*YORUBA IS NO COWARD...Cardinal Okogie.*
____________________________
Please, let us listen to an elder statesman, Cardinal Okogie in Vanguard June 19, 2017 @ page 7:.
.
"Yoruba is no coward." The man of God said, "To avoid going to war is not cowardice. It is to have the courage to subdue our ego and negotiate. ....." Better still, go get a copy of El Rufai's book titled "Accidental civil servant" and read the dialogue between the Author and Baba Obasanjo the then President.
.
You will appreciate the value of native intelligence of the Yoruba which some ignoramus called cowardice. Pray, has Yoruba ever lost any war whether of the guns, intellectual, political or spiritual? No! Check the political, Social and religious history of Nigeria. Who checkmated the advancement of the Fulanis to the South in 1807 at the famous Jalumi war outside Offa at Odo Otin to be precise? Who opened the gate of influx of our youths to the western world in search of Knowledge and sound education after the obnoxious policy and body called "Ijamba Foriti " otherwise known as Jamb?.
.
Remember the Exploit of the Yoruba in Nadeco that crippled the country to the extent that the dark goggled wearing General Abacha could not step into Yoruba land for four years. When Jonathan Administration with the aids of Pius Anyim schemed out the Yoruba out of his government inspite of protestations from the likes of Baba Bode George and other PDP leaders in Yorubaland, the Yoruba simply went to work with their brains to see to his exit after all, they put him there in the first place through careful planning.
.
Today, the Yoruba are the best educated black professionals in the USA. If in doubt check out the high brow teaching hospitals in the USA, UK, South Africa and Europe. The Yoruba stand out. Take a trip to Cardiff University in the UK, you'll think you are in Unilag. I was at a teaching hospital in Cape Town in February this year. On the Notice Board of this air Ambulance running teaching hospital was displayed the names of the consultants and specialists.
.
Of the 41 consultants on the Notice Board were 17 Nigerians 16 of whom are of Yoruba extraction and the 17th Nigerian...

And those who fought are cowards? Nonsense stop deceiving yourself "War is a continuation of economics by other means" France fell to Germany because of Vichy's cowardice without putting up any resistance. If you don't have the balls, don't fight Cardinal Okogie is being economical with the truth even when he knows the history of the Catholic church.

You lied, it was the Briton that impeded Fulani advancement to the south, not Yoruba. Lia Mohammad, remember; Yoruba has been conquered by Fulani's. Fulani have usuless most of your super power:Awo, abiola,kidurat, ogundikpe, idiagbo, etc. Presently, they are roasting osibaju, sowore. Stop licking Fulani yansh let the ZOO move toward.
