CabbieAC: Yes, you are right. I know the Scientist. One of our major problems in Yorubaland is sabotage(Abode or Igbeyinbeboje). I noticed some Yoruba dudes have been avoiding this thread because they don't want to post anything that would annoy their paymasters. The APC/PDP brouhaha is really sabotaging a lot of things. If you are not a member of their political party, they won't have anything to do with you no matter how good the idea is. God deliver us from saboteurs aka sabo. 3 Likes |

CabbieAC: ![]() + The ONLY way to change politicians is to make them suffer severely in the polls. I will classify the need to strengthen our political system under Short-term/immediate goals. We have Sowere's SaharaTV model (very instrumental in exposing GJ incompetence and consequent ouster) as a model will can bring to bear on SW politics. Also, we should study America's conservative REDSTATE model - which using its website, forum and gathering to push the Republican Party farther to the right - leading to the primaryING of candidates who fail their litmus test on Conservativism. Of course, to kick-start, we have to find a way to inform and engage Yorubas on the ground. Anyone with ideas on how this can be done should respond accordingly. |

Emilokoiyawon: How will you make them suffer severely in the polls when its still one of those two parties you will vote for.Its like spinning around the same pole.If you don't vote PDP, Is it KOWA you will vote for? |

Emilokoiyawon: I see passion for Yoruba in your post. Eni ma tun ori omo tuntun se o kin jina si, Eni ma tun atupa se o kin ji na si, Eni to ba ma tun nkan to ku die k'ito ni ile aye yin se o ni jina si yin o egbon mi. I still think the way to achieve the short and long term goals (I believe we should pursue both) but before it can be a success, loyalty to party has to be made secondary. People have to sensitized to put Yoruba first, no matter what. Afenifere and the militant arm, the OPC need to re-invent themselves and their membership. 2 Likes |

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Emilokoiyawon: 7:12pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
CabbieAC: We do this by taking control of the NOMINATION (PRIMARY) process.See the REDSTATE model I suggested. It doesn't matter what party it is, if we take control of the nomination process of both parties the identity of the winning party becomes irrelevant, since 'our' candidate will be elected. Its very similar to the American Israeli policy where the president candidate, either GOP or Democrat, can ONLY be elected if he is sanctioned by the American-Israeli coalition. This can be done. It has been done. It is nothing new. 1 Like |

9jacrip: The Hausa/Fulani alignment is just a political one and with the way those who're part of that alignment are being cheated...I honestly doubt it will last long, to be honest. Yorubas are just everywhere. They have a faction that worship Igbos and are scared that if Igbos were to leave the union, their lives would automatically be miserable cos of probably the primeval nollywood movies they watch or the cheap and substandard China manufactured Igbo goods they buy. Then you have got the ones who think revenues can be generated only via the oil wealth and without the oil wealth Yorubas are doomed. And finally, the ones who believe they would go hungry without food from the North. That's how utterly ridiculous, shallow, and unintelligent a lot of these folks are. This is just my personal observation. The funniest thing is that: Yorubas can easily replace all these things in no time. However, these folks are just too mentally lazy to think ahead and have the foresight that it's greener on the other side. At least a Yoruba country would grow exponentially and folks would be able to do things - without the shackles that come with the Nigerian quagmire. As for Nigeria, its ceiling will never be higher than what South Africa is today, developmentally (I honestly doubt Nigeria will ever be as developed as South Africa, especially with the crazy population growth and unstable oil prices). 3 Likes |

CabbieAC:This was the same thing that stalled the Olokola Free Trade Zone in Ogun and Ondo state. It was a project which would have been of immense benefit to the the entire Yoruba nation. It involves the construction of a deep sea port, an Oil refinery, a petrochemical, fertiliser, and ammonia plant. The investors who were to handle the project had to abandon it just because Governor Amosun(ACN) and Governor Mimiko(LP) couldnt reach a consensus 6 Likes 1 Share |

Emilokoiyawon: However, the problem today is bigger than leadership. The followers are just as mentally lazy as the leaders and would sing praises of non-achievements. And once you have a situation like that, leaders would become lackadaisical in their approach. How do we educate folks that you don't need other folks to order things from China and that they can always do that themselves? Heck, with the internet - you can order containers of goods from China with just a click off alibaba, aliexpress, DHgate etc.. How do we educate folks that Yorubas don't even need the oil wealth in the Niger Delta region to thrive? I believe there's oil and bitumen in Ondo, and if they can explore the coast of Lagos and Ogun waterside properly - those areas should have more than enough oil. And there are other resources in Yorubaland. A well structured and managed Yorubaland should be able to generate 10 times what all the Yoruba states get from Nigeria combined in no time. How do we educate folks that Yorubas have more than enough lands for agriculture to feed Yoruba folks and even export a lot? Etc.. 5 Likes 1 Share |

ProfShymex: Of course it won't, it never does but Igbo is a no go area and these Northerners have no problem working with the Igbo if they can find a common ground. The Northerners' relationship with other groups is like that of a man with two wives, he switches when his purpose can be served with any willing partner. Of course, Nigeria can never develop beyond what it is. Too many factors pointing to this obvious situation. The country itself is on auto-pilot as well as its many institutions who just run - employ/occupy then retire/vacate with nothing different happening and when something arises, they quickly patch it as usual. Nigeria was not designed to satisfy every party, it has been a country running with hopes to fix every error along the way. You killed me with the emboldened but it is the truth. ![]() 3 Likes |
