I just had to COPY this write up

COPIED! COPIED!! COPIED!!!

Before you come here with your stillborn comments that are not conceived out of proper thought through analysis, before you come here to say I am mocking the Yorubas you better stop and think first.

When it rains it does not pour on Yorubas roof alone it pours on my roof too I live in Lagos, I was born in Lagos but I am from Cross River state.

What is happening in Lagos cuts across board and affects all and sundry as Lagos is like a melting pot, a salad bar with all sorts mixed in the bowl.

My issue now is we should take into cognisance that anything that affects Lagos also affects other Yoruba states and I am asking where are all those Yoruba elders that came out talking, vituperating, throwing incendiary diatribes at the last dispensation and insulting a good man but have now allowed their gum-like dirty tongues to be stuck under the roof of their mouths? All of a sudden they have gone deaf not wanting to hear, blind not wanting to see and dumb not wanting to speak.

Where is OBJ to come and send 49 page open letter to Buhari?

Where is Wole Soyinka to come and speak his turenchi that most do not understand at least to condemn this madness?

Where is Elder Akande to come and define the real kindergarten government to Nigerians?

Where is Oba Akiolu the chain wearing and bracelet adorned fanciful Oba of Lagos to come and open the Lagoon to drown the strange bastards that are not only ravaging their lands but also decimating his subjects?

Where is Tinubu that after being high on whatever that is, that he takes that makes him be flying like a kite and wielding the dirty broom screaming change, we are taking over, we are going to rebuild Nigeria back and regain her lost glory?

Where are all the sad elders and leaders of the Oduduwas that Tinubu even confirmed were stupid and useless I am quoting Tinubu o! I mean where are they to come and talk to the senile old dictator that they foisted on us that is now killing them?

Where is Aregbe rascal the nitwit of Osun state that dances on top of the car like the street urchin that he is promising and screaming that baba is the messiah. I mean the Alfa of Osun state?

Where is Ajimobi that said without Buhari the Yoruba nation would disintegrate? Hmmm! What an irony?

Where are the men of the fourth estate I mean the Yoruba journalists that specilaise in propaganda, falsehood and lies?

Where is the columnist called Egbon Tunde Fagbenro? This man wrote all sorts of crap about GEJ that if you did not know what GEJ had ever done for this country you would just die.

Where is that other elderly man Sobowale another cloumnist with Punch that would nearly give us paralysis with his analysis about how bad GEJ's government was?

Where is the fake pastor from hell Tunde Bakare that praised Buhari to high heavens that singlehandedly organised occupy Nigeria? I thought this man was a spokesperson for the Yoruba cause? What has happened to him that he should come and talk against his brothers and sisters being killed in their homes?

Now, that Buhari is killing them and calling them bastards where are these people to come and face him?

Falae was kidnapped, tortured and ransom paid for his freedom these people were senile, deaf and dumb.

Kwankwaso told the Yorubas to "SHUT UP" and dared them. Till now mum is still the word apart from FFK picking the narratives as usual.

Now, the Yorubas are being killed in their homes in two days 15 innocent humans killed, millions of properties destroyed, belongings stolen and some burnt to ashes. I am still till this second waiting to hear from these elders. This silence from them is so deafening o!

Do you know how incensed I am that the Yorubas are being killed and their properties damaged in their own land?

I make no bones about it I hate what the Gambaris are doing, I hate it when the lowest of humans now think they are the highest and can do as they like and yet they have no prove of that elevated status.

So, these elders are indeed, all users that would come out to use their people to win elections but when issues arise they dump them like some piece of used rags. Smh!

I am just wondering why the conspiracy of silence and deafness in the land?

Why is the Yoruba press not blowing this anomaly and misdemeanour open?

Why just shrug and move on and tomorrow they would go to Church and give thanks with three songs that it was not them nor a member of their family that was killed or burnt?

GHANA GOVERNMENT BANS NIGERIAN GOODS

Ghana, Niigeria’s largest trading partner in West Africa, has placed a ban on the importation of goods such as crude oil, cement and pharmaceuticals from Nigeria and other countries.

Ghanaian authorities are laying claim to unfair trade practices between both countries as the underlying factor for its decision. However, Ghana’s decision to place a ban on goods from Nigeria appears to be a retaliation for its inclusion in Nigeria’s “Import Prohibition list” as part of the measures to restrict foreign exchange and manage the country’s reserves.

With Nigeria still trying to deal with the fast-dwindling value of the Naira, struggling to find buyers for its chief export – crude oil and cocoa, among other farm produce – it appears Ghana has discovered how vulnerable Nigeria has become and this recent importation ban could lead to more woes for the West African sub-region at large.

Here is what the importation ban could mean for West Africa:

A decline in Nigeria’s foreign trade

Ghana remains Nigeria’s largest trade partner in the West African sub-region as the country imports the largest share of all Nigerian oil exports in West Africa. The prohibition of these goods is bound to affect the Nigerian economy which had enjoyed robust foreign trade with Ghana before now.

Nigeria accounts for about 10 percent of Ghana’s foreign trade volume while Ghana is Nigeria’s ninth largest trading partner, importing the largest share of all the country’s oil exports. Companies like Dangote will also experience low earnings following Ghana’s new decision.

Old alliances are fading away

Ghana-Nigeria relations have undoubtedly gone through many twists and turns. As the two largest economies in West Africa, the relationship between Nigeria and Ghana remains crucial for the region but this latest development could mean the alliance is gradually deteriorating.

Since the discovery of oil by Kosmos Energy in 2007, Ghana has mapped out plans to harness its natural resources. Presently, Ghana boasts of 25 new oil discoveries within its offshore maritime boundary and is expected to produce 250 million metric standard cubic feet of gas per day and above 190,000 barrels of oil per day in the next five years. This signals a reduction in its large dependence on Nigerian crude oil.

The Ghanaian government has every reason to be self-reliant as it is mapping out strategies to utilise its natural resources and compete with Nigeria in the global market. Furthermore, Kate Quartey-Papafio, CEO of Reroy Cables, noted that making export difficult for Nigeria will enable Ghana find common ground.

A weakened regional economic community

Currently, Ghana and Nigeria are said to account for about 68 percent of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region’s Gross Domestic Product. This hostile relationship undermines trade growth and poses a threat to regional integration.

Given the economic and political importance of Ghana and Nigeria to the economic growth and development of West-Africa, simplifying trading procedures at the border and registration requirement for products to meet national standards through thorough reviews of existing laws and taxes in member states remains crucial.
