berem:Honestly, should we talk about our leader in this manner? We reserve the right to support any political party of our choice; but calling our leader 'clueless' is rarely an act of modesty. Please no offence is intended. |

Agbaje, PDP & the Igbo Conspiracy to usurp political power in Lagos. A historical perspective first of all will serve as a refresher for all those that don't understand the context of the struggle for political power in Lagos on a local scale and Nigeria on a grander one between the Igbos and Yorubas. Just before the outbreak of the civil war, we have an Awolowo saying that if the SE is forced out of the union, then the SW would be forced to review its own place in Nigeria also. Note the words properly. The South East then had withdrawn all its civil servants from the federal level and its soldiers. There was a stalemate in play between Gowon and Ojukwu. Awolowo went to meet Ojukwu who promised to give him some time to facilitate some sort of raprochment. Awolowo left the SE and was on his way home when Ojukwu declared Biafria. Because Awolowo did not immediately follow suit, he and by extension the Yorubas have forever been tagged traitors by the Igbos. They have not asked Ojukwu who took them to war some hard and difficult questions. No Sir. It was Awolowo and the Yorubas that were to blame for their loss. It's always easy to blame everyone else but ourselves for failure. Then came the issue of the Red Cross and food distribution. The Red cross was sending food for the civilian populace which was being seized by the Biafrian forces then. Awolowo as a member of the war council on the Federal side, surmised that since the food was not getting to its intended destination in the first place, it didn't make sense to continue to drop food for the civilians which would be hijacked by the Biafran Army. Gowon bought into the idea and the Red Cross blockade was instituted. Its convenient to forget the fact that food that was meant to reach the civilian populace was being seized by the Biafrian Army.. Awolowo was responsible for hunger hitting th civilians in Biafria now. The second issue was the 20 Pound refund on all bank account owners after the war. After the war, Gowon was not willing to part with any money for the assimilated Biafrians largely because banking records then were destroyed. Awolowo spoke out against the idea and mooted the concept of giving 20 pounds to each Biafrian citizen. To them, Awolowo had wiped out their economic base. Thus began the cycle of hatred by the Igbos towards the Yorubas. A cycle that has come full circle in 2015. Since after the war, the Igbos instead of holding Ojukwu responsible for their defeat (after all, which General starts an undertaking without first counting the costs? Please read Art of War by Sun Tzu) or even Gowon who was the Head of State during the war, hold the Yorubas and Awolowo responsible for their defeat. It makes one wonder, as a member of the Federal side in the war, was Awolowo supposed to make policies that would make them win the war? What then was Ojukwu's job ![]() Anyways, since then, The Igbos have considered the Yorubas their enemies and have done everything to frustrate them politically in Nigeria. Remember Abiola and Nzeribe? Remember Abacha and Daniel Kanu The list is endless. The Yorubas have played opposition politics for most part throughout the history of democracy in Nigeria and have not bothered mostly with power at the center.The Hausa Fulani elite have never trusted the Igbo elite again since the war and have consciously sidelined them in the major arteries of power. The blame for this as usual always comes to the Yorubas. The Igbos that have sided since the civil war with the Hausa Fulani to frustrate the Yoruba politically in Nigeria still blame the Yorubas for their predicament. They have called us Ako bata Fulani, Yoruba, treacherous, Judas, good for nothing etc. The names are endless. It's no great surprise then that upon Jonathan's ascension to power, the Igbo hawks led by Pius Anyim Pius have seized control of his Presidency and consciously sidelined the Yorubas. They are also gunning for civil war revenge by trying to usurp Yoruba land and political power. In this cause, they have gained the trust of modern day Afonja's in Yoruba land that would sell their birthright for a pot of soup and porridge. Nigeria is made up of distinct ethnic groups with distinct localities. The Yorubas own and are found in Lagos, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti and parts of Kogi and Kwara. Politically, they are in control of all the states save Kogi and Kwara which was seized by the Fulani's through the betrayal of Afonja way back. Now, the Igbo's and some elements from the South South in cahoots with the PDP and the Jonathan Presidency are trying to seize Lagos state with the help of Bode George and the Ogunlewe's. Their arrow head is Jimi Agbaje. How did i reach this conclusion? Igbos have been drumming up sentiments about Lagos being No Man's land. They are building palaces and giving themselves titles in Lagos state. Can you imagine? They even have on Igbo man Nwulu or what’s his name running for Federal House of Representative in Lagos state. Whose interests is he going there to represent? Yoruba or Igbo? What next? An Igbo man as Lagos Governor? or even representing Lagos as Minister right?? Can a Yoruba man do that in Onitsha or Aba or Owerri? Can any Yoruba man make any form of noise in Igbo land even if he was born there and has spent all his life there? They want what they cannot give. Imagine this scenario, you have a guest living in your domain, you allow him do business and live and grow wealthy and then he starts to flex muscles with you. Wants to start imposing his culture and traditions on you that gave him space to flourish in the first place. Before i digress, one of the cardinal aims of the Yoruba people and any true Awoist has been resource control and true federalism. Guess who voted against this in the National Conference organized by Jonathan? Bode George. Why? They are not regarded nor held in respect by the average Yoruba man on the streets and know they will go into political oblivion once Regional autonomy is achieved. They don't want regional autonomy but want to seize power in Lagos. Since they cannot appeal to the Yoruba omoluabi's, they have since bought into the Igbo sentiments of taking over Lagos and have entered into an unholy alliance with the slogan, Lagos for all... While I agree with the slogan, Lagos for all who come and live by the rules and regulations of Lagos and its indigents, I do not agree with a Lagos for all where the interests of Lagos indigents will be submerged to those of Igbos and Non Indigents. Why you might ask? Simple, No state in Nigeria despite all the pretentious mantra of abolition of Indigent/Non Indigent will ever allow a Non member of their ethnic group to posses or wield political power. Abuja is supposed to be the capital of Nigeria is it not? Has any Southerner been ever chosen to head Abuja? Even by the current President Jonathan? Will the Northerners allow it? Has any Yoruba man held any elective political office in any part of Igbo land? Even councilor? Why would the Igbos feel they can come to Lagos and usurp political power here? Awolowo caught up to their plans then and made sure it did not work. The onus is on us now to make sure that this plan does not come to fruition. Agbaje is a gentleman that i have immense regard and respect for. If you sell the Yorubas so you can gain temporary power, you will receive due judgment.. Lagos is, was and will always be Yoruba land.. Agbaje, you have been warned. All Omoluabis should please reprint and reproduce, send via blackberry and whatsapp. This should be a siren song to take our Lagos back from the would be usurpers. Eko o ni baaje o |
