OpEd: Obj's Letter, Religion and Conflict By Richard Odusanya | Sahara Reporters

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, once described Olusegun Obasanjo, as a ‘hypocrite’ who has crossed the red line several times. Mr Obasanjo is “one of the greatest hypocritical leaders this nation ever had”. Mr Koiki Kolawole added his voice when he took the microphone and dropped a bomb: “If Obasanjo was not born, Nigeria would have been a better place.” I believe many people’s blood curdled as my own blood did on hearing such a statement being made by a mortal, an elder, to a public audience.

So it is an insult to say/infer that those people do not matter and that it is the relics of slavery and colonisation that would determine how we see and govern ourself. I think, unapologetically, that we should hold the Christians and Muslims responsible for the decadence in the country and bar them from holding office in Nigeria for some time, if we want to apply reason and level of achievement.

Query: Kogi Govt Rejects Ohinoyi's Response Over Illegal TitleBut, a new letter dated Monday, January 16, 2023 by the State government and personally signed by the State's Commissioner for Local Government and No condition/position is permanent. I really don't blame any political office holders, embarrassing traditional leaders. Because, they already enmeshed themselves, in what they ought not to have. A traditional leader is supposed to be like small god in their community. They must command utmost respect. This is like UK prime minister sending letter to the royal king of England. Nigeria who did this to us? Youth for that matter
