I saw a video clip of a group of young Yoruba elites canvassing the creation of Oduduwa Republic. The spokesman claimed that they are not even interested in restructuring, that it is late in the day, but the outright creation of Oduduwa Republic.
It was Albert Einstein who once said,"condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance." Let us look backward and also forward to see why Yorubas have been stumbling in Nigeria and examine the cause; we will be surprised who we would see.The enemy of the Yorubas is the Yoruba and secession will not stop the stumbling because it would only take the theatre to a different space.
Although Chinua Achebe wrongly claimed that the Ibos alone fought for Nigeria's independence in his ill- received, poorly- edited, divisive and tendentious book THERE WAS A COUNTRY, his claim can never stand under proper scrutiny or face authentic history. An Islamic slave labour camp was discovered recently in Ibadan, almost as bad as the ones in the North.
In 2015 it was so and this error of a government was reinforced again by the Yorubas in 2019 across Ekiti, Osun, Ondo and Lagos - where Buhari won.So if Nigeria is becoming a failed state because of Buhari, Yorubas have a hand in it.Asking for Oduduwa Republic now is like that. Are they aware that their own parents and kinsmen are part of those that compounded the problems of Nigeria and made it, in the words of one of the British racist colonist,"a nation where the worst never happens but the best is impossible."All the problems we complain about in Nigeria Yoruba have their own share of them and even more than their own share in their formation, fruition, nurturing and development.
I now address some specific issues of strategy about the proposed Oduduwa Republic for consideration. Some people have a hidden agenda which they don't want to tell us. All they do is to couch their demands under the dubious revival of a glorious past in a supposed Yoruba Republic.It is not. We talk of Awo as if he was a perfect saint.He never saw himself as God, either.One of the men now promoting the Oduduwa Republic from the video footage made some interesting statements.
But these are the list of firsts these Yorubas are touting that they want to recreate the Awo miracle.
