It is left for the Yoruba to be foolish or wise. Obasanjo packed his Govt with Igbo and Hausa in the most strategic positions : Chief of Staff, Defence Minister, CBN Governor, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Defence, Chief of Army Staff, Director of NDA, GOCs of 4 Divisions, EFCC Chairman, Finance Minister and National Security Adviser plus DSS Director._*”
“*_He chose Igbos because he is Igbo and Fulani because he is their agent._*”
“*_Jonathan picked Igbos because he had Igbo blood, he picked some Fulani because he was their agent and Ijaw because his father is Ijaw._*”
“*_This is the first time since 1960 that Yoruba has a chance at the National level. In terms of fairness, Tinubu is still better than others afterall Yoruba has the highest population in Nigeria and the most educated and also pays the highest taxes apart from providing the technical knowledge the country needs._*”
“*_The positions being occupied by Yoruba today were never tasted by Yoruba in the past 20, 25 to 40 years._*”
“*_Akinrinade was the last Chief of Army Staff of Yoruba extraction. That was in the late 1980s. Yoruba never in history produced Comptroller General of Customs._*”
“*_Last time Yoruba was IG of Police was about 20 years ago same for DG, DSS, about 20 years ago._*”
“*_In the scramble for Nigeria, other ethnic groups are desperate to take their own blocs before the eventual collapse of the country._*”
“*_Buhari was more direct. He did not only create hundreds or thousands of Fulani non state Army, he spread them across all territories across Nigeria. Jonathan is not a fool either. He created Pipeline contract for Tompolo who daily imports dangerous weapons to Nigeria in preparation for war. So how can any one be talking of fairness?_*”
“*IS FAIRNESS ONLY IN YORUBA DICTIONARY?*”
“*_Where was fairness when Nzeowgwu killed Akintola, Ademulegun and others and Ironsi took over the entire civil service filled with Igbo?_*:
“*_Where was fairness when Northern leaders moved all strategic military locations to the North?_*”
“*_If it will take a rascal to do what would benefit Yoruba, let the rascal go ahead…._*”
“*_The current roforofo fight is not for suit and tie Professors who don’t understand the dynamics of power._*”
“*_In the rough battle of. Ajegunle and Mushin, we need street urchins and dregs, not Professor Atioro or Mike Tyson._*”
“*_What Tinubu is doing is correct. That was why the Fulani wanted him dead in their failed October 1 coup which could have been the bloodiest in Nigerian history._*”
“*_We supported MKO Abiola not because he was pro-Yoruba, but we needed him to ease out the military same way Tinubu is needed to bring down the Fulani garrison state._*”
“_*Both Abiola and Tinubu are not Awoists but in critical thinking, we needed then at some point in history._*”
“*_Even if Tinubu decided to balance in fairness, nothing would be fair to Fulani and Igbo until when they control everything in Nigeria and even produce Lagos Governor._*”
“*_Let Obi come in and you will understand the meaning of “fairness” Obi can’t deny he is one of the sponsors of armed IPOB who even have cells in South West._*”
“*_To hell with fairness. It’s that fairness that makes it easy for Igbo to claim Lagos and now says its no man-s land._*”
“*_It is that fairness that makes Hausa claim Alausa in Ikeja is owned by Hausa people and Igbo claim they own Ife…_*”
“*_Fairness my foot !!!_*”
“*_Let advocates of FAIRNESS please go and live in Rome. Though I’m sure Rome is not even a fair territory._*”
“*_The country is fading, the house is burning, advocates of fairness don’t have the faintest idea that you don’t talk of sharing your umbrella with your enemies in the thick of the rain._*”
“*_If people don’t understand what is going on, very soon, they will understand._*”
“*_Only death can stop Tinubu from winning in 2027. Not that we want him to win, but that in the context of the limitations imposed on Yoruba by Nigeria, he is the best option, not Osinbajo, Mr Fairness who spent 8 years as VP but was best known for learning French during his 8 year rule. What is important is to prepare ourselves so that when the country imminently breaks, the progressive forces, not Tinubu will inherit Yoruba Nation._*”
“*_For now, let Tinubu continue with his job_* *_Col Abimbola Sowunmi(rtd)_*”
