Whatever you are, it is clear you are hurting badly. Our only concern right now is to help Nigeria send this incompetent president back home. He is tried and tested and he is not equal to the task.

Collynzo419:
Your new President

If you dont like it, u can choke on your vomit

RevDesmondJuju:
Stop feeling Like kingmakers or equal partners with your gambari slave masters because you are not.

If anything Yorubas are easily fooled enmasse.

Keep deceiving yourselves it is GEJ till 2019. The highest you will do is to occupy obalende for a week before hunger disperse you back to your scavenging existence.

This Buhari nonsense will serve as final confirmation that you are slaves to the north.

RevDesmondJuju:
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.

RevDesmondJuju:
The funniest thing is that my main argument that they are beclouded by ethnocentric jealousy in their latest sellout plans is what they are using to argue here.

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.

Trolled a whole tribe on nairaland. Now that's 5 star trollin!

ISSUES IN THE NEWS
[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.

Lol. I see the aids had induced dimentia already

Aigbofa:
You are mourning the exit of Jonathan already? Blame it on Yoruba, you will feel better.

emerged01:
wow! APC is more coordinated than PDP. I just received call a now asking me to support buhari. Op,you see you are here condemning southwest where some people are working tirelessly to win more souls to the kingdom of buhari. Tell me one reason why i should change my mind after your display of stupidity? huh? come may 29 around this time,Gej will be ex president.

RevDesmondJuju:
I am not a paid agent of any political party my only avenue rests on my free speech and voters card in this election.

If you like get a call from the pope, barrack Obama and shekau all three praying, urging and threatening you respectively to vote Buhari that one is non of my business. I am just here to point out your stupidity and myopic foolish gamble.

RevDesmondJuju:
Lol. I see dy

RevDesmondJuju:
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.

Aigbofa:
You are here to mourn the exit of your dear clueless president. Mourn Desmond, mourn.

RevDesmondJuju:
That is where they are fooling themselves. What did a Tambuwal speakership benefit them? Did he pass more favorable bills on their behalf?

Just like in 1984, the tables will turn on them. Awolowo thought Buhari will align with him like the way Gowon sought his advice during the civil war where he(Awolowo) shamelessly served under Gowon. This is akin to the master of the house taken orders from the mai guard after claiming his house for himself. Awolowo remains on record to be the only politician from among his class who will stoop low to serve under a military regim.

But now they are hoping that a Buhari will cage the SouthSouth and reverse the federation allocation to pre 1999 format. The thought of Akwa Ibom progressing is too painful to bear. But what they forgot is that the north has been in the cold for too long. A Buhari presidency will see to a return of a northernization agenda. If this was to be allowed, and the southwest is isolated again their next move is to don their opposition toga and human rights cap.

The southwest foolishness should not be allowed to undermine the peace and progress of the remaining south.

legendsilver:
Are you ok at all?
Is it only the yorubas that want Buhari as the next president of Nigeria? What of those from south south, south East, north central, North east and north west?
Can't you see that the "wind of change" is everywhere? What makes people ignore the propaganda that trails Buharis candidature?
Its obvious that the force of change keeps exposing every evil plans against the general just as Saul did to David in the bible.
My brother, Nigerians have kicked religion, ethnicity, favourism and bias mind out to the bin/gutters because it didn't bring in development when we first tried it.
Vote for your choice and free others to do likewise. Am from south south, me n my family will cast our vote for Buhari cause I believe he will deliver.
Shalom

RevDesmondJuju:
Let us concentrate on the historical events that saw a Buhari welcomed and celebrated by the Southwest in 1983.

Every single gimmick and rhetoric has been dusted and recycled 32 yrs later.

Matisine riots is now Boko Haram which Buhari and the southwest used in 1983 to justify the incompetency of Shagari.

Today Buhari is campaigning to end the insurgents as he did back then.

The corruption rhetoric has never been louder maybe because the Goodluck and Shagari regimes were democratic administrations and as such freedom of speech and guaranteed critism allows this rhetoric to spread unlike in a military set up were any critism is seen as provocative and anti establishment and is thus clampdown on.

RevDesmondJuju:
Buhari's coup on an elected civilian govt was greeted with cheers and jubilaion on the streets in the southwest. Awolowo did not even mince a word not out of fear of being imprisoned but because out of hatred and jealousy in losing out to Shagari twice in a row. A coup over a Shagari govt, was welcomed and viewed by Awo as an act against his enemy.
Wole Soyinka even welcomed the coup announcement by singing the same anti corruption song and even went further to justify the coup on the basis that the Shagari regime was hopelessly corrupt.

Funny thing is when the Buhari regime settled down their anti corruption crusade was waged in the south with many prominent southwest political holders and buerucrats jailed in Buhari's bias crusade.

Today, the southwest has the highest bloc of Buhari apologist in the south. They foolishly have been sold the corruption lie and Buhari sainthood and are bent on repeating history.

Adminisher:
OP, YOU ARE A SHAMELESS LIAR.

I want you to do an experiment, if you are not a moral coward. PLEASE DO THIS NOW.

List all the achievements of Jonathan under the following headings;
(1)SECTOR..
(2) ZONE THAT MINISTER or PARASTATAL MD COMES FROM

It you don't come up with SW people being 98% responsible for the few achievements of Jonathan then you are a coward.

Also in PDP' s current campaign against Buhari of the last few weeks, please mention the main arrowheads of the campaign against Buhari and all the damaging propaganda regarding Buhari' s health and certificate. If you don't come out with SW people being responsible for the most effective attack against Buhari then you are a coward.
The SE members of the campaign after taken their money and run, the SS members are just using militants to threaten childishly. The Jonathan banner is actually being sustained by a few misguided SW politicians.

The SW is the most advanced region in Nigeria. We make and break governments even without bloodshed.
Some of us support Jonathan and are providing the brains of his campaign (where is TAN now, they have taken money and run away).

HOwever Most people of the SW are VOTING FOR BUHARI (at least 75% now) because we have seen through this president and he is an INFERIOR COMMODITY. He is not even the best from Bayelsa and he cannot be the best for Nigeria. You can build him up how much you like, ascribed qualities he does not even know about to him but he is still not qualified for a second term.

SW Nigeria has decided to hand over the presidency of Nigeria to Buhari and it shall stand.
