Yoruba Are the Ones Targeting Tinubu Not Ndigbo

No one can contest the FACT that all Nigerians are participating in endsars.

In fact, few Igbos would participate because they would be minding their businesses. 

Tinubu is more revered and viewed with awe by non-Yoruba, even Igbo, than by Yoruba themselves. 

In fact, many Yoruba hate any insinuation that he is their national leader or that he compares to Awolowo in any way. 

In fact, many Yoruba view him as the worst example of Yoruba leadership. 

Who forgets Yoruba outrage that Tinubu did not bow in the presence of the Ooni? 

Many Yoruba call him thiefnubu or jagabandit, (ask maiyegun) for his percentage control of Lagos tax receipts. 

Who has forgotten the letter showing him transferring billions to an account, an exhibit in a law suit.

Fact is many blame him for the financing and selling Buhari to Nigerians. 

Have some Yoruba forgiven him for the treatment meted out to Ambode? 

Many blame him and his godson sanmulu, the governor of Lagos for not using their connections and power to stop the soldiers from shooting Nigerians at the toll gate. 

The assets being set ablaze are Tinubu’s personal assets and holdings, not Yoruba assets, his properties are targets of Yoruba anger. 

Yoruba are no different than Igbo who have heaped opprobrium on their leaders, if you like go and ask Ohanaeze and Igbo governors and senators about how they have been bastardized by IPOB. 

Many Yoruba now forget that Fulani herdsmen allegedly kidnapped and released Falea, the forget Pa Adesarati’s kidnapped and killed daughter, the forget that Amotekun was created to tackle insecurity mostly from Fulani herdsmen. 

The forget the many bloody clashes between Yoruba and Hausa communities that always end with signature bonfires of trailers and communities. 

The IPOB leader has never hidden his contempt for one Nigeria and he has disclosed his intent to destroy Nigeria, but so also Adeyinka Grandson and a laundry list of Oduduwa groups. 

Endsars was not sponsored or financed by Igbo but by Nigerians from across the globe with ALL NIGERIAN youth as foot soldiers. 

Igbo soldiers did not shoot protesters at the Lekki tollgate, in all likelihood some Igbo were amongst the casualties. 

Any of the victims’ families could have attacked Tinubu’s, not Yoruba, assets from a misplaced belief he gave the order or was complicit in the massacre at the toll gate. 

If it is any consolation, the east is suffering cases of arson with the youth setting properties ablaze. 

Don’t fall or succumb to any divide and rule tactics. 

And by Shango stop blaming Igbos for your problems with Tinubu or even the Oba of Lagos and again if it is any consolation Kanu is currently calling for the apprehension of Igbo leaders right now.
