“Govs are pocketing billions of the security votes without doing anything while the president take the blame for their cluelessness. Trust me. The Nationalists will not have their way. They will not and cannot divide the country through their lies. The military will step in incase of any uprising in the West.”
If I were to be the president, I will order the Commissioner of Police for Yoruba States to publish their crime reports at local government level backdated for one year in all the National Dailies then invites Alaafin for meeting at the Villa.
Alaafin open letter is uncalled for and un-diplomatic. Whoever wrote the letter shouldn’t have included Hausa-Fulani in it.
Alaafin should have walk into the Villa to register his displeasure to Mr President without mentioning any tribe responsible for the security lapse in some states in Yoruba land.
Without mincing word, Alaafin danced to the tune of the Nationalists. And it is sad.
It seems we (Yoruba) don’t learn from history or refused to allow history guide us.
Adolf Hitler BLAMED the Jewish tribe for the economic crisis in Germany which made Jews the endangered people and ultimately led to the Second World War.
The unsuspecting Germans fell for Hitler propaganda machine and they paid dearly for it.
In Ghana, General Fred Akuffo and President Hilla Limann BLAMED the Yorubas in Ghana for their economic crisis which ultimately led to the exodus of Yorubas out of the country to Lome, Togo while some moved up North to Ivory Coast.
Fortunately for Ghanaians, Some radical left officers led by JJ Rawlings saw through their leaders lies and did the needful.
Out of respect for Nigeria and Nigerians Rawlings moved their general election slated for October 1st, 1979, which happened to be our independent day a week backward.
Ghanaians enjoyed political and economic stability under the leftist regime of Rawlings and Ghana is the only country out of four colonised by Britain that have not experience civil war or uprising.
In America, Trump BLAMED the Mexicans, Chinese and African America for all the problems in America and we know the result of his lies.
In Britain, Boris Johnson BLAMED the EU citizens for the economic crisis here so he used their trademark to pull the entire country out of the UNION for his selfish interest.
Are we better of now since EU citizens are no more taking their jobs or out of the Union? The answer lies with the Nigerian-British citizens.
In Nigeria, Gov Ortom BLAMED the Fulani herdsmen for the insecurity in his state in order to win the second term in office and Benue unsuspecting voters fell for his lies.
Is there any need to mention those caught for the insecurity?
Now, Gov Rotimi Akeredolu has joined them to blame Fulani herdsmen for his failure and cluelessness in office.
Here is the question:
What is the motive of Aketi for blaming Fulani herdsmen for security problem in Ondo state?
What is Aketi doing with his Security Vote?
Did Alaafin deliberately mentioned Hausa-Fulani in the letter because the Commander in Chief is one?
Why didn’t Sultan of Sokoto mention the tribe responsible for the insecurity in his state?
Are the Yoruba going to miss the opportunity to govern Nigeria again because of Nationalists propaganda?
New African Mag= Mr President (Mandela) Blacks have political power but hold no economic power. White South Africans still dominate the economy.
Mandela: I know Blacks still lives in poverty despite having political power but my job as the President is to roll out programme to alleviate their economic woes.
What has Aketi done to solve the security issues in his state?
A proactive Gov with sense of objectivity and patriotism will liaise with Security Agencies to form security outlet like Ambode/Sanwo-olu did in Lagos to tackle the problems.
Ambode/Sanwo-olu never ever blamed any tribe for security issues in Lagos state so why Aketi?
How many Fulani herdsmen were among the suspects paraded today in Akure? None.
Do Alaafin and Aketi realise we have Rawlings in the Armed Forces who saw through their lies and propaganda?
What happen after “Ghana Must Go” crisis in the 80s? Nigeria turned to London and New York?
Since we blame the president for all the security problems in the country while Govs are blameless, can we then amend the constitution to stop the Security Votes given to the Govs while we give the money to someone else to be in charge of security in each state.
After all, No Gov is in charge of security in any state in America but Mayors.
Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London) is in charge of the security in London and not the PM or any MP.
Govs are pocketing billions of the security votes without doing anything while the president take the blame for their cluelessness.
Trust me. The Nationalists will not have their way. They will not and cannot divide the country through their lies.
The military will step in incase of any uprising in the West.
Diplomacy equates to emotional intelligence. Yorubas are infatuated with Academic intelligence while majority of us have zero emotional intelligence.
The Northerners might not ‘have’ Academic intelligence but their Emotional intelligence is top notch đź‘Ś đź‘Ź đź‘Ť.
Their emotional intelligence gives them the advantage to be ahead politically.
Southerners pride is our downfall and we will fall again if the likes of Aketi are not call to order.
Enough said.
