I am surprised this is coming from you. You don't support OPC in its formative years.

I fully support the existence of OPC although I have lost faith in the leadership at the moment. Just I have lost faith in the political leadership in the SW.

If the SW military wing and Political class could align, the demand for regional integration would be greater and there would be progress. Similar to how Sein Fein and the IRA worked together to get the demands of Northern Irish Catholics met.

Adesope Emerges As New OPC 'Reformed' President

The crisis within the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) has continued to escalate as the new faction of the group had their Ojo local government meeting in Lagos yesterday October 13, 2015.

The occasion which was the aftermath of the trip by perennial national coordinator, Otunba Gani Adams, who recently inaugurated the Oodua Peoples Union (OPU) in Ghana, Togo and Ivory Coast.

Comrade Dare Adesope who is the president of the Oodua People’s Congress Reformed (OPCR) was present at the occasion, including Alhaji Afis Olubisi who is the governor of the Yoruba interest group

The event which was held at the open-field of the Federal Government College, Ijanikin was well attended by members of the group.

In his welcome speech, Adesope who is a native of Oyo state, revealed that the groups’ mission is to ensure peace as well as protect of the Yoruba race.

He said: “Our primary aim is to ensure peace and security within our jurisdiction. We were formerly with Dr Frederick Faseun, but due to several reasons. He promised that by the time the group clocks 20years, he was going to relinquish power to me.”

“Come that day, August 29, 2014 he didn’t. During the election, the OPC was the major group clamouring and agitating we were the one shouting, agitating about the marginalisation of the Yoruba race, that Goodluck Jonathan’s government was marginalising us, all of a sudden, it changed again that we have to work for Jonathan, and this is because he has promised them something.”

The Higher National Diploma (HND) holder and former general secretary to Faseun lamented that his group had to break-away because it dawned on them that the crisis may never be resolved.

“When you are talking about organization, it’s not about self, it is about membership and we felt we cannot continue with him. So many elders tried to resolve this issue, but he was adamant and we don’t want to rubbish along with him, and we decided to pull-out.

“Our name is now Oodua Peoples Congress Reformed (OPCR). Our logo and mission statement is different from theirs. Faseun founded OPC, but the way he is running the organization, we do not accept it,” he lamented.

On his path, the governor of the OPCR, Afis Olabisi revealed that touts and criminals made up members of the OPC. According to him, touts and miscreants have infested the Faseun led group.

“We had to leave OPC because touts and criminals have mixed with us. If we are going out, our men will be shooting sporadically and doing all sorts of ills within the society. During election, they took us out on political party rallies and this group was never founded on that.”

“We complained to Faseun, but he refused to hear. It then dawned on us that we need someone else to lead us. Faseun is now 80 years and he is not fit for such a tasking position and we trust Adesope.”

Meanwhile, the national coordinator of the OPC, Alhaji Gani Adams has formally inaugurated the Oodua Progressive

It is his observation but it is largely flawed if we look at the almost fragile make up of the white man physique and they still hold the ace in football worldwide...
Pele,Ronaldo etc cannot be categorised as being sturdy but they are some of the greatest footballers in the world...

The children of hate were just doing what they know how to do best

We had to substitute the HOME AND THE DIASPORA Part for POLITICS so they won't give us any excuses

Firefire:


I support the OPC movement from inception.

I witnessed all the terrible tribal war in Lagos: btw. OPC & Ijaw, OPC & Hausa. It was too bloody thou.

We need a military wing to wade-off intruders.

"Omo Oodua ni mi tokantokan" that is one of our slogan.

God bless the Yoruba nation.

OnReflection:


I was one of ogbeni Aregbe's greatest supporters, to begin with.
But if you ask me for an appraisal of his efforts in the area of public administration, today, it is without equivocation that I would locate him as one of the least effectual leaders in the South West. While I can cite numerous examples of what informs my current view, let me draw on two that do not focus unduly on the state's current financial crises.

(1) Osun state has made the least effort to enshrine a framework of e-government.
- Budgets are hardly ever made public.
- Policy documents are scant
In sum, fiscal transparency is none existent

(2) The implementation of Opon Imo, an initiative which has proved to be both unsustainable and unfit for purpose, was a total sham.
- While we heralded this feat with great aplomb at the time, the truth is; no comphenesive trial was ever carried out.
- Difficult questions which might have helped to address stakeholder concern were fobbed off, in search of "a first" for Osun.
- When the state's chapter of the opposition party (PDP) questioned the involvement of Kabiru Aregbesola in this scheme, a telling response (copied in below was provided by the governor)

Note: Please pay close attention to the statement I highlighted and tell me your sensibilities aren't offended by the lame attempt to rationalise nepotism.

P.S - I have deliberately limited my criticism to these two examples because I think Ogbeni is beleaguered enough as it is, at the moment.

@bolded

First of, you asked what sports is to Yorubaman and I will simply say sports means a lot to these present generation than the past generations, then Yorubas priorities education than others(military, police, sports etcetera). Although, many Yoruba parents still holds tightly unto that archaic philosophy or traditions(this one self just started 200 years ago) of 'you must go to school' but boy Don sabi say no be only book fit bring ruch or pepe come. Or do you think Yorubas don't see Obafemi, Mikel, Adebayor and Co, we no go school but dey live large?

Bros, Your second question is strange to me and to those who are aware of Yoruba's exploits both in cerebral energy and physical energy sports. How soon have you forgotten that the likes of Kareem Abdul Jabber and Hakeem Olajuwon had once dominated the world in basketball, that the likes of Rasheed Yekini, Emmanuel Adebayor, Segun Odegbami, Yakubu Aiyegbeni had once dominated Africa and European football and even David Alaba is currently dominating all Africans put together in the European leagues, he was selected twice for UEFA first eleven(the regetted stone becoming the corner stone). have you forgotten so soon that Deji Ali, Deley Thompson(top 3 greatest decathlethes ever), Olusola Fasuba( the ninth fastest 100m ever), Femi Ogunode(fastest Asian 100m ever) once dominated Africa, Asia, Europe and the world at large. Time will not permit me to mention Yoruba's dominance in boxing(Areaonakakanfo and Sir Shymm3x na oga for this one) , hockey, American football, etcetera.

Are all these sports not part of physical energy sports?

Sir, permit me to humbly say that your submissions are not cogent enough to dismiss the facts on ground. I rest my case. Shalom
