How did we end up here? 25 years of flirting with power at the centre, of living off and chasing unearned income, of prostrating before the caliphate has turned us to feudal retainers. Men who have lost their manhood. We are cowed into silence when state sponsored gangs rampage across our lands raping our women, burning our farms, slaughtering our yourh. The few who find the courage to fight back we disown, we call them ruffians. When our yourhs protest against injustice as they did during the endsars we attribute it fittingly to an ibo plot . And why not seeing the qualities needed to organise a protest so well executed it captured the international air waves for days required courage, initiative and drive. Qualities we are now so enfeebled, so morally vacous we happily agree belong to the ibos.

I must unequivocally state that the Protest the opposition, led by Buhari, organised against Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 to prevent him from removing fuel subsidy was a poorly reasoned action.

If Goodluck Jonathan had removed subsidy then, it would have been easier for us today. I hope Dangote's refinery starts production soon.

It's easier to criticize a government than to govern.

BloomingDale:
Thanks for the correction.

I got to the part in bold and abandoned reading further. One thing about Nigerians is that most are pathological and gleeful liars, casually deceitful, irredeemable mischief-makers and patently dishonest. This is why I appreciate my birth overseas in the West and my lengthy upbringing there.

I know the true meaning of integrity, empathy and being principled. I know those should never be abandoned for expediency or a hidden agenda as most Nigerians are doing over this GRV situation.

In the West, there is no way on Earth Pantami would have held on to his job after his controversial and openly biased views on religion in a multi-religious society.

There is no way GRV, with the many disparaging and controversial views he holds against the Yorubas, would have become the candidate of any Party to become the Mayor of the cosmopolitan City of London and if he runs as an independent candidate then even public revulsion towards him would shame his friends and family to distance themselves from him.

The man would be a political joke anywhere else, to include even African countries, but shameless Nigeria where Labour had the gumption to present him as their candidate for Lagos because of Obi's hidden agenda the Yorubas were aware of.

GRV has made enough derogatory statements against Yorubas, showing there is a good chance he would be biased against them, to confirm most Yorubas have a valid case for vehemently going the extra mile to ensure he is not their Governor.

Any principled person with integrity would agree the fear of Yorubas over GRV's ambition is valid and justifiable.

It is no different to black folks the State of Georgia USA going on the war path over the attempt of an openly racist white supremacist attempting to be their Governor.

What I find is many are deliberately avoiding talking about GRV's controversial views against the Yorubas, even if he claims to be one, that is far more than enough to ensure no Party would be shameless enough in the Western world to present him as a candidate for the leadership of a cosmopolitan State or City.


Showing prejudice against a group, out of those you wish to lead, is ground for instant dismissal or disqualification for all Parties in the West.

That Nigerians choose to ignore GRV's utterances a normal person would agree is more than enough grounds for the Yorubas not to want him as their governor reveals their lack of honesty, principles, integrity and empathy.

They are not honest enough to admit what is obvious.They are obviously not principled enough to stand for what is right and behind those who have been wronged by the Labour Party that presented the Yoruba-hating GRV.

They lack the integrity to apportion blame and culpability fairly as a wise and decent person would do regardless of whose Ox is gored and they lack the empathy to put themselves in the shoes of the Yorubas to simply accept, as is the case worldwide, that the ethnic group is right for vehemently rejecting the leadership of someone who patently hates and despises them .

We must remember as well that GRV never apologised for his repellent views and utterances either. My opinion is that those blaming the Yorubas, who are the aggrieved Party, fall in two category.

Non-Yorubas who despise the ethnic group and are simply using this GRV issue to sever their pound of flesh and Yorubas like OP of the article who are 'pleasers' obsessed with trying to look woke and Liberal even if that comes at the cost of throwing their own ethnic group under the bus.

It is as simple as that because no ethnic group in Nigeria can accept what pathetic and unfair irritants and agent provocateurs are castigated Yorubas for rejecting.

BloomingDale:
Kai. Yoruba Thief'nubu's Hausa Urchins peoplehave put us all in bondage. I’m in sifia pains.

Gangster1ms:
Our WhatsApp Admins should please be fast with the propaganda. This is almost 24 hours since Peter Obi dropped his petition. They've just been running helter skelter.

Please, give us propaganda, there's no time. These obidients are choking us here.

Massiveglory:
As long as Sanwolu delays or refuses to renounce and denounce the process that re-selected him, he is holding a blood stained mandate.

Sanwolu, your hands are soaked in blood.

Blaze14k:
Bro u are spot on.. they will increase there attack very soon and display there tribal remarks

Boomkalakuta:
Advertising rubbish

Can tha SAN also defend Ekiti PHCN for using the below picture to generate light at the office in Ado ekiti?

ariesbull:
LoL


What's funny

We have these last few weeks of eternal shame revealed our weakness, our insecurity, the spiritual barrenness that now lies like a void at the centre of our world. We fear a yoruba man because he has an ibo mother! Thats how supine, how fearful we have become. We forget the yorubas killed in their hundreds last year by state protected fulani gunmen because we are desperate to be awarded office by those who defile our women and pillage our land. Principle counts for nothing. We are up for sale and not for very much. This is how far we have fallen

We cant even plan coups properly. The most incompetent coup ever planned in Nigerian history was the one plotted by yoruba officers in beer parlours over pepper soup and big stout against Abacha leading to its most senior officer grovelling before the dictator pleading for his miserable life . The coup before that planned by ibo and delta officers - the Orkar putsch in 1990 saw the prime movers defiant to the bitter end, facing death with honour.

biaframaster200:
perhaps you are part of the IPOb terrorist group....you don pay your monthly due

biaframaster200:
Obi lule


Obi the slowpoke....always speaking like a frog gasping for water.....the earlier he go back to his container business at Alaba international market the better for him... because the last time checked....SAN no dey do free legal services for people...anyways, some mugu don donate their hard earned money for this slowpoke called Obi ....and also he can keep himself engage for. A while since he will be jobless till he recovers the money he has spent.....so he needs to be going to court always

loosecanon50:
This cow meat clearly isn’t aware of what happens around him, he’s just floating. The failed naira swap and the just concluded selection proves it’s further.

Someone who works in aso rock confided in me; He told me that whenever people in power presents any document to Buhari for approval, all he’ll request from you is to swear to Allah. Once you say [b]walahi tallahi, he don sign am be that. [/b]

So he saying Nigeria’s democracy is now truly mature should come as a shock to anyone.

Nwodosis:
Nobody is against Tinubu o, we only want to know if the process that brought him allows drug convicts.

SmartGadgetz:
Now THIEEFNUBU needs lots of PAMPERS in court to hold his hearing shiits

Allardyce:
This your hypocrisy needs to be examined. A silly tribal fool like you forgets easily.

madridguy:
Election is over, everything now is joke. Well, I'm only after one woman daughter for street. If we are sending them away I will keep Ijeoma here so IPOB will not kill her.

SmartPolician:
These guys are jokers. Lazy people only think of how to inherit the sweat of hardworking people.

Don't start what you cannot finish. You want to take over Igbo businesses in Lagos and their owners will look on.

Lagos State has lots of thugs and touts. If you start this nonsense, trust me, it is going to be a long show and nobody will be spared. Even IPOB and OPC will get involved. It will be deadly and brutal.

It seems you people want to kiss this Lagos goodbye because Lagos State will be the battlefield.

See how dirty he looks
I'm sure he has strong body odour
