NEGROCENTRISM
Hello ijebuman, I read your posting with appreciation for your apt prognosis of what could be the aftermath of a moribund Nigeria. I agree with all you have opined without any iota of doubt. But my staunch and unflinching position is that the time is ripe for the yorubas to determine their political and economic lives without unceremonious interference from regions hitherto constituting Nigeria. Nigeria is a failed contraption foisted upon the yoruba nation by the british intruders who supervened our traditional ways of life and left us inimically stuck to an unholy union called nigeria. But without repeating your analysis of the nigerian anatomy, I would like to substantiate my clamour for a yoruba nation .
The continued existence of the yorubas in the unholy nigerian union keeps thwarting the yoruba nation into stymied situations rather than do them any good. It's really bemusing that we cant use our resources both human and mineral to improve our lives except with the approval of nigerians in accordance with specious nigerian constitution. continued membership to the nigerian federation continues to stifle the initiatives of yorubas as the praxis of things in the nigerian federation prohibits autonomy. The end product of this risible system sends yoruba intellectuals, academics, youths etc into the scrimmage of seeking for forage in other nations as there are no opportunities for them back home, thereby becoming economic refugees. The poverty level keeps raising geometrically for those back home. The nigerian political cum economic stucture is blameworthy for this palpably seamy situation. Had we been granted autonomy we would have carved our means of generating revenues for ourselves rather than let our lives be contingent upon incomes which are sourced from other regions {south-south, south-east etc}. We would have built a viable economy for ourselves with the glut of capable human resources we have which would have harnessed other non-human resources we have at our disposal for the amelioration of our living standards. One incontrovertible fact is that a great deal of yorubas are tardy about building a sovereign yoruba nation as they still think it to be a self-defeating idea to sever from nigeria. they wrongly think are soils are barren and that only cocoa would be our mainstay {lol}. This is one puerile thought that the yourbas must be divested of. They must be enlightend on the fact that a severance from nigeria would be for us most propituous than any other region seeking secession from nigeria. This is one thing the oodua people congress should have expended its time and resources on rather than embark upon empty violence putting several innocent lives to death. We need a movement to imbue in the minds of the yoruba people the merits of self-determination I cant wait to see a correction being made to the British's 45 year old mistake. I cant wait to see an oduduwa republic. I cant wait to see hunger become history in the yoruba nation. I cant wait to see yorubas come together as one, those at home an those in the diaspora, including our siblings in cuba, trinidad and tobago, brazil and the usa come back home. I cant wait to the the yorubas in togo, serria leone, and benin republic live together in harmony with one yoruba philosophy. This should not be dismissed as a reflection of a Yoruba Supremacist thinker, rather it should be seen as the veritable truth considering the fact that the yorubas are not just an African tribe, but a substantive Nation.
