PART FIVE

STAY IN THE SHIP AND DO NOTHING...THE DOLOMITE OR THE SILENT SENTINEL SYNDROME OR RUBBER STAMP SOLUTION

Do you see a person whose house is on fires, but keeps sleeping and snoring and even when woken up by concerned neighbours, stutters: Ba frovbrem..how I for do? Muto yamutu...ba CHANJI! Keep sleeping then, Mallam!

AXIS OF PENDULUM OR AXIS OF POLITCIAL PROSTITUTION
POLITICAL PENDULUMS OR POLITICAL PROSTITUTES

These are rootless politicians as found in the Nigerian political class - to them its not politics of conviction and consciencism, but FOOD IS READY POLITICS. They are political scums and sacavengers always rumaging the political bins of the nation. They go for and settle for or get settled with GHANA MUST GO. To them it's not about principles and service-orientated politics, but politics of greed, intense ambitions and personal aggrandizement with the sole aim of looting public treasury having fat bank accounts at home and everywhere that is safe, properties, buying private jets, yatches, marrying many wives and having many concubines all over the place.
They are political contractors who without knowledge of construction are awarded contracts which they sell and resell and resell in a long line of chains until the money is finished, but at the ministry of works and housing you will find such inscriptions as PROJECTS COMPLETED!

ANY PART WITH WINNING WAYS (APWWW)

The NEW PDPers (npdps) are not likely going to put their eggs in one basket. They'd like to go where their bread will be well buttered or their vaunting ambitions will be realized, hence they are not committed to any particular political party. They are a band of boat rockers, spoilers of the worst order, roving birds, birds of the passage, pendulumic old foxes and birds who have lost their rooting abilities - a people to whom honour and integrity are thoroughly offensive.
They are like vicious savanna dogs who revel in purposeless malignity. They believe in BATian Machiavellianism of the worst type. Some politicians have been heard swearing they would rather kiss a very poisonous viper than shaking hands with anyone of them - and the wise elders have counselled that any greedy persons who want to eat with them should have fifty-kilometre-long spoons. Nearly everyone of them is gunning to be President, but it is worth mentioning a few with legendary inordinate ambitions whose self-aggrandizement is unparalleled in modern times. They are:
Turacrush
Saratraitor
Tinusnub
Kwaso who spent the whole of his years as a Governor watching the ceilling to prevent it from caving in on him.

LONA
THE TRIANGULAR OR THE PYRAMIDAL ALLIANCE AND THE MISSED OPPORTUNITIES OR SOUTH - MIDDLE BELT ALLIANCE

GOAL

ALLIANCE TO WHITTLE DOWN AND WEAKEN THE PEPERTUAL DOMINATION OF THE NORTH OVER THE REST OF THE COUNTRY
LINES OF NATURAL ALLIANCE (LONA)
⦁ SOUTH EAST
⦁ SOUTH SOUTH
⦁ SOUTH WEST
⦁ AND THE MIDDLE BELT against the core North.

In previous democratic dispensations, it was Eastern Region and the North against the former Western Region before the politcally motivated creation of or the carving out of the Mid Western Region from it in 1963, primarily to whittle down the powers of Obafemi Awolowo, but by 1965 when the so-called Caliphate North with its Northern People's Congress foolishly penetrated deeper into the heartland of the core Western Region of the Yorubas by forming an Alliance with Samuel Ladoke Akintola and his Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), a situation which exacerbated the in-fighting which had been going on between the Action Group and the NNDP since May of 1962 forcing the Federal Government of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa to declare a state of emergency that year in Western Region lasting six months in which Dr M. A. Majekodunmi, the then Federal Minister of Health was appointed by ATB as Administrator of W.R.

The NNDP-NPC Alliance of 1965 after that year's General Elections led to the second break down of law and order in the West dubbed OPERATION WETIE in which scores of lives were lost. SLA himself was to lose his life thereafter in the first military coup of January 15, 1966, spear-headed arguably by Major Kaduna Nzeogwu.

YORUBAS: ALWAYS THE LOSERS SINCE 1817

It must however be stressed here again as I have continued to do in my dissections of the origin of political and military alliances in Nigeria that in all of the alliances the Yorubas had entered into with the Hausa and Fulani people since the Kakanfo Afonja/Alimi Alliance of 1817 saw the defeat and the halting of the Oyo empire spreading beyond Oyo in which Mallam Shehu Alimi later turned round and killed the Yoruba General, Afonja leading to the Yorubas losing Ilorin to the Sokoto Caliphate, not a single of all the modern alliances the Yorubas have entered into since 1965 has worked beautifully - and in all of the cases from the Hausa/Fulani and the Yoruba Alliance as exemplified in the Afonja/Alimi Alliance, the Yorubas have ALWAYS been the losers and all such alliances have always led to untold violence resulting in the death of thousands with the Yoruba protagonists in such alliances getting killed, and putting it very mildly, getting thoroughly messed up, and in some of the cases they ended up in jail, ended up in being roped in phantom coup/s as in the cases of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida/Ernest Adegunle Oladeinde Shonekan (North/South West) or Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba Diarchy, the Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola /Baba Gana Kingibe Yoruba/Hausa-Fulani Alliance, the Sani Abacha/North (Hausa-Fulani) and the Oladipo Diya/South West or Yoruba Alliance.

However, speaking militarily, the Hausa-Fulani/North and the Yoruba/South West Alliances with Olusegun Obasanjo representing the Yorubas in various dispensations, both military and in a democracy in a way, mark the phrase "in a way" seemed to have managed to work, despite glaring hitches/antagonism/hatred/bruises and a few killings ONLY because the Yorubas as represented by their General son, Olu Obasanjo played the second fiddle in such military alliances, all of the time in order to survive.

But at other times when he stayed outside and decided foolishly and in his characteristic delusions of grandeur and messianic fantancy cum his poisonous letters, the Hausa-Fulani protagonists heading such Governments had either merely frowned/warned him or as in the case of Sani Abacha, the notorious village letter writer was hurled into jail with the then maximum ruler taking away the keys of Olu's very prison cell door, but forgot to throw them into the Lagoon, just as the titular Sardauna of Sokoto, the very arrogant Ahmadu Bello was reputed to have thrown a cop(y)ies of the Koran into the River Niger, so his delusional ONE NORTH would rule Nigeria in perpetuity.
But with the intervention of Providence, Olu's life was spared when the same Providence intervened again on his behalf, following the death of Sani Abacha, agents of the Caliphate led by Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida were able to locate the prison's key and headed there to release him, and like the Biblical Joseph, the same Providence lifted Olu up from prison to become the President of Nigeria for 8 years - even though that release was highly providential, the agents of the Sokoto Caliphate whom God had used to cause the release and eventual accelerated advancement of Olu and entrusted him their political kingdom, bidding him to occupy till they come, handed him a script, which leaving it to the imagination of the reader as to whether that script was just imaginative or actual, when Obasanjo having got the keys to the throne decided to deviate from its spirit for reasons best known only to him, the actual caretakers of the kingdom punished him with Sharia to snub him and his Christian South.
Did not Donaldson Oladipo Diya under the same Sani Abacha suffer the same fate which if not again with the intervention of Providence, DOD representing the Yorubas/South West in the Sani Abacha/North (Hausa-Fulani) Alliance would have been cheaply dispensed with, courtesy of the phantom coup or actual?

Since a major work by me on all of the Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Alliances dating back to 1817 is ongoing and may be published on or before the 100 days in office of the current Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba Alliance as represented by the Arewa religious and ethnic jingoist, Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu representing the Yorubas/South West, I will just here ask my readers to reflect on the eventual fate of such great sons of the Yorubas like Samuel Ladoke Akintola, Adekunle Fajuyi, M. K. O. Abiola, Kudirat Abiola, Muftau Adegoke Babatunde Elegbede, Alfred Ogudegbiyiwa Erewarone (Itsekiri), James Ajibola Idowu Ige,Tunde Idiagbon and how Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe ended.
In the current Alliance, a curious reader may scream out: OLULEKE OSINBAJO is the one representing the Yorubas and not BAT, well generally I'm not given to rudeness as I'm by nature a very gentle person, but this time round, and by the kind permission of my readers worldwide, I'd like to play the boss or the role of a bloody tyrant by telling this my well-meaning reader: KEEP QUIET, I have the floor, for in Leke Dey Boy, haven't the Yorubas, sorry, lest I forget, not the good people of Yoruba land, great children, or should I say, great descendants of the Oduduwa the Great, but the very greedy, or should I say, Ijekuje Bola Adekunle Ahmed Tinubu, therefore, hasn't this very greedy Bola, a child in the hands of infantile indiscretion and radicalism, thoroughly suffering accute, no, incurable delusions of grandeur given the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, a mere omo odo (house boy) who will be doing boi-boi in the current Alliance and saying SAAAH-MAAA to the principal actors of the House of Uthman Dan Fodio, I mean the PRINCES OF THE NORTH?
