Like the writer said, the likes of Saraki and other Northern minorities ...: ...are only relevant to inflate the demographic figure in order to sustain the phantom population density of the so-called ’19 northern states’ whenever the north is threatened by the south over issues such as resource control, fiscal federalism or sovereign national conference come up on the national agenda.The Northerners have sowed so much confusion into the minds of minority tribes both up North and down South as a part of their 'divide-and-rule/conquer' political strategy, and this has worked fantastically well. So much so that some 'Northern Yorubas' are fabricating a separate history for themselves in order to fit into a narrative that would be more acceptable to the Hausa-Fulanis; one that links their origins to other Northern tribes than the ile-ife source. But unfortunately for them, the 'core' Northerners would never fully accept them as equals. The same thing has happened to some SS Igbos (especially in Delta and Rivers), where you find some sub-groups who were separated into different states by the FG denying their roots while others within the same subgroup but located on the other side of the border embracing it (it's just like Ekitis in Kwara denying they're Yorubas while those in Ekiti state embrace their Yorubaness -- thankfully it hasn't gotten to that with the Ekitis). But this was all a carefully orchestrated strategy to by the Northerners to maintain their hegemony. |

We have Ekitis in Kwara state. As a matter of fact they have an entire local government (Ekiti Local government) named after them within the state. They are the same Ekiti folks in the current SW Ekiti state but were carved into Kwara by the FG. |

What happened to Dr olusola saraki is about to happen to his son bukola saraki even though he was able to manoeuvre himself to become the senate president. He almost lost out, do you think the core Northerners are happy with him being the senate president instead of Ahmed lawan? Of course they still see him as a yoruba man occupying the post meant for Northerners... Infact the north almost used Tinubu to prevent Saraki from being elected as senate president, if not for the north Central States of kogi, kwara and PDP senators from south east and South South.. And some south west senators like tayo alasoadura and Olanrewaju Tejuosho who happens to be saraki's friend way back from the University.
To be honest, I was glad Saraki won, tinubu needs to change his approach, it's obvious the north won't stop at nothing to dominate others and some individuals will be used as pawns. Yorubas needs to be more aggressive and dominant in approach.. Tinubu has learnt a lot, the Northerners fear south west more than any other geo political zone. .. Even the latest quit notice the Northerners gave to the easterners , he kept quiet, and I liked what he did.. Infact i don't think we will ever gain anything from this Alliance with these people, did you guys read about the lagos-Ibadan express way which budget was reduced from N31 billion to N10 billion? The special status for lagos state?
Only weak minded yorubas still share impression that the Northerners love yorubas so much.. there are lots of things going on behind the scenes...
The Yorubas in the north Central needs to embrace their ethnicity the more, we yorubas in the south west needs to integrate them politically without them having to leave the north Central.. We need to agree on national issues, they need to support policies that will favor south west in the NASS likewise southwest representatives doing same.
The Yorubas in the north Central can become a spoiler for the Northern hegemony..
Believe me the core north is nothing without the active connivance of their minorities

Yorubas needs to be wary of these Northerners the more.. we are trying to hide all these things and pretend all is well because of the potopoto people..
We should be at the forefront, agitating for secession or restructuring.. we shouldn't be issuing press statements supporting unity of this country.
The only time our leaders talk about restructuring is doing June 12 anniversary.. We need to be more vocal about this thing.. I will always prefer yoruba politicians during the time of awolowo.. they were more pro yoruba to some extent.. Look at lagos, we have allowed too much incursion from the potopoto people to the extent some of them are even asking us to list industries own in our land just because of their brothers that owns 2*2 shops here.. Look at lagos PDP and APC, have sacrificed yoruba nationality for party elections... Igbos are representing lagos in Abuja.. chai.. All these things won't have happened during the awolowo era.. our sophistication jst dey too much
All these sarakis, lai Muhammed, bolaji Abdullahi will never be accepted as Northerners no matter how hard they try by looking and dressing like one Mallam Musa

omoolowu , funny thing is, a lot of APC Yorubas are so high on that "Yorubas and Northerners are allies" B.S cos of their hate for potor people lol. I don't give a rat's ass about both. These Northern guys aren't about that. They don't care about rules. The idea is to remain in power regardless hence they would fuck us up when they need to . Yes, voting for Buhari at that point was the right thing to do but it's naive for any Yoruba man to be thinking it's tag team vs potor people. We should always remind ourselves that we didn't vote for Buhari because he's Hausa or whatever. We voted him to fix the country. The earlier Yorubas realized this, the better for them

Osibanjo was away in Addis Ababa for the African Union Summit, so the senate was trying to declare saraki the acting president since he was the third in command. But the move was opposed by a lot of senators. Saraki is also eyeing the presidency come 2019. |

But if they want favours those abokis will tag him fulani and the mumu himself doesn't know which one he belongs to. Ilorin folks brain is just messed up. They are the real definition of confusion. |

That's when Abokis will remind him where he's from lol I don't think Saraki has any illusions about 2019, but chasing after the seat for the rest of Buhari's term until then is still worth his while. Look at it from Saraki's perspective - if his lackeys get to somehow maneuver him into the Presidency, even if just temporarily, he can not only issue them all pardons for every law they've broken in the past, he'll also be able to oversee a looting jamboree that would make even Abacha tip his hat in respect - and dole out yet another round of pardons at the end of it all, if need be ... Saraki is actually greedy and unscrupulous enough to stoop to such a level. |
