Thinkam:This life nah turn by turn bros. They collaborated with the North at the expense of their southern neighbour until the 4th republic. Ironsi wasn't recommended to head the army by our departing Masters but the NCNC/NPC alliance produced him The VCs of Ibadan and Lagos were also product of the NPC/NCNC alliance. There are plenty examples like that. This same NCNC/NPC divided the west and left the North and East alone despite the minorities in those 2 regions wanting autonomy . Awolowo was also jailed by the reactionary forces of Ibo/Fulani. As God would have it, the alliance collapsed , there was a coup and a counter coup and the rest was history . Infact, the Ibos were occupying the same seats Yorubas are occupying presently between 1979 and 1983. They even rejoiced and called Yorubas perpetual opposition and heaven did not fall. Let me tell you something today , politics is about interests so I don't begrudge the Ibos for what they enjoyed during their marriage with the North . The first mass killing of Southerners in Nigeria happened before independence in 1945 and the predominant victims were Ibos . Did that stop Ibos from forging alliance with the North in 1959 ?? After everything that happened between July 1966 and 1970 , did it stop Ibos from embracing the North again in 1979 Didn't Ojukwu return from exile to join the Northerners ?? I know you are an Atiku guy and Peter Obi's emergence has made Atiku suffer alot . He no longer trend in the South like he did in 2019 because his major supporters have dumped him for Obi. I have great respect for Obi though he isn't a Saint like he's been portrayed. But hey! Who is But politics is about interest. As a Yoruba , I'd be maximally supporting Tinubu with my time and resources. Our fore fathers led by Awolowo were idealists who wanted true federalism. This so called true federalism has refused to come . While my ancestors were running around singing true federalism, the Ibos and Fulanis were singing one Nigeria with its attendant benefits . So , it's time for Yorubas to dance to the tune of one Nigeria too. Unless something drastic happens, Bola Tinubu would become the president next year. The SW/Northern alliance is still intact . The emergence of Tinubu in the APC's primary cemented it . If you think Asiwaju 's emergence was as a result of some deft political manoeuvre, I have an airport to sell to you . It was a payback for the 2015 alliance . You are a notherner and I'm sure you understand the concept of AMANAR . I was initially afraid the rug had been pulled off Aiwaju's feet until I saw his public appearance with the Sultan on the Friday preceeding the primaries. I quickly told one of my brothers that Asiwaju would definitely emerge which was what happened. The good thing about next year's election is that we would no longer hear about Biafra for a very long time . |

Thinkam: Think Support Obi for 2023. He is not a saint/perfect but the man na uncommon Nigerian. At least lets change the direction the country is heading to. May God bless you and open doors of favour for you and cause the works of your hands to prosper this week. |
