Johnazizataallah Ubafordghanim shared: YORUBA SOON TO BE MOST HATED GROUP, IF CARE NOT TAKEN Yorubas, the largest Original African group, is at an important crossroad that can make them the most hated Black ethnic group, depending on which turn its leaders take them in the next few months. Regardless of what Boko Haram, Northern Islamists or the Americans do, the fate of Nigeria and probably that of the Black Race is solely in the hands of Yorubas. GEJ came to power on the votes of Yorubas, Igbos and other Original Africans in the South and Middle Belt. The Afroasiatic North simply voted as a block for the Islamist General Buhari, as they will rather die than vote for the infidel southerner and will not vote for him come 2015. In 2015, the Igbos, Ijaws and other groups in the Southeast and South-South will once again vote for GEJ, and the deciding vote will be that of the Yorubas. This democratic dispensation was started on the foundation of Yoruba moral indignation based on the wrong conclusion that MKO Abiola, the president elect in the aborted June 12 election, was refused his mandate simply because he was Yoruba. The truth is MKO was refused power by the Western powers because of his fight for global slavery reparations which they believed will provide a global racial level ground and even bankrupt them. Regardless of this little known fact, the Yoruba leadership played the tribal card since the Hausa-Fulani and their Northern minorities had dominated federal power since the 1960 independence. With exception of the brief spell of an Obasanjo rule (1976-1979) that came about when his Northern boss, Muritata was assassinated by the CIA for supporting South African liberation fighters. The Nigerian democratic adventure was put on hold for 6 yrs as Yorubas refused to move on after the annulment and imprisonment of MKO Abiola. The only way the Yoruba and American protagonists could move on was the death of the General Sani Abacha and later MKO Abiola, followed by a restart. For the sake of peace and unity, all other of the 500 ethnic groups honorably stepped back from vying for the presidency, allowing only Yorubas to contest - General Obasanjo and Chief Olu Falae. The Northern Islamists and especially the Western powers preferred Obasanjo, a trusted hand, despite allegations Olu Falae won the elections. Obasanjo ruled for 2 terms to pacify the Yorubas, leaving other groups to agitate for power despite Northern impatience to regain power. Notably, Niger Deltans whose lands provided 80% of the National income had began an insurgency whose agitation for fairness had to be addressed. Obasanjo, with his legendary Owu/Oyo trickery decided to handover power back to the North, but to a terminally ill Yar Adua and a Niger Deltan Goodluck Jonathan, handpicked to takeover when his boss died as expected a few months later. This led to the creation of a Northern insurgency group now known as Boko Haram. GEJ was to win his election based on Southern and Middle Belt votes, but his presidency was soon to be sabotaged by Northern unrest and Yoruba media attacks. Yoruba leadership had changed hands from the Awoist/Afenifere elites to the Jagaban areaboys, allegedly in cohort with Northern Interests since Yar Adua. In display of political immaturity and over-ambition, Ahmed Tinubu, joined forces with Islamic interests to stop GEJ and Niger Deltans from rightfully going for a second and last term. This is despite the fact that under GEJ, Nigeria enjoyed the highest economic growth rate, the highest infrastructural development, the highest foreign direct invest and the worlds highest rate of privatization as over 120 functions were commercialized in a short period. Nevertheless, democracy anywhere in the world is not about performance but about voting those who will share the spoils of democratic victory to your group. Therefore, while it is understandable that Northerners will never vote a Southern infidel, Yorubas that have enjoyed federal benefits like having the two main federal roads A1 (Lagos -Ilorin route) and A2 (Lagos-Benin) reconstructed, a new railway system commissioned, federal backed development loans for Lagos among other benefits never enjoyed under the Yoruba president Obasanjo, have no complaints! Unfortunately, despite Yorubas being one of the most accommodating, peaceful and fun loving people, their leaders have been known to give them a bad rep in the eyes of outsiders. Yorubas long enviable history was first soiled by Yorubas living on the fringes, especially in Dahomey, where the amount of Yoruba slaves sold earned us the ignoble title of the SLAVE COAST. In civil rights/political independence era, Yoruba leader Obafemi Awolowo was accused of breaking up the global Black freedom movement initiated by the US-educated Igbo leader Nnamidi Azikwe. After independence, Northern Islamic violence against southerners prompted Igbos, the second largest Original African group, decided to leave the federation after seeking Yoruba backing, which was given by Awolowo in his historic statement that if East leaves, the West will also leave. The East declared secession but Yorubas stayed, and a move yet to be forgiven by Igbos, Awolowo became a minister and the key brain used to defeat them. Although this has being wildly refuted by Yorubas and I argue that Awolowo was a civilian that could neither take out Yoruba like Ojukwu a military man, nor was he responsible for the military onslaught carried out by General Gowon. However, perception is everything in politics. Now, after Awolowos death, Tinubu became the new leader due to resources accumulated as the Lagos state governor. Tinubu has been accused of constantly selling out Yoruba interests, starting from NADECO when after Abachas death Abdulsalam called Yoruba leaders to discuss the way forward and Tinubu was alleged to have refused the handing over power to Abiola and called for new elections. Also, he has been accused by Afenifere that Tinubu handed over monies raised by them to Yar Adua in 2007. In 2009, I was in his office during the talks for mega party and questioned why Tinubu faced Katsina immediately after the meeting, instead of coming to first brief his southern constituents. Now, in what seems as blind ambition and power greed, Tinubu is preparing to handover Yoruba vote for a vice-presidency slot and federal power, instead of doing the right thing by allowing the Niger Deltans finish their constitutional allowed time at the center. This will lead to amplifying the wrong label of Yoruba treachery and probably a final fallout with the Southeast and South-South. Unlike in 1967, the South-South are in power and cant be stopped if they decide to secede. Ultimately, this will lead to anarchy and war that will send tens of millions refugees across Africa, Europe and the Americas where they will upset the economic and political progress of the entire Black Race. At the end of which future historians will lay the blame solely at the foot of Yorubas... all because its leaders were impatient and could not return moral favours that allowed a Yoruba presidency in the first place. Although it appears that Tinubu is bent on the course of Yoruba opprobrium, I hope the true Yoruba elites and militia recently empowered by GEJs billion dollar pipeline security contracts will rise to fight for the conscience and image of Yorubas. Lastly, Igbos and other Original African groups of the south and middle belt are Yorubas natural allies, who can place Nigeria and the Black Race on the right footing. Our alliance with the north is based on ambition and no matter any favor done for the Northern Islamists, Yorubas will always be the infidel. Those violent Afro-Asiatic Islamists like the European racists dont ask if you are Yoruba, Igbo or Ijaw, before lynching, to them we are all infidels or niggers! It is time for the largest Original African group to unite the group, the most maligned in the world, and fight for truth and the upliftment of the common African man. Hmmm, Yoruba Ronu oooo By Prince Justice
