That fume will choke you

Whether they stand or not, this coming Election has been tribalized, and its effects will have to live, with Nigerians for an unseeable amount of years...

Stop trying to push your candidate down our throat through cheap emotional card.

Afenifere says, enough is enough to the hate mongers. You can’t vote in criminals and expect them to act honorably in power. Agbado urchins lu’le!

Differing views is acceptable in the spirit of national inclusion and unification. This is history being laid down and reference to it in future has the potential to further solidify the unity of the south.

This is why Yorùbás can gladly beat their chest that Nigerian history is replete with their fight for justice, fairness and entrenchment of democracy for Nigerians. MKO, Kudirat sacrificed their lives for it. Gani Fawehinmi, the lawyer and human right activist, was a torn in the flesh of Abacha military junta. Tinubu, Wọlé Soyinka used Radio Kudirat to fight off the military junta. Wọlé Soyinka and Fálànà et Al fought to make sure that the doctrine of necessity required to swear in the vice president (who was being oprresed by the cabal then) when there is an ailing or incapacitated president is effected, something which effectively brought in Jonathan, a non-Yoruba, as the de factor president. It is the same Soyinka and with Bakare et al that condemned GEJ when he began failing in his duties towards Nigerians who voted him in. Please note that at this time, Soyinka and Bakare and indeed every other southerners who called out GEJ for his ineptitude at that time automatically became the object of derision and abuse for every Igbos that cared to express blind support for GEJ. Of those that condemned GEJ, the Yorùbás were called jealous, and the Ijaws/few Igbos were called bastards. Even the Ijaws (GEJ's south south people) were no match for the Igbos in the defence of their brother whom the Igbos already believed was an acceptable representation of south Eastern Nigeria in governance.

All these are to one end - justice, fairness and equity for the oppressed.

In Yorùbá, the elder is expected to be fair to all parties. A saying goes that "a newly born infant should not have a distorted head in the presence of an elderly person in the market place".

What I am however unsure of is if the Ndigbo will have done the same if roles were reversed and I have valid reasons. Some are as follows:

¶ The unnatural tagging of Lagos as no man's land when it is obvious that Calabar and Lokoja were once the nation's capital and yet not tagged such anathema by the Yorùbás. Even the audacity to tag Abuja the current capital city as no man's land cannot be mustered by any one.

¶ The mocking, though positive tag of the Yorubas as "accommodators" and the unnatural opportunism to use such to cause roforofo issues. Meanwhile such accommodative reception cannot be said to be offered to the accommodators when roles are reversed. Note that the back and forth of this particular name calling, when it was finally an acceptable norm among some Igbos, was what led to the eventual coinage of similar word by the Yorubas to counter the Igbos - the word "developers", which is meant as a derogatory term but a positive truth nonetheless.

¶ The deliberate and diabolical distortion of history to paint the liberal south west as the villain when it comes to narrating history, deliberately leaving out the good and gallant actions which are interjections of history by the Yorùbás, actions aimed towards fostering national unity, avoiding vendetta and entrenching togetherliness amongst folks in Southern Nigeria. Meanwhile the narrators paint themselves as the saint and the victimized at every turn of the narrations.

One example is the protection and caretaking of properties in the south west that belonged to fleeing Igbos during the unfortunate civil war and the subsequent return of those properties to the rightful owners when they returned after the war. This includes the rent accrued during the time of their absence.

Another example is the courageous death of colonel Fajuyi. Aguiyi Ironsi (from the south East) was his guest when the coup plotters from Northern Nigeria meant to assassinate him in Ibadan, the then capital city of the old western region. Colonel Fajuyi knowing that such has the tendency of negatively affecting history forever in southern Nigeria maintained that he will not allow them to assassinate Aguiyi Ironsi as it will give the impression of complicity of the Yorùbás particular at a time when the integrity of the thread of national unity was been threatened. He said they will have to go thru him first, and indeed they did.

They killed him (Fajuyi), then went inside to assassinate Aguiyi Ironsi.

I can go on and on.

The elders and honest leaders of South Eastern Igbos know all these history and some of them try as much as possible to tell the truth if it. Unfortunately their voices are being drowned out by the majority emotional and restless youths of today who believe that their hitherto friend has always been their arch enemy. They strongly hold believe these false narratives and therefore enact all their unwholesome attitude along these false storyline and further widen that gorge of disagreement between the two major owners of Southern Nigeria.

The disadvantage of these is that thes current youth pass these false narratives down to their offspring who also swallow such hook line and sinker. The same reasons why history was abolished from the Nigerian school curriculum is the same reason why these ones will refuse to make due diligence for private study to learn and prevent an enemy to tell their own history for them.

Afeniferi is The Intellectual Leader of The Yoruba since these are men who dinned with the "great" Awolowo. I think PA Adebanjo is more enlightened and more intelligent than Awolowo. I'm Yoruba and I hold Awolowo with very little regard. Vote Peter Obi.

I highly doubt that you are. No Yoruba holds Awolowo with little regard, if for anything at all his drive towards free education and development of the Southern Region which many of our fathers enjoyed in those days.

He may not be perfect across board, but unlike the politicians of today, he had genuine and selfless plans towards development of the Yorùbás who owned the south west.

He established OBAFEMI Awolowo University, but against all "reasoning" of today politicians, refused to have it established in his home state of Ogun, but put it in Ile-Ife, the ancestral home and origin of the Yorùbás.

He was not overtly rich at death. He was modestly wealthy unlike our politicians of today who will steal their people blind while leaving them in penury and poverty.

You disregard him, but the British fear him because of his intelligence. They feared his collaboration with Enahoro who was equally brilliant and so they (Britain) blackmailed Nnamdi Azikiwe to back-stab the Yorùbás I order for the Northern oligarchy, which the brit saw as loyal to them, to clinch the prime ministerial position.

If your axe to grind is with Tinubu, I may not really have much to say in his defence because of his many fallacies even though he has his good parts too, but saying Awolowo is not a hero to a Yoruba makes me to doubt your ancestral claim.

Please history is there for us to learn from and plot our future.

The endorsement is their rights and reflects the sophistication and culture of the Yoruba. You are allowed to express your different political views. It is just the reality that this endorsement has no electoral value.

In fact, nobody in that room believes that they can run to town with that endorsement and get votes among the Yoruba but it is conceded to them to express their different political view.

Not even in Lagos where the press conference held of Ijebu Igbo the ancestral home of Pa Adebanjo, will lp get votes of Yoruba on the account of that press briefing. It is an exercise in futility. Even Chief Sonibare who was present there is a factional chairman of SDP and will never ask his folks to ignore SDP to vote lp.
The Yoruba votes is locked down for Asiwaju and as at today, nothing has moved a needle to change the mind of majority of Yoruba to vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

4 zones are locked down for Asiwaju; NW, SW, NE and NC. The PDP will get SE as usual while SS will be shared between PDP and APC. There is no space for a mushroom party backed by unpatriotic elements.

Why dont you speak for yourself??
Who appointed you as mouthpiece for the Yoruba people??
You had better stay on your lane and speak for yourself,at the end of the day,you have only ONE Voter's card.

All of a sudden:

1. Afenifere is not the mouthpiece of the Yoruba people.

2. Northern Elders forum is not the mouthpiece of the Northern people.

God works in a miraculous way.

If you don't gerrit, OYO.

Have you noticed that all those who believe the APC would win in the north are not from the north and do not live there. These people do not know the current political disposition of the north.
You would hardly see any northerner or anyone based in the north that believes APC has a chance in any core northern state.
I say this as someone that has a business in Bungudu and that constantly travels across the country.

Your opinion, I won't crucify you for that. Obi la maa dibo fun. In the spirit of equity and fairness.
Wait, you said endorsement doesn't win elections abi? But when same afenifere picked and endorsed tinubu whose name wasn't known to many in Nigeria before 1999 and allowed him to run under the then AD, their party, you guys never said endorsement can't win elections. We shall see.

Keyamo has fumbled on Sunday on same issues, telling Keem Baba-Ahmed, the leader of Northern elders forum that their endorsement can't win election in the north for Tinubu, citing their stance against buhari in 2019 due to poor governance. Tinubu's team is busy making mistakes. North wey no wan vote for you before, Keyamo com dey attack their leaders. We shall see

Shut up your mouth and accept the truth.

When Pa Fasoranti ( Afenifere Leader at that time) daughter was killed by herdsmen along Lagos-Ore Expressway, Tinubu rebuffed the claim it was herdsmen and rhetorically asked where were the cows. Am sure more will still come for his past remarks which clearly defines his person.

LMAO!

It is the audacity with which you just distributed Nigerian votes to suit your selfish interest and placate your over bloated ego, for me.

Normally I wouldn't even bother to patronise you with a response because Nairaland is sadly replete with your arrogant kind, but for you to be delusional enough to comfortably presume the entirety of Nigerians are leashed to your selfish ambition and that of your pay masters, is just about enough grounds for any sane mind to feel insulted.

I cannot wait for 2023. The outcome of the elections will leave the likes of you pained, befuddled and completely downcast.

A fractional leader you claimed Baba Adebanjo represent is the only faction that stand with people, and wholeheartedly fighting for the interest of the Yoruba. The other one are emilokan interest. That is why they imposed this calamity we are experiencing now on us, and an adage says that, show me your friend and we know who you are. They still too arrogant to still tell us they are going to continue with where this calamity stops, God forbid affliction for the second time.

Sure thing is that the Adebanjo himself will not be able to deliver his unit for LP Comes 2023.

With all due respect in the world to Pa adebanjo, leader afenifere

Afenifere as a group is as insignificant as the letter 'p' in the word 'psychology' when talking about influencing the yorubas. So i guess they are just looking for mere cheap attention afterall, you will definitely get your 1-week fame. After that, the 'on your own' group 'afenifere' will crawl back inside the hole of insignifancy. Place befitting of a group that have vast history of never picking side with a winner before. Legendary bunch of losers.

Infact, nobody in the south-west gives a damn or heck about the Afenifere group opinion on political matters. Its opinion is personal to itself, and as such it's inconsequential, frivolous, inconsiderable, irrelevant, insignificant and minuscule.

May i remind, Pa. Adebanjo, with all due respect. That this same set of people wanting to rule Nigeria, invoke, instigate, abet and incite one of the greatest violence and distruction to ever hit one of the south-west region, Lagos state. They invaded our home, loot, burn, destroy our businesses in disguise of Endsarz revolution, even though if you can recall sir , that we openly accepted them in mass exodus into our region, we gave them suitable place to do business, sold them lands for houses... But all they could everly think of is to always bite the finger we use in feeding them repeatedly through deep hatred, insults, and going far as instigating us against eachother by using common words like Yoruba muslim-yoruba christians- Liberal yoruba muslim- northern slave yoruba muslim to divide us along religious line. They do this purely due to the hate they abhour towards us.


Sir, with due respect. I will never ever be part or party to any group of people, or be use as a tool that will bring onboard one of these children of hate that called this our beloved country which the yoruba is also an integral part a 'Zoo' .

People that refers to the yorubas as the 'Northerner slaves' and have never ever wish for the growth or stability of the yoruba region in general.

Infact let me be clear sir that if it is Peter obi only on the ballot, i as a person will rather not vote atall. I dont have a vote to waste on a chief tribal bigot disguising as a friend of the yoruba region just to actualise whatever desperate ambition he is chasing. Because if you can recall sir, this same man peter obi pulled a charade not long ago, when he acted like he was reading from a whatssap message supposedly sent by someone from a yoruba group according to him. You can recall vividly well without being sentimental that the only motive of reading that message was to cause an uproar and tribal tension between the yorubas and the igbos. A sheep doesnt change its clothe. So does an average yiibo person. They are all the same. Different person, same tribalistic soul. Nothing less, nothing more

Lastly, let me be clear sir. It is us against them. It is Nigeria against its enemies. It is yoruba against its enemies. Thank you.

Let me just quote you make he no be like say u no get any likes or quote, oya rush go collect your 2k from your whatsapp group by writing this rubbish
