Can The Yorubas Be Trusted? by mekaboy(m): 1:26am On Mar 06, 2017
2015 elections have passed and the APC have been unable to deliver 10% of what they promised and 2019 is fast approaching.

The situation of the country today is not the picture most Nigerians had in mind before voting APC into power.

President buhari hardly visited the SE and SS and have not visited since he won. APC needs to redeem their image and gain the trust of Nigerians before 2019. But the resources required to perform the miracle are scarce. Since the 5% and 97% saga,the people of the SE and SS have seen themselves as people neglected because of their decision during the elections.Rather than president buhari to find a way to create a bridge,went on to arrest Nnamdi Kanu, making him more popular than he was. This increased the agitation and collaboration between the SE and SS.

As it is today, buhari is not physically fit to carry out his duties as president, hence handing over to Osibanjo the VP.

Now, time is running out, economy is in a mess, and the APC have discovered how valuable the Niger delta oil regions are. They need the area to be calm so we can export more and raise enough funds to stabilize things. Rather than acknowledge this region, Buhari went ahead to search for oil in other regions. But even if they find the oil, before they can make meaningful use, 2019 is here and they are voted out.

Now osibanjo who is yoruba and Christian, believes he will be given a listening ear In the SS. He believes he can negotiate with the region to bring lasting peace for the country to move forward.

Now the demands of the Niger delta, is also interconnected with the biafran Agitation. In other for peace to come to the region, Nnamdi kanu must be released. If Kanu is not released, no peace in the SE and SS, no income for Nigeria, and failure for APC.

Now the VP osibanjo is doing this for his party interest and secondarily for national interest.

But what if he succeeds? What if he agrees to the conditions of the SS and SE and there is peace? What if there is improvement as a result of the peace? What if things begin to look good under him for the party?

Here we have another Goodluck Jonathan situation. President buhari unable to finish, osibanjo finishing his tenure, SS and SE happy with osibanjo and vow to secede if he is not re-elected. The SW also clamour for his reelection. Now history about to repeat itself.

Osibanjo to maintain peace and his agreement with the oil producing region, has to pick an IGBO VP .

So we have Osibanjo+SS+SE+SW+MB+A looking good Nigeria VS an Angry north.

So the question arises, can we from the SS and SE trust the yoruba not to chicken out when we through our weight behind osibanjo?

Good point. Now, when the north speaks with one voice against osibanjo, and no northerner will agree to be VP to him, what happens?

The north is asking him to step aside, the rest of the country is asking him to continue.

Finally the u see the bigger picture. SE threatening to break out with SS, Yorubas threatening to break out, only the North fighting to be president of one Nigeria. What happens in this scenario?

As it is today, the south is calling for restructuring while the north is against. We will eventually get to that boiling point.

I really wonder how IPOB can blackmail the Nigerian FG into releasing Kanu with threats of civil unrest or economic sabotage. Even the Avengers who tried blowing up pipelines to gain attention last year eventually saw the light. Nnamdi kanu is no special Nigerian, therefore he must pass throught the criminal justice system just like any other accused person. The govt cannot be arm twisted into releasing him

This is bigger than Nnamdi Kanu. This is bigger than IPOB. This is the bigger picture of where Nigeria is headed come 2019.

Who else is talking restructuring in Nigeria if not the south. Nnamdi kanus case is peanut. Even the almighty United state trade prisoners in exchange of their own. So Kanus case is insignificant, as soon as he decides to see things from osibanjo point of view.

I am not talking about now but 2019. Before then he has gained trust of the regions, When Nigerians ask him to continue and the Northerners in APC ask him to step aside, claiming zoning agreement .

Has he been tried in the criminal court system like any other person?

If he was any other person making noise, he would have been already buried in an unmarked grave. Tell yourself the truth....

If you will just stop being economical with the truth. Let me remind you that it's only a person/institution of integrity that gets blackmailed or arm-twisted. Nigeria lacks this

Secondly, Mr. What specifically is Kanu's crime? Why hasn't his case done with all this while?

Kanu is just a mouth-piece of reality and destiny- Nigeria MUST be re-structured or it breaks. As long as we remain alive this day will come, that's the simple truth of things. That's the reality Nigeria has a date with

What is this notion that the Niger Delta issue can't be solved without Kanu? Also, no one in their right mind would think releasing Kanu would bring any type of peace to Nigeria. Even the most politically inept politician knows this.

The North knows that they're parasites hence their refusals for restructuring. They used military might to create more states for themselves for systematic looting and allocation of funds. All the states in the North are barren.

Yorubas will not taste power until an Igbo man has ruled.

If Yorubas by commission or omission , rule before Igbos, Nigeria will cease to exist. kiss


Mekaboy take note

Osibanjo rule ends 2019 and he will return back to the pulpit or become a VP to another Northerner who will rule for 8years and handover to an Igbo man if he wants Biafra to be forgotten.

So Osibanjo will never exceed the post of a VP until Yoruba turn which is 32years after 2023. cool

Igbo 2023-2031
North 2031-2039
SS 2039-2047
North 2047-2055
Yoruba 2055-2063

Other ppl's son(s) cud be held in various prisons illegally and yorubas will dance all over the cyberspace,making jests of other tribes
