Let's discuss:

(Published in the Nigerian Tribune on Monday, 23 November, 2020)

The Fulani have many intriguing proverbs. 'If a man says he will swallow an axe, hold the handle for him.' That is one of the proverbs. If you want to understand the full import, then listen very well to Alhaji Buba Galadima who professes to be Buhari's enemy. He was in the news a few days ago responding to the call for an Igbo president for Nigeria in 2023. He declared that the South East could produce the next president but the person would not be 'Igbo president.' What did he mean? Strategic obfuscation is same in business, politics and in war. The neutralizing objectives are the same too. If you are brilliant and brave and talented and you think you can sing, the Fulani won't stop you from singing but the song must be theirs. That is the meaning of Galadima's deep-structure politics. In the coming 2023 contest, if there is a contest at all, the Hausa-Fulani of northern Nigeria will use Mr Tortoise's sword to kill Tortoise. They always do.

The Igbo of South East Nigeria want to be president of Nigeria. A governor said so last week as he moved to the party of the north. The Igbo will be taken seriously by Nigeria only when they know what they want with (and from) Nigeria. Is it not very confusing to feel them fighting for their Biafra and at the same time seeking to rule Nigeria by defecting from 'their' party to the party of the 'enemy'? Again, you cannot become the president of Nigeria by worshipping the north. It does not work that way. If it did, grand old Zik would have ruled Nigeria immediately after independence. Others who sold their souls to the presumed owners of Nigeria would have been president too. The Yoruba deprecate such fawning acts with an unflattering dismissal of cows as unfit for their worship. And that has made a lot of difference in Hausa-Fulani versus Yoruba engagements. In 1998/99, all the political parties were made to field Yoruba presidential candidates for a reason. In 2015, a Yoruba emerged the Vice President of Nigeria eight years after Olusegun Obasanjo's presidency, again for a reason. There are frenzies already around some Yoruba who want to be president in 2023. These occurrences were/are not a product of slavish flagellations at the feet of the 'owners' of Nigeria. The past was rather a surrender by Nigeria's kidnappers to the consistency of Yoruba's demands for justice and equity. Today, between 'them' and the Yoruba, there is a balance of respect, even of 'terror' - which is the language of engagement understood by the Nigerian establishment.

Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State left the PDP for the APC last week because his former party cheated and would continue cheating his Igbo people. That is what he was asked to say and he is saying it stridently. And he had to jump from his party to a party of angels who can make kings out of slaves. If you frown at his ways, his supporters would point at mercurial Winston Churchill and his politics of serial ratting from one party to another and to another. Just as Umahi declared his PDP of 21 years as a party of injustice, conservative Churchill in 1903 looked at his own party and declared that he "hated the Tory Party, their men, their words and their methods." That hatred did not stop Churchill from going back to the Tory Party in 1925 while lamenting that the years he spent outside the party were the "wilderness years" of his political life. Umahi will go back to his vomit after fulfilling the mission he has been asked to carry out.

Is it that Umahi really wants to be president of Nigeria for his Igbo people or he wants to serve the owners of Nigeria to undermine his people? The Fulani have only one 'juju' with which they have ruled Nigeria since they crossed the borders to here. And that is that they know how to convince the enemy to slaughter his brother for their sake.The physical representation of that 'charm' is the herdman's stick. It has never failed them. There are always victims on the queue for the Fulani to use as swordsmen against their own homestead. Look at the Lekki shooting controversy and the men doing the talking now whether for the military or for the government. Where are they from? This government of the north is adept at using southern palms to quench the fire of its misrule. A little back in time, M.K.O Abiola won an election in June 1993 but had that mandate annulled by a General from the north. The annulment flowed directly from a court restraining order on the election issued by a southerner, Justice Bassey Ikpeme, for a southern applicant, Chief Arthur Nzeribe. When Abiola felt that his life was in danger and he escaped abroad on August 4, 1993, it was Igbo's Uche Chukwumerije that was asked to use his University of Ibadan education to mock Abiola as "the first Aare Onakakanfo to run away from battle." When Sani Abacha's five leprous parties were to adopt him as their sole presidential candidate, it was a Yoruba minister that was directed to move the motion.

Someone told me last week that the best bet for the Yoruba in 2023 is to back an Igbo presidency. I said an Igbo presidency, if it ever happened, would work for the north and fight the Yoruba. It may even be utterly useless to the Igbo people. It is strange that Governor Umahi said he defected to the APC last week so that an Igbo man would be president in three years' time. Who told him the north is fastidious about platforms and won't kill the APC if it toys with what Umahi talked about? And why would that Igbo governor not think that the north could contest the 2023 presidential election on any platform and on its own terms? The north is already gathering the ingredients.

There was a northern conference in Abuja recently. They called it Islamic but it appeared more political than religious. Reportedly present at the conference were Islamic sheiks, traditional rulers, Imams from the northern states and the FCT and leaders of Islamic movements across the north. After the conference, one of the participants, Sahabi Danladi Mahuta, a professor of Environmental Biochemistry and chairman, Kebbi Development Forum, told the media in an interview what the north would not accept about the 2023 presidential election contest. He said a southern Muslim could aspire to be president in 2023 only if Christians wanted a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Hear him: "What is, however, not acceptable to us in the north is a southern muslim picking a northern christian as his vice presidential candidate...if people of the south are comfortable with a Muslim-Muslim leadership, they can present a Muslim presidential candidate, but the one coming from the north must be a northern Muslim. That is not negotiable." What he said here is that with the north, you can't have both a chick and a calf.

The professor was very articulate as he went on to narrow the coming contest to one between Senator Bola Tinubu and Governor Kayode Fayemi, both of the south west. He knew and mentioned the one clutching deleterious baggages and the one who carried no baggage. He spoke as if the north has ever considered cleanliness as being next to godliness. From the north, he offered no names even for any contest. The wise don't play by displaying their cards on the table. The professor gave those conditions at a time his leaders are believed to be luring former President Goodluck Jonathan to come out again for the presidency, and at a time Igbo politicians like Umahi are being promised the top job. Now, what are the implications of those moves and statements for the unity of the south? The southern sea may soon erupt in a turmoil which only the emergence of a northern caliph would calm. Again, what is the implication of playing the Lagos 'father' against the Ekiti 'son' to the unity of the ACN/APC tendency in Yoruba politics? There is a feeling of deja vu here. Yoruba's disunity has always been that race's undoing. And it is historically linked to their engagements with the Fulani. All major intra-Yoruba wars of the 19th century had Hausa/Fulani content. The historical Yoruba never fought his brother without forming an alliance with the common enemy outside. The moment the Fulani realized the efficacy of playing one Yoruba group against the other, they stopped losing sleep over their ambition to conquer the whole land. The Jalumi war of November 1, 1878 was between the Ibadan army and the allied forces of the Ekiti, Ijesa, Ila and the Hausa Fulani of Ilorin. Even in the various earlier civil wars fought in Oyo Empire, the Fulani were always there, helping one side against the other. The most popular was Afonja's revolt of c.1817 and his recruitment of Shehu Alimi and the Jamaa into his army. All the subsequent attempts to reclaim Ilorin failed because there was always a Yoruba General in a secret alliance with the Fulani. Between 1823 and 1826, there were four wars with the objective of retrieving Ilorin from the vice grip of the Fulani. There was one in 1823. There was another from October to December 1824. There was the Kanla war of 1825. There was the Eleduwe war of the following year. Each of those wars was lost to jealousy, petty rivalry and treachery among Yoruba leaders. It was either Kakanfo Toyeje, or Adegun, the Onikoyi, or Edun of Gbogun or Prince Atiba of Oyo or a Timi of Ede in a secret pact with the Fulani. They always showed the way to the outsider in the thick of battle, deliver victory to the enemy and start preparing for the next war. The Fulani is not a horse to be mounted to battle. It is a tiger looking for greedy, ambitious riders to eat. A majority of those Yoruba war leaders ended up in the belly of the Fulani.

There was nothing that happened in the 19th century Yoruba wars that is not happening now in the 21st century politics of Nigeria. Nothing has changed despite the benefit of 200 years of experience. The Fulani has not changed their tactic of instigating strifes and rebellions for the discomfort of their foes, and recruiting allies in the bedroom of the enemy. The disparate south has also not weaned itself of the curse of betrayal and of seeking deliverance from doctors of death. The result has been the same for both sides. The north will contest the coming presidential poll but not before playing a Jonathan against his 'friends;' the Yoruba against the Yoruba; the Igbo against the Igbo; the Igbo against the Yoruba, and the Yoruba against the Igbo - and neutralizing all. That Kebbi professor has sounded the trumpet already.

abeg our mumu don do

They only have their way because of the greed of others.

I am impressed by the brilliance inked down in this write-up. Although I was a bit initially unsettled by the pro-Yorubaness exhibited by the writer but his vulnerability that followed shows that the scribe was actually on a mission to warn a slavish, docile and unprincipled south to wake up. The south is the only region that throws its own under the bus and can sell its conscience for a meal of pottage. I hope the south, including the Igbo, will understand that without restructuring Nigeria, any southern presidency that eventually emerges will only entrench the present culture of brigandage, inequality, southern marginalisation, domination and alienation by the present occupiers of government. If things continue this way, God forbid, something must give.

Bringing the Igbos into the equation really makes things harder in APC.

Anyway I hope Tinubu and his goons have a plan B.

A good and balanced write-up from an angry southerner. But he failed to proffer what he thinks is the solution on the way forward.

As long as the current skewed federal structure remains in tact, nothing would change. All the things in OP would continue to happen daily.

It is now evident that the southerners ain't sleeping with their two eyes closed since Umahi's defection....one Nigeria is a hoax

Which Igbos in APC?

If you believe APC would cede their ticket to any Igbo politician then that's unfortunate. Even if that will happen, not now.
Politics is give and take. It's a game of numbers. You work and then you reap.
We have worked in PDP and that's where our chances lie, whether now or later.

APC is only trying to spread their tentacles by wooing Igbo politicians, not because of any stupid presidency.

Except APC has perfected plans to field a northern candidate in 2023, that's the only way the Igbos among them can dream of a Vice presidential slot.

So why are they courting Umahi and Kalu? what message are they sending juggernauts like Tinubu and Osinbajo?

Na wash!

Umahi only defected to the ruling party to bring his Ebonyi into mainstream politics. Like the writer said, he is saying what he's been asked to say, he will soon be quiet

Kalu on his part is just making noise to entrench himself into national consciousness, having been kept in the background for long by Mao Ohuabunwa and Theodore Orji.

Except the northern Bloc in APC are set for a showdown with the SW Bloc, whereby the ticket is given to a northerner, then Igbos among them could hope to be VP.

This is what I told my yoruba brothers here that I don't have 1% trust for Fulani.

Do you know they can give Igbos apc presidency ticket and turn around to vote for PDP Atiku just to remain in power. .They can even give a Yoruba man presidency ticket and turn around to vote PDP.

Anyways, the betrayal the op is trying to make is Fayemi.

He really wants to be president and El rufai deputize him.
I can never vote for them.


I agree, as long as the current system is not abolished, it will continue to happen

Of course they won't want it. Nobody is decieved by the noise from hell rufai and yakassi and co in the public space.

When they get home, they summon their reps and tell them to kill any motion to that effect before it's even read! Their phantom numerical strength would see to that.

By the time they deploy religionism as a weapon, even the MB trying to extricate themselves now would hope in.

The only way forward is by sustained ideological protest by those wanting a change. One day, a Daniel will come to judgement and see reasons.

If APC rallies round Fayemi against your preferred candidate and you distance yourself, that would be a dejavu.
You'd be bringing back the Obasanjo years where you rejected obasanjo because of circumstances on ground.

Baba iyabo nah sell out.

Very brilliant and well articulated, they have recruited hungry e worriors from west to defend them online, and blame Igbos, just look at what happened after SARS protest how they manipulated them and they started blaming Igbos, that Igbos want to destroy Lagos, last week I saw picture of Emir of Fulani of Lagos one posted I saw how some Yoruba e-worriors were attacking the guy that created the thread used Eze ndi Igbo as a reference, I shooked my head and laugh, is it that these guys haven't learnt any lesson from Kwara, I love the part "The Fulani has not changed their tactic of instigating strifes and rebellions for the discomfort of their foes, and recruiting allies in the bedroom of the enemy". they will rather blame and hate Igbos than Fulani people that have dealt with them, typical example is #endsare protest in Lagos, the north youths killed and burnt many properties in Fagba community Lagos state, even the Lekki shooting but the cowards were busy attacking Igbos, they see Igbos as threat because of their progressive nature than the north, never in history have Igbos forcefully taken or occupy any tribe's land, what ever they owns outside Igbo land its their wealth they used and acquired them from the natives, take your time and read the article you will understand why I said Yoruba and Igbo can never unite, because of Muslim among them who are welling tools at the hands of Caliphate, Yoruba among themselves can't even unite not to talk of other tribes in South, the Yoruba Christians can easily form alliance with Igbos or others in South but Muslim among them case for another day.

The difference is clear.. Yoruba no be Igbo.

People like Azikiwe thought they could worship Hausa/Fulanis to get presidency. Look at PMB that formed alliance with Tinubu to defeat then incumbent GEJ, that is respect.

Yoruba presidency in 2023 is non negotiable.

Political jobber everywhere. One certain thing that will never happen in 2023 is to see a northern president.
Whether pdp or apc like it let them give a northerner their ticket.

Very brilliant and well articulated, they have recruited hungry e worriors from west to defend them online, and blame Igbos, just look at what happened after SARS protest how they manipulated them and they started blaming Igbos, that Igbos want to destroy Lagos, last week I saw picture of Emir of Fulani of Lagos one posted I saw how some Yoruba e-worriors were attacking the guy that created the thread used Eze ndi Igbo as a reference, I shooked my head and laugh, is it that these guys haven't learnt any lesson from Kwara, I love the part "The Fulani has not changed their tactic of instigating strifes and rebellions for the discomfort of their foes, and recruiting allies in the bedroom of the enemy". they will rather blame and hate Igbos than Fulani people that have dealt with them, typical example is #endsare protest in Lagos, the north killed and burnt many properties in Lagos even the Lekki shooting but the cowards were busy attacking Igbos, they see Igbos as threat because of their progressive nature than the north, never in history have Igbos forcefully taken or occupy any tribe's land, what ever they owns outside Igbo land its their wealth they used and acquired them from the natives, take your time and read the article you will understand why I said Yoruba and Igbo can never unite, because of Muslim among them who are welling tools at the hands of Caliphate, Yoruba among themselves can't even unite not to talk of other tribes in South, the Yoruba Christians can easily form alliance with Igbos or others in South but Muslim among them case for another day. This is fact

You're nothing but a liar..

Which Hausas burnt properties in Lagos? The Obinna caught in Ondo too is Hausa??

Good you know Yorubas and Igbos can't agree on anything. Same treacherous behaviour you lots have been doing since Awolowo, M.K.O who you never supported but denied them their mandates with your masters up North.

Like the writer said, Igbos should meet PDP they served for 21 years and counting for presidency and not APC they contributed nothing to. It's easier for a Northerner to emerge president than for Umahi or anyone from SE in 2023.

Good morning

To me, The concept of Igbo presidency had always been a victim mentality, we should talk about South East presidency and when that happens, I would really be happy if an Igala man from Anambra or an Ette man from Enugu or any other minority tribe in the South East to go for president, Nigeria is built on selfish platforms, how could we keep talking about Igbo presidency, what about other minority tribes are they not Nigerians as well

I will laugh at you and your likes soon,

Same way you laughed in 2015 I guess..

After calling Yorubas all sort of names, backstabbers, betrayers etc. for not supporting your Igbocentric GEJ, your eyes have now cleared and you think the "backstabbers" will give you anything in 2023.
Y'all will fvcking stay long in opposition. That's a fact.
