HOW SAD FOR
THE YORUBA NATION
FROM A TRUTHFUL YORUBA MAN...
HOW SAD FOR THE YORUBA NATION
Did the Igbos put guns on
anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo and Oshodi in Lagos?
Did they use juju before the
Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them?
And what were we looking at
before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa ?
Where were the YORUBAS when the
Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels in Abuja. Was there a law that
excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building
materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned.
So the more we point one finger
at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness
and lack of initiative as a society.
The YORUBAS should have been
better with all our education, but we may be worse than the Fulanis who just
roam around the bush.
Why? Because we lack the
entrepreneurship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8am to 5pm job. We
proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without sowing
hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious.
We love wasteful parties and
Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually
call musicians to spray money like coffetti .
Where are all the Board Members
of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is
Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose
trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income
gathered for the year?
The Yoruba society wasted their
leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our
capital on frivolous social gatherings.
We took religion to ridicoulous
levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all
the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely
flaunted to show whose God is the most miraculous.
So we have become paupers and
destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for
years.
Tell me, is Osun State filled
with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected
Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring
about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to
reopen Ladoja Akintola University?
Are the Ondos so wise to have
allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months
salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually
arrogant Fayemi?
But the Igbos are hard workers.
Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in
the shop from where they sell goods. There is no place too dirty or remote for
them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see
them buy and take over all shops and lands.
True, some of them are
criminals, but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures
always, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that
they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays.
Then spend Sundays in church wishing and praying for divine miracles.
How foolish! As the Igbo youths
are meeting and strategizing on Sundays, so that they can gather money and buy
the houses and lands owned by our Yoruba fathers, the Yorubas youths are busy
in churches on Sundays praying for miracles.
Whether we like it or not,
Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy
it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished
Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly.
It will happen even in a
declared Oduduwa Republic. Afterall, the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South
Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up
everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we
did not sell it to the Igbos?
We shall continue to grumble
and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and
imbibe their 'can do' attitude.
The Yoruba nation and society
have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to
behave like the Almajiris in the North.
In grinding poverty and out of
jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses.
Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the
Igbos.
Even some of us here will
defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result
of hunger and uselessness of our society.
How sad for the Yoruba Nation.
