Governor Fashola and His ''Apology'' - by Femi Fani Kayode

The deportation of Igbos to Anambra state by the Lagos State Government a few months back was what sparked off all the Igbo/Yoruba bashing that happened online recently, most popular was the piece written by controversial former minister Femi Fani Kayode, which led to him being 'sued' by one prominent Igbo lady..:-). So anyway, yesterday governor Fashola apologized to the igbos for the incident...and FFK doesn't think he should have apologize. Read what he wrote below...
There can be little doubt that the relocation of the 19 igbo destitute from Lagos state a few months ago was a lawful exercise and that it was done in the interest of Lagos state. Consequently I do not believe that Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola ought to have tendered any form of apology whatsoever to the igbo for what he did. The only redeeming factor is the fact that the apology was obviously designed simply to calm frayed nerves and I commend Fashola for that gesture if nothing else. I say this because my understanding is that he apologised NOT for the deportation itself but for ''the misunderstanding that arose from it''. There is a world of difference between the two. I also commend him for admonishing the igbo to develop their own region and to decide whether they are ''igbo before they are Nigerians or Nigerians before they are igbo''. 

This is a fundamental question that I believe that we must all determine in our hearts and minds whether we are of igbo, yoruba, hausa/fulani or ijaw stock or anything else. For the purposes of clarification the debate that has been raging in the land for the last two months, though sparked off by Fashola's relocations, was more about the curious claim that Lagos state was ''no man's land'' which the igbo jointly own with the yoruba and which they had developed, and are indeed still developing, with their money and nothing else. It was that assertion, and not the plight of a handful of igbo destitues, that many of us from west of the River Niger took issue with. Fashola and others have said publicly that it is ''absurd'' and ''insulting'' for anyone to call Lagos state ''no-man's land'' and that is good enough for me. As long as he did not apologise for saying that I have no problem with whatever he may or may not have said about the deportations even though, had I been governor, I would have handled it differently. The truth is that the yoruba way is to apologize not only when you are wrong but also when you are right if you believe that the other party has been badly hurt by your actions. It is a generous and kind disposition which is borne out of the yoruba concept of the ''omoluwabi spirit''- a good heart and a clean spirit that desires, above all else, peace, joy and harmony. Yet to those from outside yorubaland that do not share that disposition, that do not understand that spirit and that cannot even begin to comprehend it, an apology is nothing less than an admission of guilt and wrong- doing and a trophy of triumph to those whom it is offered. It is for this reason that I believe that it was wrong for Fashola to apologise and that it is important for us to consider the long term implications of what he has done. The truth is that in life perception counts for everything. And rightly or wrongly the perception that most people have, particularly amongst the igbo, is that Fashola has indeed apologised for the deportations. This perception is supported by misleading newspaper headlines which were drafted and written by journalists who did not bother to read the text or properly decipher the statement. Whether anyone likes it or not this latest development is viewed as a great triumph for the hardline igbo nationalists and the Governor Peter Obi's of this world who honestly believe that the igbo have some kind of special rights or special status in Lagos and indeed in yorubaland. They say and do things in Lagos and other parts of the west that they dare not do in the north and that they will never allow our people to do in the east. This is because they fear the northerners who have often put them in their place when they cross the line but they have nothing but contempt for us. Fashola has now given those within the igbo community that have this mindset far more legitimacy, strength and confidence. In any case now that dishing out apologies is the order of the day and he has set the precedent, the question has to be asked- will Peter Obi take a cue from that, be a gentleman and apologise for deporting the people of Akwa Ibom from his Anambra state as well? Is Obi that reasonable or charitable? Do those that think like him believe trhat what is good for the goose is good for the gander? I doubt it very much. Again will Fashola apologise to the numerous northerners that he deported from Lagos as well and will he apologise to his yoruba kith and kin from Oyo and Osun for deporting them too? I really do wonder how far this new-found large-heartedness and seasonal expression of regrets will go? Will it be spread everywhere or is it exclusively reserved for the igbo? More importantly, in the spirit of this new rapprochement, will Fashola secretly conceede portions of Lagos state and yorubaland to them as well? Will he take my dear egbon and former cabinet colleague, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe's counsel, and wholeheartedly accept the interesting notion that the igbo have ''married all our daughters'' in idungaran and isale-eko and that we should therefore give all our land and territory to them? Will he give up the patrimony of his people all in the name of trying to appease the igbo and get their votes for the APC in the upcoming governorship election in Anambra state? If that is the plan I doubt that it will work because they are a pretty unforgiving lot. The more you give the more they will ask for and at the end of the day you will end up losing far more than you gain. Governor Chris Ngige, who is an amiable gentleman and one of the most decent, accomodating, liberal, detribalised and civilised people that I know from the east, will gain nothing from this and sadly the person that will gain from it will be the hardline, igbocentric Peter Obi and his APGA candidate in november's gubernatorial election in Anambra state. People like Fashola need to undersatand that sometimes in trying to play the generous statesman and the kind-hearted omoluwabi we end up being taken for granted and making fools of ourselves. You only apologise to those who will appreciate it, who do not necessarily see it as an admission of guilt and who will not misconstrue it as weakness. This is because the display of weakness by any leader, no matter how well-liked, only attracts impudence and aggression from those who have a hidden agenda. A word is enough for the wise.

Truth Hurts said...

It was Orji Kalu, the failed Governor of Abia State who made the silly ''No man's land'' statement and his people took side with him. When you leave your eastern enclave and make silly claims just because you are settled and doing well in another man's land, you are definitely looking for trouble and you will get plenty of it.

Igbo destitutes were not the only ones sent back to their states, Yorubas, Northerners, and some from the southern states were also sent back to their states.

Na wah ooo. i wonder if this more than 150 million people are suppose to make one country. i think the amalgamation was kinda wrong! when i was in school, the bestest example my lecture uses as a major problem affecting Nigeria is, discrimination and Marginalization in Nigeria Economy! this country is sure sitting on a time bomb,
But honestly one common thing about igbos is " Lagos na No man's land" lagos is for everybody, No never!!!
and sometimes ago, the igbos at the Ladipo Market said a Yoruba man should not be imposed on them as there leader, that he should come contest with them in a open election, TAAA!!!!! for him father LAND??? they claim to be paying taxes, the question is, why not take your taxes and go to Onisha to build your own Lapido Market
i think igbos should put on their thinking cap and behave, otherwise they will have themselves to blame

FFK is a sadist, a frustrated gigolo, a hater of Ndi Igbo and an ailing mad man.

APGA we know and not APC. The apology doesn't come from heart, just becos NGIGE was becoming irrelevant and frustrated. Opinion polls has shown NGIGE get 4th position in the election....imagine! A whole NGIGE? IGBOS will never vote Boko haram party or the party that deported their sane brothers and sisters and labelled them " destitutes"

4 d first tym I think dis man made a point, I am igbo b4 anyone starts saying anything o! Come 2 think of it, if our Igbo governors have been doing well, will people leave their states to lagos? Hw many hausas and yoruba's are in Igbo land? Igbos are busy developing oda states, leaving their own states, and dis is one of d reasons why anything dat happens in non igbo states affects d igbos mostly...

Anonymous said...

Foolish fani kayode, is it bcos an ibo led millitary coup in 1966 chased ur father away from office while he akintola's deputy in the west. Fashola knows the importance of the ibos in lagos, ibos are nt hausas, they don't beg here, they work, nd they control commercial activities in lagos, while d indigenes are becoming “agberos” and “omo nile” every single piece of land d ibos own in lagos, they bought with their money. From sir louis ojukwu who owns majority of the buildings in lagos island apapa nd yaba area, to chocharis, the sun newspaper owned by orji uzor kalu, to diamond bank, fidelity bank, intercontinental bank (raymond obieri) and other major establishments . All the major markets in lagos are controlled by d ibos, alaba, trade fair, idumota, computer village, balogun, . If foolish fani kayode thinks dat its d yorubas dat developed lagos. Why have dey nt done d same in ado ekiti, abeokuta, oshgbo, akure, and ibadan, for d records shoprite recorde their worst sales in ibadan. Enugu city, owerri, awka, onisha, aba nd even abakailake, are more developed dan oda yoruba major cities aside lagos. So I think dat with such an economic influence in lagos nd nigeria at large, they deserve an apology. Afta all they are nt house boys or shoe makers or tatashi grinders. They are peacefull nd easy going. The eastern part of nigerian records lowest amount of violence in nigeria, dat goes to show d kind of people dey are.........thanks BRF even thou I lknow its a political move, tnks all d same

My question to this Bigot called Femi F kAYODE,Was Lagos developed by yorubas alone?After the civil war was Nigeria designed to let igbos develop their region? No..Because even building airport in any igbo region since the return of democracy have been subjected to might problems before any state can get approval for building airport,Are we talking of sea ports,did yoruba alone build the sea ports in Lagos? No..it was build by the federal government of Nigeria...if someone like FFK with all his claim of know it all can show his hatred on the progress of igbo people anywhere in Nigeria then common yorubas will take up arms against igbos anywhere...Femi Kayode needs help from his drug addiction..

Lastly, his desire to get the president's attention in hope of replacing one of the sacked ministers will not work. All he can do is use the Internet to abuse people - Waziri, GEJ, Bianca, IBB, Shagari.

The Igbos get slaughtered in the North all the time and their properties destroyed, it is almost like an annual ritual. How many times have they gotten apologies from the Northern Governors? And after each killing session, the survivals still hang in there. They don't say bad things about the Northerners the way they do about the Yorubas, yet they live in peace in the West.

These people(destitutes) were taken to their state in one piece, and the Igbos were condemning Governor Fashola. It was not done with bad intention. The Igbos should not mistake humility for weakness.

What an Igbophobia homosapien?! Kayode, your hatred and unfounded fear for Great, Innovative, Creative, Enterpreneurial, Industrious and Hardworking IGBOS can NEVER stop them from being who Almighty God made them to be. STOP being ENVIOUS and JEALOUS!!!

Fani Kayode is a big fool. He just makes himself look stupid anytime he talks. What is his problem with the Igbos? He is just a pathetic attention seeker. Very stupid man.

Totally agree with FFK this time ..Igbo people are the most unforgiving and greediest in Nigeria ...but let us face facts ..Gov Orji recently sacked people for not being indigenes of Abia state ...why didn't igbo people complain about this? Gov Obi also deported hause people from his state ..nobody said anythinmg..igbo peopl think they own lagos state..the earlier they are put in their place the better ..I knw say Linda won't publish this being an Igbo indigene .

Educated Demon.....are we no longer Nigerians?

This guy is indeed crazy. Early in the article he stated that Fashola apologised for the hurt feelings that the deportations stirred up and not for the deportation itself. So why would he still sarcastically ask "Again will Fashola apologise to the numerous northerners that he deported from Lagos as well and will he apologise to his yoruba kith and kin from Oyo and Osun for deporting them too?" Since his theory is that the apology was for hurt feelings, and since there havent been a large-scale furor or hurt feelings in the north, Osun and Oyo,shouldn't FFK already assume that there will be no apologies to the people of those areas.

I'll say this, not that I care about the retard FFF, the only thing he said that made sense though was that Gov. Fashola's apology to the igbos wasn't out of the fact that he was sincerely sorry for the incident but it had to be done because democracy demands it. Gov. Fashola is a great governor, I admire him and wish him success, but if he chooses dicrimination at this stage of his political career, its only gonna make him one of the "has been" e.g (FFF and his annoying self) !

That's my take on this Linda!

sleek said...

What is wrong with that guy( Fani-Kayode)? What makes him think he has an opinion over every issue? How on earth did this man serve as a minister of the federal republic of Nigeria? I know some of you will defend him, but one thing is very clear, two wrongs can never be right. I've personally made up my mind to be kind To my neighbour, no amount of venom from Femi can change that. The truth is, femi is a failure looking for gullible minds to derail. The last thing I'll want to listing to are words from a man who's willing to say anything, not minding how it will affect his immediate family. This nation is gradually moving past femi's opinion. Whatever he has to say belongs to the trash can.

Fashola goofed on this one. FFk is right. This is not the first time u deported.Why are u apologizing? because they gave u rams? So u will sell your people to whoever gives u ram? This not good leadership. I started getting worried about Fshola wen he named an estate after Anyaoku. This is one of the things that make these ppl think that they own Lagos. U did not apologize to Oyo govt. U did not apologize to Osun govt. Why now. This is stupidity.

consultancyvacancy@gmail.com said...

I so love FFK, truth be told he spoke my mind. All what BRF did was a polical statement(apology). We blame our past leaders for not developing the nation which is the main reason we all seek greener pastures in yankee and co which is also the reason igbo indigene come to lagos. The importance of the Igbo people cannot be over emphasised in the development of Lagos State and the Nation at large. Igbo leaders have failed there people and the result is deportation of igbo's looking for greener pastures in lagos. The yoruba people also have to give thanks to Awolowo who contributed relentlessly to the development of the southwest. Igbo people need to vote for the best candidate to lead them to the promise land. NGIGE for next governor.

where were the easterners when beggars were deported from Abuja? If only the energy used to cast aspersions on Fashola can be used to form a formidable party in the east,APGA would have taken over the presidency today. Just making noise for the wrong reasons.

This man sure has some personal grudge against the Igbo. The funny part is that it could just be a beef with one person and he tries to stereotype all Igbos. To think that someone like this was ever a federal minister. Many Yorubas are known for showing respect but this one was OBJ's attack dog that was used to insult and rubbish anyone who dared to oppose Baba's policies. Like a secondary school boy, he even listed his sexual conquests in a public essay. He must still be high on something...!

What is so brilliant about a piece laced with tribalism all over it...

It will never work I don't see hope judging by what I see and hear and observe from d society,the. Leaders, prominent nigerians,literates,illeterates... Its all d same thing I observe... We were never one and can never be one, I wish nigeria spoke 1 common native language,1 culture, 1 background we would have been amongst the world power today... I see no hope ... FIGHT FOR URSELF,UR FAMILY ... I see no hope for this country becoming 1

I am with FFK on this. Ibos are not the only one affected, why make issues out of it, Why are they claiming lagos is no mans land? Why apologise to them? What of oyo state, northerners that were relocated. They are very proud and domineering.

Am pretty sure u are not an igbo man or perhaps u r one of those people who lacks knowledge of their background, It's only natural for the igbo man to be mobile, there is no part of this world you won't find an igbo man, u are talking of The east, have u been there before, all businesses there are owned by igbos, we have d hustling spirit we explore beyond our horizons, go to benin republic, go to gambia. Go anywhere in the. World an igbo man is there, how much more your own country, is lagos not nigeria? And let me remind u lagos is the commercial heartland of nigeria.. And igbos are entrepeneural in nature so tell me brotherr why an igbo man won't invest there? What did u think attracted d white men 2 lagos during d colonial era? Think before u write, the coast in lagos opens it to other parts. Of the world ... Where is d most active wharf in nigeria, lagos is for everyone so as any part of this country until d day it is declared that we have officially divided, cos already dis country is divided

Please! He's saying the truth. There are too many humans in Lagos and the infrastructure available right now cannot tend to the needs of the ever growing population. other states need to be developed in Nigeria.

Who the f**k is this guy? How the hell did he end up a governor? 'To calm frayed nerves' and the effing bastard wants to ruffle them! This idiot is obviously tribalistic and people like him are the reason Nigeria will NEVER be one! You can't have a nation, when some people think one tribe or a particular people are better than the other, that's not how you build a nation. FFK or what the f**k his name is, is just a sorry excuse for what a leader should be and just goes to show the types of leaders that have been left with the task of ruling Nigeria!

Can you people say all these things if Ffk was a Northerner and you were to be in the North?...
If Yes! ...What do you think would have happened to you all by now...
Thank God, thank Yoruba, thank your stars and thank Ffk for being a Yoruba man...
This is because you can even try this even in the South-south in areas likes Edo, Delta, Rivers and Cross river state without being properly dealt with by now...
This is because they know you people can't take what you give...
You even had the meeting in Lagos?... Can u allow Yorubas have meetings and even titles in Igbo land?...
Yet u have Ohaneze in Yoruba land which you don't allow in your states...
Besides you share our resources even our revenue allocation and Yorubas don't share yours. Also, you contribute to the unemployment in Yoruba states because you employ only Igbos in vacant positions rather than merits when you are in a top position... U feel insecured now because you see that the Yorubas are waking up and your tactics are now known...and your plan to claim Lagos and force Yorubas out in future years has failed...put yourselves together and go back home and stop sharing our resources because you don't share yours with us and we are not complaining... so why are you complaining

I TYPE IN CAPS BECAUSE I NEED FFK TO READ THIS. #NOBODY ASKED YOU SUMMARIZE AND GIVE DETAIL MEANING TO WHAT GOV FASHOLA SAID# #WE ARE NOT STUPID HUMANS, WE CAN READ AND UNDERSTAND# #IF YOU NEED A JOB, I NEED AN ASSISTANT, EMAIL ME YOUR RESUME FOR CONSIDERATIONS#.

The difference between the man (Fashola) and the boy (FFK). Look at how short and brief the write up for his apology is and then look at what you (FFK) spent your small brain writing. Nobody asked you for details. You are part of the people that created the misunderstanding that Fashola is talking about. Best thing for you to do here. Is stop talking and stop causing problems.

Like I said, if you need a job, let me know; I have plenty of work.

When the truth hurts, people become subjective and they throw insults. Femi Fani Kayode has spoken the truth.

Anonymous said...

They claim "one Nigeria" yet they are tribalistic. Money from the south and east is used to develop places yet you can't find solace there. Go to the north, south, east and west, it is only an igbo man that will travel and contribute to the development of that area through setting up of businesses and even acquisition of property. Have you ever see a house owned by an hausa man in the east? Or one built by a yoruba man? These are rare. They only claim to be one nigeria but are concerned about their tribe alone. I think the ibos should also start thinking the way the average nigerian thinks which is tribalism.

For every 1 house an igbo man has, count 5 yorubas that have land in that area. You people are to boastful. I just pity una. If wahala start, u people will pack and go home just like june 12, this time, there would be abandoned property like what dey did to u guys in ph! The yorubas are aware of your hatred for them! And its spreading like wild fire. 2015 will determine nigeras faith so if u like keep building outside igbo land. Until when every region declares their soveireignity.

PS why do ibos in lagos go to the village for xmas if lagos is ibo land. I have never met any ibo person that will saay I'm from LAgos. Therefore lagos is not ibo land. Peace
