My instinct tells me Laudate is a Yoruba. He/she posts in Yoruba whenever he/she likes. Sometimes he/she complains that he/she is going to report us to his/her grandma when we posted in Yoruba during Yoruba hour


The UME question is, who is HE/SHE?

I don't think Laudate is Yoruba.A very mysterious character.He/she speaks Igbo as well.

I should make a documentary with the title "Uncovering Laudate"

THE RISE OF THE HAUSA-FULANI HEGEMONY
The irrefutable fact is that whatever the theological justifications and convictions for Usman Dan Fodio’s 1804 Jihad, it led to the rise of an aristocratic ethnic minority which terrorized a whole region via force of arms rather than just religious persuasion.

Through military conquest, organizational and strategic genius, and a political savvy that allowed Hausa nationalities to subordinate their own will and interests to the Fulani, a powerful Hausa-Fulani or better still Fulani-Hausa hegemony has been in place for more than 200 years.

In the Fulani worldview, Christian Hausas in Northern Nigeria are a potential subversive force that threatens the established religious and political power of the Caliphate in Sokoto. In essence, the Christian Hausa community in Northern Nigeria is the antithesis of everything the Hausa-Fulani aristocratic arrangement stands for. It is for this reason that the Fulani especially have done everything possible on numerous occasions to subordinate, frustrate, persecute, and if necessary exterminate Hausa Christians, whenever the need has arisen.

MOVING FORWARD
Therefore, in the 21st century, if we are to understand Hausa-Fulani hegemony, the perennial problem of marauding Fulani herdsmen, and the pestilence of sporadic religious violence, we must come to terms with these uncomfortable facts in our nation’s history.

With the foregoing in mind, it is clear that –

1. Over the last 200 years, Hausa-Fulani hegemony has increased, and not decreased.
2. Regardless of Administration (military or democratic), the Hausa-Fulani aristocracy has ensured that its interests are always safeguarded, particularly as gatekeepers of key political and military positions.
3. As long as the Hausa-Fulani aristocratic mindset prevails, under no circumstances will breakaway Republics be allowed in the South, nor separatist Hausa/Middle Belt movements in the North.

I want to us discuss the dynamics of Nigerian politics under the current government and what Yorubas stand to gain. I'll use excerpts from quimicababes' post as the preamble.



Now let's analyse the most important portfolios under Buhari's government.

- President: Northerner (Buhari)
- Senate President: Northerner.
- Speaker of the House: Northerner.
- Judiciary: Northerner.
- Chief of Army Staff: Northerner (this is the most important portfolio in the Nigerian armed forces cos of the structure and whoever heads the army controls the armed forces cos the Nigerian army is the only section within the Nigerian military that's potent. The Chief of Defence is just a mere appendage).
- Head of Customs: Northerner.
- Head of the Ports: Northerner.
- Petroleum Minister: Buhari should head this one - another Northerner.

The remaining important portfolios for decision making which are yet to be given out are:

- Finance
- Aviation
- Attorney General.

I think Northerners would take at least two out of the three. Mostly likely: Attorney General and Aviation.

So what's the implication of this hegemony on the Yorubas and how can we win the fight for regional-government/true-federalism when Northerners control all the important portfolio required to implement it?

P.S: please, post with a clear mind.

With a profile like this, I'm still trying to understand what Tinubu is up to. I'm finding it hard not to think that he has mistakenly sold Nigeria to the North.

Honestly, there's no hope but the division of this country.

All efforts to establish federalism/regionalism during GEJ ( a diverse administration ) was futile. I have no hope or expectation for this admin.

The President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has approved the construction of the $2.4 billion Lagos red line rail project.

According to Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, approving the right of way for the project had been a problem for donkey’s years as the Federal Government in the previous administration was reluctant to do so.

Bear in mind, the right of way belonged to the Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC.

“It took us four and half years to get approval for the project. It took us another four years to get them to discuss the technicality of the project with us. The right-of-way has been approved and we are in full discussion with the bidders,” he said.

Speaking on the Blue Line Light Rail project, the commissioner said the government would complete it by the end of next year.

“We are mindful of the problem of transportation in Lagos State. Towards the end of next year, something will happen. Our rail project is 27 km and we are doing it in phases. We are doing Mile 2 to CMS now and we will do Mile 2 to Okokomaiko later,” he said.

Please, let's leave Tinubu out of this. I knew he had no chance going against those folks, due to how the country is structure. However, I gave him the benefit of the doubt cos the party structure was under him during the elections. My only critique is the fact that some blinkered folks were trying to assert that he has surpassed Awolowo (hysterical cos in terms of political sagacity, Awolowo still towers above him despite the fact that the latter had his own weak points politically) and the fact that he turned Lagos into a family empire. Regardless, he did his thing and he's brighter than the current crop of folks masquerading as Yoruba leaders.

GEJ was an utter failure and he was just stupid to allow Igbos hijack his government. He had the chance to reduce the Northern hegemony and he won the election with four regions behind him. SE, SS, SE, and NC. He should've consolidated on that but he was just to dumb - hence he reduced his government to just two regions - SE/SS. Let's leave that weasel and utter failure in human skin out of the discourse as well.

So, how are we even going to get true-federalism/regional-government when the North, the same region that the status quo favours, has hijacked every portfolio required to push for that?

Brev, it's never that. Brothers don't fight. We might disagree but that bond that binds us all together will never let us fight.

Don't trust these women - one of them was the one who ate the forbidden fruit and we all know what happened after that.

Shyte, women have been instigating shyte since the Kingdom of Atlantis reigned supreme. And I'd wager that humanity lost that kingdom cos of women.
