Before The Spirit Of Orubebe Dies... by Whynotthetruth(m): 11:10am On May 15, 2015 |
Any close observer of the polity post-election would have seen more the actual reason for "get Jonathan out of the way election". From the comments of Mohammed, Shamshudeen to that of Sen. Dansadau etc and people will still come here to tell me about how Jonathan was voted out due to non-performance. Since when did we become so averse to non-performing leaders of which Jonathan doesn't fit the list. Some lords felt that Jonathan was fast making them to lose relevance hence they needed to reinvent themselves politically coupled with oil block licencing cum population census of 2016. To this a powerful propaganda machinery was needed to brainwash the smart by half majority. It's a truism that outside Jonathan, most of these men has been part of Nigeria misrule since 1978 till date. A journey through our history shows a country held hostage by its own and forced to be moving in circles. Why can't there be new leaders? Why can't we have true fiscal federalism? Why can't we regionalize this country? Why is the burden of ONE Nigeria always on the South? Nzeogwu & co believed due to post election crisis in SW, that they can rescue ONE Nigeria, but they plunged the eastern part into paying 'debts' unending. Ironsi believed in ONE Nigeria, and his blood was used to wash the streets. Isaac Boro screamed and cried for same injustice but was muscled out. Saro Wiwa came to the stage but his blood was used to entertain the oligarchs. Ojukwu decided to challenge the anomaly engendered by barefaced rape of our sanctity to life and association but was confronted with more blood on our streets and made a fugitive in his supposed fatherland. Yes, subsequently Easterners were subjected to the background after the gift of 20pounds as punishment for "no victor; no vanquished". Some of their people were used as baits to whittle down the genuine demands and general wellbeing of majority by giving them crumbs called political appointments. While NigerDeltans were brainwashed through series of well oiled propaganda to see the Igbos as their enemies and root cause of their problem. While the alien term SS came into being to copiously highlight the divide always. SouthWest were made heroes of their fellow southern brothers woes; but unfortunately were eaten by same tiger they fed. Awolowo was stampeded even to death. And Abiola who had national appeal was not allowed to be. Finally, he became a story and a sentence in the past amidst laughter from the lords of Nigeria. Obasanjo thrived with the hides and shadow of late Shehu Yar'adua(progenitor of the powerful Kaduna mafia). He is a cat with nine lives. He had his bread buttered by the gods but choose to dine with devil and became lord of demons. Blood of the innocents especially from the creeks cries around him for vengeance. And now, came Jonathan not an Igbo but from a background feeling the pangs of pain and marginalization like Igbo. He gave so much to pacify these internal colonialists and oligarchs at the expense of developing his region but was rejected, framed as corrupt notwithstanding the reputable; "Transparency International" verdict vindicating him. He was humiliated out of office. We all know our position back in the years. In all, Jonathan didn't just lose. We lost too. It may not be easy to see any Southerner rise to that post in the near future without some radical breakthrough. Forget the noise and empty rhetorics of people like Rochas Okorocha and co. Boys talk; men act. The North by the smart machinery instituted by Prof. Attahiru Jega would always determine and decide who rules Nigeria notwithstanding the voting pattern down South. Irrespective of South's discontent with government in power; unless North decide otherwise the government MUST persist. What slavery is more than this?...Read the dailies and cry for the future because these people we term "aabookiii" ruled all my ancestry, my grandfather, my father and now myself, with the country bastardized and in shambles. When will it all end with all the sycophants, and many smart by half people down South? Is it too much to ask if Nigeria is reduced to regions with a weak central government? The cries and shrills of Elder Godsday Orubebe in that INEC hall echoes in my heart... 53 Likes 16 Shares |

Some lords felt that Jonathan was fast making them to lose relevance hence they needed to reinvent themselves politically coupled with oil block licencing cum population census of 2016. You couldn't have put it any better, many people down South didn't realise what the issues were. They bought into the sleek slogan of "change". The North are truly the most sophisticated region in terms of political and economic awareness. In all, Jonathan didn't just lose. We lost too. Our fight for referendum or true federalism would make GEJ's loss a blessing in disguise. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Nigeria needs some serious restructuring to allow for healthy competition between regions and people... The system has been skewed and programmed for unhealthy domination by one part. Let's go for what is right so as to allow equity, justice, healthy competition, increased progress, grassroots development etc to thrive... 10 Likes 1 Share |

It is a twin fight. Referendum for Biafra/Lower Niger on one hand and True Federalism with at least 50% derivation formular on the other hand. We can not continue in this destructive path Mogidi: 9 Likes 1 Share |

Whynotthetruth:The election has been won and lost, if you feel sad about the results, go and strategies for 2019. What has ironsi got to do with the last election? 1. Did this same Jonathan not win overwhelming in 2011 expecially in the North? 2. Did these same Jonathan not carry the eternal looters along? 3. Was the last 5yrs not a looting spree?

Mogidi:Yeah bro! My preference for United SS/SE is borne out of the fact that the SS has never been an administrative entity. The individual tribes withing the SS share similarity in tradition, culture, belief system, struggle etc with the Igbos in the SE. In fact, there are Igbo tribes within the SS- and it will make no sense to separate them or tell them to go. Looking at the bigger picture, the SE has always been brotherly though misunderstood in the past. A SS/SE country will have autonomous nation within the Federation or loose conferederation. We all stand to gain a lot just like the system of Bosnia and Canada. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
