TIME FOR YORUBA NATION TO MOVE ON!

 




TIME FOR YORUBA NATION TO MOVE ON!


~  Ifedayo Iyaniwura


Since the marriage called almagamation between the Three Regional groups in Nigeria as failed, it is high time Yoruba Region backed out from the unholy marriage without further delay.


Late Obafemi Awolowo



Before Nigeria Independence in 1960, the British Officials had displayed with impunity favouritism towards the North, hence the need to hand over power to the Northerners. 

Late Tafawa Balewa


Meanwhile, the threat of secession started by the Northerners, which northern delegates to the constitutional conferences held before 1960 had repeatedly used to get more concessions from colonial officials who usually responded as if Nigeria was created by the British for the North.


Benjamin Nnamdi Azikwe



As Yorubas, the Offsprings of Oduduwa, to know where we are heading to, we need to know where we are heading from. This is the time to bury procrastination, and right the wrong of the past.


Awo, Zik, and Balewa



Clearly the emergence of Sir Tafawa Balewa as the Prime Minister indicated that Nigeria entered Independence on a dismal footing, and this is due to the inability of both Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe of the East, and Chief Obafemi Awolowo of the West to stop Sir Robertson's intention of handling over Power to the North. 



The effect of the then power handed over to the North at the expense of the Southerners is what gave birth to the security threat of today, occasioned by the Northern Terrorist, Bandits, Bokoharamist, Fulani herdsmen and now ISIS. The reality of nonchalant of our then leaders has now dawn on all of us.


The Two aforementioned leaders of the Eastern region and the Western region respectively have no excuse for their failure to thwart the Northernisation Agenda of the British Officials before their exit. 



Aside of the fact that, Tafawa Balewa did not possess relevant exposure and requisite intellectual mobility to govern a sophisticated nation as a Prime Minister, based on secular constitutional democracy, the motto for his Political Party, NPC was "One North" "One People," with no single elected member from the south in the House-of-representatives. Yet this never served as an eye opener for our then leaders to know that the so called almagamation will never work. High time to right the wrong!


This message is for the good people of Yoruba Land. Time for the Yoruba Nation to move on without further delay is now.


 Let there be Oduduwa Republic!!!

ILORIN LOOTING, A LEGACY OF BUKOLA SARAKI THE PROFESSIONAL LOOTER.

ILORIN LOOTING, A LEGACY OF BUKOLA SARAKI THE PROFESSIONAL LOOTER.   By Femi Arekujaye It's regrettable that the meaningful and peaceful protest of the youths was hijacked and redirected for destruction and political gains.  This is openly displayed in the commiseration message coming from Dr. Bukola Saraki, the architect of poverty and hunger in kwara state. The loot he carried out in kwara is a million times worse than what we are physically seeing today, he has laid a bad precedent before he was shamelessly chased out in the state by electorate. Its important to note that  Bukola Saraki has been sent to an unreturnable journey of political relegation though his bad legacies still remains. The commiseration message by  Bukola Saraki to his young looters  had really proven how the act of ransacks  brought a mischievous smile to his lips and that is why we will continue to hold him accountable to the people of kwara state: because Bukola Saraki had set a ba...

As Public, It Is High Time We Held Our Officials Accountable And Responsible ~ Ekiti IPAC, Chair

As public, it is high time we Held our Officials Accountable and Responsible ~ Ekiti IPAC, Chair By Francis Abe ~ Concordnews This decision flies in the face of the ethical responsibilities that public officials have to uphold. Using government positions to enrich one’s self is not only unethical, but illegal. And without oversight, corruption and fraud will run amok in our society. Therefore it is imperative for the Public Officials to be held responsible and accountable by the Public. This in a Statement made by the Ekiti State Chairman of Inter-party Advisory Council, Ifedayo Iyaniwura, according to him, "Accountability is one of the central tenets of public service. Government officials are responsible to the public, so when they misuse their power to help enrich themselves and provide friends with special favors, they are not only to be asked questions, but need to face the consequences. And this shall be test-run in Ekiti State, in coming of days. The Statement goes further...
