The Tyranny Of Saraki Family And The Kwarans’ Struggle For Liberation By Remi Oyeyemi “

The Tyranny Of Saraki Family And The Kwarans’ Struggle For Liberation By Remi Oyeyemi “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”- Frederick Douglass (Jan.1818 – Feb. 1895)BY REMI OYEYEMISEP 23, 2015243942The good people of Kwara State have been yoking under the tyranny of the Saraki Family for several decades.  They have yoked for so long that it seems that suffering in subjugation has become their second nature.  Others often joke about their supposed docility and assume that this has been responsible for their inexplicable acquiescence to brutal subjugation, enslavement and endless denigration by a single family that has held them to ransom

A woman who rejects a man with a vision and follows a man with a television will watch the man with a vision on her husband's television. Stupidity they say, is by choice. How dumb can a lady be? You drove your boyfriend to the gas station to buy gas, after paying for the gas with your own money, you went ahead to pump the gas by yourself while the boyfriend sat comfortably in the car flipping his finger on the phone texting another girlfriends.  It's more common these days to see that men who do less for ladies are the ones who have stronger grips or control over the ladies than the men who truly care and have good visions for themselves and the ladies they crave for.

Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. It's been 511 days that 276 of our precious girls were kidnapped from their school dormitory by the insurgents in the North East, Nigeria. The abduction of these girls on April 14, 2014 riveted global attention and sparked an international outrage at the lackaidasical attitude of the then civilian regime of ex President Goodluck Jonathan and the United Nation's cold resolve to wade into the situation on time. Among this figure, 57 girls have miraculously escaped when the vehicle conveying them broke down on the road in the thick hour of the night. Since then, there have been public outcries with protests and marches in the cities across the globe. The US First Lady dedicated her 2014 mother's day address to the missing Nigerian girls, their parents and all peace-loving people of the world. Alicia Keys the popular singer raised her voice and her music to clamor for the release of the girls. The new Mayor of New York was

Muhammadu BuhariTolu Jinadu"">Some call it the Buhari bounce. Others describe it as the Buhari effect. Yet some others say it is the Buhari aura. One thing is, however, crystal clear. Things have not been the same in the past 100 days in Nigeria, since Muhammadu Buhari assumed the presidency. A new sheriff has truly come to town.Exactly 100 days ago, he climbed the podium at Eagle Square in Abuja and got inaugurated as president, 30 years after he had been toppled from power as military head of state. He promised to belong to nobody, and to belong to everybody. It is a pledge that still resonates loudly today, and will
