Download or read book Reflections On Yoruba Nationalism written by Adeyinka Shoyemi and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings and speeches of Adeyinka Grandson revolve around the volatile history of the Ibo, Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba generated by politics and not race or ethnicity. The Yoruba nationalism has never been about ethnic cleansing or racial divide, but about creating a fair, just and proportionate system of political rule which benefits all those who resides within the border of Nigeria, regardless of ethnicity. Adeyinka Grandson posted videos and written articles on various social media platforms. In posting such material, he does not intend to stir up racial hatred. Furthermore, he does not accept that racial hatred was likely to be stirred up as a consequence of his posts. Adeyinka Grandson is a Yoruba nationalist who belongs to the Yoruba ethnic group. He had two grandfathers. The first was an Akoko-Yoruba, and the second was a Remo-Yoruba. He, likewise had two grandmothers. The first one was Ondo-Yoruba and the other one was Ijebu-Yoruba. These four grandparents jointly produced the parents of Adeyinka Grandson. He, consequently, has Yoruba bloodlines from Akoko, Remo, Ondo, and Ijebu respectively. But does not accept that the history of disharmony among the Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani and Ibo people is rooted in racial hatred or ethnicity. The divided and sometimes violent history was a direct consequence of the English's colonialism in Nigeria, and the subsequent pursuit of power and wealth amongst the Yoruba, Fulani and Ibo people. The Yoruba people have been the victims rather than the beneficiaries of Nigeria's political dysfunction for many years. The motivation for the writings and speeches of Adeyinka Grandson was to raise awareness of what he considers to be the marginalization and abuse of the Yoruba people who are in Nigeria, to educate and empower the Yoruba people, to ensure that they pursue a fair and even distribution of land and resources. At all times, his actions were designed and intended to generate discussion, organized resistance and affirmative political action with the ultimate objective of reclaiming Yorubaland out of Nigeria and into the Oduduwa Republic. Alternatively, campaign for a return to the parliamentary system of government as agreed by the Yoruba, Ibo, and Hausa/Fulani communities before Nigeria's independence in 1960. He has sometimes advocated recourse to self-defense, the defense of property and organized resistance. Any reference to violence was rooted in politics as opposed to race or ethnicity and was neither designed nor intended to stoke racial hatred. Over the past 20 years, Adeyinka Grandson has written extensively on the history and relations between the Ibo, Fulani and Yoruba communities in Nigeria. These texts have been both academic and political. In 1999, and while still a university student, he and others formed the Cheated Generation Group. The aim of the movement was to promote a return to a parliamentary system of government in Nigeria or to create the Oduduwa Republic. It intended to inform policymaking and support community groups and individuals to influence decision making in local communities. In 2012, the movement, renamed themselves the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF), as they have evolved into a conservative movement, providing education and an understanding of liberty, individual freedom, strong national defense, free enterprise, and self preservation to ensure that increasing numbers of young Yoruba understand and are inspired by these ideas. The current unitary presidential system in Nigeria takes resources and revenue from Yorubaland, and disproportionately uses it to fund the economic growth and development of the Hausa/Fulani and Ibo regions. The ultimate objective of the YYF is to campaign for the liberation of Yorubaland and form an independent Oduduwa Republic in the absence of a return to the regional system of government in Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Democracy in Nigeria - Thoughts and Selected Commentaries" consists of a series of essays which address a variety of issues bordering on good governance and the stability of the Nigerian state. While the author is optimistic about the future of his nation and proposes measures that can drive its democracy forward, he is unhappy that corruption, in particular, has impeded progress in an otherwise vibrant nation. He believes that proper education and a realistic federal arrangement provide the solution to religious intolerance and all the ills that are associated with it, while a more proactive population can actually tame the monster of corruption if they are genuinely worried that corruption has been responsible for their individual and collective plights.

Most of the problems and issues treated in the publication deal with governance procedures in a leading economy in Africa. Nigeria is an influential nation, regarded as the engine of the economy of West-Africa, a motivator of the African Union, the largest black nation in the world, a catalyst of the African Renaissance; harbouring about 25 percent of the population of Africa; and the largest market for foreign investors in the continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BOOK DESCRIPTION As far back as the Guardian of Tuesday July 16, 2013 page 11, Isaac Taiwo had reported that, 'former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, has expressed worry and fear over the state of the Nigerian nation. To him, the country is facing crisis "while our leaders and elites are living in denial of those facts"'. This presupposes that the way forward is not denial but facing up to the problems so as to fix them. The state of the Nigerian nation, truth be told, is troubling but the good news is that it is not beyond repairs. This is because, fortunately for us, Nigeria's problems are man-made and can therefore be undone by man, in this case, Nigerians - me and you. The 200 sound bites contained in this book are nuggets, questions and observations I made and updated over an extended period which are still pertinent and can be framed for debates to get more insightful outlooks. Soundbite number 43 made this reference to its inspiration, quote: "This nugget was informed by the write up of a popular newspaper columnist with a popular Nigerian newspaper who referred to (then) Vice President Namadi Sambo as a northern politician, "who refused to provide a rallying point for an agitated north". The columnist found himself on the wrong foot when I reached out to him and asked him "what ails the northern part of Nigeria that doesn't ail the south and why Vice President Namadi Sambo should provide a rallying point for an agitated north instead of providing a rallying point for an agitated nation?" They are arranged in chapters according to the issues they address in politics and society. The chapter titles which represent positive expectations are 1. Integrity in Leadership 2. Leadership Excellence 3. Institutional Integrity 4. Quality Citizenship 5. Embrace Positive 6. Right Orientation 7. Common Sense Issues 8. Economic Matters, and 9. The Nigeria of my Dream. The book identifies poor leadership, positive values deficiency, wrong orientation, greed, sentiments, impunity and most especially official corruption and indiscipline among the leadership and the led - with the leadership getting most of the knocks - as the cause of most of our woes. This is against the notion in some quarters (which are reasonable arguments in their own rights) that Nigeria's problem is its governance structure and that if we go back to regional arrangements, fiscal federalism, parliamentary system of government and a cocktail of other prescriptions, Nigeria will be restored. In spite of the system we have or the one we choose to adopt, I am convinced that strict adherence to rules, regulations and discipline is non-negotiable and will always be the way forward. My views presented here are based on common sense. A government, whether parliamentary or presidential should enforce its laws and uphold discipline. I also believe that if we imbibe the virtues of Section 23 of the 1999 constitution as amended which states that, "The national ethics shall be Discipline, Integrity, Dignity of Labor, Social Justice, Religious Tolerance, Self-reliance and Patriotism", we will turn the corner. GRAB A COPY, Relax, read, comprehend and act right. God bless Nigeria, Long live Africa!
