As I write this post in the heart of Yoruba land, precisely Ado Ekiti, I do so with a smirk on my face. For those who do not know, a smirk is an unpleasant smile that one has on one’s face indicating that one is pleased with oneself and knows what other people do not know.
I am smirking not just at the present monumental discomfiture and supreme humiliation that all Tinubu slaves in Yoruba land must be experiencing but at the speed with which events are bearing out all our clairvoyant predictions about the unravelling of the alliance of hate, tribalism, religious bigotry and deceit between the Tinubu Yorubas and their Buhari slave masters in the North.
Consider this. Chief Olu Falae was kidnapped by Fulani herdsmen from his farm in Akure, RIGHT IN THE HEART OF YORUBA LAND, yesterday.

As I write this, apart from Femi Fani-Kayode and OPC founder and leader, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, no other Yoruba man or woman has condemned this amazingly provocative act of Fulani continuing brigandage.
Please, note that Falae is not an ordinary citizen. A former Secretary to the Federal Government of Ibrahim Babangida between 1985 and 1992, Falae was also the Presidential candidate of the AD/APP alliance for whom all Yorubas rejected Olusegun Obasanjo at the polls in 1999.
Yet, Falae is kidnapped on his farm by those who, now emboldened by the enthronement of their kinsman as President in Abuja, have continued to wreak unprecedented havoc across the country, and Tinubu Yoruba youths, obviously out of a burning sense of SHAME and the fear of offending their Boko Haram slave masters, have been incapable of even a whimper!

Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear!
As I write this, the death toll from Boko Haram’s latest coordinated, multiple bombing of Maiduguri has been conservatively put at 107 with scores injured. Yet neither President Buhari nor any of his kinsmen or women are complaining or condemning themselves as they did to former President Jonathan for even less ferocious Boko Haram attacks.
Fulani herdsmen continue to kill with impunity in the North Central communities of Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa. Now, they brazenly kidnap a prominent citizen far from their own homeland, yet neither the aggressors’ patrons nor their victims are complaining.
Instead, all of them are fixated on the vendetta against Senate President, Bukola Saraki. While the country is being brought to her knees by the most jaw-dropping and blood-curdling ineptitude in her 55-year history as an independent nation, Buhari, the APC and their low IQ supporters are feeding on their petty wars of hatred, political vendetta and dementia.
Pray, is Nigeria cursed? How did this country get here?
For the tribalistic Tinubu Yoruba slaves, the situation be like:
‘Our slave masters are in power in Abuja oooh, so let’s not embarrass them by complaining oooh’.
For those in the North, who bear the brunt of Boko Haram’s continuing holocaust, the situation be like:
‘We are now in power oooh, so even if Boko Haram kills us all off, let’s not embarrass ourselves oooh by complaining oooh’.
And for me, Prophet Garvey, it be like:
O ma se oooh! CHANGE NA NI! CHANGI KE NAN!
