Old man NO BODY CARES stop seeking relevance, you had your time in the sun now let others have theirs

You can fight for Nigeria interest and still be conscious of serving Yoruba interest.

It is only the Southerners that always think that you must forget your source because you want to be pro-Nigerian, the Northerners understood that game better than us.

Ebora Owu.

Although I don’t seems to align with your political school of thought but anyone saying you’re not Yoruba deserves to be taken to Aro and locked up forever.

With regards to the philosophy you mentioned, it’s an insult to even compare you to Awolowo because what Awo did for the Yorubas several decades ago, you haven’t done one-tenth of it so it’s better you continue to claim that nationalistic ideology like you always do.

How can some people believe that Obj is from Anambra....A man with an Owu tribal mark....married to Taiwo Obasanjo(a family member)... Even though I don't like Obj but to deny his Yoruba background is the height of foolishness & imbicity

Ipob through its efulefu agent spreading Fake news, foolish Ojukwu & Adefuye propagating nonsense....

Imagine nonsense ,,Buhari is Jubril from Sudan... Nonsense of the highest order from Brainwashed IPIGs and it's stupid leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Obasanjo and Fela may be miles apart but there is one thing they know very well about the Yoruba and that is that the Yoruba will only praise and show support to you when they are benefitting directly from you.

No single Yoruba elder spoke up when both Obasanjo and Fela were detained in prison.

Like Obasanjo, Fela was hated by majority of Yorubas and only readopted when he died. They will do same for Obasanjo just as they did with Abiola.

Obasanjo is a very wise man. Being a General is not in any way or form to be rekless. He knew nothing will come out of a struggle by the Yorubas to leave Nigeria other than a big loss. As an Army General, he knows where the strenght of the army is and that is the Awusa Fulani Muslim north and knows very well the Yoruba nation doesn't stand a chance.

So, if Awujale said "without proof" that they're not from Ife, has he denied their being Yoruba?..

A flat head is disproportional to common sense.

Everything must contain the name "Bola Tinubu ".
O ga o.
For a fact, Baba Obasanjo is a Yoruba man. In fact, he does not need a national identity card with his owu tribal marks. That he could withold the statutory transfer to Lagos and remain unapologetic still strikes me as uncaring and reckless.
Till date, it is just for God and the brilliance of Asiwaju Tinubu that kept Lagos running then and people getting their salaries. Pa Obasanjo almost killed Lagos and this among his actions, raised the issue about his parentage. No true son of Yoruba will act the way Pa Obasanjo acted in office.

So I agree that prominent Yoruba leaders have valid reasons to doubt if he is Yoruba.

A confused baba...Oduduwa isn't the father of Yorubas nor is Ile-Ife the cradle of the race....Oduduwa happened to be the progenitor of the Oduduwa dynasty just like Othoman Dan Fodio established a dynasty in Sokoto and Gwandu..So, you can't be more Yoruba than anybody else, given that the origin of the Yoruba race is yet to be unravelled.

Besides, it's widely acknowledged that you've, on numerous occasions, worked against the collective interest of the Yoruba race. And these actions were taken in cahoots with some non-Yoruba actors in order to undermine the interest of the Yoruba. This is why some concerned Yoruba men and women have chosen to see you as an outsider. In fact, Yorubas will never invite an Obj to any meeting or endeavour where the strategic interests of the people will be discussed. To us, Obj is more of an Igbo man or an Hausa man in our midst.

As a matter of fact, Obj is a mistake of a leader. He is one of the reasons why Nigeria has remained backward and stagnant. He is vainglorious, vindictive, and wicked. He had the best opportunity to lay a new, good foundation for Nigeria but frittered it away by pandering to the whims and caprices of his Hausa masters. Where he should have been firm, he was soft. Where he should have borrowed wisdom, he exhibited stupidity. He did nothing about the introduction of Sharia, but chose to seize Lagos allocations after the state created new local council development areas, even when the Supreme Court said that the FG had no right to seize allocations to the other federating units. It took President Yar'adua, an Hausa man, to release those funds. Also, Obj brazenly rigged the 2007 election for his party PDP not minding that he was creating a very bad precedent for the country.

I can go on and on. The fact remains that Obj is everything that a Yoruba man (omoluwabi) isn't...We need to check his DNA.

Obasanjo further said he rejected a request by two senior Yoruba retired soldiers to lead the Western Region out of Nigeria, which would be similar to what the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu tried to do for the South-East and failed.

My people, the Yorubas, have had a spineless, indecisive, naive and clearly selfish leadership from time immemorial, in the excerpts above General Obasanjo pretty much confirms this. However, Obasanjo is right about one thing, Yoruba leaders are not genuine in their support for restructuring. Infact, I can say Yoruba leaders have never been genuine in their support for restructuring. I am more than certain the day Yorubas stop looking up to their leaders and start asking the right questions is the day Nigeria begins to be a better place.

In my view, Awolowo had one opportunity to save us from this mess if he sided or atleast was neutral during the Civil war.

codemaniacs:
there is no way Awolowo would have "sided or atleast was neutral during the Civil war" because the zik and other igbo leaders were very anti Yoruba, when the igbos controlled the central govt they removed indigenes from federal positions in federal institutions in those states and replaced them with igbos and this led to the video released by a northern leader saying he would prefer to hire a foreigner and than hire an igbo person even Akintola released an audio on radio that igbos were taken positions that should go to the Yorubas in the Yoruba region...

if the igbos want to be pro-igbo they can be in their own region...

if the civil war was successful, it means
1. the attack on Ore by the Igbos led by a Yoruba person will have been successful which means millions of Yorubas would have been killed as Igbos attacks progress through states in the western region.

2. the whole Nigeria would have been under Igbo domination and it would have led to more civil wars because igbos will have to attack and conquer each region which means killing millions of non-igbo people and replacing their leaders with igbos...

3. it would have led to massive hatred for igbos by people from other regions...
e.t.c..

On the contrary, I believe Awolowo could have chosen to stay neutral. Neutral means Neutral not meeting with Ojukwu one day advising him not to go to war despite his people being slaughtered like flies and taking up a cabinet position within Gowon's government the next day.

Look sir, Igbo leaders were anti-yoruba, Yoruba leaders were anti-igbo and Hausa-Fulani leaders were anti-everyone else. We were all anti-each other, our leaders knew this pre-independence yet somehow they sought to force us to live together for their own selfish ends.

I am a Yoruba nationalist and I honestly believe if the Yorubas were allowed to be as a separate entity, we would be further along and much better off than we are within this geographical entity called Nigeria. As much as I understand Awo's rationale, his greatest failing as a leader (and I say this respectfully knowing no one is perfect and we all have our weaknesses) was his change of heart.

Pre-independence, Awo was on record as advocating for a separation of the Oduduwa Republic. To have states built around ethnic groups and so forth. He did not believe in the Federalist structure. That is the Awo I love, not this Awo that left Calabar prisons and started supporting One Nigeria. He knew there was never One Nigeria to begin with but his political ambitions drove him in that direction and the rest is history as we know it.

Hausa-Fulani have no business with the Yorubas, the Yorubas have no business with the Igbos and the Igbos have no business with the Ijaws. We were never ever fully allowed to determine who or what we wanted to be, at every turn we have had the quest for our independence truncated by evil men in high places and the result is this One Nigeria Frankenstein monster we now see. Until we go our separate ways, these problems will continue to persist. I thank Buhari for reminding us of what we really are.
