Sanwó-olú picked Femi hamzat as deputy má.. The same hamzat that contested primary with ambode during his first tenure. Anything is possible but na sense. But I know aketi won't pick òkè because he himself wants to be godfather for Ondo.. And having òkè as deputy won't make that possible.. By the way we haven't heard from Segun Abraham?....is he supporting aketi?

There is a part of history of North Nigeria that many Southerners are unaware of but which if care is not taken would also repeat itself in South. It has to do with alcohol.

In the early days of colonialism spirits and liquor was imported for the whitemen consumption only. Many of them bootlegged the product and sold to natives. Observers soon picked up that liquor reacts differently in the whiteman system than it does with the blackman, when consumed in same quantity and under same conditions and similarity of physicallity. So they raised duties and price to limit the availability and distribution of it. At one point they requested legislation back in UK to forbid importation of spirit to the natives in Southern Nigeria. Bottlers and merchants back in England suffered loss of revenue. They lobbied and put pressure on their government not to restrict trade in liquor. So the importation resumed and availability and consumption of liquor in Southern Nigeria was no longer prohibited.

Its distribution slowly crept up to the North as the business boomed, particularly with RNC, which later became UAC as the sole distributor. As part of their negotiated peace and treaties with the English, Northern rulers drew a boundary for liquor trading and missionary work. Therefore the North had penal codes that made liquor consumption a crime. When missionary penetrated into some non-muslim parts in North, liquor also went along with it. Everywhere bible was received, liquor was also introduced.

Liquor is a weapon. It is a mind altering chemical that when consumed suppresses certain aspects of cognition usually used in processing and responding to impulses and circumstances in the immediate sorrounding and interactions. Therefore an alcohol consumer will concede ...or fail to recognize risks and threats sufficiently for self preservation....and thus in his vulnerable state is exploited. The colonials were ready to do battle and posess our lands, and in fact they fought wars in Lagos, in Ijebu, in Benin, in Sokoto, in Kano and in Bauchi but they also took many dispossessed us of many lands simply by using alcohol to alter our senses and put us in a position to be easily exploited with minimal or zero casualty.

Kaduna was the traditional land of the collective people we call Southern Kaduna today. Kaduna was leased from them when Colonials relocated their headquarters from Lokoja to Kaduna. Bible and alcohol were the two legacies they gained from colonial government. After colonials handed power to regional government, the fulanis in power began a programme of expansion to subdue and hold the North under their spiritual and political control. Gradually intoxication of the Kaduna majority ethnic groups (kajuru, gwari, and so on) took a new turn and trend. To cut the story short.....The majority number gradually became the minority in authority and with that they also lost vast areas of their ancestral homes. In 2015 or 2017 (can't remember which) Governor El Rufai sought to modify the alcohol consumption penal code that had always been in practice and it was meant to prohibit alcohol generally for everyone, muslim and non-muslim....but either by commission or ommission, the prohibition achieved the opposite. It is like telling a child i dont want to see you play ball outside because if you kick the ball and break someone's glass window I will have to pay for it. Meanwhile other children in the neighborhood gather everyday outside and play ball. Then you watch the child get impatient and with annoyance. So you say, okay Im going to just ban all children from playing ball outside. So you give the order. Guess what....those children will find a field somewhere else outside your sight and earshot. What the child does not see or hear also pacifies him into thinking no one else is playing ball and so he doesnt feel cheated...he calms. Southern Kaduna have been drinking alcohol before El Rufai was born.....he might ban it in Kaduna, for muslims.......he cannot enforce its ban on the Christians of Southern Kaduna. The effect is they will stay consumed and continue to lose their ancestral and tribal lands and chiefdoms. Alcohol did this to them.

Alcohol has become a status statement in the South and we have become engrossed in its consumption that we have an addiction, just like in Southern Kaduna, that our vulnerability grows rapidly and put us at risk of exploitation by the North. They are using weapons now to seed terror and intimidation, a time is coming that they will not need weapon....our intoxication is sufficient to yield to them while they slowly peel away our rights and force upon us a two class system...one law for them , a different law for us......just as they did to the Southern Kaduna.


In the Rufai household they probably mock the Southern Kadunas as drunks. They treat them as one for all we can see. Their mockery has crossed over to the web and lately voiced by their son Bello....who once promised gang rape and derided Igbo, with a repeat derision of Ipob few days ago in a tweet. Igbo people are not at the same level, academically or socially with a small boy whose father is an accidental achiever. So what could inform such a arrogance and filthy disregard. The state of mind! Alcohol has deeply altered our state of mind in South. Even when are not intoxicated, our reasoning habits are flawed....the toxins and poison in our blood keep us sedated and dispossed of fundamental responses to self-preservation. This applies to Yoruba, it applies to SS.
