposed in him. That, and that alone, is now what the Yorubas are judging him on. Find something better to do with your time because constituting yourself into a nuisance to others just shows you are a pathetic menace.

This alliance has only confirmed who Yorubas are in the eyes of the south south and middle belt.

If anything at all, no matter the outcome of the elections come February, the southwest will come out used and discarded.[/s]

[size=18pt]Yorubas are the Problem with Nigeria – By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi[/size]

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

i. The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
ii. Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
iii. The Yoruba Factor and “Area-boy” Politics.

See also The Adulteress’ Diary by Lamido Sanusi

My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was ” Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors” published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled ” The Igbo, the Yoruba and History” (Aug. 21, 1998).
In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.
The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. [size=18pt] After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention. [/size]
When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.
Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other “nationalities” that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.

I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.

iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution.

The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.

Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.

After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.

If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems.

Bro, that one is a sheep in human clothing. A confirmed chameleon as you said, he will soon log on with that other moniker to curse the Yorubas. Coward

Gbawe:
Of course. I am no 'omo ale' like the fake Yorubas you like and cackle with on this forum. While I abhor the sort discrimination and prejudice demonstrated by the OP, I will always defend my ethnic group passionately against revisionism and vile slurs from ethnocentric charlatans like you and the OP. That I am not your 'type' of Yoruba does not bother me at all. I am here speak in defence of what is best for Nigeria and not to be liked or praised by repellent bigots like you.

They know I am stating the truth and the only thing they have in response is Igbo this Igbo that like say I be igbo.

This is like calling some one dirty only for them to throw their faeces on you.

Lol. I am so much enjoying their rants.

This article does not make any sense at all.

1. if fanatical Muslims are supporting Buhari, why are you not talking about the fanatical xtains supporting Jonathan? If it was an Islamic scholar from the north that threatened to place a fatwa on anyone that oppose Buhari like oyedepo today, everyone will go bananas!

2. What piece of the action are you talking about? If it is true that other regions are enjoying the piece of the action, how is this trickling down to the common citizens in those regions? the last time i checked, every part of the nation is experiencing the same poverty , unemployment and other social ills the country is going thru.

3. If the south south really hold any bargaining powers, how is the oil benefiting an ordinary citizen in Bayelsa? and how is his/her life any better from someone living in Akure? How is the life of an almajiri northerner with "strong political bloc" better than an average citizen living in Oshogbo?

4. Even if this is true, what section of the constitution calls for a bi-election upon the death of a sitting president? Was that part of the constitution silent or missing when Yaradua died?


The article lacks critical thinking and should be in the dustbin.

I move the motion and call on the mods to throw this piece of garbage that was written by a simpleton, blinded with ethnic and religious bias into the trash can.

Cheers
