letter to Professor Banji Akitoye ,Leader of the Yoruba

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

dear sir

you are the number 1 leader  of the yorubas worldwide, as part of my bragging rights  i have bought your booki on the  Hisrory of Yoruba an i have STARTED READING IT  but what bugs me is that your book  as at august 13 2021   12    noon   is  ranked 648,204 in the world!   baba you are better than that,  you are more than that. Baba it mean your children are not reading!  Baba like Nigeria you are number1! Yorubas are the most urban of AFrcan peoples   yet your book , product of 50 years of research is rated 240 in  west  African  history, these are disturbing analytics.  there is much i expect of family libraries  just as they bought encyclopaedia Americana and encyclopaedia Brittanca so encyclopaedia   of Yoruba for those who can afford it

Baba, 18 million Nigerians    perhaps half of them Yoruba  can afford to build houses costing 20 million naira via a flexible payment plan  if i am to go by babajide odusolu a property visionary.

.many of these houses would have no library or study a place to take care of books. 

baba it is like history is repeating itself, you are desirous of negotiating Yoruba out of Nigeria  just like papa obafemi  awolowo  went negotiang nigerian independence  but in the course of it awolowo said to the British that they should forget about the rest of Nigerians because they did not know the meaning of independence, the rest of nigerians were too busy getting married, raising children and generally  having a good time.. Awolowo said if the British   if they wanted to talk about independence  . yoruba have not drunk deep   enough of their own history we can say they cannot appreciate the efforts you are making, they cannot appreciate   much about them selves      their own hisrtory   the mind is the yoruba man or woman it is not really about appearnces.

SO Obafemi AWolowo  said the  British  should turn to hum, mbadiwe, sarduana and azikwe. if they were to discuss  Nigerian independence,

 sir, awolowo, azikiwe, sarduana and mbadiwe have  taken the meaning of independence to the grave  now here comes professor stephen adebanji akitoye.

papa awolowo pampered and indulged his children. papa awolowo don go now and im pikin no fit take care of himself.pikin  still dey think of the time wey papa dey. na me born my pikin so papa dey talk. na my resposibilkity. na so papa dey talk papa don spoil im children,

in his strategies and tactics of the peoples republic  papa affirmed the need to bring nortnern nigeria up to the level of southern nigeria  and then we are moving along to together and not without nortern nigeria. papas vision being  a nigeria playing the role in africa that usa is playing in the west.

why papa won be president?>  papa say because of beneficial power .the power wey  go benefit every body that na im den dey  call beneficial powrer.

baba your children are

organised in 176 countries are perhaps not reading your book or the right kind of books

if the yoruba  leave the nigerian nation as you are contemplating   then it stands to reason that  the good people of Nortnern Nigeria would be left in servirtude, savagery , suffering, and medievialism - a grave humanitarian Disaster or even a catastrophe, so there exists a moral imperative for the yoruba to remin in nigeria.  and GOWON, GO ON WITH ONE NIGERIA, GOWON IS BACK! 

 whats  more sir, Africans have always been their brothers keeper       mbutu. i am because you are.

.the yoruba are standing in front of the promise land  what remains is to cross the river Jordan into the promise land. the yoruba have the moral obligation to also take  northern nigeria into the promise land  because the  masses of    northern Nigeria  including their  10 million  okada riders are also children of GOD .

Baba it has become imperative that we move from a kalo kalo and cow boy economy to a space faring and super start up economy this should be t the concern  and passion  of the yoruba.

when we get to the promise land all the cows in northen nigeria would be made to produce cheese, butter, milk and yogurt       and we charged premuim    because they are not fed with ferttilised    GRASS.

so  these are organic products. .organic milk, organic yogurt organic butter and organic cheese. a multi billion dollar industry

then we move to salad with all the fruit and vegetables laying waste in northne nigeria we form salad cooperatives  for vefetable salad and fruit salad .distributing salad around niferia  africa and Europe  by caRGO PLANES  because salad helps to reduce the disease burden of cancer, diabetes obesity hypertension.we shall get   THE        NIGERIAM MEDICAL   ASSOCIATION nma  and celebrities  LIKE DAVIDO, ,ASA AND tiwa sawage   AND whiz kid  to endorse the consumption of salad   FROM NORTENRN NIGERIA, the lenGTH and breaDh of nigeria. the nooks and crannies so that whAT results is a win win win situation

then we move to the mambilla electric power project my birtday gift for it was siIGnedD  and sealed on my 51st birtHday .when we fix mambilla there would be an exponential increase in jobs in nortHern nigeria such that nortHen  nigeria would say farewell to okada riding and this would help to decongest lagos  with okada riders moving up north for proper jobs,decent wages, and affordable housing by viRtue of flexible payment plans ,foreign direcT investment anc remittances. so there would be a vibrant construcTion industry in nortnen nigeria  along with manufacturing logistics and call centres .   the several edtechS would be engaged to retrain and retool the okada rIiders for manufactiring logistics and call centres and more
