  • CONVERSATION WITH TOLA ADENIYI PART 1
    TOPIC: THE FULANI QUESTION
    A study in the United States entitled “Failed State 2030: Nigeria, A Case Study,” describes how a failed Nigeria may impact the United States and the global economy. The report looks at Nigeria’s more than 350 ethnic groups, 250 languages, and three distinct religious affiliations - Christian, Islamic, and animist, Nigeria’s 36 states, Nigeria’s 12 Islamic states under the strong influence of the Sokoto caliphate and concludes: “With such demographics, Nigeria's failure would be akin to a piece of fine china dropped on a tile floor - it would simply shatter into potentially hundreds of pieces.” The bottom line is that countries like the United States are preparing for the worst scenario, if Nigeria failed to transform its systems.
    In this conversation Chief Tola Adeniyi interprets the antecedent of the Fulani, using it to explain the crisis of the Nigerian state. He calls on the Fulani to have a rethink or Nigeria will fail.
    Chief Adeniyi has seen the best of journalism and has also experienced events that make journalists targets of the state. His sarcastic writings provoked the military to go after him, causing him to leave the country when his life was threatened. He was locked up in a guard room in 1974 for the article “Soldiers, Stones and Sanity”.
    He is renowned journalist. He was Chairman and Managing Director of Daily Times of Nigeria, at the time, Africa’s largest newspaper. In 1974 at Daily Times, he became Africa’s first newspaper Ombudsman.
    He acted as Editor-in-chief of the Tribune. He worked with America’s Atlanta Inquirer, Britain’s Lancashire Evening Post, and Canada’s Toronto Star. He studied English with Drama as subsidiary at the University of Ibadan where he founded the University of Ibadan Writers Club in 1967.
    He holds a master degree from Lancaster University, Britain.

    Professor Adeniyi - God bless you for educating Nigerians. Thanks to Mazi Nnandi Kalu and IPOB for exposing the evil plans of the Janjaweed. Nigerians are now aware and alert and ready for anything.

    So this Yoruba Man knows all this plans from the Fulanis and he refused to tell the yorubas to call for Oduduwa republic just as biafrans are fighting for their freedom ?
    Yorubas should pull out from the Fulanis government now and fight for their Oduduwa republic .
    Because if Biafra go , Oduduwa go , Fulani will not succeed in their plan .
    Division is the solution to this before it will be too late .

      @Blessed Bae you're right . When you look at it you know that Nigeria has no government what they have is organisation of people .
      Since they have their independent of organisation nothing is working till today . If we take it easy to separate they will sell everybody .
      Let them divide before it will be too late . A country where civilians are carrying guns killing people and no body question them because they have people in power ?
      If they arrest them , after they shown them to the world that they apprehended terrorist the following day they will release them is that a country ?
      Now that things are getting out of hand Yoruba should declear their Oduduwa republic like biafrans let see the power of those people that said they are the owner of the country .

      You need to understand that the people of Yoruba/ k’aaro o ji ire bi/Odudu iwa are very kind and accommodating until you started to show them your true colour. We are very, very slow to anger, not impulsive and long suffering. But when we change our mind. That is it. Our challenge is those saboteurs and traitors among us (Afonjas). The bad actors who are desperate for power, financial gains and fame, just like in other ethnic groups within the space called NigerArea. They will do anything to sell the future of their people for tokens. Those are the Yoruba problems. In the past we want to have Nigeria as a country together, but we have now realized that it’s a futile attempt for 60 years now. Wasted opportunity. The last thing a nation wants is to share borders with people who don’t have the same aspirations like you. Sad though, that it has to come to this.
