I think our governors now have to think of collaboration.

A rail linking the SW would be a good place to start and Independent Power projects for the SW. Maybe a port for Ondo.

It is obvious you wish Alaigbo went the way of the SW .The  Image you see in the SW today Vs. the SE is a contrast between good and Evil (Alaigbo), maturity and stupidity (Alaigbo), and of bright future versus a bleak one( Alaigbo). Tinubu, having completed his primary mission, is now well on his way to liberate other regions, hopefully starting with yours in the SE.  The image you now see, was started long time ago, with the broader aim of providing welfare and succour to the people of the SW. Quite by accident, the ACN has captured a strategic senatorial seat in one of the most sought after senatorial districts in the country. I can authoritatively tell you that, bemused as you may be, dumbfounded and clueless as Ojukwu may have become over the past few months,  Pa Awo, the great Ikenne Sage, would be quite moved by the changing political landscape of the SW, brought on by the result of the just concluded elections.


We succeeded in taking our land back, and, if you look at it deeply, we did a damn good job, showing determination, perseverance and collective belief in our manifest destiny in the process. That's the story for now. That's what we've always wanted. To be in charge of our destiny. On this success, everyone in the SW, every human being in 'Odualand,' is happy with this new status. T[i]he aggregate of all our sacrifices and sufferings[/i], the yearnings of  hundreds of human rights advocates, dead or alive,  of progressive ideologists and divergent developmental  POVS over the years, every fighter and dissenter of past tyrannical governments, home and abroad, every 'Oba' and 'Ijoye', every forward  thinking Yorubaman, every hopeful Yorubachild, every Yoruba-mother and father, every farmer and carpenter, every custodian of the Yoruba culture, every politician, every Yoruba-wood actor, every pastor, Imam and traditionalists in the SW, have culminated in this success. We can now look forward to a brighter tomorrow, TOGETHER AS ONE . This is what you wish you could have; hence your childish tantrums on this thread.

Now if you are not happy with our new found success, please, by all means, go ahead with your transformer hugging festival, along with your ibo relatives of course. Let no Ibo man be left behind in that show of courage okay

How Yoruba got their nation back (2)
BY GODSON NWA OFFOARO

More Stories on This Section
The retaking of all the senatorial districts of Ogun and Oyo in the just concluded elections by the sectional leaning Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) marked a remarkable turning point. Not even Edo was left out in this counter insurgence. In the calculation that we are putting before all, to see, it appears that only Kwara has been spared. But it is temporary.

Kwara’s is a re-conquest delayed. Mark my word, it is temporary. Temporary, we opine because on the long run, Kwara will fall. The people of Kwara, who are predominantly Yoruba, will naturally love to align with their kith and kin south-west-wards. This will happen any day that the grip of Kwara by the Sarakis for the Sarakis, loosens.

But the question in the minds and on the lips of those who truly wish Nigeria well is: at what national cost to the Nigerian nation is the recent resurgence of Yoruba nationalism? Policy wonks take note. Members of our legislature take note. The presidency, please take note. The Judiciary too. A politically (one party dominating) homogenous Yoruba (or any other ethnic group in Nigeria) should be seen as a threat to the peaceful co-existence of the peoples of Nigeria. It is a stumbling block on the path of building a true Nigerian nation. It is a symbol of a Nigeria on the throes of disintegration. An antidote is now needed. That antidote would have been a Nigeria better served by the concept of true federalism - a concept that would weaken the centre while keeping power in the hands of the powers that be in their respective regions. Without that, it is goodbye to real nationhood for Nigeria, with the Yoruba getting back into their political shelves – as they were used to before OBJ scrambled/shuffled it in 2003.

Some fanatics without deep introspection gloat when they credit Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the man who made this day possible. In my mind, that may not be so. But even if it turns out to be so, Asiwaju Tinubu should wear that adulation as an opprobrious badge of shame not that of honor if he believes in the concept of a Nigeria, indivisible. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s name should be entered into our history books with bold asterisks. He it was who is credited to have started our nation’s reversal of fortunes in the South West. He reversed our march to stardom, unity and true nationalism.

He should be glorified as a tribalist first class. He it was who, in 2003, was neither fazed nor dazed by the OBJ methods. He it was who kept Lagos for then AC, from where eventually, precinct by precinct, ward by ward, zone by zone and state by state, the former Yoruba inward looking political bent got together again. Tinubu is a child of circumstance. He is not a thoroughbred democrat in the mould of Awo or Jakande or even Fashola. Like a bull he paid for all his farcical political gains. He sponsored it. He is braggadocio personified. Nigeria, and indeed, Yoruba nation may only remember him and glorify him for one thing and only one thing: he discovered Babatunde Raji Fashola.

Let’s come back to Tinubu later.
By tomorrow, we would have known conclusively if the Yoruba nation and its nationalism have been completely restored or suffers mortal dislocation or if it is on life support. If it is just a temporary palliative restoration for the Yoruba nation and its nationalism to get even with OBJ, I would give a verdict of okay, let’s watch and see. While still at that, we must note that the votes Jonathan received from that geopolitical zone, except Lagos, is not as overwhelming as those from the southeast, the south-south or even some states in the north central. In fact, he lost in Osun and recorded razor thin victories in the rest. Yoruba votes for Jonathan, last week, essentially may be in protest of the born-to-rule attitude of the Hausa/Fulani.

The real Yoruba is insular when it concerns his politics, language and culture. While OBJ is scheming to loosen the grip, Tinubu is working hard to tighten it. Can’t you see that Jonathan decisively lost in Osun? If Awo had been alive and contesting, Jonathan would have lost the zone. If Ajasin or Ige were to be alive, Jonathan would have lost in Yorubaland. Jonathan made it thus far in the south west because it appears he appealed to the sensibilities of the common Yoruba. Remember, like most Nigerians, he had had no shoes, growing up. I guess that one liner more than any other consideration did it for him – in the south west last week. Before then, the man General Olusegun Obasanjo had watered the ground for a political soft landing for Jonathan in the southwest. It was not because of Tinubu or any other prominent Yoruba who acquiesced. Not even because of Fashola or the Oba of Lagos.

Let’s take a little look again at Tinubu, the man who is credited with setting in motion, the Yoruba bid to regain its nation. Tinubu is a child of circumstance. He is not a thoroughbred democrat in the mould of Awo or Jakande or even Fashola. He is a bull. We have mentioned the absence of a towering political figure in the mould of Chief Awolowo and or Uncle Bola Ige, right now in the Yoruba political mainstream! For, no matter how he tried to force himself onto the stage, Ahmed Bola Tinubu is not the rallying figure the Yoruba crave. His missteps during the run up to the about to end elections spoke volumes of who the man Ahmed Tinubu is.

His orchestrated fight with Fashola, a clearly performing governor, was seen as unlike-Awo. The questionable questions of his true academic credentials coupled with his lack of deep-rooted intellectual acumen is even his greatest baggage; the manipulated nomination and subsequent election of his wife as a senator on the platform of the ACN, is un-Bola Ige. It is unlike Chief Obafemi Awolowo. His voracious appetite for material acquisition has deprived him of any pretentions and claims to be the arrowhead of the reawakening of Yoruba political consciousness and its nationalism.

But, let me tell you something, my good people of the south west. Looks like your brother Obasanjo our man had imbibed the political philosophy and concept of a famous English historian when he embarked on the reshaping of the political psyche of the average Yoruba with the larger Nigerian interest in mind. And, there couldn’t have been a better way than the way he went about it. It was Samuel Davidson, I think, who opined that “liberty had never helped in the construction of any stable political edifice.” He had written that rather, it is “after a political edifice had been built and consolidated that liberty crowns it.” OBJ, it appears, was conscious of this dictum and worked with it as a guide.

Yoruba people should begin to be conscious of this too, if they yearn for a Nigeria bigger and greater than its parts. Yes, being a pragmatist, he had to trample upon the people and some modern concepts, such as that bogus rule of law which we also talked about in the part one of this essay, in order to move his beloved Nigerian nation forward. That, in my personal opinion, must have informed all he did which were not perceived as democratic or in tandem with the concept of the rule of law.

If the Yoruba nation truly believes in one Nigeria, they ought to have been more circumspect in their condemnation of OBJ and his policies. They have to begin to find a way to surrender their grip on their nation – the Yoruba nation, that is. Yoruba cannot eat their cake and have it. Its either they want a strong Nigeria or a strong Yoruba nation. They cannot in good conscience at the same time aspire for the two. It is a blatant contradiction. Their tribally leaning voting pattern which OBJ tried to tinker with has become a stumbling block to the realization of a great Nigeria dream.

I am scared, aware and conscious that the direction of Yoruba behavior often defines the political movement and direction of the Nigerian nation. What Yoruba do, for example, others to try to copy and sometimes copy to imperfection! With their voting trend in last week’s presidential election and how they may vote tomorrow, my thoughts are enmeshed in guided optimism. May be and maybe not. After a sober reflection, I am relieved that the mind expansion project of the Yoruba, which OBJ orchestrated, at least, has taken some modicum of a toehold in Yorubaland. The Yoruba should let it gain momentum. Yes, Yoruba political mind has been stretched to its limits and may never, ever return to its original dimensions. This is all because one animal called man in their midst named Olusegun Obasanjo opened it up. Let it be so. Let it have a foothold. It’s on the long run going to be in the best interest of Nigeria.

Postscript: A caller from New Jersey in the US said he, too misunderstood OBJ. The story he told went like this: “It was January 12, 1970, at the Alvan Ikoku College of Education campus, in Owerri. I was among the surrendering men of the Biafran Armed Forces. That was when I met OBJ. He laughed a lot. He joked a lot. He looked as if he was disdainful of the defeated soldiers of Biafra. If I had a gun I would have taken him out.

He talked so loud that most of us began to plot how to eliminate him in a suicide like mission. In the evening, he surprised all of us. He joined us to eat from the same dish – a dish prepared for defeated surrendering soldiers. He joked with us and even pried into our personal lives, including the whereabouts of our families. He so reassured us that all of us made a dramatic turn as we began to analyze him. Ever since I have loved everything OBJ. He is a thoroughbred Nigerian nationalist. Thank you for seeing what I had seen forty-something years ago.”

How Yoruba got their nation back (1)
By Godson Nwa Offoaro

Monday, April 18, 2011
Yoruba nationalism in Nigeria gained fervent pitch after June 12, 1993. Having been deprived of ruling Nigeria through an avoidable annulment of an election, which Chief MKO Abiola, a Yoruba won, the nation went into the trenches. The NADECO which was the arrowhead in the struggle to rectify the anomalies of June 12, essentially was peopled by the Yoruba intelligentsia and business moguls whose option B was secession from Nigeria.

Their famed Oduduwa republic was ready, with every paraphernalia, insignia and symbol of nationhood. They included a national anthem and a flag. The election of General Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999 was a compromise. No matter how much the Yoruba did not like Obasanjo, he was still one of them. He was their son who, they remember, had once tilted electoral fortunes to Shehu Shagari, a northerner instead of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, their hero, mentor and sage of no mean repute.

They tolerated Obasanjo and were forced, by circumstance, not of their making to accept his leadership, however, grudgingly. Not even the most loquacious critics of him could resist the lure of power when one after the other, prominent sons of Yorubaland began to be identified with the OBJ administration. No wonder, when one of them became intransigent and incommodious, he was told in plain language, that “after all, we invited you to come and chop.”

Some, such as Bola Ige, Professor Ransome-Kuti, Fani-Kayode, Ebenezer Babatope and the head of the Afenifere, Abraham Adesanya or his representatives, went a step further, to accept to work in his cabinet. They did not grudge, anymore, when the dividends of democracy began to rain in the southwest region of the land. Juicy contracts for the sons of Yoruba soil; petro chemical industries, good motorable roads, power plants, the inclusion of Ondo as an oil producing state and so on were some of the visible dividends which Obasanjo, the rejected stone that turned out to be the cornerstone, came to symbolize for the Yoruba.

Things moved on well, or so it seemed till the election year of 2003. It was the year, which the cohesive and seemingly impregnable Yoruba monolithic voting trend came to a surprising halt. And the man behind it all was no other, than, their own son, General Olusegun Obasanjo, president and commander-in-chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Soon after the 2003 general elections, I wrote a piece in Nigeriaworld.com suggesting that Yoruba nationalism had been mortally wounded.

That article was inspired by the events of the day and the political climate of the time - the total political annihilation of the old and reincarnated western Nigerian politics of immediate past by the OBJ well-oiled new political machine. I saw the literal pressgang of the west into the mainstream of Nigeria politics whether by hook or crook as the only way forward for Nigeria, should it ever wish to attain thorough nationhood. Before that election, every governor that ruled in the Southwest belonged to the Alliance for Democracy - AD. It is important too, to observe that from pre-independence Nigeria to post civil war Nigeria, the trend had remained so.

Before the 2003 election, Chief Bola Ige had been killed in a very mysterious circumstance. Before his killing, it had been rumored that the Cicero who was the Attorney General and Minister for Justice and a very important member of the Obasanjo cabinet had planned to quit to enable him return to the political trenches in the south west in preparation to defending his political home turf - against the insurgent PDP. His death fueled the speculation, that he may have been eliminated by the powers that be in order to enable the master planners, who eventually conquered the rascally, radically, stubbornly, politically- sophisticated south west, have unfettered access to the vote rich and independent-minded people of the area for the ruling party - the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

It was also rumored that Chief Bola Ige, whose towering image in the South west was everyday beginning to be compared to that of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, had sworn that another political party would have access to the south west only over his dead political body. He was therefore ready to quit the Obasanjo cabinet instead of being seen as an instrument that would give verve to the conquest of his people, politically speaking.

Unfortunately, it was over Bola Ige's dead political body that the greatest electoral heist was foisted on the people of his beloved region. The man who was behind that annihilation was no other but Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo. Iyiola Omisore who was believed to be complicit in the death of Bola Ige was in detention when the elections were held. He won. He became the first man in Nigerian history to win an election from prison. Thereafter, he was in the Nigerian Senate for two terms. The story was also told of how, Obasanjo had cajoled and deceived the incumbent governors of the south west, who had ruled on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), to urge the SW populace to vote for their son, OBJ, in the presidential elections.

That year, unlike this year, the presidential elections, I think came first before the gubernatorial and the national assembly. Having obeyed their son, in whom they were beginning to be well pleased, OBJ, true to his marchiavillian style rigged the South west governors out en masse, after he had secured his own seat.

Thus my celebration in exhilaration in the article: Yoruba Nationalism mortally wounded. I had believed that Yoruba being in the mainstream of Nigerian politics will blurt and or erase politics of ethnicity, tribe and or tongue in Nigeria. I had hoped that beginning from 2003, Nigerians who mix up because of political associations would be the cornerstone of a new Nigeria. I had hoped that radical Yoruba elements at the national assembly would make the type of progressive laws that they had been used to in their region since the era of Chief Awolowo.

I had believed that there would be, within months, free education at all levels -everywhere in Nigeria. I had hoped that justice would begin to prevail in Nigeria. With Femi Falana, Gani Fawehinmi, Akintola Williams, and all those legal luminaries, it would be a new dawn in Nigeria's troubled judicial system. I had hoped that Nigeria would begin to experience cultural renaissance. I had hoped that from the ashes of stubborn Yoruba nationalism would rise true Nigerian nationalism. Looks like I was wrong. For my wish, now, seems to be evaporating. I am in real pains.

Firmly entrenched, it had been very difficult for the people of the region, to get their political groove back from the ruling party. But for Lagos State and the intervention of the judiciary, it would have surely been a different ball game.

Do not be surprised. I had hailed OBJ then, lavishly. I had hailed him because I sincerely believed and still believe that because Nigeria was transiting from a prolonged military dictatorship to a democracy, the nation needed a benevolent dictator to stabilize the polity. I had given classic examples where soldier turned politicians had secured stability in their lands with a style reminiscent to mild dictatorship. I had had Brazil in mind.

I had Mexico as another classic case and even Argentina. I had pictured Ethiopia before getting closer home - to West Africa with Ghana's Rawlings being my alibi. Rawlings transmuted to civilian president. He ruled Ghana with iron fist for over 20 years during which period he straightened the country. I had wanted OBJ to do same for Nigeria - through whatever methods. The end ought to justify the means. The man, Obasanjo almost succeeded.

Folks, let's put it into stronger perspective. Nigeria, under Obasanjo recorded monumental progress in every field of human endeavor. It was during OBJ's time that our stock market soared to international respectable standards. It was during OBJ's reign that our banks began to compete with their foreign counter parts. Yes, OBJ as a man may not be photogenic and may not have been well liked by his people, but he had the vision, fortitude and foresight required of a leader with some progressive philosophical dispositions to hire men and women of integrity who fired the economic engine of the Nigeria of his time.

It was during OBJ's time that the nation's foreign reserve went stratospheric. It was during his time that we negotiated our way out of huge foreign debt. It was during his time that Nigerians in the Diaspora remitted millions and millions of foreign currency into the Nigeria economy. OBJ's era saw the resurrection of the disappearing middle class.

He almost leveled the playing field between the civilian middle class and their military counterparts including their apologists that had dominated the nation's political and economic life.

Was it any surprise then, that during, OBJ's reign, there was economic boom, political stability and a seeming onward march to total redemption. Was it any surprise? It is noteworthy that all the gains, achieved by OBJ, were wiped out within one year of Yar'Adua's reign. What we gained instead was a bogus concept known as rule of law typified by the even more drastic Michael Aondoakaa who applied the concept to fit his ignoble political plots.

Before the conquest of the West, politically speaking, the man OBJ had conquered the seemingly unconquerable North. He removed their emirs and replaced them at will. He stood against the implementation of Sharia codes in some parts of the country. He relocated the headquarters of the NPA which had been relocated from coastal Lagos to arid Abuja. He had stopped the irrational allocation of oil to every comer at Aso Rock.

He had disciplined his mates so much that they began to gang up against him, his person and his administration. He had made a mumu of the South East, which was still wriggling under the hangover of Biafra misadventure. He turned South Easterners into card-carrying members of his party. They obeyed his command without question. It was thus a feat of no mean proportion, I reasoned, for OBJ to get the South West into the mainstream of Nigerian politics. OBJ almost succeeded. Had he gotten the much despised and misunderstood third term, perhaps, Nigeria, painfully would have secured stability and prosperity - concurrently.

ACN senator can’t be Senate President –Arise
From BOLU-OLU ESHO, Ado-Ekiti

Saturday, April 23, 2011
The senator representing Ekiti North Senatorial District, Ayo Arise, has debunked the claim by Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, that an Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) senator was qualified to become the Senate President if the position is zoned to the South West.


advertisement


Arise noted that the performance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the National Assembly election, had put it in comfortable lead. He said that he had never heard in the history of any nation where the minority leads the legislative house, adding that the governor was just trying to hoodwink the electorate into voting for his party.

Governor Fayemi had on Wednesday at the Government House Golf pitch told some artisans and farmers who gathered to collect working tools being distributed by the state government at subsidized rates that the PDP had been selling a dummy to the people that it was only a second term senator that could become the Senate President. Fayemi stated that PDP was only peddling such rumour so that the people of the state could vote for their candidates running for second term in the Senate, so as to give the state an opportunity of securing the senate president slot.

Fayemi, however, told the people that a member of his party could be made the senate president even if he’s a first term senator. Arise dismissed the claim of Governor Fayemi that he had been approached by some chieftains of PDP to reach alliance with ACN to allow PDP senatorial candidate to win the election so that the state can get the senate president slot.

Arise said he had not spoken with him for the past two months, explaining that the last time he spoke with him was when President Goodluck Jonathan came for his presidential rally in Ado-Ekiti. “Although I’m free to talk to him because my party didn’t say I should since I am Ekiti senator and not my party senator. The last time I called his line he didn’t pick it and has not called back.

I called that I wanted to tell him that our people (PDP agents) were not allowed at polling units in his town, Isan, during the presidential election because he might not be aware of that. But he didn’t pick my calls. All I want is free, fair and credible election in the state so that the will of the people could prevail,” Arise said.
