Empire Wars in Nigeria.

In 1981 at his place at Oyo , the Alaafin said that his tenure will conclude what the 1840 defeat of the Jihadist started but was interrupted by the British colonialism. That his tenure as Alaafin will " roll the carpet of the Fulani back to where Usman Dan Fodio came from " 

That the Fulani will become poltically irrelevant and spent as a force in the affairs of Nigeria by the time his tenure ends. That his commision as Allston  is to free Yoruba people and their SOUTHERN COUSINS from the tyranny of the Fulani Jihadists.   

Alaafin of Oyo

In 1998 just after Abiola died , the news papers reported what Alaafin said on hearing the news of the transition of his Aare ona Kakanfo MKO Abiola. He praised Abiola courage and gallantry. That " ise ti mo ran , o ti je" ( He accomplished the task I gave him). Then Alaafin unleashed incantations, ogede,  and ofo against those who were responsible for his death and it's location. He said he was glad that Abiola died lo ke Oya ( in the North ). That we should sit back and watch the utter desolation , violence , and blood letting that will be a cyclical pattern of the location and perpetrators. ( This was pre Boko haram ). 

Usman dan Fodio

He said: 

 

" Aki pa Aare .

Nitori eni pa aare ki pojo,  

Eni pa aare ki posu 

Eni pa aare ki kadun "

Meaning: It's a taboo to kill the Aare , for the consequences are unspeakably terrible .

That Radarada, rederede,  pajawiri,  Idagiri,  tembelekun,  ote,  ajakale aarun ati ogun ni o ma de ba ile ti aare ku si. 

Aare M.K.O. Abiola

We are witnessing all the Alaafin asserted. In 1981, he said, "When I speak ( as Alaafin) I speak with authority and finality." 

It was then in 1981, when Shagari was president thst he said the next elected President of Nigeria will be a Yoruba man. I thought it would be Awolowo.  But it turned out to be Abiola ,but OBJ actualized it. 

Things are deep, very deep in Nigeria.
