The Yoruba Council of Elders, YCE, yesterday, expressed worry over the state of the nation, just as it urged President Bola Tinubu to tackle the current hardship faced by Nigerians.

The YCE, in a statement by its General Secretary, Oladipo Oyewole, said though it was hopeful that there will be a positive turnaround in the country, “there is, presently, a lot of suffering in the land.”

The statement reads: “The YCE remains hopeful that Nigeria will have a turnaround. However, going by scanty information available on Government pursuits and activities, there is, presently, a lot of suffering in the land.

“Be that as it may, we of YCE stand on our strong position that the interest of the masses to live a good life should be given full attention. Without regular supply of electricity and with the official announcement of an increase in the price of Petroleum Products (PMS), the current hardship cannot but be increased in daily living by Nigerians. The Federal Government ought to immediately pursue every avenue to make available to our people, the dividends of democracy. Not through the distribution of palliatives (that does not seem to filter to the bottom) but by putting in place avenues to enhance proper/quality living through effective governance administration.

“Every Nigerian should be entitled to enjoy our common resources. Indeed, Nigerians are suffering deeply at this time, no light, no fuel, no food.

“Mr President should, without delay, revisit his drawing board to attend to the short-term needs of Nigerians (the immediate needs of the people) whilst pursuing the long-term vision of making Nigeria a better place for growth and development

“As Elders, YCE wants immediate succour for the people to boost the welfare of Nigerians so that all can live in comfort and harmony. As far as this Elders Council is concerned a lot of administrative work by government is (absolutely) required for the masses of this country to live, stay alive as respectable and responsible people.

“The state of this nation today is a pill that has a bitter taste. The administration of President Bola Tinubu should do something quickly to ensure proper steering of its intentions to establish and install better governance in Nigeria. Infact, the Presidency should do all possible to alleviate the suffering of all Nigerians immediately and without delay.”

"Now, we come to the ‘sophisticated’ South-West, and to a great extent, the South-South. I wept for Yorubaland! The regioen proved to be the most unfortunate group in the ‘protest’, which ensured that everything about the hunger in the land is as a result of the ‘hatred’ for Tinubu!

I feel so ashamed each time I come across the state-sponsored narratives that have emanated from the South-West over this ‘protest’. Again, the pro-government groups and individuals in the South-West have also shown that Nigeria is a superglued nation!

For many of these ‘Hallelujah’ groups, it doesn’t matter if Tinubu performs in office or not as long as it is a Yoruba man that is there! They don’t care if or not their man would be leaving behind any legacy.

These are the set of people (very many of them hungry and beggarly), who have taken the “Èmilókán” campaign to a level that no matter how fatuous a government policy is, as long it is Tinubu that initiated it, ‘all true sons and daughters of Yorubaland’ must embrace it!

To them, with that kind of thinking faculty, the hunger in the land is because people lost elections. The inability of farmers to go to their farms because of farmers’/herders’ clashes can be traced to election losers. The floating of the Naira, poor economic policies of the government and the extravagance at all levels of government is all about 2027. Pity!

Oh there is pain and suffering already? I guess the land of sophisticated politics that enthroned a criminal and disaster said they want to teach some people a political lesson? So why the bleating, neighing, howling, lamentations and dirge?

Una never see something yet. Lagos boy just sharing pain, anguish, despair, frustrations, hunger, disappointments and shege promax everywhere. Sarrki, Afamed, Helineus, Eriggs, Mannabbgrills, Seunmsg, NgeneUkwenu una Elders they cry ebi npa wa o

Yeleba ronuuu

The Yoruba council of elders has also joined the wailing company.

The veil has finally fallen off the eyes of the Yoruba leaders, very soon tribalism will die in Nigeria and all of us will see things the way it is, and speak out.
Until then enjoy your emilokan tragedy part 1

Tinubu came to steal, kill and destroy

Pa Adebanjo is the only yoruba elder I accord much respect and reference to non-partisan politics. Although I don't believe an Igbo man (hausa and yoruba included) is the messiah to take Nigeria to the land flowing with milk and honey, Pa Adebanjo threw his weight behind Igbo presidency to cement the broken relationship among the tribes and assure the SE of their inclusion in building the nation.

Ohaneze, truthfully, did not aggresively drum their support for Peter Obi as Pa Adebanjo did. Add that to the many reasons I will ever respect that man. I would even wish he was the president of Nigeria as Yar Adua was before death took him (Yar Adua).

No light, no food, no fuel, Nigerians suffering deeply, Yoruba elders tell Tinubu

Economic reforms going on, it shall soon be better, President Tinubu will reply these Yoruba elders to deceive them.
