There’s this gist about a guy who had a pint too many. In his drunken state, he wanted to take a leak.
Our guy was decent enough to look for the bathrooms. Unfortunately for him, the bathrooms were two.
On the wall separating the two, a sign was posted.
Obinrin – Female
Okunrin – Male
Our friend saw the sign and interpreted it thus, ‘ Obinrin female okunrin, maa le.’
The gist is similar to the state of the Yoruba who are insisting on the decoupling of Nigeria.
In the first instance, the Igbo have proved that they could persevere. The Hausa too will always persevere.
Yoruba!
Mmm…
I can still remember June12, 1993. When my people waited for a week without earning a dime, like the Israelites turned against Moses, they started asking what Abiola was looking for.
Let’s even agree that we’re able to leave Nigeria, of what benefit will it be to the common man? Will it not be a case of replacing national looters with local ones?
Are we prepared economically? Are we not dependent on the Hausa for our agricultural products?
Does it make any sense to run away from a country in which we ought to be equal shareholders?
Let’s spare sometime to think!
