A united minority is more formidable than a divided majority

A united minority is more formidable than a divided majority.
When talks are given about those presidential aides, particularly in the media office of President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, who made the administration rock with vibes that were based on facts, one person among them who would not be forgotten in a hurry is Lauretta Onochie. The Ada Anioma, as a very close ally to the Wife of the President, He Excellency Hajia Aisha Buhari, at the time, Onochie was one of the national women wing coordinators of the campaign organisation with which the likes of Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai made the current man in Aso Rock, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President. She pushed a contributed post via her verified Facebook social media network on Sunday March 16, 2025, which should strike the heart for people of wisdom, who appreciate values and use of language. The loaded message, “A united minority is more formidable than a divided majority”, the former Chairman Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) explains. Excerpts:
What’s the LESSON in this story?
Akara and Akamu or pap was a meal served for breakfast every morning in a hostel with a capacity of 100 people.
Out of those 100 people, 80 complained every day saying that different meals should be served instead. 20 people were happy to eat Akara and Pap.
The hostel’s warden proposed a daily vote as some decisions had to be reached in this chaotic situation. According to his plan, whichever team got the most votes on the night before, that would determine what would be served the next day.
20 students who wanted Akara and Pap cast their votes accordingly. The remaining 80 people cast their votes too. The tally was as follows:
20 – Akara and Akamu (Pap)
18 – Tea and bread 🥪🍞
16 – Egg Sauce & yam
14 – Jollof rice
12 – Spaghetti 🍝
10 – Indomie
10 – moimoi & pap
Akara and Pap got the highest number of votes every evening, again and again. The same was served the following morning.
LESSON:
As long as 80% or majority of the population is stiff, selfish, divided, and egocentric, and bias, the 20% who constitute a minority will continue to rule and exploit the majority because they stand together.
Think.
THERE IS POWER IN UNITY BUT NOT IN NUMBERS
A united minority is more formidable than a divided majority
