CAUTION: - Growing Level of Anger in the Land & Dealing With Frustrated People.

Recall the pics of a young man, who died on Sunday morning at Onigbongbo Bus-stop, Maryland that went viral on social media.

Scenario 1:
The story behind the pix of the dead man goes thus...
A Danfo bus brushed his car and this man left his car, removed his shoes and ran after the Danfo. As he tried to hold on to the bus, the conductor pushed him away and another Danfo bus coming behind hit and ran over him on his head and that was the end.

Now, let us relate the above incident to the 2 scenarios below:

Scenario 2:
A man and a woman were involved in an accident at the ever busy traffic hold up at Maryland by St. Agnes Church, which led to a road rage. The woman rammed into the man's car without intention & unknowingly in a rush to beat the traffic lights.

In a shocking reaction to the disgust of everyone at the scene, the man came out of his car, opened his booth to bring out his wheel spanner and broke the head lamps of the woman's car.

Surprisingly, the woman did not come out of her car, allowed the man in utter rage to satisfy himself and drove off. While it would have cost N100,000 for the woman to replace the head lamps, the fact remains that she left the scene intact and still remains alive.

Scenario 3:
In a bid to avoid knocking down an Okada rider, who drove against the traffic, a driver in a clearly marked bank vehicle rammed his car into a stationary vehicle.

He came out of his car and engaged the Okada rider in hot argument, both raining curses on each other. Unknown to him, the Okada rider was armed with a knife, with which he stabbed the bank driver to death and rode away. Regrettably, the driver died from the incident and his family now mourns.

Advice:
There is so much Anger in the land at this point in time and there's need for all of us to exercise restraint. As far as possible avoid arguments with strangers and If it ever happens, don't allow it to degenerate into a scuffle or violent exchange. As quickly as possible, leave the scene.

There's too much mental trauma and lawlessness in the country right now and it would require a gigantic effort on reorientation of the citizenry, if ever we are to get out of the woods.

Suffice to say that the law enforcement administration in Nigeria remains relatively weak to bring all criminals to justice. Moreover, no level of justice can bring back to life a dead person ...

Always remember that your loved ones still needs you.
Let's Be Careful To Stay Alive!

Why I sent my boys to behead Todays Prints MD –Herbalist
Tunde Ajaja
He used to be a famous herbalist, whom some people, both far and near, ran to for help at his shrine at No. 8, Oloti area in Iragbiji, Osun State, since he took over from his father in 2006.
But at the moment, 37-year-old Asimiyu Agboola, known as Alhaji, is cooling off in the custody of the police in Osun State for being the brains behind the killing of the Managing Director of Todays Prints, Olalekan Ogunranti, 45, who was kidnapped on May 16, 2016 in the state.
Ogunranti’s family had alerted the police when they lost contact with him on May 16 when he travelled to Osogbo on a business trip. They said an unknown person picked his call and claimed to have picked the SIM card on the floor at Iragbiji. Thus, they informed the Osun State police command and the Lagos State Investigation Bureau.
A police source told journalists that the Inspector-General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team moved in on the matter after weeks of “fruitless search” for the deceased, which led to the arrest of Alhaji and four other suspects, including Adesina Muyideen, 27, Ramoni Afolabi, 37, Akeem Akorede, aka Jaruf, 32, and Coker Daniel, 28.
In his exhaustive confession to reporters, Alhaji pointed out that Ogunranti was his client before his death but that he duped the deceased of about N3m, thus, he had to send his boys to kill him to prevent him from spilling out the beans.
Alhaji, seen as an expert in the cure of diabetes and fibroid, said the deceased was brought to his office sometime in March by two of his customers, Ramoni and Akorede, for help, which he rendered.
He began, “Five days after they mentioned him to me, they came with Ogunranti and after listening to him. I gave him a bill of N90,000 and gave him drugs and he left.
“Normally, we assess customer’s financial status before giving them bill. So I asked him to pay that amount because the people that brought him said he was rich. I removed N20,000, which is the real cost of the drugs, and shared the balance of N70,000 into two.”
Perhaps that was the beginning of their business relationship. Alhaji, who is married with children, recalled that 20 days after their first meeting, Ogunranti called back and sounded excited, because the drug he gave him worked and that his situation had improved.
“He requested to come and see me again and I said no problem,” Alhaji continued, “As soon as he came, he was so excited and promised to bring more customers. After the discussion, he said he wanted something that would make him rich. I told the people who brought him and they suggested that he must be a good victim to extort. So, I had to play along.
“I told them that I could do it, and that there were two categories of money ritual. The first was to get money and put it in a bag after some important rituals, and the money would multiply. The second would be to construct a big box and keep it in a room. After several days of prayer, he would be picking money from the box endlessly.
Alhaji said Ogunranti chose the first option; the one that had to do with the bag, because he said he did not have a place to hide the box. Then, he gave him the needed instructions.
“Two weeks later, he called that he had gathered N2.5m. I took the money and put ordinary paper and other stuffs in the bag and tied it up. I warned him not to open the bag until he was instructed to do so. I told him to return in four days with the bag. I told him that he was to bathe in a river which could be very close to where he was living. I gave him options and he chose Ijebu area. I also told him to come with N500,000 to buy more ingredients for the rituals.”
Notably, Ogunranti complained to his herbalist that he wouldn’t be able to afford to give out more money because he didn’t have money again. Alhaji assured his client that his money was on the way as they would soon conclude the preparation.
He continued, “I told him not to worry, and that he would soon be rich because what remained was not much. I told him to go back to Lagos that as soon as I got signal from the gods, he would open the bag. After 10 days, he called back, threatening to involve the government. He said he would arrest us. Then, I knew it was time to shut him up, so I called Akorede and Afolabi and we agreed to shut him up.”
That was how Ogunranti’s journey to the bottom began. Alhaji told journalists that he invited the deceased to come with N150,000 and a goat for the final sacrifice and that he would be able to use the money the moment they finished the sacrifice.
Unknown to the former MD, his herbalist had already initiated plans to eliminate him, as he had alerted and paid two cultists, Daniel and Biggie, to do the job, having helped them in the past.
“I did some incantations for them to become powerful when they were in school,” he said, adding that “I contracted them to eliminate the man. They suggested that he should be lured to a remote place where they would ambush him and kill him. “I gave them N120,000 to do the job.
“I knew the fastest way was to lure him to a river to bathe. So, we selected a river in Obokun in Osun State and I asked Olalekan (Ogunranti) to go the river and bathe as part of the final ritual. We assigned a motorcycle rider to take him to the location that we chose, while we were hiding in the bush at a distance.”
Meanwhile, Alhaji had instructed his client not to look back while having his bath and that if he did, the charm would no longer work. Painfully, that was his end.
“Ogunranti removed his cloths and started bathing when Biggie and Coker attacked him. They came to tell us they had killed him and cut off his head. I asked them where the head was and they said they had thrown it away,” he explained.
After the incident, Alhaji said his informant in the police told him the police were looking for him, thus, he had to run. He left his office and stayed in a hotel where he and his driver, Adesina, were later arrested by the police.
He however blamed the economic situation in the country for his action, saying his patronage had dropped because of the poor economy. “I’m a legitimate herbal doctor. It’s just that the situation of the country is very bad. People do not have money to buy drugs again, that is why I decided to take advantage of the situation to make money. It was when he requested for money ritual that I knew that he would be an easy prey,” he concluded.
In his own confession, Coker, son of a pastor, who hails from Auchi in Edo State and a graduate of Ondo State University, said he took to crime since he could not get a job after his National Youth Service Corps programme in 2011.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Don Awunah, said the suspects were arrested in Lagos and Ondo States respectively, while one of them, Coker Daniel, who is a 32-year-old graduate, led IRT operatives to Ibukun River in Ibukun local government area of Osun State where the mutilated body of the late Ogunranti was recovered. He said the body had been deposited at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso.
The statement added, “All suspects confessed they kidnapped, killed and mutilated the body of the late Olalekan Ogunranti to stop him from disturbing them over the huge sums of money they duped the deceased.
“They led the police to a bush near a river where his headless body was found. It was also discovered that his manhood were cut off. Investigation is ongoing to fish out the remaining suspects who are still at large.”

When it comes to betrayals Igbos leads, not Yorubas
Stop it: For the Igbos that are fond of calling Yorubas betrayals, STOP IT. You are very very wrong. The worst betrayals are Igbos. Like it or not. Many a Igbo, for a few bills can abandon what will benefit all and do what benefits self. If you go by the history of this nation, Yorubas always do what benefits their region and not self, while Igbos do what benefits self, at the expense of our own south east region and others. Get this fact straight for your own good.
Ultimate betrayal: Which betrayal is worse than as soon as an Igbo gets into power, they will become LORD OF THE MANOR. You make an Igbo man Chairman of his very own local Government, he forgets his own town and start primitively acquiring just for SELF. If he goes on to a become even more powerful, he concentrates in just grabbing money for himself and family only, while making sure others groan in poverty. There is no betrayal worse than this.
Oka mma n'ezi: You build industries all over the country, you build gorgeous house all over the country, leaving your own land to groan in pain, you dare call others betrayals? You go to a decapitated part of Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc and turn it into beauty, creating employment for them while annihilating your land via criminal neglect; and then you still look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you are not a betrayal? Igbo man betrays his land over and over and over again. That is the worst betrayal on earth, nothing is worse than that.
Deal: Let's make a deal, why not build 60& of your industries and businesses, and structures in Igboland, then you give other lands about 40%? This is a very fair deal and it is necessary for the survival of Igbo. Put legacy before profit, for you will be creating a lasting legacy of wealth and good life that generations unborn will benefit from. Please, pity your land, & pity your people. I promise to put over 99% of my all in my sweetest land, of Igboland.
Sweetest Igboland: 18 years ago, when I was younger and rascally, even I still sabi better then, to carry all the mula I made in the white man's land and balance a multi million-dollar 9 building structure in my town of Afikpo and my sweetest Igboland. 18 years ago! No be beans. If I do not beautify my land, who will do it for me, spirits? NO. The duty falls on me; Ude.
Igbo woman: The Igbo women, who were opportune to be in extremely powerful positions in this nation are no better. I am talking women who were touching billions of dollars always and these women who should be mothers of our land, were also busy acquiring for themselves, while we do not even have any where our people can clear their goods in Igboland, to stem the shameful migration of our brilliant minds, and youths to other lands in search of greener pasture. These women are praised for being world class brains, for being part of economic teams in Nigeria, etc. I say FA FA FA FOWL. I no send that rubbish. I cringe when some Igbos praise and adore them. For what I say, for what? What did you do for your land while you were there; seeing we are endangered, ? What did you even do for your town, did you turn the own of your birth into a small NYC? I ask because if you could not let your town speak for your brilliancy, open-eye, and knowhow then sorry you are not ready for prime time and truly cannot even do anything for Igboland as charity starts at home. Or should we go into the female oil baron that was in power forever, what did she do for her region, she concentrated on self and family only. Or should we talk about the Igbo political female heavyweights who should know better than to behave just like their male counterparts, thinking only of self. In your mind, iwari enya (you open-eye). Not possible unless you bring the spoils of it home.
Onitsha seaport: What will it take these powerful women and their male counterparts that were/are in power to put their heads together and see how Onitsha ports can come to fruition? What would it take Igbo power houses in Government, in various sectors, Top Igbo businessmen, 5 Igbo governors, national and international financiers to fund the Onitsha Seaport? Today we are grumbling about how Buhari hates us, so damn what? Are you expecting anyone to love you? You will wait eternity for that, love yourselves and your land. Make yourself and your land relevant and the rest will fall into place. It is maddening to see that we are going backwards daily with our penchant for endless and worthless cries of marginalization when it is apparent we're on our own, that no one will show us pity. We need a strategy that would evoke the resilience, brilliance and sacrifice within us. We must put our internal human and material resource to use and stop crying up and down like a bunch of little girls. Afikpo adage; ihie a maghi nke ej'emie, nkeje mie dim (every problem has a solution).
Self-serving: The Igbo lack the bonafides to call any ethnic group betrays when we are betraying our land, and ourselves daily. The typical Igbo person is too damn individualistic and selfish, all about self self self. And when he gets into power, all hell breaks loose, he will intimidate, devalue, mentally torture others, set standard for others than he cannot meet, concentrates all goodies on himself and his family; while those he is leading gnash their teeth in lack and in pain. So damn pompous, power-mad, power-drug, gets sick satisfaction at the size of his/her bank account at the expense of others, builds and builds and builds for self, buys every land available for no just reason, than he has too much cash and power. And because land might finish if he does not quickly acquire them all. So primitive, so demented, so self-serving, so black race, so sad, as the populace is left in agony of lack.There is no worse betrayal than this.
Hausa/Fulani: How can an Igbo person call any group a betrayal when our Igbos in power fall on top of each other in a bid to please the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy? So so embarrassing, so so so embarrassing. They will say whatever will please the Fulani even at the expense of their own lands. All to retain power or get more power. Oh I don't know if the power is made of all the gold in the world that will make me betray Igboland or humanity. They never born that power. I CANNOT ON THIS EARTH please any Hausa/Fulani at the expense of my own land. I cannot, and I will shout this on roof top anywhere on this earth. I do not need that which it will afford me. Better I stay in my bed and drink gari and eat my sweet groundnut than wussy up to any oligarchy for filthy lucre and power. NO NO NO NO NO. I will not be a party to such.
Compare: Some reading this will say, how about the Hausas, Yorubas, that do this and that? We are better than them, etc. Do not compare your ethnic group, Igbo, with any other. We are in a dire situation. We are the only major group that do not even have other Igbo speaking ethnic groups outside Nigeria; as obtainable for Hausa and Yoruba. We are on our own, we have no one at all, no help, no nothing, we are our own solution. We cannot afford to even compare ourselves with others, we must work hard to help our land and ourselves. we must become less individualistic and self-serving, we must look after ourselves and our land. It is very very necessary; for our survival as a people.
Dear Igbo man and woman, name callings have never ever achieved anything for anyone or any group. It is childish, failure-oriented and crass. The best revenge remains success. And to achieve that, we must think less of SELF, and think more of what will benefit all. That will be the first step in achieving success for ourselves, our land and humanity at large.
My pledge: I will always serve myself last. I will put my land, my people, and others, before my own selfish interest. My mantra will remain, All before self. I will continue to practice what I preach, I will continue to lead and live by example. I will not ask anyone to do what I am not already doing. I will not fail Afikpo, Igboland, and humanity. So help me God.
Yours Sincerely,
Maria Ude Nwachi (Afikpo Chic).

Open Letter To Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
My dear Asiwaju,
I am compelled to write this open letter to you because of the state of affairs of the Yoruba nation. Firstly, I wish to acknowledge that fate has put you in a prime position to determine to a large extent the direction that the Yoruba people will go. The indisputable truth is that one may quarrel with your politics but your sagacity is never in doubt. Even those who don't see eye to eye with you agree that you are imbued with unusual native intelligence, uncommon people skills and unrivaled foresight. You, more than any other person, has been the game changer since the advent of democracy in 1999. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to direct this letter to you.
My singular purpose is to tug at the strings of your heart. I am not writing to appeal to partisan considerations but to see, if per chance, I can pour out my heart to you in a manner of speaking. God has blessed you even beyond your wildest imagination. You have installed Senators and Governors. You have removed Governors and even a President. You have also installed a President. There is nothing you have wished for or desired that you didn't get. Fortune has smiled on you. Goodwill follows you everywhere you go. You have done very well- more than most men ever will. However, there is one area that is begging for your urgent attention. This area may well define you and all you have ever achieved. This matter, in my opinion, is the only difference between you and the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Let me restate for the purpose of emphasis that this is the area in which the late sage and Leader of the Yorubas stand head and shoulders above you. It is the reason his name has been a constant denominator in our regional and national politics. It is the reason politicians, friends and foes invoke his name for political advantage and personal glory. It is also the reason why we can't stop talking about him almost thirty years after his death. What will anyone say about you thirty years after you have transited?
Asiwaju Sir, you may be wondering what I'm talking about? It is the issue of legacy. According to Peter Strople, 'Legacy is not leaving something for people, it is leaving something in people'. Legacy is building something that outlives you. Legacy is greater than currency. In the words of Leonard Sweet, ' What you do is your history. What you set in motion is your legacy'. You can't live forever, Sir. No one can. But you can create something that will. Enough of speaking in parables- I shall now speak plainly.
When destiny brought you on the scene, we were enamoured because you championed the case for true federalism. It was your belief then that the Yoruba nation will fare better under a restructured arrangement than under the type of unitary government we run while pretending by calling it a federal government. Everyone knows that there is nothing federal about our government at all. If truth must be told, the Yoruba nation has fared very badly since the advent of our new democracy. And this is not about holding power at the centre.
Let me bring this home: someone passed a comment recently that he would want Biafra to become a reality because he knows the Igbo nation will survive. That comment led me to deeper introspection as I wondered if the Yorubas can truly survive. Let me cite my first example. From Oyo to Osun, Ogun to Ondo, Ekiti to Kwara and Lagos, hardly will one see any serious industry or manufacturing concern owned by a Yoruba person. I am not talking about portfolio businesses or one-man business concerns. Most industries in Oyo State are owned by the Lebanese. The native business and industry gurus who dominated the landscape- Nathaniel Idowu, Amos Adegoke, Lekan Salami, Alao Arisekola, Adeola Odutola, Jimoh Odutola, Chief Theophilus Adediran Oni and others- are all gone with no credible replacements. I'm sure you remember the tyre factory of the Odutolas and how Jimoh Odutola was even asked by the Governments of Kenya and Ghana to set up a similar factory in their countries. Chief Theophilus Adediran Oni, popularly called T.A Oni & Sons started the first indigenous construction company in Nigeria. He willed his residence- Goodwill House, to the Oyo/Western state government, to be used as a Paediatric Hospital, which is now known as T.A Oni Memorial Children Hospital at Ring Road in Ibadan. This sprawling family Estate and residence was cited on a 15acre piece of land, 65 rooms, with modern conveniences, Olympic Swimming Pool and stable for Horses, etc.
People like Chief Bode Akindele started companies like Standard Breweries and Dr Pepper Soft drink factory at Alomaja in Ibadan. Broking House built by the late Femi Johnson, an insurance magnate, still stands glittering in the mid-day sun as an epitome to a rich history that Ibadan has. The most serious and only notable Yoruba entrepreneur we have now is Michael Adenuga. I say this quite consciously because most of the other names are oil and gas barons. Most of what stood as testaments of industry in Oyo State are gone- Exide Batteries, Leyland Autos and many others. In its place are shopping malls and road side markets but no nation develops through buying and selling alone- especially when you're not actually producing what you're selling. Hypermarkets and supermarkets have taken over because of the need to feed our insatiable consumer-appetite and foreign tastes. In one instance, an ancient landmark in the form of a hotel was demolished to pave way for a mall. That is how low we have sunk. If our past is better than our present- if we always look back with nostalgia frequently, then there is a problem.
The case of other states is not different. Osun's case is pathetic. Ditto for Ondo and Ekiti. Ogun State can boast of some factories at Sango-Otta and Agbara axis but most of them are not owned by the Yorubas. There is no significant pharmaceutical company owned by any Yoruba except for Bond Chemicals in Awe, Oyo State- and its wallet share is very insignificant. For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don't forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective.
Asiwaju, I will like to also talk about the state of education in the Yoruba nation. Our education has gone to the dogs. We have a bunch of mis-educated and ill-educated young men and women roaming the streets. Ibadan, for instance, had the first University in Nigeria and the first set of research centres in Nigeria ( The Forestry Research Institute, the Cocoa Research Institute (CRIN), The Nigerian Cereal Research Institute Moor Plantation (NCRI), the NIHORT (Nigerian Institute of Horticultural Research), the NISER (Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research), IAR&T (Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training), amongst several others). Ibadan was the bastion of scholarship with people like Wole Soyinka, JP Clark, D.O Fagunwa and Amos Tutuola as residents. In the May/June 2015 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, Abia came tops. Anambra came 2nd while Edo was 3rd. Lagos placed 6th while Osun and Oyo was 29th and 26th. Ekiti was 11th, Ondo State was 13th and Ogun State was 19th. In 2013 WASSCE, only Lagos and Ogun States were the Yoruba States above the national average. If we do an analysis of how Lagos placed 6th in 2015, you will discover that it was substantially because of other nationalities resident in Lagos. For proof, please look no further than the winners of the Spelling Bee competition which has produced One-Day Governors in Lagos State. Since inception in 2001, other nationalities have won the competition six times (Ebuka Anisiobi in 2001, Ovuwhore Etiti in 2002, Abundance Ikechukwu in 2006, Daniel Osunbor in 2008, Akpakpan Iniodu Jones in 2011 and Lilian Ogbuefi in 2012). Sir, there is something seriously wrong about our state of education. From the vintage times of Obafemi Awolowo who initiated 'free education', we have regressed into a most parlous state.
Let me talk about roads, housing and infrastructure . The first dualized road in Nigeria, the Queen Elizabeth road from Mokola to Agodi in Ibadan was formally commissioned by Queen Elizabeth in 1956. The first Housing Estate in Nigeria is Bodija Housing Estate (also in Ibadan) which was built in 1958. The state of roads in the Yoruba nation has become pathetic. Our hinterland are still largely rural. Even some state capitals like Osogbo and Ado-Ekiti are big villages when you compare them to towns in the South East. How many new estates have been built over the last decade? Even Ajoda New Town lies in ruins.
We have abandoned the farm settlement strategy of the Western Region and only pay lip service to agriculture. Instead of feeding others like we once did, others now feed us. We plant no tomatoes, no pepper and the basic food that we require. The Indians have bought the large expanse of water body that we have in Onigambari village. The water body in Oke Ogun of Oyo State can provide enough fish to feed the whole of the South West. From being a major cocoa exporter many years ago, one can point to just a few vestiges of factories that still deal with Cocoa in the Yoruba nation. 80% of Cocoa processing industries in the South West have been shut down. The Chinese have taken over the cashew belt at Ogbomoso in Oyo State. They have even edged out the indigenes as brokers. They now come to the cashew belt to buy from the local farmers, sell on the spot to other Chinese exporters who now process the cashew nuts and import them back into Nigeria at a premium. Sir, there are only 7 major cashew processing plants in Nigeria and you can check out the ownership. The glory has departed from the Yoruba nation.
Apart from Asejire, Ede, Ikere Gorge and Oyan dams built ages ago, where are the new dams to cater for increased population and water capacity for the Yoruba nation? How have we improved on what our heroes past left us? Maybe apart from certain areas in Lagos State, others can't even supply their citizens with pipe-borne water.
Our youth which we used to take pride in are largely a mass of unemployed and unemployable people. Have you noticed the abundance of street urchins, area boys, touts and 'agberos' that we now have all across the Yoruba nation? Have you noticed the swell in the ranks of NURTW (I mean no disrespect to an otherwise noble union)? Have you noticed the increase in the number of Yoruba beggars? There was a time that it was taboo for a Yoruba man to beg- but no more. The spirit of apprenticeship is dead. There was a time that people who learn vocational skills celebrate what we referred to as 'freedom'. While that is largely moribund now in the Yoruba nation, the Igbos still practice it with great success.
The only thing we can boldly say the Yoruba nation controls is the information machinery- the press. We own largely the newspapers- the Nation, Punch, Nigerian Tribune, TV Continental and a few others. It is because of our control of this information machinery that we have rewritten the narrative in the country with the misguided self-belief that things are normal and we are making progress. A look beyond the surface will prove that this is so untrue.
We are largely divided. For the first time in the history of the Yoruba nation, religion is about to divide us further- and it is starting from Osun State. You are married to a Christian. My own father-in-law is an Alhaji. That is how we have peacefully do-existed but the fabrics are about to be torn to shreds because of poor management of issues. Afenifere has been reduced to a shadow of itself. OPC that once defended Yoruba interests has gone into oblivion. Yoruba elders have been vilified in the name of politics and partisanship. It is no longer news to see teenagers throwing stones at their elders because of their political indoctrination. Even under the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Yorubas never belonged to just a single party- yet our unity was without blemish. Now, our values have gone down the drain.
Asiwaju, I believe I have said enough. The task is Herculean but I believe Providence has brought you here for such a time like this. It is time for the Yoruba nation to clean up its acts. What do we really want? How can we quickly right the wrongs? The Yoruba nation is in a state of arrested development. The Yoruba nation is gasping for breath and crying for help. Will you rise up to the occasion? I am aware you understand that all politics is local and charity begins at home. Our fathers gave us a proverb: 'Bi o'ode o dun, bi igbe ni'gboro ri'. I know there are no quick fixes but I also know that if there is anyone who has the capacity to do something about our current situation, that person is you. This should be the legacy you should think of. Your legacy is our future.
Yours Very Sincerely,
Adebayo Adeyinka

Gbenga Adeboye And The APC Masquerade
Thirteen years ago, Gbenga Adeboye passed on to eternity. He was laid to rest in May 2003. An indigene of Ode-Omu in Osun State, he was known for several rib-cracking jokes and his radio programme on the then OGBC 2 FM Station had everyone in the South West glued to their radio sets for the duration of the show. One of the best stand-up comedians from this country, Gbenga Adeboye once shared a joke about a white tourist that came to Abeokuta during the Masquerade festival. As he took the 'Oyinbo' man round the ancient city, they came across a masquerade performing magical acts on the street. His drummers eulogized him as follows:
"You can't do like your father
Or can you do like your father?
If you can do like your father
Stand on your head and dance".
In response, the masquerade stood on his head and danced and everyone hailed him.
Suddenly, the drummers changed the drum beats:
"If you can do like your father
Do many acrobatic display in a jiffy"
In response, the masquerade did several acrobatic displays to the admiration of everyone who shouted and hailed him. But the drummers were not finished yet.
They beat the drums again:
"If you can do like your father,
Let someone bring out his gun
And shoot you and you must not die"
As if on cue, a young man stepped out from the crowd with his dane gun aimed at the masquerade. The masquerade was unperturbed. The crowd went into a frenzy as they shouted, 'Shoot'. In defiance, the masquerade also approached the man with the gun and screamed, 'Shoot me'.
"Gbuaaaa!", the dane gun boomed. There was silence in the crowd. But the masquerade did not fall but rather kept on dancing. There was another shot, "takooo" but the masquerade shook himself and danced more vigorously.
The singers and drummers kept hailing him in 'nines' and 'tens' ( ni mesan, ni mewa). The drummers changed the beat as they erupted in the masquerade's praise:
"We shouldn't envy a child because he resembles his father
This masquerade resembles his father too much
We shouldn't envy a child because he resembles his father."
The white tourist became so excited! He had never seen anything like this before. "Oh I love Africa. This is beautiful", he said. Excitedly, the white man brought out his own pistol so as to test the masquerade. He walked towards the direction of the masquerade with his pistol drawn while everyone hailed the masquerade and urged the oyinbo to shoot. On seeing the white man, the masquerade quickly called his "atokun" (the person who controls his movement) aside and asked quietly in his usual guttural voice, "Atokun kilo nsele? This whiteman is a member of our team ni?" (Coordinator, what is happening? Is this white man a member of our team?). The Coordinator said no. Then the masquerade retorted, "And you are standing there watching while he attempts to shoot me with a real gun? Na Sango go kill you? No let am shoot me o". The masquerade started pleading.
While the conversation went on, the drummers kept drumming:
"Do it
That is what a man does.
Do it.
Do like your father."
The masquerade then turned to the drummers and shouted, "E no wan better for una ni? Did you ever see an oyinbo man shoot my father? E ya were ni?"( Did you ever see my father shot by a white man? Are you crazy?).
It was at this point that Gbenga Adeboye intervened and told the masquerade, "But you're from heaven now. Why are you afraid of the white man's pistol? Patapata you go back home".
The masquerade replied by appealing to Gbenga Adeboye, "Haba Buoda Gbenga, you don't know me again at Adatan. I am Ojelabi the son of Egunleti resident at Adatan in Abeokuta. I'm not from heaven o! Tell your friend not to shoot me o, na beg I dey beg una o. The man wey shoot the other time na band member o, we don rehearse for house o, na only etu dey hin gun no be bullet o, my children are young o."(The man that shot me initially is my band member and we did a lot of rehearsals at home before trying the trick. It is even only gun powder that is in the gun. There are no bullets there. Please, my children are young).
As funny as this story is, it reminds me of the situation of this APC government- before elections and after. The APC masquerade was full of tricks and promises right before the election. To them, if terrorist attacks lasts beyond three months, the Commander-in-chief must be culpable and may even be a major player. To the former opposition candidate who is now the President, there was nothing like subsidy. The former Lagos State Governor and now the Minister of Power and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola wrote quite a few 'take-aways' and in a 2014 speech, he said, “I agree that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity. I agree with you it is simple with what we have done in Lagos within the areas where we are constrained showed that it can be done. But the only way you and I will have electricity in this country is to vote out the PDP. Unless you vote for the All Progressives Congress, APC to change an inefficient government, it is going to be difficult to have electricity." The former opposition party heavily criticized the railway coaches and even called it "locomotive" derisively. They promised bullet trains when they get to office.
Little did the crowd of uninformed and deceived observers know that the plot was well rehearsed by APC's masquerade. Of course, you know the type of people who follow a masquerade. Babatunde Raji Fashola could come and give his acrobatic 'take-away' dances because he was on a familiar terrain. Truth be told, is there really anyone who would not give a good account of himself with the resources available to Lagos accompanied by the efficient propaganda machinery of the Lagos-Ibadan press? Even Ambode is lighting up Lagos now. Unfortunately, Babatunde Fashola is now better known as the Minister for Darkness. His masquerade capitulated in front of the white man's pistol. He cuts a pitiful sight nowadays as he often had to explain away why Nigeria's power output fell from 5,000MW to zero megawatt twice recently or the inability of the power stations to get constant gas supply or why the tariffs had to go up.
Lai Mohammed now understands that running a propaganda machinery is different from running the Ministry of Information. He has now been subjected to the same treatment he subjected others to in the recent past. With the white man's pistol facing the APC masquerade, suddenly they know subsidy which they initially didn't acknowledge as existing now had to go. Amaechi can now see clearly the trains he once called locomotives. Fashola now understands the challenges of distribution and generation and has toned down his rhetorics. However, the crowd is already in a frenzy and all they want is a performance. The masquerade has over-promised. It just can't afford to under-deliver. To the crowd, if the masquerade could face the dane gun, it
can also face the pistol. Truth be told, governing a complex entity like Nigeria is not a child's play. The interplay of forces demand that wisdom and caution are applied in several situations. Sitting in the driver's seat will give the driver a vantage view he could never have as a passenger. After about a year, reality is setting in. Very soon, the crowd will discover that after all, the masquerade is actually a human being and not a heavenly being.
We miss you, Olugbenga Adeboye.
