Mr. Kolawole Odetola, whom I do not know and have never met, wrote the following post and every Yoruba man and woman should read it.
It was not written by the flesh but by the Holy Spirit and this is what I have been saying for a few years. He who has ears lets him hear what the Spirit of the Lord says.
I congratulate the author on her courage and urge her to continue sounding the alarm until it is heard in every nook and cranny of the Southwest.
The Yoruba elites will hate him for telling this bitter truth, just as many of them hate those of us who have been speaking it for many years, but the truth is the truth.
Posterity and history will treat us with kindness for having had the courage to speak it despite the contempt and insults that are often poured out on us on a daily basis and to which we are often subjected by those who do not see beyond their noses. , who lack courage and who have decided that their lot is best served by turning a blind eye to this great evil that has assailed us and seeks to destroy us, by being slaves and by selling their people into bondage and slavery perpetual.
I welcome Odetola to the ranks of heroes and thank him for standing at the door and resisting evil like the brave Horatius in Thomas Babington-Macauly’s famous 19th century poem titled “Lays of Ancient Rome”.
Omo Oduduwa, read his words, SPREAD IT, LEARN AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST!
He wrote:
“It is easy for rich and middle-class Yoruba, including radicals living comfortably in big cities, to reject the attempts of poor Yoruba in the countryside to defend themselves from state terrorism (Islamist shepherds) as well as from tribalism. or ethnic jingoism.
But the day these shepherds and fundamentalists take control of Lagos (and one day they will) – the only natural barrier for them; where they can’t “graze the cattle” is the Atlantic Ocean, the penny will drop and the urban elite will wake up from their complacency – but by then it will be too late.
When that day arrives and these “ shepherds ” prevent the educated elite of the Yoruba from partying, from partying, Owambeing prevents them from listening to music, forces their wives to take the hijab, prevents them from connect to the Internet, behead them in public for “ adultery ” and “ fornication ” and hoist the black flag of Islamic fundamentalism on the 3rd bridge of the continent, resistance to the shepherds will no longer be considered as tribalism because they are now the Yoruba lower classes who bear the brunt of the assault of these neo-fascist armed gangs.
Then it will become a fight for “democratic rights”, new revolutionary slogans will be invented, pasdionate speeches will be delivered at international seminars on human rights, NGOs will spring up like mushrooms – But until then, it will be too late.
Now it is the poor Yoruba in the villages who are fighting for their land, their livelihoods and their very lives, a fight that does not concern the Yoruba middle classes as it does not impact their office buildings. brilliant people in Lagos, their access to social media and the glitzy banks where their money resides. It is a tribal, “ethno-nationalist” sectarian struggle.
Ignoring the reality that the greatest danger to democracy in the country today is that fundamentalists in the north call them whatever you like – Boko Haram, ISWAP, shepherds, bandits.
They are different branches springing from the same poisonous root.
They are armed, protected and forgiving by a Nigerian state built by British imperialism around the northern fuedal oligarchy, – the most backward, the most reactionary and one kilometer from the country, the most backward ruling class on the African continent. with a frozen state of mind, like an iceberg, in the 18th century.
What they distribute to peasants in Oyo, Osun and Ogun states will one day be visited by lawyers, doctors and journalists rejecting the “tribal” struggle in the Yoruba countryside. If anyone thinks it is “pasture”, they will soon be disillusioned with that notion.
If you allow armed herders in the Yoruba countryside, what argument would you have to prevent them from settling in Lagos? Isn’t there grass in Lagos? Where does the grass end in Lagos? – The Atlantic Ocean”.
Kolawole Odetola displayed such wisdom, insight, foresight and courage and I could not have said it better myself.
Hope someone is listening before it’s too late.
