Wailing Wailers do you want them to machete our governor head in that war zone ?

Any of you who had the privilege of a descent secondary school education will understand the "frog in water" theory.

The Frog in water theory stems from the lab experiments done in biological classes to show how cold blooded reptiles depend on their surroundings for warmth.

It basically involves two stages;

The first stage involves putting the frog in a beaker of hot water. Naturally the frog jumps out of the beaker due to the hot temperatures.

The second stage involves placing the frog in a beaker of cold water and slowly heating it up on a Bunsen burner. Remarkably the frog just sits there oblivious of what is going on. It will continue in this state of oblivion until it dies from the steaming water.

Now, when we apply this frog in water theory in our political landscape I see only parallels with the SW political class and general populace who never see beyond their noses.

It usually takes sweeping and drastic changes for the SW electorate to react just like the frog when placed in hot water but the SW is usually oblivious to slow and latent changes.

For how can we reconcile how the SW will suddenly again root for Buhari after 3 decades? The last time Buhari arrived on the political scene, he was supported heavily in the SW because at that time Shagari's govt was so vilified by the SW press that any "change" no matter how undemocratic or unconstitutional was welcomed.

Fast forward to present day and we can see how a well oiled propaganda machinery steered the SW voting block back to buhari.

They were made to believe that Buhari has since repented (this is the cold water stage) and can not act despotically in a democratic setting.

But since Buhari was sworn in he has never even bothered to tour the SW and show his gratitude for the enormous and crucial support they lent him. It is obvious that the SW press and media consultants were able to re-brand an old duara goat like Buhari to appear as a docile sheep.

Now that Buhari is slowly showing the SW that a despot at 40 is a despot for life they still cling stubbornly to the change rhetoric and Buhari's mythical puritan disposition.

The SW may never know they have entered one chance just like our frog sitting in the beaker of lukewarm water.

With great pain in our heart, we felt rejected and trampled upon on this day 6th of March, 2016 when the rights and hope of the yoruba people residing in Maidan and Agiliti were jettisoned by the Governor of Lagos on his proposed visitation to mile 12, vis Agiliti and Maidan today. Having stood in the scorching sun for hours waiting for Ambode, we found out he has just been dissuaded from visiting the scene of the riot by the Hausa leaders in mile 12.
To this end we say
(1)We don't want mile 12 market any longer.
(2) No more Okada riders in Agiliti
(3) Mile 12 market should be relocated to its proposed site.
Failure on the side of Government to give us this will result in us fighting for our right in the best means known to us.

We regret the government of APC in Lagos state.

Let any sane minded person tell us if a responsible government will not visit the following site if he indeed cares about the people he governs

amiskurie:

diportivo:

You are all annoyingly arrogant , Half educated and hopeless dogooders .
1 When fashola banned okada ,bearing in mind , the lawlessness of the okada riders , what did you all do ?
All those okada banned in Abuja , Benin etc , where do you think they moved to when they packed their okada into the back of lorries?

2 when fashola passed the cremation bill that saved Nigeria from Ebola , did you not oppose the bill based on your ignorant and backward foreign religions.

3 when Fashola increased LASU fees to stop the degree mill . The degree mill that ensures that bad cheating students will graduate and tussle with good students for employment and jobs .
What did you all do ?

4 what do you alway say about slum removal . E sha nu won


I have come to believe that the greatest enemies of Yorubas are yorubas themselves. A culture of not accepting superior debate by the less knowledgeable is sipping into polity .
To me , I have linked this the fact that the traditional religion and it teachings keep retreating year by year . Now , we have many educated people with a serious lack in the power of perspective ( ESU).
When the nationals of a nation ( Yoruba nation ) are resistant to change .
When they are hostile to the idea of the government enforcing the law( colonial) . Why are you surprised that imbeciles, thugs , criminal and lawless folks find your town and cities comfortable.

N:B there have been numerous conflicts in that mile 12 market. Never before has it gone beyond the normal skirmishes and fighting on the street . From my point of view , what has changed is that , like the Igbo mass migration of the 80's , the Almajiris have also discovered Lagos. The new set have no mechanism for
My appeal to all omoluabis
They must allow and support the government to enforce all Laws.
Colonial laws and more recent laws .
Laws on building codes
Residence
Loitering
Town planning
Education .

ChoCandyDiamond:
BUT on a very serious note, the governor suppose to visit the place to sympathize with the people,which kind of cowardice is this

MagicBishop:
Since the Yoruba have refused to listen to commonsense or listen to history or even refused to look around and see the Hausa Fulani supremacy agenda unfolding in the middle belt and polity at large then should they resign themselves to eternal slavery AND MOST IMPORTANTLY the Yoruba should not drag us in the better south into their evil caliphate of slavery.

May God grant yoruba the slavery they wish for

Maybe buhari told him not to talk
