@akinde_seun7@DeeOneAyekooto Your illogical tribal coordinated attacks against the bishops and the very fact that a thinking person will boldly support a failed criminal administration, led by a druggie, electoral thief and a person who cannot account for the quarter of his life. See yourself in a mirror!
Sadly, what extant reality now marks Yoruba politics with, unfairly, in my view, in this present darkness, is predatory opportunism that divides and blocks nationbuilding. I place the blame not so much on those in power, the causal agents, but on those I call the complicit middle
@adedstv@ARISEtv When you're done, go drink your garri and then sit in one corner to think who doing you. Your deplorable mindset is your greatest enemy!
I enjoyed history in High School and my teacher was one of the best. Venerable GB Daramola who was my history teacher at Loyola and became one of the great school principals of the Southwest was thorough with the checks and balances of the Oyo kingdom and the Oyomesi.
When I tell friends who try to typecast this to an ethnic group that this is far from the ethos of Yoruba politics and the ideas of Omo oluwa abi which Aregbesola proselytizes they wonder about my observation skills. But I think I know a little about the history of the Yorubas
@ayobamideleaina@UtomiPat You people have no limits, right? Teaching a professor of Political Economics, the difference between Parliamentary and Presidential systems.
It has been done so recklessly that old friends no longer talk to each other. It is for me the worst damage APC has done to nationbuilding which requires that all be ‘inside the house pissing out than for some to be outside pissing in’ as LBJ says it. Surely the house smells now
Two books appearing about 7 years ago when my book on the subject, Why Not, was published, came from Harvard and Cambridge profs with similar titles: How Democracies Die; and How Democracy Ends. Steven Levitsky and Ziblatt in the US and David Runciman at Cambridge captured fears
One passion I have had from my time as a 17 year old undergrad has been for nationbuilding . It led me into the vanguard of the struggle against military rule in the 1970s. Democracy was our battle cry. It was natural therefore that I have followed global thought on its travails
@akinde_seun7@DeeOneAyekooto Apart from the dark tribal thinking cap you are wearing, which other thing is your brain, ozuor!More truth will come for the electoral armed robber in the villa, he will not escape the consequences of his evil holding a nation to ransom beginning with the buhari he foisted on us
@adedstv@ARISEtv If BAT is your best, you have a value deficiency syndrome, it's a mental illness, you need to check into the closest rehab now! Shame on you and others like you!
The APCs fear of competing ideas is evident in the incorporation of the judiciary, capture of the Legislature and unleashing of miscreants in social media to insult those they are incapable of engaging in rational public conversation
When John Cardinal Onaiyekan completed High School at Mount St. Michael's Secondary School in Aliade (now Benue State) in 1962, he graduated as the absolute best graduating student in all of the old Northern Region (19 States & the FCT).
Today, he is set upon by hirelings of a man who is more comfortable in the company of #FakeBishops than with the real ones & who cannot say what primary or secondary school he went to.
#HappySunday.
Had the Catholic Bishops’ visit gone differently, Bayo Onanuga’s press release would have read:
"Catholic Bishops Applaud President Tinubu’s Reforms; Pledge Loyalty to Mr. President."
They anticipated lies. Unfortunately for them, they got the hard truth. God bless the CBCN.
@AnewNaija Those APC guys are a bunch of disgrace. They forgot that these Bishops are different from the bishops they hired while campaigning in 2023. Pls Nigerians shd do a b4 and after pic of 2023 bishops vs 2026 Bishops. We need to verify their faces again. Evil party!
Claude Ake, one of the true greats of Pol. Sci to come out of Nigeria pointed to a characteristic of the state in post colonial Africa to place its survival above existential needs of citizens. The current order in Nigeria exemplifies that. Sadly this is why progress has stalled
